Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 361 - 241: Stone Egg’s Nine Orifices (Part 3)
Fortunately, he slowly retrieved the ’General Control Order’ from the storage bag.
He merely pointed the order at the two door rings.
The eyes on the two Beast Swallowing Door Rings instantly became respectful and simultaneously spoke:
"King’s Order above, open the General Control Hall!"
Rumble~~
Accompanied by the voice of the two door rings, the vermilion door slowly opened.
Yet, just the sound of this door opening echoed throughout the underground palace, directly attracting the attention of many intruders.
...
Whoosh~~
As if opening an ancient gate long sealed with dust, Chen Ku stepped into the General Control Hall, stirring the air and lifting the dust on the ground into the air.
"What is that?"
He was instantly captivated by a grand creation inside the hall.
It was a massive model placed at the center of the hall, reminiscent of the ’Ancient Chang’an City’ model he had seen in a museum in his previous life, yet this model clearly represented all the buildings of the Hero King’s underground palace in a scaled-down version.
In this model, Chen Ku saw the lake of mercury at the entrance, the palace gate, the guards, various routes and structures, and the miniature versions of the medicinal garden, Seed Storage Hall, Mountain Lifting Hall, Shocking God Hall, Sheyue Hall, Armored Hall, and even the Snow Mountain World behind the mural, all embodied in this model.
The entire underground palace model was about a meter long and two feet square, yet as Chen Ku’s gaze focused on it, even the details of flowers and grass textures in the model were rendered with striking clarity.
This gave Chen Ku a sensation:
"Could it be that this model is actually the essence of the entire underground palace? That the entire palace is an external manifestation of this model?"
Retaining this feeling.
Chen Ku’s gaze soon landed on a stele about a foot in size at the center of the model, with three large characters inscribed on it, reading conspicuously:
Hero King Realm 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
A sudden realization dawned upon him:
Could it be that the so-called Array Suppression Stone refers to this stele?
Associating this with the name General Control Hall, it became apparent that everything here could likely be controlled through this stele, or this model.
Chen Ku then reached out to take the stele, only to find that he couldn’t lift it:
"It seems to be integrated with the model, and the model with the entire palace. So, how am I to refine it?"
While he was caught in perplexed thought.
"Hahaha! So, all the formations and prohibitions within this underground palace are controlled from here..."
Suddenly, an exuberant laughter came from outside the hall.
Chen Ku immediately turned to look.
Taking out the Coiled Dragon Staff.
He saw, at the entrance of the hall, silhouetted by the unknown light descending from the sky, the figure of a young man slowly emerged, wearing a Purple Gold Crown, a black and white interwoven vestment robe, and a red gourd at his waist.
After the young man entered the hall.
He immediately saw Chen Ku, who was already in the hall, his expression changed, and quickly retreated a step, asking in a mangled Daji language:
"Who are you?!"
But Chen Ku had already discerned from the youth’s attire and voice that the other was related to the Great Qi Cultivator of Yuan Country, Yelev Xuandu, likely a disciple from his sect.
This young man was Gao Huan, who had previously been ordered by Yelev Xuandu to watch Shangguan Yun.
He was later scared off by Shangguan Yun with a Sword Puppet, but through communication from his Master Uncle Yelev Xuandu, he also found the route into the underground palace, unexpectedly...
Just as he arrived here, he encountered Chen Ku, who had opened the General Control Hall.
