Disciple, Don’t Cause Trouble, Master Won’t Leave the Mountain! - Chapter 171

“Right?” Jiang Yun smiled.

“Jiang Yun.” Qin Xiaoxi suddenly called out to Jiang Yun.

“What’s wrong?”

“Thank you. I wouldn’t know what to do without you.” Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but blush when she said this.

Jiang Yun was also stunned. He scratched his head and replied, “You don’t have to thank me. One more person on this journey meant that I will also have one more person to look after me. Just treat me to a meal when we return.”

“Sure, I’ll treat you to a meal at Phoenix Restaurant.”

Phoenix Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in Thunder City. At the same time, it was also the most expensive restaurant. Usually, the big families and high officials of Thunder City would dine there. It was said that a plate of ordinary stir-fried dishes could cost more than ten silver coins.

“You’re so generous? You would actually treat me to a meal at Phoenix Restaurant?” Jiang Yun was a little shocked.

“Of course I want you to eat something good.” Qin Xiaoxi smiled and then continued to walk forward with Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun took back the Guiding Lamp. The small ball of light flickered for a while before it returned to Jiang Yun’s hand and finally disappeared.

“Jiang Yun, look at the ceiling.”

The two of them looked up at the same time. It was strange to say that the floor was extremely bright under the faint blue flames, but they didn’t expect the ceiling to be pitch-black. It was so dark that it seemed like the night sky when they looked up, the top of the two pillars in the hall also disappeared into the darkness.

“This ceiling… there’s no reason why it can’t be lit up,” Jiang Yun sighed.

“Take a closer look at the ceiling,” Qin Xiaoxi said when she saw that Jiang Yun didn’t seem to grasp the main point.

Jiang Yun naturally did as she said, but when he looked at it, his jaw almost dropped.

The hall seemed to have no ceiling at all, and it was as if they were shrouded in darkness. Upon closer inspection, there were even a few stars twinkling in the darkness.

Yes, it was not an exaggeration at all. The ceiling seemed to be covered by a layer of the night sky.

Upon careful observation, numerous stars were streaking across the night sky, and the two pillars beside them were of different heights. They disappeared into the starry sky without a trace. At first glance, it was quite spectacular.

“Why… why does the ceiling look like the night sky?”

Jiang Yun was extremely shocked. He couldn’t understand it no matter how hard he tried? Qin Xiaoxi didn’t know what to say. This was the first time she had encountered such a scene, and she was at a loss for words. At this moment, she was just looking up silently, feeling the magnificence and grandeur of the night sky in the ceiling. Moreover, these things simply made people not want to take their eyes off it.

“This starry sky… it actually appeared inside the room. Could it be that we’re not in a cave at all?” Qin Xiaoxi was very curious.

“It shouldn’t be. I think the night sky in the ceiling might be some kind of illusory cultivation technique that has existed here since ancient times.” Jiang Yun was also very surprised, but even if it was a type of cultivation technique, to be able to preserve it until now was something even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

“How is this possible?” Qin Xiaoxi obviously did not believe it.

“Think about it. If we were outside, we would have heard of the whistling north wind and noticed the vast whiteness long ago. How could we have the chance to witness such a peaceful scene?” Jiang Yun said.

“If this group of people from the Northern Region had built this place, then the cultivation techniques used is quite impressive.” Qin Xiaoxi sighed in admiration.

“This must be the case. However, I have to admire the wisdom of these people. They were able to create such a magnificent scene thousands of years ago. It’s truly admirable,” Jiang Yun also praised.

The night sky was not just a static appearance. It was moving from time to time. Jiang Yun could see that the stars in the night sky were constantly flashing, from time to time, a few meteors would slide down the night sky. Therefore, before Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun looked carefully, they really thought that the ceiling was the night sky.

However, that was not the case.

“Very impressive. It seems that this group of people from the Northern Region are quite something. There are countless capable and righteous people in their community.”

Jiang Yun nodded. That was indeed the case.

This also made Jiang Yun filled with curiosity towards the Northern Region once again. After all, the group of huge monsters they encountered was already shocking to him. Jiang Yun was even more curious about this place now, after seeing the pitch-black ceiling that looked like the night sky.

“Although this group of people from the Northern Region is a foreign race, I have to admit that those who have persevered for a long time in such a place are filled with wisdom.”

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxi also nodded in agreement.

“I originally thought that these people from the Northern Region were just a group of sorcerers who learned astrology.”

“That’s unlikely. The Frost Dragon must have imparted some spiritual power to them. Look at these finely cut stone materials. It’s impossible to complete each of them with just human strength alone. Even if they could do it, it would probably take a lot of time.”

Qin Xiaoxi nodded. “That’s right. When I first saw that stone door, I was wondering how this group of people could cut these stones so perfectly thousands of years ago. Moreover, even when they stacked them together, it didn’t affect the aesthetic at all.” This was also what the two of them were curious about. This Northern Region was really an extremely mystical place.

Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi discussed for a while more before walking together towards the pillar and the burning torch at the side. As they got closer and closer, the crackling sounds of the flames reached the ears of Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi. Unlike normal flames, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi could not feel any warmth from the faint blue flames, it was as if the burning flames were just a projection.
