Chapter 1382 - Soul Runes
The entire city consisted of ancient halls, broad streets, withered trees, and dried-up rivers, but not a single trace of life remained.
Liu Wuxie had seen dead trees revived before, yet the trees here felt fundamentally different. It was as if some mysterious force had sucked every last drop of life essence from them, leaving nothing behind but husks.
Over the past few days, thousands of cultivators had been pouring into this place.
"That's strange. People have clearly been here before, so why didn't anyone discover Ancient Loulan City?" Liu Wuxie wondered as he stood amid the crowd.
The appearance of the three red suns had warped the layout of the Blood Fiend Battlefield. The sudden emergence of the mysterious passage and the resurfacing of Ancient Loulan City remained veiled in mystery.
"Could the three red suns have forced Ancient Loulan City to reemerge?" someone nearby speculated, though uncertainty colored his tone. Very few people had ever ventured so deep into this region.
"It should be a spatial misalignment," a pinnacle Void Realm cultivator said slowly. "The three red suns must have triggered massive crustal shifts on this planet, forcing Ancient Loulan City to rise from deep underground."
Liu Wuxie silently nodded to himself.
He had seen brief mentions of Ancient Loulan City in the Heavenly Dragon Sect's books, but he had no personal memories of it. Even in the Fleeting Cloud Celestial Realm, records of the Loulan race were scarce, as they had always been exceedingly rare.
Even the Heavenly Dragon Sect's texts contained only scattered fragments about the city, with no detailed accounts of its rise or destruction.
The Loulan race had only existed for roughly a hundred years before vanishing without a trace, disappearing before the outside world could even grow familiar with them.
"Could the Loulan clan be a race from outside the four astral domains, drawn here when a clash between two worlds opened a space-time passage to the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain?" A bold speculation occurred to Liu Wuxie.
