Chapter 2136: Phantom in the Altar
That epic gem was of no use to Lin Jiu, so he took it back and sold it. But the Holy Spirit-level Dawn Gem was different. The effect of this gem was among the best among all the gems Lin Jiu had come into contact with. Of course, the scarlet fragment was excluded, as this gem fragment was not a complete version at all.
The effect of the Dawn Gemstone on the skilled players is quite important. If it is sold in the paradise, it can definitely be sold at a good price. This is because the effect of the Dawn Gemstone can work with the skilled players' ability to improve their state of mind.
Abilities like Su Xiao's meditation, Lin Jiu's quiet contemplation, etc. improve slowly. The role of the Dawn Gem is to keep the mind relatively pure, so as to maximize the effect of such abilities.
Up to now, Lin Jiu's luck attribute has begun to play a role in the mission world. Isabella was able to pick up elemental crystals, maps, and keys in the ruins of the gods, and Winnie was able to get a set of holy spirit-level equipment for free in the Frost Palace, which obviously reflects that their luck is not low. As Lin Jiu's servant, their own luck is interrelated.
Now that he had picked up two gems for free, Lin Jiu was lucky. However, his luck would not be so good in the future. After all, not everything could be determined by luck. For luck to work, there must be prerequisites. For example, for a lucky person to pick up money, the prerequisite is that there is money on the route he passed by.
Lin Jiu also checked the gems inlaid on other Yangyan Bird sculptures, and they also had obscure energy fluctuations, but they were very weak. These gems were indeed gem items, but under the long-term erosion of the dark magic power of the Annihilation Abyss, the power in these gems has been severely worn away, and they have become a pile of blank gems.
The reason why the Dawn Gem was able to remain intact was probably because it was related to the Yangyan Bird Clan and Melia's manipulation. In addition, the epic-quality gem was probably preserved intact because it was inlaid on a sculpture together with the Dawn Gem.
As if being pulled by something, Talin led the team to the palace in the middle of the palace complex, which was also the best-preserved palace in this place. In front of everyone was a huge copper door with a finely carved "Yangyan Divine Bird" pattern inlaid on it. Even though the entire area was blood-red, the pattern still shone with golden light, like the first ray of light when the sun rises.
The door seemed to be very "intelligent" and could determine Tarin's identity. When Tarin reached out and touched the door, it creaked and opened by itself without anyone pushing hard.
What catches the eye is a circular altar set up in the center of the palace hall. The surface of the altar is made of some special golden metal, and in the center is inlaid a scaled-up replica of the "Yangyan Divine Bird" gold ornament. Twelve rays of light are bending and rotating counterclockwise, and four divine birds are spreading their wings as if ready to fly, surrounded by faint golden light, giving people a sacred and solemn atmosphere.
The palace hall is tall and spacious, with the ceiling almost unreachable. The top of the hall is designed with a special light-transmitting design. External light passes through the window lattice and casts the light and shadow of the Yangyan Bird on the ground. As the light fluctuates, the light and shadow will also change continuously, adding a sense of change.
If this palace was outside the Oblivion Abyss, it would definitely be a very magnificent palace. But being located in the Oblivion Abyss, under the long-term erosion of the power of the Dark Demon, it has already changed, and there is a faint sense of oppression.
The walls were inlaid with dim oil lamps, emitting a faint and strange light. Opposite the door of the palace, against the wall, there was a huge stone table, which was engraved with obscure runes and patterns, which seemed to hide some kind of evil power.
Next to the stone table was a long and cold porch. Rusty chains and worn-out curtains hung on both sides of the porch, swaying in the wind and making eerie sounds. The bluestone slabs on the ground had long become cold and damp, making them feel as if they were stepping into a cold hell with every step.
While everyone was curiously looking at the palace, Lin Jiu had already set his eyes on the metal sculpture in the center, wanting to see what it was made of. And Talin, guided by his heart, placed his hand on the altar and injected the power of Yangyan.
As the injected Yangyan power gradually strengthened, the air around the altar began to tremble slightly, as if some kind of power was being awakened. On the surface of the altar, the stones carved with intricate divine bird patterns suddenly emitted a soft golden light.
Seeing that the altar was not activating very quickly, Lin Jiu helped Talin and injected the power of the sun, which was similar to the power of Yangyan, into it. Soon, a bright light shot up into the sky from the stone platform in the center of the altar, transforming into a huge phantom of a divine bird. The wings of this divine bird spread out, covering the sky and the sun, and colorful light flowed on its feathers.
When the phantom of the divine bird reached its brightest, a powerful energy burst out from the altar and surged to the surroundings like a tide. This energy brought warmth and light, dispelling the haze and coldness in the palace.
As this power was released, the altar itself underwent a miraculous change. The originally dull stones became crystal clear, as if given life; and the carved bird patterns became more vivid and lifelike, as if they would flap their wings and fly high at any time. The entire altar seemed to be surrounded by a mysterious halo.
An image of a divine bird shrouded in light truly appeared before their eyes. Its body was smooth and elegant, and every part of it exuded an aura of sacredness and inviolability. Its feathers shone with dazzling light, as if they were made of pure gold and flames.
Each feather of the bird shone with a different light, from golden yellow to orange-red, and then to deep violet, colorful and interwoven into a flowing spectrum. The look in the bird's phantom's eyes when it looked at Tarin was filled with both gentle love and overwhelming majesty.
The tail of the Yangyan Bird is slender and agile, elegant and light, with a forked end. Each of its tail feathers is like a carefully carved work of art, emitting a soft and warm light. When the bird hovers in the air, its tail feathers sway gently, like countless tiny rays of light converging into a sea of light, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
There are always circles of mysterious halos around the phantom. These halos are composed of tiny points of light, dancing as the bird flies. At the same time, the phantom of the bird exudes an indescribable sacred aura. This aura is warm and powerful, as if it can purify all evil and filth.
Qing was more touched when he saw the phantom of the divine bird, because he had seen the appearance of Talin's Yangyan divine bird before. Compared with Talin, the phantom of the divine bird in front of him gave him a more majestic, powerful and warm feeling.
When the phantom of the divine bird turned into a human phantom, everyone looked at Tarin, because this human phantom was exactly like Tarin, except that this figure was more majestic and did not have the same affinity as Tarin.
It was not difficult for everyone present to guess that this was the projection of Melia. As Tarin's mother, Melia and Tarin looked very similar, which was not surprising at all. Melia was more majestic and less friendly, because Melia was the head of the clan and cultivated her aura. When Tarin lived in the Yimi Continent, the Yangyan Divine Bird Clan only had herself and Melia in disguise, so there was no environment to cultivate Tarin's temperament.
