Chapter 214: Chapter 154: The Birth of Spiritual Liquid, First Exploration of Ancient Tomb Ruins! (5k)_3
[At the beginning of the twenty-fifth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation still remained at the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage, but you had made considerable progress compared to before.]
[You were satisfied with this and knew that Demon-Subduing Pass might be breached this year, time was pressing.]
[Thus, you chose to enter the Immortal Martial Era Instance again!]
"Here it comes!"
Su Xing saw this, feeling slightly nervous, and at the same time, very curious about what exactly was hidden in the ruins.
His current cultivation level was the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, yet the dangers within this instance were severe enough to prompt a warning from his talent to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
"Fortune favors the bold! I really want to see, what exactly is hidden inside the ruins?"
[You arrived at the familiar mountain and found that large boulder from your memory!]
[This time you did not hesitate, blasting the boulder in front of you with a punch!]
[As the boulder shattered, a white orb of light appeared in front of you, understanding that stepping into this light would transport you into the so-called ruins.]
[Your talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster frantically warned you, urging you not to enter.]
[But your mind was made up, and you stepped into the orb of light!]
[The scenery before your eyes changed dramatically, and when you came to your senses, you found yourself in a strange environment.]
[You looked around, the damp and dim environment lit only by the Luminous Pearls on the walls, casting a faint light.]
[You didn\'t act rashly but instead carefully observed the surroundings.]
[The air carried a strange sulfuric acid smell, along with the faint sound of dripping water in the distance.]
[By the weak light, you saw several corpses nearby, reduced to skeletons by the ravages of time, and signs of battle around them.]
[The palpitations grew stronger, you knew your talent was signaling, yet you boldly took a few more steps forward.]
[You studied the scattered skeletons, some robust like men, others more delicate like women.]
[But without exception, these skeletons were as translucent as jade, signifying that prior to their deaths they were at least at great perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators!]
[Only Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators could achieve bones that remained as translucent as jade thousands of years after death.]
[From the signs around you, it seemed they must have fought before dying, but their magical treasures and storage bags were nowhere to be seen, apparently taken by others.]
[Seeing no more useful information, you decided to move forward.]
[After walking several hundred steps further, the passage that was initially ten zhang wide gradually narrowed to only one zhang, but the Luminous Pearls set into the walls became more numerous and the light brighter.]
[At the same time, the uneasy feeling in your heart intensified.]
Su Xing saw this and furrowed his brows,
"Strange, shouldn\'t these ruins be the resting place of the ancestors of the Wan Mu Sect? Why is there evidence of battle?"
"And even Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators have perished at the entrance?"
"What exactly happened in these ruins thousands of years ago... are there still any cultivators alive inside the ruins now?"
Su Xing grew increasingly curious, and also wished to understand the source of the dangerous premonition.
[You continued forward and soon found two more skeletons in a corner.]
[These skeletons were crystal clear and as white as jade. You picked up a few bones to weigh them and then were shocked.]
[The bones were extremely heavy, indicating a very high density, a sign of advanced stage Body Refinement Cultivators!]
[Because only sufficient bone and muscle density can ensure a Body Refinement Cultivator\'s capability to unleash astonishing power.]
[And based on your estimation, the density of these bones was even higher by three parts than yours, which meant...]
[These two sets of bones on the ground were once Broken Void Realm cultivators!]
Su Xing felt shock at seeing this and murmured,
"What exactly is concealed within these ruins, that even cultivators of the Broken Void Realm have perished here?"
Su Xing suspected that thousands of years ago, the cultivators of the Wan Mu Sect who had entered might have been involved in an extremely astonishing battle.
And perhaps in that battle, not only were the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators considered insignificant, but even the cultivators of the Broken Void and Return to Void Realms could only perish?
"What was the cause of that great battle? Was it for the struggle over Spiritual Energy?"
"But that\'s not right either... if they were preparing for slumber, there would be no need to fight again before that..."
Su Xing became increasingly puzzled as he looked towards the simulation panel.
[The unease in your heart intensified, yet you decided to continue exploring.]
[After tens of steps more, you suddenly sensed wisps of Spiritual Energy in the air!]
[Although this Spiritual Energy was sparse, it suggested that a Spirit Vein might still remain within the ruins.]
[You pressed on.]
[Suddenly, a strange thudding sound came through the darkness, and a dark figure darted past in front of you!]
[The figure moved extremely fast, and you couldn\'t make out its shape, but from its contour, you surmised it was a humanoid.]
[As the figure flashed past, the sense of imminent danger in your heart climbed to its peak, so you quickly drew the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, ready to face the enemy!]
[Your Divine Sense spread forth like a tide, successfully reaching the dark figure less than thirty zhang ahead of you!]
[But to your alarm, this figure had no signs of life, a sign that it could be a puppet!]
[Suddenly, the figure rushed towards you aggressively, and you swung the Spirit Sword Mo Bing in your hand towards the puppet!]
[Duang!]
[A Sword Qi slashed at the puppet, making a sound like metal clashing, but the figure only paused slightly before continuing its attack towards you...]
