Chapter 32: Into the Ruins
"Good guy, if it weren't for Senior Sister's Xuantian Ice Technique to this point, it would really not be easy to deal with it", Jiang Heng looked at the ice slag on the ground.
A shallow smile also appeared on Dai Mengli's face, it was not easy to get praise from his senior brother, Jiang Heng was famous for being harsh to his senior brother in Tianhua Sect, and it was rare for him to praise him once.
"It's taken so much effort, I hope this spiritual essence won't let us down", Lin Zixu withdrew his double sword.
"You two just absorb the spiritual energy in the lake and cultivate, and I'll dive into the water to get the spiritual essence," Dai Mengli said.
"If there is any danger at the bottom of the lake, I'll go," Jiang Heng said worriedly.
"Don't say anything, I'll go", Lin Zixu said, and he dived directly to the bottom of the lake.
"In the past few years, the second junior brother has become more and more unruly, and he doesn't even listen to my words", Jiang Heng looked at Lin Zixu who sneaked into the bottom of the lake.
"He, that is, he has a hard mouth, and it is normal for young people to have a bit of a temperament, you are a senior brother and you have to include some", Dai Mengli comforted.
Jiang Heng looked at the beauty in front of him gently, his eyes were a lot softer, no longer as old-fashioned and harsh as usual, and there was a faint smile on his face, which he would only show in front of her.
Lin Zixu came back quickly, bringing out a large piece of spiritual essence, which was an excellent material for cultivation, and the three of them quickly entered the cultivation in the lake, no longer distracted.
Not far away, Wang Zhuo took Shi Xuan to see this big battle, they bypassed here and came to the other side of the lake, there was a huge haze to cover it, the three of them couldn't find them, they also entered the Spirit Lake to practice, this kind of treasure land is not available anywhere.
"Boy, I also enjoyed a while of Qingfu with Lao Tzu, but sooner or later you are my nutrients, the stronger you are, the more I like it", Wang Zhuo looked at Shi Xuan, who was frantically absorbing aura, and said.
Other people and horses who entered the ruins have long been scattered, some unlucky people have lost their lives here, and there are also some lucky guys, I heard that a person accidentally fell into a cave and picked up a powerful sixth-order spiritual weapon, which has not been wiped out for thousands of years, which is enough to show that it is extraordinary, and some people have obtained powerful exercises and spiritual skills.
Among these people, the people of the five major sects have more or less some information, they have inherited the ancient heritage, they have recorded this ruin, and the places they went to were some key areas, and they also gained the most.
Like this spiritual lake where Jiang Heng is located, it is enough in the outside world to support the establishment of a powerful sect, and it is estimated that it will be robbed of the head, but this relic will not last long, and soon this independent space will be closed again, and I don't know what year it will be when it will be opened again.
People are seizing the opportunity, frantically searching, refusing to forget a single corner, but everyone finds that as they go deeper into the heart of the ruins, they encounter more and more evil spirits and dangers, and these dangers dissuade a large number of weak people, after all, they have to live to have all this.
The disciples of the five major sects are obviously well prepared and by no means satisfied with the status quo, they have all gained something in this ruin, this is the benefit of being in these top forces, they can enjoy many benefits that ordinary people do not have, many people have sharpened their heads and squeezed into it over the years, which has also led to the fact that these five major forces have raised the conditions for entry in recent years. Now that I don't have outstanding talent, it's too difficult to enter the five major sects.
Jiang Heng and the other three of them cultivated in the lake for several days in a row, Lin Zixu said: "This lake water aura is extremely abundant, if we can move it to our Tianhua Sect, our strength will reach a terrifying height", he felt the majestic aura.
"Second Senior Brother, you are too greedy, it is already an extravagant hope that this thing can be cultivated here once, you still want to move it, this ancient relic will close itself in a short time", Dai Mengli looked at him angrily.
"We really don't have this kind of ability now, but I heard that in the distant past, there were people who could do it, and when people's cultivation reached that point, it would not be a problem to move mountains and reclaim the sea," Jiang Heng, who was silent on the side, said suddenly.
"Saint, it hasn't appeared for thousands of years, I heard that our ancestor of the Lipai is the existence of the pinnacle of a saint, in that distant era, the great sage can cover the sky with his hand", Lin Zixu also remembered the legend of the sect.
"Then senior brother, do you know what has happened in this world in the past few thousand years, why has our world become so depressed, and the spiritual energy has been depleted terribly, the peak of the current world Heavenly Spirit Realm is the master of the continent, it is hard to imagine how terrible those people were in the distant era?" Dai Mengli asked.
"This involves the secrets of ancient times, I heard the master say it, but he didn't tell me in detail, this seems to be the same as the rise and fall of the tide, the aura of this heaven and earth will have peaks and valleys, and now we have passed the most difficult era", Jiang Heng replied.
"I think it's almost time for the past few days, it's time for us to leave for the most important place, I guess the others are also about to leave, and we won't get anything any later," Lin Zixu said.
"We'll leave here early tomorrow morning," Jiang Heng said.
On this day, the core area of this ruin, suddenly changed, originally shrouded in a thick fog, but now the dense fog is slowly subsiding, these changes have attracted the attention of many strong people, they have put down what they are doing, are moving closer to the core area.
"It seems that we should also go, if it is too late, we will not even have hair", Wang Zhuo looked at the weakening mist.
He took Shi Xuan all the way forward, and on the way, he met a few lonely people and saw that they had treasures, so he directly intercepted and killed, without any morality, and Shi Xuan also became his accomplice again.
Not far from the core area, Zhou Nan and Tian Yun, two high-ranking disciples of the Moon Worship Sect, were casting an extremely strange spiritual technique, which had disappeared in the mainland for thousands of years, and this time they had performed it for the treasure of the core of the ruins.
Their spiritual skills communicate directly with the stars of the heavens, and they have a roulette wheel engraved with ancient runes, on which some star maps are depicted.
The two of them joined forces, and the stars on the roulette wheel began to shine brightly, and the stars seemed to point to something.
"Senior brother, the results are out, when the fog here clears, you and I will go directly, we will definitely be able to take the lead, and when they think about it, the treasure will already fall into our pocket", Zhou Nan looked at the strange astrolabe life, they already knew the specific place of the treasure.
"Our astrology was famous on the mainland as early as 10,000 years ago, and they also wanted to compete with us," Tian Yun said proudly.
"It's better to be careful, there are many people on the mainland, and they must not be underestimated," Zhou Nan said.
The disciples of several major sects had their own movements, and almost all of them came to the periphery of the core area, waiting for the fog to clear.
Those who can come here are either the core disciples of several major sects or the powerful ones, and they are bound to win this treasure, and no one will retreat.
The next day, the sun rose, and after breaking through the thick fog, a mountain with a strong aura appeared in everyone's field of vision.
As the thick fog drifted away, many people were also revealed, some sects and others had a lot of conflicts, before they fought for some spiritual treasures, but when they met again at this moment, a big war broke out directly, and the others were far away for fear of flying into trouble.
At this time, there were no good Samaritans to persuade them, and if they all died, there would be fewer people fighting with them, and some people would gloat at the battle.
Wang Zhuo took Shi Xuan to follow some of the crowd, he didn't make a move, he didn't want to be exposed now, he had to wait for Shenzang to appear.
By noon, the fog had finally cleared and many people had started to move, all looking for the entrance.
At this time, the two masters of the Moon Worship Sect saw that the time had come, and they relied on the advantage of divination to successfully seize the opportunity, and they avoided many dangers along the way and went directly to the core area.
The others were not so lucky, they had worked hard to circle the mountain for a long time before they found the way into the mountain, and the disciples of several major sects did not leave their hands this time, and their speed exploded to the extreme, leaving a group of people far behind.
Among them, the three people of the Tianhua Sect were extremely strong, and they were at the front, and the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Star Pavilion and the Wind Thunder Pavilion were in hot pursuit.
"This Jiang Heng's strength is becoming more and more terrifying, I look at his figure, his aura is compelling, it is estimated that he will break through soon, and now the gap between us will be even greater", Yin Qianxi and Luo Tianyi followed the footsteps of the three of them.
Wang Zhuo and Shi Xuan were not slow in the back, but he was not in a hurry, there must be a lot of terrifying spirit arrays and guardian beings in front of him, and these people just cleared the obstacles for him.
Sure enough, in the absence of a map, the disciples of the first few major sects were blocked by a lot, and they encountered a lot of terrifying remnant souls, so they had to start a big battle, fighting all the way, and forcibly opened a bloody path.
However, their speed slowed down, and the people behind them chased with all their might, and finally saw them.
At this time, everyone stopped, because the road in front of them was blocked, a powerful spirit array was in charge, and there were some puppets patrolling and wandering in that area, these puppets were not of low grade, even Jiang Heng and them had to spend a lot of money to make a move.
"Everyone, you have all seen that this huge spirit array is extremely powerful, if you want to pass through, you must break the formation, otherwise everyone should go back the same way", Jiang Heng turned to everyone who came up behind him and said.
"How good is this, even Senior Brother Jiang can't break the formation, let alone wait for us", someone said, and many people below were discussing.
"Although the spirit array is strong, it is not impossible, the disciples of our major sects can break it together, but those puppets have to be taken by you people, of course, if you don't want to, you can turn around and leave", Lin Zixu said to everyone.
They are also smart people, and these people follow them up the mountain, and they are too naïve to think that they will not have any strength.
"Senior brothers, what do you think of my attention", Lin Zixu looked at a few of the other sects and said.
"With this in mind, a few of us join forces, this spirit array is indeed not a problem," Yin Qianxi said.
The people of the other two sects also nodded in agreement.
"Since that's the case, let's start breaking the formation", Jiang Heng took the lead in jumping into the formation, and several other people also entered with him, seeing the disciples of several major sects making a move, although the strength of the others was not as good as them, they had no choice but to kill the past, their advantage was that there were many people.
Wang Zhuo, an old fritter, is naturally cunning, he almost doesn't work, and he paddles around with a few soft symbolic hits, his strength has been outstanding in this group of people, but he doesn't want to contribute.
The disciples of several major sects were in the great array of spiritual light at this moment, the spiritual array was fully activated, and the vast spiritual energy was continuously inhaled into the large array from all around, and the inside was dangerous and abnormal, the sky was blazing in some places, and the divine thunder was roaring in some places, even they did not dare to be careless.
"This spirit array has extremely strong killing intent, in ancient times, it was used to fight against the evil creatures outside, and now it is very old, and the power of the formation is less than one percent, but we can't be careless", Jiang Heng observed this spirit array.
Everyone attacked the formation with all their might, but the aura outside continued to replenish the lost spirit array, and even if they destroyed some devices with all their strength, they were immediately restored by the aura again.
"Senior brothers, if you keep your hands any longer, we will stay here, I will go to find the array spirit, and you will do your best", Jiang Heng thought of a way to crack it.
This formation can continue to absorb energy to recover, if it is not super strong, it can't be broken at all, this big array is presided over by a formation spirit, only by defeating it, can there be a chance to crack it.
"Senior brother, I'm here to help you", Dai Mengli took action to open up a safe path for Jiang Heng, countless fire rains were blocked by her ice, Jiang Heng successfully went deep into the big array, and the others no longer left their hands, they felt that this big array was not simple.
At the core of the formation, a formation spirit with a whole body of fire was urging the big array with all its might. After Jiang Heng broke in, the huge sword blade wrapped in the storm and killed the array spirit.
The spirit of the formation is extremely intelligent, and he knows how to invoke the majestic power from the formation to protect himself. A terrifying wall of fire blocked Jiang Heng's attack, Jiang Heng's whole body exuded a thick earthy yellow aura, and a thick rock armor body was formed in an instant, and he recalled the big sword and began to attack with all his might.
Whirling Battle Blade, this is a powerful frontal attack sword technique that he has recently realized, the spiritual power of the whole body urges the giant sword, and unleashes a whirling strike, forming a gust of wind around his body to blow countless flames away, and he successfully gets close to him and begins to perform terrifying melee strikes.
The array spirit kept unleashing all kinds of terrifying flame attacks, but it was never able to cause fatal damage to Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng's heavy sword had a domineering domination and deterrent power in the battle, his strength was enough to split mountains and stones, although the attack of the array spirit was strong, but his body could not withstand such a fierce attack.
Just when they broke the formation with all their might, the puppets outside and the crowd started a fierce fight, these puppets have no flesh and blood, they don't know fear, they are not afraid of pain, unless the core of the formation is destroyed, they will not rest until death.
These people, the strength is not too strong, and some people take the opportunity to paddle the water, which leads to their tragic battle situation, several people died tragically in the hands of puppets, and finally some relatively weak people feel it, they are just cannon fodder for these people, if this continues, they will only die in vain, and many people directly withdraw from the battle and start to go down the mountain.
As some retreated, the rest became more dangerous, and a few more died tragically, and some shouted: "Damn it, you are paddling like this, you are all going to die here, these puppets can fight endlessly, and they will all die when the time comes."
The crowd was defeated by the puppets, and finally some of the stronger people also sensed the danger, and they began to attack with all their might, which stabilized the situation.
Shi Xuan was also controlled by Wang Zhuo in the crowd to shoot comprehensively, his body was extremely hard, and these puppets were full of fire, the killing intent in his eyes was full of intent, and he just wanted endless killing.
In the spirit array, the battle has arrived, the array spirit desperately counterattacked, it recklessly urged the big array, waves of terrifying flames towards the crowd less, they are all the overpasses of the various major sects, at this moment they each used their means to resist, in the core of the big array, Jiang Heng exerted his strength to the extreme, and hit the array spirit one after another, its rout was already doomed.
After a brutal attack, the array spirit finally fell, the origin in its body was exhausted, and it could no longer continue to control the spirit array, with the fall of the array spirit, the large array could no longer draw energy from the outside world, and was soon destroyed by everyone's joint efforts, and the huge light curtain enchantment burst into flames, and all the people inside appeared in front of people.
They consumed a lot in this battle, especially Jiang Heng, at this moment, everyone sat on the ground, took the elixir and began to recover their aura. They didn't choose to take part in the battle between the puppets and the crowd, and they also wanted to have the upper hand in the next battle.
The battle between the crowd and the golems is finally coming to an end, and they have to pay a heavy price to break many of the golems.
They sat on the ground one after another to recover their state, they all reached this point, it was impossible for them to give up, but they didn't wait long, Jiang Heng and the others got up again, their strength was strong, this loss of aura was not fatal, and they quickly advanced towards the depths of the mountain.
As soon as the rest of the crowd saw that they had left first, they all dragged their scars and forcibly followed, and many of them had not yet recovered.
There was a cave in front of them, Jiang Heng and they came to the door of the cave, but their hearts were half cold, because it seemed that someone had taken the lead, and they hurriedly entered the cave, but the precious high-level spiritual materials inside had disappeared, and only some low-level spiritual weapons were left.
"Damn, who has the ability to be in front of us", Lin Zixu looked at the cave mansion that was taken first, and scolded directly.
"If my guess is correct, it should be the people of the Moon Worship Sect, haven't you noticed that they have not appeared all this time?" Dai Mengli said, she had already wondered why she hadn't seen the people of the Moon Worship Sect.
"Their Moon Worship Sect is famous for their astrology, and it is estimated that they have found other shortcuts, and this benefit is for them to take advantage of," Yin Qianxi said.
At this time, the crowd behind also felt this, they didn't care about the level of spiritual materials, the place they passed was like locusts crossing the border, everything that had spirits was snatched away, and several people fought again in order to compete for some spiritual weapons.
At this moment, a terrible scream was heard in the distance, and this sound seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul, and everyone's backs were alarmed.
"Be careful, there's a big guy here," Jiang Heng said.
All of them walked cautiously towards where the sound came from.
Not far from the cave, there was a wide flat land, and at this moment a huge flamingo was roaring, it seemed to be guarding something.
Wang Zhuo looked at the flamingo, "It is rumored that this flamingo is the ancient descendant of the phoenix, some powerful descendants can atavistic ancestors to appear phoenix bloodline again, this is the real descendant of the divine beast, I don't know if she has laid eggs, if she steals an egg, she will have a powerful assistant in a few years", at this moment he looked at this fierce bird with covetousness.
Many people's eyes are about to fall out, this is an extremely rare spirit animal, if anyone can subdue it, it will have a powerful assistant.
At this moment, there was a shout from the east side of the venue, and everyone looked over, only to see two people lying in the corner shivering, their bodies were scarred, and even the spirit armor of the body was damaged, and at this moment the flamingo was really going to walk towards them.
"It's the two high-legged members of the Moon Worship Sect, I didn't expect the two of them to come here before us", someone recognized them.
At this time, everyone noticed the spiritual artifacts and spiritual materials stored in the light curtain beside them.
"It seems that Zhou Nan and Tian Yun arrived here one step ahead of us, trying to monopolize the treasure, but they were attacked by fierce beasts, so they made such a mess," Luo Tianyi said.
"Save me, please save me, as long as you save me, all the spiritual weapons I got will belong to you", Zhou Nan pleaded painfully.
"Senior brothers, let's stop this animal for the time being, and save the two of them first," Jiang Heng said.
"Why did they save them if they didn't preach morality?"
"Although the two of them are greedy, but isn't the purpose of my monks' cultivation to maintain justice, although they are greedy, but they have paid enough price, and they have agreed to hand over what they have gotten, so what does it matter if they die", Dai Mengli didn't want to watch these two people die tragically, she was careful and kind, and she was willing to let people score three points when she encountered things from childhood to adulthood.
"Although I also hate these two guys, but since the senior sister has spoken, how can the senior brother stand by and watch", Lin Zixu said.
"Well, for the sake of Tianhua Sect's face, I, Tianxing Pavilion, am also willing to give them a chance."
Yin Qianxi and Luo Tianyi from the Divine Sword Valley also nodded, and the two people from the Wind Thunder Pavilion could only nod in agreement.
At this time, the flamingo was fierce and wanted to end the Moon Worship Sect who tried to steal the treasure.
Dai Mengli's far away ice wall successfully blocked the flamingo's footsteps, and the disciples of several major sects attacked frantically towards the flamingo, you must know that this guy has reached the fifth order strength, and he also has a thin phoenix bloodline, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
The flamingo was completely enraged, and no one dared to break into this place after so many years of guarding it. It opened its mouth and roared towards this place, and the terrifying sound waves were overwhelming, and the other weak people spurted out mouthfuls of old blood and retreated far away.
Everyone was dumb as soon as they saw each other, the powerful sound waves were frantically destroying their spirits, and at this moment, Jiang Heng's strong defense was reflected, his heavy rock armor resisted many attacks, and he took the lead in galloping forward and launching an offensive.
