Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Searching for Treasure in Immortal Ruins
“We’re going in,” Lu Changsheng said, knowing they would find something valuable on this trip, he took his four disciples and flew toward the Immortal Ruins.
As Lu Changsheng and his group were about to enter the Immortal Ruins, two figures rushed ahead and disappeared into the ruins.
“Master, who were those two?” a disciple asked.
“Perhaps some Loose Cultivators from somewhere,” Lu Changsheng replied.
Lu Changsheng knew this trip wouldn’t be dangerous, so he entered the ruins without worry.
The Immortal Ruins offered no resistance to Lu Changsheng, a cultivator of the Void Refinement Realm.
The world’s powers within the Immortal Ruins were laws set by the Great Experts of the past.
The Immortal Ruins, being a space carved out by a Great Expert, had its own rules of heaven and earth as dictated by them.
The Great Experts presumably left behind the Immortal Ruins to leave their legacy or significant treasures.
Thirty thousand miles away, a great mountain home to three hundred palaces had one of the four Demon Generals under the Demon Lord as its master.
The emergence of the Immortal Ruins even stirred this place.
“If I could obtain the significant treasures inside the Immortal Ruins, perhaps I could surpass the Demon Lord someday,” the Demon General thought.
This Demon General soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, swiftly approaching the Immortal Ruins.
Within three thousand miles, all the Great Demons sensed the commotion caused by the emergence of the Immortal Ruins, and streaks of light flew toward it.
The legacy of the Immortal Ruins, destined for those with fate, might even be the inheritance left by an ancient Demon Race Great Power.
The way of Longevity, going against the heavens, these great demons would rush forward at even the slightest chance of becoming immortal.
One after another, the Great Demons entered the Immortal Ruins.
Lu Changsheng entered the Immortal Ruins ahead of the others and the scene before his eyes changed; clouds and mists twirled around, with countless islands floating in the sky, each inhabited by indigenous cultivators and mythical creatures.
However, the Immortal Ruins’ nature’s spiritual energy was limited, making the strength of these indigenous cultivators and beasts pitifully weak; Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense swept across, finding only a dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm indigenous powerhouses.
In these indigenous cultivators’ eyes, Lu Changsheng’s level of cultivation must be similar to that of a deity.
Lu Changsheng had read about the Immortal Ruins in the records of Mount Shu.
The Immortal Ruins, a space left by a powerful ancient being, could be considered a small world, while Xia State existed within the vast world, where the most powerful could be born to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
The indigenous people within the Immortal Ruins had a much lower ceiling, and owing to the obstruction of the world’s powers, they couldn’t leave the Immortal Ruins with their level of cultivation.
Believing that these indigenous powerhouses, with no more than the Nascent Soul Realm of cultivation, would be incapable of unleashing the full power of any significant treasure, even if they obtained one left by the ancient Great Experts, Lu Changsheng said, “It’s incredible, the Immortal Ruins have become a world unto themselves.”
Shen Xiaoyao was shocked to see indigenous cultivators within the Immortal Ruins.
Mo Huazhi, who had browsed through numerous books in the Scripture Pavilion of Mount Shu, fell into thought, “The Immortal Ruins could be an independent space created by an ancient Great Expert as a place for cultivation or to hide from powerful enemies. Alternatively, it could be an Inner World that evolved into the Immortal Ruins after a Great Expert perished.”
“Sister, are you saying that this world was the Inner World of an ancient Great Expert? Impossible, by your logic, wouldn’t it be possible that even the world outside is just an Immortal Ruins left behind after the fall of some ancient Great Expert?” another disciple pondered.
“Theoretically, it is possible,” she replied.
“Enough, there’s no need to dwell on this question. Your master will capture an indigenous cultivator; they should know where the forbidden areas are within the Immortal Ruins, and those places could be where the legacies or treasures are hidden,” Lu Changsheng stated.
Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense covered one of the Floating Islands.
This island, home to hundreds of thousands of indigenous people, had the strongest among them as its island lord, roughly at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The indigenous island lord was meditating when suddenly, an extremely terrifying presence descended!
A man with long black hair had appeared in his palace at some unknown time, with his hands behind his back, emitting a terrifying aura that left the island lord without a single thought of resistance.
For Lu Changsheng, at the third layer of the Void Refinement Realm, facing off against an indigenous island lord at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm was like fighting on entirely different dimensions.
“In this world, it’s impossible for such a powerful being to exist! You must be a deity!”
The native island master was not afraid.
Because at that moment, fear was useless; he could not possibly struggle.
Instead, he felt an immense fanaticism.
In his eyes, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was like that of a god!
Lu Changsheng used the “Soul Searching Skills” to forcibly read the native island master’s memory.
“The exact number of years of the Immortal Ruins’ existence cannot be verified, only that it has existed for countless years.”
“The strongest in the Immortal Ruins is no more than the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“There are two forbidden areas in the Immortal Ruins, one is located on the highest Floating Island, named the Star Tower, guarded by the strongest sect in the Immortal Ruins, the Sun Moon Sect.”
“The Star Tower is protected by an enchantment; even the Sun Moon Sect cannot approach it. The Sun Moon Sect’s mission is to guard the Star Tower for generations.”
“It seems that the inheritance of the Immortal Ruins is in this Star Tower.”
“This inheritance is fated for Shen Xiaoyao, others probably don’t meet the requirements.”
“The second forbidden area is situated below the three thousand Floating Islands, in a huge abyss, rumored to contain a Demon Suppression Tower at its deepest point, suppressing ancient vicious beasts, and no one is allowed to approach the Demon Suppression Tower.”
Lu Changsheng quickly got a clear picture of the situation in the Immortal Ruins.
What Lu Changsheng wondered about was what kind of vicious ancient beasts were inside the second forbidden area, the “Demon Suppression Tower”?
If Taiyuan Zhenren had said it was a cruel Great Demon, then Lu Changsheng would definitely have stayed far away.
But the highest cultivation among the natives in the Immortal Ruins was only Great Accomplishment in the Nascent Soul Realm, so a Great Demon at the Dao Palace Realm would already be considered an ancient vicious beast to them.
“First, to the Star Tower.”
Lu Changsheng once again used the Soul Searching Skills to erase the native island master’s memories of himself, and then he strode away.
“Strange, what just happened? What was I doing?”
The native island master was stunned for a moment, unable to remember, so he simply resumed his meditation and cultivation.
Lu Changsheng, with his four disciples, flew towards the highest Floating Island on his sword.
However, the other Great Demons who intruded into the Immortal Ruins didn’t show the same courtesy to the natives.
Boom!
The Demon General who entered the Immortal Ruins afterward punched and shattered half of a Floating Island, sending countless pebbles flying, and mercilessly wiped out tens of thousands of natives.
A native island master at the second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm was lifted by one hand by the Demon General: “Tell me, where is the most important place here?”
“At the top island, there is a Star Tower… ”
“Good, you are of no use now.”
The Demon General casually threw the native island master aside, and with a palm strike, the native island master was turned to dust and smoke.
The Demon General soared into the sky, also aiming for the Star Tower.
“I smell the presence of human cultivators; it seems the six great sects have also discovered this Immortal Ruins. It would be convenient to eliminate them this time.”
The Demon General’s speed broke the sound barrier, moving faster than Lu Changsheng and his group, and the distance between the two groups was closing rapidly.
“Not good, the nearby Great Demons have also discovered the emergence of the Immortal Ruins.”
Lu Changsheng sensed a presence approaching them that matched the power of the six Sect Leaders!
Instinct told Lu Changsheng that this Great Demon was definitely more than just at the early stages of the Void Refinement Realm.
Lu Changsheng took out a ninth-grade Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman from his bosom and transmitted his voice to his disciples, “Stick close to your master in a moment.”
