Chapter 214: Chapter 154: Birth of Spiritual Liquid, First Exploration of Ancient Tomb Ruins! (5000 words)_3
[In the twenty-third year, you continued cultivating in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, consuming Spiritual Liquid daily, sprinting towards the fifth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage.]
[In the twenty-fourth year, your Origin Force still remained at the entangled level and progressed slowly. You focused more on cultivation.]
[At the beginning of the twenty-fifth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation was still at the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage but had improved significantly compared to before.]
[You were very satisfied with this, and you knew that the Demon-Subduing Pass might be breached this year, so time was tight.]
[Thus, you decided to re-enter the Immortal Martial Era Instance!]
“Here we go!”
Su Xing felt somewhat nervous as he read this, while also feeling very curious about what was hidden in the relic.
His current cultivation level was at the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, but the dangers in this instance were such that his Talent for Avoiding Danger had given him a warning.
“Fortune favors the bold! Let’s see what exactly is hidden in this relic.”
[You arrived at the familiar mountain and located the large boulder in your memory!]
[This time, you didn’t hesitate, and with one punch, you shattered the boulder in front of you!]
[With the shattering of the boulder, a white light orb appeared before you. You understood that by stepping into this light orb, you would enter the so-called relic.]
[The Avoiding Danger Talent frantically warned you not to enter.]
[But you had made up your mind and stepped into the light orb in one stride!]
[The scenery before you changed rapidly, and when you came to your senses, you found yourself in an unfamiliar environment.]
[You looked around. In the dim and damp environment, only the Luminous Pearls on the walls emitted faint light.]
[You didn’t act rashly but carefully observed your surroundings.]
[The air had a strange sulfuric acid smell, and there was a faint dripping sound in the distance.]
[Using the faint light, you saw several corpses not far away. They had been eroded by time, leaving only skeletons, with traces of battle around them.]
[That feeling of unease grew stronger. You knew it was the Avoiding Danger Talent warning you, but you still boldly took a few steps forward.]
[You observed the skeletons. Some were robust and seemed to be male in life, while others were more slender, possibly female.]
[Without exception, these skeletons were all as crystalline as jade, indicating that they were at least at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, or even at the Divinity Transformation Stage when they died!]
[Only Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators could maintain such crystal-clear bones even after thousands of years of death.]
[Judging from the surrounding traces, they must have fought before they died, but their Magical Treasures and Storage Bags were missing as if someone had taken them.]
[Finding no more useful information, you decided to move forward.]
[After walking hundreds of steps, the originally ten-zhang wide passage gradually narrowed to only one zhang wide, but the Luminous Pearls embedded in the walls increased in number, and the light became brighter.]
[At the same time, that feeling of unease in your heart became stronger.]
Su Xing frowned slightly as he read:
“Strange, isn’t this relic supposed to be the resting place of the Wan Mu Sect seniors? How could there be a battle here?”
“Even Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators died at the entrance?”
“What exactly happened in this relic thousands of years ago… And are there still any living cultivators here now?”
Su Xing grew even more curious and wanted to figure out the source of the danger warning.
[You continued forward, and soon discovered two more skeletons in a corner.]
[These two skeletons were crystalline and white as jade. You picked up a few bones and weighed them, then were shocked.]
[The bones were extremely heavy, indicating very high bone density, which was a sign of a high-level Body Refinement cultivator!]
[Only enough bone and muscle density could ensure the explosive power of a Body Refinement cultivator.]
[Based on your estimation, the bone density of these skeletons was even three-tenths higher than yours, indicating…]
[These two skeletons on the ground were Body Refinement cultivators at the Broken Void Realm when they were alive!]
Su Xing was shocked as he read this and murmured:
“What exactly is hidden in this relic, that even Broken Void Realm cultivators died here?”
Su Xing suspected that thousands of years ago, a fierce battle had taken place when the Wan Mu Sect cultivators entered the relic.
In that battle, Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators might not have even been significant, and even Broken Void and Return to Void cultivators struggled to survive?
“Why did that battle happen? Was it for Spiritual Energy?”
“That doesn’t make sense… They were preparing to sleep, so there was no need to fight before doing so…”
Su Xing grew increasingly puzzled and looked at the Simulation Panel.
[The sense of unease in your heart became stronger, but you still decided to continue exploring.]
[After walking a few more dozen steps, you suddenly detected thin traces of Spiritual Energy in the air!]
[Although the Spiritual Energy was thin, it indicated that there might still be a Spirit Vein remaining in this relic.]
[You continued forward.]
[Suddenly, a strange clashing sound came from the darkness, and a dark shadow darted past you!]
[The shadow moved incredibly fast, and you couldn’t see its form, but from its outline, you guessed it was a human figure.]
[As the figure flashed by, the sense of impending doom in your heart reached its peak, so you quickly drew your Spirit Sword Mo Bing, ready to defend yourself at any moment!]
[You sent your Divine Sense sweeping forward like a tide, successfully sensing the dark figure less than thirty zhang ahead of you!]
[What shocked you was that the figure had no signs of life, making it likely a puppet!]
[Suddenly, the figure quickly charged at you. You immediately swung your Mo Bing at the puppet!]
[Duang!]
[Your sword Qi struck the puppet, producing the sound of metal clashing, but the figure only paused briefly before continuing to lunge at you…]
