353: Open the ruins

Azure Origin Sect's move came a bit earlier than usual.

As the Array Revered Master whose figure couldn't be seen appeared, a group of people also walked over not far from the ground.

This group of people were all wearing Azure Origin Sect attire, each with an arrogant expression, striding confidently.

When they appeared, everyone's face revealed a solemn expression.

This time, there were quite a few Disciples from the Immortal Sect, with twenty to thirty Qi Training cultivators alone, and each one had an extraordinary aura, at least at the Qi Training stage, eighth level or above.

In this kind of place, ordinary Qi Training cultivators were completely insufficient. Those who could come here had strength and Realms far surpassing those outside. Even if their Realm wasn't high, they must have mastered some special means.

Zhou Luo's several children did not come. Most of them were in secluded cultivation, preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and would not participate in this kind of competition.

Among those twenty to thirty Immortal Sect Disciples, Zhou Luo also saw an old acquaintance.

That was a woman wearing a white long dress. She held a long sword inlaid with gems, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her face exquisite, and as she walked, an extraordinary aura permeated outwards.

It was Shangguan Qianxue, who he had cooperated with in the Magic Forest back then.

After so many years, compared to back then, her temperament was even more transcendent and refined. Moreover, not a single trace of aura emanated from her body. Walking among that group of Immortal Sect Disciples, if not for her appearance and figure, perhaps no one would have noticed her.

Qi Chuan had said there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Immortal Sect. It seemed she was one of them.

He hadn't expected that his competitor this time would be his old acquaintance.

When Zhou Luo looked over, Shangguan Qianxue also looked back.

A hint of doubt flashed in those bright beautiful eyes. Immediately after, she felt a familiar aura on that simple and unadorned face.

"It's him?"

A figure appeared in Shangguan Qianxue's mind.

Back in the Magic Forest, she had personally witnessed this guy's way of doing things and knew how terrifying this person was.

Especially his judgment of the situation, his extraordinary patience unlike ordinary people, and his control over human nature, and so on.

That time, it was the first time she knew that there was actually someone in this world who acted in such a way.

Previously in the Sect, she followed the path of being open and grand, never understanding how to keep a low profile, only knowing how to display her edge.

The benefit of this was that with her identity as an Immortal Sect Disciple, no one dared to plot against her, and she could also obtain what she wanted through her strength.

But if she encountered someone like him, even if her strength was higher than his, she might not necessarily gain an advantage over him.

At that time, she understood that in the path of cultivation, strength is very important, and wisdom is also indispensable.

A tree standing out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; something too rigid is easily broken.

Being too sharp and revealing might bring a lot of trouble upon oneself.

Later, after returning to the Sect, she also gradually became low-key, staying secluded and cultivating diligently.

After that Magic Forest trial, she successfully broke through the Qi Refining Realm and entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She hadn't expected that he had also quietly reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Thinking about it, with his ability, becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator should also be effortless.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Standing beside her was a young man. His appearance was extraordinary, his figure tall and straight, and he had a gentle smile on his face, looking harmless. However, there was a hint of coldness in his demeanor.

"It's nothing," Shangguan Qianxue said indifferently.

The man nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "Senior Sister, this time Revered Master overcame all difficulties and only allowed the two of us to come here. It's because he wants us to obtain that Spiritual Artifact, so this matter cannot fail."

This time, only the two of them from the Azure Origin Sect came at the Foundation Establishment Realm. There were many factors involved behind this.

The most important thing was that their Revered Master's faction wanted to strengthen their power.

Therefore, after learning that a Spiritual Artifact had appeared in this set of Ruins, they were sent here.

Since it was a trial, the Azure Origin Sect would certainly not let all Disciples go, so the number of spots was limited.

And they were the only two from this batch who came at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Besides them, behind those Immortal Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining Realm around them, stood various factions.

For opportunities like this trial, each faction hoped that their subordinates could improve their strength and advance their Realm, so they would more or less send people.

Dozens of Immortal Sect Disciples arrived before the mountain peak, standing there with solemn expressions, quietly waiting for the Sect Elders to break the formation.

Other Cultivators tried their best to keep their distance from them, while their eyes were fixed on the Immortal Sect Elder breaking the formation in mid-air, ready to enter the mountain peak at any time.

Zhou Luo and the others moved closer towards there.

"Daoist friend Dragon, after we enter later, you will follow me," Qi Chuan transmitted via voice.

He seemed to have mastered certain information, or perhaps possessed some means of treasure hunting, which could avoid some dangers in the Ruins.

Boom—

At this moment, there was a sudden shaking of the earth and mountains, and violent sounds came from all directions.

One could see that the dense light outside the mountain peak was gradually dimming, the Space also began to distort, and the ground trembled uncontrollably.

Everyone focused their minds tightly, staring intently ahead. Some even had protective spiritual light emanating from their entire bodies, spiritual energy surging, creating an extremely grand scene.

Everyone wanted to be the first to rush in, to see if they could get there first and obtain some good things.

It is said that the Foundation Establishment cultivator earlier, after activating the mechanism, luckily obtained a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation Methods, and then, taking advantage of the formation having just taken shape, risked his life to break out, and has since disappeared without a trace.

The allure of a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation Methods in the outside world is self-evident.

One must know that even the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors of those Longevity Families only controlled Cultivation Methods at the Qi Refining Realm.

These days, it is truly too difficult to obtain a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Methods, let alone one at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. It is said that the Golden Core True Person's tomb has not been truly opened yet, and there may be more unimaginable heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside.

This is the Ruins of a Golden Core True Person. No one would doubt that there are no good things inside.

"Break—"

A heavy, thunder-like human voice came from the sky. The Immortal Sect Elder held an array plate, continuously fluctuating it, summoning thousands of rays of light.

The rays of light intertwined in the air, forming a magnificent scene.

Within that scene, the power of that Second Order formation was also constantly fading, and the light barrier that originally separated everyone gradually became transparent and dissipated.

Everyone held their breath and focused their minds.

Watching the light barrier disappear, in the next second, countless Cultivators rushed towards that mountain peak, like ferocious beasts that had discovered prey, carrying astonishing auras.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Countless sounds of breaking through the air cut through the sky. Some controlled Spiritual Artifacts, some rode spiritual beasts, and some continuously flashed, all wanting to get a head start.

Zhou Luo and the others were not in a hurry.

Their sights were not on the periphery of the mountain peak, but on the depths of the mountain peak.

The burial place of that Golden Core True Person.

Qi Chuan's gaze darkened, and he said in a low voice.

"Let's go."
