648: The remnants of the King's Ruins

"Go test him."

As the Middle-aged Cultivator finished speaking, the black-clad man leading the group opposite merely sneered without replying, then gave an order to several black-robed figures beside him.

Several black-robed men swayed, and streams of profound light surged within their bodies.

Buzz~

The several black-robed figures attacked simultaneously.

Chains imbued with different profound lights lashed out from the sleeves of the black-robed figures, heading straight for the Middle-aged Cultivator.

The Middle-aged Cultivator's expression changed slightly.

Within his body, his previously concealed Golden Core Qi suddenly burst forth.

Five different lights converged behind the Middle-aged Cultivator, forming a wheel that slowly rotated.

Among them, only the golden light was the brightest.

The Five Elements Primordial Canon, the Five Elements circulate, but according to one's own attribute, there is also a primary and secondary.

One element is primary, and four elements are secondary.

"Li Metal Seal Art!"

The Middle-aged Cultivator coldly shouted in his heart.

He formed a hand seal, and a golden profound seal appeared in the air.

It pressed down towards the incoming chains.

Buzz~

The golden seal collided with the chains, but only for a moment.

The golden seal began to tremble, on the verge of collapsing.

"It's like this again... being suppressed..."

The Middle-aged Cultivator's heart sank.

He had clashed with these people during his escape.

The cultivation methods practiced by these Earth King Palace members seemed to specifically counter the Five Elements Primordial Canon passed down in his clan.

Not to mention, he was alone.

Bang!

In just a moment.

The golden seal shattered, and the chains continued unabated, still locking onto the Middle-aged Cultivator.

The Middle-aged Cultivator's expression turned fierce; seeing that he was no match, he did not flee.

He still maintained the appearance of fighting to the death.

Buzz~

Just as the chains broke through layers of barriers and were about to bind the Middle-aged Cultivator.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Middle-aged Cultivator.

"Senior."

The Middle-aged Cultivator was overjoyed and saluted the suddenly appearing figure.

If it weren't for this Senior's instructions, he would definitely not have left Xuantu City easily.

"Oh?"

"Destroyed King's Ruin..."

Seeing the suddenly appearing figure.

The black-robed figure leading the group opposite spoke with a hint of surprise.

"Destroyed King's Ruin, merely remnants. Is this your confidence...?"

"Heh heh..."

The leading black-robed Cultivator sneered.

These remnants were indeed persistent in their pursuit.

"Go."

The figure who appeared in front of the Middle-aged Cultivator waved his hand, deflecting the several chains, glanced at the black-robed figures, and then let out a low shout to the Middle-aged Cultivator behind him, a spirit talisman appearing in his hand.

Boom!

The spirit talisman flew out and exploded with a roar.

The intense Spiritual Qi fluctuations momentarily halted the several figures.

"Hmph."

"Trying to spy on us..."

"Chase!"

Opposite, the leading black-robed figure snorted coldly, swayed, and chased after the two fleeing figures.

These remnants of the Destroyed King's Ruin only showed themselves at the very end, merely wanting to use that person to spy on the Palace's methods.

Several black-robed figures followed closely, and in a flash, they had already left the area.

Some time later.

In the distance, in the shadows.

Zhou Tailai's heart stirred.

"Earth King Palace... Destroyed King's Ruin..."

"Five Elements Primordial Canon..."

"Is this Earth King Palace hunting down Legacy factions that possess the Five Elements Primordial Canon...?"

Zhou Tailai did not follow further.

From the brief exchange, much could already be inferred.

The fundamental cultivation method of the person who appeared last was also the Five Elements Primordial Canon.

"Earth King Palace..."

The name echoed in Zhou Tailai's heart.

A hazy light was about to flow in his eyes.

But the moment the light appeared in his eyes, it dissipated again.

"As expected, I cannot divine it..."

Zhou Tailai sighed softly.

He had only just tested it slightly, and a sense of impending disaster appeared.

This indicated that the Earth King Palace was not something he could casually spy on in his current state.

"The situation here is unclear. It would be better to report to the clan and let them pay attention to it."

After a moment of thought.

Zhou Tailai's mind was made up.

Without making any further moves, he quietly concealed his tracks and returned to Xuantu City... Several days later.

Inside a secret chamber in Xuantu City.

Zhou Tailai, who was sitting cross-legged, awoke from his cultivation.

He stretched out his hand, and a palm-sized token appeared in his grasp.

A slight vibration came from the token.

"Senior Zhao has arrived."

Zhou Tailai understood in his heart.

His figure flickered, and he left the secret chamber.

Outside Xuantu City.

As Zhou Tailai's figure appeared.

He saw a hundred-zhang-sized round Magic Treasure, covered with profound patterns, emerge from the clouds.

An ancient figure sat cross-legged upon it.

So much importance... Zhou Tailai muttered in his heart. The person who arrived was none other than the Void Refining realm mighty expert who had previously appeared in the ancient capital with Zhao Wuming.

"Senior Zhao."

Zhou Tailai flew up, arrived before the round disk, and bowed to the ancient figure sitting cross-legged upon it.

"Young friend, we meet again."

The ancient figure smiled slightly and helped Zhou Tailai up.

Zhou Tailai wanted to say something, but he was stopped by this Old Ancestor Zhao.

"Young friend, hold on tight."

Old Ancestor Zhao gently reminded him.

The profound round disk vibrated.

It transformed into nothingness, merged into the Void Realm, and disappeared outside Xuantu City.

In the Void Realm, light streaked across, instantly covering an unknown number of miles.

After an unknown amount of time.

Buzz~

The round disk vibrated.

Zhou Tailai's heart stirred, and he saw a ray of light pierce into his vision.

As the light dissipated.

Before his eyes, a winding, surging river had already appeared.

The long river stretched out, and beside it, one spiritual mountain after another was situated.

"Is this the Luo River...?"

Zhou Tailai's heart stirred.

This winding river was vast and long, truly magnificent.

"Barrier..."

Zhou Tailai looked up.

The Luo River was boundless, and spiritual mountains stood tall.

However, the fortune in this space seemed to be an independent existence.

This meant that this place was an independent barrier that had been separated.

The round disk vibrated and descended onto the highest spiritual mountain.

"Zhao Wuming."

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhou Tailai's face.

As the round disk descended, someone was already waiting there.

Zhou Tailai followed behind Old Ancestor Zhao and landed in front of the handsome figure waiting there.

This figure had delicate features but lifeless eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Wuming."

Zhou Tailai chuckled and bowed with cupped hands.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Old Ancestor has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

Zhao Wuming bowed to Old Ancestor Zhao, then looked towards Zhou Tailai.

"Thank you."

Zhou Tailai nodded and followed behind Zhao Wuming.

The two, one in front and one behind, walked step by step, disappearing from Old Ancestor Zhao's sight.

Old Ancestor Zhao did not linger, taking a step and leaving the place.

"Another barrier..."

Zhou Tailai raised his eyebrows slightly.

But he said nothing.

After walking for a short while, the two arrived before an ancient Immortal Cave.

At this time, the Immortal Cave's door was already wide open.

The two continued their steps.

Entering the Immortal Cave.

They saw an ordinary figure, appearing both middle-aged and ancient, sitting cross-legged.

"Dao Monarch."

Zhou Tailai's heart stirred, and he bowed.

"Young friend, Wuming, sit."
