Chapter Twenty-Three Entering the Ancient Ruins

  The ancient relic opened, but no one made a move, each standing in place with solemn faces.

  This trip will have endless risks, and no one knows how powerful the indigenous people inside are. More than 200 years of Shi Huang entering it did not obtain the divine fruit, can they? In the ancient ruins of more than 200 years, how strong will those indigenous people be?

  "Even if you become stronger, it's nothing more than the initial sensation of the 72 acupoints!"

  One of them let out a cold snort, seemingly displeased with his own cowardly psychology, and he was the first to jump into the passage, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

  The first person made a move, and soon many others followed! Some people hesitated at first, but then thought of the endless benefits in the ancient relics, and eventually greed overcame reason, gritted their teeth and also jumped in.

  "Senior!"

  "Master!"

  The three of them bowed to Jiang Xiaoyu, who smiled and said, "Go! Train hard, but remember one thing: no matter how good something is, you can only enjoy it if you're still alive."

  "I humbly follow the teachings of my predecessors!"

  "Go!" Jiang Xiaoyu casually waved his hand.

  The three of them nodded firmly and followed the crowd into the passage. Among them were some strong Cloud Ascension Realm cultivators, and even some who had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm! They couldn't resist the ancient relic's temptation and all wanted to go in and try their luck.

  The ancient castle has long been circulating in the world, how can they not be moved today? If you get a chance to defy the sky, from now on, it's possible to step into the sky and set foot on a wide road!

  This drew everyone's attention to the ancient trail, and Jiang Xiaoyu took the opportunity to find a sheltered place, where he then used his disguise technique. Half an incense stick later, he slowly walked out, without anyone noticing him.

  At this moment, he had changed his appearance and become a dark-skinned big man. Even if Qin Feng stood in front of him, he couldn't recognize that it was his own master. Following the crowd, Jiang Xiaoyu also stepped into the passage.

  As soon as he entered the passage, the surrounding view became blurry, and his own eyes were not a problem, it was this passage that was strange. He stood still on the spot, but his body kept moving, and no one could be seen around him.

  Jiang Xiaoyu was not surprised at all, he can be said to be full of confidence now, and entering it he has no fear of anything!

  Others are the same, after entering the channel, people who were originally together suddenly disappeared, some were flustered and lost, while others were very calm. If I'm not mistaken, this is a large transmission channel that was just opened.

  Once inside the ancient ruins, everyone arrives at a location within the ruins. It's possible to run into acquaintances, but also possible to encounter enemies. The greatest possibility is being alone.

  The last one is the most dangerous! If you encounter indigenous people, one person is very unsafe. It's even possible to be transported to some dangerous places in ancient ruins, which are unpredictable.

  Some timid people tend to think too much and the more they think, the more afraid they become.

  After about half a stick of incense, the scenery around Jiang Xiaoyu finally changed. A bright spot appeared in front of him, and this spot burst out continuously, getting bigger and bigger! In the end, it turned into a ball of light, which was particularly dazzling. His eyes narrowed involuntarily, and eventually he couldn't even open them.

  Suddenly, I felt my feet touching the ground. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dense forest. The surroundings were very quiet, with only a few birds chirping faintly in the distance. The air was crisp and smelled refreshing.

  In such a peaceful environment, Jiang Xiaoyu did not relax, but instead carefully observed his surroundings. After a while, he finally let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that his luck was not bad. But what about the others?

  As for the sudden transmission of this thing, Jiang Xiaoyu had never heard of it. Naturally, he also wouldn't know why only he was alone. He didn't think about it either, since he came in, then he should make a big sweep!

  "System Prompt: Ruins task is in progress. Temporarily obtain system space, can load items. If not completed, the space will be retrieved. Note: This opportunity only comes once."

  Upon hearing this hint, Jiang Xiaoyu's heart suddenly leapt with joy. System space! After opening the system, he quickly saw that in a certain place there was a vast expanse of space that seemed to have no end!

  This has just come in and given me a reward, the system is too powerful! Jiang Xiaoyu looked at such a large space, her eyes shining. I remember Qin Feng telling myself that there is something called Qiankun Bag, which contains a small piece of space inside, can be used to load things.

  But that thing, even the lowest grade, costs a lot of money, at least 100,000 spirit stones! And the space is small, probably only about 20 square meters. But looking at my own space now, 20 square meters? It's not even less than 2,000 square meters!

  Only strong practitioners of the Divine Bridge realm can refine the Qian Kun bag, and the size of the space inside the Qian Kun bag is entirely determined by the practitioner's realm. There are some storage spaces that have been passed down from ancient times, with a large and frightening space, but such things are too rare, so the Qian Kun bag is still the mainstream.

  He pulled out a cloth bag from his clothes, and Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh: "I originally prepared another bag to pack things, now it seems completely unnecessary!" As he said that, he directly threw the cloth bag into the system space.

  ……

  ……

  There are a lot of people entering the ancient relic, at least around 5,000! However, the space within the ancient relic is not small either. With so many people entering, it's rare for them to be teleported together. Due to the large number of people, spatial fluctuations keep appearing in the ancient relic...

  The ancient relic forms a world of its own, with mountains, water, and trees... As for the natives, they live in caves, their attire is not much different from outsiders, only that each person's skin has a yellowish tint.

  "It's... someone from outside has broken in!"

  "The fluctuations in space are so frequent, there must be a lot of people coming in this time, conservatively over 5,000!"

  "More than two hundred years ago, a man came in, thanks to the Lord's intervention, he was repelled. But if today the Lord closes the door and doesn't come out, what shall we do if another pervert emerges from among these people?"

  Some indigenous elders gathered together, discussing countermeasures. After more than 200 years, they didn't expect outsiders to come and disturb their land again. Thinking of the divine capital of the person from over 200 years ago, they all felt uneasy.

  "Don't worry, I think that person is an extremely strong existence even in the outside world. Otherwise, if everyone in the outside world was this strong, they would be on par with the mythological era!"

  After hearing this, the group of people felt much more at ease. The man from over two hundred years ago that they had been talking about was naturally Shi Huang. It's just that no one knew what he had done in those ancient ruins to make these locals so fearful.

  "Unfortunately, we are suppressed by the heavens and the earth. Although our realm is incredibly powerful and can even rival the external world's Dragon Transformation, or even the Divine Bridge Sect's cultivation... it all stops at the initial stage of enlightenment..."

  "No big deal, this group of people isn't as powerful as that person from back then, and we're not outnumbered either. The 72 holes' young masters are also countless! In a battle against external cultivators, our chances of winning are still quite high!"

  "If God had struck him down back then, there wouldn't be so much trouble today."

  Everyone sighed at this point. The Tianzhu covered the world, but unfortunately, it was also suppressed by this piece of heaven and earth, and its strength could not be fully displayed. Otherwise, in those years, they would have been able to kill that person!

  "The order has been passed down, the enemy is approaching from outside, you men prepare for battle!"

  They have lived in ancient ruins since ancient times. This land has countless natural resources and has given birth to many talents. Unfortunately, their population is limited, and now the total number of men, women, old and young together has just exceeded 10,000 people.

  Among them, only more than 6,000 people can fight. The boundary is suppressed, and the lifespan naturally cannot go up. In this world, although they have no disputes with the world, they can only live for a hundred years. However, their Lord used a method that surpassed the ages to live until now.

  Such a character is no less than Shi Huang and others. If he were to go to the outside world, his realm would no longer be restricted, and it's likely that another great cultivation holy land would appear in the world!

  The natives are fully prepared for battle, in their eyes, outsiders are just robbers! Invading this small world of theirs, no matter what, they must be driven out. The best resources and land are reserved for them to give birth to future generations, and absolutely cannot be tainted by these outsiders!

  Everyone from the outside world is cautious when they enter here, they are different from the indigenous people, and there is no such thing as boundary pressure in the outside world. Generally, condensing forty acupoints can cross into the next boundary, unless it's a truly talented person who forcibly opens up more acupoints, ordinary people usually choose to advance directly.

  So, in the outside world, people with 72 acupoints are very rare, and more importantly, they don't have many methods to open these acupoints. However, this group of indigenous people has passed down from ancient times a few methods to open the 72 acupoints, although not many, but absolutely exist! They unite as one, with the Heavenly Lord as their master, and do not attach too much importance to differences in sects like the outside world does.

  Moreover, more than two hundred years ago, due to Shi Huang's entry into this realm, the Heavenly Lord felt uneasy and thus issued a divine decree, ordering the indigenous people to intensify their cultivation. This was something that even Shi Huang had not anticipated, and after more than two hundred years, many young people with seventy-two acupoints appeared among the indigenous people.

  This time Jiang Xiaoyu and others entered the ancient ruins, the danger level completely exceeded their previous expectations!

  ……

  ……

  Both sides started taking action, some people were luckier and found many precious medicinal herbs soon after entering. Some people, however, searched for half a day without finding anything. As for Jiang Xiaoyu, he was now having a severe headache...

  In front of him was a spiritual and astonishing medicinal herb. Although he didn't know what it was, it must be something good! However, apart from that medicinal herb, there was also someone beside it.

  Both of them were cautiously watching each other, if either of them made a move to pick this herb, they would definitely be attacked by the other.

  For a time, both sides were deadlocked here.

  "Holy crap, it's a UFO!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly pointed and looked, the young man's face changed slightly, he was really surprised, because he had no idea what UFO was, and Jiang Xiaoyu's expression was so exaggerated, so he slightly turned his head.

  Seizing this opportunity, Jiang Xiaoyu took a step forward and threw out a punch!

  ————

  The update is really disappointing, I can't bear to look at it anymore...

  But brothers, I really tried my best! If I can do more, I definitely won't be perfunctory! Hold on a little longer, starting from the 30th of this month, I'll try to update twice a day!
