The Qingyun Sect was incredibly quiet at this moment, and everything around looked brand new, as if people had lived there not long ago.
Inside, Xiao Chen's expression was extremely solemn, and his body was tense to the extreme. He needed to be extra cautious when facing this ancient sect, because he didn't know what might be inside.
After a while, Xiao Chen finally confirmed that there was no one inside at all, as if all traces of life had disappeared.
"This place has been abandoned for at least 100,000 years."
After confirming that it was safe, Xiao Chen looked around at everything with a serious expression, and after sensing it for a while, he said in a somewhat shocked tone.
After all, even a cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage only has a lifespan of 100,000 years, while the Qingyun Sect has existed for over 100,000 years.
"Since there's no one here, let's go inside and see why the Qingyun Sect was destroyed. After all, such a large sect couldn't have been destroyed for no reason."
Xiao Chen wandered around the Qingyun Sect and soon found a cultivation technique pavilion. As a cultivation technique pavilion of the Qingyun Sect, it naturally had protective measures. It was a genuine high-grade Heaven-rank spirit array that could block the invasion of cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage.
This shows just how powerful the Qingyun Sect was before it was destroyed. At the same time, Xiao Chen felt increasingly afraid. If such a powerful sect as the Qingyun Sect was destroyed, would he be able to put up a fight if he encountered the one who destroyed the Qingyun Sect?
Indeed, in Xiao Chen's eyes, the destruction of the Qingyun Sect was not due to the environment at all. After all, the great formation was still open, and the spiritual energy was so abundant, so it could not possibly be due to the environment.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: the Qingyun Sect encountered some strange and powerful being, and was wiped out without even being able to put up a fight, since there was not a trace of battle within the Qingyun Sect.
Of course, there is another possibility: the powerful members of the Qingyun Sect led their disciples to relocate the entire sect.
However, Xiao Chen ruled this out. If the entire sect were to relocate, how could they possibly still activate the sect-protecting formation?
"The problem is how to get into the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion now. But according to the memories the Ancestor gave me, as long as I have a disciple's identity token, I should be able to enter the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion."
Xiao Chen thought to himself that the inheritance given to him by his ancestor contained all the common knowledge in the cultivation world, so he continued to search in the Qingyun Sect according to his ancestor's memories.
However, they still couldn't find the disciple's identity token. But that makes sense, since the identity token is a symbol of identity, so how could it be easily discarded? It's usually carried with one's person at all times.
"Are we going to return empty-handed?"
Xiao Chen thought somewhat unwillingly, after all, it concerned his future, so he definitely had to find out the truth.
But at that moment, Xiao Chen felt a slight vibration coming from his storage ring. When Xiao Chen checked the storage ring, he found that a token inside was emitting a golden light.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Chen took out the token.
The moment the token appeared, an extremely powerful force erupted from it, immediately opening a gap in the great formation protecting the cultivation technique pavilion in front of them.
"Ancestor, could it be that you have some connection with the Qingyun Sect?"
Xiao Chen thought with some surprise, but it didn't seem strange. After all, the ancestor was a super big shot at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so it was reasonable for him to have some connection with the Qingyun Sect.
It's quite reasonable for the Qingyun Sect to give its ancestor an identity token, right? Maybe its ancestor is even an honorary guest elder of the Qingyun Sect.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and then went directly into the cultivation technique pavilion.
Upon entering the cultivation technique pavilion, Xiao Chen was greeted by a four-story structure. On the first floor, he sensed that the techniques were of the Yellow Rank, while on the second floor, they were of the Profound Rank.
It seems that the third and fourth levels correspond to Earth-rank and Heaven-rank cultivation techniques.
Xiao Chen naturally didn't want to use these cultivation techniques, since he already had his ancestor's techniques, which were practically tailor-made for him, so there was no need to change them.
"If I have the ancestor's identity token, then logically I should be able to move freely within the Qingyun Sect. So I'll continue to explore within the Qingyun Sect."
Xiao Chen had a feeling that there might still be some remaining sect treasures in the Qingyun Sect. Considering that the Qingyun Sect has Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, and not just a few, if the sect treasures of the Qingyun Sect are still there, the resources inside might be enough for him to break through to the Great Ascension stage!
With this in mind, Xiao Chen's exploration speed increased significantly.
Soon, Xiao Chen finally found a room protected by a terrifying array in the main hall of the sect. Presumably, it was the treasure of the Qingyun Sect inside!
