Inside the ancient ruins.
In the heart of the vast mountains and forests, there lies a broad basin, upon which stands a city. This city is incredibly vast, stretching for hundreds or even thousands of miles at a glance.
Although it is unknown how many years have passed, this ancient city still stands intact between heaven and earth, preserving its original appearance.
However, as time goes by, the ancient city remains shrouded in a veil of wilderness.
Whoosh whoosh...
High above, four figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars, stopping mid-air outside the ancient city. The newcomers were Lin Xuan and his companions; this was their fifteenth day in the ancient ruins. Thanks to Lin Xuan's spiritual eyes and divine vision, the four of them had reaped considerable rewards in the past two weeks.
Putting aside everything else, there were no fewer than ten innate spiritual roots, as well as a number of innate spiritual objects and rare natural treasures. As for innate precious herbs and spiritual materials, they were countless. At first, Lin Xuan and his companions would pick some spiritual herbs and precious herbs, but later they became completely numb to it.
They wouldn't even bother picking low-grade innate treasures; they'd only allow them to harvest mid-grade or even high-grade ones.
In fifteen days, the four of them acquired a mountain of resources.
They searched all the way, heading in the same direction, and finally arrived at the ancient city. In fact, Lin Xuan had already explored the entire ancient ruins with his spiritual eyes when he entered them earlier.
This ancient city before us is the only city among all the ancient ruins.
If there are any secrets or great opportunities hidden within these ancient ruins, they are most likely within this ancient city.
Logically speaking, when Lin Xuan discovered this ancient city, he should have rushed over as quickly as possible. However, contrary to his usual behavior, he not only did not rush on his way, but instead slowed down and led Yan Ping and the other two to search for all kinds of rare and precious materials all over the world, but did not come to the ancient city.
And so, it was delayed for half a month.
In fact, it wasn't that Lin Xuan was unwilling to come to the ancient city, but rather that he knew very well that the time was not yet right.
The entire ancient city was enveloped by an enormous array, which exuded a powerful aura that even Lin Xuan could not predict. However, this array was gradually weakening over time.
Lin Xuan had estimated that the entire formation would completely dissipate in about half a month.
Perhaps, that will be the time when the ancient city truly comes into being.
So Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He took Yan Ping and the other two for a leisurely stroll, waiting for half a month before finally reaching the outskirts of the ancient city. All of this was planned by Lin Xuan long ago, and every step was within his expectations.
"What a magnificent ancient city! We've been wandering through these ruins for half a month, and this must be the first city we've encountered!"
Yan Ping looked down at the ancient city and said in a deep voice, "This ancient city is obviously not simple, and it seems that no one has come here yet. We are the first batch, and we may have a great harvest."
“In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry into the city!” Li Jifeng said immediately.
"Don't rush, didn't you see that Junior Brother Lin hasn't said anything? What's the hurry?"
Xu Ningshuang smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "Junior Brother Lin, is there any danger in this ancient city?"
"There are certainly dangers, it just depends on whether they are within our control."
Lin Xuan chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, and two mysterious runes faintly appeared. This was because of the operation of his Spirit Eyes and Divine Eyes. From the moment he arrived, he had been carefully exploring the entire ancient city with his Spirit Eyes and Divine Eyes.
Although it only took a short time, he had already gained a general understanding of the ancient city.
The ancient city was indeed extraordinary. The entire city was a massive ancient formation, and within it were countless other formations and restrictions, independent of each other yet influencing one another. Currently, no one was entering the city, so everything was peaceful. However, once someone broke in, all the formations and restrictions would be activated.
The ancient city will be transformed into an independent derivative world, fraught with danger at every turn.
"Junior Brother Lin, should we advance or retreat?"
Xu Ningshuang continued, "This ancient city is so big, it's very easy to spot. I'm afraid the others will arrive soon. If we want to enter the city, we need to hurry..."
"Of course we're going into the city!"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly and chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, the greatest opportunity in the ancient ruins lies within this city. If we don't go in, wouldn't it be a wasted trip? As for the others, there's no need to worry."
Didn't you notice anything unusual when I brought you here?
"abnormal?"
Yan Ping and Li Jifeng frowned immediately. To be honest, they hadn't noticed anything unusual. They racked their brains, trying to recall what was amiss during their flight.
Just then, Xu Ningshuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in a deep voice, "It's space. When we came here, we passed through an area where the space was unstable, as if time and space were distorted."
We passed through that area in the blink of an eye, so we didn't pay much attention at the time. Looking back now, those spatial fluctuations were probably a derivative realm of a large array!
It was that derivative realm that distorted spacetime, isolating this ancient city.
"That's why the others who came in before us didn't discover the existence of this ancient city, isn't that right, Junior Brother Lin..."
"Xu Shijie is indeed very meticulous. You're right, we have indeed entered a derivative world."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's not accurate to call it a derivative world. It's more like a special area where space is distorted and overlapping. If you don't have some cultivation, it's very difficult for ordinary people to discover it."
If I'm not mistaken, this special area exists because of the city.
This alone can eliminate a lot of people, so we still have plenty of time, but just in case, we should get into the city as soon as possible.
However, once we enter the city, my three senior brothers and sisters would be best to obey my orders and not act rashly. The entire city is a large array, and within that array are countless independent arrays and restrictions, making it a place fraught with danger at every turn. One wrong step and you will be doomed.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that even a Great Immortal could perish here if he's not careful.
"hiss……"
Yan Ping and the other two immediately changed their expressions, their minds tensing up. They knew this ancient city was extraordinary, but they never expected it to be so dangerous that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could perish here.
Instantly, all three of them felt a chill run through their bodies and couldn't help but gasp.
He then looked at Lin Xuan and said solemnly, "Junior Brother Lin, the three of us will follow your lead. Whatever you say, we will do without hesitation..."
