Hearing Lin Caogen say that, Gu Xun'er shook her head and said, "Brother Caogen, you're wrong to think that way! The Sword Sect Master is a steady and reliable person! He must have his reasons for sending us there! Besides, there are many opportunities in the Sacred Ruins! I heard from the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect that some people discovered the Chaos Ancient Tree in the Sacred Ruins during their previous trips there!"
Lin Caogen was stunned when he heard this!
"The Ancient Tree of Chaos!? What is that?"
Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "I also saw it in an ancient book! The Chaos Ancient Tree is a treasure from head to toe! It is one meter tall, and its leaves, trunk, and roots are all edible! After eating the Chaos Ancient Tree, it can not only replenish any element needed by the body, but also reshape the physical body and strengthen the soul! However, the Chaos Ancient Tree is guarded by powerful demonic beasts. Last time, the Spirit Sword Sect only managed to collect a few leaves from the Chaos Ancient Tree, and one person died in the Sacred Ruins!"
Lin Caogen said, "Even the Sword Sect Master, with his immense strength, couldn't drive away the demonic beasts guarding the Chaos Ancient Tree, let alone us! Sigh! Forget it! Let's just grit our teeth and charge forward!"
Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "Brother Lin! No matter what, I will be with you!"
After seven days of rest, the three major sects, Lingjian Sect, Tangjia Valley, and Putuo Mountain, are finally going to set off for the Holy Ruins!
It took thirty people three whole months to reach their destination using a space-flying magical artifact!
Looking at everything before him, Lin Caogen fell into deep thought.
Before me stretched a vast Gobi Desert, some areas completely covered in yellow sand. This scene bore a striking resemblance to the ancient city of Loulan on Earth!
Looking at an abandoned palace not far away, Lin Caogen couldn't help but ask, "Is that the Sacred Ruins ahead?"
Liu Yingying explained, "That's right! Don't think that the Sacred Ruins are only a hundred meters in length and width in front of you! There's actually more space inside! You'll see once you go in!"
Thirty people slowly approached the main gate of the Sacred Ruins Palace! At this moment, an old man in tattered clothes, leaning on a cane, spoke up: "Thirty years! Sword Thirteen! You've come again with people?"
Seeing this ragged old man in front of me!
Jian Shisan bowed deeply to him!
Lin Caogen was taken aback and couldn't help but whisper to Liu Yingying, "Who is this?"
Liu Yingying whispered, "This person is named Yue Yun, and he is the guardian of the Sacred Ruins! He is at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and it is said that the saints who once lived in the Sacred Ruins were his ancestors!"
Lin Caogen was greatly surprised! He never expected that the saint who fell in the Sacred Ruins would still have descendants alive!
Seeing Jian Shisan chatting with the ragged Yue Yun, Lin Caogen couldn't help but ask Liu Yingying, "Since he is a descendant of a fallen saint, why does he allow others to enter the Sacred Ruins?"
Liu Yingying said, "That was his ancestor's dying wish! It is said that his ancestor was at the peak of the Immortal Saint realm, but his combat power was invincible. Even the ten Immortal Emperors combined were no match for him! In the end, he severely injured the gods in the war of destruction, helping his friend Shi Benzun to obtain the divine title and achieve the body of a true god, while he himself perished!"
"What?" Lin Caogen was completely stunned!
"A mere 9-star Immortal Saint can be invincible? That's ridiculous!"
Liu Yingying said, "What do you know! I heard that this saint also had a fortuitous encounter in his early years and obtained a mysterious mantra on the Immortal Gang Continent! I don't know much about that thing either. It is said that it was left behind by a great god on the Immortal Gang Continent billions of years ago! Now, although this saint has perished, he is looking for his successor to inherit the treasure he once obtained called the mantra!"
Lin Caogen sighed deeply and said, "This place has truly witnessed the vicissitudes of time! In the past, he was invincible under heaven with his nine-star Immortal Saint rank! How magnificent! What a pity! What a lament!"
At this moment, Jian Shisan had finished negotiating with Yue Yun, who was dressed in rags and leaning on a cane!
Yue Yun stepped aside, clearing the way to the Sacred Ruins!
Jian Shisan gave a wink, and the others quickly followed behind!
All that could be heard was the creaking sound of the ten-meter-high bronze gate of the Sacred Ruins opening!
Lin Caogen slowly stepped onto the ancient steps and entered the gate of the Sacred Ruins!
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared before my eyes!
Lin Caogen closed his eyes and then opened them again! Where was the Gobi Desert? What came into view was a beautiful primeval forest with clear waters and lush mountains!
Lin Caogen took a deep breath of fresh air and felt refreshed!
Jian Shisan pointed ahead and said, "Go in this direction for 100 kilometers, and you'll reach the center of the Sacred Ruins! There's a grand hall there, where the remains of saints are buried! However, there are at least 10,000 kinds of immortal beasts within the Sacred Ruins, ranging from first to ninth rank! Even Valley Master Tang, Sect Leader Guan, and I can barely handle seventh-rank immortal beasts. If we encounter eighth or even ninth-rank immortal beasts, we'll surely die! So, you absolutely must not go to the center of the Sacred Ruins!"
Jian Shisan glanced at Lin Caogen and said, "Young friend Lin! After the Holy Ruins opens, you can stay inside for 180 days! That is, half a year! When the time is up, this space will automatically teleport the living people inside to the outside of the Holy Ruins! Now you, your lovers, and Lingchong have all entered the Holy Ruins! Let's split up and take action! I also wish you a speedy growth!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Caogen was completely dumbfounded!
Liu Yingying was also stunned! "Master! Letting them act alone is tantamount to suicide! What if a seventh-tier immortal beast encounters them? They'll be devoured like meat buns!"
Lin Caogen was also wondering to himself! The Sword Sect Master is giving me way too much credit!
Jian Shisan laughed and said, "It's alright! Everyone has their own opportunities and luck! Young friend Lin! Here's a jade pendant for you! If you encounter danger, just crush the jade pendant, and someone will come to your rescue!"
Lin Caogen took the jade pendant and saw that it was engraved with a five-colored ox!
"Sword Sect Master! What is this jade token for?"
Jian Shisan laughed and said, "This is a spatial teleportation jade. Once crushed, it will create a one-way spatial tunnel! You can rest assured. If you encounter a normal accident, you don't need to crush this jade. But if you face a life-or-death crisis, don't hesitate! I guarantee you'll have a safe journey with this jade!"
