Ye Ling and Duan Yu arrived at the ruins of cultivation - an ancient building complex shrouded in misty purple air.
Before they could get close to the huge stone door carved with mysterious runes, an invisible force pushed them back.
"Oh shit!" Ye Ling staggered a few steps and was quickly caught by Duan Yu.
"What's going on? Even scammers can't do that fast!"
I saw an old man with a fairy-like appearance and white hair and beard standing in the air, followed by a group of young disciples, each of them with alert eyes, as if facing a great enemy.
This old man is none other than Elder Xuanqing, the guardian of the Xiuzhen ruins.
"Who are you, the villain, to dare to trespass into the ruins of cultivation!" Elder Xuanqing's voice was like a loud bell, making Ye Ling's ears buzz.
The surrounding disciples of cultivation took out their magical weapons one after another, looking as if they were ready to fight at any time.
The atmosphere was tense and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Ye Ling was secretly shocked. This scene was even more exaggerated than the finals of the Mecha King Challenge.
According to her previous temper, she would have started to argue long ago.
But facing these great masters of cultivation, she knew that there was no chance of success if she fought them head-on.
So she took a deep breath and unexpectedly bowed deeply to Elder Xuanqing.
"I am Ye Ling, a junior. I have long heard of the great name of Elder Xuanqing! I came here today not with the intention of offending you, but out of admiration for the culture of cultivation, and I hope to have a chance to see the magnificent ruins." Ye Ling's sudden respectful attitude stunned everyone present.
Elder Xuanqing stroked his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The surrounding disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. This script was wrong!
What about breaking in by force?
What about the three hundred rounds of battle?
A young cultivator, Lin Yu, couldn't help but mutter, "Elder, is this woman the champion of the Mecha King Challenge? She doesn't look very powerful..."
Elder Xuanqing ignored Lin Yu, but stared at Ye Ling with a sharp gaze, and slowly said: "Since you are a mecha warrior, how can you admire the culture of cultivation?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Elder, you are wrong..."
"Elder, you are wrong. Mechas and cultivation have the same goal, which is to pursue the ultimate power. We mecha warriors also yearn to explore the mysteries of the universe and protect our world. Now that the threat from the outer universe is approaching, shouldn't we put aside our prejudices and work together?" Ye Ling's impassioned speech made many of the cultivation disciples present nod secretly.
Lin Yu was even more moved by Ye Ling's sincerity, and stood up and said: "Elder, Miss Ye Ling is right. Instead of working in isolation, it is better to learn from others. Perhaps mechas and cultivation can really be combined to create a more powerful force!"
Elder Xuanqing's expression eased slightly, and he stroked his beard and pondered in silence.
At this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded: "Oh, what a joke! A crude thing like a mecha is worthy of being compared with my way of cultivation? It is simply a desecration of this sacred land!" The speaker was a young man in a gorgeous Taoist robe. He was Elder Xuanqing's eldest disciple - Senior Brother Zhou.
He has always been prejudiced against mecha warriors, believing them to be low-quality products of technology and unworthy of entering the realm of cultivation.
"Brother Zhou, you're wrong," Ye Ling retorted without hesitation. "Although mechas are the crystallization of technology, they also contain human wisdom and courage. We mecha warriors can also fight to protect the world, even at the cost of our lives!"
"Sweet words!" Senior Brother Zhou snorted coldly, "Your so-called protection is nothing but grandstanding! How can the power of a mecha compare to the strength of my cultivation?"
"Then let's have a fight?" Ye Ling raised his eyebrows provocatively, and the core of the mecha in his body resonated faintly.
The two sides were on the verge of a war.
Suddenly, the gate of the ruins flashed with dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave swept over.
Elder Xuanqing's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is... the guardian power of the ruins! It's... summoning?!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ling, even Ye Ling herself felt incredible.
This energy fluctuation seemed to resonate with the mecha core in her body.
Is it an opportunity or a new danger?
Ye Ling didn’t know, but she knew that she had to go in and find out!
Ye Ling took a deep breath, looked firmly at the glittering door, and took the first step...
"etc!"
