After bringing Qin Xin to the main peak of Kunmen, Rong Ling left in a flash.
I don't know if it's because they're wary of the black patterns, or because they're worried about being forced to cultivate by the Grand Elder.
However, Rong Ling's current strictness towards Lin Langtian is likely related to the special training he received from the Grand Elder.
After agreeing to the Elder's request, Qin Xin began to explore the surrounding area.
The Grand Elder and the others focused their minds to suppress the spread of the black patterns, thus preventing Qin Xin from being harmed while dealing with them.
Because of his spiritual awareness, Qin Xin quickly surveyed his surroundings and found the source of the spreading black patterns.
"Stone tablet!"
When Qin Xin arrived at the stone tablet, he had unexpectedly obtained the Fire God Crystal from it when he first entered the summit of the Kunmen main peak. After being absorbed by the Spirit Devouring Stone, some of the cultivation inheritances of the Supreme Derivation Technique were also fully unfolded.
However, in Qin Xin's memory, after the Vulcan Crystal was taken out, the stone tablet was cracked, and black patterns began to spread.
However, Qin Xin's strength was still somewhat weak at the time, and he dared not approach this thing at all, so he did not pay much attention to it.
After discovering that the stone tablet had suddenly healed, Qin Xin didn't have time to investigate what had happened.
Qin Xin now guessed that there was something beneath the stone tablet, whose black lines extending outwards from it had been suppressed by the Fire God Crystal, preventing them from spreading further.
Qin Xin did not hesitate at all. Since this stone tablet was the source, destroying it again would allow him to understand what was going on.
With a thought, Qin Xin immediately activated the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern. As the Martial Spirit circulated, blue flames rose from Qin Xin's fist.
Upon seeing the flame in Qin Xin's hand, the First Elder and the other elders were slightly surprised, as they could feel the terrifying temperature emanating from the strange fire.
Although they had some other thoughts in their minds, they immediately dismissed them. To try to devour the strange fire would be tantamount to risking their lives, so they naturally wouldn't take that risk.
"Blazing Fist!"
To avoid causing excessive damage to the surrounding area, Qin Xin also used a less powerful mid-level Xuan-rank martial art.
Even so, the moment the fist, radiating blue flames, slammed into the stone tablet, the flames spread outwards like a tide.
The black patterns that came into contact with this strange fire instantly began to dissipate and evaporate.
Seeing that the strange fire could indeed remove the black patterns, the elders' eyes revealed some joy, mainly because they had only guessed before and had not found a solution.
"boom!"
A loud noise followed.
The stone tablet, entwined with black patterns, shattered into pieces and exploded outwards.
The black patterns on it were completely dissipated under the scorching of Qin Xin's Blue Rock Bone Fire.
"These black patterns seem to have some similarities with the Death Seal of Senluo, but they are not the same."
While observing these black patterns, Qin Xin also noticed something unusual.
In essence, these black patterns are no different from the Death Mark of Senluo.
However, the black patterns seem to be able to change the surrounding environment, while the Senluo Death Seal clings to the martial artist's body, devouring all of the martial artist's Yuan Power and life essence until the martial artist dies.
"Huh! What's this?"
After the stone tablet shattered, Qin discovered that there seemed to be a crack beneath it, and that there appeared to be a space within that crack.
Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to probe the location of the spatial rift, but found no further black patterns escaping, which made him uneasy.
Of course, the Grand Elder and the others were also surprised by this sudden spatial rift. It seemed that they did not know that such a thing existed on the main peak of Kunmen.
Staring at the spatial rift, Qin Xin felt a slight fluctuation in the Devouring Spirit Stone within his sea of consciousness, as if urging him to enter quickly.
Although Qin Xin was somewhat worried about the potential dangers of entering the rift, the intense sensation from the Spirit Devouring Stone prevented him from calming down.
After careful consideration, preparations were made to proceed.
Of course, since the Grand Elder had invited Qin Xin, he must have been concerned about his safety and had given him some very precious escape talismans.
With these things, Qin Xin felt more confident.
If there were dangers entering this spatial rift, he could easily hide in the fragmented map space. So, after bowing slightly to the Grand Elder, Qin Xin stepped into the rift.
…………
hiss!
After everything went black, what happened next shocked Qin Xin.
Through his spiritual sense, he could perceive that the space rift did not seem to be within the Tianxuan Continent. The place was desolate and devoid of any spiritual energy.
For a moment, Qin Xin even had the thought of leaving.
However, now that he was already inside, Qin Xin still wanted to go and take a look at the front.
"Huh? What is this place?" After Qin Xin entered this spatial rift, Dan Qing, who was always knowledgeable, also exclaimed in confusion, "There seems to be a powerful array separating us from the outside world. There is no spiritual energy of heaven and earth here at all."
The old man and the young man looked around as if they had discovered a new continent, but dared not touch it.
This place, whether it's the grass or the vegetation, is fundamentally different from the Tianxuan Continent; it seems like it's another world altogether.
After scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense, Qin Xin found a very large altar with countless skeletons on top of it.
Judging from their appearance, Qin Xin discovered that many of these skeletons belonged to human martial artists. Some of these skeletons were as white as jade, showing no signs of weathering even after countless years, indicating that they were all powerful individuals before their deaths.
Of course, there are also many skeletons that resemble humans, but these skeletons are much taller than humans, and many have long tailbones, which makes them look very strange.
Furthermore, these bones are covered with black patterns, as if they draw power from these patterns.
"Could the black patterns on the main peak of Kunmen be emanating from these bones?"
As Qin Xin thought to himself, he flicked his wrist, and the Blue Rock Bone Fire landed on those strange bones.
As the black patterns dissipated, the once-resilient bones instantly crumbled into ashes.
At the same time, the plants around the bones also underwent some changes, emanating a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
"Huh? That's strange."
After discovering these characteristics, Qin Xin became very enthusiastic and began to clean up the strange skeletons on the altar.
The altar, which had been shrouded in black patterns, finally revealed its true form.
The altar was extremely ancient, covered with countless black spots, seemingly formed over thousands of years from congealed blood.
As Qin Xin walked upwards along the altar, the scene that appeared before him made him gasp in astonishment.
