With this unexpected turn of events, everyone is on high alert.
Next, they encountered various traps and mechanisms in the ruins, but these people were well-trained experts, and with Zhao Ruizhi in charge, they quickly got through them without any real danger.
Finally, the group arrived at the empty hall and found some things, but these things were completely useless to Zhao Ruizhi.
Having found no clues related to immortality, Zhao Ruizhi was already irritable. Then, seeing the green cloud above his head, he felt a surge of anger for no reason.
Although He Li said he didn't see any greenery, he was still confused.
So he simply looked up and struck with his palm, shattering the greenish stone slab in the sky, and then a lot of quicksand rushed down.
The people in the hall hurriedly dodged, and just then, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, there's a stone tablet!"
Zhao Ruizhi also noticed that the huge stone tablet had fallen with the quicksand. He flashed and appeared next to the stone tablet, while the quicksand falling from above was blocked by an invisible force.
He glanced at He Li and said, "Go and plug the hole."
If left unattended, this great hall could very well be filled with quicksand.
He Li looked frustrated. "You made me plug the hole in the machine gun. Why am I so unlucky?"
However, he dared not complain at all. He hurriedly flew to the top of the hole, pressed his back against the hole, and stuck his limbs tightly to the ceiling, using his body to block the quicksand.
Endless quicksand poured down, and the immense pressure was almost unbearable even for someone with his peak ninth-rank cultivation. He could only pray that the emperor would resolve the situation quickly so that everyone could evacuate.
At this moment, Zhao Ruizhi was looking at the stone tablet in front of him. He didn't know what material the stone tablet was made of. It was green all over, and many of the inscriptions on the front and back were blurred and could not be seen. Only a few sentences remained.
The characters were extremely strange, but Zhao Ruizhi, being a learned man, had seen similar characters in some ancient classics.
He slowly recited: "...I ride the dark clouds, opening wide the heavenly gates; the sun returns to the golden palace, the Southern Star revolves around the Jade Balance; the canopy ascends to the purple palace, elegant music enters Zheng; who can decipher this, and receive eternal life from the moment they are born..."
"Immortality!" Upon seeing the last two words, his breathing became rapid.
