"Is this... the legacy of ancient ruins?"
Lin Chen looked up at the sky, where the extraordinary phenomenon indeed signaled the opening of the ruins.
And judging by the scale of it, this was definitely an ancient ruin. If one could obtain some legacy within, they would inevitably become a powerhouse.
Shock was written all over the faces of both Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing as they quickly took out their communication jade slips to report this news to their sect.
The anomaly in the sky reached tens of thousands of feet high and spanned hundreds of miles. Such a spectacular sight would be hard for the entire Great Flame Dynasty to ignore.
From the current situation, the ruin was at least left by someone of the Nirvana Mirror realm. In today’s Great Flame Dynasty, such powerhouses are extremely rare, with scarcely one or two to be found.
If one could obtain some legacy or treasures within this ruin, they would at least become a Heavenly Human realm powerhouse in the future.
Lin Chen felt a surge of excitement because as soon as the ruin appeared, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron within his Soul Sea was stirred, as if it was very interested in this ruin.
Just as Lin Chen wanted to ponder the matter carefully, he suddenly felt a massive force emitting from the stone wall before them, sucking both him and Zhao Yijing in.
The location of the ruins had appeared within the domain of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
At this moment, Yang Yuemin, after receiving the message from Zhao Yijing and Lin Chen, immediately reported the matter to Sect Leader Xu Ma’an.
Sect Leader Xu was overjoyed and, together with the various peak masters, hurried towards the location of the ruins.
The attack from the Black Cloud Sect had ended a few days ago. Although the Eight Great Elders of the Black Cloud Sect were powerful, they ultimately were no match for the combined forces of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s peak masters.
Not only did they fail to take down the Jade Cauldron Sect, but they were also severely injured and had to flee desperately.
However, as the Eight Great Elders of the Black Cloud Sect fled, they left a grim promise that the next time they came to the Jade Cauldron Sect, they would annihilate it.
We of the Jade Cauldron Sect did not take this seriously, but Yang Yuemin knew that what the eight great elders of Black Cloud Sect said probably meant that Moon Shadow Pavilion was about to take action.
After a short while, Sect Leader Xu Ma’an, along with the various peak masters, finally arrived at the site of the ruins. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel✦fire.net
Witnessing the extraordinary phenomenon before them, Xu Ma’an and the others quickly found the entrance to the ruins—the unremarkable stone wall.
"Why aren’t Lin Chen and Yijing here?"
Yang Yuemin looked around and, after extending her divine sense in search, did not detect the presence of Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing.
The location they had reported in their message was this place.
The other peak masters also found this strange and turned their gazes towards the ruins, suspecting that Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing might have already entered the ruins ahead of them.
After all, they too were greatly tempted by the legacy and opportunities within these ruins, which were surely left by at least a Nirvana Mirror realm powerhouse.
But Yang Yuemin knew that with Zhao Yijing’s personality, it was absolutely impossible for her to enter the ruins without waiting for her arrival, which meant there must be another reason for this.
"Alright, let’s not think too much, the commotion caused by this ruin is so great that the other sects and families of the Great Flame Dynasty will inevitably arrive before long. There will surely be a fight for it, so we better enter the ruins first and get a head start."
Xu Ma’an gazed at the ruins before him. With time pressing, he had no spare moments to concern himself with the potential dangers of the ruins.
The commotion caused by the ruins was too great to conceal.
Upon hearing this, each Peak Master nodded and immediately soared towards the stone wall in front of them, employing their movement techniques.
However, as everyone flew up and touched the stone wall, containing the Teleportation Array, a tremendously huge energy wave suddenly repelled them all back.
The force of the powerful recoil almost left them gravely injured.
Xu Ma’an clutched his chest, turning his head to look at his junior brothers and sisters, and found that, just like himself, none of them had been able to enter the ancient ruins before them.
"It seems we do not meet the conditions required to enter these ruins. There are likely many restrictions, either related to cultivation or age," speculated Li Xuanming, the Peak Master of the First Peak, as he gently stroked his long beard.
Xu Ma’an, upon hearing this, agreed with his opinion and immediately turned to his junior brothers and sisters.
"Third, Fifth, guard this place. Hurry back to the Sect and bring the Sect’s young prodigies here. It seems likely that only they can enter these ruins."
Xu Ma’an did not hesitate to issue the command. The Peak Masters of the Third and Fifth Peaks immediately nodded and transformed into streaks of light, heading back to the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Xu Ma’an and the others stayed to guard the site because they were very clear that it wouldn’t be long before other forces from the Great Flame Dynasty would arrive.
This was a supreme opportunity that nobody would want to miss.
Therefore, even though the emergence of the ruins was within the territory of their Jade Cauldron Sect, it was likely that other Sects would fight and even risk open confrontation to force their way in.
All they could do now was delay the others for as long as possible; when the Sect’s young prodigies arrived, they would allow them to enter first to seek their fortunes.
Not long after the Third and Fifth Peak Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect had left, sure enough, several streaks of light arrived.
There were seven people in total. Leading them was an elderly man with white hair holding a whisk staff, who was actually at the Reverting Void Realm, and the six people behind him were at the same level of cultivation.
Naturally, those who could sense this place and arrive with such speed would not be ordinary individuals.
"People from Sword Inquiry Villa? Is it the Villa Master of Sword Inquiry Villa and the six great sword-wielding Elders? What brings you to the territory of the Jade Cauldron Sect?"
Xu Ma’an erupted with an imposing aura as he saw the seven before him, his presence instantly intensifying, and he took steps toward the seven.
The Villa Master of Sword Inquiry Villa, known as Jade Spring Taoist, looked towards Xu Ma’an and raised his whisk staff. It transformed into a shield, protecting the seven of them within, unaffected by Xu Ma’an’s presence.
"With such an event having occurred, does Sect Master Xu really think he can keep it a secret?"
"We of the Orthodox Path are all branches of the same tree. With such an opportunity before us, we should encourage each other. Sect Master Xu should show greater generosity," said Jade Spring Taoist as he finished speaking, and several more streaks of light were seen rushing towards the area from afar.
