Having witnessed the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect entering the ruins, the people from other sects also came to a realization and finally understood the conditions for entry.
Immediately, including the Black Cloud Sect, various sects sent for their younger Heavenly Prides to be escorted over.
It seemed that these old bones wouldn’t be able to enter the ruins themselves; their hopes depended entirely on the younger generation now.
Subsequently, Xu Lianyu and her two senior sisters also entered therein.
Before entering, Yang Yuemin specifically instructed the two to be wary of the disciples from the Black Cloud Sect, informing them that it would be best to avoid clashing with anyone from the Black Cloud Sect if possible.
Xu Lianyu and her senior sisters couldn’t understand; given that their Jade Cauldron Sect and Black Cloud Sect were sworn enemies, if there was a chance, shouldn’t they follow their master’s temperament and strive to eliminate the disciples of the Black Cloud Sect completely?

Xu Lianyu and her two senior sisters were baffled, but since it was Yang Yuemin’s command, they could only comply.
Furthermore, Yang Yuemin informed them that Xu Lianyu’s eldest senior sister and junior brother were also inside the ruins. After entering, while seeking opportunities, their priority was to find the two.
Although Lin Chen had only joined the Jade Cauldron Sect a year ago, Yang Yuemin knew that Lin Chen was different from the other disciples; in terms of cunning, perhaps no one could match Lin Chen. Her little disciple was full of tricks, and only by being with Lin Chen could they reduce a lot of troubles.
After hearing Yang Yuemin’s instructions, Xu Lianyu nodded heavily, a cruel hint of a smile forming at the corners of her mouth.
She had been confined under restrictions at Jade Bird Peak, utterly bored, while Lin Chen had the audacity to go out and have fun with the eldest senior sister; she secretly thought that once she found them, she was definitely going to teach Lin Chen a lesson.
Before him lay a vast wasteland that seemed endless, with towering trees reaching into the clouds every few thousand meters. It was unclear how many years this space had existed.
Many of the plants in this space were things Lin Chen had never seen before, not even recorded in books.
The aura of this space was very ancient, and the spiritual power in the air was several times denser than in the outside world.
If one were to cultivate in such an environment, their cultivation speed would surely skyrocket.
However, in this wilderness, there were invisible pressures that always made one feel in danger. Lin Chen speculated that since the spiritual energy of this space was so rich, the magical beasts that existed here were probably much stronger than those in the outside world.
Therefore, to cultivate, it was essential to find a very safe environment. Otherwise, if discovered by magical beasts, one wouldn’t even know how they died.
Lin Chen looked around and realized that he and Zhao Yijing had both been sucked into this space of ruins, but Zhao Yijing was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
It seemed that they had been transported to different locations within this space. Lin Chen took out the Communication Jade Slip, wanting to send a message to Zhao Yijing to ask for her location, only to find that the Communication Jade Slip was utterly useless here.
"It seems this place is indeed extraordinary; who knows what kind of treasures it may hold."
"With such dense spiritual energy, many high-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures must grow here."
Lin Chen thought to himself and started walking towards the wilderness ahead.
Lin Chen proceeded with great caution. He first released the Spiritual Bees, arranging them into a scattered formation to scout ahead, while he slowly followed behind them.
He would only proceed after ensuring the safety ahead.
The detection capabilities of the Spiritual Bees in this space were somewhat limited, with their range greatly reduced to only about three hundred meters around Lin Chen.
Although it was only three hundred meters, it still far exceeded the detection range of Divine Sense; within the dense forest, Divine Sense could only detect up to twenty meters due to the obstruction of the foliage, so the Spiritual Bees still played a significant role.
Before long, the Spiritual Bees released by Lin Chen discovered a pond two hundred meters to the west.
The water in the pond was crystal clear to the bottom, which was extremely unusual. Lin Chen approached it slowly, and after observing, he was incredibly shocked in his heart.
Because this was not an ordinary pond at all, but rather a Spiritual Spring.
The water within the spring was all Spiritual Spring water, which was even more potent than the effects of a Melding Earth Elixir.
Moreover, this Spiritual Spring was somewhat more powerful than an elixir because a Martial Artist could absorb it without any side effects, though Lin Chen, who had cultivated the Primordial Transformation Art, would be unaffected either way.
Regardless, even if there were impurities or after-effects, they would be refined by the Scorching Sun Fire.
But if he absorbed the water from this Spiritual Spring, Lin Chen’s Cultivation could rise rapidly.
For Lin Chen, this Spiritual Spring held such a great allure, not to mention other Martial Artists.
Containing the impulse to jump into the spring immediately, Lin Chen unleashed his Divine Sense and began to observe the area around the Spiritual Spring in secret.
In such a ruin, with a Spiritual Spring pond , there surely had to be a powerful Magical Beast guarding it nearby.
After a careful investigation, indeed, Lin Chen found a silver-white mink about fifty meters from the pond.
The White Mink was about the size of a human, currently lying on a piece of elemental ice and sleeping.
Silver-white light spots were emanating from its surroundings, and it exuded a very unique aura; it seemed this pond was what had made it so special.
Lin Chen dared not make any move. He could see that the White Mink was extraordinary, and without knowing the full extent of its combat power, it was better not to act rashly.
However, Lin Chen didn’t leave immediately. He observed the spot for an entire hour; the mink didn’t move at all and continued sleeping. It appeared to be an extremely sleepy creature.
If these Spiritual Springs were in the outside world, they would undoubtedly cause countless Martial Artists to fight frantically over them, which is why Lin Chen had to try to claim it for himself.
For safety’s sake, Lin Chen decided to use an Array to control the White Mink nearby.
He had previous experience with this in Mire Longze.
But this time, Lin Chen took out a Spiritual Formation he had made in the Jade Cauldron Sect with countless pricey materials—a Profound Middle Grade Binding Spirit Array, which was worth probably over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in the market.
But Lin Chen felt no pain parting with them; compared to the pool of Spiritual Spring before him, the expense was worthwhile.
After setting up the Spiritual Formation, Lin Chen immediately leaped to the edge of the pond, fully activated his Primordial Transformation Art, raised his hand, and threw out a Three-legged Cauldron, smashing it towards the pond in front of him.
