Qing Wuji, Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins

The young man's eyes were like a starry river, clad in an expensive blue robe, his bearing refined and sunny. At this moment, he was smiling cheerfully.

Entering the room, the young man walked straight up to Lu Yuan, threw an arm around his shoulder, and laughed heartily without a care for appearances: "Hahaha, Lu Yuan, I knew we were tight. You're truly my own brother."

Lu Yuan was helpless and scolded with a laugh, "Get lost. Who's your own brother?"

The young man paid it no mind, sat himself down at the table, grabbed a bottle of wine that hadn't been put away yet, and poured himself a glass.

Lu Yuan looked at Li Wu. "You can go out now."

"Got it, boss."

Li Wu nodded, walked out of the room, and stood guard outside the door.

Lu Yuan sat across from the young man and said in a low voice, "Qing Wuji, you can probably guess why I'm looking for you."

Qing Wuji nodded, took a satisfied sip of wine, and said, "I've got a rough idea. But this matter isn't easy to handle."

"With your skills, you must know who the killer is. Our Qingling Star Travel has always stayed neutral. If I openly take in your Lu family members, the Dark Immortal Hall won't let it go."

Lu Yuan's eyes darkened. "So it's a no?"

"No, no. I mean, I can't decide this. You'll have to talk to my master." Qing Wuji shook his head with a smile.

Qing Wuji's master was the head of Qingling Star Travel.

"Alright. Then please arrange an introduction to your master."

Qing Wuji seemed prepared. He took out a blue token, and the next moment, a phantom figure appeared in the room.

The figure looked middle-aged, equally refined and extraordinary, the kind that inspired warmth at first glance.

Lu Yuan rose and clasped his fist. "Lu Yuan of the Lu family greets Senior Qing Chuan."

Qing Chuan nodded. "Little Lu Yuan, I'm sorry about the Lu family. I also know why you've come. You want Qingling Star Travel to shelter the remaining Lu family members, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Qing Chuan said, "Qingling Star Travel can help you with this. But there's a condition."

Lu Yuan had already prepared himself mentally.

"Senior, speak freely. I'm the one asking for a favor, so naturally, I must pay a price."

Qing Chuan smiled, looking at Lu Yuan with appreciation. "No wonder you're the supreme young prodigy who defeated my disciple. With you around, the Lu family can rebuild its glory sooner or later, or even go further. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush."

"Have you heard of the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins?"

"The Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins!" Lu Yuan's eyes widened. "Is it about to open?"

Qing Chuan nodded. "That's right. After a hundred thousand years, the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins will open soon. Originally, I planned to have Wuji lead the team to explore it. But if you're here, the leader's position is yours."

Lu Yuan fell silent, deeply shocked inside.

The Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins wasn't a secret realm—it was an ancient battlefield.

And it wasn't even on the Dark Continent, but at the borderlands of several supercontinents.

What made the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins so important was a special resource inside called Law Crystals.

As everyone knew, below the Saint realm, cultivation focused mainly on physical power. But once you reached the Saint realm and above, you cultivated laws.

Understanding laws was hard; cultivating them was even harder. For geniuses who comprehended multiple laws at once, it was harder still.

Law Crystals could accelerate law cultivation, making them a sacred cultivation treasure sought by countless cultivators above the Saint realm.

Because they were rare and consumable, Law Crystals had reached astronomical prices, often with no market supply.

The Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins was a special place rich in Law Crystals. Once it opened, it would draw countless major powers swarming in.

But the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins restricted entry to cultivators below the Heavenly Venerate realm, turning it into a perfect arena for young prodigies to clash.

And not just any clash—a battle between prodigies from multiple continents.

Lu Yuan ranked first on the Heavenly Pride Tower.

He had once fought the young masters of the Five Supreme Powers alone, making him the undisputed top prodigy of the Dark Continent.

Naturally, Lu Yuan was someone everyone feared and wanted to recruit.

Lu Yuan was like a nuclear weapon—whoever had him on their team held a trump card.

"So, you want Qingling Star Travel to shelter your Lu family? Fine. But on one condition: you join Qingling Star Travel and lead the team into the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins. What do you say? Think it over." Qing Chuan looked at Lu Yuan expectantly.

"Lu Yuan, what's there to think about? As long as you come, I'm more than happy to hand over the leader's spot to you. Say yes now, and Qingling Star Travel will send people to pick up your Lu family immediately. No one will dare stop us. The Gu family, the Dark Immortal Hall—if they try, it's a declaration of war against Qingling Star Travel." Qing Wuji chimed in from the side.

He really wanted Lu Yuan to join. The Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins involved the top-tier clash of prodigies across multiple continents. He himself was a top prodigy, but his chances still weren't great. With Lu Yuan on board, he'd have full confidence.

At the very least, Qingling Star Travel wouldn't lose too many people.

He had fought Lu Yuan before. He knew better than most just how monstrous Lu Yuan was.

One-on-one, no one on the Dark Continent could beat Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then smiled. "I agree. There really isn't anything to think about. Even if I hadn't known the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins was about to open, I'd still go."

"Good. Lu Yuan, welcome to Qingling Star Travel."

Qing Chuan, the Travel Master, clapped his hands and laughed heartily. At his level of status and strength, few things could bring him such joy.

Qing Wuji was overjoyed as well. He immediately poured Lu Yuan a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Captain Lu Yuan, welcome aboard."

"Cheers."

Lu Yuan raised his glass. "Cheers."

The two drank in one gulp.

At that moment, Qing Chuan said, "I'll send people right away to various places to receive your Lu family members. It won't take long."

"Thank you, Senior," Lu Yuan said.

With Qing Chuan personally making the promise, Lu Yuan felt at ease.

Among the Five Supreme Powers, Qingling Star Travel had the broadest network of information and connections.

"Mm."

Qing Chuan gave a soft hum, and then his projection vanished.

Afterward, Qing Wuji handed Lu Yuan a list. On it were the names of top prodigies from several continents. Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures a hundred battles without peril.

Then Qing Wuji left.

In the room, Lu Yuan stared at the list, lost in thought.

The outcome was within reason. Before deciding to seek help from Qingling Star Travel, Lu Yuan had already mentally prepared himself.

But even he hadn't expected—

That the final result would be leading a team to the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze dark and deep.

"With the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins opening, any force on the Dark Continent above the level of the Heavenly Venerate Sect will likely send a large number of their younger generation disciples."

"Dark Immortal Hall, Immortal Gu Family, Feathered Immortal Dynasty..." Lu Yuan's mind flashed through over a dozen faction names, and then a surging killing intent erupted in his eyes. "Not a single one will survive!"

Lu Yuan decided that within the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins, he would slaughter every prodigy who stood against him. He would cut off the younger generation of the Dark Immortal Hall, the Immortal Gu Family, and the Feathered Immortal Dynasty at the root!
