The ruins barrier swayed like water waves under the palm of Ye Xuan. The ancient restrictions that were enough to strangle Xuanzun at his peak disintegrated under the silver light flowing on his fingertips, as if they had never existed.
The crowd followed closely and stepped into the depths of this secret realm that had been dusty for countless thousands of years.
Contrary to the expected danger, the journey was surprisingly peaceful.
There were no guardian puppets, no machine-killing formations, and not even the most common spiritual storm appeared.
There is only dead silence.
"Strange..."
Xu Linglong holds a compass, her beautiful eyes full of doubts. "The perimeter of the ruins is so terrifying, but there is no protection inside? Are all the killing arrays concentrated at the entrance?"
Ye Xuan walked calmly, Thunder Eyes swept past the collapsed temples and broken stone pillars on both sides, and said in a calm voice, "It's not that there is no protection, but that the previous protection has been broken."
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
Chu Wan'er followed Ye Xuan's gaze, and then noticed that there were faint traces of charred black remaining on the ruined walls. There was a vague aura of thunder in the traces. Although it had passed away over the years, it still contained a trace of heart-stopping pressure.
"This is... the trace of Lightning Dao divine ability's bombardment." Chu Wan'er said softly, "And it is at least the peak-level lightning method of the Holy Lord."
"More than that."
Ye Xuan stopped in front of a half-collapsed stone pillar and reached out to brush away the dust on the surface, revealing a deep palm print underneath.
The palm print was three inches into the stone, and the edge was as smooth as a mirror. The Daoist rhyme flowing in it actually made the Nine Dragon Sky Prison Seal in his body resonate slightly!
"It seems that someone has been here a long time ago." Ye Xuan retracted his hand, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, "And this person probably practiced the skills related to Jiulong."
Xu Linglong stepped forward to take a closer look and suddenly exclaimed, "There are words on it, hiss, Shenwu Imperial Clan!?!"
"Master Ye, this is the text of the Shenwu Imperial Clan!"
"Shenwu Imperial Clan?"
Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
They had indeed seen sporadic records of this name in the ancient books of Outer Heavens. According to legend, Great Emperor Shenwu became enlightened as Mortal Body, lived a second life, and was in charge of Three Thousand Dao Provinces for two million years. His combat power was so strong that he once suppressed the turmoil of an era.
However, there are very few detailed records about this imperial clan. It seems as if an invisible hand has quietly erased that period of history from the long river of time.
"Keep walking."
Ye Xuan stopped staying and led everyone towards the deepest part of the ruins.
After passing through the triple collapsed palace gate and passing through a withered elixir garden, the front suddenly became clear.
A blue lake comes into view.
The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the scattered light from the dome of the ruins, making it appear quiet and mysterious. Around the lake, nine Coiling Dragon stone pillars stand. The pillars are engraved with ancient runes that have been lost for a long time, forming a faint formation that covers the entire lake.
On the shore of the lake, a black stone tablet about three feet high stands quietly.
There are actually words engraved on the surface of the stone tablet!
This is the first time everyone has seen complete written records since entering the ruins!
"This is...Shenwu Sect ruins!"
There was uncontrollable excitement in her voice, and she turned to look at Ye Xuan: "Mr. Ye, it is recorded on this monument that this place is the remains of the mountain gate of the Shenwu Imperial Clan's 'Shenwu Sect'! Shenwu Sect ruled the thirteen continents around Huanzhou at that time, and it was one of Great Emperor Shenwu's personal traditions!"
When Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er heard this, their expressions condensed.
Shenwu Imperial Clan's sect?
No wonder the ban here is so terrifying!
Chu Wan'er suddenly sent a message to Ye Xuan: "Husband, I remember it was mentioned in ancient books that what Great Emperor Shenwu owned back then was 'Nine Dragon Emperor Body', which used nine heavenly dragons as its dharma to suppress the heavens. Your Nine Dragon Sky Prison Seal... may be related to this."
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
He had long felt that something deep in the ruins was calling for the power of the Nine Dragons in his body.
Now it seems that that should be the subsequent inheritance of Nine Dragon Sky Prison Seal.
"What else is said on the monument?" Ye Xuan asked.
Xu Linglong continued to interpret, "The inscription records that Shenwu Sect suffered a catastrophe at the end of the ancient times. All the elites of the sect were killed in battle, leaving only a 'heritage lake' to wait for fate. There is a Nine Dragon Monument in the lake, and Emperor Blood Dao Tree is in front of the monument. The fruit under the tree can nourish Emperor Blood..."
When she read this, she suddenly paused, and her beautiful eyes suddenly looked towards the center of the lake!
The lake water is clear, and you can see that the bottom of the lake is covered with crystal clear spiritual stones. In the center of the lake, a small island no more than ten feet in diameter is exposed out of the water. In addition to a taller ancient monument on the island, there is actually a small red tree!
The tree is only a few feet tall, but its branches and leaves are like carvings of red jade, flowing with dazzling glow. And at the top of the tree crown, a fist-sized red fruit hangs quietly. The fruit is as red as blood, and there are natural Emperor Mark on the surface, exuding a majestic vitality that makes Divine Soul tremble!
"Emperor Blood Dao Fruit!"
Xu Linglong exclaimed, with unprecedented excitement on her pretty face!
As a descendant of the Imperial Clan, she knows the value of this fruit very well!
Emperor Blood Dao Fruit, only in the place where the imperial bloodline fell, watered with Emperor Blood and nourished by the imperial charm, can it be conceived after thousands of years. It contains not only the extremely pure essence of Emperor Blood, but also a complete fragment of the imperial law!
For a descendant of the Imperial Clan like her with thin blood, this Dao Fruit is enough to bring about a qualitative change in her nothingness Emperor Blood, and even... a chance to awaken the true Imperial Clan talent!
"Sister Linglong, do you recognize this fruit?" Lie Xiong She was so out of control that she couldn't help but ask.
At this time, Chu Wan'er said, "This fruit is called 'Emperor Blood Dao Fruit', and it is the exclusive holy medicine of the imperial clan. Taking it can purify Emperor Blood and make up for the defects in the bloodline."
She paused, looked at Xu Linglong, and said with a smile, "This fruit is a supreme treasure for any descendant of the imperial clan. Miss Linglong, it is very suitable for you."
Ye Xuan smiled softly when he heard this.
"I can't have such a valuable Precious Medicine!"
Xu Linglong shook his head after hearing this.
Although she knows that this thing is very important to her, the Emperor Yun Dao Fruit is priceless, especially in today's troubled times, when various ancient imperial clans are born, one Dao Fruit can even be exchanged for half a continent!
This time when she came to the secret realm, she didn't do much.
"This thing is of no use to us, and Miss Linglong is our friend, so naturally I have to give it to you!"
"I just hope that we can continue to cooperate in the future!"
Chu Wan'er smiled.
If a Dao Fruit can tie Xu Linglong to your own ship, then it is worth it.
"That's right, girl, don't refuse!"
Ye Xuan also smiled.
After all, Xu Linglong will be useful later.
"That's it, well then, Xu Linglong, of course you won't be ashamed of Young Master Ye and Miss Chu!"
Seeing this, Xu Linglong could only tremble and bow to accept it.
Ye Xuan nodded, and immediately his eyes swept across the lake, Thunder Eyes the silver glow was flowing. "But the restrictions on this lake are somewhat interesting."
Only then did everyone turn their attention away from Emperor Blood Dao Fruit and look at the formation covering the lake.
The formation composed of nine Coiling Dragon stone pillars is slowly moving at this moment. The runes on the pillars light up one by one, intertwining into a vast golden net over the lake. Every line in the net contains the terrifying Imperial Might. Although it is only one ten thousandth of what it was in its heyday, it still makes everyone present feel suffocating and oppressive.
Xu Linglong observed carefully for a moment, her pretty face gradually turned white.
"This formation... has touched the level of the Imperial Dao. It integrates the three supreme laws of space, time, and reincarnation. They are interlocked and affect the whole body. Not to mention cracking it, just understanding the rules of operation requires at least Earth Venerable level formation attainments..."
When she said this, there was a hint of despair in her voice.
Even if the emperor-level formation is incomplete, Xuan Zun cannot touch it. Forcibly cracking it will only cause the formation to backfire. When Imperial Might breaks out, everyone present will probably be wiped out.
However, Ye Xuan's expression remained normal.
He stepped forward and came to the lake, his eyes slowly closed.
The next moment, a Venerable Ring emerged from behind him, and the formation secret, Void Character Secret, and Time Character Secret in Emperor Character Secret were running at the same time!
In his perception, every line and node of the imperial formation in front of him was clearly visible.
The intertwining of laws that seemed mysterious to Xu Linglong were as simple as children's graffiti in his eyes!
Imperial Formation?
He has seen too much!
Having already experienced the baptism of the Primordial Realm Emperor Formation in the Lower Realm, coupled with Ye Xuan's formation attainments in Heaven, this Shenwu Emperor Formation is too simple now.
Ye Xuan Suddenly raised his hands, his fingers drew afterimages in the air like butterflies piercing flowers.
Every time you drop your finger, a ray of silver light will disappear into the lake.
At first, the formation showed no response.
But as Ye Xuan dropped faster and faster, the golden net above the lake began to tremble slightly!
The nine Coiling Dragon stone pillars simultaneously let out a low dragon roar, and the runes on the pillars flashed crazily, seeming to be fiercely confronting Ye Xuan's methods.
Xu Linglong and the others held their breath and watched this scene nervously.
Three breaths.
Five breaths.
Ten breaths.
When Ye Xuan's seventy-second finger falls!
Buzz!
The entire formation suddenly stopped!
A gap opened in the golden net, and the gap quickly expanded, turning into a passage leading directly to the small island in the middle of the lake. On both sides of the passage, Imperial Might still filled the air, but it was no longer aggressive.
"Let's go."
Ye Xuan stopped and stepped onto the passage first.
Everyone woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed.
The moment he set foot on the island, an imperial aura that was a hundred times stronger than the outside came to his face. The small red tree seemed to be spiritual, its branches and leaves swaying gently, and the Emperor Blood Dao Fruit on the top of the tree bloomed with a dazzling blood light, reflecting the entire island as if it were carved out of Blood Jade.
Xu Linglong looked at the holy fruit so close at hand, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.
Ye Xuan was not in a hurry to get the fruit, but turned his attention to the ancient monument behind the small tree.
The monument is nine feet high, completely black, and surrounded by nine lifelike reliefs of heavenly dragons.
On the surface of the monument, there are no words, only dense palm prints!
Sure enough, it is very similar to the ancient tablet we obtained before!
