Arrival, Xiao Yan Also Arrives

Xiao Tian glanced at the Skeleton Mountain Range, wondering if his strength could be considered a dimensional reduction attack within these Ancient Ruins.

Fortunately, these Ancient Ruins generally do not restrict the strength of those who enter.

"Comet Shadow, let's go. Hopefully, something interesting will happen inside."

"Hehe, the master must be one of those bystanders in the storybook you mentioned."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xiao Huiying couldn't help but chuckle. She had always thought that her master was just a pure-blooded bystander who liked to secretly watch the show.

Life is like a play, and this world is like a giant makeshift stage. Without watching the plays, life would be much less fun, haha.

Xiao Tian tore through space, carrying Xiao Huiying into the void, heading towards the Skeleton Mountain Range.

Inside a cloud above the mountain range, Xiao Tian rested his head on Xiao Huiying's lap, watching the lively scene below.

This Skeleton Mountain Range is within the territory of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan.

This time, Qing Lin did not hunt down any powerful members of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan wanted to drive away these people and monopolize the entire Ancient Ruins.

Therefore, the scene below, where the Earth Nether Python and other forces are confronting each other, has come to be.

"Master, more and more people are showing up. I wonder if a fight will break out." Xiao Huiying massaged Xiao Tian's head, her voice filled with anticipation.

The Heaven Comet Dragon has never been a benevolent dragon; it's more like a legendary symbol of natural disaster.

Being close to Xiao Tian had also fostered a gossipy, spectator-like mentality; they were hoping the people below would fight so they and their master could enjoy the spectacle.

"A fight won't break out. Right now, those who have come here are wary of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan's strength. Once the top-tier forces arrive, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan won't dare to act rashly."

"Once such Ancient Ruins are revealed, it is virtually impossible for one person to possess them entirely, even if Dou Sheng from the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan were to intervene."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words and looking at the scene of people hurling insults at each other below, Xiao Huiying felt a pang of regret that a fight hadn't broken out.

It's impossible for Dou Sheng to take over this Ancient Ruins. Putting aside whether Dou Sheng would even be interested in it, the mere fact that Dou Sheng would intervene would involve too many issues, and it's not just the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan that has Dou Sheng.

Originally, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan had intended to contain the entire Skeleton Mountain Range, but after the appearance of various first-rate forces, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan had no choice but to abandon this naive idea.

After all, the Bloodline Power of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan has been further weakened since the loss of the Nine Nether Dark Staff, making their already thin bloodline even more fragile.

However, the Nine Nether Earth Python, being a local power, occupied the best location, which was also the closest to the ruins.

None of the major powers had any objections to this, nor were they willing to completely sever ties.

With the Nine Nether Earth Python unable to seal off the entire Skeleton Mountain Range again, and Ancient Ruins might contain Heaven Rank Dou Skill, the area has attracted people from all walks of life, as well as powerful independent cultivators.

Time flies, and the opening time of the ruins is approaching.

The Skeleton Mountain Range was now completely bustling with activity, with crowds of people thronging the area below, and the air filled with noise and sounds of fighting.

These people provided Xiao Tian with a lot of amusement during this period, as various interesting conflicts would break out from time to time.

Since the people below were all at the Dou Zun level, and there were no Half-Saint among them, after all, not every Half-Saint is as young and free as Xiao Tian and the others. Those Half-Saint powerhouses were all entering old age.

They have basically all lost their ambition and are eager to hide away and cultivate in Secluded Cultivation, racing against time to break through to the Dou Sheng.

The Ancient Ruins were located in the center of the Skeleton Mountain Range, so the better areas around it were occupied by powerful forces with considerable strength.

Among them, the most elite are the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the Heavenly Underworld Sect, the Burning Flame Valley, the Ice River Valley, and the Soul Hall members who hide in the shadows.

Xiao Tian also sensed his younger brother Xiao Yan, who was currently in the Burning Flame Valley's group, with Nalan Yanran beside him.

It must have been Xiao Yan who helped them successfully refine the pills, thus becoming one of their honored guests.

At this time, Xiao Yan had already reached the Dou Zun cultivation level. Xiao Tian could clearly feel that the Child Fire he had given him had been absorbed and refined by Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra. Moreover, even Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame had been refined by him to reach his current cultivation level.

Nalan Yanran, who was standing beside him, had also reached the Seven Star Dou Zong level, and there was a powerful energy within her.

Presumably, Xiao Tian had pointed out the direction for them beforehand and successfully obtained the opportunity from the people inside.

Xiao Tian had asked Han Yue and the others about it, but none of them wanted it. In the end, it eventually ended up in Nalan Yanran's hands.

Anyway, it's all going to be taken by the Xiao Family, so it doesn't matter who gets it, since it's not some kind of heaven-defying opportunity.

At this time, Xiao Yan's situation was not particularly good. Among the top-tier forces here, apart from Burning Flame Valley and Starfall Pavilion, almost all of them were Xiao Yan's enemies.

The Soul Hall covets Yao Lao's soul, while the Ice River Valley covets Nalan Yanran's unique physique.

The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, in particular, harbored deep hatred for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, inside the Burning Flame Valley, ignored them and fell into deep thought, thinking to himself, "I haven't seen a single person from the Free and Unfettered Hall. That shouldn't be the case. The news of the opening of these ruins has spread so widely; they must have received the news."

The Yao Lao inside the Bone Flame Ring sensed Xiao Yan's expression and instantly understood what he was thinking.

"Yan Er, no need to look anymore. It's actually very simple. Since no one from the Free and Unfettered Hall has appeared, it's possible that Xiao Tian has come in person."

Xiao Yan's thoughts raced, and he realized it was indeed true. "But why haven't I seen him yet? Did Teacher sense Tian Ge's presence?"

"No, didn't they say Xiao Tian went into Secluded Cultivation? Maybe his strength has increased a lot since he came out. I just don't know if he will break through to the Half-Saint realm." Yao Lao's voice came softly, with a hint of envy in it.

He had once thought himself exceptionally talented, but after meeting Xiao Tian, Yao Lao had to admit that the other party was indeed monstrous. Even those so-called people with the Dou Di Bloodline were not worth mentioning in front of him.

"Half-Saint?" Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but swallow hard. This was a realm that countless people dreamed of, a cultivation threshold that kept ninety-nine percent of the people on the entire continent out of the door.

Xiao Yan thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible. Given how rapidly the other party's cultivation level had inexplicably increased in that short period of time, let alone Half-Saint, he would believe it if the other party said he was Dou Sheng someday.
