Quasi-Emperor Ruins

"I see, thank you for telling me, brother."

Gu Changge said.

The passerby nodded and then joined the large group exploring the Quasi-Emperor ruins.

"Since there are Quasi-Emperor ruins, let's go check out the excitement."

Gu Changge said to Ye Muqing and Lin Ni Yu.

Thus, Gu Changge and the two women followed the cultivators from Pear Blossom City to the Quasi-Emperor ruins outside the city.

Outside Pear Blossom City, a grand and imposing building stood in the distance. This was the ruins formed after a rogue cultivator Quasi-Emperor from the Liuli Divine Dynasty died.

In the Myriad Worlds, when ordinary rogue cultivators who reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm but did not achieve Emperorhood died, their treasures and cultivation method manuals would, according to the will of the Heavenly Dao of the plane, transform into ruins to benefit future generations.

At this moment, everyone gathered by the Quasi-Emperor ruins, waiting for them to open.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp!"

The two tall stone gates at the entrance of the ruins slowly moved to the sides, emitting a dazzling bright light.

A faint "crack" sound came from a large formation surrounding the ruins, indicating that the lock formation of the ruins had been broken.

"The ruins are open!"

"All Giant Wood Sect disciples, follow me into the ruins!"

"Lin Family disciples, obey my command, let's head to the ruins together!"

At this moment, whether it was disciples from various forces from different cities in Liusha Commandery or rogue cultivators, they were all excited. Some were giving orders, while others were charging ahead, all coveting these Quasi-Emperor ruins.

Of course, the truly intelligent people were often the last to enter, because the ruins contained many natural illusion and killing formations granted by the Heavenly Dao. The first ones to rush in, the hotheads, often served as cannon fodder to test the formations.

Gu Changge and his companions entered the Quasi-Emperor ruins only after everyone else had gone in.

"As expected of Quasi-Emperor ruins, the spiritual energy density is several times higher than outside."

Lin Ni Yu said as soon as they entered.

"Let's just wander around and see if we can find any treasures here."

Gu Changge said.

Of course, Gu Changge was just saying that casually. As the Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty and the Dao Child of Tianyuan Academy, why would he truly care about a few Quasi-Emperor treasures?

Inside the Quasi-Emperor ruins, they were filled with demonic beasts and puppets condensed from spiritual power, as well as various ever-changing killing and illusion formations. If one were not an experienced cultivator exploring ruins, it would be easy to fall into a trap.

The original owner of the ruins, the rogue cultivator Quasi-Emperor, would have his cultivation methods, pills, Dao Artifacts, formations, Gu Worms, and other cultivation-related items appear in the ruins in the form of treasures, guarded by powerful spirit beasts or puppets. Defeating the guardians would allow one to successfully obtain the rewards.

The closer one got to the center of the ruins, the denser the spiritual energy would become, the stronger the guardians would be, and the more generous the rewards would be.

"Roar!"

Within the magnificent ruins, Gu Changge and his companions encountered a spirit beast guarding a ball of light.

"This is a spirit wolf. It looks like it has the strength of the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

Lin Ni Yu said.

Gu Changge directly released four demonic beasts at the first level of Qi Condensation Realm. Soon, the spirit wolf was torn to shreds by the four demonic beasts, transforming into a ball of pure spiritual energy that flew into the bodies of the four demonic beasts.

After the spirit wolf died, the ball of light behind it became ownerless.

Gu Changge walked forward and picked up the ball of light.

The ball of light immediately erupted with dazzling light and transformed into a Dao Artifact.

"It's a Moon-tier mid-grade spirit halberd."

Gu Changge said with some disappointment.

Anything below Emperor-tier was useless to him.

Gu Changge threw the spirit halberd away. The spirit halberd transformed back into a ball of light, and the spiritual energy within the ruins surged towards the ball of light. In a short while, another guardian would be formed.

Just then, a voice suddenly came over, attracting Gu Changge's attention.

"You damn brat, you're cornered now, aren't you? Let's see where you run!"

Several people dressed in black cloud robes were seen chasing a young man with a handsome face.

"Ding, detected a new Son of Heaven's Mandate."

At this moment, the System gave a prompt.

Gu Changge looked closely and found that the young man had a "Viewable" button option on him, similar to Xiao Yan and Lin Bing from before.

Gu Changge clicked the button.

Son of Heaven's Mandate: Shi Dong

Realm: Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level

Physique: Undying Blood Scale Body

Destiny Value: 1000

Destiny Treasure: Blood Scale Ring

"Oh, interesting. I actually ran into a new Son of Heaven's Mandate here."

Gu Changge said to himself.

"Damn Heavenly Evil Sect! If I, Shi Dong, survive today, I will surely exterminate your entire Heavenly Evil Sect in the future!"

Shi Dong said through gritted teeth as he dodged.

"Hmph, kid, you should worry about whether you can survive today first."

One of the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples said disdainfully.

"I didn't expect to encounter remnants of the Heavenly Evil Sect again."

Gu Changge sighed and said.

At this moment, the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples heard Gu Changge's words and noticed Gu Changge and his two companions.

"Hmm? Who is this suicidal fool who dares to slander us just because they saw us, the Heavenly Evil Sect, appear?"

The leading disciple among the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples said.

"It was me."

Gu Changge said calmly.

"So it's you, kid. You're only at the first level of the Skin Scraping Realm, and you dare to provoke us? Your two companions over there look pretty good. Hand them over to me, and perhaps I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood."

The leading Heavenly Evil Sect disciple clearly hadn't realized what kind of existence he had encountered, and he spoke boastfully.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Ye Muqing's and Lin Ni Yu's eyes.

Gu Changge didn't waste any more words on them and directly summoned four Demonic Beasts at the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

"Little Ink, Little Sky, Little Ice, Little Flame, destroy them."

Gu Changge said calmly.

"Roar!"

The Ink Profound Flood Dragon, Sky Winged Tiger, Frost Giant Wolf, and Flame Giant Wolf lunged at the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples. In an instant, they were torn to shreds by the four beasts.

"I am Shi Dong. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving me."

Shi Dong walked over at this moment, cupped his fists in a salute to Gu Changge, and said.

"No need to thank me."

Gu Changge said coldly. This was because Shi Dong was a Son of Heaven's Mandate, and he was also a Son of Heaven's Mandate. Ultimately, only one winner would emerge among all the Sons of Heaven's Mandate. They would be recognized by the Heavenly Dao of this plane and compete for Heaven's Mandate against the Sons of Heaven's Mandate from other planes.

Seeing Gu Changge's indifferent attitude, Shi Dong could only shrug. Since Gu Changge didn't appreciate his kindness, he wouldn't try to warm up to Gu Changge's cold shoulder.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for triggering the Heaven's Mandate mission: Eliminate/Subdue Son of Heaven's Mandate Shi Dong (0/1)."

"System, if I subdue Shi Dong, will he still be a Son of Heaven's Mandate?"

Gu Changge asked in his heart.

"Ding, all Sons of Heaven's Mandate are arrogant beings. Once they submit to someone else, the Heavenly Dao will reclaim their destiny and their Destiny Value will drop to zero."

The System said.
