As a few people continued to advance, the ruins in the core area of the ancient battlefield became increasingly dense.
Large areas of building debris began to appear on the hills on both sides, including stone walls, stone steps, and collapsed towers. The scale was several times larger than that of the peripheral supply points. On some building debris, you can still see the inscriptions of array patterns, with rough and powerful strokes. There are more and more huge pits on the ground, and some pits still have scorch marks left after the Law Technique bombardment at the bottom, most of which have been filled in by thousands of years of wind and sand.
The five people walked along the remaining stone steps between the hills towards the direction where the light spots gathered.
After walking around a stone wall that had half of it collapsed, a different scene came into view.
It was a valley sandwiched between two mountain walls. There was a cave entrance in the center of the valley. The entrance was square in shape, and the edges had obviously been trimmed manually. A palm-sized animal head relief was engraved on the lintel. There were several circles of light golden seals Spirit Rune embedded around the entrance. Spirit Rune was still glowing slightly, obviously in an activated state.
In the open space in front of the cave entrance, there were more than a dozen monks standing in twos and threes, apparently divided into four teams.
On the far left are five monks wearing various robes. In the middle is a team of three consisting of two body cultivators carrying broad swords and an array master holding an array disk. On the right are four sect disciples wearing blue-gray standard robes. There is another one near the entrance of the cave. The four teams keep a close distance from each other, and their eyes are fixed on the golden seal at the entrance of the cave.
The appearance of the five Qin Tiexin people attracted brief attention.
A few Divine Sense glanced at it and then put it back. Two monks looked at the Zen staff in Qin Tiexin's hands for a few times and chatted in low voices, but no one came forward to talk and their eyes fell back to the entrance of the cave. It seems that similar ruins have been discovered in this area several times, and everyone is not surprised.
"Brother - this way!" A clear voice came from the direction of the cave entrance.
Lin Wei ran out from the position closest to the entrance of the cave. Her long crimson waist skirt was particularly conspicuous against the gray background of the ancient battlefield. She had a pair of knives on her waist, and her hair was tied into a neat high ponytail. The high ponytail swung left and right as she ran, and she rushed in front of Lin Chuan in a few steps.
"You are walking so slowly! Why did you catch up with us today?" Lin Wei said, grinning at Qin Tiexin again, "Master, has he changed his weapon? This Zen stick looks more pleasing to the eye than the previous one."
Qin Tiexin made a Buddhist salute with one hand raised up.
"What is this place? How did you find this place?" Lin Chuan asked.
"I didn't find it, it was our captain who sensed it." Lin Wei turned around and waved towards the entrance of the cave, calling for three teammates to come over.
The first person to come over was a petite girl, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her height just reached Qin Tiexin's chest. She was wearing a moon-white shorts outfit, and she was carrying a gun almost as tall as her on her back. A heavy sword with a blade that was wide enough to be used as a shield, and a dark red animal skin strip wrapped around the hilt. Qin Tiexin noticed that her walking steps were very heavy, and each step left a shallow pit mark on the soft gravel ground.
Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation level, but that sense of pure physical strength comes from physical training.
"Liu Xiaoyu, Supreme Splendor Academy Foundation Establishment Late Stage, specializes in epee. Master, you can compare your strength." Lin Wei patted the girl's shoulder, and the girl nodded shyly to everyone, her ears slightly red, which was completely different from that fierce epee.
The second person who walked over was a female cultivator in her early twenties. She was wearing a light blue Alchemist robe. The large robe could not hide her curvy body shape. She nodded slightly at Xu Ying. They seemed to know each other.
"Han Ling, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Alchemist is also a medical practitioner. The nanny in our team, Law Technique, specializes in treatment." Lin Wei finished the introduction and added, "Supreme Splendor Academy is also from the Danxiu branch."
As soon as the female cultivator who came last appeared, the atmosphere of the entire place changed slightly.
She looked to be in her mid-twenties, wearing a dark blue outfit, with a narrow-edged scimitar hanging from her waist. The scabbard was densely engraved with Spirit Rune. Foundation Establishment Peak Stage cultivation. Her aura was calm and restrained, and her eyes swept over the crowd with a sense of unhurried pressure.
Qin Tiexin met her before at Morning Star Training Ground, Supreme Splendor Academy Lan Lingwei, Lin Chuan called her "one of the strongest people present", Half-Step Golden Core.
Lan Lingwei walked closer, his eyes paused on Qin Tiexin, then turned to Lin Chuan, nodding slightly. "Lin Chuan."
"Senior Sister Lan." Lin Chuan bowed with his hands raised. Lin Chuan and Lan Lingwei are in the same place, Supreme Splendor Academy. According to the seniority in the academy, they are called Senior Sister.
Lin Wei couldn't wait to speak, "Brother, do you know where this is? This is the place where young master Spirit Taming Sect is buried!"
"Spirit Taming Sect?" Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"There was a sect a thousand years ago, with beast control as its main focus." Lan Lingwei took over, his voice unhurried and unhurried, "Spirit Taming Sect was a moderate sect a thousand years ago. In its heyday, Nascent Soul True Lord was in charge and had thousands of disciples. Vast Waves Great War Spirit Taming Sect Almost the entire E sect participated in the war. The young sect leader was cultivated as Golden Core Peak. He died of serious injuries after the war and passed away here. Legend has it that he planted this cave abode before his death and sealed all the Spirit Taming Sect inheritance and belongings he carried with him inside, waiting for the destined person to come and collect them."
"How did you discover this place?" Du Heng asked.
Lan Lingwei pointed to the animal head relief on the lintel of the cave entrance. "The animal head pattern on this seal is Spirit Taming Sect's unique mark thousands of years ago. A monk passed by here before and sealed it." The seal has not been activated yet, and the animal head pattern is dark. No one noticed it, and it was just regarded as an ordinary station. But just half an hour ago, the seal lit up on its own, and it has continued until now. Several surrounding teams have been attracted by the aura."
"The seal lit up by itself?" Liu Suifeng became interested. He walked to the entrance of the cave and squatted down to observe the circles of pale golden Spirit Rune, "Can the seal from a thousand years ago activate by itself? How special is the structure of this formation--"
Halfway through his words, a few lines of analysis runes flashed across the formation disk, and he frowned. After a while, he stood up and patted the soil on his knees.
"This is not an ordinary seal. This seal is divided into two layers. The outer layer is the activation and screening layer. It is usually hidden and will only activate when a monk approaches. The screening part is used to detect monks. The inner layer looks like a small space array, which means that the area inside is much larger than it looks outside."
He turned the formation plate over and showed everyone the Spirit Rune analysis diagram displayed on it, "I can't analyze the filtering conditions, but since it is the relic of young master Spirit Taming Sect, it is probably related to the beast control talent. This thing is completely incompatible with my formation, so I won't join in the fun."
"Brother, can we go in together?" Lin Wei grabbed Lin Chuan's sleeve, his eyes as bright as two spiritual beads, "Spirit Taming Sect's inheritance! That is the inheritance from thousands of years ago. It will definitely cultivate my Little Red into the best spiritual beast in the world."
