Before me lay ruins and broken walls.
Watching Mu Fusheng unleash his Divine Sense to its fullest extent from behind, Jiu Bailu marveled at Mu Fusheng's renewed spiritual power and asked, "There shouldn't be any clues left here, right? It's already damaged to this extent."
Whether intentionally or not, Mu Fusheng, without turning his head, said, "Everyone knows very little about the God Ascension Ruins, or rather, the top academies know more, but we only know the basics. It wouldn't be good to rush in rashly, so we still need to gather some clues. Otherwise, running around here like headless flies will be a waste of energy."
Jiu Bailu said softly, "But in such a place, is there really any clue?"
"Since there has been war here, there must be some vested interest involved." Mu Fusheng's mind was clear, and he explained, "Whenever there is war, there will be clues."
Jiu Bailu nodded.
That makes sense; that's something she overlooked.
It must be said that it was precisely because of Mu Fusheng's cautious nature that he was able to find a breakthrough in these seemingly minor details.
To be honest, after searching for almost half a day...
Mu Fusheng didn't overlook any detail and finally found some clues.
This appears to be the very center of the city, and the surrounding ruins are made of materials far superior to those of other buildings within the city.
It looks like a place similar to the City Lord's Manor.
Among these were many books that had been burned down to just a few pages.
Mu Fusheng squatted down and flipped through them all.
First, a clue was discovered.
This is a place God Ascension City, which is also the closest city to God Ascension Canyon.
Meanwhile, the God Ascension Platform is located within this God Ascension Canyon.
Mu Fusheng frowned slightly and said, "It seems that as long as we are teleported to the Divine Realm, that will be the closest place to the God Ascension Platform."
Jiu Bailu asked, "Then how do those who are teleported to the Underworld and the Human Realm get here?"
Mu Fusheng shook his head. "I don't know, but since the rules are set this way, no matter where you are teleported to, you will eventually end up in the God Ascension Canyon."
The books scattered beneath these cliffs have been examined.
Mu Fusheng continued walking forward.
Here stands a stone tablet.
The stone tablet still emitted a faint, sacred white light.
Everything around it was broken, but this stone tablet remained perfectly preserved.
It's as if eternity has emerged from decay.
Mu Fusheng was about to step forward.
But at the very same moment.
Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu stopped at the same time and looked to their left.
"Oh? Your perception is quite strong; you were even able to detect our presence."
As the voice rang out, three figures suddenly appeared in front of Mu Fusheng and the others.
One of them was Jiang Yousheng, who had mocked them at the Cangxuan Academy.
Although the auras of the other two were slightly inferior to Jiang Yousheng's, they also possessed the strength of the Peak Ancestor Realm.
Mu Fusheng raised an eyebrow slightly, then his expression instantly shifted to one of slight tension. He took a small step back and said, " Divine Miracle Academy..."
Jiu Bailu stood by, somewhat speechless.
Were you serious about taking half a step back?
Jiang Yousheng and his two companions noticed Mu Fusheng's actions and, staring at his expression, laughed, "What? Weren't you Azure Firmament Academy very confident before? Why are you scared now?"
Mu Fusheng asked, "What do you want to do?"
At the same time, be ready to use the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman at any time.
As Vice Dean Lin had previously reminded us, although it's impossible to leave the God Ascension Ruins using the Escape Talisman and can only do so through the God Ascension Platform, teleportation within the ruins is still possible.
Of course, distance will be affected to some extent.
If you are not confident in killing the enemy in the early stages, you should temporarily avoid combat.
Otherwise, if information is shared and some of our strengths are revealed, it could cause some trouble.
According to Mu Fusheng's idea.
If a fatal blow cannot be delivered in one strike, the situation will become even more difficult to deal with once the opponent relays information and recovers from their injuries. This can be considered ineffective damage that exposes one's whereabouts.
Jiang Yousheng shrugged and said, "Naturally, we're here to find this stone tablet. After all, we don't have a map to the God Ascension Canyon, but we do have this stone tablet."
The woman beside him frowned and said, " Jiang Yousheng, don't reveal all the information!"
Jiang Yousheng scoffed, saying, " Senior Sister Run is fine. They're Mortal Realm. Killing them is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs. Besides, this is one of our missions..."
Seeing this scene...
Mu Fusheng seemed lost in thought.
Jiang Yousheng appears to be the youngest, but he is actually the strongest among them.
And considering the tone...
Mu Fusheng couldn't help but smile inwardly.
People who are young and possess extraordinary talent are usually very arrogant.
Jiang Yousheng was like that at that moment.
So Mu Fusheng said, "The map? You can get it then, we'll leave now."
Seeing Mu Fusheng's expression, Jiu Bailu understood perfectly and transmitted her voice, "Trying to trick them?"
Mu Fusheng Outer Dao, "You figured it out?"
Jiu Bailu: "..."
Is this the important point?
"No, even you saw through it. It seems I wasn't good enough at pretending."
And so, a bead of sweat dripped down Mu Fusheng's forehead.
Jiu Bailu: "..."
Okay, whatever makes you happy.
Mu Fusheng was unaware that Jiu Bailu had been watching Mu Fusheng closely, which was why she was so perceptive of his subtle expressions.
Unless you know someone very well, how can you tell whether Mu Fusheng is faking it or not?
"Leave?" Jiang Yousheng, grinning, "No rush, no rush. You guys are still useful. See that white light around that stone tablet? That thing can prevent people from the Divine Realm from touching it, so we can't open the stone tablet on our own. We can only rely on you."
"So, please open the stone tablet and hand over the map to us first. Perhaps if I'm in a better mood, I might let you off the hook."
Mu Fusheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, taking a step and stopping frequently. When he reached the stone tablet, he turned back to look at Jiang Yousheng and asked, "Is it really true?"
Jiang Yousheng frowned and snapped, "You've already made me a little unhappy!"
Mu Fusheng shuddered, then quickly began to activate the stone tablet.
The white light emanating from the stone tablet seemed to have no effect on Mu Fusheng.
After a series of operations.
There was a crack in the center of the stone tablet, and inside lay a scroll.
Mu Fusheng took it out.
Jiang Yousheng and the other two were delighted, and immediately stepped forward, reaching out their hands, saying, "Give it to me."
Mu Fusheng held the scroll in both hands, as if grasping at a last straw, and moved forward step by step.
When they arrived in front of Jiang Yousheng.
Just as the scroll was about to be handed over.
Jiang Yousheng sneered, "Heh heh, as expected, I still can't let you live... Pfft!"
Snap!
A slap suddenly landed on Jiang Yousheng's face.
A flash of lightning then streaked across the sky.
Mu Fusheng grabbed Jiu Bailu and fled!
Jiang Yousheng turned his head, lost in a daze...
