Chapter 629: Entering The Ancient Ruin
A few days ago...
Ye Xiao met his master and both master & disciple spent more than a half-day together.
w.a.n.g Fuzhi was shocked when he learned that Ye Xiao had actually already become a Mid Dao Tribulation Stage martial artist. And his Pill Dao was also extremely profound.
Learning this, w.a.n.g Fuzhi felt very glad in his heart. They talked about many things and Ye Xiao also recounted some of his adventures in front of his master.
Lastly, he told his master that he was here to take him away, but w.a.n.g Fuzhi shook his head and said that he has yet to do many things and one such thing was to take revenge on those people who not only framed him and forced him to regress and hide in the Lower Realm but also killed his only son, w.a.n.g Lin.
Talking of w.a.n.g Lin, w.a.n.g Fuzhi told Ye Xiao that it was his son, w.a.n.g Lin, who was the first owner of the Sea Dragon Spear. He also told Ye Xiao how w.a.n.g Lin promised Sea Dragon Emperor to save his clan and after saving the Sea Dragon Clan, he was attacked by some people who coveted the Sea Dragon Spear.
His son fought a tough war and won in the end, but he knew that the matter of him having a Top Grade Immortal Weapon with a spirit, Sea Dragon Spear, has already spread far. Many people will not hunt him down.
That"s why he paid his life as the price and finally sealed the Sea Dragon Spear using the Three Style Life Seal.
w.a.n.g Fuzhi told Ye Xiao how his son sent the Sea Dragon Spear to him through some means and told him to look for a fated person and give him the Sea Dragon Spear.
The Sea Dragon Spear was related to his son"s death, that"s why he gave the Sea Dragon Spear to his best friend, the former patriarch of Tong Family, Tong Wuzhao, and told him the same thing his son told him.
Well, at that time, w.a.n.g Fuzhi had already fallen into a perilous situation. He was framed and was kicked out by the Alchemist a.s.sociation, and many people also started hunting him down.
In order to save him, Tong Wuzhao decided to bring w.a.n.g Fuzhi to the Lower Realm. but he was opposed by his family. To his side, only his granddaughter, Tong Nian stood. Then, he brought w.a.n.g Fuzhi along with Tong Nian to the Azure Sky Continent.
Tong Nian at that time was only eighty or so years old but she was already at the Early Stage of the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Talking about Tong Nian, w.a.n.g Fuzhi told Ye Xiao that Tong Nian is extremely beautiful, and to not attract anyone"s attention in the lower realm, she changed her appearance to an ordinary lady who worked at the Treasure Pavilion.
As for now, where Tong Nian is, w.a.n.g Fuzhi didn"t know. He only knew that his best friend, Tong Wuzhao returned to his family.
Well, these two people were the only exception whom Ye Xiao failed to find in the Second Test of the First Trial taken by Yuan Shi De, Yuan Bai He, and Pygon.
When he asked about them, w.a.n.g Fuzhi told Ye Xiao that Tong Nian and Tong Wuzhao, both belong to the Tong Family, one of the biggest families in a world called Great Sun Immortal World.
And Ye Xiao could only find out about them after visiting the Tong family in person.
After that, Ye Xiao and w.a.n.g Fuzhi talked about many things. Ye Xiao offered his master that he could help him kill his enemies but his master shook his head and rejected Ye Xiao"s offer. He told Ye Xiao that his enemies were his problem. And right now, Ye Xiao should focus on his cultivation and ascend to the Divine Realm.
When he will become someone with power even in the Divine Realm, at that time, it"ll not be late for Ye Xiao to come back and take w.a.n.g Fuzhi with him to the Divine Realm.
Ye Xiao sighed and could only agree with his master. But in his heart, he made a promise that he will restore the Sea Dragon Spear and gave it to someone worthy to continue the glory of Sea Dragon Spear.
He had memories of the Ancient G.o.d of Weapon Refinement, so it was not difficult for him to restore the Sea Dragon Spear.
After half a day, Ye Xiao returned to the mansion of the Third Princess and asked her to tell him about the location of the Ancient Ruin.
At first, the Third Princess directly refused Ye Xiao to tell him about its location but when Ye Xiao said that he will exchange the location of the Ancient Ruin with extremely rare material, the Third Princess hesitated but lastly, she brought Ye Xiao to meet her father, Yu Fanghao.
It turned out that a few days ago, Yu Lin had already told Yu Fanghao about the Ancient Ruin and its location. Yu Fanghao was currently organizing a team to enter the Ancient Ruin and explore it.
When Yu Lin brought Ye Xiao to Yu Fanghao and told him what Ye Xiao wanted, Yu Fanghao did not reject Ye Xiao, instead, he asked what material Ye Xiao wanted to exchange in order to enter the Ancient Ruin.
Ye Xiao had an entire mind of extremely rare material, Golden Flame Stone. He took out one Golden Flame Stone and gave it to Yu Fanghao.
As expected of an Ancient family, Yu Fanghao immediately recognized the golden Flame Stone and agreed to let Ye Xiao enter the Ancient Ruin along with the team he had organized.
.....
_Current Time, Inside the Ancient Ruin_
After teleporting inside to the Ancient Ruin, shaking his head, Ye Xiao stood up and looked around.
At this moment, he seemed to be deep in the mountains and forests. The sky was covered by flourishing leaves and tall mountains.
Ye Xiao flew up and was surprised to find that the gravity here was more than ten times higher than the outside. But it was nothing to him since he had already trained in ten times gravity on the Fourth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da.
When he flew in the sky, Ye Xiao found that the sky above the Ancient Ruin was in a misty state. It was as if there were many grey lights gathering together, and some changes were happening from time to time.
When he looked up at the void and saw the grey light that was constantly changing, Ye Xiao felt a heavy pressure. After looking at it for a long time, he started to feel dizzy.
Ye Xiao immediately flew down.
Although it was called an Ancient Ruin, it looked more like a Secret Realm. There was not a single trace of a ruin anywhere.
"Looks like I can"t look at the void of this Ancient Ruin for too long." Ye Xiao patted his head and muttered.
He released his Divine Sense and tried to look at his surroundings but then he felt his powerful Divine Sense being restricted because of some extremely powerful Divine Formation. Ye Xiao muttered to himself, "As expected, even my Divine Sense has been restricted."
"Forget it. I"ll just walk in a random direction for now."
As Ye Xiao walked in a random direction, he suddenly heard the voice of Queen inside his head. She said: "Ye Xiao, I can feel a very dense True Essence at the northwest point. If I"m not wrong, there should be a vein of Divine Stone."
"What?" Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks. Divine Stone Vein? He had just arrived in the Ancient Ruin and he had already discovered a Divine Stone Vein?
Of course, Ye Xiao knew what a Divine Stone was. Just like Spirit Stones and Immortal Stones, Divine Stones were also formed from the dense True Essence. It was also divided into three types, Low, Mid, and High Grades. And according to his guess, these stones must be used as the currency and cultivation resources by the Divine Beings in the Divine Realm.
Queen also told Ye Xiao that the vein was being guarded by a powerful Demonic Beast.
For some reason, inside the Ancient Ruin like this one and the Secret Realm, the demonic beasts and the outside world are like two parallel lines that do not interact with each other. Those beasts would never leave the Ancient Ruin or the secret realm for some reason.
According to Queen"s instructions, Ye Xiao quickly arrived at the place where the True Essence was extremely dense.
In this area, Ye Xiao found a few demonic beasts. These demonic beasts looked very strange. And each of them was different.
According to the strength of these strange demonic beasts, Ye Xiao guessed that this Divine Stone Vein should not be small in size.
He also has yet to see the guardian Demonic Beast of the Divine Stone Vein that Queen talked about.
