Chapter 124 - Ruins of an Ancient Sect
Chapter 124: Ruins of an Ancient Sect
At the quicksand domain.
Over the depths of quicksand that no one had ever touched before, two figures slowly walked over.
It was Su Xing and the young girl Xue Jian!
The two of them stepped over the white marble bridge on the quicksand. After walking for about an hour, they had successfully walked out of the quicksand region.
When their feet stepped on the ground again, the scene before them was no longer the monotonous scenery of the fierce wind and yellow sand.
The breeze blew, the clear sky was ten thousand miles wide, the blue sky and white clouds.
It was a beautiful scene, like a paradise.
The breeze blew through the dense vegetation, like a wave, rolling into the distance. It was very spectacular.
On both sides of the lush vegetation, there was a green brick road about a hundred feet long that extended into the distance.
Su Xing suddenly let out a soft exclamation!
Perhaps it was an illusion, but the spiritual energy in the air here was a little denser than in the barren desert.
Xue Jian was very excited. It seemed that this was not her first time coming in.
“Brother Su Xing, this is the bridge we came in from. Can you see it?”
“Hehe! Xue Jian can see it!”
“And here, I call it the house of Xue Jian. Isn’t it nice?”
The greenery that Xue Jian had referred to was a very rare elixir. Its scientific name was snowflakes grass, and it was rare to see it in the outside world.
Such a large area of snowflakes grass, if one were to compare it to the Blackheaven Sword Sect’s hundred years of resources, it would be enough.
But he did not come here to pick spiritual herbs.
Su Xing was somewhat unmoved.
Snowflakes grass? Snowflakes grass!
Could it be that this girl, Xue, got her name from this place? Xue meant snow after all.
Su Xing smiled and asked the question in his heart.
“Wow! Brother Su Xing, how did you know? This is the origin of Xue Jian’s name!”
“How is it? Isn’t it nice?”
“Yes! It’s very nice! It’s also quite nice.”
Xue Jian’s face turned red when she heard that.
She did not know whether Su Xing was referring to her or the spirit herbs!
Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something as she looked straight into the distance.
“What’s wrong, Xue Jian?”
Su Xing followed her gaze and looked into the distance. Other than the endless snowflake grass, there was nothing else!
At this moment, Xue Jian opened her mouth, but her eyes were still staring into the distance.
“Brother Su Xing, I feel like there’s something inside that wants me to go over, but I’ve been here many times and I’ve never been inside before.”
Su Xing: “? ? ?”
Looking at the girl fiddling with the corner of her clothes, Su Xing came to a realization.
He guessed that Xue Xue must have been worried about the danger inside, so she had been wandering exclusively outside. Even if she knew there was something inside, she did not dare to step there.
After all, she was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, so it was normal for her to have some respect for the unknown!
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded again.
“Beep, beep!”
“System notification, host has entered the Ancient Sect ruins!”
When Su Xing heard the system notification, his eyes flashed.
Ancient Sect ruins?
This was actually the ruins of an Ancient Sect!
When he heard the mention of a Sect’s ruins, Su Xing’s first reaction was the word ‘opportunity’.
Once the news of the existence of an Ancient Sect’s ruins in the quicksand region spread out, the entire Eastern Wastelands cultivation world would fall into a frenzy.
Sect ruins were often accompanied by the birth of countless opportunities, cultivation techniques! Pills! Heavenly materials and Earthly treasures!
These were all truths that had been summed up from the past.
The last time a thousand-year-old sect ruins was discovered, it almost caused the ten great sects to fall into a chaotic battle, and that was only a thousand-year-old sect.
The system actually said that there was an Ancient Sect ruin here. Did that not mean that Su Xing was going to have a stroke of luck?
“Brother Su Xing, what’s wrong?”
After walking for a while, Xue Jian turned around and saw Su Xing standing there in a daze, so she quickly turned back.
After all, she did not dare to go in alone.
“Ahem! Nothing, I suddenly found something interesting!”
Su Xing calmed himself down and looked around again.
This time, he opened the purple demon eyes with all his strength and finally found something unusual.
The world in the quicksand domain was actually the inside of a giant array!
After tens of millions of years, the scenery here had not been eroded by the outside world. It was also because of the protection of an array.
Xue saw that this girl’s luck was really not ordinary. She had actually found an Ancient Sect ruins by accident.
When he heard that she had barged in because she was chasing after a wild rabbit, Su Xing’s expression became increasingly strange.
Perhaps this was the daughter of Fate itself!
At this time, Su Xing also discovered that the air-restricting power had disappeared. He grabbed Xue Jian by the waist and flew in the direction of the road.
He could not wait to see the splendor of this Ancient Sect!
Flying in the air was naturally much faster than walking. Soon, the scene in front of him changed.
The snowflake grass that was originally covered by his sight had disappeared. The first thing that came into his sight instead was a huge square that was about a few thousand feet in size.
Further in front of the square was a grand hall. The door of the hall was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and it seemed to be telling the story of his glory in the past.
And the three big words on the plaque on the gate of the hall attracted Su Xing’s attention.
“– Zhen Wu Grand Hall!”
“Wow! This is what it looks like inside. Xue Jian has never entered before, and it doesn’t look that scary!”
Xue Jian looked around curiously, and his bright eyes were filled with the spirit of adventure.
“This sect should have been an extremely powerful force in its heyday. I have to say that time is truly the biggest killer in this world. No matter how powerful you are, tens of millions of years will eventually pass by at the end of Time!”
Looking at the empty surroundings, Su Xing could not help but sigh.
Seeing that Xue was waiting on the spot, he planned to look around and prepare for the upcoming tribulation!
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“Brother Su Xing, I’m afraid. Can you not leave me alone?”
Uh…
The situation here was unclear. It was indeed inappropriate for him to leave this girl alone. Moreover, she could already use the air-controlling technique at this time. It was not a big deal to bring someone along anyway.
“Then you have to hold on tight!”
As soon as his voice said that, the two of them rode the wind and flew high into the sky.
Su Xing brought Xue Jian and flew over the great hall, carefully checking the situation around them!
Looking down from high above, many ancient buildings appeared behind the square and the Great Hall.
Looking carefully, rows and rows of neatly arranged pavilions and more pavilions rose up from the ground. The layout was very ingenious.
Su Xing could even feel a vague Taoist charm from them.
These buildings were very different from the current architectural style. More than that, there was a hint of sharpness in them. The towering buildings were like long swords!
They stood tall and straight to the sky!
The strange thing was that there was not a single person in the buildings or on the road!
Everywhere was quiet and empty, like a dead city!
Xue whom had been chattering non-stop along the way also fell into silence for some reason.
Only the sound of air being torn apart could be heard, and the sound of their spiritual energy barrier rubbing against the air reverberated in the sky.
Su Xing naturally had not come here to enjoy the scenery. He took a quick look around and then hurried to explore other places.
A moment later.
They came to a conclusion that there was not a single living thing here.
How could this be?
What kind of change could have caused such a huge city to become like this?
Su Xing fell into deep thought.
