Chapter 288 – Ruins of the Golden Tripod Sect, The First to Enter

“This is ……?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both taken aback.

The two looked at each other.

Before they could react, a red light suddenly shot out from that silver-colored card and fell into the large thick fog in front of them.

In an instant, the thick fog began to roll violently.

Gradually, a clear road was suddenly revealed about ten to twenty meters in front of them.

The two of them once again looked at each other.

This time, they did not hesitate and quickly stepped into the path.

After walking forward for more than ten meters, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan instantly realized that whenever they were about to lose sight of the road ahead, the silver card in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand would shoot out a red light, draining all the dense fog in front of them.

Although they didn’t particularly understand what the principle of this was, the two of them didn’t stop their footsteps at all.

Just like that, the two of them kept walking forward for a long time.

Just when they thought that they would just keep on walking, the dense fog in front of them suddenly just emptied.

With that, what appeared in front of them was a simple and ancient stone door.

On top of the stone door, there were countless arcane and complex formations engraved on it.

It emitted an extremely majestic and ferocious aura.

People did not doubt that once someone wanted to break through this stone door, those formations above the stone door would surely rain down incomparably terrifying attacks.

Buzz!
It was at this moment that the silver-colored card in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand suddenly shot out a red light once again, and then it landed on top of that stone door.

Kaka-kaka…

Above the stone door, a series of sounds of organs turning immediately came out.

Immediately afterward, those formations on it lit up in unison as if they had been connected to a power source.

Rumble!
Accompanied by a loud sound, that one stone door finally slowly opened, and then a deep passageway was revealed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other.

The two of them hesitated for just a moment, and then together, they stepped into the deep passageway.

Just as the couple formally entered the stone door, a figure with a strong aura was rapidly heading towards the sea of the Ten Thousand Star Sea’s Bent Corner Cliff.

The weakest cultivation level of the owners of these auras were all above the fourth level of the Jindan.

The costumes they wore varied.

Among them were the YuanYing Immortal Clan’s Cao Clan from Yu Prefecture, the YuanYing Immortal Clan’s Liu Clan from Hai Prefecture, and the YuanYing Immortal Clan’s Lu Clan from Northern Lu Prefecture.

The leader of each of these families had all reached the False Infant realm in cultivation.

Their breath was so majestic that they could easily kill ordinary Jindan cultivators.

At this moment.

A group of cultivators from the Cao family were transmitting their voices to each other.

He heard Cao Xuan Guang say, “Seventh Uncle, this time, if our Cao Family calls that Liu Family and the Lu Family together, will it be too cheap for them?
In case the two of them join together and specifically target our Cao Family at that time, what should we do then?”

The middle-aged man that Cao Xuan Guang had called the seventh uncle was precisely the person leading their Cao Family this time.

Named Cao Xiuchun, False Infant Realm.

At this moment, when he heard Cao Xuan Guang’s words, he immediately shook his head.

“Xuan Guang, you should be clear that if our Cao Family, wants to enter the cave ruins left behind by that Golden Cauldron Sect, we must find a sufficient number of Silver Text Fragments.

However, after so many years, our Cao Family has practically utilized all the power we can muster, and we have only managed to find three Silver Text Fragments.

If this time continues to drag on like this, there is no guarantee that the Golden Tripod Sect’s cave ruins won’t be discovered by someone else and thus get there first.

As it happens, in the hands of the Liu Family and the Lu Family, there are two Silver Text Fragments each, and together, there are seven Silver Text Fragments, just enough to fulfill the conditions for opening the Golden Tripod Sect’s cave ruins.

As for waiting until our three families, after entering that Golden Cauldron Gate Cave Ruins ……”

Speaking at this point, Cao Xiu Chun couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“Cultivators of my generation, everything is based on profit first.

At that time, if we really find something good, do you think that Liu Lu and his two families will really be able to join together?

In other words, when the time comes, why would it only be their Liu and Lu families that join together, and not our Cao and Liu families, or Cao and Lu families?”

As he spoke, the speed of the group of people was like floating light.

About a few days later.

Cultivators from the Cao, Liu, and Lu families were already in front of the sea of the Bent Corner Cliffs in unison.

Looking at the environment in front of him, which was completely shrouded in gusts of dense fog, Cao Xiu Chun couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the people leading the Liu and Lu families.

Two cultivators who had also reached the False Infant realm.

Liu Wanli and Lu Xingyun.

“Brother Wanli, Brother Nebula, now that all three of you and I have arrived here, if we want to enter that Golden Cauldron Sect Cave Ruins before a specific time arrives, I’m afraid that the three of us, you and I, will have to join forces together to do so.”

As he spoke, he saw three silver text fragments appear in Cao Xiu Chun’s hand.

That is, the fragments of that silver-colored card.

Seeing this, Liu Wanli and Lu Xingyun looked at each other.

Liu Wanli laughed.

“Brother Xiu Chun is right.”

With that, he similarly reached out and flipped his hand.

Two silver text fragments appeared in his hand.

To the side, Lu Xingyun similarly took out the two Silver Text Fragments he had on him at this time.

The seven Silver Text Fragments appeared at the same time, and between each other, a resonance was instantly formed.

On each of them, a hint of light red light began to emanate.

A hint of scorching temperature even rose on the surface.

However, both the red light emanating from it and the temperature rising from it were much weaker than the silver card Jiang Chengxuan and the others had.

At that moment, the three of them were seen pointing the silver text fragments in their respective hands towards the thick fog in front of them.

Buzz!
At the same time, the seven silver text fragments that resonated with each other, the light was suddenly instantly strung together, eventually shooting out a light red light towards that piece of dense fog.

In an instant, the thick fog suddenly began to become thinner.

Vaguely, it was already able to roughly see the road five or six meters ahead.

Cao Xiu Chun, Liu Wanli, and Lu Xingyun exchanged glances.

Each of them nodded individually to each other.

Afterward, they led their own cultivators together and stepped onto the path that revealed its shape.

Tap-tap-tap-

Just like that, it kept going forward for an unknown amount of time.

In front of the group, an ancient stone door suddenly appeared.

On the surface of the stone door, countless arcane and complex formations were imprinted, and it emitted an aura that made everyone’s hearts tremble.

Even with the strength of Cao Xiu Chun, Liu Wan Li, and Lu Xing Yun, they could not help but feel very small when facing this stone door.

As if at any moment, may encounter life-threatening general.

“The two of you, strike together.”

Then he saw Cao Xiu Chun’s hand, once again taking out those three silver text fragments.

Seeing this, Liu Wanli and Lu Xingyun beside him also each took out the silver text fragments on their respective bodies.

The three of them then urged their mana together and injected it into the silver text fragments.

Buzz!
In an instant, the seven silver text fragments resonated with each other once again, and then the seven pale red rays of light connected with each other and shot out a pale red light towards that stone door in front of them.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this instant, the formation texts on top of the stone door all flashed with a blinding light, startling Cao Xiu Chun’s group of people, who all subconsciously retreated a few steps.

Ka ka ka…

At the same time, inside the stone door, a series of sounds of organs bouncing suddenly came out.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, a crack opened up in the ancient stone door.

Judging by its size, it could only allow one person to pass through at most.

Seeing this, Cao Xiu Chun’s group of people couldn’t help but all show a touch of hesitation on their faces.

For a time, no one dared to enter first at all.

Seeing that time was passing bit by bit.

That originally opened stone door, even vaguely have signs of closing again.

Only then did Cao Xiu Chun, Liu Wan Li, and Lu Xing Yun’s three cultivators not dare to continue delaying.

Gritting their teeth, the group of people entered the stone door in turn.

Rumble!

Just as a group of them, could enter the moment, the entire stone door was suddenly a loud bang, actually closed up again.

“Well ……?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were located in front of a teleportation array, suddenly turned their heads in unison.

Both of them couldn’t help but frown.

Only to hear Shen Ruyan say, “Husband, it seems like some other people have come in.”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“Let’s go, since someone has already come in, it’s all the more important for you and I to speed up.”

These days.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan explored within this cave and already knew the origin of this cave.

This place was a top-tier YuanYing sect called the Golden Cauldron Sect in ancient times.

At its peak, there were as many as ten great cultivators at the ninth level of the YuanYing Sect.

The number of True Lords at the seventh or eighth level of YuanYing, as well as at the middle and early stages of YuanYing, was even greater.

However, this is such a top-level YuanYing sect, but in an unknown disaster, it was destroyed.

Only left behind such a separate residence, as the opportunity to rise again.

Unfortunately, long years passed.

The Golden Cauldron Sect, a top Yuan Ying Sect in the ancient times, had long since become history.

This other mansion, which served as an opportunity for the Golden Cauldron Sect to make a comeback in the east, also seemed to have never been opened before they came in.

This, in turn, was a bargain for those of them who came after them.

The couple explored down these days.

They had harvested no less than double digits of fourth-order spirit medicines and precious materials.

On top of that, they had also obtained a large collection of techniques within the Golden Cauldron Sect in a place that looked like a secret room.

Among them was a gold technique called the Golden Sky Light Breaking Technique, which had even reached the fifth rank.

If this technique was put outside, it would definitely cause countless people to fight over it.

Even YuanYing True Lords would be moved by it.

However, now it had all become Jiang Chengxuan’s harvest.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the things they’ve gotten right now are already worth the trip.

But they knew better, the real good stuff should still be in the deeper part of the mansion.

The previous ones were just some appetizers.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan took out some medium grade spirit stones from his own body, and then placed them in order into the teleportation array in front of him.

Buzz!
In an instant, the Teleportation Formation, which was still in a state of silence, immediately erupted with a flash of white light that wrapped around Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan in the blink of an eye.

A dizzying sensation came.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked again, they realized that at this moment, they were actually in a place that looked like a ring.

Tap-tap-tap-

Just at the same time, clear footsteps came.

The couple hurriedly turned their heads to look, and their pupils immediately shrunk.

They saw that not far away from them, two people were slowly walking.

To be more accurate, they should be two puppets that had reached the fourth rank grade.

All of them were humanoid in appearance.

And they were also a man and a woman.

When they came within about ten meters of the two, the light in their eyes suddenly turned into color.

Boom!
Two attacks originating from the Yuan Shen level were openly attacking Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s sea of consciousness.

One was a golden blade and the other was a golden sword.

It seemed to split the two people’s sea of consciousness in two.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were all startled.

They hadn’t really thought that this puppet would even know how to attack the Yuan Shen.

It should be known that things like organ beasts and puppets didn’t have any self-awareness at all, so naturally, they couldn’t talk about anything like Yuan Shen.

But right now, these two puppets, they had managed to perform Yuan Shen attacks that even many Jindan cultivators would not know how to perform.

It was simply an eye-opening experience for the duo.

How in the world did this happen?
All sorts of thoughts flashed through their minds, but the couple’s movements were not slow at all.

In their respective sea of consciousness, they all visualized the Yuan Shen method that each of them cultivated.

One was a brilliant and vast sun, and the other was a deity that flashed with thunder.

Two puffs were heard.

Sounds originating from the level of divine consciousness rang out.

That blade and sword both melted and shattered under the Vast Sun and Thunder Deities that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had transformed into.

Brush! Brush!
At the same time.

The two puppets that were originally still standing in place, their figures suddenly blurred.

By the time they reappeared, they were already to the left and right of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Cluck-cluck-cluck-

The arms of the two puppets transformed into golden knives and golden swords, and they fell down on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

The sharp wind directly cut a huge gully into the ground where both sides were.

Two sounds were heard.

Jiang Chengxuan’s Gengjin Void Sword, as well as Shen Ruyan’s Five Thunders Immortal Chopper Sword, collided with that blade and sword respectively, and immediately stirred up extremely piercing sparks.

The couple immediately glanced at each other, and from each other’s eyes, they once again saw a flash of surprise.

Obviously, the strength displayed by these two puppets just now was already no less than that of an ordinary Jindan fourth layer cultivator.

If the Divine Sense attack they had just displayed was also counted.

Ordinary Jindan fourth layer cultivators, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be a match for them.

There was no more opportunity given to the two puppets to perform.

The divine and superlative Jindan within the couple’s bodies shook in unison.

In the next moment, terrifying mana like mountains and seas immediately surged out.

Only two sounds of giggling were heard.

Jiang Chengxuan’s Gengjin Void Sword, as well as Shen Ruyan’s Five Thunders Immortal Cutting Sword, had indeed pierced into the two puppets’ brow centers in unison, completely destroying their cores.
