Human Clan Defender-Chapter 690 - s 51 to 52 Return to the Exiled Immortal Valley, Ancient Ruins (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_4

Surveying Heaven and Earth, he had never heard of such a strange and terrifying place. Shen Changqing even began to doubt. Even with my own strength, if I were to venture alone into that darkness, I might perish. And it was easy to imagine how mighty the one who left their legacy in such a place must have been.

After a while, Shen Changqing slowly said, "Coming directly from Exiled Immortal Valley to this place, we must have used some kind of teleportation method. If Great Qin could comprehend this technique, then no matter how vast the world, we could traverse it in a single day."

He had originally tasked the Demon Sealing Hall with researching teleportation methods. Unfortunately, there had been no news so far, and he wasn't sure if they would even succeed. But now, having entered the Ancient Ruins, he had discovered a means of spatial teleportation. If he could comprehend it himself, it would save him from waiting for the Demon Sealing Hall. Such techniques were always immensely useful. Strictly speaking, the Divine Skill Dusk Cangwu involved a type of spatial manipulation. However, it was entirely different compared to the technique at hand. It wasn't that Dusk Cangwu was inferior; rather, each had its own strengths.

"To comprehend such a technique is hardly an easy task," Yi Ning said noncommittally. Although he was somewhat curious about such techniques, he wasn't particularly interested in pursuing them. What he truly focused on was enhancing his own strength; everything else was insignificant to him.

Upon reaching the front of the great hall, Yi Ning embedded the bronze token into a notch. Very quickly, the sealed bronze doors of the great hall trembled lightly, then thundered open.

"Pavilion Master Shen, let's go!"

"Alright!"

Shen Changqing stopped looking at the surrounding darkness and walked into the hall with him.

The great hall opened, and a faint light radiated from within. Normally, in a place like this, hidden from the Sun and Moon and enveloped by darkness, there should be no light at all. Yet, the hall's interior seemed to be constructed from a different material. Within the hall, a faint glimmer of light was ever-present.

Looking around, the interior of the hall was extremely vast, making the two of them seem incredibly small within it. And to the left and right of the hall, corridors stretched out of sight.

Yi Ning looked at the hall, his expression serious. "This is the main hall of these Ancient Ruins. According to my conjecture, it should be the place where the Ancient Powerhouse who created the ruins would discuss matters and receive guests. The other corridors connect to the side halls. That's where the treasures are kept."

Shen Changqing nodded slightly. What Yi Ning said coincided with his own speculations. However, considering the vastness of this hall, the beings who once occupied it must have been enormous. The golden throne at the head of the hall alone resembled a small mountain. A normal person couldn't possibly sit in such a massive seat; otherwise, it would look completely disproportionate.

"Pavilion Master Yi, when you entered the ruins last time, what did you encounter that made you retreat?" Diverting his gaze from the throne, Shen Changqing turned to look at him.

Upon hearing this, Yi Ning didn't hide anything. "I entered the left side hall but was intercepted by a Puppet. That Puppet was very strong. According to your, Pavilion Master Shen's, Realm classification, its strength was likely close to the Heaven Being Level."

A Puppet at the Heaven Being Level, even the weakest, was comparable to a high-ranking Demon Evil. As for Yi Ning, a Martial Artist who hadn't broken through that particular barrier, he was only in the Extreme Realm—equivalent to merely a mid-ranking Demon Evil.

"Fortunately," Yi Ning continued, "that Puppet seemed to be under some restriction and couldn't leave its designated area. Otherwise, whether I could have escaped alive would have been questionable."

His face betrayed no lingering fear. For someone who constantly entered Ancient Ruins, enduring certain risks was inevitable. After all, countless powerhouses had perished encountering insurmountable dangers while exploring Ancient Ruins. The fact that he had made it out alive was fortunate enough.
