Along the way, they didn't move quickly. Perhaps because Jian Wushuang was only a fourth-level ruler, the three of them didn't guard against him too much. Thus, after a few exchanges, they became familiar with each other.
Jian Wushuang gradually learned the identities of the three from their conversations. The old man was called the Water Shaman Overlord. He was a veteran ultimate ruler who had lived through dozens of chaos cycles. In terms of strength, he was also a peak ultimate ruler and was much stronger than the Star Ruler and the Constellation Ruler.
The young man and young woman were his disciples. The young man was called Ran Gu and the young woman was called Qingxi.
The three of them came from a remote star domain and could be considered an overlord in that star domain. However, when placed in the Grand Luo Ruins, they were clearly not enough. To them, it was good to be able to obtain an opportunity in the Grand Luo Ruins. Even if they couldn't obtain it, the Water Shaman Overlord could still bring his disciples to see the world.
Originally, the Water Shaman Overlord had brought a total of three disciples. However, a hundred years ago, his eldest disciple was tragically killed by a team of ultimate rulers from a top faction in the ruins. It was this unforeseen event that made the Water Shaman Overlord realize his own shortcomings. Thus, he planned to seek refuge with the famous Nine Calamity King in the ruins.
However, based on Jian Wushuang's understanding of the Nine Calamity King, these people's plans were likely to fall through.
"Blood Sword, right now, there are many factions in the ruins. Rulers like you and us who have no background have no place at all. If we don't seek refuge with a faction, it will only become harder and harder for us to survive." The young man called Ran Gu lowered his head and sighed.
Perhaps because they saw that Jian Wushuang was also alone and didn't have a high cultivation base, the young man called Ran Gu couldn't help but sympathize with him.
Jian Wushuang smiled slightly and didn't refute. Instead, he agreed and replied, "Overlord Ran Gu is right."
Pausing for a moment, Jian Wushuang changed the topic and asked, "Hegemon Ran Gu, I've only been in the Tai Luo Ruins for a short while. May I ask what's the situation inside the ruins?"
Hegemon Ran Gu thought for a moment before replying, "As the number of treasures in the ruins dwindles, the competition for them has become increasingly fierce. Because those solitary experts are alone, it's very difficult for them to continue exploring the ruins unless they're extremely powerful. Now, most of these solitary experts have banded together and formed their own camps."
"There are quite a number of these camps. At the very least, they all have near invincible level Ultimate Sovereigns. However, on the whole, there are still five great camps within these ancient remains."
"Five camps?" Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected the Tai Luo Ruins to change so quickly in the thousand years he'd been gone. The competition for opportunities had reached the point where all sides had to join forces and form camps.
Jian Wushuang didn't know that all of this had to do with the fact that he'd killed the sword spirit of the Tai Luo Sword. Previously, the appearance of treasures in the ruins had seemed random, but in fact, it had been deliberately arranged by the sword spirit of the Tai Luo Sword to find a perfect target for possession.
Now that he'd killed the sword spirit of the Tai Luo Sword, there naturally wouldn't be any new treasures.
"These five camps are all extremely powerful. Currently, the camp led by the Blood Sky Hall ranks first. Since the Battle of Windy Sun Canyon a thousand years ago, they've sent another four Blood Abyss Envoys to the Tai Luo Ruins. Adding the five from before, there's a total of nine Blood Abyss Envoys. When these nine Blood Abyss Envoys join forces, no one in the ruins is a match for them."
"Ranked second is the camp led by the Great Feng Divine Nation, who arrived a few hundred years ago. Their leader is the Third Prince of the Great Feng Divine Nation! He's an invincible expert of the Ultimate Dominator Realm! "
When he mentioned the Great Feng Divine Nation, Sovereign Ran Gu's eyes flashed with a bone-deep hatred. Qing Xi's face darkened when she heard this. Her voice was slightly choked with sobs as she said, "Senior brother was killed by the Third Prince because he accidentally blocked the path of the Great Feng Divine Nation."
Jian Wushuang fell silent. The path of cultivation had always been cruel, especially in the Tai Luo Ruins where there were no rules or restrictions. Death was even more common.
Although the Water Shaman leading the way didn't say anything, his fists were clenched slightly.
The reason he wanted to join the Nine Tribulations King and stay in the ruins was because he still wanted revenge, even though the chances were slim.
Hegemon Ran Gu took a deep breath and continued, "Ranked third is the camp led by the Nine Tribulations King. The Nine Tribulations King is publicly acknowledged as the strongest Hegemon in the ruins. Logically speaking, he could easily become the strongest Hegemon in the ruins. Unfortunately, the Nine Tribulations King is too proud and aloof to associate himself with others. Apart from an ultimate Hegemon called the Green Peak Divine Marquis, he hasn't taken in anyone else."
"However, I've recently heard that the Nine Tribulations King has plans to expand his influence. That's why my master, junior sister, and I want to try joining him."
"There are still two factions left: the Silver Roc Ruler and the King of Southern Subjugation of the Great Sun Divine Kingdom. The Silver Roc Ruler is slightly weaker than the Nine Tribulations King and the Third Prince of Great Feng, but because his strength isn't too heaven-defying and he doesn't have much of a background, many solitary experts in the Grand Luo ruins are more willing to join his camp."
"After all, the leaders of the previous few camps are too powerful. If there's a heaven-defying opportunity, eighty percent of it will go to the leader. However, the Silver Roc Ruler is different. His battle prowess isn't the strongest among ultimate rulers. If you join his camp and find a great opportunity, the Silver Roc Ruler won't be able to keep it for himself. He'll have to share it with everyone."
"That's why the Silver Roc Sovereign has so many Sovereigns under his command. The few of us originally planned to join him, but he has too many Sovereigns under his command. Our strength isn't enough for him to care about."
"As for the South Vanquishing King, it's said that his influence suffered a great setback a thousand years ago at the Wind Yang Canyon. He's been hiding his strength ever since, so there's no need to mention him."
Jian Wushuang nodded. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the Azure Peak Divine Marquis was with the Nine Tribulations King.
After chatting for a while, Qing Xi's mood returned to normal. She joked, "Blood Sword, you're quite bold. You're only a fourth-level ruler, yet you dare to come to the Tai Luo Ruins."
Jian Wushuang smiled and replied, "Before I came, I didn't expect the ruins to be so dangerous."
