"Why is there a Ruler here? Judging from this aura, he's at most a mid-stage Ruler … "a Heavenly Venerate said in disbelief. He even suspected that he had sensed wrongly.
It was already very good for a Ruler to reach the depths of the Blue Dome's Lower Profound Realm. It was impossible for them to enter the Middle Profound Realm, let alone the depths of the Middle Profound Realm.
More importantly, this Ruler had far surpassed them and arrived behind the four Supreme Heavenly Venerate stone statues.
"Something's wrong!"
All the Heavenly Venerates realized that something was wrong.
"I understand now." The old man with the walking stick pondered for a moment, and a faint light flickered in his turbid eyes. "This Ruler should have a great relationship with the Immortal Divine Tablet, or rather, this ancient ruin."
"Do you remember that we came here in pursuit of a terrifying golden light?"
Empyrean Longruo instantly understood what he meant and said in surprise, "You're saying that the terrifying golden light specially brought this ruler to this place?"
The old man with the walking stick nodded. "That should be the case. Otherwise, there's no way to explain this scene." A hundred thoughts flashed through Heavenly Venerate Yanming's mind. "Senior, should we retreat? If it's as you said, then the purpose of these four statues should be to protect this Ruler junior here! If we force our way through, we'll go through.
If we go, we'll definitely be attacked by these four statues! "
The other Heavenly Venerates also thought of this point and agreed. "No!" The old man with the walking stick waved his hand and said with a sharp gaze, "We haven't reached the point where we have to retreat yet. The place where the Ruler's aura is coming from isn't very far from us. It's just behind the four statues. We just need to advance 200 feet.
We'll definitely be able to see the situation inside. It won't be too late for us to make plans then. "
A Heavenly Venerate immediately said, "Senior, let alone 200 feet, even 10 feet is filled with great danger! As long as we trigger these four statues, we won't be able to … "The old man with the walking stick interrupted him before he could finish." Your observation is too shallow. When we arrived here, the four statues only moved slightly and released a faint aura of pressure. We move on as long as we don't touch what they think is dangerous.
At a dangerous distance, they would not attack. Otherwise, they would have attacked long ago. "
The other Empyreans agreed with this point, but they still felt that the risk was far too great. There was simply no need to take the risk. The old man with the cane seemed to be aware of their thoughts. He said with a smile, "If the cultivator ahead is a Heaven Highness, then he's a Heaven Highness. Even if I'm only an early-stage Empyrean, I won't go there again. But there was only a mid-stage Ruler in front of them.
The four statues weren't there to protect the middle-stage Sovereign. Perhaps they had fallen into a deep slumber and couldn't do anything. Could it be that eleven of us peak Empyreans can't take down a single mid-stage Sovereign? "
Towards the end, he lowered his voice quite a bit, but when it fell into the ears of the other Empyreans, it was extremely loud and clear, causing their hearts to beat slightly faster.
"Senior, you're right!"
"Let's continue forward, but we have to test it out step by step."
"That's right! At this juncture, no one is allowed to act recklessly! "
The other Empyreans were all people with great courage, instantly coming to a decision.
"Follow me. We'll move in unison. If there's any trouble, we'll retreat immediately!"
The old man with the cane said as he channeled a supreme technique of the Dragon Race. Every meridian in his body turned into a dragon vein. Every drop of blood turned into dragon blood, causing his body to become unprecedentedly strong.
The other Empyreans also activated their secret techniques. They didn't release any aura, but their bodies were all covered in ancient divine light.
The eleven of them seemed to be connected mentally. They all raised their feet and took the same step forward.
After taking the first step, the four statues didn't react at all. The eleven of them heaved a sigh of relief, but they weren't in a rush to advance. After waiting for a few dozen breaths and seeing that there was still no reaction, they continued to take the first step.
To Empyreans, a distance of two hundred feet wasn't considered a distance at all. Normally, a single step could cover tens of thousands of feet, or even hundreds of thousands of feet.
But now, the distance of two hundred feet was extremely difficult for them. They were under great pressure, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.
Time passed bit by bit. After an hour, they had taken a new step. They were all pleasantly surprised.
They had already advanced two hundred feet, but the four stone statues still didn't react.
The old man with the cane, Empyrean Long Ruo, and the other Empyreans immediately looked forward.
At the end of their line of sight, they saw a hazy golden halo.
It was a golden altar with a radius of about 30 meters. In the middle of the altar, a beautiful woman was sitting cross-legged.
"That is …"
All of a sudden, their pupils shrank rapidly. This golden altar was extremely strange. It wasn't made of some kind of immortal stone, but formed of mysterious golden symbols. Moreover, these golden symbols seemed to be burned by heavenly fire, melting bit by bit, turning into wisps of golden light.
The light floated into the beautiful woman's eyes.
The entire process was silent, but they all felt a slight fluctuation at the same time. When the symbols melted bit by bit, they released a brand-new true essence, as well as an aura that surpassed that of Empyreans.
"These symbols …"
All the Empyreans' heartbeats began to accelerate, and their mouths were dry.
They seemed to be able to imagine what kind of power they would comprehend once these symbols merged into their bodies.
They didn't know what these golden symbols were, and they definitely couldn't let them directly break through to the Supreme Empyrean realm. However, one thing was certain, they could pry into the mysteries of the Supreme Empyrean realm in advance and obtain great benefits.
"Fellow Daoists, calm down! Let's continue forward! "
The old man with the cane took a light breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and transmitted his divine thought.
The other Empyreans immediately suppressed the emotions in their hearts and nodded at him.
They held their breaths and continued forward.
One step, two steps, three steps …
When they took the fifth step, the four silent stone statues suddenly shook, releasing a resplendent light. They seemed to have woken up from their eternal slumber, releasing a monstrous pressure.
"Not good! Retreat! "
