Magu confirmed that the phenomenon of the nine moons rising into the sky was related to the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy. She even revealed the reason for the phenomenon. Everyone was pleasantly surprised, as if they had eaten a tranquilizer. However, there were naturally some cultivators who still had doubts in their hearts. For example, how far had the Seeking Dragon Clan explored the secrets of the Ultimate Ruins? Where did they come up with the theory of the nine moons rising into the sky? Also, why would the Seeking Dragon Clan take the risk to explore the secrets of the nine moons rising into the sky before the phenomenon appeared?
Magu seemed to know what everyone was thinking. She explained in a calm voice, "My Seeking Dragon Clan knows the origin of the Nine Moons Rising Phenomenon, but we were never sure if it would truly appear. After all, the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy has been destroyed for countless years and no one is controlling the grand formation. Who knows why it would activate for no reason? Heh, let me put it this way. Before seeing the red moon rise into the sky, even I didn't believe that the Nine Moons Rising Phenomenon would appear. Perhaps it has appeared before, but it won't appear again in the future … "
After saying that, she sighed and said, "However, if my father had known that the phenomenon of the nine moons rising into the sky would really appear, he would not have chosen to enter the depths of the Ultimate forty years ago. Instead, he would have waited until now to enter the Ultimate to explore it!"
Hearing this, the cultivators sighed and believed Magu's words.
Right at this moment, the white clothed Grand Elder of the Moonreverence Clan asked in a light voice. "The dead are gone. Your father and clansmen did the impossible, yet their courage was admirable, and their will was worthy of praise. Which one of us cultivators doesn't know the principle of defying the heavens? Goddess Magu doesn't need to feel sad. I wonder how much the Seeking Dragon Clan knows about the depths of the Ultimate Ruins after exploring for thousands of years? "
Magu sighed softly and said, "Thank you, Senior Linglong. To be honest, I want to take advantage of the appearance of the Nine Moons Rising Phenomenon to fulfill my ancestor's wish and explore the depths of the Ultimate Ruins. However, the Seeking Dragon Clan doesn't have the power to do so, so the only way is to form an alliance with all of you. I will share everything that my father and ancestor have found in the Ultimate Ruins with you. However, there are some secrets that cannot be divulged in front of others. I hope that all of you can understand. What I can tell you now is the path to the depths of the Ultimate Ruins, the lair of powerful fierce beasts, the method to avoid the spatial turbulence, the secret path around the Dark Lightning Marsh, and the method to break the remnant grand formation on the periphery of the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy.
Magu suddenly paused. Behind the veil of the bamboo hat, a pair of beautiful eyes swept across the crowd and softly said, "Before Magu is confident of bringing everyone to the ruins of the Taishang Daoism, all you need to consider is how to enter the secret place …"
"Really?"
"Goddess Magu isn't lying to us, right?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't the Daoist Scripture be a piece of cake?"
"Is there a way to leave the Ultimate Ruins in the secret place?"
Magu's words seemed to have ignited a huge barrel of gunpowder. Countless voices rose and fell one after another.
The cultivators were worried about how to enter the depths of the Ultimate Ruins while being surrounded by fierce beasts, spatial turbulence, and the Dark Lightning Marsh. They didn't expect Magu to tell them all in one breath. What else was there to worry about? Once the nine moons rose and the grand formation of the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy was closed, wouldn't the cultivators be able to directly enter the interior of the orthodoxy?
On the other hand, the Great Elders of the Fengtian Clan, Yushou Clan, and Reverence Moon Clan frowned.
They were all experienced people, so they didn't believe that such a good thing would happen to them out of nowhere. Instead, they began to doubt it.
As expected, Magu said softly after everyone stopped asking questions, "I only said that I'm confident that I can bring everyone to the ruins, but I didn't say that I can bring everyone there safely. In fact, this path is extremely dangerous. Perhaps a startled seventh rank fierce beast could wipe us all out … I can't guarantee that no accidents will happen!"
The joy in the cultivators' hearts was extinguished. They calmed down slightly.
The Great Elders of the Fengtian Clan, Yushou Clan, and Reverence Moon Clan nodded inwardly. They felt that this was more reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Magu glanced at the crowd and said, "There's one more question that I would like to ask all of you. For the Longseeking Clan, it's not difficult to enter the depths of the Ultimate Ruins or even reach the ruins of the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy. The most difficult thing is how to pass through the Gate of the Four Beasts in front of the ruins. If we don't solve this problem, I'm afraid we'll have to return empty-handed!"
"Gate of the Four Beasts?"
This was the first time most of the cultivators heard of this name, so they were immediately startled.
Someone asked, "Fairy Magu, didn't you say that the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy's grand formation would open? What's with this Gate of the Four Beasts? "
Magu sighed softly and explained, "The Gate of the Four Beasts has nothing to do with the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy's grand formation. It's only the entrance to the ruins of the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy. When the nine moons rise into the sky, the grand formation within the ruins of the Supreme Daoist Sect will be opened. It's equivalent to having a distinguished guest in our clan, and we'll open the door to welcome him in. However, this method of opening the formation will only open this path at the entrance of the sect, and the other places will instead be even more dangerous. The entrance in front of the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy is the Gate of the Four Beasts. It's said that before the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy suffered a calamity, the blood of the ancient Four Beasts drenched the entrance. For many years, the vengeful spirits of the Four Beasts have been lingering on the entrance. Anyone who approaches the entrance will be cursed by the Gate of the Four Beasts. Losing their soul and cultivation would be considered a light punishment … "
At this point, her tone became slightly solemn, "The ancestors of my Dragon Seeking Clan have explored the secret grounds in the depths of the Ultimate Ruins countless times. According to the records, they've reached the entrance of the Gate of the Four Beasts several times, but they all failed. Countless clansmen died. Left with no choice, they gave up on the idea of entering the ruins through the entrance. Instead, they considered entering the ruins through other paths. However, it's a pity that the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy's grand formation is too profound. Our Dragon Seeking Clan is the best at breaking the formation, but we haven't made any progress even after thousands of years of research …"
After Magu appeared, she didn't hide anything and gained the trust of the cultivators. Hearing her solemn tone, even the Fengtian Clan's Great Elder asked with a solemn expression, "Since Fairy Magu mentioned this gate, do you have a way to break it?"
"There wasn't originally!"
Magu said softly, "The Four Beasts of the Primordial Era are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They are the four most powerful beasts. How could the forbidden spell cast by the Supreme Daoist Orthodoxy be so easily broken? The ancestors of my Dragon Seeking Clan once obtained the blood essence of a hundred beasts, but they couldn't dispel the evil aura on the gate. They were at their wits' end and gave up on entering the ruins through the Gate of the Four Beasts. Even our ancestors couldn't do anything, so how could I? However, perhaps it's the will of the heavens. During the rare phenomenon of the nine moons rising into the sky, Magu heard a piece of news. A True Dragon has appeared in the Ultimate Ruins! "
"Hmm?"
When the cultivators heard this, they all looked at Magu in astonishment. For a moment, no one spoke.
Fang Xing, who was hiding at the edge of the Immortal Ascension Plateau and eavesdropping on Magu's words, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and his brows raised.
"There's a True Dragon in the Ultimate Ruins?"
The Reverence Moon Clan's Great Elder asked in surprise.
Some of the smaller clans whispered to each other in astonishment as if it was the first time they heard of it.
On the other hand, the Fengtian Clan and the Imperial Beast Clan's Great Elders wore solemn expressions. They seemed to have known about it for a long time.
Fang Xing knew about it. After he and the red dragon entered the Ultimate Ruins, he went into seclusion for two years. During these two years, the red dragon had been guarding the area and never strayed far. There were some powerful beasts in the area, so no one went to check on them. Even the Heaven Hatred Clan, which was closest to the place, didn't find any traces of the red dragon. Later on, when he joined the Heaven Hatred Clan, they didn't want to spread the news about the red dragon. They forbade their clansmen from spreading the news, so the news was suppressed.
Speaking of which, not many people in the Ultimate Ruins knew about the red dragon. However, the Fengtian Clan and the Imperial Beast Clan were close to the Heaven Hatred Clan and had a grudge against each other. They must have planted many spies in each other, so it wasn't surprising that they knew about the red dragon.
However, what Fang Xing didn't understand was why the woman from the Dragon Seeking Clan mentioned the red dragon.
"What do you mean, Fairy Ma?"
The Fengtian Clan's Great Elder spoke softly and asked the question on Fang Xing's mind.
Magu said softly, "If we want to break the curse on the Door of the Four Perils, we can only use the blood of beasts as a sacrifice. The ancestors of the Dragon Seeking Clan tried to use the blood of hundreds of beasts as a sacrifice, but they didn't succeed. From then on, our ancestors understood that the Door of the Four Perils can't be broken with the blood of ordinary beasts. To succeed, we need the blood of one of the four perils …"
The Fengtian Clan's Great Elder and the Imperial Beast Clan's Great Elder's eyes flashed when they heard this. They seemed to be tempted.
Magu's tone was light and calm. She said slowly, "So, if we want to explore the Ultimate Ruins, we must find the red dragon. If we don't have the blood of the dragon as a sacrifice, I'm afraid that even if we reach the depths of the Ultimate Ruins, we will follow in the footsteps of our ancestors in front of the Dao Palace. We don't need to waste so much manpower and resources to venture into the depths of the Ultimate Ruins. What do you think, seniors?"
For a moment, no one spoke on the mountaintop. There was only the gentle night breeze. However, Fang Xing, who was hiding in the dark, had already clenched his fists.
