Fang Xing was so shocked that he almost broke out in a cold sweat, especially when these two people appeared so silently that he didn't even notice them. It could be seen that their cultivation levels were much higher than his. He almost ran away, but it was only a moment of shock. He scanned them with his Divine Sense and realized what was going on. He found it funny that those two people had no signs of life. They were actually dead.
But why were the corpses standing? Why did they look like they were running?
Seeing that there was no danger around him, he quietly moved forward and carefully examined them.
He saw that one of the two people was a man in his forties or fifties and the other was a woman in her thirties. The man was wearing linen clothes and straw shoes. His attire was similar to Magu's servants. The woman's attire was similar to Magu's. It seemed that these two people were most likely members of the Dragon Seeking Clan. It was just that he didn't know why they died here.
Carefully sizing them up, Fang Xing was even more puzzled in his heart. There was not the slightest injury on the surface of their bodies, but the souls in their bodies had completely dissipated, and there was still a panicked expression on their faces. It seemed that in an instant, their souls had been frightened away by someone, leaving only an empty shell here, and they still maintained their running posture. It was unknown how many years had passed, but it had never changed.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing carefully examined the two people and thought to himself, "Magu once said that an ancestor of the Dragon Seeking Clan entered the Dao Palace and even took out the Vermillion Bird's egg. Unfortunately, that time they entered, they were completely annihilated. Only her father escaped with the Vermillion Bird's egg. These two people must be her clansmen. However, from the appearance of these two people, they didn't die from restrictions, swords, or even spells. It was as if they lost their souls in an instant. Could it be that there are other unknown dangers here besides the restrictions and the remnants of the chaotic array? "
In a place like this, Fang Xing didn't dare to be careless. Seeing that the two people's deaths were unusual, he stopped and carefully sensed.
He had cultivated the Supreme Spirit-Transforming Scripture. Although he had yet to master it, his divine sense was far stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He could even sense the divine sense of a Golden Core Mahayana Cultivator. As he spread his divine sense out, he immediately sensed all the changes in his surroundings. However, he sensed nothing but emptiness and emptiness. There was nothing out of the ordinary …
"Strange …"
Fang Xing frowned. He temporarily put aside the idea of exploring this unknown danger and circled the two people.
"Hmm, they've been dead for who knows how many years, but their appearances haven't changed at all.
They're just a little dehydrated … "Fang Xing muttered in his heart. He felt more and more surprised. His gaze swept to the waists of the two people, but his heart skipped a beat. He reached out and untied their storage bags. Since these two people could enter the Supreme Dao Palace, it meant that the Dragon Seeking Clan's exploration of the Ultimate had reached an amazing level. There might be something valuable in their storage bags.
He took it in his hand and was about to open it to take a look when a thin wind suddenly blew around him.
Fang Xing suddenly became alert, "This place is isolated from the world, how can there be wind?"
He immediately looked up and saw that in the distance, there was a faint whistling sound of wind. The thin wind in front of him gradually became stronger and stronger. Finally, the wind gradually rose and actually swept over like a raging tide. The wind was cold and dense, like a bone-scraping steel knife. In Fang Xing's eyes, the Yin Yang God Demon Mirror began to circulate rapidly, "Primordial Death Qi, transformation of Dao Qi, annihilation of the soul, no spirit in the world …"
It turned out to be the Primordial Death Qi transformed from the Primordial Dao Qi!
Fang Xing immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly jumped onto the red dragon's back and shouted, "Run, run!"
His heart thumped so hard that it was on the verge of jumping out. The Primordial Death Qi wasn't something simple like the Nether Spirits that were born from the Nether Spring Sea. Shockingly, it was the Primordial Death Qi that was born from the Sovereign Dao Orthodoxy's myriad of sage-like Dao Accumulations. It was originally something that was extremely beneficial to cultivators, but after the Sovereign Dao Orthodoxy was annihilated, it had been nourished by resentment for countless years, yet it had transformed into Death Qi!
This level of Primordial Death Qi was a taboo even for Golden Core Mahayana Cultivators, let alone Fang Xing.
Once one was swept into it, then no matter how peerless one's Divine Ability was, one wouldn't have the slightest ability to resist it, and one's soul would be easily extracted and only a soulless corpse would be left behind. The two members of the Dragon Seeking Clan that Fang Xing saw had probably had their vitality swept away by this Primordial Death Qi.
Fortunately, Fang Xing discovered it quickly and realized that there was something wrong with this strange wind in advance. If he had waited for the wind to reach him before he reacted, even a Golden Core Mahayana Cultivator would not have been able to avoid it. In a hurry, the red dragon also felt the panic in his heart. Its dragon body rushed forward, turned into a red shadow, and swept forward quickly. In a moment of nervousness, it did not care to avoid all the taboos and rushed over.
Behind it, the treasure mirror that was blooming with colorful brilliance flew back after Fang Xing left.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
From time to time, the restriction around the red dragon's body was triggered, releasing terrifying power.
All of this was resisted by the red dragon.
And Fang Xing, at this time, did not care much. He just looked forward and let the red dragon avoid some powerful taboos.
Fortunately, they were not too deep into the ruins, very close to where they came in. The crimson dragon risked its life again, hurriedly scuttling towards the abyss like lightning. Then, Fang Xing quickly led the way. One man and one dragon quickly plunged into the outer formation. When they returned to the other side of the abyss, the crimson dragon's body was already covered in wounds, scales shattered, blood dripping everywhere, making Fang Xing's heart ache greatly.
"This bastard Taishang Ruins is too damn strange, isn't it?"
Fang Xing sat on the ground, and while applying medicine to the red dragon, he sighed angrily.
The red dragon did not feel any pain, and its big head leaned against Fang Xing's side, feeling the cool feeling when the medicine was applied to its body was very comfortable. Its nostrils blew hot air on Fang Xing's face comfortably, and its big eyes looked at Fang Xing, like a puppy looking at its owner.
"Da Gouzi, you've really helped me a lot!"
Fang Xing had a lingering fear. If it were not for the red dragon, he would have died twice in this trip into the ruins.
"Yoo …"
The red dragon felt that Fang Xing was praising it, so it became excited and licked the saliva on Fang Xing's body.
"Ah, forget it, let's go back first … I'll come back tomorrow!"
Fang Xing thought angrily, but he was a little unwilling, so he could only go back to think of countermeasures.
When he returned to the palace, the eight servants and Hen Tianning were vigilant, but fortunately, Fang Xing had not been in the palace for a long time, so no one found anything wrong. Seeing that the red dragon came back with injuries, the eight servants and Hen Tianning wanted to greet him and ask something, but Fang Xing asked them to go outside. There were too many problems in his head, and he had no time to talk to them.
"What a loss. It was not easy to go in, but I got nothing?"
Sitting in the palace and gulping down two mouthfuls of liquor, Fang Xing was still unwilling to give up.
Amidst his anger, he suddenly remembered that he didn't come out empty-handed. He opened the storage pouch that he had casually taken from the man and woman of the Dragon Seeking Clan. He was just casually looking around, but he was suddenly slightly stunned. He actually found a jade scroll in the woman's storage pouch. He picked it up curiously and probed it with his divine sense.
After a while, his face gradually showed a happy expression. "Damn, this trip is so worth it!"
The storage bags of the two people were mostly filled with medicine and spirit stones to replenish Spiritual Qi. They were not of high quality, so Fang Xing did not hesitate to look at them. But the jade slip found in the woman's body recorded the biggest secret of the Dragon Seeking Clan.
However, it turned out that this woman was the Holy Maiden of a certain generation of the Dragon Seeking Clan. Her identity was extremely important, and she was almost on equal footing with the clan leader. Furthermore, she had the responsibility of recording all the experiences and valuable clues of the Dragon Seeking Clan's exploration of the Ruins and compiling them into a book. Therefore, they would always carry jade scrolls with them, in order to record every step of their exploration of the Ruins and the important points they discovered.
"So that bitch Magu was indeed lying …"
After quickly reading through the contents of the jade slip, Fang Xing found a problem. Magu was indeed not honest. Along the way, the cultivators had been relying on her directions as they slowly entered the depths of the Ultimate. There was no problem with the general direction she pointed, but there were many deviations in the details, and it was these deviations that caused the cultivators to suffer heavy losses and waste time.
And more importantly, this woman had concealed the biggest secret of the Ultimate.
She once said that the Dragon Seeking Clan had never entered the Taishang Ruins. Later, after Fang Xing saw through her relationship with the Young Master Vermillion Bird, she said that she had entered the Ultimate once, but still knew nothing about the real secret of the Ultimate. But in fact, the Dragon Seeking Clan had been exploring for thousands of years without stopping, because they had long known the real secret of the Ultimate, which was where the opportunities of the Taishang Ruins were.
According to the records on the jade slip, the Dragon Seeking Clan had been exploring the ruins for thousands of years without stopping, and there was only one goal.
This goal was to become a disciple of the Taishang Orthodoxy!
