"Let's restrain him first!"
Grand Elder Fangzheng made a decision with a cold shout when he saw the Vermillion Bird acting strangely.
He had already vaguely sensed that something was amiss. The cultivators of the Void of End all knew the Omniscient Nail very well.
It was a special Dharma artifact used to destroy one's body and nail one's soul. It was transformed from an Dharma artifact that was specially used to deal with ferocious beasts. The Vermillion Bird's body had already been nailed with eighteen Omniscient Nails. In order to preserve its life for a longer period of time for the cultivators who had entered the ruins, they had not used much strength when nailing it. However, the eighteen nails had destroyed its soul. Logically speaking, it should have been completely restrained.
Moreover, the Vermillion Bird's behavior was also strange. No one could force out the eighteen Omniscient Nails. What was it trying to do now?
Fangzheng, who sensed that something was amiss, immediately stabbed out with his sword. He wanted to capture the Vermillion Bird and investigate what was going on.
However, just as his sword was about to pierce the Vermillion Bird's body, the Vermillion Bird suddenly laughed sinisterly. The Blood Qi in its body surged, and every drop of blood suddenly ignited a shockingly hot flame that surrounded the Vermillion Bird. At the same time, the red light of the Vermillion Bird's ancient ancestor on the jade bridge suddenly shone brightly and danced around the Vermillion Bird as if it had a mind of its own.
The Vermillion Bird indeed did not have the strength to force out the eighteen Omniscient Nails, but it … had activated the power of the jade bridge!
Fangzheng's sword contained his entire cultivation and could seal the heavens and earth.
However, at this moment, when it pierced the scarlet light, it was as if it had pierced into a void. Indistinctly, an illusion appeared in front of him. It was as if he saw a ferocious Vermilion Bird howling ferociously at him and swooping down. At the same time, a scorching heat wave surged over, and the magic sword in his hand that was forged from Hundred Refinements Darksteel actually melted bit by bit under this heat wave …
"Oh no!"
Fangzheng felt his heart tremble when he saw this scene. He quickly retreated with a pale face.
At that moment, the Vermillion Bird had already turned into a huge fireball with a radius of a hundred feet. From time to time, molten iron would drip from the fireball. It was the Omniscient Nails that had been nailed into its body. They were all melted by the shocking flames and dripping onto the ground …
"The Nine Trials to Heaven, the Legacy Disciple …"
"The transformation of the Taishang Dao Palace is destined to belong to me alone. You bunch of outsiders actually want to take a share?"
The young master Vermilion Bird's voice rang out from within the fireball. It was cold, disdainful, and sinister.
"You … what the hell are you doing?"
Grand Elder Fangzheng of the Fengtian Clan shouted coldly.
"I'm just letting you know who the prey is and who the hunter is …"
The Young Master Vermilion Bird sneered with a prideful tone.
"Whoosh …"
It suddenly turned around and flew into the Ancient Ruins. Even though the grand formation within the Ancient Ruins had been closed and the various restrictions had restrained their auras and stopped attacking others, the restrictions still existed. No matter how high one's cultivation was, unless one wanted to go against the restrictions head-on, otherwise one wouldn't dare to rashly fly through the sky. However, the Vermillion Bird actually didn't care about the restrictions at all …
All of the restrictive spells were burned into nothingness by the astonishing fire power enveloping his body before they could touch him.
A fireball, like the sun, dragged a long fiery tail behind it as it flew into the depths of the ruins.
…
…
At this time, the purple-spotted old cultivator of the Fengtian Clan, Granny Yao of the Reverence Moon Clan, and the others were also rapidly approaching Magu.
Magu seemed to be very familiar with the restrictions in the ruins. She dashed left and right like a bolt of lightning, pushing her speed to the limit as she flew forward like a shooting star. The purple-spotted old cultivator of the Fengtian Clan, Granny Yao of the Reverence Moon Clan, and the others might have higher cultivation than her, but their speed was suppressed by the hidden restrictions in the surroundings. For a time, they couldn't catch up to her.
However, they had a faint feeling that something was amiss. No matter what, they wouldn't let Magu leave so easily.
"Split the formation, extend the eight gates, surround her …"
The purple-spotted old cultivator, Granny Yao, Shi Nansha, Luo Musang, and the others looked at one another. Seeing that Magu was getting further and further away, they spread out their subordinates and surrounded her according to the formation. Magu didn't run in a straight line, so it didn't take long for her to be surrounded by cultivators. She was surrounded from all sides, and all her escape routes had been blocked.
"Fairy Magu, we've had a good time working together. Now that we've finally entered the dao palace, why are you running away?"
Granny Yao walked over with the help of her dragon-headed walking stick. Her eyes revealed a sinister glint.
"She must be hiding something from us. If we can't figure it out, we won't feel at ease. If she doesn't want to tell us, search her soul!"
Luo Musang approached from another angle and spoke coldly. The fear in his heart made it impossible for him to smile.
"There's no need to search her soul. Magu will tell you everything you want to know. I won't dare to hide anything from you!"
The place where Magu was surrounded was in the ruins of an old garden. It seemed to have been a garden in the past, and one could even see the spiritual fields. She was at the center of the garden, where there was a stone table and a few round stools. She didn't seem to want to run anymore. She sat down on one of the stools, flicked her hair, and answered softly.
"Why … why are you running?"
The cultivators looked at each other. Only then did they realize that they didn't have anything to ask.
It was a moment later that Granny Yao was the first to speak up, asking sternly.
"Because I don't want to die!"
Magu replied softly, "If I run, I might still have a chance to live. If I don't run …"
The purple-spotted old cultivator's eyes flashed. He took a step forward and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Magu smiled softly and said, "It's a long story. It's related to the secrets of our Dragon Seeking Clan. Seniors, do you want to hear it?"
The tribe leaders immediately frowned. They were in the Primal Ruins. Who had the time to listen to their nonsense?
Just as they were about to reprimand her, Fang Xing suddenly smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. I want to hear it!"
Seeing the other tribe leaders looking at him, Fang Xing smiled and said, "She can't run away from us anyway. Why should we be afraid of her?"
Hearing this, the tribe leaders fell silent. It was a sign of agreement.
Granny Yao of the Moon Reverence Clan took a step forward and flicked her fingers. A few strands of moonlight flew into Magu's body and disappeared in a flash. "Girl, you've been hit by our Moon Reverence Clan's secret technique. If you don't want to die a miserable death, don't try anything funny!" Seeing this, the other tribe leaders' eyes flashed. They also sent people to cast secret techniques or poison on Magu.
As seniors, it was greatly beneath them to do this to a junior. However, they couldn't be bothered about all of this now that they were in the strange Primeval Ruins. Coupled with Ma Gu's actions earlier being unusual, they had to restrain her firmly.
Magu didn't seem to care about the secret techniques and poisons that she was poisoned by. She only frowned slightly as if she was organizing her words. After a while, she looked up at the crowd and said, "We, the Dragon Seeking Clan, have been investigating the Taishang Ruins for thousands of years. We know more than all of you. Even the Patriarch of the Dragon Seeking Clan was originally a disciple of the Taishang Dao Palace. However, when the Taishang Dao Orthodoxy was sealed, he wasn't in the sect. Thus, he became one of the few disciples of the Taishang Dao Palace who didn't go through the calamity together with the Taishang Dao Orthodoxy. After that, he took the initiative to enter the Ultimate to return to the Dao Palace and inherit the Taishang Dao Orthodoxy!"
When the cultivators heard this, their eyes flashed, but they didn't answer.
The Heaven Grudge Clan, Heaven Reverence Clan, Imperial Beast Clan, and Moon Reverence Clan all had their own roots and origins. It was no secret in the Bottomless Ruins. However, this was the first time they heard of the Dragon Seeking Clan's roots. No one expected it to be related to the Primal Dao Palace.
"However, when he returned to the Sinkhole, the Sinkhole's world had changed drastically. The Taishang Dao Palace had been sealed, leaving only the Path to Heaven that allowed cultivators to undergo trials. Anyone who could pass the Nine Trials of Heaven could inherit the Taishang Dao's orthodoxy and become a disciple of the Taishang Dao. Even the Patriarch of the Seeking Dragon clan was no exception. He wanted to challenge the Nine Trials of Heaven, so he did it!"
"The ancestor was a disciple of the Primal Dao Palace, so he understood the layout of the Nine Tests of Heaven. He thought he could pass it, but no one expected that the Nine Tests of Heaven were already very different from what he knew. He passed the first four tests, but ultimately failed and had no choice but to retreat. At that time, the ancestor was dissatisfied and refused to let others obtain the Primal Dao Palace that originally belonged to him. He simply cut off the test path left behind by the Primal Dao Palace and sealed the Primal Ruins. He only left this secret in the Dragon Seeking Clan's land, so that we could seek the most talented person to enter the Ancient Path to Heaven in the ruins and challenge the tests for every generation until we inherited the Primal Dao Palace!"
Hearing up to this point, the crowd was filled with astonishment. Even Fang Xing was shocked.
"So the grand formation around the Primal Ruins was set up by the ancestor of the Dragon Seeking Clan?"
"Unfortunately, no matter how good a plan is, there will always be some unforeseen circumstances. Even our ancestor didn't expect that after he passed away from his grave injuries, the rules of the Endless Ruins changed so much that none of his descendants could break through to the Yuanying Realm. Therefore, the test path he left behind was extremely difficult even for our Dragon Seeking Clan. Generation after generation, we entered the Primal Ruins for the sake of this ancestor's teachings. We suffered incomparably heavy casualties, and in the end, our clan was almost wiped out. Our ancestor's actions were originally out of consideration for our clan, but we didn't expect it to end up like this. It can be said that we've spun our own cocoon …"
At this point, Magu seemed to be a little sad and sighed softly.
"Little girl, don't try to be mysterious and stall for time. I only want to ask you, why did you escape just now? Are you harboring evil intentions? Are you plotting something? If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being merciless and searching your soul! "
Granny Yao of the Reverence Moon Clan snorted coldly, a poisonous light flashing in her eyes.
Magu, on the other hand, showed no signs of fear. She smiled softly and said, "Senior Yao, with your cultivation, using the Soul Searching Technique on me is indeed not difficult. However, Magu must remind you that the information obtained from the Soul Searching Technique is incomplete, and Magu is confident that I can erase a part of my soul before I die. If you don't want to obtain the secret left behind by our ancestor, you can give it a try!"
