The Abandoned City!
It was an ancient city that stood a hundred miles away from the Tian Yuan Ruins. Every piece of the city wall was mottled with colors, leaving behind traces of time.
The Tianyuan Ruins was left behind by an ancient battle that shook the entire Spiritual Martial Sacred World. After a long time of evolution, it gave birth to many terrifying evils and dangers, but it also gave birth to many treasures.
Therefore, many Saint Rudiment Realm experts came from all directions to enter the Tian Yuan Ruins in search of opportunities.
Many people had found treasures in the Tianyuan Ruins, and their cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Some had also found opportunities, such as inheritances left behind by fallen experts of the ancient times, and so on. Similarly, their futures were limitless.
Although the Tian Yuan Ruins was very dangerous, it also contained many opportunities and treasures. Therefore, many people were eager to enter.
Although some cultivators had reached the Saint Rudiment Realm, they had already exhausted most of their potential. It was very difficult for them to advance further in the Saint Rudiment Realm.
If it was difficult, they would have to find a way out.
Power made people confident. Who would be willing to stay in the same place? Those who had some ambition would not be willing to stay ordinary.
Even if it was extremely difficult and dangerous, as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, no one would let it go.
The path of cultivation had always been to move forward in adversity.
Favorable circumstances could not sharpen oneself.
Some cultivators entered the Tian Yuan Ruins for opportunities and treasures.
Some cultivators entered the Tian Yuan Ruins for opportunities and treasures. Their main purpose was to use the Tian Yuan Ruins to sharpen themselves.
The former were often itinerant cultivators, disciples of small sects, or ordinary disciples of large sects.
Only true geniuses would use the Tian Yuan Ruins as a place to sharpen themselves.
But now, something had happened.
The Tian Yuan Sacred Region's Nine Realms had collectively announced to all cultivators in the Abandoned City that they were not allowed to step into the Tian Yuan Ruins for the next month. Those who violated the rules would be killed at their own risk.
As soon as the announcement was made, the cultivators in the Abandoned City were shocked.
This had never happened before.
It was as if they were going to clear out the entire Tian Yuan Ruins.
"What a joke. I've never heard of anyone conquering the Tian Yuan Ruins. Even a Half-step Great Saint would die in there."
"I heard that this time, it's an important matter that concerns the number one Holy Land in the Lingwu Holy World, the Lingwu Holy Land."
"It's actually the Lingwu Holy Land!"
"Since ancient times, anyone who entered the Lingwu Holy Land, as long as they did not die midway, would at least become a top-notch Half-step Great Saint and be ranked among the strongest in the world."
As they spoke, everyone revealed looks of envy when they mentioned the Lingwu Holy Land.
If only they had the right to enter the Lingwu Holy Land.
Unfortunately, it was the number one Holy Land in the world. It was said that only ten people could enter the Tianyuan Ruins. This time, the reason why no one was allowed to enter the Tianyuan Ruins was to let the peerless geniuses of the Nine Realms enter the Tianyuan Ruins to compete for opportunities and quotas.
Of course, the summons was just a summons. It wasn't completely forced. One could ignore it and sneak in during this period of time. However, the consequences would be that if one were to encounter those peerless geniuses, it would be fine if one was lucky, but if one was unlucky, one would be killed.
The strength of those peerless geniuses far surpassed their cultivation.
If those Mastery Saint Rudiment Realm experts sneaked in and were discovered, they would not be able to escape punishment and might even be killed on the spot.
"Fortunately, it's only a month. It'll be over after a little cultivation."
A month was actually very short for Saint Rudiment Realm experts. Therefore, some people might feel that this method was too overbearing and were dissatisfied, but it was not unacceptable.
After all, it was only a month. They could just treat it as a month of rest.
"The peerless geniuses of the Nine Realms. The competition between these peerless geniuses will be very interesting," someone in the crowd muttered to himself.
In any case, the peerless geniuses of the Nine Realms gathered here to compete for a quota to enter the Lingwu Holy Land. It was very eye-catching.
At the same time, a huge battleship flew over from the distance. It was as if the wind and clouds were surging, and an astonishing amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was surging. The sky seemed to have turned into an endless sea, and the Yuan Qi turned into endless waves.
The roar was earth-shattering, as if heaven and earth were moving and converging toward the abandoned city from all directions.
For a time, the expressions of the cultivators in the abandoned city changed drastically. They all stared at the huge battleships solemnly. They only felt a heavy pressure in their hearts, as if they were being crushed by a huge mountain. Even breathing became difficult.
Such power was unparalleled.
Although there were many Saint Rudiment Realm cultivators in the abandoned city, most of them were in the Early and Intermediate Saint Rudiment Realm, and a few were in the Mastery Saint Rudiment Realm. As for the Half-step Great Saint Realm, there were very few of them, and they would not stay here all the time.
Among these Saint Rudiment Realm experts, there were very few who could be called peerless geniuses. Most of them were ordinary Saint Rudiment Realm experts. Their talent and potential were average, and their strength was relatively average. Some of them might have one or two outstanding skills, but that was it.
Many people had never seen such power at all. They had only heard about it.
Now that they saw it with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
The battleships hovered in the air, and the aura they emitted was extremely terrifying. It seemed that if they attacked, they could easily destroy the abandoned city and turn it into ruins.
Immediately, figures flew out from the battleships.
The aura emitted from the figure in the lead was extremely shocking.
Half-step Great Saint Realm!
The other ten were at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Realm, and they were not ordinary peerless Saint Rudiment Realm experts.
Immediately, young figures appeared one after another.
Peerless geniuses!
"I recognize that. That's the Mystic Yuan Sky-blasting Battleship. Those are the people from the Mystic Yuan Dynasty."
Strictly speaking, the Tian Yuan Ruins did not belong to the Nine Realms. It was located outside the Nine Realms. Even half of the Tian Yuan Ruins was in the Tian Yuan Saint Realm, and the other half was not.
Naturally, the abandoned city did not belong to the Nine Realms. Some of the cultivators in the abandoned city came from the Mystic Yuan World, and some came from the other Eight Realms. It was a mixed bag.
Because of this, the information in the abandoned city was quite widespread, and they knew a lot about the Nine Realms.
Even some secrets could be found here. Of course, they would have to pay a considerable price.
In the abandoned city, people from the Nine Realms had already come in advance to tidy up everything. Therefore, as soon as everyone arrived, they were immediately arranged.
As for the cultivators in the abandoned city, no one cared about them.
What everyone cared about now was how to compete.
Every genius had a small courtyard to live in, and they did not disturb each other.
Soon, the other Eight Realms arrived. For a moment, the entire abandoned city was filled with a solemn atmosphere, which made people feel nervous for no reason. It seemed that the air was filled with an unusual atmosphere.
Cold and solemn!
Desolate and murderous!
Chen Zong did not stay in the courtyard to cultivate. After all, it was his first time here, so it was normal for him to walk around.
Not only did Chen Zong do so, but so did the other peerless geniuses.
The atmosphere in the abandoned city was different from the other cities that Chen Zong had stayed in before. The air was constantly filled with tension, and the people here were not so comfortable.
In addition, because it was close to the Tian Yuan Ruins, although the Qi of Heaven and Earth was majestic, it was very mixed and filled with countless chaotic auras.
This was not a suitable place for cultivation, but it was a good place for experience.
Moreover, there were people selling so-called treasures here, claiming that they had found the treasures in the Tian Yuan Ruins. Of course, no one could be sure if they were true or not.
Chen Zong walked past the stalls, and his sharp eyes glanced at the things in the stalls carefully.
The things in the stalls looked very old, as if they had been there for a long time. Chen Zong could not see the reason for many of them.
However, Chen Zong just glanced at them. He did not feel that there was anything that attracted him, so he did not pay much attention to them.
There were many stalls, at least a hundred of them in a row.
Chen Zong was not in a hurry. He walked slowly and leisurely, as if he was just taking a casual look, as if he was relaxing.
Cultivation required a balance between tension and relaxation. One could not be too tense all the time. Appropriate relaxation and rest were necessary.
Sometimes, if one was too tense all the time, it would be disadvantageous for them. It would be difficult to make progress in cultivation, but if they relaxed properly, they might make a breakthrough.
At the 19th stall, Chen Zong stopped and looked around. Finally, he fixed his eyes on something.
It was a black, mottled, and dirty root about the size of a palm. It looked like a weird-looking sweet potato.
Such a thing was no different from a broken stone. Basically, no one would pay attention to it.
At first, Chen Zong also glanced at it. But for some reason, he had a feeling that this thing might be useful to him.
It was a feeling that came on a whim.
Chen Zong had always trusted this feeling that came from his heart.
Since he felt that it was useful to him, he would buy it.
People who could set up stalls in a place like this abandoned city where good people mixed with bad people were all astute people. They were very good at reading people's expressions. This stall owner immediately grasped Chen Zong's thoughts and immediately revealed a warm smile.
"Your Excellency, you're interested in this, right? This is the root of the magic medicine that I painstakingly found in the Tianyuan Ruins." The stall owner pointed at the black, mottled root that Chen Zong was staring at and said immediately, "In order to get it, I risked my life."
Chen Zong was well aware of these tricks. He did not refute the stall owner. Instead, he smiled and said, "Let's cut to the chase. You and I both know what the price is. I'll buy it if it's suitable."
The stall owner was stunned. Chen Zong's response was a little different from what he had imagined. He was very direct and seemed to be an expert.
However, the stall owner's reaction was also very fast. His mind was spinning in an instant. As an Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse, his thinking speed was naturally very fast. In just a short moment, many thoughts had flashed through his mind.
Although this black root was brought out of the Tianyuan Ruins, it was not his but someone else's. He had bought it from someone else at a low price.
The stall owner's words were naturally to show that this thing was rare and extraordinary. His purpose was to sell it at a high price.
