Chapter 56 Searching for Lost Relics
This vengeful spirit harbors deep resentment, and its power is enough to shake the mind and annihilate the spirit.
Faced with this invisible spiritual tsunami, Elder Lieyang fought back with all his might, holding nothing back!
The boundary-fixing disc in his hand erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant and clear light, like a bright lamp in the dead darkness, forcibly creating a relatively stable area.
At the same time, he made hand seals with his other hand, chanted incantations, and his aura completely merged with the boundary-fixing disc.
"May the mighty power of Heaven endure forever! Imperial decree!"
A shout, like thunder from the heavens, carried the supreme Daoist rhyme of suppressing evil and wickedness. It condensed into golden rune chains in the void, wrapping around the enormous vengeful spirit as if it were alive!
The golden chains hissed as they came into contact with the black and red resentment. The vengeful spirit let out a silent, painful howl as its massive body writhed violently, countless twisted faces struggling and annihilating within it.
Elder Lieyang's face paled instantly, clearly indicating that using this technique had taken a huge toll, but he dared not be negligent in the slightest and kept his eyes firmly locked on the vengeful spirit.
Although the light from the boundary plate stabilized, it also dimmed considerably.
Taking advantage of Elder Lieyang's temporary suppression of the vengeful spirits, the disciples unleashed their fastest speed, rushing across the last hundred feet like arrows released from a bow, and plunged headlong into the half-collapsed palace ruins.
Within the ruins, crumbling walls stand in rows, faintly revealing the former glory, but now only desolation and death remain.
Strangely, once you enter the area of this ruin, the pervasive whispers of obsession and the mental impact from the outside world suddenly diminish by more than half, as if there were some kind of invisible barrier here.
Still shaken, everyone turned around and saw that the battle between Elder Lieyang and the aggregate of obsessions was nearing its end.
The golden rune chains finally bound the vengeful spirit layer by layer, until it turned into a wisp of green smoke and was completely suppressed by the boundary-fixing disc.
After doing all this, Elder Lieyang swayed slightly, clearly exhausted.
He quickly returned to the ruins, sat cross-legged, swallowed some pills to regulate his breathing, and said wearily, "There are still faint traces of ancient restrictions here, which can temporarily resist the erosion of nothingness and obsession, but their effectiveness is constantly waning. Let's rest here for half a day before setting off."
Half a day later, Elder Lieyang recovered slightly and led the team to set off again. After passing through the forest of broken steles, the scene before them suddenly opened up, yet was even more breathtaking.
It was a vast, endless wasteland.
The ruins of countless palaces lay sprawled on the earth like the skeletons of giant beasts.
Some still retain their general outlines, while the glazed tiles have long lost their luster and are covered with a thick layer of dust.
Some collapsed completely, turning into a mess of rubble.
Further away, broken, tilted, and even upside-down fairy mountains float in the gray sky, with faint traces of cave entrances and dried-up waterfalls visible on their bodies.
The massive mountain was torn apart by an unknown force, revealing the long-dimmed core of the immortal vein inside.
This place resembles a grand sect that was completely destroyed in battle.
The deeper one goes, the more concentrated the void power permeating the world becomes, corroding all remaining spirituality.
Occasionally, one can see huge skeletons half-buried in the ruins, gleaming with a metallic or jade-like luster; these are the last remains of fallen gods or powerful beings.
Elder Lieyang's voice was deep and resonant. "According to ancient legends, the Land of Immortal Remnants was once a ruin left behind in the mortal realm after the great war of the ancient immortal realm."
"There are many similar building complexes or dilapidated mountain ranges. Although this place is in ruins, it still holds endless opportunities, but it is also accompanied by great dangers."
"Spatial rifts are more active here, and there may be some remnants of automatically triggered destruction restrictions."
He glanced at everyone and continued, "The energy of the Boundary Determination Plate is limited and cannot protect everyone for a long time to conduct detailed exploration."
Next, we will split up and seek opportunities on our own.
If you encounter a vengeful spirit, remember to flee immediately. Be especially wary of disciples from other factions; whenever the seal on the Immortal Relic Land loosens, disciples from other factions besides the Dao Academy, such as the Demonic Sect, Heavenly Palace, and the Demon Realm, will travel there.
"Furthermore, you must not venture too deep into the Immortal Ruins. The depths of the Immortal Ruins are filled with the power of nothingness, and the laws of the Dao are not manifest. You will be unable to use any supernatural abilities, and your spiritual energy will rapidly dissipate. Regardless of your gains, meet here in three months. If you encounter any difficulties that you cannot resolve, activate the jade tablet," Elder Lieyang said solemnly.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the order was given, the crowd immediately stirred.
Two disciples, led by Nangong Yu, instantly gathered around him. They seemed to have been prepared, each taking out some compasses and talismans that shimmered with spiritual light, and began to determine the direction. They quickly selected a location that looked like the direction of the main hall and sped away on their magical artifacts.
Xia Yufei was still alone. She transformed into a cold, clear sword light, chose a path leading to a distant, upside-down immortal mountain, and her figure quickly disappeared among the broken walls and ruins.
Other disciples also dispersed in twos and threes, choosing different directions, based on their own judgment or acquaintances. However, most of them still went alone, since no one wanted to share their opportunity with others.
Lu Ming stood still, his gaze sweeping over the vast and dangerous ruins, then he chose a direction and sped off.
From the moment he stepped into this area, the sword intent in his mind had been sending a subtle guidance, pointing to the pit filled with huge sword marks, as if it were the core area of a battlefield that had experienced a fierce battle.
The lingering marks of sword energy there resonated subtly with his sword intent.
Meanwhile, the pen that Lu Ming treasured in his storage bag, which Hu Zhen had once given him, was also shimmering with a faint light.
But Lu Ming knew nothing about this.
Elder Lieyang, watching the Boundary-Stabilizing Compass, also walked deeper into the ruins, mainly to collect the enormous corpses and skeletons.
The spiritual energy here is suppressed, and only he, wielding the Boundary-Stabilizing Compass, can unleash his great power to capture these enormous creatures.
The fifty points of light on the boundary compass had already scattered. Elder Lieyang had another important task on this trip: to protect the heirs of those aristocratic holy lands. This was no small matter.
Lu Ming's spiritual energy circulated slowly within his body, resisting external erosion. He used his movement technique, without using his sword.
Relying solely on his lightness technique and keen sense of terrain, he moved like a wisp of smoke, silently passing over the ruins and heading swiftly towards the place where the sword intent called.
The snowflakes in the clouds hummed softly in their sheaths, the only sound in this desolate and vast world.
