Chapter 898: The Land of Ruins
Chapter 898: The Land of Ruins
Immortal Tian Ge and the middle-aged man in a gray robe behind him suddenly moved and stood on the remaining stone pillars.
Immortal Tian Ge made gesture with 1 hand as he chanted obscure incantations, then he launched a green light with 1 hand.
At the same time, the other 3 grand elders also did the same. 4 green symbols were launched at the array on the ground.
The array on the ground suddenly made a humming sound, and the runes on the 4 green stone pillars gradually became brighter. The light was channeled into the array like flowing water.
For a time, a large area of green light came from the array and formed 4 light circles within the array.
“Hurry up and stand within the light circle. 10 Crystallization Period disciples in 1 circle. Jin Tianci and Qiu Longzi, you 2 stand in 1 circle each.” Immortal Tian Ge launched a symbol and said hurriedly.
When the disciples heard the words, they hurriedly began to act.
Jin Tianci and Qiu Longzi flew into the circle first.
The remaining Crystallization Period disciples, including the Ouyang Sisters, were exactly 20 people. They were divided into 2 teams that stood in the remaining 2 circles.
The Ouyang Sisters flew behind Liu Ming, and Liu Ming looked back and smiled at them.
The light circle was not huge, so they were very close to each other.
Ouyang Qian blushed slightly with her eyes closed; Quyang Qin’s expression also seemed a little unnatural.
Immortal Tian Ge saw that everyone was standing properly, then he threw 4 red talismans on the 4 light circles.
“Pa!“
The pale red talismans burst out with a dazzling red light, shrouding the light circles in it. The people inside were wrapped in a red sphere.
Immediately afterward, the few Celestial State cultivators, including Tian Ge, waved their arms and launched strange symbols into the array.
The ground suddenly vibrated gently, and the rays of light in the array began to tumble.
“Zha!” Immortal Tian Ge widened his eyes and shouted loudly.
Liu Ming’s body was tightened. He felt an unimaginable force that made him unable to move and trapped his Divine Thought in his sea of consciousness too.
This power was so vast that it was bigger than any cultivator he had ever seen. Even the Southern Puppet Emperor, the Mystic Comprehending State, seemed insignificant in front of this power.
“Boom!” The teleportation array on the ground was activated by this force.
Above the main peak hall of Taiqing Sect, a strangely thick green light beam with a diameter of more than 30 meters suddenly rose up.
The light beam soared into the sky, shrouding the large palace in it. It was like a giant pillar that went straight into the sky.
A bronze cauldron phantasm faintly appeared in the light beam. After 4 light red light clusters were ejected from the cauldron, the cauldron phantasm disappeared in a flash.
The 4 light clusters soared upward under the eyes of the surrounding disciples. The speed was very slowly. Every time they went up a certain distance, the speed would slow down a bit.
The sky above the main peak also changed drastically at this moment. The clouds in the sky began to rotate rapidly, forming a rapid black vortex. The surrounding white clouds were being sucked from all directions.
Loud thunder!
In the vortex, purple snake-shaped lightning shuttled from time to time. The entire Taiqing Sect main peak was shrouded below.
For a time, the surrounding light instantly darkened as if the day had turned into night.
The 4 red light clusters became slower and slower in this white light beam. It seemed difficult to continue rising.
On the green stone square on the main peak, nearly a thousand disciples of Taiqing looked up at this remarkable scene before them. Each of them widened their mouths in shock.
This scene lasted for the time of an incense, and the 4 red light clusters finally went into the black vortex under the flashing purple lightning.
The scene at this moment could be described as extremely wonderful, like the 4 scorching suns being swallowed up by the darkness, shaking the hearts of every inner disciple present.
So much so that for a long time afterward, these people would be excited to talk about the scene of that day for a long time.
When the 4 light clusters finally completely disappeared from everyone’s sight, the white light beam began to gradually shrink and finally disappeared.
The next moment, the huge and incomparably dark vortex in the sky gradually became smaller and disappeared as well.
After a long time, many disciples on the square burst into loud noises.
In the hall deep underground of the main peak, Immortal Tian Ge and the other 3 elders looked tired.
This seemed like a short while, but the 4 seemed to have experienced a long period of torment. At this moment, both their mental power and spiritual power were consumed a lot.
The array on the ground had already vanished at this moment.
Liu Ming only felt that everything around him was spinning, and he seemed to be suffocated in the deep sea bottom. His entire body was squeezed by an overwhelming pressure, and the heart was also pinched by an invisible big hand as if it would explode the next moment.
This felt like only a moment, but it also felt like it had been after thousands of years. Liu Ming suddenly regained control of his body as the pressure relieved, then he opened his eyes right away.
In front of him was a dark and boundless world. The sky and the earth seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, which made people feel a sense of depression.
At a glance, there was empty wilderness in all directions. The shadows of some tall mountains could be seen in the distance.
“Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu, you are also awake.” A faint male voice entered Liu Ming’s ears.
He suddenly stood up and turned to look.
Behind him, Jin Tianci was suspended in mid-air with a casual look. The loose golden robe danced with the wind, and he held a translucent talisman in his hand.
“Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin, is this the upper realm ruins? Why are they…”
Liu Ming nodded and glanced around, only to find people lying on the ground. All of them revealed a hint of pain with their eyes closed. Qiu Longzi was actually among them.
“It’s fine. They just fell into a coma because their bodies and souls were violently impacted when they crossed the border of 2 realms.” Jin Tianci flew down and said with a smile.
“Oh.” Liu Ming was relieved.
It was not that he was worried about his fellow apprentice, but that he had just entered this unfamiliar world. If there was an accident at the beginning, it was not a good sign.
“Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu can recover so quickly, this is really beyond my expectations. It can be seen that your physical body and mental power are really strong.” Jin Tianci said with a surprised look while holding the translucent talisman in his hand.
“My ability is not worth mentioning at all. My body is just a bit more sturdy just because I’m a physique cultivator as well. Didn’t Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin wake up earlier than me too? By the way, this is…” Liu Ming smiled slightly. He Immediately saw the talisman in Jin Tianci’s hand.
Although the color of the talisman in Jin Tianci’s hand had changed greatly, he could still recognize that this was the red talisman that Immortal Tian Ge used just now.
At this moment, the power in the talisman had long been exhausted. It had turned into a translucent color, and it was extremely fragile as if it would shatter with a slight force.
“This thing is called the realm transformation talisman. It is a talisman formed by condensing the spiritual power of the realm border.” Jin Tianci exerted a little force on his hand, and the talisman turned into a piece of powder with a snap.
“Realm transformation talisman? This is the first time I have heard of this name. Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin is indeed a well-informed person.” Liu Ming said with a moving look.
“Hehe, I just happen to read more classics. This realm transformation talisman is a talisman that can only be used when breaking the distance between the 2 realms. For example, our sect forcibly opened a path between the Middle Sky Continent and the upper realm ruins to teleport us here. Just the power of magic weapon and array are enough to do that.” Jin Tianci said eloquently.
“Breaking the realm border requires a lot of energy. The various factions in the Middle Sky Continent actually started preparing for this trip to the upper realm ruins many years ago. In addition to countless rare materials, it is necessary to absorb the border power escaping from the upper realm ruins with the treasures of the sects and refine into this realm transformation talisman. For every major sect, each realm transformation talisman is a slot to enter the upper realm ruins. It can send a Real Pellet State cultivator or 10 Crystallization Period cultivators to this place. Taiqing Sect has spent countless years, and so far only 4 realm transformation talismans have been made.” Jin Tianci looked a little emotional.
“So Taiqing Sect only has 4 slots…” Liu Ming seemed a little enlightened.
When they chatted a few more words, Qiu Longzi finally stood up from the ground,
“Not to mention Brother Jin, I didn’t expect Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu to wake up faster than me. I’m really ashamed to be the senior!” Qiu Longzi was first startled to see Jin Tianci and Liu Ming standing, then he laughed boldly.
Not long after, Luo Tiancheng, Wen Zeng and other outstanding disciples also regained consciousness one after another.
When everyone recovered, it was already half an hour later. During this period, many people flew into the air or walked around, looking at the surrounding environment.
A breeze blew across the wilderness.
Although this place was desolate, the surrounding natural aura was extremely thick. This was probably several times stronger than the best cave house on Thousands Spirit Mountain Range.
