Chapter 1179: Enter

“Are you serious?”

After hearing Song Qingshan’s words, Ou Yangming suddenly stood up with a surprised look in his eyes.

What did he just hear? The Mystic Ice Jade Fruit?! Had he not come to the Mystic Sky Sect for this treasure?

He had not taken any action yet, but the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect had offered the divine medicine as a reward to the person who killed the most Ancient Demons.

Song Qingshan could not understand why Ou Yangming had such a big reaction. He said with certainty, “How could it be fake? Those were the words of several alchemists. Many powerhouses of the Mystic Sky Sect have gone to Zhongzhou.”

‘Zhongzhou, Ancient Demons, the ruins.’

Ou Yangming muttered internally. No wonder he often saw flying boats flying out of the core of the sect these days. It turned out that such a big event had happened.

A ray of light flashed across Ou Yangming’s eyes. Afterward, he asked, “Brother Song, don’t you have to deliver pills to other outer sect disciples?”

“Ah, I forgot. It’s too boring to chat with you. I still have a task to complete, so I’ll take my leave first.” Song Qingshan stood up and patted his body. Then, he walked toward another Spiritual Medicine Mountain.

“This is a good opportunity.”

Ou Yangming had been thinking about how to get the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit from the Mystic Sky Sect these days, but he was still confused after thinking for a long time.

He had no idea where the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit was, and such a treasure would definitely be guarded strictly. Even if he knew, it would be difficult to get it.

The Mystic Sky Sect was a top sect of the Humans. Ou Yangming did not want to have any conflict with them, but the chances of getting the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit through peaceful means were very slim.

At the very least, he could not think of any methods at the moment.

The opening of the Desolate Ancient Ruins in Zhongzhou was the best opportunity to him

He left just like that.

Ou Yangming did not have any hesitation. He came to the Mystic Sky Sect for 2 purposes. The first was to learn alchemy, which he had achieved.

The second purpose was to obtain the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit. Now that the Desolate Ancient Ruins had opened, there was a better chance for him. There was no point for him to stay in the Mystic Sky Sect anymore.

As night fell, Ou Yangming took the flashy and gradeless flying boat and flew toward Zhongzhou.

Ou Yangming did not need to consider the consequences after he left. No one cared about the life or death of the outer sect disciples. If they disappeared, they would probably be considered dead.

Of course, Ou Yangming also left with the Swift Tortoise. He did not abandon the test subject. Before he took the flying boat, he threw it into the poisonous pill’s world.

The Zhongzhou Main City was not particularly far from the Mystic Sky Sect. As compared to Beishan City, it was much closer.

Ou Yangming’s flying boat was also very fast. In just 2 days, he arrived at the Zhongzhou Main City.

The Desolate Ancient Ruins was about to open. The Zhongzhou Main City was filled with talented people. Many human powerhouses gathered, sharpening their knives as they prepared to slaughter Ancient Demons.

It would be for revenge, and also for the benefits promised by the Mystic Sky Sect.

Ou Yangming was shocked by the lively atmosphere here. Rulers could be seen everywhere on the streets.

This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

‘How many human powerhouses have come?’ Ou Yangming wondered.

This question was probably not known by even the authorities of the Zhongzhou Main City.

Ou Yangming casually entered a tavern, ordered some food and wine, and sat there quietly. Soon, he received some useful information.

For example, there were still 3 days before the opening of the Desolate Ancient Ruins.

For instance, when they entered the ruins this time, the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect would personally make a move.

“I heard that the legendary mansion master of the Heavenly Star Mansion is here.” The discussions around Ou Yangming were undisguised.

“Why is he here? Could it be that the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect sent him here?”

The Heavenly Star Mansion’s master was extremely famous. Although he was not on the Zhenwu Continent, there were still legends about him here. It was rumored that the father of the Heavenly Star Mansion’s master was a great elder of the Mystic Sky Sect.

“I’m not sure about that. That kind of person isn’t someone we can come into contact with. That said, since he’s here, the competition will surely be more intense.”

“It’s fine. In any case, we’re not going to compete for the first place. I’ll be very satisfied if he lets me kill an Ancient Demon of a Ruler’s level in exchange for a few spiritual pills from the Mystic Sky Sect’s Alchemy School.”

“Ancient Demons aren’t so easy to deal with. They have innate abilities and are slightly more powerful than ordinary humans. Everyone, it’s better to work together after entering. Be careful…”

After staying in the tavern for 2 days, Ou Yangming had roughly understood everything. His strength was already on par with a Ruler of the second step, so he was not afraid of encountering any danger in the ruins.

In the ruins, he would call on Lil’ Red and Big Yellow. With the 3 of them working together, they should be able to deal with some ordinary Ancient Demons easily. He would kill more and strive for first place.

Ou Yangming was very eager to obtain the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit. Other than his strength not reaching the standard, he was already prepared in other aspects.

3 days passed very quickly.

Ou Yangming followed the powerhouses out of the city gate. The sky was densely packed with human powerhouses. If one looked carefully, there were probably thousands of them. Each of these people was a Ruler, and this was only a part of them.

There were also many people in the law boundary. Ou Yangming scanned the powerhouses, and he could feel the aura of laws flowing from several powerhouses.

So many powerhouses were here for the Ancient Demons. Ou Yangming also felt some pressure.

His strength was a step higher than the others, but it did not mean that there were not others who were similar to him. The Heavenly Star Mansion’s master that everyone was talking about was certainly someone of the second step. Moreover, the young fellow was not the only person at the second step. With so many people competing, it would not be easy to obtain the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit.

In front of them was a desolate desert. The Rulers that were flying ahead had stopped. The Desolate Ancient Ruins should be there.

Ou Yangming looked ahead and saw an old man in white. His aura was terrifying.

“Sir Sect Leader, all the powerhouses from Zhongzhou are here,” Zhao Juefeng turned around and said softly. He was Zhongzhou’s governor, but he did not dare to be rude in front of the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect.

“Okay.” The white-robed man glanced at the crowd.

A sword intent burst out from his body, and the white-robed man seemed to have transformed into a white-robed god of swords. His gaze was sharp as he pointed the sword in his hand at the ground.

Boom!

A loud explosion was heard, and the ground rumbled. Yellow sand rose into the sky, and the sky turned grey.

With that, a Sealing Formation appeared under the yellow sand. The formation had been destroyed by the man’s sword.

A 32-meters-long hole appeared on the ground, and the passage opened.

The sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect turned around and took a glance before walking in. He was the first to enter, which gave the others a lot of confidence.

Zhao Juefeng turned around and said, “There’s no need to rush. Let’s go in one by one. The ruins is very big, and everyone’s mission is to kill the Ancient Demons. Of course, since the ruins is very old, there must be many other treasures inside. It’ll be up to your luck.

“Everyone, before you enter, you must first take a jade token. This jade token has 2 functions. The first is to transmit sound. If you encounter a powerful Ancient Demon, you can receive help from powerhouses nearby. The second function is the most important for you; it’s the evaluation of your battle merits. After you kill an Ancient Demon, place this thing on the Ancient Demon’s body. The jade token will absorb the life force of the Ancient Demon that has yet to dissipate. According to the strength of the Ancient Demon, the points will be increased correspondingly. These points are the key for you to exchange for treasures.”

Zhao Juefeng explained everything briefly. Everyone was surprised by the power of the jade token, but it was not surprising since it was created by the Mystic Sky Sect.

For a top human sect, creating such a small thing was not a big deal.

Just as Zhao Juefeng finished, a man in black flew over.

Zhao Juefeng smiled when he saw who it was.

He cupped his hands and said, “Mansion Master, please!”

The person next to him handed over a jade token that was marked number one.

With that, the man in black returned the bow and quickly flew down with the jade token before disappearing into the hole.

Those who entered at the beginning were all Rulers of the second step. They obviously had their information channels and did not come along with the other Rulers.

Ou Yangming counted carefully. Among the first batch of powerhouses who entered, excluding the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect, there were a total of 9 people. If he was not mistaken, these 9 people were all Rulers of the second step.

‘There are actually so many experts!’ Ou Yangming was very surprised. He had not seen many Rulers of the second step from the Dragons and the Phoenixes. He did not expect the Humans to have so many, and these were only a part of them.

It was true that the Humans had many powerhouses. The huge population base and reproductive ability had resulted in so many experts. This was something that other races could not compare with.

Nevertheless, the Dragons and the Phoenixes were definitely not so simple. Otherwise, the Great Wide World would have long been ruled by the Humans.

Perhaps in terms of middle-level experts, the 2 races could not compare to the Humans no matter what. However, in terms of top-level experts, the 2 races definitely had a place. Otherwise, the balance of the 3 races could not have been maintained for countless years.

After the Rulers of the second step entered, there was no need to pay attention to the rest. According to the order in which they came, one by one, they received their tokens and walked in.

Whether it was an ordinary Ruler or a Ruler of the laws, it was the same. As for Venerable Ones, there was not a single one of them here. After all, as long as one had not gone mad, one should know that a Venerable One who entered the ruins would be courting his death.

Ou Yangming was quite at the back, but he was not in a hurry. This time, there was no time limit. The moment the Ancient Demons in the Desolate Ancient Ruins were exterminated would be when they would come out.

The young fellow watched as the powerhouses entered one by one. Suddenly, he inadvertently saw a person, and his expression suddenly changed.

“Why is he here?”

Ou Yangming’s face was ashen, and he tightly clenched his teeth.
