Chapter 158 Sixth Elder, the Lei Peng Clan
While Ye Changsheng was talking with the leader of Miaoyin Sect, he was also using his spiritual sense to observe the group of Jindan cultivators around him.
Everyone here, after entering the Sea King Ruins, has the potential to become a competitor.
Of course, humans who have reached the Dan stage are only a small minority among the competitors.
There are more monsters from the outer sea.
Of the four teleportation arrays leading to the Sea King Ruins, humans only control one.
The remaining three are in the hands of alien sea monsters.
It is said that every time the Sea King ruins are opened, the powerful monster tribes will send monsters below level eight to enter and explore the secret treasures of the Sea King clan.
Although most monsters below level eight have low intelligence, a few powerful tribes, before they transform, possess intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans.
This is true for alien sea races such as the Jiaolong and Suanni.
For monsters, there is a huge difference between awakening their intelligence and not.
Most of the demon beasts in the Jindan stage that have not awakened their spiritual intelligence are no match for human cultivators.
Once their spiritual intelligence is awakened, it will be very difficult for human monks to compete with them.
On the one hand, normal intrigues are useless against them.
On the other hand, they themselves belong to some powerful clans, and the power of their bloodlines is far stronger than that of other monsters.
Their magic power, defense, speed and other aspects are stronger than those of human monks. This means that even if human monks have magic weapons, it is difficult for them to defeat them.
In the Sea King Ruins, the biggest threat is these monster royal families.
According to Wang Heng, if you encounter these powerful monster kings, it is best not to fight, but to run away immediately when you see them.
After talking with Master Wang, Ye Changsheng had a deeper understanding of the Sea King Ruins.
After several hours, suddenly, two figures in white walked into the area.
"Everyone please be quiet!"
The leader was an old man with a kind face. When they saw this man, the expressions of all the Jindan cultivators changed and they fell silent at the same time, not daring to speak anymore.
A Nascent Soul cultivator!
"This is the Sixth Elder of Xinggong!" Ye Changsheng heard Sect Master Wang say.
"Sixth Elder?!" Ye Changsheng muttered in his heart and looked at the other person quickly.
"Are these the only people who will be entering the Sea King Ruins this time?" The Sixth Elder said somewhat dissatisfiedly as he looked at the dozens of people in front of him.
"Reporting to the Sixth Elder, we heard that some people were going to come, but were stopped by their sects and did not come!"
The Xinggong Jindan cultivator behind the Sixth Elder said so, and the two of them talked openly without any intention of hiding anything.
"snort!"
The Sixth Elder showed anger on his face, snorted coldly, and said: "This group of scumbags will be eradicated sooner or later!"
Seeing this kind-looking Yuanying elder speaking such murderous words, a group of Jindan cultivators felt uneasy and lowered their heads, not daring to look at this Xinggong elder.
"Forget it, no matter how many people come, let's get ready to open the teleportation array!" The Sixth Elder shook his head and said.
The middle-aged man behind him came out upon hearing this and said loudly to the dozens of Jindan cultivators standing there:
"Everyone, please come to me one by one and hand over one thousand spirit stones in exchange for a teleportation talisman!"
For long-distance teleportation, one usually needs to use something like the Great Movement Order or the Teleportation Talisman to resist the pressure of space. If one teleports rashly without such a thing, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will be crushed by the pressure of space.
The method of refining the Great Teleport Order has basically disappeared since ancient times.
It is hard to say how many there are in the entire human world now.
In order to replace the Great Teleportation Order and solve the problem of long-distance teleportation, Xinggong developed a teleportation talisman.
This teleportation talisman is disposable and can help the monk resist the spatial pressure of teleportation.
Only the people of Xinggong have mastered the method of refining the teleportation talisman, which is why Xinggong can monopolize the channels between the inner and outer star seas.
Soon, Ye Changsheng also stepped forward, paid one thousand spirit stones, and obtained a teleportation talisman.
When everyone received the teleportation talisman, the Sixth Elder glanced at everyone and walked towards an attic in the center of the area.
The attic door was tightly closed, and there was a faint film of light surrounding it.
It is said that this is a very scary restriction. Even a Jindan cultivator may be killed by this restriction if he tries to break in by force.
The Sixth Elder stepped forward and made a few hand seals. Then, everyone saw the light curtain slowly disappear and the attic door opened automatically.
The attic was empty, without any decoration, except for an ancient teleportation array on the ground.
It looks like it is not much different from the teleportation array that Ye Changsheng had seen.
The white-robed Jindan cultivator from the Star Palace immediately walked in and inlaid more than a dozen mid-level spirit stones on the teleportation array.
"Go in!" said the Sixth Elder calmly.
The Jindan cultivators immediately filed in and took turns boarding the teleportation array. Then a white light flashed and they disappeared on the teleportation array.
Ten people were teleported away in each round, and it wasn't long before it was Ye Changsheng's turn.
"Brother Ye, take care! "
Wang Heng stood beside Ye Changsheng and said, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, but also some nervousness and fear.
He knew very well how dangerous the inside of the Sea King Ruins was. Every time so many people went there, it was considered good if only one in ten could come back alive!
Wang Heng didn’t know whether he could become one of the one tenth, but he knew that he had to go there for a reason.
"Take care too, Brother Wang!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
A white light flashed, and the group of people standing on the teleportation array disappeared.
…
In a pitch-black passage, Ye Changsheng's figure was wrapped in the light emitted by the teleportation talisman and moved forward at a very fast speed.
I don’t know how far I have traveled, or how long it has been, maybe thousands or tens of thousands of years, or maybe just a moment.
In a place like this, it seems that the flow of time can no longer be sensed. There is only pitch-black space in all directions and nothing can be seen.
If you stay in a place like this for a long time, it might drive you crazy.
But the next moment, a white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, the light expanded, Ye Changsheng escaped from the dark passage, and a blue sky appeared in front of him.
Ye Changsheng found himself standing in the air, with a vast ocean of rippling blue waves beneath his feet.
In front of him, a huge island appeared, with undulating mountains and lush forests covering the entire island.
Faintly, you can see some ruins in the forest.
This is the so-called Sea King Ruins!
Everything of the former sea king family is buried here!
The so-called Sea Kings are actually not a race living in the ocean, but a race of thunder eagles flying in the sky!
They possess a trace of true spirit blood and were the undisputed overlords of the Chaos Star Sea in the past.
Later, it was destroyed by the human race and disappeared in the history of the Chaos Star Sea.
This giant island is so large that you can't see the end of it at a glance. It's like a continent.
On the island, towering mountains stand tall, majestic and proud.
On these mountains, one can vaguely see the ruins of various buildings. Half of the tall stone hall has collapsed, and in the mist, stone pillars stand up to the sky.
Ye Changsheng's spiritual sense spread out completely, searching the surrounding airspace.
Nothing was found.
I don’t know if it’s because the island is too big, but all the people who came in were scattered to different directions and couldn’t touch each other at all.
After carefully observing the tall and majestic mountains on the island, Ye Changsheng took out several maps he had collected and purchased and compared them carefully.
"It looks like this should be the east side of the ruins, and it's quite close to the path given by the Six-Link Hall!"
After Ye Changsheng looked at it carefully, he put away the map and flew towards the giant island.
It took a whole day to finally land on the island.
Just now, he seemed very close to the island, but in fact it was still very far away .
After stepping onto the island, a strange look flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
There seemed to be no life on the entire island.
Apart from the lush growth of plants, no living creatures appeared.
Not even a tiny bug.
lifeless!
This island looks full of life from the outside, but once you get inside, you will find that there is no living creature at all.
Only outsiders.
"This site is notorious. It is definitely not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. We must be careful next time!"
Ye Changsheng stepped forward and, according to the instructions on the map, looked for the Mingyang Pavilion where the refining materials were stored.
Passing through the woods, Ye Changsheng could occasionally see broken stone pillars, collapsed houses, etc.
These buildings are extremely rough in style, with stone pillars that are dozens of feet in diameter and hundreds of feet in height.
Most of them fell from the towering mountains nearby, creating deep pits on the ground. The stone pillars were covered with dark green moss.
After getting closer, Ye Changsheng discovered that on top of these mountains, there were various collapsed buildings in many places.
The stone hall, which was several hundred feet high, collapsed in half. Although it was only broken walls and ruins, one could still feel its grandeur.
Through these buildings, one can also get a glimpse of the glory and power of the Lei Peng clan in the past.
Without stopping, Ye Changsheng quickly walked towards the depths of the island, passing through patches of woods. After going deep into the woods for dozens of miles, Ye Changsheng gradually realized that something was wrong.
"My magic power is fading away quickly!" He stood in an open space, his face gloomy, and muttered to himself.
No reason was found, and no one knew why the magic power was dissipating so quickly.
The deeper he went, the more he felt his own magical power was rapidly leaking out.
After walking for dozens of miles, about one eighth of his magic power was lost.
Moreover, it cannot be replenished!
When Ye Changsheng took out a spirit stone and wanted to replenish his magic power, he found that no matter how much spiritual power he absorbed, the magic power in his body would immediately dissipate.
The same is true for swallowing pills.
However, after he swallowed a more precious pill, he found that his magic power temporarily recovered to its peak and lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Then, just like before, it was lost inexplicably.
After standing there for a while, Ye Changsheng immediately turned around and flew in the direction he came from.
After flying quickly for dozens of miles and returning to the coast, he replenished his magic power again and found that his magic power quickly returned to its peak and no longer lost.
“It’s really weird!”
Ye Changsheng sighed helplessly, rushed quickly into the forest, and returned to his previous position.
Then, he continued to go deeper inside. After going a hundred miles into the island, a total of one quarter of his magic power had been lost.
"It seems that the deeper we go, the less mana there is left. Is this the dangerous part of this ruins?"
Ye Changsheng murmured softly, his eyes penetrating the trees that blocked out the sun and looking at a high peak in the distance.
The location of Mingyang Palace recorded on the map is right there.
According to this distance, by the time you reach the foot of the mountain, it would be good enough if you had only 20% of your magic power left!
"This is really a show of force. I'm afraid the dangers of this ruins are more than this. Be careful later!"
After staying there for a while, Ye Changsheng continued to move forward.
After going a few dozen miles deeper, the vibrant green gradually faded away, and a dark forest appeared before our eyes.
This is a dark forest.
The black forest covered a vast area with no end in sight. Ye Changsheng looked around and found that there was no way to get around it.
He frowned slightly. For some reason, this dark forest always gave him a vague feeling of uneasiness.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Changsheng finally stepped into the black forest.
As soon as we entered here, the world in front of us immediately became dim, and the wind blew through the forest, making a strange whistling sound.
After entering the forest, Ye Changsheng's brows have been furrowed.
With his powerful divine sense, he could always feel that something seemed to be watching him in secret.
However, I couldn't sense the source of this prying gaze.
After walking for dozens of miles, Ye Changsheng's eyes suddenly focused and his gaze rested on the branches of a large black tree in front of him.
The branch was as sharp as a thorn, and a shriveled corpse was hanging on it.
The corpse seemed to have lost all moisture and was dried, with its face distorted to the extreme, making it impossible to recognize its original appearance.
But there is no doubt that the body must have died not long ago.
It was this group of Jindan cultivators who came in at the same time as him!
For some unknown reason, he died on that big black tree.
At this moment, Ye Changsheng suddenly felt his scalp tingling and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Waves of malice rose from all directions of the forest and rushed towards him.
“Hehehe!”
“Hehehehe…”
…
All kinds of cold and evil laughter suddenly rang out from all directions, instantly enveloping Ye Changsheng, making him feel as if he was in an extremely evil world.
The overwhelming and surging malice made the hairs on Ye Changsheng's body stand up, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
His eyes stayed on the dark tree in front of him.
The dry, rough, black bark suddenly began to wriggle and crack, forming a cold, evil, and hideous face.
That face opened into a huge mouth and let out a sinister laugh towards Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng took a quick look with his spiritual sense and his expression suddenly changed.
He saw that in all directions, in the entire black forest, within the area that his spiritual sense could see, hideous faces appeared on the surface of all the dark trees!
