Chapter 159: Nine Heavens Purple Jade
In the dark woods, a series of hideous, evil and rough faces appeared in front of Ye Changsheng.
Looking around, all the trees in this black forest changed at that moment.
The originally dead silent and deserted forest suddenly came alive, and thick, dark branches rushed towards Ye Changsheng.
The sharp tip can easily tear apart rocks and penetrate the human body.
Although Ye Changsheng's body was extremely strong, he was unwilling to let these sharp branches pierce his body.
A small purple sword appeared in his hand, and he snorted coldly, then swung the sword forward.
In an instant, a purple sword beam several feet wide appeared and rushed out, invincible. All the black branches along the way were chopped into pieces as soon as they came into contact with it, and fell to the ground.
The sword light rushed out for several miles before slowly disappearing. Along the way, it cut off countless branches and chopped down dozens of giant trees.
Ye Changsheng rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, and along the path where the sword light split, his figure was as fast as lightning , passing through the area like a ghost.
"The deeper you go into the island, the less mana you have left in your body. You have to deal with dangers like this along the way. No wonder so few people can leave alive!"
"If you want to pass through this black forest, you have to constantly consume your mana to sever the branches. The man I just met must have used up all his mana and was sucked dry by these strange trees!"
Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered as he rushed forward quickly, continuously chopping at the black branches attacking from the front with his purple sword.
All the sharp branches in front of him were cut off by the purple sword, while those that rushed towards him from behind and on both sides were all blocked by the silver light shining all over his body.
Unable to penetrate this layer of defense and pierce his body.
"By the time I got here, half of my mana had already been lost, but it's still equivalent to twice that of an ordinary cultivator in the early Jindan stage!"
"But even so, we must not over-consume our mana. Who knows what dangers lie ahead!"
Ye Changsheng flew forward quickly, taking out a pill and swallowing it from time to time to replenish his own mana consumption.
He was flying through the woods instead of running into the sky.
This is because, before coming here, he had heard someone say that it is best not to fly too high in the Sea King Ruins.
Ye Changsheng didn't know why there was such a saying, but he would not be stupid enough to try it himself.
There is very little information circulating about this site.
He spent ten years and only collected a small part of it.
All this is because, in the past, very few people were able to come out of here alive.
Most of those who came out kept their mouths shut and never told anyone what they encountered inside.
This is not difficult to understand.
Even if it was Ye Changsheng himself, he would not tell others about the various dangers he encountered here after he got out.
Unless it's someone close to you.
No one wants the information they worked so hard to obtain, and nearly lost their life to be easily obtained by someone who has nothing to do with them.
For example, if you know the information about the loss of mana in advance, you can prepare various precious elixirs, spiritual liquids and other things that can replenish mana, thereby avoiding death from various dangers due to excessive loss of mana.
This kind of information must be given to people close to you so that they can gain convenience when they enter the Neptune Ruins next time.
And it cannot be spread out and let irrelevant people know.
Otherwise, wouldn't they pose a threat to their descendants?
Therefore, the major sects in the Chaos Star Sea must have a lot of information about the dangers within the Sea King Ruins.
But it is difficult for outsiders to get any information about this place.
…
At this moment, in various places on the giant island, monks and monsters were moving carefully in various environments.
Someone was walking with difficulty on a gray swamp, sweating profusely, with aura flashing all over his body.
He kept taking out various elixirs to replenish his mana, but he could not keep up with the speed of consumption.
Finally, the spiritual light on his body became weaker and weaker and gradually dimmed.
In the end, when all the spiritual light on his body disappeared, a shrill scream rang out.
The human monk's face was pale, his pupils were full of fear, and he watched his body being swallowed up by the swamp bit by bit.
He cried out miserably and called for help, but there was no response from anyone around him.
Apart from him, there was no other living being, and everything was quiet.
Before the swamp swallowed the monk, despair overwhelmed him first.
In another direction, a level seven demon beast was carefully moving through a group of ruins. Its eyes were bright, and it was obvious that it was very intelligent.
Looking at the ancient demonic patterns on the stone pillars, the monster's eyes showed surprise.
It quickly came to a ruined stone temple and looked at the green stone pillar in the center of the temple. A look of ecstasy appeared on the monster's face.
There were some ancient demon characters carved on the green stone pillar. The level seven demon beast seemed to recognize these demon characters and couldn't suppress the joy on his face after seeing them.
He quickly stepped forward and reached out to turn the stone pillar.
However, when his hand just touched the stone pillar, a green light flashed.
Then, a shrill scream was heard, and the seventh-level monster was turned into ashes by the green light in an instant.
Hundreds of miles away from the place where the seventh-level monster died, a human cultivator looked at the river hundreds of feet wide in front of him with an extremely grim expression.
The river was covered with a thick fog, about one or two hundred feet high.
He took out a magic weapon and threw it into the river. In the blink of an eye, the top-grade magic weapon was swallowed up by the river water, dissolved, and disappeared.
He took out another magic weapon and threw it into the thick fog. Soon, the magic weapon was also dissolved by the fog.
It seems that both the river water and the thick fog have the ability to dissolve everything.
"What is this weird thing? I don't want my flesh body to come into contact with this river water!" The man muttered to himself with an unpleasant expression.
After thinking for a long time, the human cultivator carefully wrapped himself with magic power, stretched out a hand, and reached into the thick fog.
“Sizzle~Sizzle~”
A slight corrosive sound was heard, and the magic power wrapped in his hands was consumed rapidly, and soon the layer of light shield became weak.
The monk quickly pulled his hand back, his face turning completely gloomy.
He stood there for a long time, his expression extremely conflicted. After thinking for a long time, he finally seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth, a ruthless look appeared on his face, and flew into the sky.
Intending to fly across this strange river.
The monk flew to a height of more than two hundred feet before the thick fog in front of him disappeared. His face lit up with joy and he flew forward quickly.
However, just as he flew less than ten feet away, a green light flashed and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
In the black forest, purple sword lights kept slashing out in front of Ye Changsheng. He shuttled through the woods at a high speed. The branches he cut down behind him fell to the ground and then dissipated directly, turning into a black light and being absorbed by the injured trees.
Then, new branches began to grow again on the trees whose branches had been cut off.
This is a forest that can constantly restore itself, which is extremely strange.
The shrill cries continued to ring in Ye Changsheng's ears, mixed with vicious and cold laughter, and the entire forest was against him.
After walking forward for dozens of miles and consuming a large amount of mana, Ye Changsheng finally escaped from the black forest.
When he left, the shrill sound in the forest behind him suddenly stopped, as if what had happened before had never happened.
Looking back, I saw a quiet, dead black forest, and I couldn't sense anything unusual inside.
It was as if everything that happened just now was an illusion.
Ye Changsheng took out a few pills from his storage bag and swallowed them to quickly restore his magic power.
After fully recovering, he found that the magic power in his body was only 40% of its peak value.
"The magic power in my body is strong, so I can hold on to this point. If it were someone with weak magic power, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to activate their magic weapons if they went any further!"
"If this island is full of dangers like the Black Forest, how many people can survive?"
Standing there, Ye Changsheng had a pensive look on his face.
Although I don't know what the situation is in other places, but I think that on this island, there are dangers in every direction that are no less dangerous than the Black Forest.
There won't be many people who can survive these dangerous situations.
"Once you enter this secret realm, you can only move forward and never retreat!"
"If you want to get out alive, you can only keep moving forward, go to the teleportation array in the center, and compete for a spot to be teleported out!"
"The more people come in, the more brutal the fight will be. I have to be fully prepared!"
Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered as he looked towards the high peak in the distance.
He continued to move forward, and after walking for dozens of miles, he arrived at the foot of the target mountain.
From afar, there is a ruined temple halfway up the mountain.
That is the Mingyang Palace marked on the map given by Liulian Palace.
Ye Changsheng came to the foot of the mountain, looked at the rugged rocks, sighed helplessly, and began to climb up along the rocks like a monkey.
There is no mountain path leading to this peak, and you can only climb it by your own strength.
You can't fly yet, otherwise there will be unknown dangers.
While Ye Changsheng was trying hard to climb the mountain, different cultivators and monsters in other parts of the ruins were also looking for different opportunities.
A young woman, holding a magic weapon, kept bombarding a restriction. She was pale and panting, obviously exhausted.
She quickly swallowed a precious pill to restore her magic power, and looked towards the hall guarded by the ban with a look of surprise and desire in her eyes.
The restriction that allowed this woman to persist in attacking despite the depletion of her vitality must be guarding something that is definitely not simple.
At the foot of a light blue mountain, an elegant middle-aged man in purple clothes looked up at the steep mountain, with desire, helplessness, and eagerness in his eyes.
After a while, he sighed and climbed towards the mountain.
In other directions of this mountain, a dragon covered with fiery red scales and a lion with a body shining with blue water light also appeared here.
There was a very human light flashing in their eyes, and they stared at the top of the mountain with longing in their eyes.
But no one knew what was on this green mountain that could attract all these humans and monsters to gather here.
…
Standing on a huge rock, a hint of sigh flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
I can’t remember how many years it has been since I last experienced this feeling of climbing a mountain.
If he had not been in the secret realm, a high-level cultivator like him would never have such an experience in his entire life.
Walking forward, a palace that was mostly collapsed appeared before my eyes.
Thick stone pillars support the other half that has not collapsed. It is several hundred feet high and has a very rough style.
These stone pillars are generally carved with ancient patterns, with birds and beasts circling around, and an ancient and wild atmosphere fills the air.
On these stone pillars that have not collapsed, there is a hollow grid every few dozen feet in height, and different refining materials are placed in these grids.
Ye Changsheng took a glance and immediately saw a piece of Geng gold the size of a human head in the grid at the top of the nearest stone pillar.
In the world of cultivation, Gengjin is so precious that even a grain as big as a soybean would attract great attention, but here a piece as big as a human head appeared.
It's really amazing.
However, when one considers that the Lei Peng clan was destroyed in a distant barbaric period, the appearance of such a large piece of Gengjin is not surprising.
After all, the resources in that era were still very abundant, far from being like today, where internal circulation has reached its extreme.
"That's... a really big piece of Thunder Spirit Crystal. It's an excellent material for refining a thunder attribute magic weapon!"
"Five Elements Jade, Phoenix Stone, Ten Thousand Years Green Spirit Wood..."
Ye Changsheng looked at the top-notch refining materials stored on the top of the stone pillars around him, and suddenly felt dry in his mouth.
Each of these things, once released, would be a material that would cause a group of Nascent Soul cultivators to scramble for it.
Even if you search the entire human world, many of the materials that appear here are difficult to find.
Finally, his gaze rested on the top of a thick stone pillar, where a purple, palm-sized jade was stored in a grid.
"Nine Heavens Purple Jade!"
Ye Changsheng's eyes gleamed with a sharp light and he immediately walked to the stone pillar.
It can be seen that there is a faint light flashing in front of each grid where refining materials are stored.
That is a prohibition.
There are restrictions protecting these materials. If you want to get the things inside, you must first break these restrictions.
"According to the intelligence we got before, as long as you break any of the restrictions here, you will be immediately teleported away by an unknown force, and you will not be able to enter again!"
"I have to seize the opportunity!"
Ye Changsheng murmured softly, flew to the top of the stone pillar in front of him, took out a small purple sword, and began to try to break the restriction in front of him.
At the same time, he slapped the spirit beast bag, and silver light danced all over the sky. Tens of thousands of gold-eating insects flew out and flew towards the other stone pillars.
