Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 72 A Corner of the Ancient Battlefield

As one of the representative forces in the Azure Realm, Zixia Divine Mountain owns more than just this one business in Stargazing City.

Now, Xu Taiyi, as the founder of the Zixia Divine Mountain lineage, has sworn to become a vassal of the Lu family.

Then wouldn’t the properties of Zixia Divine Mountain become the properties of the Lu family?

Back then, he was merely a true god, while the demonic dragon was a human immortal.

He resolutely chose to fight the demon dragon to the death. Did that old man Xu Taiyi keep his promise to him?

You have to understand that at that time, Lu Jiu was already fighting with the belief that he might perish and die!

Xu Taiyi had personally promised him that if he didn’t come back, he would take good care of the Lu family lineage.

As the price for breaking one’s word.

Lu Jiu said that he had set a time limit of a thousand years for him.

But what is the reality?

The Oath Soul Imprint he used was a talent technique recorded in the Human Soul Secret Arts!

Once this thing is cast, it can never be automatically canceled unless the caster actively cancels it.

Either Xu Taiyi will reach the Golden Immortal realm in the future, or he will be a servant to the Lu family for the rest of his life!

Of course, Lu Jiu didn’t tell that old man Xu Taiyi this.

When this old guy discovers it himself a thousand years later, he should be able to understand what it feels like to be deceived by someone who doesn’t keep their word.

Lu Jiu didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine, it’s perfectly justified!

…

Do you recognize this thing?

Lu Jiu took out the ancient jade tablet, which was the very thing Yun Mengxi had left in that divine array.

However, both Xu Taiyi and Cang Qingzi shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize them.

To Lu Jiu’s surprise…

When Bai Su saw the ancient jade tablet, she suddenly exclaimed, “The Ancestral Ruins Token?”

Ancestral Ruins Order?

Xu Taiyi and Cang Qingzi looked puzzled, clearly having never heard of it before.

Lu Jiu thought to himself, “As expected,” this thing contained a wisp of the aura of the Primordial Ancestral Ruins, so it was indeed related to the Ancestral Ruins.

“In ancient times, I heard an elder of the demon race say that the Ancestral Ruins Token was a token for entering a mysterious and forbidden place.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Lu Jiu nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Cang Qingzi, however, looked at Bai Su with suspicion and uncertainty, “Ancient times? You…”

Bai Su said calmly, “What do you mean ‘you’? According to the seniority of the demon race, you little turtle should call me ‘ancestor’.”

Upon hearing this, Cang Qingzi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He has lived for over a million years!

The seniority of the demon race is determined by bloodline.

Cang Qingzi’s true form is a Xuan Turtle, but his bloodline is relatively weak. He has lived for more than a million years and is only at the Celestial Immortal realm. In ancient times, he would not be considered a worthy successor.

However, Bai Su was too lazy to pay attention to him, and Cang Qingzi didn’t dare to pester him.

Xu Taiyi was very curious about where Lu Jiu had gone for the past ten thousand years and why he had never returned.

But Lu Jiu didn’t say anything, and he didn’t dare to ask. Who knew if this question would touch on some taboo topic of Lu Jiu’s, and cause him to turn on him on the spot.

In the blink of an eye.

I stayed in the Stargazing City for a few days.

With a tremendous roar, a vast celestial might surged through the void, washing away everything. The dark and cold void was purified, and boundless celestial light illuminated the heavens and the earth.

The Big Dipper Celestial Palace was fully revealed, no longer a phantom.

In the Star Gazing City.

Countless figures transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the celestial palace.

However, the celestial palace, though seemingly close at hand, felt as if it were separated by an infinite distance of time and space; no matter how far one flew, it still felt so far away.

“Let’s go too.”

Lu Jiu glanced in the direction of the Immortal Palace.

Stargazing City is a city of considerable size, yet it appears as insignificant as a drop in the ocean compared to the vast celestial palace in the distance.

He glanced at Cang Qingzi, needing no further explanation.

Cang Qingzi immediately understood, and with a flicker of his body, he transformed into an enormous black tortoise, larger than the Star Gazing City!

Lu Jiu and the others landed on the back of the Xuan Turtle.

The enormous black tortoise flew towards the celestial palace.

However, they had not yet approached the celestial palace.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ancient battlefield.

The towering, majestic mountains rise and fall, each thousands of feet high, and the ancient, sturdy trees exude an aura of antiquity and vicissitude.

The sky was shattered, the earth was desolate, and a chilling atmosphere permeated this strange space.

Looking around, corpses lay scattered about, their deaths varied and bizarre.

“What…what’s going on?”

Cang Qingzi was shocked when he entered this space.

Even as an old monster at the Celestial Immortal level, he felt his heart pounding with fear. The strange and varied corpses, and the faint aura emanating from them, sent chills down his spine!

“The celestial power emanating from the celestial palace disrupts space and time. The closer one is to the celestial palace, the more severely space and time are distorted.”

Lu Jiu slowly said, “This should be a battlefield from ancient times, very close to the Immortal Palace. It was caught up in the chaotic spacetime surrounding the Immortal Palace and formed an independent spatial secret realm.”

“You’re too conspicuous. Transform into human form.”

As Lu Jiu finished speaking.

Cang Qingzi quickly transformed from his original form into human form.

at the same time.

Others were also drawn into this space by the chaotic spacetime.

“These are not cultivators from our Azure Realm,” Xu Taiyi said.

More than a dozen cultivators, the lowest of whom were at least at the Heavenly God level, landed right next to some corpses.

“kill!”

Suddenly.

A loud battle cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The corpses did not move, but some broken weapons flew up with a whoosh, transforming into dazzling and terrifying divine light, and went to kill those people!

“Ah!” A shrill scream rang out.

In just one exchange, someone was killed on the spot, their body exploding into a bloody mist.

“Don’t panic! Form a battle formation!”

One of them summoned a defensive magic weapon, which was at the level of a true god’s artifact, forming a huge defensive light barrier.

However, this level of defensive magic weapon was torn apart in an instant.

An axe, gripped by a bloodied severed hand, was incredibly fierce and indestructible. In just a moment, more than ten cultivators from other realms were all killed and perished here!

“Are those really all dead people?” Xu Huanhuan had never seen such a scene before, and her pretty face turned pale.

Because any one of those dozen or so dead cultivators was at least a Celestial God!

“Indeed, they were all people who had died more than a million years ago, but they were all at the level of human immortals when they were alive. Although their souls were destroyed after death, it seems that a kind of obsession remained, and the innate laws had not dissipated,” Cang Qingzi said.

It was an ancient demon after all, so it still had some perspective.

From Lu Jiu’s perspective.

He had naturally noticed long ago that many places in this space had various imprints and patterns formed by innate laws, some of which were traces of battle, and some were left by humans.

The astonishing number of corpses that died here were most likely celestial soldiers from ancient times, along with some celestial generals.

Even the weakest celestial soldiers start as human immortals, and some are at the level of earth immortals. Celestial immortals can become celestial generals, but they are still at the bottom of the celestial general ranks.

The truly powerful celestial generals are at the Xuanxian level, or even the Jinxian level!

“It seems that to reach the Celestial Palace, we need to pass through this space,” Lu Jiu said with a slightly solemn expression after observing the area.

The fact that he looked so serious meant that there was a certain aura deep within this space that even he found somewhat troublesome.

This is an ancient battlefield where countless celestial soldiers and generals perished. Besides the innate law imprints and Dao patterns left behind by these celestial soldiers and generals after their deaths, there is also the aura of evil spirits and demons!

Even after they died, those heavenly soldiers and generals remained obsessed, seemingly to suppress the aura of evil spirits and demons.

Because evil spirits and demons are almost impossible to kill!

Lu Jiu felt that this trip might uncover some secrets of the ancient primordial catastrophe.
