Chapter 381 The True Ancient World!
"Hiss, hiss..."
The pangolin wagged its tail pitifully, signaling its owner to follow.
"Let's go." Xiao Yu nodded and followed immediately.
Soon, the man and the pangolin ventured thousands of meters underground once more.
It continued until we reached a depth of four or five thousand meters underground.
Xiao Yu finally saw it; it was a pitch-black vortex.
However, this vortex is different from the previous ones.
That kind of extreme darkness, so profound, is like a black hole that can devour everything.
As soon as the pangolin arrived, it unconsciously moved slowly closer.
Then, from within that dark vortex, clumps of black gas transformed into liquid and surged forth.
"Xiao Jia, come back quickly!" Xiao Yu shouted.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, everything within a radius of several miles turned into ice sculptures.
The black mist, which resembled tentacles, was all frozen in mid-air.
The pangolin obediently stopped in front of Xiao Yu, looking warily at the dark vortex.
However, to Xiao Yu's surprise, after he froze part of the dark, viscous liquid, the rest quickly shrank back into the spatial rift and disappeared.
Then, Xiao Yu saw a semi-transparent spatial rift.
"What...is inside this?" Xiao Yu examined the spatial rift, and for some reason, he felt an attraction emanating from it.
Moreover, some human structures can be vaguely seen inside, along with the sounds of human roars.
"Could there be living people inside?" Xiao Yu asked, somewhat surprised and uncertain.
There was absolutely no sign of any living person at the spatial rift!
"No, these roars sound more like those shadowy monsters! Could this be the special place that Lord Xueye City Lord was talking about?" Xiao Yu thought of the shadowy monsters that Lord Heitu City Lord had created in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
He also thought of what the Lord of Snow Night City had said earlier.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu stopped and did not continue forward.
With a thought, he sent a telepathic message to the Snow Night City Lord of the Ruins City, informing him of his discovery.
What Xiao Yu didn't expect was...
He waited for less than five minutes before five or six figures appeared in front of him.
Lord Xueye, Master Ashura, and the four city lords from the east, west, south, and north gathered here.
"So fast?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.
"City Lord Xiao Yu!" City Lord Xue Ye nodded, looked Xiao Yu up and down with a serious expression, and then nodded approvingly, "Fortunately, you didn't rush in, otherwise... it would have been dangerous."
The reason they rushed over immediately was...
The concern was that Xiao Yu might succumb to temptation and venture inside for exploration.
"What exactly is inside?" Xiao Yu asked, frowning.
After thinking for a moment, the Lord of Snow Night City said in a deep voice, "A true ancient ruin!"
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and probed, "You mean, this is a secret realm?"
He knew, of course, that the Snow Night City Lord was not referring to the ruins of the City of Ruins.
"A secret realm? You could call it that."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Master Ashu glanced at him in surprise and said in a deep voice, "There may be ancient human legacies or treasures inside... It's not unreasonable to call it a secret realm."
"An ancient inheritance, a treasure?" Xiao Yu's heart stirred slightly.
Therefore, those who have received ancient inheritances all obtained them in secret realms.
Now, he is becoming increasingly interested in the so-called ancient world.
Because it is obvious that the so-called ancient world of the wasteland is completely different from the Earth he knows.
After all, there are no divine weapon forging techniques or teleportation arrays on Earth...
These things are all so unscientific!
But Xiao Yu was certain that this world was Earth!
After all, the moon and the sun are unique to Earth.
Although it looks several times bigger than before.
With Xiao Yu's keen eyesight, he could even vaguely see the craters on the moon.
In short, not every world can have a moon and a sun, right?
And... all sorts of familiar plants and animals from Earth...
Seeing the interest in Xiao Yu's eyes, Master Ashura shook his head and dissuaded him, "Young man, I know you are very strong! But... in the past, countless people have perished when they ventured into ancient ruins to explore."
"That's right!"
The City Lord of Snow Night also wore a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "In the past, ancient ruins have appeared in the City of Ruins many times. However, most of those who entered the ruins each time ended up perishing, even my father... a peak ninth-tier expert,..."
As he finished speaking, a hint of sadness appeared on the face of the Snow Night City Lord.
Seeing this, the city lords, including Sotun, could only shake their heads and sigh.
"Even a ninth-tier expert is at risk of perishing?" Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
I was relieved that I hadn't barged in rashly.
"What exactly is this so-called ancient world?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I don't know either," the Snow Night City Lord explained, suppressing his sadness.
"From the incomplete information about the secret realm, it seems to be a world where... powerful beings abound."
The strong people back then were completely different from us; they became stronger step by step through their own cultivation.
At the beginning... perhaps, it was far less effective than our capacity for awakening.
However, in the later stages of cultivation, even the most ordinary cultivator can be considered invincible in this world.
With just one move, they could wipe out a large number of us eighth and ninth-level beings.
Unfortunately, a great war that followed destroyed everything, annihilating all of them.
Those powerful humans didn't even have time to leave behind much of their legacy before they were completely wiped out!
Therefore, all the so-called traditions we can find now are incomplete.
"I see!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu suddenly understood.
He had a rough idea of what was going on; perhaps the era he once lived in no longer existed.
Who knows how many years have passed? Thousands of years? Or millions of years?
Or perhaps, just after I transmigrated, the Earth suddenly experienced a spiritual revival, and humanity ushered in the era of cultivation?
But in the end, due to some unknown devastating blow, the era of cultivation came to an end.
The reason why humans who are still alive today are born with the ability to awaken extraordinary abilities is because...
Xiao Yu guessed that this was because the genes of the ancient ancestors underwent a complete transformation after they cultivated.
Their descendants are naturally extraordinary.
However, because they lost the methods of cultivation, they are far inferior to their ancestors.
However, Xiao Yu has a system and already possesses many powerful talents.
Isn't that the same as... mastering a large number of powerful spells?
Besides, I am at the tenth or eleventh level, while my opponent is only at the first or second level. What use is a stronger technique to me?
Therefore, the reason why these people are not as good as our ancient ancestors is that their level of understanding is too low.
"Since that's the case..." Xiao Yu then thought of something and asked, "What about the previous secret realms? Surely we didn't avoid exploring them just because they were dangerous..."
"Since my father passed away."
After suppressing his sorrow, the Lord of Snow Night City spoke again: "Although the entrances to the secret realms have reappeared around the City of Ruins many times, for a long time no one dared to enter those ruins. But... there are always some lucky ones who obtain treasures or inheritances from the ruins and soar to great heights."
Therefore, in order to improve my strength, I sought cooperation with Sunset City and Ghost Lantern City, which also have ninth-tier experts, to explore together. Whether or not one can obtain treasures and inheritances there depends entirely on individual strength.
"Gathering a group of powerful individuals to explore together? That's not bad!" Xiao Yu nodded.
He couldn't help but guess that it might be because most of the secret realms appeared in cities of ruins.
Sunset City and Ghost Lantern City were dissatisfied and had always coveted the City of Ruins, wanting to take control of the situation themselves.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at the Lord of Snow Night City with even greater respect.
The lords of the other two cities were obsessed with monopolizing the ruins, but they never considered whether they had the strength to obtain the treasures and inheritances.
On the contrary, the Lord of Snow Night City was very carefree and decisive.
You will have the opportunity to obtain treasures, improve your strength, and explore with others.
Although, it was fraught with danger and a matter of life and death.
The difference in their magnanimity and methods is immediately apparent!
