Chapter 250: Ancient Ruins Appeared, and Experts All Rushed Forward Like Going to Market. (2/2)
”It becomes increasingly like a mirage. It's so weird that even Golden Rooster cannot see it. Maybe it was my Fiery Eyes that allow me to see the ruins. I hope it's just my illusion. Damn it. It must be my illusion. I CANNOT see it.” Junior Leopard murmured and slightly looked down.
......
…
It was two days later at the seashore of the East Sea.
Roaring waves crashed each other with spindrifts splashing.
When they arrived at the East Sea, the hanging ruins in the air became even more clear. Even some buildings and objects inside could be seen clearly. However, it was still in the distance.
Both Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster stopped there.
Junior Leopard silently exercised the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and hid behind a rock. Golden Rooster also held his breath and hid nearby.
Shortly after they finished hiding, two whistles over their heads pierced the silence, which were produced by two rays with different colors. Both rays were flying toward the deep sea. It turned out to be the Gang Qi flying, a skill owned by experts at Level Seven.
When the two experts flew away, Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster showed their heads over the rocks. ”Wow, the spiritual mind is powerful. After all, they are real experts at Level Eight.” Junior Leopard asked, ”Are they chasing Moon Deer of Extended Net?”
Golden Rooster shook his head and replied, ”Of course not. The chasers must have entered into the inner area of the East Sea. It is impossible for them to come here later than us.”
Suddenly a look of seriousness flashed across his face, and he said in a hurry, ”Someone is coming.” They hid again.
However, this time came four experts, not two.
”What the hell is going on? Why are there so many experts at Level Seven in the world, and why do they all come to the East Sea? Are they going to market?” Junior Leopard complained.
Jin Yuquan frowned and replied, ”Not to market, but some urgent thing must have happened.”
It would not be appalling if there were only one or two experts at Level Seven, but just now five experts appeared. In the world, experts at Level Seven were rare. Even for those millennium families and barons, those experts, as strategic figures and weapons, were very precious resources. It was inconceivable that so many experts showed up at the seashore of the East Sea. Some earth-shaking thing must have happened.
At this moment, several whistles were heard from the air.
”This time came people at Level Eight,” Golden Rooster said and was on the alert at once, but those experts just left them alone and flew toward the depths of East Sea like the first ones.
Junior Leopard slightly closed his eyes, watching them. Where they flew toward was exactly the weird ruins hanging in the sky.
”Golden Rooster, what are you planning for? I don't think you have told me that so many experts are chasing Moon Deer of Extended Net,” Junior Leopard asked. He turned dissatisfied. ”I don't want to get involved in this big trouble in the East Sea.”
”Nor do I. What about finding a place to stay before we know what exactly happened?” Golden Rooster suggested. He looked a little restless and continued, ”We have flown for two days without regular rest. Besides, we haven't contacted with Immortal Palace. Now that so many experts come to the East Sea, something must have happened here. We need to get new information.”
”OK. Where is the nearest contact point?” Junior Leopard asked.
Golden Rooster replied, ”Contact points of Immortal Palace are scattered everywhere. You should have known that.”
Junior Leopard shook his head and said, ”I still cannot imagine and get used to the fact that Immortal Palace has such enormous strength.”
Golden Rooster patted on the shoulder of Junior Leopard and said, ”Trust me. You will gradually get used to it. Let's go now.”
......
…
”Ancient Ruins? You mean the Ancient Ruins appear in the depths of the East Sea?”
It was in a town centralization beside the East Sea. Golden Rooster was quite excited about the news.
”Ancient Ruins? What's that?” Junior Leopard asked. Actually, his heart thumped with excitement, but he had to pretend that he knew nothing about it.
”The so-called Ancient Ruins is the same thing as Immortal Palace in nature,” Golden Rooster explained. ”Both of them are independent spaces created by great practicers with Divine Sense through Space Division Skill in antiquity times. The difference between the two is that Immortal Palace has always been used while the other was abandoned.”
”You mean both of them are independent spaces divided in antiquity times?” Junior Leopard asked.
”Exactly. Every school in antiquity times had such a space,” replied a woman in her forties or fifties who was standing beside Golden Rooster. Dressed in vulgar grid-printed cotton clothing, she was snacking on a handful of sunflower seeds, one by one. The shells of the seeds were being spat out from her mouth and scattered across the floor.
”But most independent spaces have been abandoned, left drifting in the hollow. The space created by Space Division Skill should be connected with a spirit. When the space owner disappears, it will not exist unless another thing substitutes the spirit. For example, the ring on your finger,” the woman continued.
Junior Leopard was startled and subconsciously stroked the ruby ring on the finger of his left hand. He regretted in his heart, ”I did disguise myself. However, we set out in a hurry, so I forget to get this eye-catching ruby ring off my finger.”
Junior Leopard chuckled to dissimulate and said, ”You have sharp eyes.” Then he took the ring off and put it in the pocket near his chest.
”Generally, if the owner of a huge divided independent space like this was dead, it will drift in the hollow and gradually disappear. Finally, it will integrate with the hollow. Only a few with substitutes will exist for a long time. Of course, when the substitute is broken, the space will also be part of the hollow,” the woman supplemented, ”but some rare and special conditions will make the space open to the world again. People call it Ancient Ruins.”
”Thank you for your introduction,” Junior Leopard said, ”but how can we know about the presence of the Ancient Ruins? Did somebody see it before?”
The woman sneered and said, ”See? Nobody can see that except people with Fiery Eyes. What a pity that the bloodline of Fiery Eyes has been cleaned out thousands of years ago!”
”People with Fiery Eyes can see the Ancient Ruins!” Junior Leopard was shocked.
”The bloodline of Fiery Eyes is the only one that enables people to directly see Ancient Ruins. But some other bloodlines can also feel the appearance of Ancient Ruins. If not so, why are there so many experts flying in the sky? Do you really think that they are going to market?” Golden Rooster added.
Junior Leopard added, ”They go for the Ancient Ruins.”
”Yes, for the Ancient Ruins,” said Golden Rooster. ”It seems that Moon Deer of Extended Net is being chased because he got the news about the presence of the Ancient Ruins. This is why he didn't go to Immortal Palace and ask for help but ran toward the East Sea instead.”
”At present, only a few super-old seniors know the Space Division Skill. Because Ancient Ruins is not attractive to them, they won't come to it,” the woman added, ”but the problem is that some other greedy people will.”
”Wow, you are such an expert on all these things!” Junior Leopard exclaimed. He seemed to be a little surprised and raised his eyebrow. Actually, he was extremely curious about the liaisons planted everywhere. With no cultivation, these people all looked worn with age as if they were ordinary people like the old man in the mortuary. Junior Leopard thought that some liaisons in other places were extraordinary as well, but he did not know why. After listening to her clear and logical analysis, he was more certain that this liaison, who appeared to be an ordinary and tacky middle-aged woman, was not that simple.
”Kiddo, don't pay attention to me. You and little Golden Rooster should go to the East Sea as soon as possible. Maybe you are lucky enough to find the entrance to the Ancient Ruins and get some benefits from it,” the woman said to Junior Leopard. ”You must have a good luck to get so much cultivation at your young age. Don't miss this opportunity. As for our liaisons, you will gradually know about us. After all, you are part of Immortal Palace.”
”You just now mention some greedy people. Who are they?” Junior Leopard asked.
”The emperor of Jin is one of them. As for others, they are not very strong. Even though you two are no match for them, you can still escape with your strength,” she replied.
Hearing this, Junior Leopard felt helpless, just looking at Golden Rooster without saying a word.
”We've got to go.” Golden Rooster turned to the woman and said, ”Aunt Hua, thank you for your news!”
”You're welcome. Just go ahead. Try your best to get some benefits. It is for thousands of years that the boring world has not changed,” Aunt Hua said, waving her hand and smiling. Eating sunflower seeds, she then walked out of the house with her chubby hip swaying.
