233 Meeting Fellow Townsmen (1)

In the depths of the underground, Jiang Ming held the Scarlet Separation Sword and carefully advanced.

As he walked among the rubble, the disturbance he brought with him directly caused a wall to collapse, sending thick smoke and dust into the air.

Looking forward, the ruins of the huge palace looked like a scene of a dystopia. It was rotten and lonely, and no one knew how many years it had been there. From its grand scale, one could guess the glory of the past.

At the very front was that faint glimmer of light.

Unable to see any other way, Jiang Ming could only walk step by step toward the glimmer.

“I don’t know how long it has been since anyone has come here.”

The bricks and stones used to build the palace were rare spiritual materials that would not decay after thousands of years. However, these palaces here were all in ruins. A gust of wind could probably blow down a large area.

“The blessed land related to the Black Stone Ruins is only a force from ten thousand years ago. However, these ruins are far more than ten thousand years old. Perhaps it wasn’t built by the people of the blessed land back then, and this secret place was discovered during an exploration. Currently, the Black Rock Ruins are ancient. But this place is clearly older.”

Jiang Ming suddenly thought of the mysterious martial artist who was sitting cross-legged in the cave before. Was he just a guardian of the pa.s.sage that led here?

“Then what is he protecting?”

Jiang Ming shook his head. He could not figure it out at all. Therefore, he was too lazy to think about it.

He casually walked into a pile of ruins. He could vaguely see some metal and other things. However, they all turned to dust when he touched them with his hand.

Even in the immortal cultivation world, there was nothing that could last forever. No matter how precious these things were in the past, they had long been reduced to dust.

Jiang Ming no longer thought about exploring the ruins. He increased his speed and strode forward.

Even if there were any secrets here, the blessed land from ten thousand years ago should have been explored by now. Perhaps he could find some clues in the Black Rock Ruins a few years later.

In the process of moving forward, Jiang Ming also tried to release a wave of spiritual energy. After all, there was no gray fog here. Therefore, maybe he could use some immortal cultivation techniques.

However, as soon as he released his spiritual energy, his expression changed.

An invisible force descended from the void. Jiang Ming had not felt that familiar and terrifying feeling for many years.

Streaks of blood appeared on the surface of Jiang Ming’s body. Some cuts were so deep that his bones could be seen. His head was almost chopped off. In just a moment, Jiang Ming suffered multiple fatal injuries.

If it were any other immortal cultivator, they might have already lost their lives in this moment.

Thankfully, his inextinguishable origin light was activated in time, quickly repairing his injuries. In the blink of an eye, he was back to normal.

Jiang Ming’s eyes were filled with shock. This s.p.a.ce buried deep underground had the same rules as the mortal world where the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest was located. All techniques related to spiritual energy were forbidden.

In fact, the laws here were even harsher. The backlash he suffered after triggering the laws was even more intense, and his head almost fell to the ground in an instant.

Even though Jiang Ming had already built his foundation in martial arts, his body was still as fragile as paper in the face of these laws. He was no different from a mortal.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath and no longer used immortal cultivation techniques. He continued to move forward into the depths of the ruins.

“This mysterious ruin has existed for more than ten thousand years. Could it be that the mortal world also has such deep secrets?”

He looked at the magnificent ruins and suddenly had a thought. “Perhaps the laws of the mortal world were not created naturally but were man-made, just like this place. Maybe tens of thousands of years ago, the mortal world was also a prosperous place for immortal cultivators. The Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest and other such areas may all have ancient secrets buried within them!”

However, Jiang Ming could not figure out what kind of powerhouse could change the world and give birth to such terrifying and cruel laws.

He subconsciously looked at the deepest part of the ruins, at the glimmer of light that reached the sky.

“Perhaps, I can find a trace of all the secrets there.”

Jiang Ming suppressed curiosity in his heart and continued to move forward toward the faint light.

However, just as Jiang Ming was flying forward at full speed, an ear-piercing whistle suddenly sounded from behind him.

Jiang Ming was shocked and quickly looked back.

A black sword rushed out of the foggy pa.s.sage. After a few twirls in the air, it seemed to have found Jiang Ming. It made a clear sound and shot toward him.

“Why is this d.a.m.n thing here again?”
