The Sacred Ruins

Chu Feng was truly shocked. He had only dug out an ancient zither, but it had already caused such a world-shaking commotion.

The entire world had been cut open and the cycle of reincarnation had been cut off. The ancient hall had been pierced through by the multicolored runic light beam and the creatures within the beehive had been blasted apart one after another.

Even though they had been heavenly-bestowed experts for generations, they were now as weak as fireflies and had been extinguished in an instant. Their lives were too insignificant compared to the extraordinary power at this moment.

“This is the result of the faint sound of the zither resonating with that root!”

Chu Feng was moved. He realized that this terrifying result wasn’t just due to the unintentional plucking of the stone zither string. It was also related to the trembling of the unknown plant’s root.

Rumble!

The sky collapsed and the Earth split apart. Ghosts wailed and gods howled. The void here exploded as if it wanted to tear apart the greater world and the boundless universe. A beam of light pierced through the heavens.

The pitch-black void seemed to be swallowed by an endless abyss. This area was split open and darkness enveloped everything, covering reincarnation.

Was this the appearance of the outside world? It was frighteningly black and nothing could be seen!

Suddenly, a huge object appeared and cut through the void, squeezing out the darkness and heading towards this dilapidated place.

What was that?

It was actually... a root!

It was too thick and seemed to have crossed the heavens and extended from the outside world to this place.

No, it was originally here. However, it lay dormant during normal times and wasn’t known by others.

“It’s the root in that pond!”

Chu Feng was shocked. The roots of the unknown plant he had seen earlier could only be considered the ends.

Only at this moment, when the sky collapsed and the Earth collapsed, and the reincarnation was broken, did it reveal its true appearance. Its true form was actually boundless and connected to the outside world.

“The ends I saw were connected to the bottom of the pond, absorbing the secret liquid. In addition, there was also a stone zither wrapped around it.”

The scene of the Apocalypse even tore apart the reincarnation. A root pierced through the heavens from here.

But what people could see in the real scene was boundless darkness. It was like a vast and boundless abyss that enveloped all directions. and a strand of root was like the only iron bridge connecting to the outside world. was that the only way to survive?

Chu Feng was seriously suspicious. The world had been cut open and the cycle of reincarnation had been cut off. The function of the stone zither was secondary. It was mainly caused by the rolling of the mysterious root!

Sure enough, when the destruction reached all levels, the entire world fell silent as if it had stopped. The beam of runic light blossoming from the zither music didn’t destroy everything easily and didn’t want to cut everything down. It was more because the movements of the roots were too great.

Chu Feng stood in the ruined land. The stone jar was sparkling and sparkling. He was like an outsider and everything had nothing to do with him. This further proved that the origin of the jar was astonishing.

Even this scene of the world collapsing and reincarnation sinking couldn’t affect it!

“Eh!”

Chu Feng was astonished. The ruined land, after the incomplete palace hall was cut open, was still there and hadn’t completely collapsed.

Moreover, the beehive in the distance wasn’t the target of the attack.

The true death was the countless deaths and injuries of the “Beepae”in that area!

Nine out of ten holes had been destroyed. Under such fluctuations, 99% of those creatures had withered and died thoroughly. Not to mention a physical body, not even a trace of true spirit was left behind. There was no such thing as reincarnation.

This was both sad and laughable. In the cycle of reincarnation, once one died, they would be completely cut off from reincarnation.

One could see that when Shi Qin’s weakest vibrato was released, the multicolored runic light spread towards the beehive. It looked very gentle and very gentle as it caressed all the ‘pupae’in the corpse land.

The scene was terrifying. Even if they were only skin and bones, their blood splattered in the air. The so-called geniuses of past generations, the kings who once gathered here, actually died so tragically.

In the end, some creatures survived. There were humans, demonic birds, and even mutated beasts. They actually didn’t have any grief or anger.

On the contrary, the few surviving creatures all went crazy. They were incomparably excited, and could even be considered crazy. Their hair was disheveled, their feet were bare, or their feathers stood on end. They soared up into the sky and continuously hissed.

The eyes of these few creatures were scarlet red, and they seemed to be on the verge of going crazy.

They only stopped their madness when their roots trembled.

The living creatures all prostrated themselves before the roots and then made the same choice. They hunched their bodies and climbed onto the huge roots that spanned across the darkness of nothingness. They quickly left.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be fighting to cross over and leave the bitter sea of the mortal world. It was as if this was a journey to become an immortal and they had embarked on a path of complete transcendence!

Chu Feng was in a daze. What kind of situation was this?

He had thought that the surviving creatures would rush over and fight him to the death. He hadn’t expected that the survivors would actually leave without looking back. They were all so excited that they went crazy.

He seemed to have been ignored. Or perhaps those creatures hadn’t discovered him?

“The selection is over!”

At this time, a mechanical voice sounded. There were no emotional fluctuations and no emotions contained within.

Chu Feng’s scalp went numb. could he have been discovered by the gravekeeper?

Soon, he realized that he was overthinking things. It was really just a programmed voice. It was like the voice of an ancient machine making a routine announcement.

Of course, the voice was special. It was produced through the vibration of the rules and could be understood by all races.

The Great Dao was heartless and had no self. Could this be the embodiment of reality?

Or could it be that the so-called Great Dao was merely a mechanical process that destroyed the individual’s true self and became a cold and numb stone embryo, clay figurine, and wooden sculpture.

“I unintentionally touched the stone zither and seemed to have activated some sort of selection in advance. The zither runes covered the beehive. Was it selecting creatures with potential? Those who weren’t qualified were killed while the experts could cross over?”

Chu Feng felt that this might be the truth.

Every once in a while, this place would automatically perform this kind of ritual.

Today, it was only because he had accidentally barged in and interfered with the process in advance.

...

He looked into the distance. The enormous roots were spread out in the darkness like a single iron chain. They were placed on the Abyss and were the only way out.

Those few surviving creatures were too much like malicious ghosts. They climbed away at high speed and looked strange and terrifying.

“Is this the path to becoming an immortal, the path to transcendence?”

But no matter how one looked at it, it was a struggle between malicious ghosts in hell!

Chu Feng had an impulse to follow them and see what was going on.

Where did this root lead to? Even reincarnation had been broken. What was the origin of this root? Could it lead to the heavens? !

But in the end, he held back his impulse. He really couldn’t let his temper run wild. There was definitely a huge pit here. Looking at those malicious ghosts, could they really have a good ending?

When the place gradually calmed down, the void closed and the huge rhizome disappeared, leaving only the tip at the bottom of the pool!

Despite such a huge commotion, the pool actually didn’t move at all. Not even a single crack was opened, and the secret liquid didn’t increase or decrease.

What shocked Chu Feng even more was that the world that had been cut open was also slowly healing. The broken reincarnation was reconnecting, and even the collapsed and destroyed temples were reassembling.

He felt as if his scalp was about to explode. His temples were throbbing. This place was too strange. Everything that had happened was originally arranged?

...

In the end, he clenched his teeth. How could he leave empty-handed after entering the Treasure Mountain? He walked towards the pool.

Of course, he didn’t want to collect the secret liquid. He used his great will to control his body’s instincts and didn’t absorb even a single drop.

In his opinion, this was the dead man’s liquid. No matter what, it would make it difficult for him to swallow it. In addition, it made his soul tremble when he had the primal desire. He felt intense unease and felt that there was some hidden danger.

What he wanted was the stone zither at the bottom of the pond. That was definitely an extraordinary ancient artifact!

It could actually control the strongest experts of the past generations and select the best among them. The sound of the zither could shake the world and shake the Earth.

As for whether or not the roots would cut open the world and cut off reincarnation, Chu Feng didn’t think about it. He just wanted to take Shi Qin away.

Once he decided, he would act. He firmly believed that the stone jar could withstand the attack of the colorful runic light beam.

However, everything surprised him and made him extremely unwilling.

When he attacked again, Shi Qin was like an illusory bubble. In the blink of an eye, it returned to nothingness. It was extinguished in an instant and completely disappeared.

“Projection? !”

Chu Feng revealed a thoughtful expression as he stared at the roots. was the stone zither projected along the roots? Could it be that if he wanted to see its true form, he needed to go to the ultimate land connected to the roots?

This meant that if he continued to chase after it, he might have to transcend the world. He didn’t know if there was a way back.

After a long time, Chu Feng left this grand ancient hall and explored other areas.

After all, there was still a group of dilapidated halls in this special land of reincarnation. One of them was already so strange, but what about the other places?

Each hall was separated by a dark abyss that devoured all life. Without a stone jar in hand, any living creature would have to pay the price of their life if they set foot in this place.

This was also the reason why this place was so quiet. Other than some corpse slaves wandering around, there were no other experts guarding this place.

Time didn’t take too long. Chu Feng walked past one ancient hall after another. His face was filled with shock and astonishment. His emotions were fluctuating and his heart was in turmoil.

There were a total of nine halls, all of which were similar in appearance. They were all stealing the remains and corpses of various worlds to refine the secret liquid.

There were pools in each of the nine halls and mountain-sized beehives. The so-called experts of past generations were all sleeping inside.

There were even projections of stone zither at the bottom of the pools of the nine halls.

On this day, Chu Feng made his move again and again. He activated the programmed screening in advance and moved the projections of the stone zither.

In the end, the things that happened were all the same. There were a few survivors with boundless potential in each hall. They crossed the roots and transcended.

“I’ll go all out and take a look. It’s worth the risk just for that Stone Qin. It’s definitely a great killing weapon!”

Chu Feng wanted to sneak over and take a look.

In the last hall, he put his actions into action.

“Jar, we’ll both suffer and prosper together. Come, let’s cross this boundless darkness and follow the bridge of roots to see if we can transcend or go to hell!”

Once Chu Feng had made up his mind, he began to act decisively.

He was like a divine ape as he climbed up the huge roots. In a trance, it was as if he was really crossing the boundless greater world and leaving the heavens to go beyond the world!

The surroundings of the roots were shrouded in endless darkness. Indistinct cries and wails of evil spirits actually came from extremely distant places. It was quite terrifying.

What was it like outside the world? Where did this sound come from?

Was this bridge the only thing that could cross over?

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Feng’s body trembled because he felt a peaceful aura. Furthermore, there were gradually specks of light in front of him.

“Discovered a foreign body outside the path has entered the heavens. Begin — extermination!”

A cold and emotionless voice sounded. It was very mechanical, like a ruthless Great Dao, but also like it was being emitted from a clay sculpture.

Chu Feng was stunned.

“Am I about to enter the heavens? Isn’t that something that can only be achieved after becoming a peak level life form? A place that only supreme immortal emperors can reach has been smuggled out by me just like that? !”

He was a little confused, but he had no choice but to quickly wake up. At that moment, a huge crisis had descended. was he about to be wiped out? !
