Free Web NovelChapter 1108: Chapter 496: Celestial Ruins Secret Realm
In the valley, the atmosphere was oppressively suffocating.
Li Yunjing and his group stood still, hardly daring to breathe, their eyes fixed on the Nascent Soul cultivators exuding terrifying auras in the void.
Every slight movement they made seemed to trigger a wave of tension among the cultivators in the valley.
Around them, other cultivators wore solemn expressions; some trembled slightly, clutching their magical treasures tightly, trying to draw a sense of security from the cold touch.
Should the Nascent Soul cultivators act, they could annihilate everyone there.
These ancient monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm had varied temperaments, and everyone feared provoking them, bringing on a deadly calamity.
Time slowly passed in this agonizing wait, each second stretched infinitely.
Suddenly, a deep rumble echoed from the depths of the valley, akin to the roar of an ancient beast.
From the once-calm valley floor, a layer of misty purple fog slowly arose.
The fog moved like a living creature, rolling and converging into various strange shapes, sometimes soaring like dragons, sometimes gliding like celestial phoenixes.
As the mist ascended unabated, an enormous stone door gradually emerged from the valley floor.
The stone door was engraved with ancient runes, each rune shimmering with a mysterious light, bearing the marks of time.
The stone door trembled slowly, producing a creaking sound that sent slight shivers through the souls of all living beings. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Seeing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the void intensified their focus, their presence growing even stronger, hinting at a confrontational stance.
Li Yunjing and those in the valley widened their eyes, locked onto the stone door, their hearts filled with awe and anticipation.
The "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm" was about to open!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the stone door gradually opened.
An ancient and powerful aura surged forth, containing such dense spiritual energy that it almost liquefied.
Following that, a long passage appeared beyond the stone door, its interior flickering with light, concealing what lay at the end.
At that moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator in a black robe couldn’t hold back and flew towards the passage.
However, as he neared the passage, a defensive barrier triggered, bursting forth with formidable energy, and sent the cultivator flying back.
"How is this possible?"
He spat blood, his face pale, evidently injured considerably.
This scene instantly quelled the restless cultivators; they realized that entry into the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm" wouldn’t be easy, needing to wait for a full opening!
"Damn it! Why isn’t it opening yet!"
"Yeah! I’m impatient!"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
...
Inside the valley, Li Yunjing and his party wore anxious expressions.
Knowing full well that the entire "Endless Mountain Range" was about to learn of the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm" opening, the longer they waited, the more people would come.
Besides these ancient Nascent Soul monsters, only Li Yunjing and their few dozen people remained.
Among these dozens, there were six Golden Core Realm cultivators.
The rest were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators; with a small number in exploration of such a realm, everyone could be adequately nourished, but if more cultivators arrived later, things would become troublesome.
As everyone waited impatiently, the light barrier at the stone door suddenly glowed, and then rippled away like water, slowly dissipating.
Meanwhile, from the passage behind the stone door, a melodious tolling of bells resonated, ethereal and ancient, seemingly traversing endless time.
"The Secret Realm has opened!"
Someone shouted, tearing apart the valley’s tranquility.
Li Yunjing and his group could no longer contain their excitement, rushing toward the passage along with many cultivators.
The Nascent Soul cultivators in the void hesitated no longer, transforming into streaks of light that darted first into the passage.
Li Yunjing, accompanied by Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, cautiously followed the crowd.
Inside the passage, they discovered its walls covered with various enigmatic patterns, which seemed to come alive in the light, continuously changing.
The passage was filled with dense spiritual energy, making everyone feel invigorated, their mana starting to flow uncontrollably.
As they delved deeper, a brightness gradually appeared ahead.
When everyone emerged from the passage, the sight before them left all stunned.
A vast world unfolded, in the sky floated countless giant stars radiating soft light. These stars varied in size and color, some were as brilliant as red rubies, others as deep as blue sapphires, intertwining and reflecting, creating a magnificent tableau. freewēbnoveℓ.com
On the ground was an extraordinary forest, with towering trees whose trunks stood like pillars of heaven, their branches bearing various fruit radiating spiritual light, some glittering with golden light, others exuding a blue chill.
Through the forest ran a crystal-clear river, its flowing water making crisp, pleasing sounds, which upon careful listening, seemed to be playing a beautiful symphony.
At the end of the river stood a gigantic palace.
The palace was built of an unknown white stone, emitting a sacred light.
Its doors were closed, but the intricate carvings on them compelled admiration.
Among the carvings were ancient cultivators wielding powerful magic, mysterious demon beasts galloping and roaring, and intriguing magical treasures exuding dazzling brilliance...
