CHAPTER 322: DANGERS OF GREAT SKY RUINS

" All the disciples of Four Seasons Valley, I have an important announcement to make."

Xia Yuqing’s voice echoed across as she stood in the air with an elegant posture.

Her green robe fluttered with the wind, her aura was like a flower amidst the winter fields, cold and noble. Most disciples of Four Seasons Valley couldn’t even look at her due to the sheer pressure her figure exerting.

" The Heavenly Fountain Palace has been opened in the Great Sky Ruins. It’s once a lifetime event that you must know about."

" The Great Sky Ruins and the Heavenly Fountain Palace are filled with countless dangers. However, they also contain fortuitous encounters which may change your entire life."

" Therefore, the disciples from inner sect rankings and core sect shall participate in the expedition to the Heavenly Fountain Realm."

" Elder Meng Zhi and Grand Elder Wu Liang shall accompany you all in this expedition."

" For all disciples, You must follow the order of the elders and the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming." Xia Yuqing looked at everyone.

" Now, all of you return and start preparations. We shall depart to the Great Sky Ruins in two days."

" Saintess Mu Qinglian, True Disciple Long Ming, head disciples Ming Yuexin, all come to my place."

Not long after, Long Ming entered the Desolate Winter Palace, standing along with Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin.

" Brother Long, It’s been a while since I saw you." Min Yuexin’s smile bloomed as she looked at Long Ming.

" Not bad, Sister Ming, You have improved quite a lot." Long Ming nodded. " You have also refined the Scorching Summer Sword and completely made it your own."

" Indeed, I didn’t dare to be lazy." Ming Yuexin grinned at Mu QInglian. " After all, Qinglian is already so ahead of me."

" Sister Ming, You are really..." Mu Qinglian couldn’t help but sigh. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she saw the lovey dovery interactions between Long Ming and Ming Yuexin.

Long Ming averted his gaze when Xia Yuqing appeared. He could feel Xia Yuqing’s light snort when she saw her.

" I believe you have all recovered since last time, disciple?" Xia Yuqing’s tone contained an icy touch.

Long Ming cupped his fists as he bowed with a flattering smile. " Master’s generosity knows no bounds. The I got last time certainly provided me with some new insights."

" Hmph..." Xia Yuqing looked away as she snorted lightly, a faint shade of pink covering her cheeks.

Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin remained confused as they looked at each other, not understanding the talks.

Xia Yuqing coughed lightly as she looked at the three of them. " The Heavenly Fountain Palace has appeared. However, it will probably take at least a month for everyone to open the gate of the palace."

" For now, You will lead the disciples and stay in the Great Sky Ruin to train them. Not to mention, the Great Sky Ruin will be also open partially, allowing you to find rare treasures of heaven and earth there."

" Grand Elder Wu knows the situation there. She will guide you in the Great Sky Ruin." Xia Yuqing explained.

" Each of you will carry a Blessed Imperial Treasure. As for Long Ming, you can carry a True Imperial Treasure." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming.

" You all are the precious pillars of our sect. No matter what kind of treasure or opportunity you locate, you must look after your safety first."

" I understand, Sect Master."

" I will follow your orders, Master."

Both Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin bowed before Xia Yuqing. Long Ming also nodded before thinking something.

" Master, I wish to enter the treasury again. I believe I might have a clue to Ancestor’s secret vault in the Great Sky Ruin."

" What? You have the clue to it?" Xia Yuqing was surprised. " The last person who knew where it was located was Empress Crimson Sky. However, after that, no one was able to find it."

Long Ming grinned. " But I will, Master. That vault belongs to our sect. How can I just leave it?"

" The main reason the Sky Martial Tower attacked us was solely because of this. But now, we have the capabilities to take what belongs to us."

Xia Yuqing sighed as she nodded. " Very well, I will allow it. But don’t force yourself too much on it."

" Your focus should be breaking through to Harmonization Realm and completing the minor physique tribulations for your Myriad Mountains Sacred Physique."

She took out a jade slip and passed it to Long Ming. " I have recorded some of my experiences of Harmonization Realm in this jade slip. Make sure you study it."

" Thank you, Master. I will use it well." Long Ming nodded with gratitude.

Two days later, they all gathered before an ancient treasure boat. The treasure boat was big enough to easily carry hundreds of disciples of Four Seasons Valley and travel ten thousand li in a single day.

Since Four Seasons Valley’s financial situation already returned to its former glory, they didn’t care about burning spirit stones to fuel the treasure boat.

" Grand Elder, How is your cultivation going?" Long Ming smiled as he approached Grand Elder Wu Liang.

Wu Liang nodded with an amicable smile. " I have already reached the bottleneck. In a year or two, I might be able to ascend to the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm."

" My injuries to the cultivation base are also healed. Hence, I won’t be troubled by any sort of problem in the future."

Ming Yuexin clenched her fist in excitement. " Well, This time, Both of our elders accompanied us to the expedition. I am sure we will get the best treasures from the Heavenly Fountain Palace."

Wu Liang merely caressed Ming Yuexin’s hair. " Girl, Don’t be too greedy. Even I and Meng Zhi there, we can’t fight against the whole world."

Turning around, Meng Zhi had already gathered the disciples on the main deck.

" It will take three days for us to reach the Great Sky Ruin. In the meantime, everyone should familiarize themselves with the Great Sky Ruins first." Meng Zhi announced. " Grand Elder Wu shall speak some words."

Wu Liang got up and looked at everyone. " First of all, you must have a question in your mind. Why are we going to the Great Sky Ruin only now if it’s filled with treasures?"

" Because you must have known, It’s one of the two great forbidden zones in the Rain Dragon Continent. Even Dao Refining Realm cultivators can be killed easily there."

" Other than some ancient families residing within the Great Sky Ruins, no one can cross even the outer perimeter of the ruin."

" However, when the Heavenly Fountain Palace appears, the Great Sky Ruin undergoes a vast change."

" The barriers affecting the outsiders vanish and the natural treasures of heaven and earth reveal themselves."

" But of course, there will be cultivation restrictions around the Great Sky Ruins. Only Harmonization Realm and below could walk safely."

" Grand Elder Wu, What will happen if Nine Transformations of Soul Real or even higher enters?" A disciple questioned.

" Their aura would attract the attention of higher rank Ruin Demons and other mysterious beings in the Great Sky Ruins." Wu Liang spoke in a grave voice.

" Not to mention, there is also a type of curse which can even kill Dao Refining Realm cultivators. Hence, everyone tries their best inside the Great Sky Ruins."

" First of all, We will explore the Great Sky Ruins. After that, we will prepare for the Heavenly Fountain Palace."
