Su Qing stroked her red hair and said, "Your methods are wrong. If you want to break the restriction, you'll need to break it from the inside. It is simply impossible to open it from the outside."
The others were puzzled, but no one dared to object to it. That was because they knew that if they were to talk about their attainments in formations, they might not be able to match up to Su Qing.
Su Qing did not care if anyone else believed it or not. She suddenly took out a wooden box from her spatial treasure. Then she opened the wooden box and a dazzling golden light shone from inside.
"Break!" Su Qing pointed at the great formation of the city with her bare hands.
BOOM!
Accompanied by a loud sound akin to the collapse of mountain rock, a huge gale swept up within the city. That gale seemed to have received some sort of command as it slammed out from inside the city, violently smashing into the restriction at the entrance.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
A sound that caused one's ears to ache rang out as if the world was about to collapse. Countless enormous cracks suddenly appeared on the originally firm spirit formation. Like spider webs, these cracks slowly began to open up.
Boom!
The entire formation that was restricting others from entering the Ancient City exploded with a loud bang and a domineering aura instantly surged out.
"Plop! Plop!"
All of the cultivators that were flying in the sky felt as if they were being pressed down by a powerful pressure.
"What a strong pressure!" The faces of a few Martial Saints and Martial Gods changed as they too fell. For a time, there was no longer any existence in the sky. Even the Dragon Boat of the Soaring Cloud Holy Land was forced to land on the ground.
Ye Xiao was mixed in with the group of cultivators from the Spirit Origin Holy Land. He was originally standing on the ground, so right now, he was much better off than those cultivators who had fallen from the sky and were in an extremely sorry state.
"Ye Xiao, so you were here." At some point, Tian Yuqin had walked over to Ye Xiao's side. She was curious in her heart as to why Ye Xiao was able to remain so calm and collected all this time when even Martial Gods were very curious about this Ancient Ruin.
Seeing Ye Xiao being entangled by Tian Xiong, many young cultivators revealed sinister expressions.
Ye Xiao ignored them, directly walking forward. Because of that pressure, almost everyone, regardless of cultivation, could only walk on the ground.
"It seems that the owner of this Ancient Ruin is much more powerful than we imagined." Tian Xiong sighed.
Ye Xiao followed the rest of the group and rushed into the Ancient Ruin. The path to the city gates was smooth.
"Elder Su is indeed worthy of being called a genius array master. We can't even consider ourselves worthy." Master Zheng and the others also let out a long sigh.
He did not expect that Su Qing would be able to cause the restriction to break from inside. He really didn't know what was in that wooden box. Although everyone was extremely curious, they did not dare to ask what exactly was inside the wooden box in front of the people from the Soaring Cloud Holy Land.
Soaring Cloud Holy Land is the strongest among the ten Holy Lands. It also has a deep relationship with "Divine Mountain" which is ruling the four out of ten Holy Lands. As for the other six holy lands, another two forces similar to the "Divine Mountain" were ruling three Holy Lands each.
It is said that the son of the Leader of "Divine Mountain" is the current Leader of the Soaring Cloud Holy Land, and he has taken a fancy to Su Qing. It is also rumored that both of them were about to get engaged.
So, no one dared to offend Su Qing.
As Ye Xiao entered the city, a chilling aura assaulted his senses.
"This place is so strange. The spiritual energy here seems to be in a mess. I can't even absorb it." Tian Yuqin had a strange expression. The other cultivators who entered also felt something was different. They had no way to absorb the spiritual energy in this place.
Ye Xiao saw Tian Yuqin's pale face and placed a few pills in her hands, saying "These pills can recover spiritual energy. We can't absorb the spirit energy here, but we'll have to use our spiritual energy to fend off the dangers inside the Ancient Ruin. We can only recover our depleted spirit energy by consuming pills."
"This... Where did you get so many Spirit Recovery Pills?" Tian Yuqin pursed her lips into a smile when she saw Ye Xiao offering her so many pills. She is from one of the holy lands, how could she not recognize what kind of pills Ye Xiao was giving her.
What she couldn't understand was, how did Ye Xiao get his hands on these pills.
Ye Xiao didn't reply to her words and continued walking forward. Tian Yuqin snorted. She had never seen anyone act this way before.
"You are obviously young, yet you still pretend to be old. Let's see how long you can keep up the act!" Tian Yuqin glanced at Ye Xiao and silently kept the Spirit Recovery Pulls.
"Fairy Tian!"
Shen Long walked to Tian Yuqin's side and said with a smile, "Fairy Tian, I've brought quite a few pills this time. I've even prepared some top-grade ones. If Fairy Tian feels unwell, tell me at any time."
Tian Yuqin just nodded her head. She wasn't interested in the pill that he handed her. Nodding her head, she once again chased after Ye Xiao who has already walked to a distance.
A trace of killing intent flashed through Shen Long's eyes when he saw Tian Yuqin chase after Ye Xiao.
"Brat, since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Beneath the grand and imposing city walls, everyone appeared extremely insignificant. Only when one was close enough could one feel a deep shock. The pressure was so great that one would be unable to breathe.
In front of the city, there were many badly damaged corpses. These corpses did not look like human corpses. Each one of them was extremely large. Their sparkling bones emitted a cold light that sent shivers down one's spine.
"They are demons' corpses... But why do they have human faces? "
"I just tested it. My flying sword can't even cut through the skin of a corpse. How powerful must these corpses be when they were alive?"
The corpses in front of every one were piled up in a mess, forming a scene of corpses scattered all over the place.
"A great battle might have occurred here and even such powerful existences died here. I wonder just what happened to them." Tian Yuqin sighed.
Ye Xiao stood in front of a pile of corpses, watching everything. The light in his eyes was becoming more and more intense. These were not the corpses of the Demons, nor were they humans.
They were people from a special race of the Ancient Time known as the Sky Ghost Race. Ye Xiao was able to recognize this because of the Second Test of the First Trial inside the Well Of Hell.
It is said that the Sky Ghost Race was one of the most powerful races of Ancient Times. The people of the Sky Ghost Race have the bodily features of humans, however, their heights are that of Giants. Moreover, they could easily phase through walls like a ghost. Even restrictive formations couldn't stop the people of Sky Ghost Race from coming and going as they wish. Only by using a special means and very strong restriction could one block the people of Sky Ghost Race from using their innate talent to come and go like ghosts everywhere.
Ye Xiao saw a token near a Sky Ghost and picked it up.
"What exactly happened that caused them to become like this?" Ye Xiao muttered.
Ye Xiao's train of thought was suddenly interrupted when he sensed something on his shoulder.
Shen Long suddenly placed a hand on Ye Xiao's shoulder and coldly said, "Brat, what are you holding in your hand? Show us."
As he spoke, the other cultivators of the Spirit Origin Holy Land also surrounded him with unfriendly expressions.
Ye Xiao completely ignored Shen Long and directly placed the token into his spatial ring.
"If you want, go find it yourself." Ye Xiao said lightly and suddenly moved. Shen Long's hand, which was pressed on Ye Xiao's shoulder, couldn't help but feel a numbing sensation, and immediately let go.
"Shen Long, what do you want to do?" Tian Yuqin suddenly said coldly. She was feeling more and more irritated as the time passed because of Shen Long.
