True Martial World - Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172

News of Yi Yun crippling Si Yusheng and equaling Zuoqiu Bo quickly spread overnight .

The Myriad Immortal Pavilion was enraged by the news and posted wanted notices for Yi Yun with stunning rewards . Many warriors could not help but be tempted when they saw the price for Yi Yun's head .

However, even if they were tempted, they valued their lives more…

Yi Yun's strength had been clearly demonstrated in front of everyone . Through the description from warriors present at the battle, it was determined that only warriors at cultivation levels at or above Supremacies had the right to battle Yi Yun .

While the outside world buzzed with activity, Yi Yun led peaceful days in the mountain valley lakeside .

"Young Master, have some tea . " Dong Xiaowan served a cup of refreshing tea to Yi Yun, who was reading and meditating in a pavilion .

The tea’s refreshing aroma lingered, and it had a green jade hue . After drinking a mouthful of tea, he praised, "Great tea . The spirit tea from this mountain valley is really not bad . "

"Thank you, Young Master . " Dong Xiaowan smiled slightly, but inside she was like a bed of blooming flowers . It made the surrounding scenery lose its color .

Yi Yun placed the teacup down and said, "I'll be going to the ancient ruin today to take a look . "

Over the past few days, Dong Xiaowan had described to Yi Yun the internals of the ancient ruin in great detail . And after a few days of recuperation, Yi Yun was back at peak condition .

The ancient ruin was fraught with danger at every turn . Everything had to be done carefully . In his present state, he was the best equipped to head for the ruin .

"Young Master, do you really not need me to go with you?" Dong Xiaowan asked worriedly .

Beside her, Ru'er bit her lip and did not say a word . Her strength was mediocre, so she would be useless in the ruin . She was better off staying behind to take care of Ling Xie'er .

"There's no need . You have yet to fully recover . You might actually relapse if you go . " Yi Yun said as he stood up . "I'll leave Xie'er in your hands . I will come back as soon as possible . "

The moment his voice faded, Yi Yun's body transformed into a stream of light . In a blink of an eye, he vanished from the array barrier around the mountain valley .

He had strengthened the array over the past few days . Only with that could he be at ease leaving Ling Xie'er and the two girls behind .

The ancient ruin was more than fifty thousand kilometers from the mountain valley, but ever since Yi Yun gained comprehension of profound spatial dimension laws, his speed had increased tremendously .

A typical Dao Palace realm warrior would spend two days traversing the distance, but Yi Yun could do it in half a day .

…

"Sigh, guarding this area is truly scary . "

In a black mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers but was void of any vegetation, a few warriors guarded the area around a teleportation array .

These warriors were dressed in Jadewave Sect uniforms . After the Jadewave Sect ordered the place to be sealed, they were the only ones left to guard the teleportation array and prevent others from entering .

However, the place effused a cadaveric air and carried terrifying curses within, so these warriors stood guard with trepidatious hearts .

"There probably isn't anyone stupid enough to trespass this area . There are evil entities inside…" Another warrior responded .

However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sudden change in the surrounding Yuan Qi . It was as if an icy gale was blowing past them, leaving him chattering from the cold .

"Oh? Did you feel that?"

"I… I felt it…"

The pale-faced warriors exchanged looks .

"Let's not talk about this . "

"Cut it out . Cut it out…"

Yi Yun wasn't aware that the Yuan Qi fluctuations he stirred when he passed the warriors had generated odd thoughts in them . He landed somewhere along the mountainside .

The Jadewave Sect's World Stone mine was located in the mountain range, but the valley in it was as broad as an empty plain . The mountain peaks on both sides of the valley resembled tall black towers that seemed to envelop the area .

The mine had already been sealed off by the Jadewave Sect, but with Dong Xiaowan's instructions, Yi Yun knew how to gain entry .

He conjured a few hand seals and immediately, the mine that had been calm stirred and revealed an entrance . Yi Yun looked at the entrance before entering it without any hesitation .

After Yi Yun entered, the entrance quaked before vanishing .

And all of this was not detected by the warriors on guard .

After searching around the mine for a while, Yi Yun finally found the spot where the ancient ruin was according to Dong Xiaowan's descriptions . Upon entering the ancient ruin, Yi Yun immediately felt chaotic Yuan Qi as well as an intense chill .

The temperature was so low that saying water droplets would immediately freeze was not enough . However, there was no ice on the ground . There was only gray gravel . There was also not a single hint of vegetation as far as the eyes could see .

It was bleakly cold, silent, and dark . It was like an abandoned world, isolated from the sunlight . There was no life in this place, only ice-cold silence .

Yi Yun kept a close eye on his surroundings . At the same time, he circulated his Yuan Qi to withstand the cold . When Yi Yun proceeded a distance forward, he saw a scene that awed him .

In front of him was a gigantic city built on a plain .

Everything was extremely massive, there were towering buildings and wide paths .

Yi Yun stood in front of an abandoned house and felt that he was only a minute fraction of the height of the main door . This ordinary house door looked like a towering city door .

In this city, Yi Yun felt like he had shrunk to the size of an ant .

Compared to such a city, the black mountain peaks on the side really resembled city walls . Yi Yun even had a feeling that they weren’t actually part of the mountain range, but of weathered city walls .

Weathered city walls that turned into a mountain range… Such a magnificent city was truly unheard of . If that was the case, the mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers would be the circumference of the ancient ruin .

Human history repeats itself, but the world changes all the time . Countless cities had been destroyed or abandoned through the passage of endless time . It was common to chance across such ancient ruins, but these extremely massive buildings did not seem like they were built for humans .

Who could they be for?

Yi Yun recalled the records he had seen in canon . In ancient legends, there were races with gargantuan bodies . Could the city have been constructed by them?

Ignoring everything else, Yi Yun had encountered a bronze giant before . It could flatten mountains with a footstep . Although the city in front of him was humongous, it would only be a toy in front of the bronze giant that towered into the heavens .

The puzzled Yi Yun continued walking through the city .

There was no indication how long the city had been left desolate . The entire city was empty as the sound of Yi Yun's footsteps echoed . It felt like he had transmigrated through space and time .

He had the Purple Crystal's energy vision activated constantly as he observed everything around him . After walking for nearly an hour, Yi Yun's heart suddenly shook, and he turned extremely vigilant!

He saw something that made him shudder . In the energy vision, everything had turned into monotonous lines . However, hidden beneath these lines, Yi Yun saw rows of bright dots . But on closer inspection, Yi Yun realized that these bright dots were eyes .

Every pair of eyes belonged to a distorted human face . The eyes were densely packed and were all lurking beneath the ground!
