Chapter 417 Ancient Ruins, Teleportation Array [Subscription Request]

However, after Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni left the shore of Muli Lake, they prepared to go back along the same route they had taken.

But just when they flew hundreds of miles away, they saw a large number of "Multi-Winged" mages heading towards Muli Lake in groups, and their figures were naturally discovered.

Then, four or five senior mages of the Multi-Winged Clan led twenty or thirty intermediate mages to chase after them.

The "Multi-Winged Tribe" are born with the ability to fly, and their mages are also very fast in flying speed, and they master many spells that can increase flying speed.

Therefore, although Zhou Chun and the other two had the advantage of distance, they were still unable to escape the pursuit of those mages.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is not a solution. Let's flee separately and reunite in Tianyuan Immortal City!"

After running for a while, Luo Qingni gritted her teeth and proposed to Zhou Chun the idea of ​​going their separate ways.

It’s not that the two of them are too big a target, it’s simply that she has other ways to shake off the pursuers.

But her method was only effective for herself, and she couldn't take Zhou Chun with her.

So instead of waiting until you are forced to leave, it is better to take the initiative to propose to escape separately, which will save face.

Of course, this also requires Zhou Chun to be sensible and know how to go down the stairs.

Zhou Chun is naturally a sensible person and would not refuse the favor.

He quickly responded, "Okay, then we'll see you in Tianyuan Fairy City!"

After saying that, he changed direction and flew towards Muli Lake.

He also knew that the "Multi-Winged Tribe" were good at flying but not good at swimming, so he planned to use the water environment to shake off the pursuers, and then find an opportunity to return to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

However, when they fled separately, Zhou Chun also looked at Luo Qingni, wanting to see how the other party had shaken off the pursuers.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he looked at it he fell silent.

After fleeing separately from him, Luo Qingni immediately fell to the ground, and then a green light flashed on her body, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When she appeared again, she was already more than ten miles away.

Then she repeated the same thing, and in just a few dozen breaths she completely disappeared from Zhou Chun's sight.

"Wood Release Technique? No wonder she is so confident!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, and his doubts were resolved.

If you master any of the Five Elements Escape Techniques, you will gain extremely strong life-saving abilities.

However, the real Five Elements Escape Technique is very difficult to practice. Even the relatively easier Wood Escape Technique and Water Escape Technique generally require at least the Purple Mansion Stage to practice.

However, if one really wants to successfully practice these two escape techniques in the Purple Mansion Stage, not only does one's own aptitude and understanding need to be extremely high, but the technique one practices must also be a top-level technique of the same attribute.

Just like Zhou Chun, in fact, his "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" also contains the method of practicing the art of gold escape.

However, among the five elements of escape techniques, metal escape techniques and fire escape techniques are the most difficult to practice. The speed of metal escape techniques can even be compared with that of wind escape techniques and lightning escape techniques.

If Zhou Chun's cultivation had not reached the late Purple Mansion stage, there was no way he could master this kind of magical power of escape.

Even if he had reached the late Purple Mansion stage, he probably wouldn't spend a lot of time practicing this kind of escape technique.

If he has the ability, why doesn’t he form the elixir first?

After forming the golden elixir, it will be much easier to practice the golden escape technique.

Since Luo Qingni has mastered the Wood Release Technique to the point where she can travel more than ten miles, it is impossible to catch her unless the great wizard takes action personally.

Zhou Chun suspected that even if the great wizard took action himself, he might not be able to catch her.

No one can underestimate the wealth of a master alchemist!

If Luo Qingni suddenly took out a few fourth-level talismans, Zhou Chun would not be surprised.

Otherwise, he knew that Luo Qingni still had the [Five Elements Spirit Fruit] in her hand, and that as a master of alchemy, she must be extremely wealthy, and that she knew a lot of his secrets, so why didn't he take advantage of the situation to kill him?

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t!
If you act rashly and fail to kill the opponent, you will make a huge enemy for yourself, and it will be even more difficult for you to survive in the Great Zhou Kingdom in the future.

It is better to make friends with others and win the friendship of a future Jindan-stage alchemy master for yourself and your family.

Now that he saw how well Luo Qingni had managed to escape, Zhou Chun no longer had any worries in his heart. He immediately used all of his strength to activate the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique to escape.

When it comes to long-distance travel, he is no less capable than anyone. After all, he has no concerns about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside to restore his magic power.

After chasing for hundreds of miles, Zhou Chun finally returned to Muli Lake.

When he saw the water surface glowing silvery white in the sunlight, he did not hesitate at all and dived into the water directly.

After entering the water, Zhou Chun directly released the Thunder Dragon Baibai and let Baibai lead him to the deeper part of the lake.

When those "Multi-Winged" mages chased to the surface of the lake, they looked at the rugged lake surface with ugly expressions and looked at each other in silence.

After they discussed for a while, several magicians released several diving monsters from their spirit beast bags and drove the monsters into the water to try to find Zhou Chun's whereabouts.

However, the remaining breath of the Thunder Dragon in the water frightened the monsters so much that they ran back to the surface as soon as they entered the water. No matter how their master ordered them, they dared not go down again.

This situation made the "Multi-Winged" mages both surprised and helpless.

Finally, they took a look in the direction of the colorful clouds, and only left a great wizard and a dozen intermediate wizards to continue patrolling the lake, while the rest flew towards the colorful clouds.

On the other hand, Zhou Chun soon discovered that the number of "Multi-Winged Clan" mages had decreased a lot.

But he had no intention of going up to kill someone and running away.

Ever since he heard about the "Vengeful Blood Eagle", he told himself that unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be best not to kill these "Multi-Winged" mages on the Dolan Grassland, so as not to attract powerful enemies at the level of archmages to hunt him down.

He would rather hide and waste time with those "multi-winged" mages than be targeted by the archmage.

"Now that the strange phenomenon has appeared, I'm afraid that countless powerful aliens have come to the vicinity of Muli Lake. Since I have lost the best opportunity to leave, why not hide in this lake and practice for a few years, and then return to the Great Zhou Kingdom after this storm is over!"

Under the lake, Zhou Chun's eyes flickered. After some hesitation, he came up with a new plan.

He had a purification stone jar in his hand, so he could meditate and practice even in the wild.

Not to mention that he had previously exchanged a lot of elixirs with Luo Qingni to improve his magical powers.

Now that he had a plan in mind, Zhou Chun asked Lei Jiao Baibai to move at the bottom of the lake to find a suitable place for him to practice.

Even if he could practice in the wild, in order to achieve good results, he would definitely have to find a place with spiritual veins where spiritual energy gathered.

Muli Lake has a vast area, and there must be no shortage of spiritual veins at the bottom of the lake.

Jiaolongs have a sensory bonus in water, and they are even born with a certain talent for finding spirits, so they can find treasures and spiritual veins in the water more easily.

Zhou Chun hid alone at the bottom of the lake and let Bai Bai play freely. After a few days, Bai Bai found a place with rich spiritual energy and came to pick him up.

"Is this the spiritual vein you are looking for, Baibai?"

Deep in the dark and deep lake, Zhou Chun stood on the dragon's back, looking at the dark area in front of him. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and see the situation clearly.

This is indeed the case.

Zhou Chun explored with his spiritual sense and found that there was a vast ruin at the bottom of the lake in front of him. The broken architectural styles and the broken shapes of the building materials in the ruins all indicated that they were the products of construction by human cultivators.

But why would such a ruined building appear in the depths of Muli Lake?
You have to know that this place is nearly three thousand feet deep underwater. If it weren't for the Thunder Dragon providing shelter for him, Zhou Chun would have found it difficult to stay here for a long time relying solely on his own water-repelling magic weapon.

At this time, Zhou Chun couldn't help but think of the secret island that Luo Qingni and Yan Qiyang had visited.

"Could it be that a long time ago, this Muli Lake was also the territory of our human cultivators?"

His speculation was not without basis.

Although the human race's territory is certainly more vast overall than it was a long time ago, it does not mean that all the areas where humans used to be active are included in the current human countries.

In some of today's alien lands, or in dangerous places like the Black Mist Swamp, you can sometimes find relics and caves left behind by human cultivators.

Just looking at the current appearance of this underwater ruin, it is obvious that even if there were any treasures, they have long been destroyed by the erosion of time.

Anyway, after Zhou Chun rode the Thunder Dragon around in there for a while, he didn't get any major gains except picking up some minerals containing spiritual power.

According to Bai Bai, this place was originally the territory of a third-level fish monster, but the fish monster had been frightened and driven away by it.

After checking around and finding no hidden dangers, Zhou Chun cleared out a clean area in the ruins and used it as a place to practice.

He had taken all kinds of situations into consideration when he went out this time, and he had a set of formation plates in his hand that were made of water-repellent beads and combined with the art of formation.

In order to refine this set of formation plates, he almost used up all the water-repellent beads in the hands of the scaly frog aliens.

Fortunately, this thing has no use to the scaly frogs themselves, and they are happy to exchange it for other useful things.

At this time, four array plates were arranged on the four sides of the training site, and the power of the entire array was mobilized. Finally, a waterless area of ​​three to four acres in size was created under the water.

Then Zhou Chun released several spirit pets in the spirit beast bag and let them absorb and exhale spiritual energy to practice on their own. He then took out a "Zeng Yuan Pill" and swallowed it, then sat in meditation and began to practice.

The spiritual energy in this ruined land is extremely rich, better than the cultivation cave in the Su family mountain gate in Jiangzhou. While Zhou Chun was hiding at the bottom of Muli Lake and practicing hard, battles broke out one after another in the place where the colorful clouds were.

First there was a great battle between the "Multi-Winged Tribe" mages and human monks, and then there was a great battle between mages from different tribes.

Later on, there was even a team of Jindan-stage cultivators who came urgently from the Great Zhou Kingdom and engaged in a fierce fight with the great magicians.

The reason for this is that a Jindan-stage cultivator named Yuan who escaped back to the Great Zhou Kingdom directly spread the information about the location of the colorful clouds in Tianyuan Immortal City.

According to him, the area below is the remains of an ancient cultivator's mountain gate, which not only contains many rare elixirs and fruits that are rare in the world of immortal cultivation today, but also powerful magic weapons and miraculous skills, and there may even be treasures that assist in forming a baby!
As soon as this news came out, it naturally caused an uproar in Tianyuan Fairy City.

The remains of an ancient monk's mountain gate that has been completely sealed for who knows how many years. This kind of great opportunity is rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

This is definitely an opportunity that even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage would salivate over.

Because their cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, most of the elixirs made from spiritual medicines were no longer effective for them.

The materials needed to make the elixirs that can help them improve their magical powers are extremely difficult to find, if not completely extinct in the outside world of immortal cultivation.

However, there is a great chance that it exists in those ancient monks' ruins that have been sealed for a long time.

Because these ruins have been sealed for too long and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth inside is extremely rich, some of the elixirs within will undergo mutations, greatly increasing both their age and potency.

Even the rumored "shape-transforming elixir" may exist.

Therefore, even though the ancient cultivator's ruins were on the Dolan grassland, the Yuanying stage cultivators of the Great Zhou Kingdom, upon learning the news, rushed up without hesitation with many Jindan stage cultivators, not wanting such a precious land to be monopolized by aliens.

These people were fighting in the sky and on the ground. Zhou Chun could often feel the vibration while hiding in the depths of Muli Lake, which made him more determined to practice in seclusion.

Fortunately, after a series of battles, the Yuanying stage cultivators of the human race seemed to have reached some agreement with the holy mages of the "Multi-Winged Clan". The fifth-level beings of both sides would not enter the ruins, and only the fourth- and third-level beings were allowed to enter to crack the ruins and fight for the treasures.

Therefore, Zhou Chun didn't feel the shaking of the earth much afterwards.

The sun rose and the moon set, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Chun had been practicing in seclusion at the bottom of Muli Lake for three years.

During the three years, he took one "Zeng Yuan Pill" every year. The effect of each "Zeng Yuan Pill" after refining was roughly equivalent to his own two years of practice in Tuyunling.

Therefore, during these three years of hard training, he actually gained the equivalent of nine years of training.

This also greatly increased his magical power, bringing him closer to the middle stage of Purple Mansion.

After three years of seclusion, Zhou Chun felt that the dispute on the shore should be over, so he thought about returning to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

After all, although he could practice in the wild, the dark underwater environment was obviously not a place for long-term practice.

Even if he could bear it, the Golden Winged Tiger and Wood Demon couldn't.

After this idea came to his mind, Zhou Chun no longer hesitated and immediately released the demon insect puppet to investigate.

He continued to explore for several days, and the results were all normal, and he did not find any trace of the "Multi-Winged" magicians.

This made Zhou Chun completely relieved and he prepared to leave.

But just as Zhou Chun was about to leave, a strange light suddenly emerged from the deep and dark bottom of the lake, and a powerful spiritual power fluctuation appeared in an instant.

Such a strange sign made Zhou Chun stunned, and he couldn't help but look towards the place where the strange light emerged.

I saw several silver-white light beams rising from somewhere in the ruins at the bottom of the lake, and then the figure of a human cultivator appeared in the middle of the light beams.

"This is... could it be the legendary teleportation array?"

Zhou Chun looked at the human cultivator who suddenly appeared with a look of shock on his face and couldn't help but blurt out.

He had only heard of things like teleportation arrays.

In today's world of immortal cultivation, this kind of thing is already very rare, because in order to activate the teleportation array, spirit crystals are needed as energy to drive it.

Nowadays, spiritual crystals are strategic resources in the world of immortal cultivation, and not everyone even at the Jindan stage has them.

Who would be willing to use such a precious consumable treasure to drive the teleportation array?

Zhou Chun had only seen in some classics that in ancient times, some powerful forces would build teleportation arrays at mountain gates or certain important places to quickly transmit important information or for evacuation at critical moments.

After all, the teleportation array involves the mysterious way of space. Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to destroy and interfere with it through the mountain protection array. It is the best means of safe evacuation in critical moments.

But why is there a teleportation array in the ruins at the bottom of the lake? And this teleportation array can actually be used!
not good!

Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to realize something, and hurriedly mobilized all his magic power to condense the strongest "Sky-Splitting Blade" to attack the teleportation array. At the same time, Lei Jiao Baibai also blasted out the "Tiangang Divine Thunder" directly under his command.

At this time, the cultivator who was teleported here also came back to his senses from his brief trance and quickly discovered the presence of Zhou Chun and Lei Jiao Baibai.

However, his reaction was obviously slower than Zhou Chun's. He only had time to yell "Stop" and activate protective measures to protect himself.

Boom!

Accompanied by a violent explosion of thunder and lightning, the dark bottom of the lake was instantly illuminated by the lightning as if it were daytime.

The teleportation array that had been set up on the ground who knows how many years ago was completely blown to pieces in the explosion.

However, the cultivator who was teleported over was extremely powerful. After withstanding Zhou Chun's most powerful "Sky-Splitting Blade" and Lei Jiao Baibai's "Tiangang Divine Thunder", he did not die on the spot, but survived.

Although he survived by chance, he was seriously injured.

Before he could use other means after being seriously injured, Lei Jiao Baibai appeared beside him and lifted him up with one claw.

At this moment, Bai Bai could easily crush him to death with just a move of his dragon claws.

He certainly understood that.

So he didn't dare to move at all, but kept saying: "Fellow Daoist, spare my life. I didn't know that the place where the teleportation array leads to is where you practice in seclusion. I didn't mean to disturb you. Please show mercy and spare my life. I am willing to offer a heavy gift to make amends!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun said calmly: "Even if I kill you, everything on you will still belong to me!"

Before he could finish his words, the storage bag on the man's body was picked off by Bai Bai's claw and flew into his hands.

This scene made the man's face change slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He just whispered: "It is of course easy for you to kill me, but I am paving the way for the elders of our sect, and I have the mark planted by the Yuanying stage real person on my body. If I die here, it won't take a moment for a Yuanying stage real person from our sect to come here!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun's expression changed.

That's exactly what he was worried about.

He immediately said lightly: "In this case, I will spare your life for now."

As soon as these words came out, the man was obviously relieved.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, his vision went dark and he was suddenly struck on the head by a bolt of lightning, and he fainted instantly.

"Humph, do you really think I'm a fool? If you really have the mark planted by a Yuanying stage real person, wouldn't you be found soon if I keep you here?"

Looking at the unconscious man with a gloomy face, Zhou Chun gave some instructions to Lei Jiaobai, and then Baibai took his men away.

He quickly left the place with the man's belongings.

Not long after, Zhou Chun threw the man's storage bag and everything on his body to a place at the bottom of the lake, and then quickly moved in another direction.

A few hours later, Zhou Chunren had reached the shore and hid in a forest along the shore of Muli Lake.

Shortly after Zhou Chun came ashore, a golden light of the Jindan stage level flew over Muli Lake, quickly determined a certain direction and dived underwater.

Later, in a cave thousands of feet deep underwater, the owner of the golden escape light, a man with curly hair and wearing a golden robe, discovered a second-level fish monster.

The man with a curly bun killed the fish monster casually and found undigested human remains in the fish monster's body.

"How could a mere second-level fish monster kill Junior Brother Yuan Wu? It seems that the murderer captured Junior Brother Yuan Wu and deliberately threw him to the fish monster to be devoured after he lost the power to resist!"

"So, after Junior Brother Yuanwu was teleported to this area, he encountered the great wizard of the Multi-Winged Clan?"

"No, no, no, if it was the Great Master of the Multi-Winged Clan, there would be no need to do this... Could it be a Jindan-stage cultivator?"

The man with the curly bun frowned, feeling the difficulty of the situation.

The murderer's method was too clean. Apart from being able to find the place where his nephew died, he didn't even know where his nephew was captured in a fight.

Not to mention finding the murderer himself.

"There is a trace of lightning power remaining in the remains of Junior Brother Yuan Wu. So the murderer is likely to be a cultivator of the Thunder Movement Technique, or he has extraordinary lightning skills. Perhaps we can start our search based on this clue!"

When the man with the curly bun thought of this, he immediately collected the wreckage, searched the nearby underwater, and then left the Muli Lake area.

In the following half month, many beams of light descended into Muli Lake, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator came in person.

Eventually, the ruins where Zhou Chun had stayed were also found by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

But at this time, the aura he left behind had long dissipated. With the ability of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he could only sense a faint breath of a dragon, and judged that a dragon had appeared in this place.

Then, because they couldn't find anything useful in the ruins, those who came here to search quickly dispersed.

It was not until a year later that Zhou Chun, who had been hiding in the forest and dared not show his head, quietly asked Lei Jiao Baibai to go to the bottom of the lake to retrieve his abandoned storage bag.
