Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 209 Ancient Cultivator Ruins Reappear!
The distribution of the You Shen Valley Immortal Realm is similar to that of other Immortal Realms.

It is also divided into shantytowns, residential areas, and mountain gates.

The most prosperous city in Yushin Valley is located in the mansion district.

The city was built primarily for the inner disciples of Youshen Valley to enjoy themselves.

It is said that the founder of Youshen Valley was once a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.
Therefore, You Shen Valley does not have the same concept of detachment from worldly desires as other cultivation sects.

The most prosperous city in Youshen Valley is called Laiqu City.

Ronan had visited several times before.

He remembered that when he came here before, monks were shoulder to shoulder.

However, when I visited again, it was much quieter.

Ronan was puzzled, so he went down to inquire and learned that Youshen Valley had also been occupied by the Zhenhuan Sect.

Therefore, this place is also the Immortal Realm of the True Sect.

'I didn't expect Chun Yuanzi to expand so quickly!'

Ronan was thinking when he arrived at a restaurant.

I ordered a drink, and then a few dishes.

The wine is made from glutinous rice and has a fragrant aroma, but it's not cheap.

As for meat and vegetables, they are simply livestock that have eaten spirit rice and spirit plants.

After all, resources are scarce in the cultivation world, and demonic beasts are rare.

Ordinary cultivators cannot afford to eat the flesh of demonic beasts.

However, a cultivator of Ronan's level could still eat it if he wanted to.

However, this restaurant does not have it.

After the food and drinks were served, Ronan began to drink and eat.

With Ronan's current cultivation level, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to supply his own energy is undoubtedly faster than absorbing energy from food.

However, food, when cooked carefully, can satisfy his appetite.

Ronan ate while listening to the conversations around him.

His hearing was excellent; without even concentrating, he could hear all the conversations in the restaurant.

After listening for a while, I learned that an ancient cultivator's ruins were about to appear in the world, located in Qiandao Lake.

Qiandao Lake is a place for cultivating immortality, far removed from their celestial realm.

It was a very large lake with islands of all sizes on it.

These thousands of islands are all occupied by a cultivation sect called "Lake Mountain Sect".

This ancient monk's ruins are located in Qiandao Lake.

It is said that this ruin constantly emits wisps of celestial energy, and a vortex of clouds gathers above the ruin.

When the Lake Mountain Sect first noticed the strange phenomena at the ruins, they tried to cover them up with an array.

However, the fluctuations emanating from the ruins were too strong, shattering the formation they had set up.

Finally, news that the ruins were about to be revealed spread throughout the cultivation world.

Once the news of the ruins spreads, many cultivators from the Lake Mountain Sect will surely come.

They also wanted to rush in first and seize the resources and treasures inside.

However, all the ancient cultivators' ruins that have not yet appeared in the world are the secret residences of the ancient cultivators, covered by many formations.

The reason it went unnoticed before was because the power of the formation was still intact, and cultivators couldn't detect it.

As it gradually comes into view, the power of the formation is gradually fading with the passage of time.

In addition to the formations that conceal the cave dwelling, a cultivator's secret abode must also contain defensive killing formations.

The power of the array that concealed the cave has disappeared, and the power of this killing array has probably also almost disappeared.

Therefore, the safest approach when a formation appears is to wait until the ruins are fully revealed before exploring them.

It is said that the Lake Mountain Sect had debated this issue many times regarding whether or not they had broken in.

Some believe that if they force their way in, people will die, the sect's strength will be weakened, and when the ruins are fully revealed, they will not be able to compete with other cultivation sects.

Some felt that their Lake Mountain Sect was not the strongest sect to begin with, and even if they maintained their strength, they wouldn't gain much advantage if other cultivation sects came here.

Ultimately, the conservative faction prevailed, and the debate ended.

But the radicals were unwilling to give up, and about a dozen of them secretly broke in.

Once inside, there was no movement.

However, as the ruins gradually came into view, the surrounding mist dissipated.

Those from the Lake Mountain Sect could see the intruder's severed hands and feet.

It seems that those intruders who entered the killing formation are all in grave danger.

"I wonder which cultivator left behind those ruins?"

Ronan continued listening to the two monks on the second floor, who were drinking and leaning against the railing, discussing the matter.

"However, the fact that this relic has only now appeared after so many years of spiritual energy scarcity in the cultivation world shows that the formation of this relic is quite enduring."

"The owner of the ruins must have had a very high level of cultivation."

When they said that, their voices became muffled.

However, the two used a telepathic spell.

However, with Ronan's mental strength, he still heard every word the two said.

One of the two cultivators continued, "Why don't we go too? We can just watch from a distance and maybe even snag a bargain."

"Moreover, if any cultivator tries to steal the treasure and leave, the two of us who can defeat him will take it from him!"

The two cultivators talked for a while longer, then made up their minds, paid the bill, left the restaurant, and flew towards Thousand Island Lake.

After hearing this, Ronan finished the whole steamed chicken on the table, drank the wine in his glass, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.

……

Heading east from the immortal realms of Huanzhen Sect, Changsheng Sect, Youshen Valley, and so on, passing through six mortal kingdoms, lies Thousand Island Lake.

The vast Qiandao Lake is also a place where ordinary people live.

Ordinary people do not know where the edge of Qiandao Lake is. Some people call it a "freshwater sea", while others call it a "vast lake".

A boat trip of several hours from the shores of Qiandao Lake will lead you into the mist.

Some mortals drove into the fog and, unable to find their way home for many days, starved to death.

With so many mortals disappearing, other mortals dared not come over.

As for what's in the fog, opinions among ordinary people vary widely.

Some call this fog "the fog spread by immortals," while others call it "the fog that devours people."

Generally speaking, immortals fly high in the sky, and are rarely seen by mortals.

Therefore, mortals are unaware that there are immortals in the mist.

Dressed in a blue robe, Ronan used the Wood Immortal Escape Technique to break through the mist and head towards the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was surging.

Yes, he had already sensed the location of the ruins.

When ancient ruins appear in the world, they stir up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which in turn produces various strange phenomena.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, the more powerful the ruins, the less likely they are to be hidden.

As for those quiet cultivator ruins, they probably don't contain any valuable items.

The further Ronan flew toward the ruins, the more cultivators he encountered.

Most of these cultivators were Qi Refining cultivators.

After all, Qi Refining cultivators make up the vast majority of the cultivation world, and their presence can be found wherever they go.

Of course, they were also the ones who died the most.

However, due to the long lifespan of cultivators and their reproductive ability resulting from their excellent physical qualities.

Qi Refining cultivators are like leeks; even though they die one after another in sect wars and explorations of ruins, they still keep sprouting up.

Given the current spiritual energy and resources in the cultivation world, it is difficult to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but becoming a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator is still possible with effort.

One by one, Qi Refining cultivators rode magical artifacts and flew through the air.

Compared to his immortal escape technique, this flight speed was much slower.

A moment later, Ronan saw the ruins.

In the distance ahead, there is a giant cloud tornado that stretches straight to the sky.

Within the tornado, there was a faint blue glow.

Ronan saw that at the bottom of the tornado, there was no island, but a lake.

At this moment, the lake surface was also rotating, slightly revealing what was underneath.

Ronan could vaguely discern that the structure of this ruin was a crystal palace.

Ronan spread his spiritual power and discovered several powerful auras of spiritual energy located on various islands. Chun Yuanzi, the Nascent Soul ancestor of the True Soul Sect, was on one of these islands.

It seems that because of the many battles and the abundant resources obtained, coupled with his ongoing cultivation of the Myriad Trees Longevity Scripture, the Nascent Soul Ancestor Chun Yuanzi's cultivation has made some progress.

Ronan then concealed all his aura within his spiritual realm.

He then secretly cast a "concealment spell," and under the effect of this dark elf magic, the surrounding dark elemental energy particles gathered, covering him with a light garment inside his green robe, thus providing him with another layer of concealment.

He landed on an island with no Core Formation or Nascent Soul cultivators.

We found a quiet cave and waited for the ruins to open.

……

Qiandao Lake has both day and night.

As night falls, all is quiet.

Ronan could sense that there were about a dozen other cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining on his mountain.

Only cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining have the ability to find caves to cultivate.

Otherwise, they would have to sleep outdoors.

Alternatively, one could spend spirit stones to find a cultivator on the island and stay there for a while.

As night fell, Ronan, who was taking out rare treasures from his storage bag and merging them into his spiritual realm, sensed cultivators approaching their mountain.

Each action was swift and aggressive.

……

The cultivators who went up the mountain were all from Qiandao Lake.

The scarcity of cultivation resources led them to choose to become Tribulation Cultivators.

The ruins are about to open, and cultivators are coming from all directions.

This could be a crisis for them.

After all, once the ruins are opened and the cultivators vie for treasures, the aftershocks of the battle could very well involve them.

However, they could also use their familiarity with Qiandao Lake to plunder weak cultivators who came there.

……

puff!
puff!
……

The cultivators from Qiandao Lake have already hidden themselves here.

Some of the slower-reacting monks were attacked.

The sound of flying swords piercing flesh and blood spurting rang repeatedly in Ronan's ears.

"A cultivator is undergoing a tribulation!"

After a moment, the entire mountain finally reacted.

Those cultivators who were still practicing stopped their cultivation, summoned their magical artifacts, and focused their attention on fighting the enemy.

However, the leader of the Jiexiu, a man with a buzz cut who wielded a deep blue flying sword, was virtually invincible.

With his cultivation at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, his presence alone was enough to overwhelm the others.

In addition, his swordsmanship is superb and domineering.

A flash of blue sword light, and at least two cultivators perished.

He fought his way through each cave.

His face was stained with blood, his eyes were filled with fanaticism and excitement, and his mouth was stretched up as if he was laughing silently.

He quickly reached the cave where Ronan was.

Ronan used cleansing charms and lighting magic to make his cave extremely bright and clean.

'Damn, he's a man of principle!'

After the flat-headed cultivator stormed in and saw the surroundings, he spat, cursed, and charged at Ronan.

His blood-stained robes fluttered as he wielded his flying sword, slashing straight at Ronan.

The blue sword light shot down from above, diagonally towards Ronan.

But halfway through, the sword's edge suddenly stopped.

The flat-headed cultivator looked over in astonishment, only to see that the cultivator in front of him had two fingers holding his flying sword between them.

Upon seeing this, the flat-headed cultivator couldn't help but break out in a dense sweat.

Originally, his body charged forward with the sword, his momentum fierce.

But at this moment, his body seemed to have lost its momentum.

With his knees bent in the air, his body flew a distance before crashing to the ground.

After kneeling on the ground, he paddled a distance until he reached Ronan.

His fierce expression was now replaced by a fawning smile.

"Senior, I was wrong, I'll be leaving now."

The flat-headed monk said nervously.

"How are you, fellow Daoist? Have you discovered anything?"

Just then, a sound came from outside.

Previously, the flat-headed cultivator was extremely fast at killing, and had never stayed in the cave for such a long time.

At this moment, the other cultivators, seeing that he had been waiting for too long, asked him from outside.

The flat-headed cultivator was startled, fearing that other cultivators might enter and anger this senior, causing everyone to suffer. He immediately shouted:

"It's alright, I'll just stay here and regulate my breathing."

However, the more he said that, the more the other cultivators felt that he had found something valuable in the cave.

So the other cultivators came over here.

A rustling sound sounded.

Upon hearing this, the flat-headed cultivator immediately said to Ronan:

"Senior, I will stop these cultivators. As long as I am here, I guarantee that no one will disturb you!"

"Don't reveal my information."

Ronan listened and then said.

Killing someone is just a matter of a moment for him.

Keeping one person alive might come in handy.

Ronan decided to keep the man for the time being and see if he would be of use in the future.

"What's your name?" Ronan asked.

The flat-headed cultivator said, "Senior, my name is Ji Ershan."

After saying that, he looked at the flying sword that Ronan was holding.

Ronan easily released the flying sword by spreading two fingers apart.

Ji Ershan then summoned his flying sword and flew away.

When they arrived at the cave entrance, they blocked the cultivators who wanted to enter.

"What's inside?"

The monks peered into the cave.

They could see light, faintly seeping from the depths of the cave.

They became even more suspicious that there was treasure inside the cave.

"None of you are allowed to go in!"

Ji Ershan held his sword horizontally in front of him and said.

As more and more cultivators gathered, Ji Ershan couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament.

If he said there were senior cultivators inside, the visitors would leave, but he couldn't say that.

After a large number of cultivators gathered, two of them summoned a flying sword and a ring and attacked Ji Ershan.

Ji Ershan gritted his teeth, poured his magic power into his flying sword, and used a method that consumes potential. With a single thrust, he broke through the magical artifacts of the two cultivators and forcibly killed them.

Seeing how fierce Ji Ershan was, the other cultivators dared not move forward.

Ronan, inside the cave, used only a portion of his consciousness to observe what was happening outside.

Another part of their spirit is focused on what is happening on other islands.

At this point, it wasn't just his island that was taking action.

Some cultivation sects, or independent cultivators, also began to fight each other.

In order to plunder resources, and also to have one less competitor after the ruins open.
