My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 108 Immortal Power
"The treasure belongs to those who are destined to obtain it!"

Jiang Xia raised the phoenix jade in her fair and tender hands, looking quite proud. Then she changed the subject, blinked her cunning eyes, and jokingly said, "Zhou Ping, you seem to be unlucky. You have to look for it carefully."

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched.

"Don't be complacent. Just wait. I will definitely find the treasure."

As he said this, he continued to search among the ruins.

The same is true for Director Wang, Director Peng and others.

Everyone knows that anything that can survive the decay of time is extremely precious and may be the greatest opportunity they will ever encounter in their lifetime.

So everyone opened their eyes wide, afraid of missing any place.

one day.

Two days.

as time flows.

Many practitioners who learned about the ancient ruins in Qingcheng rushed here, including Captain Wu and Captain Han. Although there are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival, everyone is very enthusiastic about this place.

Even Su Qier, Zhu Xiaoyue and others came over.

Zhou Ping was very surprised that the country did not stop it.

In this regard.

Director Wang explained, "The stronger the cultivators in the country, the stronger the country will be. Moreover, this is the first time that ancient relics have been excavated in our country. Perhaps there will be some hidden opportunities for different cultivators to try."

Zhou Ping suddenly realized.

Right.

Every cultivator has a different physique and spiritual roots, just like fingerprints and leaves, no two are exactly the same. If there is an incredible opportunity or inheritance in the ancient ruins, and you miss it, it would be a huge regret.

After knowing this.

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

After staying in the underground ruins for these days, he didn't even get a treasure, let alone any inheritance.

"This place has nothing to do with me."

He said so.

Jiang Xia consoled him, "Don't be discouraged. So far, we've found six complete artifacts in the ancient ruins, but none of them can be activated. Furthermore, the fact that we've been able to excavate one means there are still other relics left in the country."

Currently, the treasures in the ruins include the ancient phoenix jade, the green jade fan, the stone zither, the bracelet, the purple umbrella, and the Taoist sword. Apart from these, the others are incomplete treasures and have lost their inner charm. They are not like the ancient jade obtained by Jiang Xia, which can still manifest a flaming phoenix.

Zhu Xiaoyue said sourly, "Senior Jiang has a treasure. In the future, she will be able to slowly comprehend the Dao rhyme within it and gain powerful assistance. She might even become one of the strongest people in the world."

Zhao Zihua also said, "Yes, many practitioners are now speculating that these treasures are the magic weapons of powerful people in ancient times. As long as they can activate a little bit of their power, they can crush other practitioners."

Zhu Xiaoyue nodded. "Magic weapons are very important. Things like the Investiture of the Gods and the Qigong masters of the pre-Qin period—the things that are remembered by people are often magical weapons..."

Speaking of which.

She looked at Jiang Xia and whispered, "Senior Jiang, you'd better be careful. Everyone is looking for treasures right now, and there are many practitioners around, so no one dares to covet them. But once you leave here, the situation will be different."

Jiang Xia was trying to be modest, but when he heard the latter part of the sentence, his dashing and capable face became solemn.

Treasures are captivating.

Not to mention the treasures left over from ancient times.

Geological and archaeological experts have tested and found that the items in the ruins are at least tens of thousands of years old. Things that are so old and still well preserved must be eye-catching.

Some practitioners even suggested that all these treasures should be handed over to the state, because according to the law, all ancient artifacts belong to the state.

"If the country needs me, I can hand it over."

She said.

Zhu Xiaoyue and Zhao Zihua fell silent immediately.

Zhou Ping waved his hand, "Alright, stop being envious. What belongs to whomever it is belongs to."

He said this and left the ruins.

Come to the outer cave hall.

He quickly found Professor Huai and asked for clues about the divine text.

In fact, in the past few days, many people have asked Professor Huai about those divine texts. Treasures are precious, and divine texts are also precious. They may involve some supreme cultivation methods. After all, there are divine texts on the bones.

And until now, no one has dared to touch the corpse.

The country used tools to drag the corpse, but they were also corroded.

Nothing could get close to the bones.

Professor Huai is also a cultivator, but his spiritual talent is average. He has only reached the third level of Qi training in the Taoist temple so far.

"I've looked up ancient texts. Although there are records of divine texts, too much has been lost. I only saw the ancient texts on some ancient tripods, bronze furnaces, etc."

The bad professor shook his head. "The ancient ruins we excavated this time only contain very few items. It will take time to piece them together and study them. If there are other ruins and some ancient jade fragments from them, perhaps there will be clues."

Listen to this.

Zhou Ping had no choice but to leave.

He was not particularly keen on treasures and the like. After all, he had a virtual framework for national destiny. If he could delve into the cultivation method from the divine text, he could improve his national destiny.

"Could it be that the two methods of 'Fuxi Visualization Method' and 'Golden Body Indestructible Technique' are ancient cultivation methods?"

He didn't go into the ruins again. There were too many people there and the air was very oppressive.

Return to the ground.

Breathe the fresh air.

He began to think.

boom.

at this time.

The entire ground shook violently, and then the mountain next to where they lived exploded with a loud bang, and a corpse emitting red light rushed out.

Zhou Ping's eyes widened.

This corpse was obviously the one in the ruins.

Oh My God.

It can still move!

Simply incredible.

The corpse that had been dead for tens of thousands of years was still alive.

This is definitely a major event that shocked the world.

Shhhhhh.

Before Zhou Ping could come to his senses.

A group of practitioners wearing magic weapons and battle robes also rushed out from underground.

"Stop it!"

It was Director Wang who spoke.

All of a sudden, the magical weapons and armors around activated their own spiritual energy, and all kinds of spells swept over like an overwhelming force. There were also physical cultivators who were good at physical body and attacked directly at the corpse.

Chi Chi.

The hollow skull of the corpse slowly reflected a strange red light. With a wave of its dry claws, a large amount of blood light spread, and instantly corroded the nearby practitioner into a ball of blood. Then the claws absorbed the essence of the blood.

See this scene.

Director Wang and the others were terrified and did not dare to get any closer. They just mobilized their spiritual energy and cast spells to attack.

See this.

Zhou Ping instantly activated the dragon magic weapon battle suit on his body.

Until now.

He was not worried that the things on him would be coveted by others. After all, no matter how good the dragon magic weapon suit was, it could not compare to the treasures in the ruins.

As the dragon magic weapon armor covered his entire body.

He immediately felt a surge of power, as if he could shatter the rocks with just a punch. With just a little spiritual energy, his body was no longer affected by the gravity of the planet.

Whoosh. Flash to Director Wang's side.

As he joined the battle, he asked, "Director Wang, what's going on?"

Seeing the magical armor with dragon patterns and a powerful aura, Director Wang was surprised for a moment, but soon recovered. "I don't know, this corpse seemed to have been stimulated by something and suddenly moved. It first killed more than a dozen practitioners below, absorbed a lot of blood, and then rushed out of the ruined ancient temple."

"But it's clear that this skeleton is still adapting to something."

"Be careful, don't get close, that bloody light is scary."

Zhou Ping nodded.

He is not stupid. In the scene just now, anyone who was close to the range of blood light could not withstand it even with the magic weapon armor. Although the magic weapon armor on Director Wang and others was only of ordinary level, it was also obtained from the members of Taiyan Sect.

Boom boom boom.

Flames, ice blades, meteorites, vines, sword lights and other magic spells all flashed around the skeleton. However, no matter which magic spell, even the foundation-building magic spells cast by Director Wang, Director Peng and other foundation-building monks, could not do anything to the skeleton.

However, the corpse did not move further. Its empty eyes seemed to be concentrating on something terrible.

No one knew, but even if they knew, they wouldn't dare get close.

Dozens of breaths passed like this.

Jie Jie Jie...

A sinister laugh accompanied by a biting cold air spread around. The corpse's empty eyes suddenly had two flickering flames like will-o'-the-wisp, like ghost eyes, sweeping across Zhou Ping, Director Wang and others around.

"not good!"

"Retreat quickly!"

It's basically the same.

Zhou Ping, Director Wang and the others' hearts were pounding, and they felt a chill as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake. They knew that this was their instinct warning them, so they all fled away frantically.

But it was too late.

The corpse with cold ghost fire whooshed and appeared next to a practitioner who had crossed the third level of Qi training as if it had teleported. Its claw bones directly pierced his heart and instantly absorbed him, turning him into a dried corpse.

The movements are not only faster but also much smoother than before.

Depend on.

Director Wang quickly transmitted a message from within his magical armor, "Everyone, leave immediately!"

Puff puff!
Just two or three breaths.

The five or six practitioners who had chased up from underground earlier were all turned into mummies, without even the slightest strength to resist.

Zhou Ping was horrified.

too frightening.

He knew that even with the dragon armor, if he encountered it, he would be like other practitioners and would find it difficult to resist. The strength of that corpse was extremely terrifying.

"You are just an outsider, how dare you commit such a crime!"

Accompanied by a cold voice.

Suddenly, a red cloud rose.

Everyone looked back and saw a rolling glow underground, like a blazing flame. In the midst of this crimson flame, a stunningly beautiful woman stepped barefoot into the air to meet them. With every step she took, a fire lotus bloomed beneath her feet. Her long, waterfall-like hair was crystal clear, floating in the rising glow and flames.

The ghostly fire of the skeleton danced wildly.

His empty eyes stared at the woman who appeared before him.

Wow.

The moment the woman stopped.

The shorts on her body burned to ashes in an instant, and soon the sunset glow obscured her graceful, fair and smooth skin and figure. A fire lotus bloomed under her feet, as if she was reborn from the fire, and the shadow of a phoenix appeared behind her.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow converged into the rosy glow, condensing into a crimson phoenix armor. Suddenly, her figure became heroic, like a banished immortal.

Her eyes glowed with fluorescence as she locked onto the skeleton.

The ghostly fires of the corpses and skeletons flickered more frequently.

Seems to be afraid.

But its claws slapped towards the heroic woman.

hum.

The spiritual energy of the world within a radius of a hundred miles was stirred by the five fingers of the claw bone. Suddenly, a large amount of black energy condensed behind it, which turned out to be a huge black jade skull.

The woman snorted.

The jade-like white palm flipped, and the phoenix shadow appeared behind it again, and then pushed forward.

Suddenly, the cry of a phoenix resounded between heaven and earth.

The phoenix shadow and the black jade skull collided instantly.

boom!
Huge energy aftermath ripples were generated from the collision and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed. The rocks below collapsed in an instant, but the fire lotus under the woman's feet seemed to be trying its best to restrain the energy, so it only affected the mountain below and did not spread to the nearby buildings.

The same was true for Zhou Ping, Director Wang and others. They were only affected by a slight amount of the energy wave, but even so, their bodies were severely injured and fell to the ground one after another.

The corpse skeleton with ghost fire was obviously no match for the heroic woman. With just one blow, its ghost fire seemed to be shattered in half, and the corpse fell back into the ruins of the ancient temple.

The woman with long black hair like a waterfall, each strand of hair sparkling, disappeared in mid-air in a flash and chased the corpse into the ruined ancient temple.

Rumble.

For a moment, the earth's veins shook.

The terrifying energy fluctuations hit in waves.

However, it only lasted for a dozen or so breaths before there was no movement in the ruined ancient temple.

Zhou Pingwangju and others struggled to stand up, but no one dared to move. It was not until half an hour later that a cultivator entered the cave to check the situation.

"Director."

"That corpse must have been suppressed and sealed. There's a flame lotus mark within a three-meter radius. No one can get close."

Hear the report below.

Director Wang gave Zhou Ping a look, then rushed into the ruined ancient temple.

The ruins at this time became real ruins.

A large number of stone pillars were shattered.

There were huge pits and lotus imprints on the ground, and the air was filled with hot and cold energy fluctuations.

Look up.

Where the corpse was originally located, there was a flaming lotus mark that appeared and disappeared from time to time. The corpse in the center returned to its original state, and the ghost fire inside the skull had disappeared.

But next to the lotus mark.

There was a figure lying there.

"Jiang Xia!"

Zhou Ping quickly flashed over, picked up Jiang Xia, and hurriedly checked his physical condition. He felt relieved when he sensed a weak heartbeat.

Director Wang walked over and noticed the ancient phoenix jade around his neck. He said with a serious expression, "It seems that this ancient jade has manifested its magical power and has re-suppressed the corpse. Otherwise, none of us would be able to escape, and even this city would be reduced to a sea of ​​blood and corpses!"

Zhou Ping nodded with lingering fear.

It was a close call indeed.

Fortunately, this ancient jade still has some residual Taoist charm.

"how is she?"

"He's completely exhausted, with not a trace of spiritual energy left in his body, but he still has a pulse."

"Send her to the hospital first and protect her."

"it is good!"

Zhou Ping did not hesitate. He quickly hugged Jiang Xia and activated the Jiaolong battle suit and rushed to Qingcheng Hospital.

Director Wang looked at the ruins filled with debris and blood on the ground, sighed deeply, and then said coldly, "Seal this place off, and no one is allowed to approach from now on!"

"Yes, Director!"

This time, more than 30 practitioners died at once. Although it is not a big deal in today's country, it is still a big deal, especially since the corpses and ancient jade from ten thousand years ago have regained their power. This kind of news will inevitably shock the world and attract a lot of attention.
