Chapter 80 Trip to the Island of Extinction
"This is the Island of Absolute Spirits? As expected, it doesn't have much spiritual energy."
A group of people sat on the flying boat, watching the spirit boat slowly descend. As the huge spirit boat landed, it emitted a deep hum.
Lan Yue stood on tiptoe to look at the scenery outside and suddenly realized.
Rows of islands came into view, the sky was gray and misty from time to time.
Further out on the island, the vast sea and sky blend into one color, and birds circle and dance.
"Be extremely careful during this training. Do not be greedy for quick results or act rashly. Never underestimate anything that exists in the ruins!" Elder Duanmu instructed from the side.
A group of little radish-like children nodded in unison, each one more cheerful than the last. Their bright, dark eyes were eager to see what the legendary ruins looked like.
Further away, the older students, armed with weapons, were even more cautious.
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Duanmu."
Elder Duanmu nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the huge spirit boat disappeared into thin air.
A group of people landed on the dark, mysterious land of Jueling Island. They looked at this unfamiliar land with deep emotion.
"This ruin is only open to those below the Golden Core stage. We are currently stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage. Perhaps we can gain an opportunity here, obtain a legacy, and soar to great heights."
"I've been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection stage for a long time. Maybe I'll be able to successfully form my Core once I leave the Jue Ling Island Ruins!"
"Unexplored ruins are usually fraught with danger, and we don't know how many of us will make it back this time."
"The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against heaven and earth. If one shrinks back because of the dangers ahead, wouldn't one lose one's true nature?"
"Senior brother is right. Cultivation is inherently difficult, and we are all people who defy the heavens!"
Listening to the discussion among the senior students, the group of younger students behind them were filled with longing.
"What kinds of inheritances are usually found in ancient ruins? If we obtain this inheritance, will we really be able to soar to great heights?"
Luan Ning asked curiously from the side.
She was temporarily placed here. The Sixth Elder saw that she was always asking questions, even about ants moving house, so he simply and neatly placed her here so that he wouldn't have to see her and get annoyed.
The senior students who were discussing earlier burst into laughter when they saw her looking like a curious child.
"An immortal stroked my head and bestowed upon me immortality."
"Why are those ruins so popular, especially the many undiscovered ruins that attract the attention of major sects? This is because they were left behind by powerful beings with profound cultivation."
"Ten thousand years ago, when the Central Sacred Domain still existed, the four domains were connected. That was the true golden age of cultivation, and some powerful beings could even impart their cultivation to others."
"What if the ruins we encounter are from ten thousand years ago?"
As soon as the senior student finished speaking, everyone looked over in shock.
This was the first time they had heard such a statement. No wonder the sect had been so cautious ever since they found the location of the ruins, unwilling to release any information.
"Of course, this is also because you are all from the same clan. Otherwise, I wouldn't be telling you these things. After all, once you enter the ruins, you are not only fellow disciples but also competitors!"
The senior brother lowered his voice again.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"No wonder, so that's how it is." Lan Yue murmured softly.
In the original story, the main characters enter various ruins to train and level up along the way.
However, before she transmigrated, she read books in a superficial way, and sometimes she would even skip over boring parts, so it's normal that she didn't know many things.
If she had known she was going to transmigrate into this world, becoming a minor cannon fodder character with the same name, she would definitely have memorized the entire story!
Lan Yue felt a deep sense of regret.
"I must do my best at this relic site!" Wu Tianyu rubbed his palms together.
"Tianyu, don't be impulsive." Wu Tianya shook her head at him.
He gritted his teeth at the thought of those who had been hunting him and his sister down.
"It's alright, your senior brother will protect you!" Li Bai patted his chest reassuringly.
He had a small pink snake hanging on his body and a small gray eagle perched on his shoulder.
Originally, the two little demons were supposed to land on Yunxi, but the little yellow furball was particularly disgusted with them and refused to let these people touch their savior. So the two little demons could only pitifully cling to Li Bai.
Of course, Li Bai didn't feel that way. On the contrary, he was somewhat flattered, thinking that the two spirit beasts liked him and didn't want to leave.
"Lan Yue, when the ruins open, we must hurry," Yun Xi whispered to Lan Yue.
"Elder Duanmu, the Second Elder is already waiting over there, ready to discuss the ruins with you," a gentle female voice said.
Everyone looked up and saw a fairy dressed in a light pink flowing dress slowly walking over. Her hair was styled in a double-knife bun, with the tassels on both sides swaying gently as she walked, and her eyes were full of smiles.
"Let's go." Elder Duanmu glanced at her, his expression completely unmoved.
On the contrary, the senior brothers and sisters behind almost couldn't help but break their composure.
"So Yun Li really did come to Jue Ling Island. I didn't expect her to do such a thing before. You really can't judge a book by its cover."
"Fairy Yunli has a very good reputation. I was originally thinking of learning from her. If I hadn't heard Xiao Lanyue's thoughts, I probably wouldn't have known that she was actually suppressing newly entered outer disciples in private. It's really too much!"
These people secretly communicated with each other, exchanging knowing glances.
Only Yun Li, who was at the front, frowned. She felt that she had only been on Jue Ling Island for a few months, so how could she have changed so much? Why did some of her junior brothers and sisters look so strange?
However, with Elder Duanmu right in front of her, she couldn't say anything and could only lead everyone forward without making a sound.
As the silver bells rang, the mist in front slowly dissipated, revealing a row of ancient houses before the crowd.
These gray and white houses form a semicircle, with a flat, dark ground in the very center, where several familiar figures sit cross-legged.
"Duanmu, you've finally arrived." The Second Elder, who was in the lead, stood up, while the others remained seated with their eyes closed.
Elder Duanmu nodded and looked behind the group of elders. He saw a group of people dressed in white, of varying ages, each with an air of arrogance on their face.
"The people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land have arrived so quickly?"
"They arrived at noon and have been waiting here for an hour. They're all a bunch of difficult little devils."
The Fifth Elder sensed something and snapped out of his meditation. He opened his eyes and saw Lan Yue's innocent expression, and his lips twitched.
"These disciples must be the most outstanding students of the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Elder Wan from the Northern Ridge Holy Land. I've come to introduce these little ones to the world."
A man in a blue robe walked over. He was slightly overweight and carried a curved sword on his back. He had a smiling face.
"Since you've come all the way to your sect and entered your sect's ruins, these little trinkets are a small token of our Northern Ridge Holy Land's appreciation."
He waved his hand gently, and a row of fluorescent fruits floated in the air and landed in front of a group of disciples from the Southern Spirit Sect.
Everyone looked up in surprise, clearly seeing this kind of spiritual fruit for the first time.
"This is a specialty of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, nothing particularly valuable," Elder Wan added.
"Since it's Elder Wan's idea, you should all accept it." The Second Elder scanned the spiritual fruits with his spiritual sense and, finding nothing unusual, nodded directly.
"So these people are all from the Northern Ridge Holy Land."
"People from the Northern Ridge Holy Land have actually come! We hadn't heard anything about it before!"
"Our competition has become fierce this time; the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land are not to be trifled with."
The disciples whispered amongst themselves.
However, the group of little kids were very excited.
"Is the Beiling Holy Land the Beiling Holy Land we've heard about? There's so much gossip about this place that we haven't even finished hearing about yet. I wonder if we'll get any new information this time!"
"However, we must be careful with this gossip, as those people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land are also there!"
"Yes, yes, we must remain low-key and vigilant!"
Listening to the discussion of these young kids, Elder Wan on the other side was somewhat bewildered.
The ruins of the Southern Spirit Sect are very important, and he also wants to establish a good relationship with these guys in advance.
But are these really disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect?
Why are they all talking about gossip instead of cultivation?
It's only been a few decades since I last came here. Has something strange happened at the Nanling Sect?
