C1251 Netherworld Ruins
The remains of Netherworld.
Wang family
Kun Ruins Peak.
Today was the hundredth day that Ning Qi had taken away the Jade Ruin Tower. Everyone was gloating over Ning Qi's misfortune. When Ning Qi found out that the Jade Ruin Tower had returned to Kun Ruins Peak by itself, what kind of expression would he have at that time? Many cultivator from the Wang families had faint smiles on their faces.
As time passed, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong. A hundred days ago, Ning Qi seemed to have taken away the Jade Ruin Tower at this time. Why hadn't the Jade Ruin Tower returned yet?
"Could it be..."
"Impossible. Even Profound True Great Saint couldn't lock onto the Jade Ruin Tower, let alone Patriarch Beixuan. Let's wait a little longer. Perhaps Patriarch Beixuan is very far away from the Wang family, and the Jade Ruin Tower will need some time to return."
"That's true."
Just like that, the group waited until night arrived and the sun rose again.
It was the 101st day since the Jade Ruin Tower left the Wang family.
"Quick, quickly report to the Old Ancestor that the Jade Ruin Tower... has been taken away!"
The Kun Ruins Peak was boiling with excitement.
A shadow emerged from the Kun Ruins Peak. It was a middle-aged cultivator. He first looked suspiciously at the peak of the Kun Ruins Peak before calculating with his fingers. His expression changed drastically as he turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the place where Profound True Great Saint was in seclusion.
"Great Sage, it's bad! The Jade Ruin Tower has been stolen by Patriarch Beixuan!"
Bang!
Like a lightning bolt, Profound True Great Saint suddenly appeared in front of the cultivator. His face was gloomy as he said, "What did you say?"
"The Jade Ruin Tower was stolen by Patriarch Beixuan. Today is the 101st day, but the Jade Ruin Tower hasn't returned..."
The middle-aged cultivator said in a trembling voice. He was filled with regret. As the guardian of Kun Ruins Peak, he could only watch helplessly as the Jade Ruin Tower was stolen. It was truly hard to absolve himself from the blame. However, in these tens of thousands of years, even Profound True Great Saint was unable to leave with the Jade Ruin Tower for more than a hundred days. Otherwise... He wouldn't have let Ning Qi take the Jade Ruin Tower away so easily.
"Go, go and catch Beixuan!"
Profound True Great Saint's expression was incomparably gloomy, and a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
"I, I will go alone?"
"Call out all the people in the family who are in secluded cultivation. Search every inch of the place, and bring them back to me!"
Profound True Great Saint snorted coldly.
"Yes!"
Wang family immediately sealed off the news and Kun Ruins Peak. No one was allowed to go up the mountain. At the same time, the people who were staying at Kun Ruins Peak were under house arrest. After that, one Dharma Image Cultivator after another left Wang family's Ancestral City. They flew in all directions, and groups of Eternal Stage Cultivators followed suit.
There was no wall in the world that couldn't be seen through. There were many cultivators who saw Ning Qi take away the Jade Ruin Tower with their own eyes. Many of them had left Wang family's Ancestral City a long time ago. After learning that Kun Ruins Peak was sealed, they gradually guessed the reason.
...
Immortal Spirit Sect.
Meng Tianshu was standing at the place where he was in seclusion. There were over a hundred Restrictions that he had personally set up in the outside world. The originally one-foot long Jade Ruin Tower was now thirty-three zhang tall, standing in front of Meng Tianshu.
The moving figures inside seemed to be getting clearer and clearer. Occasionally, there would be a few figures who would lie by the window and look at Meng Tianshu.
"You don't recognize me?"
Meng Tianshu smiled faintly.
All of a sudden, all of those figures disappeared. Finally, a foot tall, ferocious-looking little monster condensed in front of the Jade Ruin Tower.
It stared at Meng Tianshu, and after a while, it let out a pleasantly surprised chirp.
...
Mid Soil Immortal Realm.
According to the route recorded in the Jade Slip given by Meng Tianshu, Ning Qi crossed several trillion miles from Profound True Immortal Realm to Mid Soil Immortal Realm.
In a small town in Mid Soil Immortal Realm, there didn't seem to be any cultivators here. Not even a Battle Core Stage could be seen. There were also some Qi Refining Rank warriors here.
"Old man, may I know the name of this place?"
Ning Qi walked to a breakfast shop and asked an old man with a smile.
"This is the town of death."
The old man looked at Ning Qi and answered while packing the food for the customers.
"Dead town?"
Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly.
"Looks like you are here for the first time? There is nothing good to come to this dead town, let's just leave."
After the old man finished his business and saw that Ning Qi was still around, he advised.
"Old man, what do you mean by that? Why is this place called a dead town?"
Ning Qi asked.
"It's not a secret. A thousand years ago, this place wasn't actually called a dead town. It's not a town, but a city. It's a very famous city in the Mid Soil Immortal Realm, the 'Han Tang City'. There were a few True Lord in the city, and all of them were Dharma Image Stage warriors. Do you know about Dharma Image Stage? He is a Divine Immortal."
The old man said with a smile.
"Then why has he declined so much?"
Ning Qi frowned slightly.
"Decline? Oh, it has indeed declined. A thousand years ago, there was a huge change in Hantang City. Cultivators died overnight, and even ordinary civilians... Ninety percent of them died. Later on, they heard that Middle Earth Great Saint had come to check on them. However, they didn't find anything. After that, no cultivators or civilians dared to live in Han Tang City. We, the people who have lived here for generations, are the people who didn't want to leave. So this place is also known as the Death Town by outsiders."
The old man smiled.
"Here, that's the old address of Han Tang City. If you want to go and take a look, then go."
The old man pointed in a direction and said to Ning Qi.
"How do you know I want to go and take a look?"
Ning Qi asked curiously.
"These people, I don't know how many cultivators like you have come. They either died in Hantang City or returned empty-handed. So, little brother, you should just take a look outside and leave."
The old man waved his hand with a smile. "I'm going to do business. Let's talk later."
"Goodbye."2
Ning Qi nodded and flew in the direction the old man pointed. After flying for a few hundred miles, he saw the ruins of an ancient city. In just a short period of a thousand years, the once Han Tang City seemed to have experienced millions of years of weathering. It was almost impossible to see its original appearance.
Ning Qi took out the Jade Slip and compared it. The final destination of the Jade Slip was this place.
"Brother, you are also here to search for the ruins of Netherworld in Han Tang City?"
A few figures broke through the air and arrived. When they saw Ning Qi, they were slightly startled. After that, they greeted him with a smile. Ning Qi didn't want to bother with them. However, when he suddenly heard the words' Netherworld Ruins', his eyes slightly moved. He sized the two men and two women up and down. Their cultivation bases were around the Early Period of Eternal Stage. Ordinary Emperor Rank divine souls.
"May I know what you are talking about? Where did the inheritance of Netherworld come from?"
Ning Qi smiled and asked.
"So you don't even know about the inheritance of Netherworld? senior brother Wu, ignore him. Let's go in ourselves. If we can find a Dark Artifact, our trip here will not be in vain!"
A young girl who seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old glanced at Ning Qi disdainfully and said to the young man who greeted Ning Qi first like a spoiled child.
