I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

He acted decisively and killed the enemy without the slightest hesitation.

Faced with the ruins right before their eyes, they had no desire for personal gain or to rush ahead, nor were they blinded by the benefits and opportunities they might have.

In this situation, it's already quite remarkable that he was able to maintain such a clear mind.

It's good that these people have left.

Now it's up to Lu Xuan to make his move.

There were only two people among the ruins.

No one would know even if you killed him.

Lu Xuan considered anyone who stood in his way of obtaining opportunities and treasures as an enemy.

Moreover, these people from the Qinghe Sword Sect were never good people to begin with.

So what if they killed him?

After Xiao Yunshan and the others left.

Lu Xuan also moved quickly and walked into the entrance of the cave.

Shen Yun and Liu Zhanqing did not lie in ambush here; clearly, after killing the people, they decisively entered the ruins.

Lu Xuan strode forward.

The cave was not dimly lit, and there were stones on the rock walls that emitted a fluorescent glow.

The passage was cut open very smoothly.

Soon Lu Xuan arrived at a stone gate.

The stone gate should be the entrance, with the words "Dutian Cave" written on it.

Dutian Cave?

Wouldn't this perfectly complement the Heaven-Crossing True Technique in his hands?

Clearly, the stone tablet containing the cultivation technique was taken from here.

Huang Tianba was probably one of the earlier groups to arrive, which is why he managed to get his hands on the items.

If it were the current situation, Huang Tianba, a mere first-rank martial artist, would definitely not be included.

Perhaps Huang Tianba himself is a spy planted by Ye Liang National Security.

It's perfectly normal for major powers to employ various tactics against each other.

There must be some way to infiltrate the area; otherwise, how can we proceed with the next step of the work?

Unfortunately, even if these people obtained the cultivation technique stone tablet, they might not be able to understand it.

Otherwise, Huang Tianba would have started cultivating long ago.

Advanced cultivation techniques, besides producing more powerful true qi and qi, also exhibit a wide range of effects.

Even without powerful cultivation techniques, it is extremely difficult to concentrate your spiritual power.

If you try to figure it out on your own, how long will it take to succeed?

Therefore, Lu Xuan was determined to obtain this mental cultivation technique.

There were clearly some signs of damage at the gate.

You can see that the wall is pitted and uneven.

Some of the more valuable items had already been looted.

This is not the first time these ruins have been explored.

After looking around, Lu Xuan was about to continue walking forward when...

But suddenly he sensed that the Heavenly Crossing Technique seemed to be operating on its own, being attracted by something of the same attribute.

So when Lu Xuan looked toward the other side of the stone wall, his eyes immediately narrowed.

"Wait... Although Yang Qinghou's map and the map in Hongque's hand have some overlap."

"But there are still some differences."

"This should be another passage!"

Lu Xuan saw a groove on the stone wall.

The groove looks very similar in shape to the martial arts manual stone tablet in Huang Tianba's hand.

Just then, Lu Xuan also brought the cultivation technique stone tablet.

They then re-inserted it.

Click!

When Lu Xuan returned the cultivation technique stone tablet to its original position.

Sure enough, we heard the sound of the mechanism.

"Really?!"

Lu Xuan was overjoyed.

After all, I had thought that bringing the original stone tablet might come in handy.

He had already memorized everything on the stone tablet, so it didn't matter if someone took it away.

For the average person, understanding the above content is not something that can be solved simply by having time.

Without sufficient comprehension, even if you study for thirty or fifty years, you will still not have a clue.

When the stone tablet re-entered the inner wall.

The stone wall in front of them slowly parted, revealing a staircase leading to an underground passage.

Lu Xuan took out the Sun-Breaking Sword and held it in his hand. Then he circulated his inner energy and walked downwards.

As Lu Xuan's figure slipped inside, the stone door behind him slowly closed again.

At the same time, the stone tablet containing the cultivation technique slowly rose from the side.

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised to see this.

"This is incredibly advanced? How was this designed?"

Although I know that some families have created mechanisms that can be described as ingenious.

But Lu Xuan had never actually seen it with his own eyes.

A slightly more sophisticated example is the secret room design I saw in Huang Tianba's house at Mingyue Villa last time.

Then there's this ruin right in front of us.

At this moment, Lu Xuan also began to take the current situation seriously.

Who knows, there might be some deadly traps or mechanisms hidden within these ruins.

After all, this place is, to put it bluntly, the tomb of the strong.

As Lu Xuan walked down the steps...

At this moment, Shen Yun and Liu Zhanqing had already arrived at the depths of the secret chamber.

As you can see, there is a very tall stone wall in front of you.

The stone wall is painted with images of strange beasts, which look very lifelike.

"Elder, where is this place?"

Liu Zhanqing couldn't help but ask.

"This is the final hurdle. The treasures from the previous locations have already been taken. If we can get through this last hurdle, we'll likely obtain a large amount of resources!"

Shen Yun looked at the towering stone wall, his eyes shining, his heart filled with excitement.

Liu Zhanqing, however, frowned.

"But didn't you just say that at least three rank-three martial artists are needed to break the formation?"

"If I were to use secret techniques, I could barely raise my cultivation to the third rank, and even with me, there would only be two of us at most."

Liu Zhanqing couldn't help but say.

At this point, Shen Yun gave a mysterious smile.

"Hehe, before we came, the sect leader said that those guys from Ye Liang Kingdom might not be reliable, and might even turn around and bite us. So he sent the two stewards, Gu Shunchang and Yuan Fei, in disguise. They should arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Gu Shunchang!

Yuan Fei!

Liu Zhanqing's eyes lit up when he heard the two names.

These two are genuine third-rank martial artists, and also black-clad stewards.

In this way, this wave can be very stable!

"What a pity. If the two deacons had arrived earlier, they could have kept all those people here."

"To prevent these people from ruining the important affairs of my Qinghe Sword Sect."

There was also a hint of regret in Liu Zhanqing's eyes.

This was clearly a missed opportunity.

Chu Lingsheng of the Chu family and Xiao Yunshan of the City Lord's Mansion are not to be trifled with either.

They are all third-rank experts; killing one of them is equivalent to weakening the opponent by one point.

They still didn't take the Chu family seriously.

However, the strength of the City Lord's Mansion still needs to be carefully guarded against.

"It's alright. As long as we obtain the resources here, the strength of our Qinghe Sword Sect will be greatly enhanced!"

Excitement also shone in Shen Yun's eyes.

He took the lead in this wave, charging to the very front.

The rewards from the sect will naturally be the greatest.

They could even pocket a portion of the goods before handing them over.

Even this slight increase can greatly enhance one's strength.

At their level, their potential has been almost completely exhausted.

The only thing one can do is to use all sorts of rare and precious materials to forcibly raise one's cultivation level.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to make a breakthrough.

Liu Zhanqing and Shen Yun waited for the arrival of the two stewards outside this final checkpoint.

Another purpose of their presence here was to keep the rest of the people out.

Of course, this place is not easily found by the average person, as it is quite secluded.

Without a map, it's hard to find, and there are several other places where strange beasts are lurking.

There isn't just one fourth-grade exotic beast on this small island.

Lu Xuan followed the steps.

Finally, we arrived at a place that resembled an underground chamber.

A stone wall appeared directly in front of us.

The stone wall is not very tall.

And it looks like there's still a part on top.

This stone wall should only be the lower half.

It was cut off.

Lu Xuan arrived in front of the stone wall and felt the ancient aura emanating from it.

Besides marveling at the exquisite carvings on the stone wall, one is also awestruck by the aura emanating from it.

"This... should be an array."

Lu Xuan had previously received the favor of the array formation.

It is equivalent to a large amount of array formation inheritance.

Looking at the massive stone wall before them, it was now clear that this stone wall was an array.

"Now that we've come this far, we might as well test the power of this formation."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, then placed his palm on it.

At the same time, he infused his own internal energy into it.

next moment.

The statues on the stone wall in front of us all seemed to come back to life at this moment.

Rumble!

Lu Xuan took a few steps back, holding the Sun-Breaking Sword and staring at the stone wall in front of him.

The next moment, a mysterious power burst forth from the stone wall.

Click!

Three strange beasts broke free from the stone wall, as if they had been fossilized.

He leaped down and landed in front of Lu Xuan.

The three strange beasts surrounded Lu Xuan.

"Pictographic array".

"Using the power of formations to create objects, thereby launching an offensive."

"The person who set up this symbolic array, and with such a strong aura of strange beasts, must have put in a lot of hard work."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Clearly, they also greatly admired the person who orchestrated this.

Setting up an array isn't as simple as just randomly throwing in a few spirit stones and placing them in positions.

This requires many steps.

Just look at this array-shaped stone wall in front of us.

They are all equivalent to a magic array artifact.

It would take at least ten or eight years of practice to create such a formation, and the opponent's formation skills also need to reach a certain level.

Of course, Lu Xuan didn't have that much time to appreciate the craftsmanship of the opponent's formation.

At this moment, the three petrified beasts had already launched an attack on Lu Xuan.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Faced with the petrified beast charging forward, Lu Xuan also slashed out with the spirit sword in his hand.

The petrified beast's skin is even harder than black iron.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan's Sun-Breaking Sword was of a high level.

However, just as Lu Xuan was using his powerful qi to shatter these petrified beasts...

However, they discovered that the formation had not dissipated.

The shattered beasts before them seemed to be drawn to a magnet, quickly reforming their bodies.

"Oh? It's an infinitely healing formation..."

"This person's skill in array formations is indeed profound and exquisite."

"If that's the case, then we can't break the formation by brute force."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's aged eyes.

He murmured.
