The Red Dust Immortal from the Overlord Clan said this as he slowly walked forward. He ca across a broken relic weapon, squatted down with a smile, and admired it, "Such exquisite etching, such a sharp edge! Although it's a broken weapon and it lacks the fluctuation of Dao Principles, making it hard to identify its quality, the fact that it has survived for millions of years without decaying unquestionably marks it as a high-grade Immortal Artifact."
Saying that, he reached out to touch it, intending to pick up the broken relic weapon for a closer examination.
However, as soon as his fingers made contact with the broken relic weapon, it instantly crumbled into dust with a rustle, leaving behind a handful of ashes.
"This..." The Red Dust Immortal from the Overlord Clan was startled, then his pupils dilated as one broken relic weapon after another disintegrated until even the skeletons on the ground turned into ash in the blink of an eye.
"The lifespan of a mountain is rely a hundred thousand years; millions of years have passed, and even Immortal Artifacts and Immortals cannot withstand the erosion of ti, all of them have eroded," a Red Dust Immortal sighed.
"Sothing is not right, the halls have not decayed over the years, and these can be confird as Immortal Artifact treasures. How is it possible that they have decayed first?" another Red Dust Immortal exclaid in surprise.
"Death! Their decay wasn't a natural erosion over ti but rather the result of being afflicted by the Laws of Death, they died!" Yang Ji suddenly spoke out, seeing through his eyes information others could not perceive.
"The Laws of Death? When we were battling those Death Spirits earlier, I also felt a hint of the Laws of Death. Could it be that a powerful Immortal who cultivated the Laws of Death destroyed all this?" the crowd wondered aloud, astonished.
"This great hall seems to be the Sutra Pavilion, let's go inside and take a look. Perhaps we can find so Cultivation Techniques and information related to this Immortal Realm Relic," the Red Dust Immortal from the Immortal Clan suggested.
The crowd exchanged glances and followed suit, entering the pavilion. Along the way, they saw many skeletal remains that turned into flying ash at the slightest tremor of their footsteps.
"All decayed, the Laws of Death are this powerful? They caused the Immortals' skeletons and Immortal Artifacts to 'die'. Did a Great Luo Immortal Sage, soone above a Golden Immortal, strike here?" the crowd marveled.
"Hey, hey, hey, we're here to find treasures, not to probe into ancient secrets. Millions of years have passed, countless powers have vanished in the river of ti; let's not look into that, just focus on treasure hunting," the Red Dust Immortal from the Overlord Clan spoke with a furrowed brow.
"Right, we've co for treasures, let's not bother with so much," the Red Dust Immortal from the Holy Race spoke, shaking his head, "There's nothing good outside, let's check the inner sanctum."
The group moved inward, finding signs of battle everywhere, surrounded by skeletal remains and broken weapons.
With their gentle steps creating faint vibrations, everything turned to flying ash, dissipating with the wind. They were like outsiders, witnessing a chapter of history unknown to others.
"So many skeletons, it's hard to imagine how fierce the battle must have been here. To beco an Immortal requires overcoming countless hardships, but these fallen Immortals, in the hundreds, t such a tragic end. Mortals are like ants, but it seems that in the Immortal Realm, Immortals are no different, dying in droves," a Red Dust Immortal from the God Race lanted.
"It's likely they provoked a powerful adversary, destroying the entire Sect!"
The group speculated.
They proceeded leisurely along the corridor, which soon opened up into a broad space.
A circular inner sanctum with a diater of around ten miles appeared before them, its walls rising around 300 zhang high, giving an extrely sturdy impression without any decorations—an empty circular space.
The inner sanctum's floor was also covered with skeletal remains, leaving no whole body, just fragnts and broken bones, hinting at the extre brutality of the battle that had taken place.
Everyone's gaze slowly moved forward to find the only intact skeleton.
He sat cross-legged on a cushion in the center, head hanging down, looking exhausted.
"This skeleton seems to be the guardian of this pavilion. Judging by his appearance, he seems to have died from exhaustion rather than being killed, likely after successfully defending the Sutra Pavilion," they deduced.
"Not successfully defended; look at these circular walls covered with nurous secret compartnts, with the incomplete nas of Cultivation Techniques written on the outside, all destroyed, not even showing full nas."
"'Immortal Aura'... What cos after it, could it be the 'Xian Gang Technique'? And over there, 'Cauldron Command'... Could it be a spell? Such a pity, so are cut in half by a sword aura, others almost completely by a blade aura, or directly blown apart, leaving behind only a small cave-like hole. Damn it, are we to leave empty-handed?"
"Heh, whether we leave empty-handed or not, we'll only know after searching. With so many secret compartnts, I refuse to believe they're all destroyed. Even if they are incomplete, I want them," soone proclaid.
People imdiately dispersed, flying in every direction to search.
As the slight disturbances continued, the bones on the ground also turned into flying ash, coating the floor.
While searching, suddenly a shout erupted, "Master Xun, that Jade Slip I found first, hand it over to !"
"There's a Cultivation Technique?"
At the prompt, the group's bodies shuddered, and they beca streaks of light, rushing toward that area.
Boom!
A fierce battle instantly erupted.
Yang Ji glanced in that direction and said,
"Priority for the high places, the secret compartnts at the very top of the circular walls, the Cultivation Techniques stored inside them must be the most precious. Naturally, the walls are the most severely damaged at the top, nearly every part of them broken, and the Jade Slips inside are probably destroyed."
