Chapter 290: Chapter 290: As Expected

"Is that cave really the entrance to the legendary ruins? Why does it seem so useless?"

"What do you know! Inside the ruins, there are many treasures that can help cultivators break through bottlenecks. Have you forgotten that in the past few years, when the ruins were opened, all the prodigies of the cultivation world ca to participate? It’s said that there were heavy casualties, but very few actually obtained treasures in the end. This ans there definitely must be so earth-shattering treasures hidden inside."

"That’s a possibility..."

Upon hearing the conversations around him, Wu Xia’s heart surged with excitent. It seed his luck wasn’t too bad this ti.

He walked up to the entrance of the cave and started to carefully observe it.

He saw that all around the cave mouth, there were strange runes carved, which looked incredibly mystical, like tadpole scripture.

"Sothing’s wrong! These characters seem to be drawing

in. There must be a problem here!" Wu Xia murmured to himself with a frown.

"No matter, let’s explore and see!"

Thinking this, Wu Xia stepped right toward the entrance. But just as he took his first step, a strong suction force erged from within, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

Wu Xia’s complexion changed, and he quickly perford seals with both hands, casting a spell to resist the pulling force.

"Hmph! A re spell is going to trap ? Burst!"

With an angry shout, Wu Xia’s hands swiftly ford seals and struck towards the depths of the cave, instantly causing a burst of firelight to explode, illuminating the entire cave entrance.

Wu Xia looked at the spectacle inside the cave with a shocked expression, because he realized that he was actually standing inside a palace!

This palace was extrely majestic and spectacular, and it was also filled with an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

"What exactly is this place?" Wu Xia mumbled to himself.

But at that mont, a woman dressed in black appeared within his line of sight.

"This is the owner of the ruins, and since you’ve co here, you are the fated one," the woman said indifferently after seeing Wu Xia.

Wu Xia was montarily stunned. "The fated one? I don’t quite understand what you an."

The woman in black did not pay attention to Wu Xia but continued, "All cultivators who enter the ruins will die, except for you."

"What do you an by that?" Wu Xia furrowed his brow and looked at the woman in black, feeling that there was sothing odd about her words.

The woman in black gave a cold laugh and then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the empty palace in front of him, Wu Xia’s mouth twitched slightly. "The fated one? No way! I don’t even have a bit of cultivation!"

"However, this place does seem quite magical..."

Shaking his head, Wu Xia then walked deeper into the palace.

After an unknown amount of ti, he finally ca across a giant pillar, on which was inscribed "Forbidden Area of the Ruins" in big characters.

Underneath the pillar was a stone table, and on the table were arrayed a variety of objects.

Wu Xia’s gaze fell upon the items on the stone table, and his eyes instantly widened: "This, this is..."

Wu Xia felt his heart nearly leap out as he took in everything before him.

On the stone table, there were Immortal Artifacts and Elixirs, each one incredibly valuable, and there were many of them.

These were precisely the things that those in the cultivation world needed most!

What’s more crucial was that these Immortal Artifacts and Elixirs were all emitting a rich Spiritual Energy, which ant they were definitely invaluable.

With so many precious treasures, just how wealthy must the owner of this ruin be to willingly trade away these items?

However, Wu Xia quickly ca to his senses, as all of these things were fake, and anyone who wasn’t a fool could see they were fake.

A look of disdain appeared on Wu Xia’s face as he thought, "All these are trash, the real good stuff must have been taken away by the owner of the ruins!"

Wu Xia stepped forward and reached out to grab a pill.

"Hmm? This pill looks so familiar..." After carefully tasting it, Wu Xia suddenly realized, "This is the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pill!"

"The Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pill, an elixir that, when consud by an Immortal, can enhance one’s realm. A single pill can increase a hundred years of cultivation. Are there really so many here?"

Excitent flickered in Wu Xia’s eyes—this was simply a huge profit!

"No! I can’t give up! This is a ruin! Perhaps there are even more treasures inside!"

With that thought, Wu Xia moved towards the next palace.

Indeed, as he walked forward, he encountered many more treasures, though they were just ordinary goods.

"However..." Wu Xia touched his chin, his face showing a hint of roguish charm.

After observing his surroundings, he quietly emptied everything from his storage ring onto the ground, then stuffed the ring into his pocket.

After dumping out the items, Wu Xia slowly walked out of the palace.

When Wu Xia erged, his expression instantly changed, and his entire deanor turned cold.

He wasn’t very fond of this ruin because, despite the dense Spiritual Power, the treasures were too few.

Nevertheless, Wu Xia hadn’t co for the treasures; his purpose was to escort and protect.

The cultivators needed to beco stronger to resist the invasion of the Demon Beast Clan three years later.

As Wu Xia wandered, he soon entered an ancient bronze palace, and to his surprise, there was a coffin inside the great hall.

The bronze coffin emanated a thick Spiritual Energy. Wu Xia furrowed his brows and took a step forward.

"Could the person lying inside this coffin be the owner of these ruins?"

Recalling what the old man had said, he didn’t dare to get too close; after all, he was not as foolish as the people here. What if there was indeed a formidable being inside?

Wu Xia glanced around. The place was an ancient site, surrounded by massive stone sculptures that ford buildings, all cast in bronze and engraved with runes on their surfaces, looking extrely mysterious and enigmatic.

Wu Xia walked up to the bronze coffin and, looking at the slumbering corpse, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, "Such a powerful aura!"

Though it was only a corpse, Wu Xia could clearly feel the formidable pressure emanating from it.

"How can such a person exist here? Could it be so major boss?"

Wu Xia was astonished, and even more puzzled—this place was clearly a cultivation holy land. If it weren’t a major boss, what else could exude such an imposing aura?

Wu Xia reached out to touch the coffin, but was repelled by the Spiritual Power covering it, his face changing subtly as he quickly stepped back.

"It really isn’t simple at all!"

Wu Xia muttered to himself, no longer daring to approach carelessly.

"What exactly is this place?" Wu Xia looked around; besides desolation, there was nothing.
