The void is long-lasting, with countless ages, divided into eras. When an era is about to end, a catastrophe often comes, and the void is like being purged. Many creatures are perishing in the purge, and only a very small number of powerful beings or forces can survive.
Come down and enter the next era.
However, this is the Little Era.
Powerful forces such as Xinyi Heavenly Palace lasted for more than one small era.
As a Taoist disciple of the Xinyi Heavenly Palace, Chen Zong naturally has an extraordinary amount of information that he can know.
In fact, there are not many records about the era in the Xinyi Heavenly Palace, but among the many forces in the entire void, it should be the most detailed. After all, the Xinyi Heavenly Palace is very powerful, and the more things it can retain in the face of catastrophe.
Epochs are divided into great epochs and minor epochs. The records about the Great Epoch and Xinyi Heavenly Palace are very simple and vague. It is just a statement, just like a theory, because no matter how powerful the force is, it cannot stop the catastrophe of the Epoch and perish.
, Unless you are a strong person who transcends the void, you will not be able to survive the catastrophe of the Epoch.
As for the difficulty of the minor epoch catastrophe, it is not as difficult as the big epoch catastrophe. At least Xinyi Heavenly Palace has survived several minor epoch catastrophes. Although there will be heavy losses every time, it has still been continued and passed down to this day.
According to the records of Xinyi Heavenly Palace, the Minor Era is divided into several periods from very early to the present.
Archaic Era, Ancient Era, Medieval Era, Recent Era.
Xinyi Heavenly Palace was founded at the end of the Ancient Era. Fortunately, it survived the catastrophe of the Ancient Era and entered the Medieval Era. It had enough time to develop and grow. It survived the catastrophe of the Medieval Era and continued into the Modern Era. Although it suffered great losses, it was still passed down.
Grow and grow again.
Today, we are in the Modern Era, which is considered to be in the middle period, not yet the end.
Prosperity and decline are the laws of development of anything.
Today's ancient era has not yet reached its peak of strength, and the so-called catastrophe will not come. These are not things Chen Zong needs to consider.
Even if the catastrophe really comes, there is a high possibility of death at the Dominator level, let alone at the Yuanming realm level. It is useless to think so much.
The ancient ruins of Hades are exactly a secret realm left over from the Middle Ages, an open secret realm.
The so-called open secret realm refers to a secret realm that anyone can enter at any time.
Such a secret realm, with no restrictions on cultivation, age, etc., sounds like a very safe secret realm, but in fact it is not. The ancient ruins are very dangerous.
Of course, it also depends on luck. If you enter it at the demigod level, you may get some incredible treasures, and if you enter it at the master level, you may die inside.
The Hades ruins have existed since the Middle Ages and have still not been completely deciphered, and no one can tell how much remains.
Many people in Xinyi Tiangong have also traveled through the Minggu ruins. After returning, they will leave some records in the Tiangong and become records. Chen Zong has read through many records and has a good understanding of the Minggu ruins.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. This is how Chen Zong always does things.
The distance between the Vacuum Sect and the ancient ruins of Hades is not that far, but the location of the ruins of Hades is a bit strange, located in the void zone between the eastern void and the southern void.
This void zone is very vast, far wider than the void zone between the star fields, at least ten times larger.
In the void zone, if there are no void natural disasters, there will be no wind or waves, and even the flow of breath will stop. Here, it is impossible to travel through the void.
Riding the "Dunkong" void flying boat, Chen Zong flew into the void zone and flew in the direction of the ancient ruins.
A huge gray vortex, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, exists in this void zone. It is slowly rotating. It looks like a miniature version of the gray galaxy. The color becomes darker towards the center, and the center is completely black.
.
This is the entrance to the ancient ruins.
There is an indescribable feeling in the dark and huge vortex, and the atmosphere seems to be incompatible with today.
However, the ancient ruins of Hades have been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present, and their aura is different from what they are now, which is normal.
Staring at the center of the gray-black vortex, the darkness is so deep that it is like a black hole that can swallow everything and no light can escape.
The moment Chen Zong was about to enter, suddenly, a figure shuttled out of it, as if rushing out of the water. The incompatible aura on his body was dissipating little by little as it appeared.
This is a cultivator who came out of the ancient ruins. His aura is much more powerful than Chen Zong's, and he is like a strong man in the supernatural realm.
The powerful man in the supernatural realm glanced around and saw Chen Zong. After a slight pause, he ignored him and left.
This vortex is both the entrance and the exit.
With a flash of his body, Chen Zong rushed towards the center of the vortex and plunged into it.
When Chen Zong shuttled into the center of the vortex, a feeling of emptiness filled his body. It was a completely different feeling, very old and a bit dilapidated.
A piece of charred and broken land was covered with cracks, as if it would break at any time. Behind it was a huge gray-black vortex with a diameter of 10,000 meters.
This is the entrance to the Hades ruins, and it is also the exit.
The ancient ruins are not like the secret realms that Chen Zong has entered in the past. There is a time limit. You can stay here as long as you want, but when you want to leave, you can only go through this exit, which is also the only exit.
The demi-god level can enter, the Yudao realm can enter, the Yuanming realm can enter, the supernatural power realm can also enter, and both the Taoist and Dominant levels can enter.
This kind of open secret realm is also very dangerous. This danger comes from the ruins themselves and from other practitioners.
To put it simply, if a demi-god provokes the realm of the divine, he will die.
Of course, there are many wonderful places in the ancient ruins, just like Taixu Shen Ruins, so even low-level cultivators can hope to escape from high-level cultivators in these wonderful places.
"Tian Ming Ancient Tree, Ming Ancient Monument, Hades Palace..." Chen Zong murmured in a low voice. These are all located within Ming Ancient Relics. They are recorded in the Xinyi Heavenly Palace and are among the more valuable of these Ming Ancient Relics.
place.
To break into and explore this ruins, of course you need to uncover mysteries that have never appeared before, but you also need to explore the mysteries that have already been discovered. These mysteries are not one-time, but can be used repeatedly.
There are not only written records of the Xinyi Heavenly Palace, but also maps, all of which were firmly remembered by Chen Zong. In the sea of spirits, he quickly sketched it with the thoughts of the soul, just like a master of painting, and it was lifelike and more
It is to mark your location.
Immediately, with his strong memory and logical deduction, he marked all kinds of mysterious places in the records, and they were almost inseparable.
The next step is to naturally look for these mysterious places. The closest one is where the Tianming Ancient Tree is located.
Not long after, Chen Zong saw other cultivators, but he was not alone, but several people formed a team and acted together. These people also saw Chen Zong, their eyes full of vigilance.
Except for those cultivators who take pleasure in killing people, or who have drastically changed their character, when a normal cultivator encounters someone they don't know, their first reaction is not to take action, but to avoid it. This is to avoid unnecessary trouble.
This is not because of cowardice, but because there is not enough benefit, and you are not tempted enough to take action.
Chen Zong ignored them and walked forward.
I just don’t know if the Minggu tree will bear fruit that day if I come in at this time?
If it bears fruit, is it mature?
That's right, the most valuable thing about the Tianming Ancient Tree is its fruit. Taking it can help you tap into your own potential and make your cultivation more efficient.
However, only ripe fruits are effective. If they are not ripe, they are poisonous. Some practitioners once took immature fruits. As a result, not only did they fail to stimulate their own potential, but they also bleed from all the orifices. They could not stop it no matter what, and eventually died of bleeding.
Death.
The ancient tree of Tianming is thousands of meters high, with thick branches that are almost black. Its leaves are round, half the size of a human, deep in color, and the pages are thick and covered with black veins.
Among the broad leaves, green fruits the size of thumbs are condensed.
"Not mature yet." Chen Zong frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh slightly, feeling a little regretful.
Judging from the size and color of the fruit, it is still very early to mature. According to records, it takes more than a hundred years for the fruits of the Tianming Ancient Tree to mature.
In other words, it is at least several decades away from maturity.
It is impossible for him to stay here for decades, so he can only leave and find other mysterious places.
Within the Ming Ancient Ruins, there is of course not just one Tianming Ancient Tree, but many, but they are located in different places and need to be found.
In addition, there are also mysterious places such as the Hades Palace and the Hades Monument, all of which are helpful to practitioners.
For example, the Palace of Pluto is used for challenges. If you succeed in the challenge, you can get the treasures in it. On the contrary, if you fail the challenge, you may die.
However, the Palace of Pluto is a secret that can be encountered but not sought. If you are lucky, you will encounter it, but you may not be able to find it if you deliberately search for it.
As for the ancient stele of the underworld, there are several of them, and the most valuable thing is their inscriptions. Their inscriptions contain great mysteries that can be understood.
In addition to these, there are other mysteries within the ancient ruins.
Whether you can encounter it or not depends on your luck. Of course, it also has something to do with your strength. The more powerful a practitioner can go deeper, the more unknowns he can naturally explore.
Chen Zong is still very interested in the relics handed down from the Middle Ages.
I don’t know if there is any difference between the cultivation system in the medieval era and the current cultivation system?
But thinking about it, it should be almost the same. After all, Xinyi Heavenly Palace originated from ancient times, and some inheritances have been passed down. In terms of cultivation, there should not be much change.
The real major change in the cultivation system should be the change of the Great Era. The impact of the change of the Minor Era on the cultivation system is not that obvious.
Even so, the change of the Minor Era will still have some impact.
The way of cultivation in the Middle Ages and the way of cultivation today, even if they both focus on practicing Qi and body, there are still subtle differences.
Chen Zong just wanted to take a look, maybe he could get a glimpse of more secrets of the way of cultivation, and further improve himself.
