Chapter 538 Treasure Vault!

"Phew, it's finally over!"

Looking somewhat disheveled, Lu Chuan watched as the figures who had been attacking him quickly disappeared, and then he found himself back behind the white jade gate. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

This great array protecting the ruins is truly incredibly powerful, and the number of eighth-order light and shadow formations it generates is frighteningly large.

If Xiao Qiqi hadn't happened to know where the core of this great formation was and hadn't broken it in time, it would have been almost impossible for them to get through this time.

"Lu Chuan, how are you?"

Zhao Lin turned to look at Lu Chuan, whose face was bruised and swollen, and asked with some concern.

This was the first time she had ever seen Lu Chuan in such a disheveled state on their journey.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue, who had been secretly pleased with herself for destroying the great formation, realized what was happening and quickly looked at Lu Chuan with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Think about it, just now there were hundreds of eighth-order light and shadow beams attacking Dad alone. Getting injured would have been almost inevitable. The fact that he could hold out for so long under such an attack shows that Dad has a strong ability to survive.

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch. Luckily, Xiao Qiqi broke the formation in time."

Lu Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Although he possessed an indestructible body, he couldn't withstand being ganged up on by so many eighth-tier combatants.

However, due to his indestructible body, his injuries were not serious.

Then, Lu Chuan looked at Ji Ruxue and asked, "Qiqi, we've now entered the ruins, and you know quite a bit about it. Where do you think we should go next?"

"Dad, let's go to the treasure vault first! It contains the treasures of the entire ruins and should be one of the most important places in the ruins."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue thought for a moment and then told Lu Chuan about her choice.

This treasure trove contains not only various rare and precious materials, but also different cultivation techniques and combat skills. These techniques and skills are extremely valuable. In my previous life, they were scattered and many of them made a name for themselves in the outside world.

Ji Ruxue was determined to get her hands on these good things this time.

"Okay, Qiqi, you lead the way. We'll go to the treasure vault first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded and readily agreed.

He only had a superficial understanding of what was inside the ruins, and now that Ji Ruxue knew more about the place, he naturally respected her choice, which was the safest option.

"Ok."

Ji Ruxue nodded and led the two of them quickly to the right of the ruins' treasure vault.

Not long after flying over a dozen massive buildings, the three arrived in front of a solemn and majestic palace.

The palace looks like an ancient giant tortoise lying on the ground, its entire body is dark black, and its aura is cold. It occupies a large area of ​​the entire ruins.

The palace as a whole is made of black, strip-shaped boulders, stacked up to a height of tens of feet, with no end in sight on either side.

The surfaces of those black boulders were covered with layers of complex golden runes that were moving wildly, activating a large array of light that protected the entire palace, including the palace gates.

In addition, high up in the palace, hangs a long stone plaque with several ancient characters engraved on it.

Although Lu Chuan didn't recognize those characters, he guessed they were related to the treasure vault.

Next, Ji Ruxue led the way, bringing Lu Chuan and Zhao Lin to the entrance of the treasure vault. Gazing at the tightly closed door, Ji Ruxue's eyes flickered as she examined the runes that were constantly moving across its surface.

bang~
The next moment, Ji Ruxue gently touched the door with her palm. Then, the runes on the door lit up rapidly, and a tremendous force struck, directly knocking Ji Ruxue's palm away.

Clearly, this is the defensive mechanism of the formation.

Throughout this process, Ji Ruxue kept a close eye on the changes in these surface runes.

After several visits, Ji Ruxue finally saw through all the changes in the runes on the door, and a confident look appeared on her face.

Ji Ruxue's expression turned serious, and the spiritual energy within her body surged wildly, gathering at her fingertips, causing them to radiate a dazzling light.

Bang bang bang!
Then, Ji Ruxue raised her right hand and tapped the runes on the gate more than a dozen times, producing a series of muffled sounds.

Instantly, the runes that had been lighting up went out, just like a light bulb that had run out of power.

The runes on the gate were broken, and the array that had been suppressing the gate collapsed instantly. The array light barrier protecting the hall shattered directly.

Rumble~
Ji Ruxue pushed the heavy door open suddenly, and the massive stone door, which was thirty or forty meters high, slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

Inside the palace was a vast space, with the floor, like the previous plaza, made of jade and radiating a faint spiritual light.

Supporting the main hall are stone pillars arranged in two rows on both sides of the interior.

These stone pillars were inlaid with a large number of light stones for illumination, which instantly lit up the empty and slightly dim space.

Deep inside the palace, there are five sealed white jade doors, not far apart from each other.

Ji Ruxue and her two companions quickly entered the palace and headed straight for the depths.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the sealed jade gate.

Looking at the ancient characters engraved above the jade gate, Ji Ruxue led the two to the front of the fifth jade gate.

Inside this jade gate lies the treasure vault of the ruins, where martial arts techniques and combat skills are stored.

"Dad, what's hidden inside are the martial arts techniques and combat skills from the ruins."

Ji Ruxue explained something to Lu Chuan, then walked to the side of the jade gate and eagerly began to study the array patterns on its surface. As long as the jade gate could be opened, the numerous cultivation techniques and combat skills inside would be hers for the taking.

Lu Chuan was delighted to hear that the contents contained various martial arts techniques and combat skills.

Powerful cultivation techniques and combat skills are extremely rare, as these are crucial to whether a person can be invincible among their peers or even fight against opponents of higher levels.

He recently felt that his combat skills were somewhat lacking, and if he could obtain the combat skills here, he might be able to make up for some of his shortcomings.

Not to mention, these cultivation techniques and combat skills are definitely in short supply on the human side. When the time comes, he can choose some suitable cultivation techniques and combat skills from them and extort a lot of money from the human side.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile.

I've made the right choice coming to this ancient ruin; I'm about to reap great rewards right from the start.

Boom ~

At this moment, Ji Ruxue, who had been studying the Jade Gate Formation, had successfully broken the formation and opened the Jade Gate.
