Chapter 240 Cultivation World 29
Fifteen minutes later, the two stone giants were killed.

After killing it, Si Lingle went to break the restrictions on the bronze giant gate. These restrictions were even more complex than those outside, and it took Si Lingle more than a month to break them.

After breaking through, Zizhen still led the way, entering the giant bronze gate.

Upon entering the bronze gate, the gate vanished, leaving behind a bottomless abyss. The wooden bridge connecting to the abyss swayed precariously in the wind.

This is not an illusion! It is real.

The Heavenly Eye has already seen countless skeletons beneath the abyss, some human, some beast.

Beneath the abyss lie countless phantoms.

This abyss has a restriction that blocks divine sense, making it impossible for divine sense to detect.

So no one else knows that countless phantoms await beneath this abyss.

These phantoms would attack as soon as they crossed the bridge.

Si Lingle also suspected that there was a flight restriction in this abyss.

Unable to fly, if these phantoms attack, anyone who falls will surely die.

Su Jin from the Loose Cultivator Alliance asked, "Is this an illusion?"

Si Lingle replied, "It's not an illusion; it's a real existence."

After saying that, Si Lingle took out a low-level flying spirit beast from her spirit beast bag and controlled it to fly to the other side.

As soon as it reached the top of the abyss, the flying spirit beast began to fall, and the phantom hidden beneath the abyss flew out and tore the flying spirit beast apart and devoured it.

“There are restrictions on flying in this abyss, and there are also phantoms at the bottom of the abyss. It will probably take some effort to get across,” Si Lingle said to the group.

After discussing it for a while, the group stepped onto the wooden bridge together.

Once on the wooden bridge, Zi Hui from the Qingxuan Sect took out a defensive magic treasure, which enveloped everyone.

The others then began to kill Phantom using their own methods.

It took them more than half an hour to cross the 100-meter bridge to the other side.

After crossing to the other side, another stone gate appeared.

There is also a stone tablet next to the stone gate.

The stone tablet was inscribed with ancient characters, which Si Lingle recognized. It read that those who entered the country faced nine deaths and one life, but those who turned back still had a chance to survive.

Xiang Chen from the Divine Blade Sect asked, "What is written on this stone tablet?"

Qingxuan Sect's Lü Yang said, "Those who enter have a slim chance of survival, but turning back now offers a chance of survival. It seems that what lies beyond this stone gate is extremely dangerous."

Su Jin from the Loose Cultivator Alliance said, "The path of cultivation is inherently a matter of nine deaths and one life."

Si Lingle was pondering why it was written as "entrants" instead of "entrants through the stone gate."

What kind of realm is this?!
A secret realm, an illusion, a dream, or a labyrinth?
"Opportunities and crises coexist; perhaps a tremendous opportunity awaits us," said Xinrui of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“Let’s go, after we enter the stone gate,” Zizhen said.

Before Zizhen pushed open the stone door, Si Lingle said, "Everyone, this stone tablet says that those who enter will face nine deaths and one life, not that those who enter the stone door. This realm may be a secret realm, an illusion, a dream, or something else. Perhaps after entering, we will be separated."

After speaking, Si Lingle took out seven defensive arrays and handed them to the group. "It is fate that we met. These are defensive arrays that I have crafted. I hope that you will have the opportunity to leave alive."

The group suddenly realized!

Indeed, the inscription on the stone tablet says that those who enter the gate face nine deaths and one life, not those who enter the stone gate.

They didn't even notice.

This fellow Daoist Nan Chu is truly meticulous.

The group accepted Si Lingle's defensive array and bowed in gratitude.

Zi Hui from the Qingxuan Sect handed Si Lingle a pot of spiritual wine, saying, "This is spiritual wine I brewed. It can quickly restore spiritual power, and I also hope that Fellow Daoist Nan Chu can have this opportunity."

"Thank you." Si Lingle accepted the spirit wine and nodded.

The others also gave Si Lingle talismans and pills as a token of their gratitude for the reminder and as a gift.

Then Zizhen pushed open the stone door, and everyone entered through it.

Suddenly, a bright light shone forth, and a time-space traversal array appeared out of thin air, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura. The array was activated, emitting a powerful suction force that pulled Si Lingle and the others into it.

Everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes, their bodies spinning uncontrollably, the wind whistling in their ears, as if the whole world was collapsing.

As the light faded and the wind died down, they found themselves in a strange and ancient world.

A thin layer of gray mist hung in the sky, giving it a sense of oppression and antiquity.

On the ground, the mountains and rivers were broken and dried up, creating a desolate landscape.

Strange lights flashed across the distant sky from time to time, as if hiding countless secrets.

Tianjian Sect's Xinrui asked, "Where...where are we?"

Si Lingle looked around and slowly said, "Although the spiritual energy here is abundant, it is full of violence and chaos. The laws of heaven and earth are also very different from what we are familiar with. We have probably been transported to an extremely distant era, perhaps the legendary ancient period."

Zizhen clenched his fist, a resolute look in his eyes, and said, "Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. We can only try to survive here and find a way back."

The group looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

Just as they were at a loss, a group of monks dressed in ancient attire suddenly appeared in the distance.

These cultivators, their eyes wary and weapons in hand, surrounded Si Lingle and the others.

The leader, an elderly man with white hair but sharp eyes, shouted, "Where do you strange guests come from? Why are you in this desolate ancient world?"

Zizhen quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Senior, we don't know why we were teleported here. We mean no harm, and we hope that you can give us some guidance."

The old man looked them up and down and said, "Judging from your clothes and aura, you don't seem to be from the Ancient Era. However, since you've come here, you must abide by the rules. This Ancient Era world is currently in the midst of a great calamity, with various forces constantly fighting each other. You'd better not wander around carelessly, lest you invite disaster upon yourselves."

Xiang Chen from the Divine Blade Sect asked curiously, "Senior, what exactly happened in this ancient world? Why is it so chaotic?"

The old man sighed and said, "Hundreds of years ago, a great war between gods and demons broke out in the ancient world. Countless powerful beings participated in the war, causing the world to be on the verge of collapse. Although the war eventually ended, the world's wounds were difficult to heal. Today, various forces are vying for treasures that can repair the world, hence the constant conflicts."

Just as the old man was speaking, a huge black spear suddenly fell from the sky, carrying an aura of destruction, and attacked the crowd.

The old man's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Not good! Get out of the way!" Everyone quickly used their magic to scatter in all directions.

The black spear slammed into the ground, instantly creating a huge crater and sending dust flying.

Looking at the black spear, Su Jin from the Loose Cultivator Alliance exclaimed with fear, "What kind of magic weapon is this? It's so powerful!"

The old man said, "This is the weapon of an ancient demon god, with boundless power. Now that it has reappeared in the world, it will probably cause another bloodbath."

At this moment, another shout of battle came from afar, and a group of demonic cultivators rushed towards them.

The old man said, "It seems we've been targeted by demonic cultivators. Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Si Lingle and the others drew their weapons, ready for battle. The demonic cultivators quickly rushed forward, and a fierce battle immediately ensued.

During the battle, Si Lingle and the others gradually discovered that these demonic cultivators were extremely powerful, and their spells were unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

Moreover, the unique rules of heaven and earth in the ancient era meant that although the spiritual energy was abundant, it was extremely violent, like a wild horse that was difficult to tame.

Each time you absorb spiritual energy, you need to put in more effort than usual to guide and refine it.

The laws of heaven and earth seemed to have a natural aversion to these outsiders, and their cultivation was suppressed to a certain extent in this world.

Therefore, it was more difficult for them to regain their spiritual power than in the original world, and thus the battles became even more difficult.

Despite their best efforts, the group gradually found themselves in a predicament.

Seeing this, Si Lingyue no longer concealed her cultivation level and used the "Thousand Peaks Suppressing Prison" divine power to summon illusory mountain peaks to materialize and attack.

The demonic cultivator was crushed to death by the illusory mountain peak.

The demonic cultivator was no match for them and fled in panic.

After the demonic cultivator escaped, Zizhen and the others looked at Si Lingle.

Zizhen quickly and respectfully said, "I didn't expect that you would hide your cultivation level, senior."

"When you're out and about, you should of course keep a low profile," Si Ling said with a smile.

Si Lingle transmitted her voice, saying, "This should be the ancient world, and behind the stone gate was a time-space travel array."

At this time, the space-time teleportation array, the simulation robot found the array book in the celestial palace space, and Si Lingle looked at it.

However, the materials for crafting the Time-Space Travel Array are extremely scarce.

“I know how to craft this space-time teleportation array, but we need to find some materials. If we don’t have them, we’ll have to stay in this world forever.”

"Since I've come to this world, I'll treat it as a trial and strive to improve my strength."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So Si Lingle and the others followed the old man to his sect to seek protection.

As for the black spear, the old man put it away, and the storage bags on the demonic cultivators he killed were divided equally among the group.

The old man was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Longevity Sect, which was a medium-sized sect in this world.

Si Lingle and her group were lucky; the sect leader of the Longevity Sect was very friendly.

Although this Longevity Sect differed from their original sect in many ways, their shared commitment to righteousness and fighting against evil led them to join and become guest elders.

This world is now overrun by monstrous beasts. They are powerful and ferocious, and often attack human sects. The Longevity Sect is no exception, and is frequently harassed by ancient monstrous beasts.

Originally, the war between gods and demons had caused constant fighting among various forces, and the rampant monsters made it difficult for small and medium-sized sects to survive.

Therefore, although Si Lingle and the others were cultivators from another world, their cultivation level was not low, so the sect leader of the Longevity Sect was very friendly and invited them to join the sect.

This way, the sect will also gain more strength.

With more strength, the sect can survive for one more day.

Not long after Si Lingle and the others joined the sect, they faced a severe test.

One day, news came from the direction of the ancient ruins that spiritual energy was surging. A large number of evil cultivators and ancient monsters began to gather, suggesting that a sealed place was loosening.

The sect leader made a decisive decision and dispatched elite disciples to investigate.

Si Lingle and the others also went along.

As the teleportation array activated, a dazzling light enveloped them, and they appeared at the entrance to the ancient ruins.

The sky here is gloomy and oppressive, and the withered bones on the ground seem to tell the story of the fierce battles that once took place.

As soon as they entered, they felt a strong sense of oppression, as if invisible eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Si Lingle stood at the front of the group, her gaze cold. She could sense that the spiritual energy fluctuations in this area were abnormally chaotic, as if some unsettling power was hidden within.

"Everyone stay alert," Elder Hanshan warned in a low voice, then led everyone deeper into the ruins.

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, they discovered an ancient stone tablet, surrounded by a large number of ancient monsters and evil cultivators.

The stone tablet was covered with densely packed runes, which seemed to conceal a strange power that made people afraid to look directly at them.

Driven by evil cultivators, ancient monsters are setting up an array in an attempt to break the seal beneath the deep pit.

Just then, a tall man in black robes slowly rose from the deep pit. His figure was shrouded in black mist, with a strange smile on his face and a terrifying aura emanating from him.

With a wave of his hands, a large amount of black spiritual energy transformed into sharp blades that roared towards the crowd.

Elder Hanshan acted swiftly, wielding his long whip to shatter all the black blades.

Si Lingle and Su Jin from the Loose Cultivator Alliance simultaneously charged towards the black-robed man, their longswords and ice blades clashing, unleashing a series of fierce attacks. However, the black-robed man's strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators; each of his counterattacks carried terrifying power, causing the two to experience a surge of qi and blood.

At the same time, the ancient demonic beasts around them also launched their attacks. There was the gigantic Azure Sea Ape, which possessed immense strength and could create a gust of wind with each swing; and there was the extremely fast Shadow Fox, which appeared and disappeared unpredictably, making it impossible to defend against.

Zizhen and the others did not back down. They cooperated with each other and, relying on the skills they had learned in their world and the knowledge passed down by their sects in the ancient times, they engaged in a fierce battle with the ancient monsters and the black-robed man.

Qingxuan Sect's Zi Hui circulated his spiritual power, unleashing powerful spells that shot beams of light towards the ancient demonic beasts; while the rogue cultivator alliance's Su Jin wielded an ice blade, transforming into a streak of cold light as she weaved through the demonic beast horde, delivering fatal blows to them.

The battle lasted a long time, and everyone made tremendous efforts.

During the battle, they continuously learned and grew, gradually figuring out the attack methods and weaknesses of the ancient monsters.

Dao Hui of the Heavenly Sword Sect discovered that although the Azure Sea Ape was powerful, it was relatively slow. So he skillfully dodged its attacks and looked for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. Lu Yang of the Azure Profound Sect took advantage of the Shadow Demon Fox's fast speed but relatively weak defense, using earth magic to restrict its movements before attacking.

Si Lingyue and Jiu Jiu teamed up to engage in a fierce battle with the man in black robes.

After a fierce battle, they finally managed to defeat the ancient monsters and the man in black robes, temporarily relieving the crisis.

After returning to the sect, Si Lingyue and the others gathered together to discuss the day's battle.

The cultivators of this ancient era possessed extremely powerful supernatural abilities and spells; even those at the Nascent Soul stage had mastered them.

In their world, very few people at the Nascent Soul stage can master supernatural powers; almost all of them can only do so at the Out-of-Body stage or above.

The black-robed man that Si Lingle fought today possessed two supernatural abilities. If it weren't for Jiu Jiu's cooperation, Si Lingle might not have been able to kill him.

This ancient world possesses a purer and more complete cultivation tradition, or perhaps it is because cultivators of this period have fewer distracting thoughts and are more likely to reach the state of selflessness and detachment required for cultivation, thus making it more conducive to successful cultivation.

What they need to do now is to work hard to cultivate supernatural powers.

Si Lingle and the others went to ask the elders of the Changsheng Sect for leave.

These elders shared with them how they cultivated supernatural powers.

Everyone develops supernatural abilities differently, and it also depends on their own understanding.

However, Si Lingle concluded that it was more because she encountered a crisis that she gained supernatural powers.
