Throne of Seals: The God of Magic Descends, the Demonic Tide Breaks at Dawn

Chapter 99 Emerging from Seclusion! News of Ancient Ruins?

For the next period of time, Lin Ye kept going back and forth between the Star Marrow Pool and the Tower of Eternity.

There is almost no time to sleep or rest.

Fortunately, Electrolux possessed a secret technique that could increase Lin Ye's mental strength and alleviate his fatigue.

That's why I didn't collapse from exhaustion.

However, this kind of ascetic practice still has a great positive feedback.

This is especially true for a prodigy like Lin Ye who cultivates extremely quickly.

Even the genius Electrolux of that glorious era couldn't help but gasp in amazement upon seeing it.

"This child is terrifying!"

……

Time flies, and a year has passed.

Lin Ye returned to the Temple Square, looking at the dazzling sunlight on the horizon, and was filled with emotion.

"Did you know? Recently, Palace Master Li discovered an ancient ruin. Unfortunately, it's too dangerous inside, and those below the eighth rank are not allowed to participate."

"I know, the news has spread throughout the entire Magic Temple, but unfortunately I'm only at the sixth rank..."

"Kid, what's up? You've been quiet for so long, how about giving it a try?"

Lin Ye listened to Electrolux's teasing and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Of course, I've already reached the eighth level, so naturally I have to try this ancient ruin."

As Lin Ye walked through the temple corridor, the moonstones embedded in the pillars suddenly lit up all at once.

These crystals, capable of sensing magical fluctuations, were now shimmering with a soft glow as he moved.

This is a privilege unique to eighth-tier powerhouses; even when he first entered the Holy Temple, he had never seen such a sight.

The scent of sandalwood mixed with the aroma of magical ink wafted through the main hall, where Li Zhengzhi was sitting at a pearwood desk reading magical books.

Upon hearing footsteps, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes softened as he looked up.

"You've come? It seems you've heard those rumors too?"

As Lin Ye bowed respectfully before the desk, the spiritual energy surrounding him spontaneously formed a semi-transparent barrier, gently repelling the ink stains that had accidentally rubbed against his cuffs.

"Hmm, let me see what kind of ruins require an eighth-level player to access."

Li Zhengzhi put down his quill pen, lightly tapped the dossier with his fingertip, and the parchment page containing information about the ruins flew automatically to Lin Ye.

Next to the outline of the mountain range drawn on the paper, there were several runes flashing red, but there were far fewer danger signs than in the previous record.

"When you were in seclusion, I guessed that you would be interested in this place after your breakthrough."

Li Zhengzhi's eyes were full of relief. "This ruin has spatial attributes, but unfortunately it is fraught with danger. However, I think it is the most suitable for you."

He had witnessed Lin Ye's spatial magic, and it was safe to say that even the veteran spatial mages of the Magic Temple might not be as strong as Lin Ye!
Lin Ye traced the canyon pattern on the parchment with his fingertips, and the red runes suddenly turned into points of light and merged into his palm.

"Really? I'll definitely bring back good news."

He could feel the gentle spiritual energy his teacher had left on the file.

Li Zhengzhi took a bronze token from the bookshelf. The cloud patterns on the token's surface suddenly came to life and began to move when it came into contact with Lin Ye's aura.

"This is a pass, which can activate the elemental barrier surrounding the ruins."

He placed the token in Lin Ye's palm and gently tapped the back of the boy's hand with his fingertips.

"be careful."

As Lin Ye stood up, gripping the token tightly, the clear sound of wind chimes suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Don't worry, there is nothing in this world that can pose a threat to me."

Li Zhengzhi looked at Lin Ye's confident appearance and shook his head helplessly.

"You're always so confident, I won't keep you any longer. You must be getting impatient, right?" Lin Ye scratched his head and said apologetically, "Haha~ I'm off then."

Li Zhengzhi picked up the quill pen again, his voice tinged with laughter, "Remember to bring back some rare materials; your divine weapon is almost finished."

"A divine artifact..."

Lin Ye suddenly remembered the Demon God Pillar he had shattered at Zhennan Pass a year ago, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"In two more years, my own divine artifact will be born."

With this thought in mind, Lin Ye quickened his pace.

……

"Is this the ancient ruins?"

Lin Ye's boots made a crisp echo as they stepped onto the obsidian floor at the entrance to the ruins.

The bronze token felt hot in his palm, and the moving cloud patterns suddenly broke free from the token's restraints, transforming into translucent ribbons of light that wrapped around his wrist.

The moment the light touched the rock face, the entire mountainside suddenly trembled, and the moss-covered boulders seemed to come alive, caved inward, revealing a bottomless passage.

The passageway was inlaid with breathing, deep blue crystals, whose light flickered with his steps.

Lin Ye could sense a rich spatial element permeating the air, three times purer than the ancient records in the Holy Temple's library!

He tried to release a wisp of silver spiritual energy, and the floating specks of light immediately gathered as if drawn by a force, condensing into a palm-sized butterfly of light on his shoulder.

"Click——"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of gears turning beneath my feet.

Lin Ye lightly touched the ground with his toes, and with the support of the wind element, his body floated backward about ten feet like a willow catkin, and the place where he was originally standing was cracked with spider web-like gaps.

A pale silver mist welled up from the crevice, and upon landing, it transformed into countless tiny spatial blades, cutting dense, shallow marks into the rock wall.

"interesting."

He raised the corners of his lips slightly and drew a semicircle in the air with his fingertips.

The silver spiritual energy suddenly exploded, forming a rotating barrier that engulfed all the mist.

The moment those spatial blades struck the barrier, they vanished without a trace, like water droplets merging into the ocean.

This was the Space Devouring Technique he had comprehended after breaking through to the eighth rank, and it was surprisingly useful in this ruin.

"It seems that this thing has even greater potential for development."

Lin Ye recalled the scene from before, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

As time passed, Lin Ye noticed that the light at the end of the passage was getting brighter and brighter, and he could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

Lin Ye's pupils contracted slightly as he passed through the last stone gate:
Before them stood a crystal palace suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a silvery-white river that murmured magical melodies as it rushed about.

He noticed that the palace gates were carved with patterns similar to those on the Demon God Pillar, only the lines were more ancient and vigorous.

When the light strip on the wrist touched the door knocker, the patterns suddenly lit up with red light, projecting a three-dimensional star map onto the ground.

The star map has a diamond-shaped gap in the center, just big enough to fit a crystal the size of a fist.

"Do we need to find the corresponding Star Core?"

Lin Ye crouched down to study the star map. Just as his fingertips touched the pattern of one of the stars, the entire palace suddenly began to shake violently.

"Boom——!!"

The roar of falling rocks came from above. He looked up and saw dozens of huge rocks the size of millstones crashing down from the dome, and each rock was burning with raging flames!

Suddenly, the light butterfly fluttered its wings rapidly on his shoulder.

Silver light shimmered continuously on Lin Ye's shoulder.

"Ring ring~~~!!"
