Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 179 Ruins
After entering the ocean world, these monsters will be able to further help An Ling'er control and use of the Sea King Conch.

They can also practice battle formations inside.

Su You was very much looking forward to seeing the strength of these demonic beasts after the war, since the gap between each major realm increased as cultivation progressed.

This cannot be achieved simply by increasing numbers and battle formations.

Just like the Bloodline Legion under Su You's command, once they reach the fifth level of cultivation, the effectiveness of their battle formation will gradually decrease.

Unless he can obtain a more powerful war legacy, he can unleash the legion's full potential.

An Ling'er now possesses such a battle formation, and by gathering only a small number of demonic beasts, it can achieve cross-realm combat, and is even stronger.

The real help came from the conch shell in her hand, which coordinated the power and enabled her to unleash such great strength.

After putting away the monsters, An Ling'er stopped absorbing the surrounding seawater.

“Brother You, I heard from Little Shark that there’s a ruin ahead. Why don’t we go explore it together?” An Ling’er suggested.

So far, the true function of the Sea King Conch has only been tested halfway. Fortunately, she learned from a seventh-tier demon beast that there was a ruin ahead.

That seventh-tier demonic beast came from that ruin.

Su You thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

An Ling'er's strength is increasing step by step, especially with the unsealing of her immortal artifact. Unless she encounters a powerful immortal, she is still very strong at protecting herself.

Moreover, she needs to experience more adventures to mature further.

Although Su You wanted to protect An Ling'er under his wing, her talent was astonishing, and it was virtually impossible for him to surpass her in a short period of time.

If he encounters problems in the future and isn't by An Ling'er's side, she will need to make her own judgment.

With a wave of her hand, An Ling'er summoned a giant white shark that was three thousand miles long and appeared on the sea surface.

This is a peerless demonic beast, the Blood Dragon King Shark, at the peak of the seventh rank. It possesses half dragon blood and, although it does not follow the path of a true dragon, it has combat power comparable to a celestial dragon of the same rank.

"Brother You, we can just go inside the conch shell and wait. We can leave the little shark to scout ahead," An Ling'er suggested.

“That’s good, we can just watch from behind.” Su You nodded in satisfaction, completely agreeing with her opinion.

The decades of travel and teaching I had undertaken were still somewhat useful; I had already learned some of his style.

With the Sea King Conch attached to the back of the Blood Dragon King Shark, Su You and An Ling'er could clearly see everything outside through the void.

"Little Shark, let's go!"

At An Ling'er's command, the Blood Dragon King Shark suddenly swung its tail, and its entire body, like a rocket, transformed into a white streak of light on the seabed.

Despite its enormous size, the Blood Dragon King Shark is surprisingly fast at swimming, and its underwater location even enhances its speed.

In just one hour, they had covered hundreds of thousands of miles.

This was unimaginable before. When Su You was still in Qingzhou in Yun'an Realm, every time he traveled back and forth, the journey of hundreds of thousands of miles would take ten days to half a month.

We will arrive in a matter of moments.

Even with his current level of cultivation, Su You couldn't achieve such speed. In an hour, he could only travel at most tens of thousands of miles.

The Blood Dragon King Shark swam continuously, and after traveling for fifteen days, it finally arrived at its destination.

This is already very deep in the Endless Sea; most cultivators probably wouldn't dare to approach this area.

However, the Blood Dragon King Shark is incredibly powerful, and as long as it's not in the core area of ​​the Endless Sea, it's practically a dominant force.

After all, it has half the bloodline of a true dragon, and its own shark bloodline is no weaker than that of a true dragon. Even if it cannot fight beyond its level, it can still survive under the attack of an eighth-level expert. Moreover, among those of the same level, unless they are true spirit demons with pure bloodlines, there are really no other demons that can defeat it.

Unfortunately, even these powerful beings were powerless to resist the power of immortals and ultimately submitted completely to An Ling'er.

This is a huge, dark canyon. Looking down from above, the massive, hundreds-of-thousands-mile-long fissure is remarkably smooth, as if it had been cleaved open by some unseen force.

In fact, this place is indeed a remnant of a battle between powerful warriors, and even now, a trace of sword energy still lingers above the canyon.

Even with the Blood Dragon King Shark's cultivation level, it had to be extremely careful when flying above, lest it touch the sword energy above.

Although most of the power in this canyon has dissipated over the long years, the remaining amount of power can still damage the Blood Dragon King Shark. While it won't be fatal, being injured will still be painful.

The Blood Dragon King Shark's body gradually shrank, from its initial length of three thousand miles to its final length of two meters.

To expose one's body completely in such a dangerous area is simply courting death.

Fortunately, the Blood Dragon King Shark was already very familiar with this canyon, having been there many times before, and encountered no major setbacks along the way.

When it arrived at a secluded corner deep in the canyon, it saw the destroyed teleportation array on the ground, and the arrays that had been set up around it were also completely destroyed.

This relic teleportation array was extremely well-hidden; it even had arrays set up around it to conceal it, yet it was still discovered.

Although its concealment formation wasn't strong, it was still impossible for someone with ordinary cultivation level to see through it, indicating that the opponent must possess considerable strength.

However, we need to investigate further to determine who or what kind of person or monster they are and what their cultivation level is.

The blood shark swam forward for dozens of miles and took out a white bead from a high, overlooking rocky outcrop.

It poured its demonic power into it, and soon images appeared inside the bead.

The scene shows three men and two women, five cultivators in total. After destroying the outer formation, they entered through the teleportation array and left timed traps outside, which also destroyed the outer teleportation array.

However, it is impossible to determine the cultivation level of these people simply by looking at these images.

After all, the image-recognition bead left by the Blood Shark only has the ability to record images. If it could record the other party's cultivation level, it would probably be easily sensed.

If it were simply a recording of images, without them specifically scanning the area dozens of miles away, deep within the mountains, it would be difficult to discover this bead. Its operation produces almost no fluctuations, making it hard to detect. Seeing this, Blood Shark's face darkened, and he quickly reported, then transmitted the Image Recognition Bead to the ocean world, "Master, other cultivators have entered this ruin, and the ruin's teleportation array has been destroyed. However, to be on the safe side, I prepared in advance and have a temporary teleportation array that can take us there. I wonder if Master would like to use it?"

Su You and An Ling'er viewed the Recognition Pearl together, but were unable to determine their cultivation levels for the time being.

However, it certainly won't be too low, since passing through the canyon crisscrossed by sword energy requires not only amazing luck but also formidable strength.

Blood Shark relied on his own strength to charge ahead recklessly and eventually find a safe path.

Su You thought for a moment and said to An Ling'er, "This time, the decision is up to you."

He didn't believe that the five people in the picture were immortals or beings at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

If that were the case, Blood Shark's Shadow Bead wouldn't have remained undiscovered, and the teleportation array wouldn't have been destroyed.

Therefore, if we enter the ruins this time, survival is definitely not a problem, but whether we can gain anything is another matter.

After thinking for a moment, An Ling'er finally decided, "Brother You, I've decided to take a look. If the opponent is very strong, I can use the Sea Emperor Conch to leave instantly."

"Okay, you can decide this matter." Su You nodded.

In fact, he was also very interested in exploring this ruin. He had heard Blood Shark talk about the ruin before when they were on the road.

That ruin is connected to the true dragon in the teleportation; it's a dragon clan ruin. Blood Shark possesses half of the Heavenly Dragon bloodline, and it was because of a fortuitous encounter within that ruin that he...
Having made the decision, Blood Shark quickly set off. The temporary formation was not set up here, but was located tens of thousands of miles away, where sword energy was dense. Even when Blood Shark passed by, a large amount of flesh and blood was cut off by the sword light.

It's no wonder that it set up the temporary teleportation array here. It would be really difficult for ordinary people to get through. There are no shortcuts in this area; you have to rely on sheer strength to get through.

Furthermore, this temporary formation was not set up on the ground, but underground, hidden by a thick layer of soil. Even if someone scanned it with their divine sense, they might not be able to detect the difference below.

With a gentle shake, the blood shark cleared away a large amount of mud, revealing a mysterious pattern before it.

Blood Shark placed hundreds of top-grade spirit stones on it, directly activating the temporary teleportation array.

As the teleportation array lit up, Blood Shark vanished from its spot. The massive array gradually crumbled after the teleportation ended, rendering it unusable.

……

The remains of a true dragon.

As soon as he was teleported over, Su You saw a vast expanse of lush greenery.

All around were towering, ancient, and wild trees, each thousands of meters tall, some even tens of thousands of meters high.

Although these ancient trees vary in height, they all exude a special feeling: a sense of wildness, profundity, and ancient wilderness.

After observing that there was no danger in the surroundings, An Ling'er and Su Youcai went outside to observe carefully.

Inside the conch shell, although you can still see the outside world, there's always a layer separating you, so it's not very clear.

Just like now, before, inside the Conch Shell, the impression of the outside world was that it was tall and wild.

But as soon as he came out, he felt a vast and profound sense of oppression pressing down on his body, especially his soul, which felt even more terribly suppressed after sensing this aura.

That peculiar feeling, as if an ancient behemoth was lurking right next to you.

"Is this the True Dragon Ruins? It is indeed terrifyingly oppressive." Su You couldn't help but sigh.

Real dragon!

Even the weakest true dragon is a powerful being comparable to the power of a celestial being, and the residual power of it is simply unfathomable.

His cultivation level was the lowest, so he naturally felt it the most deeply. Moreover, he had once refined a dragon ape as his innate talent. Even though he didn't use bloodline power, it still exerted a sense of pressure on his soul.

Blood Shark and An Ling'er, however, were completely unaffected.

Blood Shark is able to adapt to the environment quickly because it has the bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon and has been here many times.

An Ling'er, however, easily resisted the interference of this aura thanks to her own physique and cultivation.

Fortunately, within Su You's sea of ​​consciousness, the World Tree continuously emitted a verdant glow, quickly smoothing out the impact from the outside world.

After An Ling'er released all the demon beasts one by one to adapt to the environment, they returned to the Sea King Conch.

After all, the danger this time comes not only from the True Dragon Ruins themselves, but also from several other cultivators who have entered from the outside world, who are enemies rather than friends.

They can hide, and if their strength is equal, they can launch a surprise attack.

Even if they are stronger than them, and have the advantage of battle formations, they will not be afraid in the slightest.

However, if someone is much stronger than them, hiding behind them can allow them to leave before they are caught up in the chaos.

An Ling'er had already tried leaving this ruin; she could easily leave using the conch shell without worrying about being trapped inside.

It can be said that there are very few things that can trap the Sea King Conch, unless in some special areas or with a very powerful formation, there is only a slight possibility.

The current exploration of this site will follow the same path that Blood Shark took earlier.

After all, it has been here many times, and although it has only developed a small part of it, the help it has provided is immense.

It even helped it break through the bottleneck of its bloodline multiple times, considering that it had been trapped at the sixth level for hundreds of thousands of years.

If it weren't for the unexpected acquisition of the Heavenly Dragon bloodline here, which allowed its own bloodline to evolve and grow after absorption and use, it might not have been able to reach such a height.

However, it only obtained the essence blood of an ordinary celestial dragon, which at most helped it break through the bottleneck of the sixth rank, but could not help it break through the bottleneck of the seventh rank. This is why it was trapped at the peak of the seventh rank.

If it could obtain higher quality Heavenly Dragon Essence Blood, breaking through to the eighth rank would be an easy task for it.

Unfortunately, although the True Dragon Ruins have always been kept in its possession, developing them has not been so easy.
