After saying that, he reached out and rubbed Zi Yan's head again, with an even more intense smile on his face. He said jokingly, "Since you think from the bottom of your heart that there are no ancient ruins here, if you really find any later, you are not allowed to think about getting benefits from them. Then you can only watch us collect the treasures."
"No, no, how can you do this?" Hearing Xiao Ling's teasing, Zi Yan immediately pouted her lips, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and expressed her protest with a look of grievance.
She was bored to death from rushing all the way. She finally arrived at the place, but if there was really a treasure but she was not allowed to take it, she would be very depressed.
Seeing Zi Yan's expression, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle, and then stopped teasing her. He turned to the four girls and said seriously:
"Next, let's split up and explore the surrounding area to see if there is any abnormal space here. Do you understand?"
After a pause, he solemnly warned: "Once you find any clues, notify the others immediately and quickly gather together. Don't act alone. After all, there are many strange things in this place, so we have to be cautious."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, several people looked at each other, and then exchanged glances tacitly.
Then, they each used their best skills, and their bodies turned into several streams of light, flying towards different directions of the Skeleton Mountain Range.
While flying, they all activated their own spatial forces, released their perceptions, and began to concentrate on carefully exploring the surrounding space, not missing any corner that might contain any abnormalities.
After all, Zi Yan was born in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and her control over the power of space has already reached a superb level. No matter how subtle or hidden the spatial anomaly is, as long as it appears within her perception range, it will be difficult to escape her detection and will be captured by her keen eyes.
The other three women should not be underestimated either.
Each of them has at least Dou Zun level of cultivation, and in the process of daily cultivation, they have also learned and mastered the power of space.
Although he is not as proficient as Zi Yan, if he explores carefully in this Skeleton Mountain Range, he is able to sense possible abnormal spaces with his own abilities.
In this way, the dispersion of these people gave the exploration operation a greater chance of success.
Seeing that the four people had already taken quick action, Xiao Ling naturally did not want to delay and immediately rushed towards another empty space. As soon as he arrived, he immediately activated his own means and concentrated on exploring the surrounding space.
Xiao Ling already had an impressive cultivation level, not to mention that he had previously merged with the Meteor Tears, which enabled him to master the power of space far beyond that of practitioners of the same level.
And now, he has made a breakthrough from the realm of Talisman Master to the realm of Talisman Master in one fell swoop, and has also obtained the help of his natal talisman which is a copy of the ancestor talisman of space.
With all these blessings, Xiao Ling's mastery of the power of space is perhaps even better than Zi Yan, who is a member of the Taixu ancient dragon clan and has extremely powerful control over the power of space. It can be seen that his attainments in this area have already reached a very high level.
Xiao Ling's figure was as fast as lightning. He kept flying within the Skeleton Mountain Range, and used his understanding of the power of space to continuously release his power of perception. He carefully explored every inch of the surrounding space, not missing any signs of possible abnormality.
The majestic Rayquaza, however, seemed extremely relaxed at the moment. It followed Xiao Ling at a leisurely pace, its slender and huge body drawing graceful arcs in the air, and occasionally spun around in the air leisurely, looking very relaxed.
Seeing Rayquaza's leisurely appearance, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling angry and amused at the same time. He glared at it unhappily and then opened his mouth to order:
"Alright, alright, stop wandering around here. Go and help us keep watch around the Skeleton Mountain Range. But you must be alert and don't let others notice what's going on here. Do you understand?"
After all, if Xiao Ling and his companions are lucky enough to find the space where the ancient ruins are located in advance and want to force it open, the noise will be huge and may attract the attention of the outside world.
But it’s different with Rayquaza on guard around the Skeleton Mountain. After all, it’s a genuine eighth-level monster with extremely sharp senses.
Once there is any movement outside, it will be able to detect it the first time and then inform Xiao Ling and the others.
Besides, even if the commotion gets out of hand later, those who come to gather information are at most advance soldiers. With Rayquaza's strength, it is more than enough to deal with it. There will be no major danger at all, and it can also greatly delay the time for other forces to confirm the news and send their main personnel.
In this way, Xiao Ling and his friends can explore the ancient ruins with greater peace of mind.
After hearing Xiao Ling's order, Rayquaza slowly turned around and hummed softly, which seemed to reveal a bit of grievance and reluctance in his voice.
It was worried that it had been traveling non-stop and had finally arrived here, but it hadn't had a good rest yet. It had just relaxed for a short while and now it was being sent out to work.
These days are much more tiring than when it was the king of the Tianxing Mountains.
Although it was somewhat reluctant in its heart, Rayquaza naturally did not dare to disobey Xiao Ling's order and always followed it obediently. It responded softly, and then its huge body twisted flexibly and flew quickly towards the direction of the clouds above.
You know, the clouds high in the sky are its home ground. There, it can cleverly hide its whereabouts by cover of clouds and fog to avoid being easily discovered by others, and it can also rely on its excellent vision to take in the surrounding situation. This way, it is indeed more conducive to it to keep watch around the Skeleton Mountain Range.
In this Central Plains, Rayquaza is a very recognizable existence. After all, its unique appearance is unique in the Douqi Continent. As long as it is seen by someone, those who have a little experience will definitely recognize it at once. This is the powerful magic beast companion that often accompanies Xiao Ling.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary for it to hide its tracks.
Even when dealing with those who come to gather information, it cannot show up at will. It can only use remote means to interfere and make the other party retreat.
But if there is really no other way and it has to show up, then in order to avoid the risk of news leaking out, it may have to be ruthless and kill those people on the spot.
After giving instructions to Rayquaza, Xiao Ling did not stop for a moment and continued to devote himself to the exploration of the Skeleton Mountain Range. While flying, he carefully sensed every subtle change in the surrounding space, not missing any clues, and tried to find the space where the ancient ruins were hidden as soon as possible.
In the following time, Xiao Ling and his companions continued to explore in the Zhahai Ancient Mountain Range. In fact, Xiao Ling and his companions were not the only ones in the Skeleton Mountain Range. There were also many other magical beasts and even some human practitioners coming and going.
Fortunately, the current cultivation level of Xiao Ling and his companions is naturally not comparable to these people. It is easy for them to conceal their own aura.
Because of this, there were no abnormal situations during the exploration process and everything went smoothly.
……
Three days later, on a mountain peak in the Skeleton Mountain Range.
Xiao Ling stood quietly, his black robe rustling in the strong wind. The morning mist spread over the jagged rocks, surging at his feet like the water of the Styx, but it could never stain his ink-black tights in the slightest.
His sight pierced through the hundreds of miles of mist and looked straight ahead into the distance.
As far as his sight could reach, there was a towering tree standing tall, its gnarled roots digging into a thicket of bones, each line of the tree soaked in dark red blood, and the wind and frost of a thousand years had carved countless distorted human faces on its branches. The moment the treetops pierced through the clouds, it seemed to dye the entire sky a dirty dark green.
And where the giant tree is located is a vast basin that is thousands of miles wide.
But now, this basin is no longer what it used to be. It is filled with eerie bones. From a distance, it looks like a sea of bones. The white color is so dazzling that it penetrates into people's eyes.
The midday sun poured down, refracting millions of phosphorescent flames on the surface of the sea of bones. When the phantom blue flames swept past with the wind, a hoarse whimpering sound could be heard faintly, which made people feel a creepy feeling involuntarily.
However, at this moment Xiao Ling did not take this strange scene to heart at all. In his heart, a wave of turmoil that was difficult to calm down had already been stirred up.
Relying on his keen perception of the power of space, Xiao Shan had already made a judgment in his mind.
If my perception is correct, there is a space crack hidden in the center of this basin that looks very strange, and in that crack, there is another space cleverly hidden.
Not only that, Xiao Ling realized that the space was not far from the present world. Even if they had not come to explore it, it would not take long before it would appear in the Skeleton Mountain Range by itself.
How could such an obvious feature escape Xiao Ling's eyes? He was immediately certain that this place was the ancient ruins that they were looking for during this trip.
After realizing where the target was, Xiao Ling immediately released his vast and powerful mental power without hesitation, which quickly spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, he accurately located the position of Xiao Yixiang and the others.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling used the unique "bridge" built by his mental power to quickly convey the good news of finding the ancient ruins to the four of them.
After the four girls received the message from Xiao Ling, they immediately stopped their ongoing search and immediately used their skills to quickly rush towards where Xiao Ling was.
Among the few people, the first one to arrive here was, as expected, Zi Yan, who was from the Taixu ancient dragon clan.
As the void beside Xiao Ling began to ripple slightly, the ripples slowly spread out like circles of dynamic waves. Then, Zi Yan's petite figure lightly jumped out from the void ripples, her figure graceful and neat, and finally landed steadily beside Xiao Ling.
As soon as Zi Yan landed, before she had time to say a few words, she looked in the direction Xiao Ling was looking.
After she looked at him intently for a moment, her expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise involuntarily appeared in her bright eyes.
"Hey, there seems to be a space crack in the basin, and there should be another space hidden in this crack."
At this moment, the figures of the other three women also emerged from the void one after another. They were light and graceful, like three falling petals, and landed steadily on the sides of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. Their gazes also looked in the direction of the basin, with curiosity and exploration in their eyes, obviously they had heard what Zi Yan said before.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling remained calm and chuckled, "Yes, the ancient ruins are in that space. We have finally found our destination after searching all the way here. It really took a lot of effort..."
Chapter 514: Zi Yan Shows Her Power
Looking in the direction Xiao Ling and Zi Yan were looking, the three girls from Xiao Yixian were concentrating on exploring that area.
Medusa and Qing Lin looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. It was obvious that they didn't understand anything. However, Xiao Yixian had a thoughtful look on her face. She must have also noticed the existence of that special space, but of course not as obvious as Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.
"That space is hidden really well. If I didn't know in advance that that was where the space was, I might not have noticed its existence if I hadn't carefully explored it when I passed by."
The Little Medical Fairy withdrew her probing gaze, turned to look at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, chuckled and said:
"However, it shouldn't be that easy to open it. Can you let us in safely?"
"Zi Yan, it's your turn. Do you have the confidence to lead us in?" Xiao Ling smiled slightly, tapped Zi Yan's little face and chuckled.
Although Xiao Ling himself had his own skills and it was not difficult for him to lead a few people in with a little help, he did want to tease Zi Yan.
"You guy, don't look down on me, and don't underestimate the ability of your Miss Zi Yan. My Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's mastery of the power of space is not exaggerated." Zi Yan pouted, slapped Xiao Ling's fingers away, glared at him fiercely, and pretended to be angry.
After saying that, Zi Yan turned her gaze back to the space in front of her. Purple light emanated from her eyes, and even the void around her showed signs of slight fluctuations. It was obvious that she was serious about this.
"Although this space is hidden very deeply, it has already bred many problems. As time goes by, its stability is constantly declining. Now it has reached a point where it can no longer bear the burden, and its intersection with the real world is becoming more and more obvious."
"If things continue like this, it will probably show up on its own in a few months. We are lucky to have found it before then."
After listening to Zi Yan's explanation, several people nodded in agreement. After all, if they really wait until the ancient ruins open by themselves, there will definitely be a lot of noise. By then, it will not be so easy for them to monopolize the treasures in the ancient ruins. They can only watch other forces flock in and divide up the treasures in the ancient ruins.
"Since you speak so logically, it must not be difficult for you to open it. Let's wait and see what you can do." Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly.
"Hmph, a space like this that is about to appear in the world is a piece of cake for me. I can handle it easily. Next, I will let you see for yourself how powerful my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is in the field of space." Zi Yan said, and did not delay any further. She raised her hand, patted her chest, and said with a confident look on her face.
After saying that, Zi Yan immediately gave a light rebuke, and in an instant, endless purple light emanated from her petite body.
As Zi Yan continued to wave her hands, under her orderly control, the purple halos were like a curtain of sky falling from the sky, majestically pouring down towards the void in the center of the basin in front of her.
The scene was like a gorgeous purple waterfall falling in the void, revealing a unique sense of shock.
Under the reflection of this purple light, the originally clear and transparent void actually changed little by little, and ripples appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of faint sky, like a huge door, slowly emerged from the void and appeared in front of Xiao Ling and others.
It seemed extremely illusory, as if it would break at the slightest touch, but in fact, the heavy and vast aura was almost overwhelming, and even the most powerful Little Medical Fairy felt a slight sense of oppression.
Of course, Zi Yan is unable to open this illusory door with her current ability. After all, it was opened by the Fighting Saint. The Fighting Saint is already able to open up a small world, and his realm and strength are far beyond what Zi Yan can compare to now.
What Zi Yan has to do now is just to create a hole in this space so that Xiao Ling and others can pass through.
In fact, if Zi Yan hadn't been thinking about trying not to make the subsequent noise too big, fearing that the noise caused by the ancient ruins would attract the attention of other forces around it, and thus interfere with Xiao Ling and others' treasure hunting.
With Zi Yan's ability, she doesn't have to worry about so many complicated things. Even if she just rushes into that space, it will be easy and no problem at all. It is not a difficult task at all.
Just as Zi Yan's mind moved, a purple dragon pattern on the back of her delicate and small hands suddenly flashed with light.
Then, accompanied by a purple halo slowly spreading out, a pair of boxing gloves gradually emerged from the back of her hands. They were hazy and illusory at first, and then turned from virtual to real in the blink of an eye, and gathered steadily on Zi Yan's hands, fitting perfectly with her hands.
"Buzzing..."
As the boxing gloves slowly emerged, Zi Yan's eyes instantly became more focused. There seemed to be a light flickering in her clear eyes, revealing a seriousness that should not be underestimated.
Then, she waved her hands violently, and in an instant, a bright silver spatial force emanated from her palms, flickering faintly in the air, as if trying to break through the shackles of this world.
"Crash!"
Following Zi Yan's action, the space suddenly began to twist violently, making a sound like a rushing water.
As the sound continued to spread, faint ripples began to appear on the sky, spreading out in circles, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but narrow his eyes and stare closely at the increasingly distorted sky. Amidst the strange rustling sound, he keenly felt an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation.
This wave seemed extremely violent, just like a volcano that had been suppressed under the earth's crust for a long time, accumulating strength and giving a strong feeling that it was about to erupt wildly.
"Come out!" Zi Yan shouted tenderly, and purple light instantly shone from her body. Under the shining purple light, even the sky above was faintly dyed with a hint of light purple.
