Chapter 1074 - 963: Ancient Ruins

The thing that shocked the Divine World Martial Artists the most was that, after obtaining permission from the big figures of the Black Hole World, they discovered that there were many Ancient Ruins within the Black Hole World.All signs indicated that those Ancient Ruins were sites from the Divine World or the Immortal Domain.

Although the big figures of the Black Hole World were eager to enter those Ancient Ruins to seek treasures, they were disappointed to find that the strong Forbidden Power within those ruins blocked their way.

In the past, there was once a big figure of the Black Hole World who sent a group of subordinates into one of the Ancient Ruins, but they vanished without a trace, disappearing completely from the Black Hole World.

The other big figures of the Black Hole World speculated that the adventuring big figure and his subordinates were likely all killed within the Ancient Ruins, which made them wary of venturing into those ruins.

Furthermore, those Ancient Ruins were often located within the interior of the Black Hole World, where the combat power of the Divine World Martial Artists would drop to less than twenty percent of what it was outside.

Consequently, the Divine World Martial Artists refrained from venturing into the interior of the Black Hole World, and thus, their knowledge about those Ancient Ruins was very limited.

However, with the emergence of the Otherworld, the Rule Power of the Ancient Ruins was altered, allowing both the demons of the Black Hole World and the Divine World Martial Artists to enter them.

Although there were no living creatures within the Ancient Ruins, all kinds of unforeseen events could occur inside them.

For instance, a demigod realm Martial Artist from the Divine World stepped on a trap in one of the ruins and died.

The big figures of the Divine World decided not to send highly cultivated Martial Artists to such quests and instead entrusted Martial Saints with these missions.

The Divine World assembled many indigenous people and Ascension Academy disciples to venture into different Ancient Ruins on expeditions.

The disciples of Ascension Academy suddenly found themselves with many missions offering rich rewards. Simultaneously, the Ascension Academy Elders issued an announcement setting up a new points system.

This points system encouraged Ascension Academy disciples to venture into those Ancient Ruins, where they could exchange any treasures found for points with the elders.

Once the exchanged points reached a certain threshold, they could skip the year's assessments.

As soon as this news spread, many disciples who had little hope of remaining at Ascension Academy suddenly became very excited, as if they were invigorated.

The big figures of the Divine World feared the demons of the Black Hole World might contest them for the treasures within the Ancient Ruins, so they invested significantly to set up Teleportation Arrays near those ruins.

Additionally, they conducted basic investigations of those Ancient Ruins and decided to allow some Divine World indigenous people and Ascension Academy disciples, as well as some Martial Saints from the thirty thousand Small Planes, to venture inside together.

Soon, the entire Ascension Academy was bustling with disciples proclaiming team-ups for treasure hunting.

The disciples knew that venturing into Ancient Ruins was, in fact, a very dangerous endeavor.

But if they could find treasures within them, it would be worth the risk.

Especially since the Ascension Academy Elders had made public the information about those ruins, allowing the disciples to choose which one to venture into.

The majority of Ascension Academy disciples chose to start with the low-risk Ancient Ruins to test their skills and planned to attempt the more dangerous ones after completing several low-risk missions.

Amidst this frenzy, Duan Gujin fell into contemplation, pondering over the information he had gathered in his past life.

"In the past life, it wasn't like this; the Divine World didn't discover the Ancient Ruins in the Black Hole World!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered with realization, recalling clearly that during the Otherworld's attack on the Black Hole World, the Divine World was completely unaware.

By the time the Divine World reacted, the Black Hole World had already been entirely destroyed by the Otherworld.

"Presumably, the treasures of those Ancient Ruins were all destroyed by the Otherworld!"

After pondering briefly, Duan Gujin concluded that very few Divine World Martial Artists could have retrieved the treasures from those ruins in the Black Hole World during his past life.

"I suppose I should try my luck in those Ancient Ruins too! But should I team up with others?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered again. After pondering for a while, he decided it would be better to team up for guidance.

"I know little about the Ancient Ruins of the Black Hole World. Venturing there for the first time will be training indeed!"

He immediately went to find Mo Yan to see if he had a team.

Coincidentally, Mo Yan was preparing to team up with others to enter an Ancient Ruin, and they quickly gathered together and reached their destination through the Ascension Academy's Teleportation Array.

The team consisted of seventeen disciples, with Mo Yan as the leader, and they chose a very low-risk Ancient Ruin.

The Divine World Martial Artists had deemed this ruin as low-risk because their Flying Spiritual Beasts hadn't sensed any powerful Demon Beasts or demons there, and they had also discovered quite a few Ancient Ruins in the area.

The reason the Divine World considered the area where Duan Gujin had now arrived as a low-risk Ancient Ruin was that they had not found many Ancient structures there.

Searching the Black Hole World's designated Ancient Ruins, the Divine World dispatched Flying Spiritual Beasts and discovered a pattern.

The stronger the Forbidden Power of some Ancient Ruins, the more abundant the structures within them.

If an Ancient Ruin had weak Forbidden Power, there would be fewer structures in the area.

Therefore, the Divine World Martial Artists categorized areas based on the number of structures and the strength of the Forbidden Power.

A place with many structures and strong Forbidden Power was considered high-risk, often containing many unforeseen Mechanical Traps.

Duan Gujin and the other sixteen ventured into that Ancient Ruin, discovering that they were unable to use Spiritual Power to survey their surroundings.

They could only rely on their eyes to watch their surroundings, which for them, was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task to focus on all movements.

The area they were in was once a Forbidden Land within the Black Hole World. The Rule Power here had changed significantly due to the influence of the Otherworld.

This drastically slowed their exploration of this area.

Yet, they had no choice but to advance step by step.
