Chapter 279 Main Hall
On the third floor of the Alchemy Palace, Xiao Yun went in and out of the various alchemy rooms, but he did not see the second alchemy beast. He only found a few volumes of ancient elixir recipes. After a quick glance, he discovered that they were all eighth-grade a harvest made him happy. For an eighth-grade alchemy master like him, its value was even greater than the previous snow-white beast.
After all, as for the elixir beast, even if he had bad luck, Xiao Yun could make one after working hard for a month and a half. But the same could not be said for the ancient eighth-grade elixir recipe, which was something that could increase the knowledge of an alchemist.
After touring almost the entire Alchemy Palace, Xiao Yun returned to the Alchemy Room where the three women were. Seeing that the three women were still teasing the Alchemy Beast, he couldn't help but be speechless.
"Okay, put the Dan beast away. I have searched this place thoroughly. Let's go to the main hall and see what's going on there."
Hearing this, the three women nodded. Medusa stroked the snow-white beast's head reluctantly before putting it into the ring.
Then, the group walked down to the third floor. At this moment, the Alchemy Hall had been basically completely looted. The strong men who were on the second and first floors, seeing Xiao Yun and his group coming down, were blinded by the benefits and wanted to rob them.
As a result, a few more corpses appeared in the hall, so Xiao Yun and others walked out of the Dan Hall and continued to go deeper.
Since the main hall deep in the ruins did not store any medicinal herbs or elixirs, Zi Yan's sensing ability became useless, so they had no choice but to go around in circles and go deeper into the main hall of the ruins.
The complexity of the ancient ruins was far beyond Xiao Yun's imagination. Even though he had a heavenly soul and asked others for advice, he still rushed through the passage for more than half an hour before he arrived in front of an ancient hall.
The entire hall is copper-yellow in color. The passage of countless years has made this copper-yellow color become even deeper. Even if they are thousands of feet away, people can still feel an ancient and solemn atmosphere from it.
"This should be the deepest part of the ruins, right?"
"Yes, that's right..." Xiao Yun nodded slowly, looking into the distance, seeing the scene through the gap in the door, and confirmed.
"Then let's go in quickly! After we help that old man get the fighting skills, we can go back to Dragon Island!"
Then, everyone flashed and instantly crossed a distance of a thousand feet and entered this ancient hall.
The area of the hall is much larger than the ones encountered before. People in it are like ants. In the center of the hall, there are ten huge balls of light.
A ball of light was suspended in the air, and a layer of light curtain fell down, covering the most central area. Through the dazzling light, one could faintly see something like a scroll.
"Are those in that ball of light the Heaven-level fighting skills? There are actually as many as ten of them?"
After Xiao Yun and his group entered the hall, their eyes stayed on the light balls. After discovering that there were as many as ten light balls, Qing Lin, who had the lowest cultivation level and the least experience, exclaimed in a low voice.
"It should be a sleight of hand. Heaven-level fighting skills are not cabbages on the roadside. Except for those inherited from the family, it is extremely rare for an ordinary fighting saint to have three of them..." Zi Yan shook her head to deny it, and Medusa nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yun, who knew the inside story, did not participate in the three women's speculation and discussion. After casually scanning the light balls, his eyes moved downwards, locking onto the area below the ten light balls.
There was a stone seat, and on top of it was a jade-white skeleton, with its hands forming seals and sitting cross-legged...
The powerful Fighting Saint is truly so terrifying!
Looking at the skeleton, Xiao Yun sighed in his heart. The Saint of Creation was an ancient figure who knew how many years ago he lived. Even though he had been dead for so long, his corpse was still extremely solid.
If it was another Dou Zun who passed away here, after countless years, I'm afraid not even his bones would be left, not to mention that he would be able to mobilize his Dou Qi, display his fighting skills, and fight with several Dou Zun strongmen.
"Saint, now I am only one step away!"
Xiao Yun secretly thought that as long as he compressed all his Dou Qi one more time, he would be able to break through to the Semi-Saint realm. However, the Semi-Saint realm was only a transitional realm, and breaking through to the Dou Saint realm was only a matter of time.
"Is this the skeleton of the owner of the ruins? A powerful Fighting Saint..." The three women also noticed the skeleton on the stone base. When they looked at it, an invisible pressure quietly lingered in their hearts, which made them startled.
Although the saint has fallen, his remaining power still exists!
Then, everyone's eyes shifted and began to look around the hall.
At this moment, many forces have already arrived at the depths of the hall ahead of them, and each of them has an extremely powerful aura. A rough glance reveals that there are actually hundreds of Dou Zuns!
When Xiao Yun and others were looking at everyone, everyone else did the same, looking over. After realizing how powerful Xiao Yun and his group were, they became extremely alert.
"Hehe..." Xiao Yun did not pay much attention to the gazes of this group of people. After determining the location of the people from Fenyan Valley, he walked straight towards there.
"Xiao..." Tang Zhen had already noticed Xiao Yun and his party when they just entered the hall. Now seeing them coming, he was about to say hello, but suddenly he remembered the previous instructions.
"Venerable Huoyang, you are finally here. I was worried that you would miss this great show..."
Tang Zhen led several elders from the Burning Flame Valley over and said to Xiao Yun with a smile, "The seal here is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid it will completely dissipate after some time..."
"I was delayed for some time in front..." Xiao Yun smiled, and a hoarse voice came out from under the black robe, saying: "Valley Master Tang, this heaven-level fighting skill is not easy to snatch..."
“It’s really not easy to rob. There were rumors outside that there should be ancient dragon heritage in these ruins, but we have been moving forward, let alone the ancient dragon heritage, and we haven’t even seen the shadow of the dragon clan!
Even in the main hall, there are only these ten light balls, and I estimate that it should be a trick, only one of them is real! "Hearing this, Tang Zhen nodded slowly and sighed softly. Because there is a dragon barrier outside the ruins, people outside all think that this Dousheng ruins is related to the mysterious Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, which has attracted many forces and lone rangers.
But after searching all the ruins, they found that this was not the case. If there were only heavenly-level fighting skills, the number of Dou Zun powerful warriors who came here would definitely not reach the terrifying number of hundreds!
The difficulty of competing for a heavenly-grade fighting skill among a dozen Dou Zuns is completely different from that of competing for a heavenly-grade fighting skill among more than a hundred Dou Zuns.
"It's not that there is no dragon heritage, it's just hidden too deep, so you didn't see it..."
Xiao Yun smiled at Tang Zhen's complaint but did not say anything. The value of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit could not be compared to that even if the relic and a hundred Dou Zuns were sold together.
This is a treasure that can make one a top fighting saint!
"Venerable Huoyang, in your opinion, which of these ten light balls is the real heaven-level fighting skill?"
After a while of complaining, Tang Zhen felt much better. He started to think about business again and asked Xiao Yun.
'All ten are fake!'
Hearing this, although Xiao Yun knew the inside story, he still had to pretend on the surface. He released some soul power, sensed for a moment, and slowly shook his head.
"This seal was placed by a Dou Sheng master, isolating all senses. With my senses, I can't see through it."
"Okay..." Tang Zhen did not doubt what Xiao Yun said, and sighed softly: "In fact, it is useless to see through it. There are good and bad people here, and everyone is eyeing the sky-level fighting skills.
Even if we get it, it’s still a hot potato, more like a death warrant.”
Xiao Yun nodded, and then turned his gaze to the sculpture-like puppets around the stone seat, "This puppet is quite good, much stronger than the previous earth demon puppet. I estimate that each of them has the strength of Dou Zun level."
"Even a dozen Dou Zun can't protect it... Haha, I guess the owner of this ruins didn't expect that there would be hundreds of Dou Zun powerful men coming here." Tang Zhen stroked his beard and shook his head.
……
After communicating with Tang Zhen, Xiao Yun and his party sat down cross-legged, silently waiting for the seal to be lifted.
While waiting for the seal to disappear, new forces or strong men kept arriving here. The increasing number of strong men made the atmosphere here more and more tense.
In the end, even this extremely vast hall became a bit crowded, with each force or lone ranger only a thousand meters apart.
A distance of a thousand meters is just a moment for everyone, so many people have been secretly circulating their internal fighting spirit, ready to unleash astonishing lethality once any disturbance occurs.
Everyone knows that once the seal is completely dissipated, an extremely bloody melee will break out among everyone for the heavenly level fighting skills.
In response to this, Xiao Yun frowned slightly, asked everyone to gather around him, and then communicated through their souls.
"After the seal dissipates, don't fight for the ball of light. In my opinion, there is something wrong with the Fighting Saint's skeleton..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then turned their gaze to the jade-like skeleton. Although they did not see anything strange, they still nodded silently.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yun, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ball of light floating in the air.
At this moment, the light emitted by those light balls is becoming weaker and weaker.
"The seal is about to dissipate. Be alert and don't let others attack you..."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and quickly circulated their internal fighting spirit. Just when they were ready, the ten balls of light suddenly shook violently and burst into dazzling light.
As the light spread, the sound of breaking wind continued to be heard, and the scrolls originally in the light ball also turned into streams of light, which rushed out violently and ran around in the hall.
The scroll flew out, and the whole hall instantly became boiling. Countless people's eyes were red, their bodies were filled with fighting spirit, and they stared at the flying light.
At the same time, the puppets that had been like sculptures before suddenly opened their eyes that had been closed for countless years with a teeth-grinding friction sound, and an extremely terrifying murderous intent enveloped the area.
"The Heaven-level fighting skill has been revealed! Come grab it!"
In the extremely silent hall, someone shouted something, and as if a chain reaction had occurred, countless voices rang out at the same time, and powerful fighting spirits burst out, transforming into huge fighting spirit hands, grabbing towards the stream of light in the air.
The situation got out of control in an instant, and many people in the crowd, under the pretext of stealing fighting skills, secretly used fighting skills on their enemies.
Suddenly, colorful fighting spirits shone in the hall, overwhelming figures swept against each other, blood spilled into the sky, and from time to time a figure would fall from mid-air.
