Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 461 Clues Emerge and the Search for Mysterious Ruins

Back at Lingxiao Pavilion, Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli fell into deep thought. The black sphere in the black-robed man's hand had exploded, leaving behind extremely strange fluctuations of dark spiritual energy in the air, unlike anything they had encountered before. Zhang Peng circulated his late-stage Nascent Soul stage Chaos Law power, attempting to analyze the hidden information within this energy fluctuation, but with little success.

“This dark spiritual power seems to be enveloped by some special law. With my current understanding of the laws of chaos, I find it difficult to see through it for the time being.” Zhang Peng frowned slightly, a solemn expression on his face.

Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly, its blade trembling slightly as if responding to its master's inner unease. "Whatever their schemes, we cannot sit idly by and wait to die. We must find what they are looking for as soon as possible to gain the upper hand."

Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute, her nimble fingers lightly tapping the body as she fell into deep thought. "I'm wondering if what the man in black robes is searching for in the town is related to some ancient legend? Perhaps we can find clues in the ancient books of Lingxiao Pavilion."

The three immediately went to the library of Lingxiao Pavilion, which housed countless ancient texts of the cultivation world, ranging from cultivation techniques to anecdotes and legends. They began to peruse the ancient books, hoping to find clues related to the actions of the man in black robes.

After searching through countless ancient books for three whole days, Liu Ruoli finally found some clues in a tattered old book. "Look, this ancient book records a mysterious ruin. It is said that a great battle took place there long ago, and after the battle, a treasure with great power was hidden in the ruin. Moreover, the ancient book mentions that the location of the ruin seems to be near the town where we found the black-robed man."

Zhang Peng and Murong Yu quickly moved closer to carefully read the records in the ancient book. The book depicted a blurry map, marking a remote valley with an ancient building faintly visible within.

"It seems that this ruin is likely the key. We must go and explore it as soon as possible," Zhang Peng said.

The three gathered their necessary items and left Lingxiao Pavilion, flying towards the valley described in the ancient texts. Along the way, they proceeded cautiously, constantly alert to their surroundings. When they arrived at the valley, they found it permeated with a mysterious aura; the valley was shrouded in mist, obscuring its interior.

Zhang Peng channeled his late-stage Nascent Soul realm spiritual sense, attempting to penetrate the clouds and locate the ruins. However, the moment his spiritual sense touched the clouds, it was repelled by a powerful force. "These clouds are strange; they seem to be protected by some kind of powerful restriction."

Murong Yu drew his Chaos Breeze Sword, unleashing a torrent of sword energy in an attempt to dispel the clouds and mist. However, once the sword energy entered the clouds and mist, it vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves shot towards the clouds like sharp blades. However, the sound waves were also absorbed by the clouds and had no effect.

“It seems that conventional methods won’t work.” After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Peng cast the “Chaos Law Insight Technique,” ​​a spell he created through a deep understanding of the Chaos Law, which allows him to perceive the essence of all things in the world.

As the power of the Chaos Laws circulated, Zhang Peng gradually discovered the flaws in the restrictions within the clouds. He concentrated his mind and channeled the power of the Chaos Laws into the flaws, and the clouds began to slowly dissipate.

When the clouds and mist completely dissipated, an ancient and dilapidated ruin appeared before them. The ruin's gate was tightly shut, covered with strange runes, exuding a mysterious aura.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully examined the runes, discovering that they were remarkably similar to an ancient script recorded in ancient texts. He used the power of the Chaos Law to decipher the meaning of these runes.

"These runes record the method to enter the ruins, which requires us to activate the magic array on the door with specific spiritual energy fluctuations," Zhang Peng said.

He channeled the chaotic law power of his late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and following the guidance of the runes, condensed a ball of five-colored spiritual energy in his hand. As he poured the spiritual energy into the door, the runes on the door shone brightly, and the door slowly opened, releasing an ancient and mysterious aura.

The three cautiously entered the ruins. The interior was dark and damp, filled with a putrid smell. Suddenly, a massive stone gate appeared before them, with a huge rune pattern carved on it, radiating powerful spiritual energy.

Murong Yu stepped forward, attempting to push open the stone door, but found it wouldn't budge. "This stone door is sealed by a powerful restriction; how can we open it?"

Zhang Peng carefully observed the runes on the stone gate and discovered that they were related to the runes he had deciphered before. He concentrated his mind, used the power of the Chaos Law, and poured spiritual energy into the stone gate according to the rules of the runes.

As spiritual energy was infused, the runes on the stone door gradually lit up, and the stone door slowly trembled, emitting a muffled sound. Just as the stone door was about to open, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from within the ruins.

"Want to break the seal? Not so easy!" A phantom figure slowly emerged, exuding a chilling aura, holding a scythe that emitted a blue light.

"Another guardian spirit!" Liu Ruoli exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He knew that a new battle was about to begin, and behind this stone door might lie the key to unraveling the black-robed man's conspiracy...
