THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
188: Always a Step Forward
Jiang Hao was in no hurry to enter the ruins.
The destruction was not safe, and he was not at his peak. He needed to recover his strength before entering the ruins.
He also wanted to wait outside to see if anyone else came out. Lan Feng, in the Golden Core Realm, managed to escape. Perhaps others in the Golden Core Realm could also escape.
If that happened, it would be safe for him, as a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit Realm, to enter destruction.
Jiang Hao did not want to act recklessly. He took a few steps and began to recover his spiritual strength. He would only enter destruction once he reached his full strength.
If inside was too dangerous, he decided to retreat immediately. No need to take unnecessary risks.
Inside the ruins, the sky was vast, and endless ravines surrounded it. There are floating stone platforms and walkways in the gorge. In the middle are two men. They smiled and looked ahead.
“The people from the Heavenly Note Sect are quite smart. One managed to escape, the other one was still hiding,” said the white-haired old man.
They had come to look for Jiang Hao but suddenly ended up here. They wanted to explore the place because they sensed the treasures in this place.
When they entered, they found some people already inside. They follow the group. However, they move too slowly. The two men chase the group and try to get them to work for them.
The group was too rebellious and immediately refused. One of them used the formation to escape, and the other disappeared into the fog. The rest were killed by the two men.
“This place is closed. We have to be careful. After getting the treasure, we still need to find someone, ” said the bearded man.
The two men continued their journey. They had passed through several levels and should have been close to the location where the treasure was hidden.
“Lack is a little weird. I don't know what happens if someone falls into it, ” said the white-haired old man. “We must be careful. Someone from the heavenly Note Sect escaped. I wonder if he will send some strong people towards us.”.
“This area belongs to the Foundation Establishment region. Who is strong enough to come here? Even if one is at the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, we can both overcome it. If the approaching is not the cultivators, we kill it,” said the bearded man with a laugh.
They walk faster.
Right now, on one of the floating streets, Ye Ji walked deeper while gripping his injured arm.
'Damn it! I can sense two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators!' He could not fight the two cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm together. If he had not escaped, he would have already died by now.
'Everyone is dead. If anyone is still alive, I can use it as a distraction. This place needs someone sharp and perceptive. Jiang Hao would be the best person to utilize. With him, I can definitely try and fight. Otherwise, I can use it to distract the cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm and escape.’
Lan Feng had fled. Ye Ji envied him. Sometimes, knowing about different formations is very useful. He sighed and continued to walk further into the ruins. He hoped he could survive.
At night, Ning Xuan and the others rushed to the area surrounded by trees. They felt the presence of many demons.
“There are many Golden Core demons and Primordial Spirits here, which means this is the place we are looking for,” Mu Qi said.
Ning Xuan nodded, but he was confused. “There is no problem with the devil here. Meaning the person in front of us does not pass from here.” “Maybe they went the wrong way?” ask the man who was with them.
"It's hard to say. For now, let's lure the demons out one by one and kill them, ” Ning Xuan said.
With a plan in place, they begin to lure the demons out.
After a long fight, the three of them finally managed to get rid of all those demons. Although it took a while, everything went well.
They saw a wooden house. If they were right, the house contained the reason why the demons were acting strangely.
There was a dead demon on the ground and a stone broke on the table. The power within the stone was weak yet could be seen.
They know that this is the work of the person who is in front of them. He has gone through the defence and reached home easily.
Who exactly is this guy? Ning Xuan took out a stone fragment from the table. That person left no trace, and his strength seemed to far exceed their strength.
Mu Qi and the other man shook their heads. They don't understand.
"Let's go back. This stone is our goal. Since the person who came here didn't bring it, it's ours now,” Ning Xuan said.
Mu Qi and the other men did not mind his suggestion. If they take credit for this, they can earn a lot of profits.
However, the mysterious person made them very curious. What exactly is that guy after?
Outside of the ruins, Jiang Hao opened his eyes. He had recovered his strength and energy completely.
No one has been out of the rubble all this time. He approached the entrance and made sure the Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman was functioning properly.
If he faced danger, he could use the talisman to escape.
The entrance is a staircase that descends into total darkness. He walked 636 steps before reaching the bottom.
At the bottom, there was a faint glow of starlight. The place was empty, with an infinite abyss surrounding it.
Up ahead, there was a floating road and several floating stone platforms. Each stone platform had a trace of formation.
Even on the path, there were formations present. It's unclear what would happen if he touched it. There are also some traps. Some had been triggered, while others were still hidden in the darkness.
'It looks like someone has come here...'
Jiang Hao walked along the safe path. He noticed that it did not stop coming down.
After walking for a while, he saw a corpse. It was a dead man.
Jiang Hao recognized him as one of the early Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who had been in his group when they started towards the core. A trap had killed him.
Jiang Hao shook his head and continued forward.
This time, he did not descend but passed through a large passageway. There are more floating paths and formations.
Sometimes, he found some bodies.
After passing through several checkpoints safely, Jiang 1–1ao arrived in a foggy area. It was so dark that he could barely even see the hand in front of his face.
He slowed down and took the time to try to sense the danger around him.
Finally, he passed through the fog and arrived at a huge floating platform. 'I still haven't seen anyone around here... How deep is this ruin?'
So far, he has not found any treasure. The further he walked, the more he felt an invisible force suppressing him..
