The Great Ruler Cultivator
Ancient ruins

"Where is this?"

The time had changed the night, Shen Li had healed back the wounds he had sustained.

This time he and Shiu tried to explore the ancient ruins that were there. This place of love was too foreign to him, while the information about the divine realm that Shen Li had obtained was only limited to the general power and information that existed in this divine realm.

It was indeed not in accordance with what he had expected when awakening the memories of the divine realm. But at least it could still be useful to him and could start a new adventure for him.

"Shiu, let's go explore this place."

Shen Li and Shiu walked down the passageway made from the jade wall. Shen Li also felt an extremely strong familiar feeling coming from within the ruins.

After a while had passed, Shen Li came to a room that had a very large door with two statues of fully-armored guards that were very tall and large. There he was just like a helpless ant

"Did you also feel it Shiu? I feel like something that's been bothering me all this time is coming from inside that room."

The moment Shen Li touched the huge door, it suddenly shook like it was receiving a call from its master.

Instantly the door shone displaying an enormous primordial dragon pattern was clearly visible.

While Shen Li who was unaware of what was happening instantly took a considerable step back from that door.

The two enormous guard statues suddenly shook and moved their hands left and right, slowly opening the huge door.

The rumbling sound due to the movement of the door and the huge guard statue caused a very strong vibration and pressure coming from inside the room to hit Shen Li's body.

Shen Li felt extremely comfortable as the intense energy pressure from within the room hit his body. Either unconsciously, his body was spontaneous as it received a call and walked into the room.

"Th-this.."

Shen Li who had already entered the room saw an extremely fantastic sight.

The room was like a hall with a throne that was so magnificent there. The floor was made of jade, there were 5 pieces of lighting that was very large scattered in a room that was as big as a golf course. A red carpet made of the finest silk runs all the way to the throne.

Guard statues that look firmer and cooler than those that keep the door look lined up along the edge of the wall that has primordial dragon carvings filled the room.

Shen Li continued to walk deeper and deeper while enjoying the magnificent room before his eyes.

"Is this a palace? It's so magnificent and beautiful."

Shen Li was completely hypnotized by this. Likewise with Shiu, he immediately flew here and there in the very spacious room with a happy expression.

After a while, Shen Li began to wake up from his admiration and then walked to find out exactly what made him feel familiar about the call that always bothered him.

Shen Li found something he had been looking for all this time came from a room that had a golden-coloured door behind the throne.

Curious, Shen Li walked over to the door letting Shiu who was still engrossed in his own world.

"What is this room? There are too many riddles I have to digest at once."

It was seen that the door of the room had a high-level formation seal that seemed to require a special key to open it.

Seeing that the seal required a key, Shen Li did not want to risk trying to destroy it by force.

He continued to walk through the room hoping to find the key to unseal the room.

"Why would I be so stupid like this, it certainly couldn't be as easy as getting a key from a room that was intentionally sealed high-level."

"Maybe I have to go through these ruins first to look for him. Shiu, let's go."

Shiu who was rolling around on the jade floor instantly flew onto Shen Li's shoulders following his master.

But just as he was about to leave the room, Shen Li heard a voice very familiar to him.

"Shen Li, try using your necklace." The voice that was none other than Zhang Li Quan.

"My trunk?" Shen Li who got advice from his teacher immediately realized that all this time he had not known the usefulness of his necklace so far.

"Well then, I'll try."

Shen Li and Shiu again walked closer to the room hoping for a miracle to happen.

Not wanting to wait for long, Shen Li immediately took off his necklace and placed it on a stone podium beside the door to open it.

And sure enough, just after Shen Li put down her necklace. The door shook and the high-level seal started to slowly disappear.

Shen Li and Shiu saw it gawking in disbelief with mouths forming the letter O with their stupid faces.

"What are you guys doing? aren't you coming inside?" The voice from Zhang Li Quan resuscitated the still shocked Shen Li.

He then brought his index finger closer to Shiu's jaw slowly.

"Hahaha, your face is so funny." Shen Li could no longer help but laugh at Shiu.

Shiu could only coldly snort with his flat face looking at Shen Li who ouas laughed at him.

"Let's go in."

Shen Li and Shiu walked into the dark room. When they were inside, the torches inside lit up the room.

"Th-this is a tomb?!"

Shen Li and Shiu saw an ancient coffin in the middle of the circular room. He walked up to the chest and was again surprised by something he could not have imagined.

"Teacher?! is this?!"

"That's right Shen Li. This is where my body is buried."

The ancient coffin had dragon carvings all around it with the lid of the coffin forming the body silhouette of an old man exactly the same as Zhang Li Quan.

Zhang Li Quan immediately exited Shen Li's body touching his grave and approached Shen Li.

"So all this time?"

"Right is what you think. Master who has given you the suggestion to go here." Zhang Li Quan replied.

"T-t.."

"You must be wondering, right? Teacher will explain, sit down."

Shen Li and Shiu nodded simultaneously then sat cross-legged like disciples ready to receive the learning from his teacher.

Zhang Li Quan then explained in detail the reason for calling Shen Li here.

That is because there will be a riot that will soon occur due to the weakening of the seal that guards this ruin. Because of the many heritage that is very valuable and very many are in these ruins. It would certainly provoke strong cultivators from all corners of the divine realm to come to this place fighting over the legacy he left behind.

Given the greedy and selfish nature of cultivators in the divine realm. Zhang Li Quan did not want to take the risk of giving it to those on the wrong path, which resulted in the beginning of the destruction of the entire realm.

It was for this reason that Zhang Li Quan called Shen Li to come to this place immediately.

"Then when will the seal completely disappear teacher?" ask Shen Li.

"Exactly 2 years from now."

"That's too fast, I'm not sure I can be strong that fast." Shen Li felt doubtful about the strength he had right now, considering that he was still weak even if he were in the universe (Material Realm), he would belong to the ranks of the strongest people.

"You don't need to be afraid of that Shen Li. That is the reason the teacher called you to come here immediately. Master will give me the true legacy and fully awaken your primordial body." Zhang Li Quan replied.

Shen Li and Shiu nodded in understanding with Zhang Li Quan's words.

"Then you two come with me."

Zhang Li Quan then walked to one side of the room making a complicated hand gesture then touched his palm against the wall.

A secret door opened from behind the wall.

"Shiu, come here."

Shiu immediately flew over to Zhang Li Quan without hesitation.

"This time you will train separately with Shen Li into the room. One thing you need to remember, you will not be able to die in this training but even so, you will not be able to come out before completing the entire training that is inside. Do you understand?"

Shiu looked doubtful about it, he realized that this training would be very strenuous. But he did not want to disappoint his master, with a wholehearted determination he nodded in understanding then flew into that training room.

Shortly after Shiu entered the training room, the door closed immediately and a high-level seal was formed.

"Teacher, is Shiu going to be okay?" Shen Li felt anxious about Shiu's state later on.

"Calm Shen Li, you must trust your partner. After all, you two will carry out a very difficult task in the future" Zhang Li Quan said.

Shen Li nodded in understanding with Zhang Li Quan's words.

"You come with me, I will guide you this time. Because your training this time will be a little different to what you've been through."

"Good teacher."
