Ruins and the Immortal Tree
Chapter 1222 Ruins and the Immortal Tree (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
This continent is not as vast and boundless as the Lan Jun Continent; on the contrary, it is quite small.
Moreover, this continent is not fixed, as it floats erratically in the Chaotic Sea.
He only sensed a faint fluctuation.
So he transmitted his voice to the Lord of Kongming:
"Senior brother, I think I've discovered some ruins."
"You're coming with me?"
Upon hearing this, the Sovereign of Kongming immediately showed a surprised expression:
"Are there ruins? Why can't I sense them?"
However, since his junior brother Lin Qi was leading the way, he could only follow along with some skepticism.
It's truly unacceptable that he, as a top-tier ruler, sensed nothing at all.
Lin Qi, on the other hand, was enveloped in the power of destruction and continued to move forward following his own senses.
Several days passed as they traversed the chaotic, multicolored sea, until finally, amidst the endless, colorful waves, they spotted the ruins.
The Sovereign of Kongming followed behind and soon saw it too.
He immediately showed a look of surprise and said:
"We actually found a ruin. If you're not close by, you wouldn't be able to see it at all if you just passed by."
"Junior brother, it's incredible that you were able to detect it from such a distance."
The Lord of Kongming found it unbelievable. Logically speaking, his junior brother was not a spiritualist, so how could his perception be so sharp?
His soul perception was also quite strong, and he didn't detect a single trace.
Lin Qi simply smiled and said:
"Maybe it's because my senses are stronger, or maybe I'm just luckier."
Lin Qi looked at the ruins in front of him. It wasn't quite right to call it a continent, because it was countless times smaller than other continents. At most, it could only be considered an island.
In our perception, it is only a few thousand kilometers in size.
It is one of the fragments of the mainland.
Floating in the chaotic sea, facing the violent impact, ordinary planets would be crushed, but the entire ruins actually revealed layers of complex runes.
These secret patterns continuously combined to form layers of super arrays.
The entire formation frantically absorbed the power of the chaotic sea, transforming it into the pure source energy it needed, while also being able to withstand external impacts.
Upon seeing it, Lin Qi couldn't help but marvel at how incredible such a secret array was.
The fact that this ruin could last for such a long time is even more exaggerated than that of a ruler.
And this is only at low tide; the impact will be even stronger at high tide.
After observing for a while, the Sovereign of Kongming spoke:
"This is a small ruin, struggling to drift in the Chaotic Sea, and may eventually be completely pulverized and annihilated over time."
"It is possible that this relic will be completely destroyed tens of millions of years from now."
"Let's go in now!"
"This barrier can withstand the Chaotic Sea, but it cannot stop our Sovereign from entering, nor can the Mystic Rune Array stop it. It's really strange."
Lin Qi nodded slowly, and they transformed into streams of light and entered.
Like a drop of water flowing into a bubble, it quickly enters the bubble.
It encountered almost no significant obstacles.
Upon entering, Lin Qi immediately sensed a surge of energy.
I don't know if it's because this ruin is too small and the secret rune array is very strong, resulting in an even more abundant source energy.
This cultivation environment, while not as good as the core area of the Second Holy Island, is still quite suitable.
However, it's not much different from the surrounding areas.
In such an environment, if the precious natural resources planted there are not harvested for millions of years, it is unimaginable what they will become.
The Sovereign of Kongming smiled and said:
"Junior brother, we might just strike it rich."
"The ruins in the Void are not easy to find because their locations are not fixed and they float around."
“Even peak rulers don’t find it so easily every time a secret realm opens.”
"Even when I came in last time, I only followed Senior Brother Xu Yan into one ruin."
"This time, we searched for over a thousand years and finally found a ruin. We just found a Pure Soul Fruit, but then we were chased by a peak Overlord."
"Now it seems that you are more amazing, Junior Brother. You found a ruin as soon as you entered the Ancient Saint Secret Realm."
"Let's go and check if any other Overlords have come in."
"If someone gets there first, all the valuable natural treasures inside will be taken away, leaving only the newly born ones, which are worthless."
As the Sovereign of Kongming spoke, Lin Qi had already released his senses.
The area they entered was a giant garden, which should be the habitat of some powerful being. In addition to forests and mountains, there were also strangely shaped buildings.
These are all styles I've never seen before. These buildings retain traces of antiquity, yet they also maintain their own grandeur and magnificence.
However, due to the passage of time, the walls have begun to show signs of corrosion.
However, these were not Lynch's main concerns; his gaze was fixed on the flowers and plants blooming in the gardens, jungles, and mountains.
They all exuded a unique fragrance and possessed a vibrant vitality.
Perception was hindered by the earth, but the thick and hard metallic aura within it also tried to break through the earth.
All of this indicates that no other ruler had entered the country for millions of years before their arrival.
"Senior brother, no other rulers have come."
"The rare and precious materials here are all intact."
The Sovereign of Kongming also became excited and said:
"Junior brother, you are truly a lucky star."
“We’ve made a fortune, but you’re the one who discovered it.”
"According to the unspoken rules, you take the lion's share, so you go first."
"You are welcome!"
"I've benefited from your success."
Lynch nodded, without refusing.
When the rulers travel together and encounter such ruins, they must distribute them among themselves.
If they are all encountered by chance, the spoils are usually split 50/50. But if someone discovers it, then the person who discovers it takes the lion's share.
Mostly 7:3
He takes 70%, and the Lord of Kongming takes 30%.
Moreover, he gets to choose first, and can select the most precious and valuable natural treasures.
"Whoosh!!"
Thinking of this, Lin Qi didn't hold back and immediately rushed out.
In his perception, there was a region where the laws were exceptionally dense and the aura extremely strong; there were top-tier natural treasures there.
He soon saw his target: a towering tree growing in the mountains.
"Hoohoo!!"
Lin Qi floated in the sky, looking at the towering tree, which was a hundred meters tall and had a diameter of four or five meters.
On the lush foliage and branches hung several green, plum-shaped fruits.
Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw it:
"This is an immortal ancient tree."
The immortal tree is a rare plant.
Its growth conditions are extremely demanding; it cannot survive simply by having abundant source energy.
Once planted, they are very difficult to kill and will survive indefinitely.
Furthermore, the fruit produced by this tree is not ordinary fruit; in the early stages of its growth, the fruit can heal physical injuries.
It can also assist in cultivation and improve one's realm.
Later, as the fruit continued to grow, its effectiveness also improved.
The effects became stronger and stronger, eventually assisting in the comprehension of the Law of Wood, and even ultimately enhancing cultivation talent.
He transformed his physique into a special wood-attribute physique, becoming a star-domain level genius.
Ancient trees that never die are extremely rare and very expensive.
Especially the immortal fruit that can enhance talent and reach the star domain level.
"It's the Immortal Fruit. This is a wonderful thing. It can not only enhance one's talent to become a Star Domain-level genius, but also greatly improve one's understanding of the Law of Wood."
"Each one requires 200 billion contribution points, and we currently have 5, which are worth 1000 billion contribution points."
The Sovereign of Kongming followed and sighed upon seeing the Immortal Tree.
However, while these items are nice, their value isn't very high.
For him, he had seen far too many star-level geniuses; this was just a threshold.
If you can achieve that, you have the potential to become a dominant force in the future.
Although the probability is quite low, it's still much better than only having a galaxy-level genius.
Now that we have the Immortal Fruit, the human race will be able to produce several more star-domain level geniuses.
Lin Qi didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the five Immortal Fruits, storing them in his source core.
He felt he was quite lucky; he found the ruins as soon as he entered the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm and even obtained the Immortal Fruit. He earned several hundred billion contribution points.
Once you've harvested all the ruins, you'll earn even more contribution points.
He also wanted to try to cultivate the immortal tree.
As for the immortal tree in front of us, we can't take it with us; we can only leave it behind and wait for other rulers to come in a million years from now.
At that time, new immortal fruits may be produced.
Meanwhile, Lin Qi began harvesting other rare and precious materials, including flowers, herbs, and fruits.
Others are metals and stones buried deep in the earth...
"Dragon Scale Fruit, Soul-Hooking Grass, Azure Stone Beads, Demon Gold..."
Lin Qi packed up these rare and precious materials one by one, and he specifically chose the expensive ones, which required at least hundreds of millions of contribution points to qualify for his selection.
Soon, he felt that he had harvested all the places with precious natural treasures.
I only notified my senior brother, the Master of Kongming, when I felt it was about time.
"Senior brother, I have finished harvesting."
The Sovereign of Kongming shook his head and said:
"Junior brother, you're really fast at harvesting."
"Although there aren't many good items left, I've still made quite a bit of money."
After saying that, he went to harvest the remaining rare and precious materials.
Lin Qi himself observed the array of secret patterns in the sky, feeling the combination of various secret patterns within it.
Everything in the world can be combined using the secret patterns of laws. Lin Qi saw 10 secret patterns of laws, which were combined in a smooth and harmonious way, producing an incredible effect.
Lin Qi looked at the structure of the secret rune array and seemed to have gained some insight, feeling that his understanding of the power of the laws had also improved.
Furthermore, the structure and combination of this secret array seem to be able to be applied to ultimate techniques.
Because even the most advanced techniques are formed by combining different principles.
The secret rune array is like another kind of ultimate technique that is constantly being used.
The Human Alliance also employs this method, but they are not particularly adept at it, relying more on technological means.
The strongest in this regard are the Crystal Clan and the Celestial Clan.
However, compared to these ancient ruins, it still feels quite inferior.
The civilization that exists within the entire ruins predates the existence of their several top races.
"Buzz!!"
Then Lin Qi landed in the group of buildings in the ruins. Weeds had grown on the ground, and due to the rich source energy, they had even begun to transform into rare and precious materials.
Large areas of the building are covered with plants.
Lin Qi stroked the gray walls of the magnificent palace, which were made of special materials. If they could be dismantled, they would be worth a lot of contribution points.
But he wouldn't stoop to doing something like that now; he's not that short of money yet.
The palace walls are decorated with various pictures and runes, but the runes are hidden within the walls and will not be revealed without the stimulation of cosmic power.
Lin Qi watched as these net-like patterns continuously combined, seemingly forming a defensive array. By injecting cosmic power, the array could be activated to defend against attacks.
These were all combinations of secret patterns he had never seen before.
It was also very helpful to him.
If he creates a unique technique in the future, he can draw inspiration from these combinations of secret runes.
You can even comprehend the laws through these combinations of secret patterns.
In the future, besides the law of time, he will need to comprehend other fundamental laws and fully understand them before he can achieve a breakthrough.
He stared intently, while simultaneously searching the entire palace complex, hoping to find any other traces or inheritances.
Unfortunately, none of these were there; there weren't even any weapons.
Only the lonely palace walls remained.
Soon after, the Sovereign of Kongming finished his harvest and smiled with satisfaction:
"Junior brother, thanks to you this time, I've earned quite a few contribution points."
"This ruin has probably not been visited by any ruler for one or two million years, so there are quite a few rare and precious materials here."
"We should go now and continue searching for other ruins."
Lin Qi nodded; he had memorized all the secret runes and arrays of the palace complex.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
A moment later, the two transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, quickly leaving the ruins.
While in the ruins, they had fully absorbed the source energy and recovered.
Even Lin Qi's blood and qi values improved. Although the impact of the Chaotic Sea was painful, it was also a kind of training for the body.
"Junior brother, let's continue searching for other void areas."
"Be careful, there are all sorts of dangers in the Sea of Chaos, such as illusionary projections..."
Just as the Sovereign of Kongming spoke, Lin Qi's expression changed slightly.
Because in his perception, two powerful life forms suddenly appeared.
Moreover, their aura is completely different from that of the human race. It's unclear whether they are friend or foe, but they are most likely enemies.
Whether they are rulers of alien races or rulers of ancient races, they are all enemies.
If they meet in the chaotic sea, a battle is inevitable.
"Senior brother, a ruler is approaching!"
The Lord of Kongming's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said:
"How come I didn't notice?"
However, Lin Qi's perception was stronger than his; since the other party had discovered it, then it was truly discovered.
"Senior brother, what should we do next?"
Lin Qi asked.
Even if the opponent is a peak ruler, he is not afraid; he can run away if he wants to.
But the ruler of Kongming is not necessarily so.
The last time I entered, I was already chased once, so the Void-Escape Pearl given to me by the Deep Space Academy Master has most likely already been used once.
We still have two chances; we can't let them go to waste.
He's not alone now; he needs to consult the other party's opinion.
Kongming frowned, but also said decisively:
"We have to go and see. If it's a top-tier ruler, then we'll fight!"
"If we can kill them, we'll make a huge profit."
"Of course, if the opponent has a peak Dominator, then there is no need to hesitate, just activate your movement technique and run."
"Don't worry, we are legendary geniuses after all. It won't be so easy for them to kill us."
Lin Qi nodded and said:
"That's good. Let's wait here. They've spotted us."
During their conversation, Lin Qi sensed that the other party had discovered them and was rushing over.
His senses were highly focused, and he quickly identified the newcomer.
The newcomer was the ruler of an ancient clan, and his unique life force was completely different from those of people from outside.
At the same time, I sensed a dangerous aura, but it wasn't strong.
This indicates that the opponent is merely a top-tier Overlord, capable of inflicting damage but not threatening life.
The sense of crisis brought about by a peak ruler is completely different.
Meanwhile, the two ancient clan rulers, Jiaxing and Jialou, were also delighted to sense the aura coming from afar.
"Finally caught up with him."
"These two extraterrestrial rulers are quite fast runners."
Jiaxing increased his speed, quickly approaching the opponent's position.
They soon spotted their target, and not only that, they also found ruins.
Then Jiaxing's eyes lit up, and he smiled with delight, saying:
"What a pleasant surprise! Not only did we encounter the ruler from beyond the heavens, but we also found ruins."
A cruel smile appeared on Garuda's exquisite face as he said:
"It seems that the rare treasures in the ruins are on them."
"If we can kill them, we will also gain amazing benefits."
Jia Xing looked at Lin Qi and the Sovereign of Kongming and said:
"The rulers of the extraterrestrial human race?"
"In our ancient tribe, we have an obligation to kill any invaders from outer space."
"What's more, you killed my men and stole our precious natural treasures."
"Since you're here, there's no need to leave."
"Stay here, all of you."
The Sovereign of Kongming coldly snorted:
"Two top-tier rulers want to keep us here? They're courting death!"
"Junior brother, take them down."
