Chapter 869
We finally succeeded!
This house is located in the very center of the village, and it has shown the marks of time after years of wear and tear.
Qin Miyue walked ahead and pushed open the old door, and the three of them arrived at the attic.
The attic was cluttered with various odds and ends and boxes, making it look somewhat messy.
But Chen Ze immediately noticed a beautifully bound book that seemed to be carefully placed in a particularly heavy hardwood box.
"This is the family tree!" Chen Ze said excitedly.
He carefully opened the hardwood box and quickly flipped through the pages under everyone's watchful eyes.
The text on the last page caught the attention of the three of them.
"The Lingyuan Sect was founded by our ancestors. Its members will gain unparalleled power and be given a higher mission."
Tian Siyao asked in surprise, "Could it be that someone in our family is a member of the Lingyuan Sect? No wonder some of them have special abilities."
Qin Miyue frowned. "But why do we know nothing about this organization? There's not even a record of it in our family tree."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Perhaps, in order to protect the existence of the family and the Lingyuan Sect, this part of history was deliberately erased."
"Only a few clues were left behind."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they decided to return to the secret room to continue unraveling the mystery.
Inside the locked room, the three were engrossed in searching for clues.
Tian Siyao noticed a note hidden deep between the pages of the book.
She carefully took out the note and unfolded it to read.
"Only the brave can inherit the power and responsibility of the Lingyuan Sect," the note read.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
However, they firmly believed that they had enough courage and wisdom to unveil the mystery of the Lingyuan Sect.
It also provides an advantage for adventures that become increasingly difficult.
Then Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and Qin Miyue arrived in the village.
Ask the villagers if they have any clues about the Lingyuan Sect or if any strange events have occurred.
However, the villagers were vague and avoided answering, as if they knew the answer to the question but were unwilling to say more.
The three found it strange and decided to search for clues themselves.
Following the villagers' last hint, they found an old, forgotten ruin.
The ruins, entwined with thick trees and vines, looked extremely desolate.
Upon entering the ruins, the three were met with broken walls and indistinct remnants of a protective barrier.
Qin Miyue keenly sensed an ancient and mysterious energy permeating the ruins.
"Was this once a place of cultivation for the Lingyuan Sect?" Qin Miyue asked softly.
Tian Siyao walked to a pile of rubble and carefully examined the remaining runes and incantations.
After deciphering a vague and fragmented rune, she said:
"Yes, it seems that this ruin is indeed related to the Lingyuan Sect."
"Perhaps they are engaging in some mystical practices and spiritual cultivation here."
"Then why has this place been forgotten for so many years?" Chen Ze asked curiously.
Tian Siyao frowned and replied, "Perhaps it's because of some unspeakable secrets."
"It's also possible that this memory was deliberately erased from history in order to protect the Lingyuan Sect and the family."
Suddenly, they were surprised to find villagers rushing around the ruins, looking tense.
"How did you get here?" Qin Miyue couldn't help but ask.
An elderly villager stepped forward shakily, a deep look of anxiety on his face.
“We have been warned not to approach the ruins, or we will bring disaster upon ourselves.”
“But a series of strange things have happened recently, and we can no longer stand idly by,” the old villager pleaded.
Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue looked at each other and saw the determination flashing in each other's eyes.
"We have learned some things about the Lingyuan Sect."
“We believe we can unravel this mystery and protect the village’s safety,” Chen Ze said firmly.
A glimmer of hope appeared on the old villager's face. He then pleaded, "Please be careful, there may be danger lurking in the ruins."
"But we sincerely hope that you can find the truth and give us a safe future."
The three nodded solemnly, then resolutely entered the ruins. A quiet and solemn atmosphere permeated the ruins. Ancient runes crisscrossed beneath their feet.
They carefully made their way through the overgrown weeds and fallen rocks, slowly getting closer to the depths of the ruins.
Suddenly, a sinister and chilling voice echoed throughout the ruins:
"Intruders, who are you? Why do you dare to trespass into the forbidden area of the Lingyuan Sect?"
Chen Ze gripped his sword tightly, ready to face the enemy.
Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue stood behind Chen Ze in tacit agreement, reaching out to untie the gemstone necklaces hanging from their chests.
Immediately afterwards, a strong energy fluctuation emanated from the ruins.
A powerful force surged around them.
The three of them exchanged glances, and no matter what lay ahead, they were determined to continue.
They then continued searching the ruins.
Chen Ze and the others carefully pushed open the heavy door and stepped into the road leading deep into the ruins.
The road was entangled with trees and vines, and it seemed that no one had walked on it for a long time.
The three men looked serious, drew their weapons, and prepared to deal with any danger at any time.
They passed through the broken doors and windows and entered the core area.
Before me lay a jumbled mess of building ruins, resembling a once-glorious palace.
Ancient and mysterious runes are embedded in the walls, which have been ravaged by time, and faintly shimmer with strange light.
As the three entered the core area of the ruins, they unexpectedly triggered a long-hidden but still powerful and active barrier.
A powerful force suddenly enveloped the entire space, completely enveloping them.
They felt as if they were in another dimension, with everything around them becoming blurry.
Tian Siyao immediately demonstrated her talent for deciphering mechanisms and incantations.
Working freely within this complex and mysterious barrier.
She carefully observed the runes and mechanisms around her, trying to find a way to break the barrier.
At the same time, Qin Miyue, relying on her knowledge of ancient magic and spells, began to analyze the power emanating from the barrier.
She discovered that the barrier not only trapped them.
It also contains a vaguely terrifying offensive power.
She quickly cast a shield spell, adding an extra layer of defense for the entire team.
Chen Ze remained highly vigilant, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings.
Whenever he sensed even the slightest unusual energy fluctuation, he reacted immediately.
They easily evaded the traps and attacks hidden within the barrier.
"Tian Siyao, do you see any flaws?" Chen Ze asked, staring intently at her.
Tian Siyao nodded intently: "I've noticed a few things that are clearly wrong with this barrier."
"If I understand correctly..."
After Tian Siyao explained the principles behind the formation of the barrier in detail, the three of them set to work together.
Together, they broke through the barrier's weakness and successfully dispelled the barrier that enveloped the entire ruins.
As the barrier disappeared, the scenery inside the ruins suddenly became clear.
It's as if time has revitalized it.
The runes in the palace shimmered with an ancient and mysterious aura under the light.
"We finally succeeded!" Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and said.
They carefully walked across the ruins, gradually approaching the depths of the desolation.
finally.
The three found a prototype of a bracelet made of pure gold, inlaid with various gems and runes, with exquisite craftsmanship at the deepest part of the barrier—the "Source Spirit Artifact".
The bracelet radiated a dazzling light, captivating all who beheld it. (End of Chapter)
