C47 Venerable one of the nine prefectures
The cliff was pitch black, and not a single blade of grass grew on it. It carried a solemn killing intent that shot straight into the heart.
The three of them got off the crane and walked towards the cliff. Ye Feng had a hunch that there was something on the cliff that attracted him to the place.
The closer they got to the cliff, the stronger the pressure became, so much so that the three of them could barely breathe. Every step forward was very tiring, and circulating the spirit energy within their bodies to resist the pressure made the three of them feel slightly better.
Although the three of them could not be considered experts, they had all reached the Qi Condensation stage, so their use of spirit energy was no longer as taxing as the Qi Condensation stage. If they were Qi Condensation stage cultivators, they would definitely not be here.
Ye Feng took out three Qi Gathering Symbol s and released them on the three of them, instantly recovering the spirit energy that they had consumed.
The two girls once again set their gazes on Ye Feng's storage bag. In particular, Mei Zhiruo, was very curious, what other treasures did Ye Feng have among the storage bag?
After recovering their spirit energy, the three continued to move forward under the immense pressure. Clenching their teeth, they waited until Ye Feng used the Qi Gathering Symbol three times before they finally arrived in front of the cliff.
Facing the cliff, the shock it gave was extremely intense. It was as if the black and smooth cliff had been split apart by a single sword strike.
Halfway up the cliff, there were several dozen inscriptions. They seemed to be symbols, curving and curving. They seemed to be the oracle bone inscriptions that Ye Feng remembered.
The three of them did not recognize these words, they were not words that could be used on this continent.
The three of them looked over, trying to comprehend the meaning within. However, no matter how they looked at it, they were unable to comprehend it.
Ye Feng was really not willing to give up. What kind of strange wall was this, and the words written on it were difficult to understand.
After adjusting his angle and observing from all directions, Ye Feng hoped to find some clues.
Suddenly, he discovered that these characters were closer to symbols, or perhaps they were hieroglyphs. Ye Feng once knew from the Chinese language that some characters belonged to hieroglyphs. They had undergone countless generations of evolution before finally forming the current Chinese characters.
Ye Feng tried his best to compare each character to a variety of shapes, and as expected, after he understood this point, Ye Feng discovered that the words on top of the wall were actually human body movements, sometimes sitting in meditation, sometimes clenching his fists, sometimes walking forward, all sorts of posture.
When Mei Zhiruo and Zhen Xuetian heard this, the two girls looked at the cliff in astonishment. After looking at it for a long time, no matter how hard they tried to imagine, they could not understand what Ye Feng meant.
Finally, Ye Feng pointed at each of the words and explained it to the two girls, but the two girls still didn't understand.
Helpless, Ye Feng could only give up and let the two of them go on their own to comprehend it. Ye Feng, on the other hand, was completely focused on the cliff.
Ye Feng discovered that this was actually a cultivation technique. However, this kind of cultivation technique was not coherent, it was only a part of it. He did not know why a part of it was missing.
However, this was already enough to shock Ye Feng. He stared at the cliff and memorized all of the words on it, and then his body started to transform into one of those movements.
"Hu!" Ye Feng walked to the side of Zhen Xuetian who was a few steps away with a single step, and shocked Zhen Xuetian who was currently focusing on reading a few words.
"Cousin, what are you doing? Are you scaring me to death?"
Zhen Xuetian's dissatisfied voice attracted Mei Zhiruo's attention.
Ye Feng raised his leg, and suddenly appeared in front of Mei Zhiruo, so sudden that it couldn't be more abrupt, and made Mei Zhiruo, who was prepared, jump in fright.
When did Ye Feng have such a cultivation? It was as if his body wasn't restricted by the time and distance. He could appear wherever he wanted.
"What kind of technique is this?" Mei Zhiruo regretted it after she finished speaking, even though the two of them were very familiar with each other and had come to the Great Plains together, but there were some things that they could not listen to, especially the cultivation techniques.
"This is the cultivation technique recorded on the cliff, it is only one of them." Ye Feng said to the two girls, he did not mind Mei Zhiruo's brashness in the slightest.
"What, he's so amazing, I want to learn too." Zhen Xuetian was overjoyed to see this, grabbing onto Ye Feng's arm, wanting him to teach it to her.
"How should I put it, it's not that my cousin is not willing to teach you, but that this technique is very amazing, and only the two of you can learn it through reading the characters on the cliff and using your own understanding. I have no way of passing it down to the two of you." Ye Feng was also helpless, this was his own personal experience, he could only learn the skills on top, but had no way of passing them down to others. If word got out, he didn't know if Zhen Xuetian would believe it or not.
"I believe you." Zhen Xuetian nodded his head, towards Ye Feng's words, Zhen Xuetian did not doubt him at all.
Zhen Xuetian's trust moved Ye Feng, and she said to the two of them: "You two carefully read the words on the cliff too, maybe you two will also gain something from it."
The three of them focused their attention on the cliff again. Suddenly, the cliff glowed with a black light and the characters seemed to have revived. They wriggled and turned into a golden light, leaving the cliff and disappearing into the clouds.
This strange scene left the three of them dumbstruck.
After a long time, the cliff turned into a mirror covered with black light.
Mei Zhiruo and Zhen Xuetian looked at each other, then looked at Ye Feng.
"Cousin sure is lucky. There must be some sort of inheritance recorded on this cliff. Since Cousin has already obtained it, the words have disappeared."
"Congratulations, Ye Feng." Mei Zhiruo was also sincerely happy for Ye Feng.
Everyone would want to obtain a peerless inheritance, but that would depend on luck and fortune. Or rather, whether the peerless inheritances accepted you or not, jealousy and envy had no meaning.
As the words on the cliff disappeared, the overwhelming pressure from before also disappeared. The bottom of the cliff was no different from any other place on the plains.
Feeling that this place was of no more value, the three of them proceeded deeper into the plains.
If they continued forward, it would no longer be called a great plain. The great plain that was once a thousand miles in front of them had now completely disappeared, replaced by a mountain range filled with mountains.
There were traces of ancient times everywhere.
Zhen Xuetian picked up a rusty bronze sword, it was only three inches long, and although it looked like it was about to be destroyed, it still released a terrifying power.
Of course it's a good treasure, Zhen Xuetian happily played with it, and was not willing to take it in.
Before she could recover from her happiness, Mei Zhiruo had picked up a silk handkerchief. The silk handkerchief was filled with an ancient aura, and upon it was embroidered with birds from the ancient times.
"Stop being so beautiful. All of you should quickly put it away. Who knows, there might be some other treasures up ahead. It would be quite regretful if you missed them." Ye Feng reminded the two, at the same time he was happy for them.
Right now, the two of them could be said to listen to everything Ye Feng said. They quickly kept the treasures inside the storage bag and looked around.
Zhen Xuetian and Mei Zhiruo were both not interested in the fragments, but Ye Feng was just like a bumpkin. As long as he saw something that had not turned into dust, no matter what it was, he would take it all in the storage bag s. In his words, since it was something from the Primordial Era, as long as he could keep it until now, it would be good stuff.
From time to time, the three of them would gain something, and they happily exclaimed that this wasn't an adventure, but more like picking up a treasure.
A large number of items appeared, making the three of them look even more forward to the deepest part. Rumor has it that it's the center of the relic, and there are probably unexpected treasures in the center.
As he continued to search for treasures, he continued to move forward with great pleasure.
"Hu!" The light flashed in the corner of his eyes. Just as Ye Feng was about to lower his head to pick up an unsightly looking cauldron, he suddenly saw a ray of light flying towards them.
It was too late to dodge, and it was too late to warn the two girls. The two girls hurriedly lowered their heads in search of treasures, forgetting that this was an ancient ruin that existed at a dangerous time.
"Bam!" The quick-witted Ye Feng activated the three tortoise shell talismans that were pasted on his sleeves at the same time. Three layers of protection were applied to the three of them.
The light beam struck the trio's bodies, creating an intense collision with their defenses and sending them flying.
He was completely unprepared. Even though the tortoise shell talisman had a defensive effect, the spirit energy in their bodies didn't circulate. The collision had caused some damage to the three of them.
The three of them fell to the ground at the same time. Zhen Xuetian's fiery hot temper flared up immediately as she got up to check what had attacked the three of them.
Ye Feng hurriedly looked at Zhen Xuetian, signalling for him to obediently lie on the ground, pretending to be seriously injured. Both Zhen Xuetian and Mei Zhiruo were extremely smart, and upon seeing Ye Feng's hints, they didn't move an inch.
"Haha, three idiots are busy picking up things. What do they need when their lives are gone?" A sinister laughter sounded and footsteps sounded.
Ye Feng slightly squinted his eyes.
The four of them were about the same age as them, and judging from their auras, they were all in the Qi Refining stage.
It seemed like these four people had ambushed the three of them.
"This is already the fifth wave and eldest senior brother's stratagem is even more brilliant. You don't need to look for treasures. As long as you wait here, people will send treasures to your doorstep." Another voice fawned.
"That's right, they deserved the death of three idiots. Don't think about why they ended up with treasures everywhere."
Ye Feng and the other two understood. No wonder there were several treasures under their feet earlier. So it was a trap. These four people set up an ambush. Previously, it was indeed the three of them who were looking for the treasure, but in the end, they fell into another trap.
"Elder Senior-apprentice Brother, these two girls look pretty good. Let's not kill them for now. Let's have a laugh. How about it?" A burst of laughter that was so repulsive.
"Good idea, we martial brothers will start eating today." That senior brother of his was also not a good person. He walked up to Zhen Xuetian and stretched his hand out to touch Zhen Xuetian's face.
"Go to hell!" Zhen Xuetian who was closing her eyes and pretending to be unconscious suddenly used her strength, the broken bronze piece in her hand, struck the Da Shixiong's wrist.
"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking and tendons breaking sounded.
"AHH!" The Eldest Senior Brother screamed miserably as he hugged his injured hand and was about to retreat.
When he saw that Zhen Xuetian had succeeded with her attack, both of her legs pushed off the ground and her body soared into the air. Holding the bronze cauldron that she had picked up earlier, she smashed it towards the head of the senior brother.
"Pacha!" The senior brother didn't expect Ye Feng to use this move when he was retreating. He turned his head and the bronze cauldron fell on Ye Feng's shoulder. His shoulder was instantly smashed into a bloody mess, revealing the bones and white stubble.
As expected of a Qi Condensation cultivator, after receiving such a strong injury, the Eldest Senior Brother did not faint and fall to the ground. Instead, he quickly retreated and stood shoulder to shoulder with his other three Junior Brothers.
Mei Zhiruo and Zhen Xuetian also stood up from the ground and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Feng, sizing up the four people opposite them.
"Who dares to sneak attack our senior apprentice-brother?" The four people on the other side took a bite out of it and said that it was Ye Feng and the other two who had ambushed them.
Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head, this guy is really shameless, it was clearly you guys who ambushed us.
"Who are you people?" Ye Feng asked.
"If you say it, you'll be scared to death. Hurry up and surrender, lest you suffer physical pain." a guy threatened.
"We are the disciples of the Venerable Ones of the Nine Provinces. If we give up resisting, perhaps we can consider leaving you with an intact corpse. If you dare to resist, we will tell you to dismember your corpses into ten thousand pieces." A guy gave his name.
Ye Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the so-called Supreme of the Nine Prefectures was.
Ye Feng had only been in the Wanghai Sect for a few days, so it was understandable that he did not know some of the famous seniors in the cultivation world. However, Mei Zhiruo had been in the Wanghai Sect for more than a year, so she had some understanding of the famous seniors in the cultivation world.
The name of the Nine Prefectures' Venerable One was too famous. How big was he? As the name implied, he could be called the Nine Prefectures, even if he was in the Nine Prefectures.
The Wanghai Sect was located within the borders of the Liang, together with the two great cultivation forces of the Qiankun Sect, known as the Liang.
And Liang was only a small country in Central State that wasn't worth mentioning.
The Central Region was one of the Nine Prefectures. One could imagine the rank of the cultivators that were famous in the Nine Prefectures.
Let alone Ye Feng, even the entire Wanghai Sect was not enough for others to see.
