Chapter 2482 - 2172: Only Certain People Can Enter These Ancient Ruins

With the disappearance of border restrictions, flying boats from all the factions in Central State entered the Border Wilderness one after another.

The first thing all the factions did upon entering the Border Wilderness was to find the disciples they had sent into the area to scout the situation. Upon learning that the ancient ruins were located in Dazhou, the factions from Central State quickly headed toward Dazhou.

Initially, there were no large-scale conflicts among the factions, only some minor skirmishes.

It was unwise to deplete their strength before witnessing the ancient inheritance.

Lu Chen had sent all the important figures into the ancient ruins, so Dazhou was easily taken over by the factions from Central State without any resistance.

Fortunately, these factions were righteous sects. Even though they secretly looked down on the people of the Border Wilderness and had done many dirty deeds, with all the factions gathered here, they had to put on a facade. Therefore, they didn’t act recklessly towards the people of Dazhou on the surface.

High above, dozens of flying boats were gathered together.

On top of the flying boats stood the leaders of each faction.

At this moment, an elder from a certain Holy Land was the first to speak, "I believe everyone is aware of the situation in Dazhou. Now, that native from the Border Wilderness named Lu Chen has taken those around him into the ruins. Since he is the only one who knows how to enter the ruins, if we want to enter the ancient ruins, we must join forces to forcefully break the entrance to the ruins."

After hearing these words from the elder, Chu Yuqin immediately said, "If we forcefully break the entrance, it could cause the ruins to collapse."

"As far as I know, many of our disciples have been taken into the ruins by Lu Chen. If the ruins collapse, they won’t survive either."

Chu Yuqin did not want to force the entrance to the ruins; after entering the Border Wilderness, he had sent people to investigate Chu Qingli’s whereabouts.

After his investigation, he discovered that his disciple Chu Qingli had already pledged allegiance to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor and had also been taken into the ancient ruins by Lu Chen.

After hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, the leader of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, Li Shuo, chuckled and said, "If you’re against breaking the entrance, then you from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land had better come up with a way to enter the ruins."

In response to Li Shuo, Chu Yuqin reminded coldly, "Don’t forget, your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty’s Princess Junwan is also in there."

"If the ruins collapse, your Princess Junwan will also die, and you will have no way to explain that to your Immortal Emperor when you return."

Li Shuo replied indifferently, "Our Princess has plenty of life-saving treasures; even if the ruins collapse, she won’t be harmed."

At this point, the lead elder of Qionghua Holy Land, Wei Yang, also spoke, "I too support forcibly breaking the entrance to the ruins."

"According to information from Tianji Pavilion, the ruins may require the Emperor of Dazhou to open them, and now that the Dazhou Emperor has hidden within them.

"If we don’t forcibly break the entrance, we might have to wait until the powers of the ruins have completely disappeared, but if that happens, the ruins will collapse on their own."

Upon hearing Wei Yang’s words, the leaders of each faction agreed to forcibly break open the entrance to the ruins, even those who initially feared the collapse of the ruins began to waver.

Chu Yuqin fell silent, realizing that even if she opposed, it would be futile with so many in favor of breaking the entrance.

However, at this moment, a purple flying boat slowly approached the top of the ruins.

Seeing this flying boat heading directly towards them, the crowd became curious, thinking that another faction from Central State had arrived.

But judging from the scene, it seemed that most of the powerful factions from Central State were already present, indicating that this purple flying boat might not belong to any powerful faction.

While people were considering whether to preemptively remove the small factions that wanted to muddy the waters, a woman’s voice came from the purple flying boat: "By order of the Pavilion Master, I have come as a junior to remind you seniors that the entrance to these ruins has a special power, and only certain individuals can enter this ancient ruin. If anyone attempts to forcibly break the entrance, they will suffer a backlash from the powers of the ruins."

Upon hearing the voice from the purple flying boat, all present were stunned, especially the leaders who supported breaking the entrance, each of them frowned with unpleasant expressions.

They were considering breaking the entrance, yet here came a reminder from someone in the Tianji Pavilion warning them not to.

They trusted the words of the Tianji Pavilion without a doubt since it held a neutral standing in Central State and did not favor any side.

Many Secret Realms were first discovered by Tianji Pavilion, which then published the coordinates and informed all factions.

As for why the Tianji Pavilion did this, people did not know, but they knew that the Pavilion never spread false messages or information.

While everyone was still in shock, a woman dressed in plain white walked out from the room of the purple flying boat to stand on the deck.

Although she possessed only a Heavenly Realm cultivation state, the Saint Realm experts present dared not underestimate her.

At this time, Wei Yang asked, "May I ask this lady, the ’certain individuals’ you mentioned, who exactly are they?"

Since they couldn’t forcibly break the entrance, they could only hope that their factions were among those with the so-called certain individuals.

If not, they would have to figure out how to find those who could enter the ruins and send them in to seek the ancient inheritance.

Chen Wanrong stood on the deck of the flying boat, scanning the crowd before saying, "According to our Pavilion Master, only those who can withstand the erosion of the mysterious power at the entrance can enter the ancient ruins."

Upon hearing Chen Wanrong’s words, everyone felt disappointed.

Wasn’t that obvious?

If they could withstand the erosion of that special power at the ruins’ entrance, they would have entered the ancient ruins long ago instead of debating whether to forcibly break the entrance.

However, really, is there anyone who can withstand that power’s erosion?

That power was so aggressive that it could swallow the vitality within a person almost instantly.

They had already tried; just approaching the entrance was sufficient to turn a person’s body to ash without lasting even a breath’s time.

At this moment, the leaders looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

Li Shuo then asked, "Miss Chen, do you know what realm people can enter this ruin?"

Li Shuo had some impression of Chen Wanrong.

As soon as Chen Wanrong emerged from the flight room, he recognized her.

Although Chen Wanrong was just an ordinary disciple of Tianji Pavilion, she seemed to be highly valued by the Pavilion Master.

Many critical pieces of information from the Pavilion were disseminated by her.

Upon hearing Li Shuo’s question, Chen Wanrong responded calmly, "This ruin has no realm limit; as long as the person meets the conditions, they can enter the ruins."

With Chen Wanrong’s clarification, Li Shuo wasted no more time with them and flew directly to the entrance of the ruins.

Seeing Li Shuo suddenly move to the edge of the ruins’ entrance, seemingly eager to test whether he could enter the ancient ruins, the onlookers were highly alert, wondering if Li Shuo could succeed.

However, to their surprise, Li Shuo did not venture toward the entrance; instead, he stood at its edge, brought out a small pagoda, and used his spiritual power to move the pagoda toward the entrance, appearing to attempt sending it into the ancient ruins.
