Chapter 108: The Ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain

Chu Xuan’s interest was piqued when he saw this information.

The appearance of the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain meant that a fortuitous encounter had appeared.

A large sect that once had a Heaven realm expert was trapped in a spatial crack. There should be an inheritance left behind in its ruins, right?

How could the various powers in the Southern Region not be tempted?

Chu Xuan continued to read the document.

The sects and empires of the Southern Region had already sent experts to the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain. They were waiting for the ruins to fully open before entering to compete for the inheritance and treasures.

Seeing as it was an ancient ruin of a powerful sect, there had to be emperor-level artifacts inside.

Perhaps there might even be Divine artifacts inside!

The Great Qin Dynasty’s foundation was still a bit lacking. However, by cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain, coupled with the fact that the Qin, Zhao, and He families had digested the foundation left behind by their ancestors, they were able to send quite a few truth realm experts.

The strongest among them had already reached the seventh level of the truth realm.

Since the ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain had appeared, the Great Qin Dynasty had naturally participated. Moreover, they were cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain.

The Great Empress Qin Keyun even personally went to the border to take charge so that she could personally receive the treasures.

With the current situation in the Southern Region, Qin Keyun was already the strongest person below the Emperor realm.

The evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty were naturally unwilling to be left behind.

Dozens of sects and forces, big and small, gathered around the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain.

They were all waiting for the ruin to open.

Several battles had already taken place.

Several unity realm experts had fallen.

Naturally, people from the Black Moon Tower were also present.

How could they be absent from such a big event?

Chu Xuan decided to intervene. After all, participating in the exploration of the ruin might trigger a system reward inadvertently.

He could not leave the small courtyard, but he had disciples.

Ding Yue was a ninth-level truth realm cultivator. Even a half-step emperor realm expert might not be his match.

The power of the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was sufficient to kill those stronger than him.

Moreover, Ding Yue’s Sword Dao talent was top-notch. His affinity with the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was perfect, which made it even more powerful.

Wang Luo was only at the first level of the truth realm, so he would not join in the fun for now.

Moreover, he was busy refining pills and tempering his body.

There was another most important reason behind this decision. Ding Yue was the son of fate of the Southern Region. In that sense, the treasures in the ancient ruins here were tailor-made for him.

It was also a stage for Ding Yue to become famous.

It was time for Ding Yue, the son of fate of the Southern Region, to show off.

The treasures in the ancient ruins might be very ordinary to Chu Xuan, and he would not care about them at all.

Ding Yue, who had his horizons broadened, probably would not care too much about them either.

However, they were still treasures. Even if they were given to the Chu family, it was better than giving them to someone else.

Chu Xuan summoned Ding Yue.

“Master!”

Ding Yue bowed respectfully.

Chu Xuan handed him the information and said, “Take a look.”

Ding Yue took a look at the information, and his eyes flashed with a bright gleam. He became excited.

He had been betrayed by his childhood sweetheart and suffered humiliation from his fellow Nine Swords Mountain sect disciples. In the end, he was directly expelled and disappeared from sight in a sorry state.

He had been holding back his anger the whole time.

He had worked hard to cultivate and become stronger. He wanted nothing more than to show up in front of them and slap their faces!

He wanted to make those who looked down on him in the past feel regret!

How long had it been since he was expelled?

He was now at the ninth level of the truth realm. His comprehension of Sword Dao was so high that it was not an exaggeration to say that no one from Nine Swords Mountain could defeat him.

The sole exception to this was if there was an Emperor realm expert.

Nine Swords Mountain was famous for its Sword Dao, and it was the number one sword sect in the Southern Region. As an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, he would use his Sword Dao to defeat Nine Swords Mountain and shove their faces into the ground.

Just thinking about it made him excited.

He had been waiting for this opportunity and, now, the time had finally come.

The Bai Sheng Mountain ancient ruin had appeared, and all of the major forces of the Southern Region were participating in its exploration. All of the famous experts of the Southern Region would make their appearance here.

He, Ding Yue, wanted to subdue Nine Swords Mountain in front of all of the major forces of the Southern Region.

Ding Yue believed that he had almost figured out the second stage of the way of the sword.

It was time to test his Sword Dao.

“Master, I want to go to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin!” Ding Yue said respectfully.

“Go then. With your strength, there aren’t many who can rival you in the Southern Region.” Chu Xuan nodded.

After a brief pause, he said, “Sword cultivators are unyielding. You were once expelled. It’s time for you to make a name for yourself and take back your dignity.”

“The major forces of the Southern Region will definitely restrict some people from participating in the exploration of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin. As an itinerant cultivator, you will definitely be obstructed.”

“However, all obstructions are meaningless in the face of absolute strength. I won’t make any arrangements for you. You will find a way to enter the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin by yourself.”

What Chu Xuan wanted was for Ding Yue to show off at the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin and slap everyone’s faces.

If his disciple made a name for himself and did well, would he trigger the system’s reward?

The probability of this was very high.

“Yes, Master!”

Ding Yue was extremely excited.

Chu Xuan reminded him again, “The treasures inside the ruin might be ordinary, but you shouldn’t let others have them. If you encounter them, you can fight for them. It’s up to you.”

“Don’t worry, Master. As long as I want it, no one can take it away,” Ding Yue said seriously.

“Go.”

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

“Yes, Master!”

Before Ding Yue left, he ran into the pocket dimension and asked Wang Luo for some pills.

After all, he had to face a lot of battles, and might even be ganged up upon.

Naturally, he had to prepare some healing pills, spiritual power recovery pills, and other kinds of pills.

There were countless treasures inside the pocket dimension. Wang Luo’s alchemy skills were excellent, and he could already refine emperor-level pills with his truth realm cultivation.

After taking the pills, he stored the divine sword into his body and left the Chu family’s territory with a high-grade treasured sword, heading to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

Ding Yue had already successfully refined the divine sword given by Chu Xuan, but it was not easy to use it.

The divine sword was still a divine sword after all, and it had the ability to protect its master on its own volition. At critical moments, he could also rely on the divine sword to display its powerful strength.

This was his trump card.

The high-grade treasured sword was something that Ding Yue had been using for practice this entire time. After he nurtured it, it seemed to be on the verge of transforming into an emperor-level weapon.

After cultivating the Firmament Sword body, the sword intent in Ding Yue’s body grew on its own. It was still a good distance from transforming and surging with vast sword intent, but it was sufficient to nurture the divine sword.

It was enough to transform a high-grade artifact into an emperor-level artifact. The only difference was that the time needed to nurture it.

Bai Sheng Mountain was located in the north of the Southern Region, at the center of a stretch of a barren mountain range.

This was where Bai Sheng Mountain’s sect had once been located. During the great battle, Bai Sheng Mountain’s sect had been trapped in a spatial crack.

The surrounding mountains had been worn down by the great battle. Thanks to that, they were barren and lifeless, devoid of any flora and fauna.

As time passed, traces of the great battle faded away, and vegetation had started to grow here in the past hundred years.

Even so, the vegetation was sparse, and the spiritual energy here was chaotic. There was no village or town within a ten thousand li radius of this place.

No demon beasts were willing to stay in such a place either.

The surrounding mountains were only filled with ordinary wild beasts.

A month ago, the illusory image of a ruin had suddenly appeared in the barren mountain range, immediately attracting the attention of cultivators.

According to records, this place had once been the headquarters of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect, and the appearance of a powerful sect’s ruin naturally took the Southern Region by storm.

Countless factions had arrived, each wanting to obtain a great opportunity.

The few mountains closest to the ruin had already been occupied by the various factions.

Nine Swords Mountain and the Great Qin Empire each occupied a mountain.

The evil imperial court, Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, and the Great Qian Dynasty each occupied a mountain as well.

There were also other mountain peaks occupied by other major forces.

The weakest had experts at the third level of the truth realm and above.
