Chapter 1896 - 1879: What Jiang Kong Left Behind

"The ruins within the First Layer Heaven are definitely not simple!"

Xiao Ye withdrew all of his aura, and his gaze fell upon the Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall.

Empowered and completed by the abilities of the Time Tower Fifth Floor, the Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall had already been half refined by him at this moment.

"As expected of the First Layer Heaven of the Taixu Saint Realm. Just refining half of the Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall has already caused my Tai Chu Spirit Flower to grow significantly."

Xiao Ye rose to his full height, every movement unleashing terrifying Spiritual Power; his entire person shot out from the Time Tower and arrived in the outside world.

Following the message transmitted by the Sound Transmission Golden Pearl, Xiao Ye flew in the starry sky, and after three days finally met up with Jiu Xiao.

"Brother Xiao, I truly somewhat regret giving you that half piece of Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall."

"It seems the advantage I gained from entering the First Level Heaven before you will soon vanish completely."

Jiu Xiao was dressed in black, his features handsome. After seeing Xiao Ye, he carefully sized him up and immediately revealed a look of shock.

After all, he was a Super Strong expert of the Void Great Realm, had cultivated for endless years, and was also a genius bearing the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, so his eye for such things was naturally keen.

Even without crossing blows with Xiao Ye, he could still discern some clues from Xiao Ye’s Qi.

"Brother Jiu Xiao, what ruins are you talking about?" Xiao Ye smiled faintly and asked.

With the Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall completed by the Time Tower, it was even more terrifying than an authentic Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall. Coupled with the advantage of Time, how could Jiu Xiao compare to him?

"Here’s how it is."

Jiu Xiao’s expression grew solemn, and he hurriedly began to speak.

It turned out that after Jiu Xiao refined that half piece of Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall, he did not disturb Xiao Ye, but continued to seek powerful Cosmic Spiritual Treasures within the First Layer Heaven, refining them to enhance his strength.

In this way, through a fortuitous encounter, Jiu Xiao unexpectedly discovered an ancient ruins.

These ruins were riddled with peril and had already been occupied by powerful Exotic Beasts. Jiu Xiao did not rashly charge in, but invited Xiao Ye to jointly explore it.

"The ruins of the First Layer Heaven have likely already been investigated by those fellows ranked in the top ten of the Realm Spirit List."

"If they have not, then these ruins must be extremely dangerous."

"But we should go take a look regardless." Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and spoke.

He was filled with anticipation toward the First Layer Heaven.

Moreover, now that the Ten Great Experts were out roaming, this was a perfect opportunity to提升实力!

At once, Jiu Xiao led Xiao Ye, cutting across the void as they rushed toward a certain direction.

After flying for a full half month, Jiu Xiao finally came to a halt.

"Brother Jiu Xiao, is it here?"

Xiao Ye stopped alongside him, his gaze sweeping around, and he could not help but frown slightly.

In this stretch of starry sky, there was scarcely a single star to be seen, yet nothing appeared special. He released his Spiritual Sense to sweep out, but still discovered nothing.

"Brother Xiao, don’t be impatient. This starry sky is extremely peculiar. According to my observations, every three days a starry sky storm will appear here."

"And the entrance to the ruins lies within that starry sky storm. If I hadn’t passed by here and happened to encounter the storm, I might never have discovered this secret in my entire life," Jiu Xiao said with a smile.

"A starry sky storm?" Xiao Ye’s face was full of shock.

Hiding the entrance to the ruins within a storm—what kind of means was this?

He found himself ever more interested in these ruins.

Next, the two settled down here, adjusting their states as they waited for the starry sky storm to appear.

After all, they both knew that once they entered those ruins, a great battle would likely erupt.

"Brother Xiao, the starry sky storm is coming!"

Only two days had passed when Jiu Xiao’s explosive shout awakened Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye released his Spiritual Sense to sweep outward and quickly discovered a violently berserk Energy rapidly burgeoning beneath this stretch of starry sky, then coalescing into a vast storm that swept over from afar.

Crash!

As the storm rampaged, the starry sky shook violently, as though the Cosmic Spiritual Energy of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had all been drawn in and dragged into it, continuously swelling the storm.

By the time it neared the two, this starry sky storm already enveloped millions of miles, its terrifying suction more than enough to instantly kill an ordinary Heavenly Spirit Realm expert.

"There!"

Xiao Ye looked toward the center of the storm, and his eyes immediately burst forth with blazing light.

There, a cluster of ancient buildings faintly appeared, like a Mirage, exceedingly illusory.

"Go!"

Without needing Jiu Xiao’s reminder, Xiao Ye let out a loud roar, opened his defenses, and charged straight into the storm.

Across the Void Great Realm, these two were both Super Strong experts. A starry sky storm of this degree, though fearsome, was still not enough to threaten them.

Gradually, their figures vanished within the storm.

...

Within a chaotic spatial zone, countless spatial turbulences spread, and multicolored light swept in all directions.

Xiao Ye and Jiu Xiao’s figures suddenly appeared here.

"What terrifying methods!"

Xiao Ye’s gaze swept across, and he involuntarily sucked in a cold breath.

This place was like countless spaces stacked atop one another; Heaven and Earth appeared chaotic and disordered, exceedingly strange.

The most conspicuous of all was the vast complex of buildings ahead, deathly silent, yet exuding a chilling aura within this space.

"Brother Xiao, that is the ruins I discovered. Once we approach the entrance, we will immediately face a siege by Exotic Beasts!" Jiu Xiao said.

"Very well, let us go." Xiao Ye drew out the Purple Shadow Spirit Bow, exchanged a glance with Jiu Xiao, and the two slowly flew toward those ruins.

Before the ruins lay a gigantic plaza.

The plaza was empty; not a single Exotic Beast could be seen. Only a seemingly ordinary, ancient Stone Sword was slanted into the ground of the square.

Jiu Xiao’s attention was completely drawn to the ruins ahead, but Xiao Ye stepped before the Stone Sword, carefully scrutinizing it, even releasing his Spiritual Sense to probe it.

Yet this Stone Sword was like an Abyss, Devouring all of the Spiritual Sense he released.

He even tried to draw out the Stone Sword by urging his Spiritual Power, but failed. The moment his Tai Chu Spiritual Power touched the Stone Sword, it was likewise completely Devoured, and even performing the Spirit Suppressing Technique proved useless.

"This Stone Sword is likely no Mortal object!"

Xiao Ye gave up and was just about to leave when his pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze lingering on the hilt of the Stone Sword.

There, faint Seals could be seen, eroded by Time, yet he could still roughly discern that it was the common script of the Three Thousand Great Realms—

Jiang Kong!

In that instant, it was as though Xiao Ye had been struck by lightning; his mind roared.

This name—leaving aside the Void Great Realm—was one that likely no one in the Three Thousand Great Realms did not know. He had heard countless tales of this person.

The Human Clan’s peerless genius, the Quasi New Saint Jiang Kong!

This Quasi New Saint had also once come to the Void Great Realm for Cultivation back in the day.

"Could these ruins be related to Jiang Kong?" Xiao Ye looked once more toward those ruins, his face filled with shock.
