Chapter 74: Ancient Ruins Opened
The next day.
In the early morning, Ji Chen woke up early.
After a quick wash, he changed into a clean white suit and walked out of the room.
When they arrived at the door of the guest house, all the disciples of Yuhua Sect had already gathered there.
Because today is the day when the Yehuang Ruins will open!
The ancient site is located in a mountain about a hundred miles outside Yuntian City.
The whole city was in a state of excitement. Not only the Yuhua Sect, but also the cultivators from all the major forces in the Xuanyu were gathering at this moment. Some had even set out early in the morning and rushed to the ancient ruins.
Soon, Tianyu was summoned by the great elder Ling Zhuo. Everyone jumped up and, led by Tianyu, flew quickly out of the city.
About two quarters of an hour later, Ji Chen and his group arrived in front of a valley.
Looking around, the place was already crowded with countless people, at least hundreds of thousands, all gathered outside the valley.
It can be seen that in front of the valley, at the entrance, there is a faint energy barrier that blocks everyone's way.
The Yehuang Ruins are not located in the valley here, but in a special spatial area, forming a world of its own.
This energy barrier will slowly disappear over time and eventually form an entrance allowing people to enter.
Each time a monument is opened, it will last for seven days.
Anyone who enters the ancient ruins will be randomly teleported to a certain place. Until seven days later, when the ancient ruins are automatically closed, the people inside will be teleported out.
During this period, you cannot leave the monument on your own!
"The number of participants in this trip to the ancient ruins is nearly double that of the last time. Someone has done a simple statistics and it is said that there are at least 50,000 to 60,000 people entering the ancient ruins this time!"
"So many people? The competition will be fierce!"
"That's inevitable. However, it's not as intense as one might imagine. After all, the Yehuang Ruins are very vast and form their own space. It's simply too big to count. Over the years, it has been opened countless times, but there are still many places that have not been explored."
"It is said that Emperor Ye knew that his time was coming to an end, so he used extraordinary means to create such a unique space monument and buried himself in it. Every ten years, the monument will be opened once, so that future generations can enter it and bring out some of his inheritance."
"As expected of a saint who has shaken the world in recent times, he can actually open up a space. I'm afraid only a saint can do this, right?"
Outside the valley, there were huge crowds of people, and many people were talking about something.
Great Elder Ling Zhuo, along with Ji Chen and others, sat cross-legged on an open space, waiting for the entrance to the valley to appear.
"Sister Yanran, have you also received the mysterious letter? The content on it..."
Ji Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, adjusting his condition. Not far behind him, somewhere in the crowd, Ji Xueruo was feeling uneasy.
This morning, when she woke up, she saw an anonymous letter on the table in the room. After opening it, she found that it contained some things that she could not believe.
Ji Xueruo found Ji Yanran as soon as possible, and then learned that the other party had also received an anonymous letter similar to hers.
"It shouldn't be Wushuang, how could it be him?"
Ji Yanran frowned and looked very ugly.
From the letter, she learned that the person who secretly bribed Hua Tian and wanted to kill Ji Chen was actually Ji Wushuang!
Such information made Ji Yanran unable to believe it was true.
Over the years, in her impression, Ji Wushuang has always been very well-behaved.
Although the other party is only an adopted son of the Ji family, in Ji Yanran's heart, Ji Wushuang is no different from his own brother.
In addition, she remembered that Ji Wushuang and Ji Chen had always had a good relationship.
Including that day when Ji Chen's spiritual sea was shattered and he was expelled from the Ji family, Ji Wushuang also spoke for Ji Chen in front of all the clan members.
How could such a person frame Ji Chen?
What is the reason?
What's the purpose?
Ji Yanran didn't believe it. She thought that the person who sent such an anonymous letter probably had some intention and wanted to disintegrate their Ji family from within!
"I don't believe it's Brother Wushuang either. He has always been very nice to Ji Chen."
"At that time, Ji Chen had just returned to the Ji family. We all disliked him, but Brother Wushuang was willing to play with Ji Chen. In our Ji family, anyone could harm Ji Chen, but Brother Wushuang would never do that!" Ji Xueruo also spoke up, firmly believing that someone must have wanted to frame Ji Wushuang.
Who is it?
What good will it do him?
The two sisters couldn't figure it out and fell silent for a while.
……
As time passed slowly, more and more people arrived here, making this originally quiet and uninhabited mountain become extremely lively.
Some monsters lurking in the mountains had already been scared away. Faced with so many cultivators, they dared not show their heads.
"Om..."
At a certain moment, when the scorching sun climbed to the sky, suddenly, the space in front of the valley shook slightly.
Afterwards, it was seen that the energy barrier, which had already become extremely dim, finally disappeared completely at this moment.
A ball of purple-black gas emerged out of thin air, and in full view of everyone, it finally condensed into shape and turned into an illusory door shadow, appearing in front of everyone.
"Entrance!"
"The Yehuang Ruins...are finally open again!"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience could no longer sit still and stood up one after another.
There were also some people who could no longer wait and rushed over quickly, wanting to seize the opportunity and enter the ancient ruins.
In an instant, the whole place was in chaos, with countless figures moving around like locusts in the sky, pouring towards the entrance.
"Let's go in too."
After waiting for a while, when most people entered the ancient ruins, finally, from the direction of Yuhua Sect, the people led by Chen Chan also stood up.
Under her leadership, Ji Chen and one hundred other top talents on the Hidden Dragon List also arrived at the entrance of the ancient ruins.
Everyone walked in without hesitation and in an orderly manner.
"Buzz!"
Ji Chen was at the back of the crowd and was the last one to walk in.
The moment he stepped into the entrance of the ancient monument, he felt a sense of weightlessness all over his body, and his vision was replaced by a white field.
Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.
When his vision was restored, Ji Chen looked around and found that he had already arrived in a special space.
The scenery here is not much different from the outside world. All around are endless mountains. The mountains are rolling and have many towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves, showing a sense of vitality.
