Chapter 727 Ancient Treasure

"Ancient treasure!"

Zhao Heng and Li Daoyuan both looked surprised and were not familiar with this.

Nangong Li explained: "It is rumored that the treasures used by monks in ancient times are different from the magical tools in today's cultivation world. There are huge differences in both the production process and the materials used.

In our southern cultivation world, there are also several rare treasures that are rarely known, which are ancient treasures refined by ancient monks. "

"Sect Master, do you mean that the ancient treasure is more powerful?" Li Daoyuan couldn't help but ask.

Nangong Li shook his head, "Not absolutely. Although ancient treasures have many functions, the treasures are also uneven. It is said that the materials used by ancient monks to refine ancient treasures are extremely special.

Later generations of monks could not find such materials, so they could only improve the refining method, and only then did they have the hierarchical magical weapon system today. "

Nangong Li looked at the ancient treasure path in the niche.

"My knowledge of ancient treasures is also extremely limited. It seems that these treasures have not been used for a long time, and the internal restrictions have automatically entered a sealed state.

It will take some time to crack these seals. Why don't we each pick a few at random, and let Fellow Daoist Ren choose first. "

Li Daoyuan had no objection to Nangong Li's proposal.

Anyway, no one knows the ancient treasures, and they don’t know the power of these sealed ancient treasures. There is not much difference between picking first and then picking.

Zhao Heng was not polite and started picking directly.

He picked up a dagger and was about to examine it carefully when a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

At this time, in Zhao Heng's mind, the "Gate of Apocalypse" that had been resealed trembled slightly.

At the same time, the dice also sounded a beep.

"Astral bioenergy crystals detected."

Zhao Heng calmly put down the dagger in his hand and picked up another ancient treasure shield with a simple shape. The vibration of the Gate of Apocalypse intensified a little, and the same beep sounded from the dice.

Taking several ancient treasures in his hands one by one and looking at them, Zhao Heng finally confirmed one thing.

"It seems that the refining materials for ancient treasures contain astral crystals."

No wonder Nangong Li said that the magical instruments practiced today are different from ancient treasures.

There are no astral cracks in the Southern Territory today, so it is naturally impossible to use astral crystals as raw materials.

As for the origin of these ancient treasures, Zhao Heng remembered what Lu Yan had said.

One hundred thousand years ago, the astral creatures invaded. His true self, the Master of True Martial Arts, repelled the astral creatures at the cost of his death.

Presumably, the refining materials for these ancient treasures are leftover from the ancient times when astral creatures invaded.

This discovery made Zhao Heng extremely excited.

The astral crystal is of great use to him, whether it is opening the door to the apocalypse or transforming and repairing the "God's Sword".

Previously, he was worried that he could not find such resources in the Southern Territory.

On the surface, Zhao Heng did not show any abnormal emotions. After looking at it casually for a moment, he selected three treasures from the nine ancient treasures that made the Gate of Apocalypse more sensitive.

Zhao Heng didn't know the efficacy and ability of these ancient treasures, but the stronger the induction of the Gate of Apocalypse, the more astral crystals it contained.

Nangong Li and Li Daoyuan did not doubt that he was there. After each selecting three ancient treasures, the three of them exited the cave.

"Sect Master, where are we going next?" Li Daoyuan asked.

Nangong Li took out the jade slip and looked at it, then looked at Zhao Heng and said: "Fellow Taoist Ren, heavenly elixirs are hard to come by, and there is no clear mark on the drawing for the time being.

I don’t know what my friend needs. We can go in the direction chosen by our Taoist friend and look for the heavenly elixir along the way. "

Hearing this, Zhao Heng thought briefly.

The map in his hand now is the most complete map that has been explored by the three forces of the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Of course, what he valued most were the marking points passed to him by Di Juekong.

Those were some hidden places that Di Juekong discovered after entering the ancient ruins thousands of years ago. They were suspected to contain hidden places with treasures, or some areas that were in great danger and needed to be avoided.

However, these areas are all deep in the ruins. They are still far away, so you can search other areas with Nangong Li and others first.

After all, the ancient ruins are in great danger, and it would be much more convenient to have the help of a powerful person like Nangong Li in the late Danxia realm.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng immediately said: "I want to find some powerful mysterious fire of heaven and earth to use for cultivation."

Hearing this, Nangong Li's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the secret technique that Zhao Heng had practiced, which had powerful explosive power and could release the mysterious fire of heaven and earth.

"In that case, we will explore the marked points where the fire energy fluctuations occur." Nangong Li immediately suggested.

The three of them reached an agreement and set off immediately, heading towards the nearest marked point where fire energy fluctuations appeared.

This place extends toward the depths of the ruins for thousands of miles.

The three of them harnessed the escaping light and fled in this direction.

Zhao Heng couldn't help but look back and glanced at the cave in the valley.

The weird sense of spying just now appeared again and disappeared in a flash.

Secretly alert in his heart, Zhao Heng continued to move forward calmly.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the ruins marking point, but they did not find any monk caves, only an active volcano, and several extraordinary elixirs grew in the volcano.

The three of them killed some soul beasts, picked the elixir, and immediately set off to the next marked point.

After such in-depth exploration, the three of them explored more than a dozen marked points in just a few days.

In the end, something was gained and the cave ruins of three ancient monks were discovered.

From it, he got a lot of spiritual objects, ancient treasures, and even some ancient books.

These items are indeed valuable, but Nangong Li still didn't get the wood attribute heavenly spiritual medicine he wanted.

Although Zhao Heng also got a few heaven and earth mysterious fires, the most valuable one was only a mysterious fire ranked last in the earth fire list.

It was far from meeting his needs to cultivate the "divine spear body".

Moreover, as the three people explored all the way, they were gradually going deeper into the ruins, and they also had an encounter with the cultivators of the Blood Refining Sect.

Yin Feng took Yin Kuang and Yin Ming to explore deep in the ruins, and unexpectedly, they and Zhao Heng and others took a fancy to the same marked point.

When the three saw Zhao Heng and his three people who arrived first, the atmosphere between the two sides was tense.

But Yin Feng knew that he was weaker than Nangong Li, and Yin Kuang and Yin Ming were both defeated by Ren Woxing.

Although the three were unwilling, they finally chose to retreat on their own initiative.

This episode did not interrupt the search.

As the three continued to go deeper, the probability of encountering the ruins of the ancient ruins monks' caves was also increasing, and the number and quality of treasures in the caves were also gradually improving.

At this time, Zhao Heng and the other two flew out of a cave hidden on a cliff.

The three found another cave of an ancient monk, from which they got a lot of spiritual medicines and ancient treasures, and had a great harvest.

After leaving the cave, they felt the amazing sharpness in the void that tore the air and made the void appear fine textures, and the three frowned slightly.

The deeper they went into the ruins, the sharpness that originated from the center of the ancient ruins also increased exponentially.

Now this forbidden power has a huge sense of oppression on the monks' bodies, and even the Danxia realm monks have begun to be affected.

Li Daoyuan couldn't help but sigh: "The power of this ancient relic is really terrible. After experiencing countless tens of thousands of years, it can still have such power.

Now we have not yet entered the interior of the relic, but we have already suffered such a huge pressure. I am afraid that it will be difficult to explore the core area of ​​the relic in the future."

Nangong Li on the side nodded and said: "The ancient cultivators have unpredictable magical powers. Such a big move is indeed awe-inspiring.

However, although this ancient relic is strong, it has been weakened too much after experiencing too many years. Now the formation masters of my three major alliances are still continuing to activate the Tiangang Star Array to suppress this ancient restriction.

The power of the restriction will shrink and weaken over time, and we can still explore the deepest part."

Zhao Heng also nodded slightly. He also found that as time passed, these sharp auras showed a decreasing trend.

Otherwise, if the power of the ancient restriction was too strong, he would not be able to explore the mark points left by Emperor Juekong for himself.

Even more, he could not complete the task of exploring the core of the relic and receiving the last layer of things.

At this time, Nangong Li took out the jade slip again and looked to the west of the deep ruins.

"Four thousand miles away, there is a marked point with extremely strong fire attribute fluctuations. It is also one of the marked points with the strongest energy fluctuations marked by my Demonic Alliance."

Although the formation masters of the three major alliances all secretly drew the blueprint through the Tiangang Star Array and "marked the key points" for each of them.

But because the ancient restrictions were too powerful, the internal area of ​​the ruins could not be explored.

Now, the remaining few marked points on the blueprint are all close to the internal area of ​​the ruins, and the energy fluctuations are particularly intense.

Because of the decreasing energy of the ancient restrictions, even Danxia Realm cultivators had difficulty exploring this place before.

Unless there is a great power in the Divine Infant Realm who picked the peaches in advance, this place should not be taken by others first.

After a brief rest, the three did not stay too long, and rushed to the marked point against the erosion of the sharp spirit.

Even though the ancient restrictions suppressed the speed of escape and slowed it down a lot, the three finally arrived near the marked point on the second day.

This place is a seemingly barren mountain area.

There is no grass growing between the mountains and rivers, but there is a majestic and pure fire elemental power fluctuation.

Zhao Heng clearly felt that the Wuji Jinyan in his body became a little agitated after arriving here.

This was the first time this happened. He concluded that there must be a mysterious fire of heaven and earth here, and its power was probably not less than that of Wuji Jinyan.

Secretly excited, Zhao Heng and his three friends searched around and finally found a mountain gate restriction at the foot of a mountain in the center of the mountains.

There is indeed an ancient cultivator's cave here, and the restriction is secret and complete.

The three of them took action at will and tested the power of the restriction, which was surprisingly strong.

All this made the three more excited, just when they wanted to take action to break the restriction.

"Hmm?"

Nangong Li and Zhao Heng looked up almost at the same time and looked at a certain place in the void.

Then, Li Daoyuan also noticed it.

"Swoosh!"

A moment later, in the void to the west, several rays of light flew across the sky like sword shadows, and in a moment, appeared above the three people.

"Hmm?"

When they saw the clothes of the people coming and the sharp and strong aura emanating from their bodies, the expressions of the three people changed slightly.

"Hunyuan Sword Sect!"

The people coming were actually the leaders of the righteous path, four Danxia realm masters of Hunyuan Sword Sect.

"It turned out to be the leader of the Yaoyue Sect of the Demonic Path, and the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect. It's really fate that we can meet here."

The leader of Hunyuan Sword Sect was a middle-aged man with white temples, sword eyebrows and square face, and extraordinary demeanor.

His eyes were bright, and looking into his eyes, it was as if there was a flash of light shooting, which made people's eyes hurt. He was also a late Danxia realm master.

"So you are the Grand Elder of Hunyuan Sword Sect. I didn't expect you to also take a fancy to this mark point."

Yaoyue Zong glanced at the other four people and spoke calmly.

The blueprints of the three alliances were all detected through the Tiangang Star Array. The closer to the depth of the ruins, the higher the probability of the overlap of the three marks.

Obviously, this mark point overlaps with the Hunyuan Sword Sect.

Zhao Heng also glanced at the four people of Hunyuan Sword Sect.

Nangong Li secretly introduced the four people to him.

Except for the middle-aged man, the other three were the two Grand Elders of Hunyuan Sword Sect and a Grand Guest.

Among the two Grand Elders, a handsome young man with a handsome face like jade was the newly promoted Danxia Realm master "Zong Wuhen" of Hunyuan Sword Sect.

Righteous cultivators often compare this man with Ren Woxing and Ding Chunqiu.

The two paths of righteousness and evil are enemies. When the two sides met, the atmosphere became tense and filled with smoke.

But at this moment, Zhao Heng's eyes suddenly moved slightly, and he glanced at the void in the east.

A moment later.

A sound of breaking air sounded in the void.

Both sides cast their concerned eyes at the same time.

In the distance, four more escape lights were seen, flying from afar.

The leader was burly, with thick eyebrows and beard, and his aura was as strong as a mountain. His cultivation reached the late Danxia realm.

Behind him followed two men and one woman, one of whom was wearing a green robe, with a slightly dark complexion and a stern expression. It was "Ding Chunqiu", one of the three newly promoted third-level masters in the Southern Region.

"The Loose Cultivator Alliance is here too!"
