Chapter 230: Inviting Jiang Feng

Long Bad Dao couldn't help but click his tongue, eyes bulging round, muttering nonstop.

"It's actually a Wu Zun Ruins! This is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity!"

He paced back and forth in place, excited.

Wu Zun is the Supreme of martial Dao, the ultimate of human cultivation; legend says that above Grand Master lies the Heavenly Realm, and only the pinnacle among the Heavens can be called Wu Zun.

To break the void and become immortal or Buddha, the first step is to step into Wu Zun!

Thus ever since, Wu Zun has been the peak of the mortal world.

Jiang Feng heard that, his eyes flickered, and a considerable ripple rose in his heart.

His master Xuan Yuan Zhenren is exactly the Realm of Martial Ancestor.

Before departing, his master had specially said that throughout the Jianghu for a thousand years, fewer than a hundred have attained Wu Zun.

Moreover, most come from Long Family, a hidden lineage spanning millennia, or from ancient sects like Qingxiao Sect; a Free Cultivator reaching the Wu Zun Realm is as rare as phoenix feathers.

If these ruins were left by those major forces' Wu Zun, Yitian Pavilion would certainly not dare to monopolize them.

That means only one possibility: this is the ruins of a Free Cultivator Wu Zun!

If true, Yitian Pavilion would make a fortune!

A Wu Zun Ruins hides a lifetime of cultivation insights and amassed wealth, perhaps even rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

If this Wu Zun failed to break the void and ultimately perished within the ruins, it could have left his entire lifelong inheritance there!

In that case, not only Yitian Pavilion, even those hidden families and ancient sects would be scrambling headlong.

A complete Wu Zun inheritance could directly forge a new top sect school, far beyond what a single faction can swallow.

Sure enough, Elder Ge's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"This ruin was discovered in Shen Nong Valley of Jiangnan Xiangcheng. Besides Yitian Pavilion, the local hidden family Qin Family had long known about it; now the news cannot be concealed, many hidden families and ancient sects have been alarmed, dispatching people to Xiangcheng in haste."

He paused, then gave Jiang Feng a deep look.

"According to the predictive method in Yitian Pavilion's ancient texts, this should be the ruins of a Free Cultivator Wu Zun. So far we only know this Wu Zun is titled Heavenly Eye Wu Zun, other details remain vague. However one thing is certain: this Heavenly Eye Wu Zun excels in Formation Technique, and the ruins are surely filled with myriad mysterious and dangerous formation traps…"

"So entering this ruin could even lead to death…"

Upon hearing that, Long Bad Dao waved his hand indifferently.

"Damn! To seek opportunity, how can one fear death?"

This made Elder Ge smile.

Indeed, fearing death is useless for cultivation.

"Thus this time all factions, after urgent consultation, finally set the rules…"

"The first discoverers, Yitian Pavilion and Qin Family, each send four Grand Masters; other participating factions each send two Grand Masters, forming teams to explore the ruins, each relying on their own abilities for any gains."

At this point, Elder Ge deliberately glanced at Long Bad Dao.

Long Bad Dao raised an eyebrow, grinned nonchalantly.

"Needn't say, surely our old master thought sending only two Grand Masters wouldn't reap much benefit, a bit of a loss, so let me represent Yitian Pavilion and fill the numbers, okay?"

His mind was as clear as a polished mirror.

Although Long Family is powerful, with so many factions this time, offering only two slots indeed doesn't give an advantage.

Letting him join Yitian Pavilion's team both fills Yitian Pavilion's numbers and gives Long Family an extra entry slot, a win‑win.

Elder Ge smiled, nodded, his eyes sparkling.

"Brother Long, indeed clever. To be frank, Yitian Pavilion has been busy establishing Fen Ge everywhere lately, and we truly cannot muster four Grand Masters at once. Your joining is mutually beneficial; whatever you find inside, your rightful share will not be short."

Having said that, Elder Ge's gaze turned to Jiang Feng, with a hint of expectation.

"Mr. Jiang, your strength is unfathomable, far surpassing ordinary Grand Masters. If you are willing, Yitian Pavilion is ready to offer a slot to enter the ruins, letting you explore together."

Jiang Feng heard this, a faint smile tugged at his mouth.

"So then? What must I give to go in?"

There is no free lunch in the world; Yitian Pavilion cannot grant such a great opportunity to an outsider for nothing.

He knew clearly there must be conditions.

After all, if Yitian Pavilion tossed out this chance, countless Grand Masters outside would fight tooth and nail for it.

Elder Ge shook his head.

"You needn't give anything. All the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside the ruins, if you seize them, are yours; Yitian Pavilion takes nothing. But if you encounter any cultivation techniques, you only need to provide Yitian Pavilion with a copy for our records."

This condition can be said to be quite generous.

Long Bad Dao, upon hearing, immediately came over, patting Jiang Feng's shoulder.

"Brother Jiang, this is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime boon! The Wu Zun Ruins are full of treasures; miss it and the chance is gone! With me by your side, the two of us together can overcome even the toughest formation traps!"

He truly admired Jiang Feng's strength from the bottom of his heart.

If he could team up with Jiang Feng, they'd surely gain many advantages inside the ruins, perhaps even obtain the Heavenly Eye Wu Zun's inheritance, which would be a huge profit.

After all, being from a hidden family himself, he knows well the strength of those Grand Masters.

If he were alone, he would indeed feel a bit intimidated.

Elder Ge, fearing Jiang Feng might worry about safety, added another sentence.

"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, we have already agreed with other factions that after entering the ruins, no internal conflict is allowed. Moreover, Yitian Pavilion will guarantee your safety throughout; should you choose to join, we can immediately arrange the necessary matters."

Jiang Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondering silently.

He wasn't particularly interested in the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the Wu Zun Ruins, but the Heavenly Eye Wu Zun's mastery of Formation Technique sparked his interest.

Although his cultivated techniques are profound, he has little experience with Formation Techniques; obtaining a Wu Zun's formation inheritance would be an advancement for him.

Seeing the hopeful gazes before him, Jiang Feng gave a faint smile and slowly nodded.

"Very well, then I shall accept graciously…"

With those words, Elder Ge and Duanmu Ya also wore smiles on their faces.

Duanmu Ya whispered a sentence to Jiang Feng.

"Mr. Jiang, as far as I know, the Qingxiao Sect this Time will also send people."

When those words were spoken, Jiang Feng's eyes instantly lit up.

Qingxiao Sect?

That girl Lin Qinghan will also come?
