751. Chapter 749: There are seven directions to choose from in the room.

He took a deep breath and decided to first look for that mysterious object.

After carefully observing his surroundings, he discovered that the room had seven possible directions.

After a moment of thought, Lu Yuan decided to head east first.

Sure enough, at the end of the eastern corridor, he found an ancient chest.

The chest was engraved with exquisite patterns and mysterious symbols.

It seemed this was where the mysterious object was located.

Lu Yuan stepped up to the chest and stopped, not rushing to open it, but instead scanning the surroundings to check for any mechanisms or traps.

After ensuring safety, he prepared to open the chest.

However, as he reached out to touch the chest, a violent tremor shook the entire room.

Caught in battle, he had no time to think, and his vision went black.

When he awoke again, he found himself lying in a completely different place.

The room was tall and spacious, filled with luxurious wallpaper and opulent gold and jade decorations.

Lu Yuan immediately realized this was the destination of the teleportation array hidden inside the chest.

He understood that only by finding the mysterious object hidden here and passing through this teleportation array could he return to the ruins' entrance.

He began to look around for clues.

Just as he walked to the window to view the outside scenery, he suddenly heard a soft laugh.

"It seems you've finally woken up."

A female voice came from behind him.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw a beautiful, alluring woman standing at the room's doorway.

She emanated a faint purple light from her whole body.

"Who are you? Why have you trapped me here?"

Lu Yuan asked, his gaze fixed on the mysterious woman before him.

The woman smiled, approached, and sat down beside him.

"I am one of the ruins' guardians, Zi Cui Ling."

"Not long ago, another cultivator broke in here, trying to seize the treasures of the ruins."

"Unfortunately, he failed." She spoke in a relaxed, carefree tone.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment before reluctantly accepting the situation.

Since Zi Cui Ling is one of the ruins' guardians, she must know all the secrets of this place.

"Miss Zi Cui Ling, do you know anything about this mysterious object and the teleportation array?"

Lu Yuan asked bluntly.

Zi Cui Ling smiled and nodded, "Of course, I know every secret here."

She rose and went to the window, gazing at the red leaves drifting outside.

"Then, how do we use this teleportation array?"

Lu Yuan looked at her with a solemn gaze.

Zi Cui Ling turned to face him, "You need to find the seven divine artifacts and place them in specific positions to activate the teleportation array and return to the ruins' entrance."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan secretly thought: "Indeed, it's not simple."

But even knowing the difficulty was great, he had no intention of giving up.

He thanked Zi Cui Ling again, then turned and walked deeper into the room.

This time, he would rely on his superb Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Formation to locate the exact positions of the seven divine artifacts.

Before the ruined palace, Lu Yuan halted his steps.

He looked around and saw that although the palace was dilapidated, it still exuded an ancient, mysterious aura.

At the same time, the protective formation guarding the ruins' outskirts was under attack by forces such as the Blood Moon Sect and the Youhun Sect.

Although these formations had developed loopholes due to long-term neglect, they still required considerable effort to breach.

Lu Yuan understood that now was his opportunity to further explore.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he resolutely decided to head toward the direction where he sensed the mysterious object.

Passing through the palace's main gate, Lu Yuan discovered a door that appeared ordinary but concealed a mechanism.

He lightly touched the runes on the door and immediately felt a biting chill.

"Su Liyan, do you have a way to unlock this mechanism?"

Lu Yuan turned to Su Liyan, who had followed him, and asked.

Su Liyan furrowed her brows slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I can try, but this mechanism seems related to ice."

"I need to gather the power of ice immortal arts to unlock it."

Having said that, Su Liyan formed seals with both hands, and streaks of icy blue light flickered across her body.

She tightly closed her eyes, fully concentrating on controlling the ice immortal arts.

Gradually, under Su Liyan's control, a huge ice crystal appeared before the palace gate.

Lu Yuan saw swirling cold air floating within the ice crystal, as if a bone‑chilling wind were blowing.

Then, amid Su Liyan's soft murmurs, the ice crystal began to spin.

It emitted multicolored light and swiftly flew toward the runes on the door.

When the ice crystal struck the door's runes, a powerful burst of energy erupted.

Immediately, the door slowly opened.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan exchanged a glance, then stepped in step through the opened gate.

The interior of the palace appeared even more vast and magnificent.

Elaborate murals still lingered on the walls, and a mysterious stone platform stood in the center of the palace.

"This dilapidated palace actually possesses such gorgeous and solemn interior."

Zi Xi'er walked drunkenly to the center of the palace.

"This is likely the core of the ruins."

Lu Yuan cautiously sensed the surrounding aura.

Lu Yuan hurriedly controlled his steps, rushing quickly toward the Transmission Hall.

He knew that precious cultivation techniques and mysterious items were stored there, and if the practitioners of the Black Flame Sect and Red Lotus Sect seized them first, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When he arrived at the Transmission Hall, he happened to see sixteen Void Refinement experts jointly attacking the formation.

Lu Yuan immediately sensed the chaotic energy fluctuations in the space, which were signs that the large formation leading to the core region was gradually revealing cracks.

"Ice Crystal Long Whip!"

Su Liyan also quickly followed and arrived at the Transmission Hall; the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand instantly turned into a cold light.

She swung the whip, knocking back one of the Black Flame Sect disciples.

"We must seize those items quickly!"

Lu Yuan sent a mental transmission to Su Liyan, saying.

Su Liyan nodded, knowing the situation before them was extremely dangerous.

The two tacitly split up, simultaneously searching every part of the Transmission Hall.

Lu Yuan leapt into the air, quickly scanning the storage rooms where techniques and items were kept.

Suddenly, he noticed a dark corner where a faint light seeped out.

He swiftly landed and opened the door of that storage room.

Before him lay a small secret chamber, inside which lay a dragon bone box and several ancient scriptures.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed; he immediately stored these precious items in his storage bag.

Just as he was about to leave, a cold chuckle sounded.

"Lu Yuan, do you think you can easily seize these treasures?"

Lu Yuan instantly became alert, seeing two Black Flame Sect disciples appear at the secret chamber's entrance.

"Black Flame Sect! You dare not stop me!"

Lu Yuan drew the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, his body flashing with thunder and fire light. (End of chapter)
