Chapter 1894: Tian Gu Ruins Open

After conversing with Wang Dun for a while, He Pingsheng understood more about the situation inside the Tian Gu Ruins.

The Tian Gu Ruins open only once every several thousand epochs.

Each opening lasts only five hundred years!

Five hundred years may seem long, but in reality, for cultivators of the Divine Control realm, it is almost not enough.

Even if you rush at full speed, five hundred years is not enough for you to explore even one-tenth of the entire Mystic Realm.

Therefore, upon entering, one must have a specific target.

Besides the items Wang Dun mentioned, there is another kind of heaven-and-earth treasure in the ruins that makes He Pingsheng somewhat yearn for it.

It is something that grows in dark places, said to resemble wood ear fungus, large as a plate, named 【Four Gates of Hell】.

Because its appearance especially resembles a kind of meat, it is also jokingly called 【Gu Lu Rou】 by people in the Divine Realm.

Gu Lu Rou, the name looks ordinary, but in reality it is a top-tier heaven-and-earth treasure of the Divine Realm.

It belongs to the third tier.

After swallowing it, it can raise the cultivation of a Lower God of the 【Divine Control realm】.

Not a slow increase, but a one-time direct elevation.

If one can swallow a complete Gu Lu Rou, it can let a Lower God of the Divine Control realm directly rise by one to three layers of cultivation at once.

For example, He Pingsheng is currently at the fourth layer of the Divine Control realm.

After swallowing Gu Lu Rou, he can at least directly rise to the fifth layer.

If lucky, he might reach the seventh layer in one go.

Even faster than cultivating the Xiang Huo Dao, and without any negative side effects.

The key is, this Gu Lu Rou is not as hard to find as the 【Nine Aperture Exquisite】 Wang Dun spoke of.

It grows throughout the entire Mystic Realm; overall, it is easy to find.

Almost every time the ruins open, quite a few people find Gu Lu Rou.

After exchanging pleasantries, He Pingsheng gave Wang Dun some third-tier divine talismans, then they temporarily parted ways, and he began strolling around the plaza.

Nothing more than browsing the stalls here to see if he could buy some practical things.

Thus he waited for about a month; as the day the Tian Gu Ruins would open drew nearer, more and more people gathered on the plaza.

One day, a powerhouse wearing a red Daoist robe suddenly descended from the void, landing in the void above this plaza.

"Everyone!" It was a woman; she glanced coldly at the crowd and then said: "The Tian Gu Ruins are about to open; this seat is the person in charge of this opening of the Divine Control realm ruins!"

The woman was not alone; behind her were another eight Middle Gods.

These eight people all stood behind her, following her lead alone.

"You may call me 【Starlight God King】!"

As the woman's words fell, countless people were shocked.

Hiss hiss hiss...

A God King!

Heavens!

This woman is actually a God King?

He Pingsheng stopped his steps, standing among the countless people; he raised his head to look at that God King.

The Starlight God King continued: "There are a few points of caution you must know; this palace will only make a brief statement!"

"First... the Tian Gu Ruins are extremely dangerous!"

"The probability of perishing exceeds eighty percent; this is no joke, it is real!"

"If anyone among you wishes to withdraw, when the ruins' gate opens, you must turn back!"

"Second, the entire interior of the ruins is connected... although you are on the Divine Control side, this Divine Control side will ultimately converge with the Divine Spirit side!"

"And the Divine Spirit side will ultimately merge into the Divine Monarch side!"

"In one sentence: without sufficient strength, you may only dip your toes; it is not recommended for Lower Gods of the low-realm side to go to the Middle God side!"

"Although the entire interior of the ruins is connected, the outside is sealed shut!"

"Here, all Divine Sense transmission is forbidden, all Chuan Xin Shen Fu are forbidden!"

"Some people might think that because their clan has a God King, God Emperor, or even a God Emperor, they can save your lives in danger!"

"I tell you, impossible!"

"Even the Divine Sense of a Titled God Emperor cannot penetrate the formation light membrane outside the Tian Gu Ruins to see anything inside!"

"Third, all items you obtain in the ruins belong entirely to the individual; God Emperors will not take a single fraction!"

"Finally, after the opening time ends, the ruins' gate will automatically close; all divine beings still inside the ruins will be teleported out."

"Hold tight to the 【Tian Gu Token】 in your hands; activate it only after leaving the ruins, and it can teleport you to your own clan!"

"Remember, do not activate it inside the ruins!"

"Otherwise, not only will it fail to teleport you back to your clan, once you come out of the Tian Gu Ruins, this Tian Gu Token will also become unusable!"

"Remember, remember!"

"Yes..." The crowd one by one cupped their fists toward the Starlight God King, "Many thanks, God King my lord!"

"Good!" The Starlight God King took a deep breath and took out a black token.

This token was extremely exaggerated; a single token was one zhang in size.

Behind the woman, the other eight Middle Gods each also took out a token about one zhang in size.

Rumble...

The power of the nine people separately burst forth from the nine tokens, converging in the void.

Nine streams of divine power merged into one, then transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang nine-colored light that rushed into the void.

In the seemingly empty void, a light membrane suddenly emerged.

Boundless divine power, borrowing the force of the light membrane for a single reflection, slammed into that golden high wall He Pingsheng had seen earlier.

That was not a golden high wall, but the manifestation revealed after the boundless formation light membrane projected within a limited area.

The golden divine wall trembled violently, and then a gap ten thousand zhang in diameter was torn open on the light membrane.

The gap presented a vortex shape, and nine-colored divine light emanated from within.

"Stop..."

The woman shouted loudly, and the tokens in everyone's hands ceased outputting divine power, yet this vortex did not close.

The Starlight God King said: "Enough... you may enter..."

"This opening of the Ancient Heaven Ruins lasts five hundred years!"

"Go!"

As the God King's words fell, countless streaks of light rose up, one by one flying into that vortex.

He Pingsheng, however, was not in a hurry.

He was searching everywhere for Wang Dun.

"Junior Brother He... I'm here..."

"Go..." Wang Dun also transformed into a streak of light and flew up.

He Pingsheng brought Han Houzhi and several others along to follow.

In an instant, they passed through the vortex.

When crossing the vortex, He Pingsheng felt as if he had entered another world.

"Heh..." After landing, Wang Dun looked around and said: "No wonder that Starlight God King just said even a Titled God Emperor cannot see the situation inside!"

"Did you all feel it!"

"That vortex just now carried a Divine Sense restriction!"

"Here and the outside are practically two different worlds!"

Everyone nodded.

He Pingsheng felt the same way.

Hearing Wang Dun's words, a flash of inspiration struck his heart.

Earlier He Pingsheng had wanted to throw that drop of water into the Ju Ju Bao Pen, but he worried he would be seen by the surrounding powerhouses.

Now it was fine!

No need to worry anymore!

He Pingsheng raised his head and glanced at the vortex.

Within the vortex, people were still flying in continuously; his Divine Sense stirred slightly, and he secretly sent that drop of water into the Ju Ju Bao Pen.
