The lair of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is very large, even larger than the lair of the six major forces combined. After all, it is the lair of a cultivation force that has existed for countless years, during which a strong man at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor was born. The lair of a cultivation force of this level is naturally huge. Precisely because the lair of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is so huge, even if it is broken, a piece of the old nest can form a huge relic.
But it is precisely because the lair of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is too huge that what can really help Yang Qi at his level are the opportunities left behind after the death of those Martial Emperor-level strongmen. The broken forest in front of him is obviously just the outermost decoration of the lair, and naturally there is no way any precious opportunities can be left.
Because they couldn't fly, Yang Qi and his companions had to travel on the ground. All they saw was a scene of ruin. Who could have imagined that these ruins were the lair of an extremely powerful cultivation force countless years ago
As Yang Qi hurried on, he observed the surroundings, his brows slightly furrowed, and he muttered to himself, "Strange!"
"Have you discovered it?" Morton on the side didn't seem to be surprised at all.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi did not hide his doubts and said directly, "The ruins in front of us clearly looked like they had experienced a fierce battle, but there were no traces of the battle left, as if they were affected by the residual power."
That’s right, all we saw along the way were ruins and devastated scenes, but the problem is that among these wastes and broken lands, there were no signs of any fighting between strong men.
The Martial Emperor realm is indeed very powerful, and the power of his attacks can easily spread over a million feet. Therefore, it is very common for battles at the Martial Emperor realm to affect an area of several million feet.
But the problem is, even if the impact spread over millions of feet, there would be traces of battle. However, in the ruins before our eyes, all we can see are ruins and broken earth, but no traces of battle at all.
One must know that the area that Yang Qi and the other two had passed through was beyond the range of ordinary fighting among Martial Emperors. However, in such a vast area, there was not even a trace of fighting between strong men. This was too abnormal.
"The ruins of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect are very strange. Although it looks like a fierce war broke out, after a careful investigation, no traces of a war can be found at all." Morton nodded slightly.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that a strong person above the peak of Martial Emperor, or even a strong person at the third level of the peak of Martial Emperor, took action to cause this?"
However, as soon as he said this, Yang Qi denied it. It's not like he had never seen a peak Martial Emperor take action, but at least a cultivator at the level of Emperor Yunkong would never be able to do this. As for other peak Martial Emperors, although they are much stronger than ordinary peak Martial Emperors, it is still impossible for them to do this.
Yang Qi had never seen a Martial Emperor at the third level of peak strength take action, so he didn't know how powerful the opponent's attack was. But even if he was a Martial Emperor at the third level of peak strength, he was still only at the Martial Emperor level. It seemed unlikely that he could have such power with just his residual power.
"I don't know about that. After the destruction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect in the nearby star field, no more Martial Emperor peak powerhouses were born. The strongest was only a mid-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor." Morton smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued, "I have lived for tens of millions of years, and I have never seen a Martial Emperor peak powerhouse take action."
Although Morton lived much longer than Yang Qi, he had limited talent and potential, and a weak background. He was simply unable to reach the peak of the Martial Emperor. In this regard, his knowledge was not as good as Yang Qi's.
Yang Qi looked towards the depths of the ruins, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "I am a little curious about how the Wanxian Sect was destroyed."
Yang Qi originally guessed that the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was destroyed by the Immortal Temple, but now he doesn't think so. The Immortal Temple is indeed very powerful, but even the Immortal Temple can hardly destroy the lair of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect without any rumors. Moreover, the Immortal Temple mainly relies on practitioners to take action, just like when it destroyed the Dionysus Palace, the Immortal Temple sent a large number of Martial Emperors to take action. Although the strength crushed the Dionysus Palace, a fierce battle broke out, not to mention the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. It is impossible to say that there are no traces of the battle left.
"Brother Xuxing, you are not the only one who is curious about this. Unfortunately, many relics of the Wanxian Sect have been unearthed over the years, but the reason why the sect's old nest was destroyed has never been found." Morton sighed slightly.
The Wanxian Sect was such a powerful cultivation force, but its home base was destroyed in a short time. How could other forces not be curious? Even after experiencing the chaos of the past, the practitioners who followed had investigated the matter, but unfortunately there was no substantial gain. The reason for the destruction of the Wanxian Sect is the biggest unsolved mystery in the nearby star field!
As Yang Qi and his companions went deeper, they finally saw the ruins of buildings. These ruins were intertwined with the broken earth. Yang Qi and his companions could only rely on their perception to search and explore.
Boom!
Not far away, a loud noise was heard, and then a figure flew out from the ground, holding a handful of broken Taoist weapons in his hand. It was Morton who had sneaked underground.
Morton looked at the broken Taoist soldiers in his hand and said helplessly, "This should be the residential area for Martial Emperor Realm practitioners. The Taoist soldiers are mainly high-quality Taoist soldiers, and there are also some broken storage rings. The harvest is not too big."
“Although they are broken Taoist soldiers, their value is still not low given their large number.” Yang Qi smiled indifferently, moved his hand, and handed some of the substantial cultivation resources he had obtained before to Morton.
Morton put away the broken Taoist soldiers, looked at Yang Qi, and said with a wry smile, "I feel like I'm almost a rag picker now."
"If you don't want it, you can leave it to me. I haven't gained anything so far." Yang Qi curled his lips.
Although he also found some treasures such as inheritance crystals in this area, the problem was that all the people living in this area were at the Martial Emperor level. The inheritance crystals left by the Martial Emperor level were of no great value to Yang Qi.
On the contrary, those broken Taoist weapons seem to have greatly reduced value, but their number is too large. The materials for refining middle and upper-quality Taoist weapons are extremely precious. Even if they are recycled and reforged, the value of these broken Taoist weapons is still not low.
In this area alone, the scraps that Morton harvested were worth as much as a few ordinary high-grade Taoist weapons. And this was just a relatively small residential area for Martial Emperor realm practitioners in the ruins before him. If there were a few more such residential areas, there would probably be even top-grade Taoist weapons.
"Brother Xuxing, you don't think much of these things." Morton said with a chuckle.
Yang Qi was speechless when he heard this. If he had not already sworn the Blood Oath of Tao, these rags would have been quite attractive to him. (To be continued)
