Chapter 993: Chapter 263: Chief Engineer of Ancient Immortal Ruins (6000)_2

In the four directions of the plain, there are mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, and swamps. In the distant sky, there are numerous remnants of fortresses from the Ancient Immortal Era, some as massive as mountains, floating up and down in waves between the sky and the ground. In the boundless sea of clouds, one can occasionally see large, inverted metal bases. Looking up from below, they resemble the pupils of a giant metal god, continuously contracting.

Some are only as large as human towns, not even comparable to some Void Battleships. These are the targets of many adventurous cultivators—if someone could gain control of a small Sky Fortress, whether to sell it to a corporation or use it as a base for their team for analysis and research, the benefits and Good Deeds they could gain would be vast.

The base of Steel Skeleton and his team is not here but located on a small hill near the mountains on the north side of the plain. It takes An Jing and others half an hour by flying shuttle to reach. The journey is quite peaceful, with abundant and harmonious Spirit Qi. Even Nian Quan and Huo Qing, who enjoy the Seclusion Room of the Third Middle School’s Spirit Gathering Array, can’t help but cultivate cross-legged within the flying shuttle, filled with emotion.

"This Spirit Qi is so fresh!"

A shimmering phenomenon appeared around Nian Quan, his Heavenly Water Spiritual Root operating at full power, causing a deep blue water glow to faintly appear at the tips of his hair: "Compared to the Ancient Immortal Ruins, the cities are no different from rural areas!"

"No wonder the books always say that the Tianyuan Realm is still in the stage of ’the aftermath of the end times, with hundreds of industries waiting to thrive.’

Although Huo Qing wasn’t as exaggerated, he was also absorbing Spirit Qi quickly due to his Fate Pattern: "If it were the Dao Court Era, where the whole world was like the Ancient Immortal Ruins, then our current situation is indeed no different from a post-apocalyptic wasteland."

"Actually."

Subdue Evil said: "The Spirit Qi of the Dao Court Era could only be more abundant. Although the Spirit Qi in this Ancient Immortal Ruin is dense, I feel it has a bit of stagnant air, lacking vitality..."

"In summary, it’s still not top-notch. According to our standards from that time, this would be a ’barely good’ at best, let alone excellent, and even good is a stretch. The environmental director would have to answer for it."

Apparently, this is something people today cannot imagine.

Soon, amidst cultivation, as the flying shuttle gradually descended, everyone arrived at Steel Skeleton’s team’s base.

This is a simple fortress camp, but in the center stands a very advanced Spiritual Network tower. Mercenaries come and go within the camp, with each team returning from a mission and another team taking their place to explore further and build more forward bases.

"I’ll leave Qu Tong to you."

An Jing saw that the cocoon state formed by Qu Tong’s condensation was very stable. The power of the Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao seemed to be at play even in the Ancient Immortal Ruins—he wasn’t sure what power Qu Tong received from the Tianyuan Heavenly Dao, so he directly entrusted it to Steel Skeleton, who seemed to have discerned something.

Patting him on the shoulder, An Jing communicated with Steel Skeleton through physical contact: [Don’t worry, if you want to report to the Guiyi Army, just report normally... The force backing me... no, my purpose, as I said, is to discipline the ethos of this world]

[Although until now, I don’t know the true purpose of the Guiyi Army, nor whether you are really worthy of the word ’Righteous,’ but you can show me]

Arrogant.

Yet not arrogant.

Steel Skeleton was well aware that the reason An Jing’s attitude ’changed’ greatly, besides having reached the realm of True Person, must also be that his backing decided to fully support him.

Behind the other party, there must be a Golden Core True Monarch, but looking at this current posture... could it be, there’s a Dao Fetus Nascent Soul, a Heavenly Lord overseeing?!

If not, how could An Jing wield the power of Divine Enthronement with such legacy!

But how could this be... with heaven and earth shattered, not to mention a Dao Fetus Heavenly Lord, even Golden Core True Monarchs have to patrol following the Network Path to maintain the Heaven and Earth Law... why?

[I understand]

But these were not something he could guess, so Steel Skeleton nodded and instructed several subordinates to take Qu Tong to the Seclusion Room, then led An Jing and others to the consulting room.

Here, he showed An Jing the location of what seemed to be a Void Rift created by a True Dragon they discovered.

[The rift is located deep within the mountains, inside a collapsed peak]

Steel Skeleton said: [We noticed that the collapse of that peak was unnatural, so we sent a team skilled in the Earth Escape Technique to investigate, and they discovered this rift within the shattered mountain]

[This rift is enormous, wide enough to accommodate ten flying shuttles side by side, and over a hundred feet tall. The Power of Great Void within is exceedingly terrifying, making it very difficult for us to enter]

On the screen, the collapsed mountain did not transform into typical debris but rather formed a peculiar ring-shaped mountain, with the center of the ring being the enormous, faintly visible Void Rift, continuously pulling in soil and rock. Various data about this Void Rift was displayed nearby. Without specialized equipment, it would require at least a Purple Mansion True Man to go in and out.

[Indeed, it’s the aura of Yun Ying!]

Though very far for Steel Skeleton and others, for Xiyi Heavenly Monarch, seeing the ring-shaped mountain, one thought with his Divine Sense was enough to locate the Void Rift, and subsequently, after An Jing hinted ’we’re going to transmit now,’ amidst Steel Skeleton’s extreme shock, Nian Quan and Huo Qing’s surprise, yet not astonishment, everyone was instantly transferred from Steel Skeleton’s base to the vicinity of the ring-shaped mountain.
