Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 210 The Mystery of the Ruins, Sacred Runes Appear!

"You really didn't do it on purpose, Saintess?"

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he had known all along that the Holy Maiden was here. Although Gu Jiancheng did not know that the Holy Maiden was inside the altar before, he would eventually take action.

He guessed right after all.

Otherwise, you'll waste your trump cards.

Moreover, he did not want to expose his Yin-Yang Qi in front of the Holy Maiden of the Lotus Pavilion. The Lotus Pavilion was very likely to have a deep relationship with the Supreme Holy Dao Palace. Before figuring out the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, Gu Jiancheng was quite cautious.

"Of course not. This half-saint is indeed almost immortal. If I hadn't taken control of the altar's array, I might not have been able to save you."

At this moment, the Holy Maiden Xuanji smiled and raised her hand to take a blood-red bead out of the lotus lantern.

Gu Jiancheng's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing this scene.

This half-saint possessed extraordinary combat power, and the crimson baleful aura contained within his body was naturally extremely dense.

The scene before him confirmed Gu Jiancheng's earlier guess: the Lotus Pavilion Saintess had come to Guixu, most likely to search for this scarlet evil energy.

"Of course, you got here much faster than I expected."

"Even someone at the Refinement Realm can fight a Half-Saint."

The Holy Maiden Xuanji looked at Gu Jiancheng and smiled.

"She's still no match for the Saintess."

Gu Jiancheng smiled. When he saw this Holy Maiden in front of the Taiji Sect before, she was only at the half-step Dao Integration Realm, but now she has broken through to the late stage of Dao Integration!

At such a young age, he has already reached the late stage of Dao Integration. It probably won't be long before he can break through to the Half-Saint realm, right?

That's really a bit perverted.

"You don't need to be modest."

The Holy Maiden Xuanji smiled, then raised her hand and brought the huge corpse above her head to her front, continuing to absorb the scarlet baleful energy within it.

Then, with a flick of her finger, she sent the essence within to Gu Jiancheng.

"Your sword is quite good; this is something you should need."

"Thanks!" Gu Jiancheng smiled, then used the Dragon Sword to absorb the spirit directly.

"Saintess Xuanji, where exactly is this place? And what are these two creatures?"

"Moreover, didn't my master say that there might be the mark of a Holy King and Holy Runes in this Ruins of Return?"

Gu Jiancheng swallowed a mouthful of pills and quickly asked.

Now he is full of doubts.

"It's a long story, come with me!"

The Holy Maiden Xuanji pursed her lips, then led Gu Jiancheng to the altar and entered its inner space.

Inside the space, Gu Jiancheng saw the maid who had been following the Holy Maiden Xuanji all along. This little girl seemed to be inseparable from the Holy Maiden Xuanji.

When Gu Jiancheng looked at the center of the space, his expression changed slightly.

Finally, in the deepest part of this chaotic war zone, the Nine Dragons Coffin was seen again.

However, the ancient coffin before him was much larger than any he had seen before.

The nine dragons were no longer chains; they looked more like the remains of real dragons, tightly binding the bronze coffin.

Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but feel excited. He could finally complete the first level of the Rising Dragon Transformation this time, right?

"Those two outside are intruders from the Ruins of Return. They are cultivators from ancient times who came here only to seek inheritance. Although they are neither good nor evil, they have committed a great deal of killing."

At this moment, the Holy Maiden Xuanji looked at the nine dragons entwined around the coffin, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and said softly, "But in the end, they did not obtain the true opportunity, and gradually they were controlled by the scarlet evil energy, turning into vengeful monsters."

"So what exactly is this Guixu?"

"How is the scarlet aura generated?"

Gu Jiancheng asked again.

Even though Gu Jiancheng considered himself very clever, he still couldn't find any clues within this Ruins of Return. The only written record was the first level of the Ascending Dragon Transformation, which was written on the dragon bones.

"I don't actually know much about this Ruins of Return."

"All I can confirm now is that this Ruins of Return was also a secret realm in ancient times, and the location we are in is still not the true core of the Ruins of Return."

"There is a record in ancient books that says that Guixu is located hundreds of millions of miles east of the ancient sea, where there is a great ravine, which is actually a bottomless valley. The waters of the eight directions and nine fields, and the flow of the Milky Way, all flow into it."

"And Shaohao, one of the ancient emperors, lived within the Ruins of Return."

"Shaohao is hailed as one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of our human race!"

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?" Gu Jiancheng was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Saintess Xuanji, isn't this retreat a bit too far?"

The strongest being seen in this Void is only a half-saint, or at most a saint. They are far from being emperors.

"Hehe, it is indeed very far."

"This ancient battlefield of Guixu is not the real Guixu, but at least it can be confirmed that this place has some connection with the Guixu in the East Sea recorded in ancient books!"

"Judging from the style of the coffins and tombs found here, this place does indeed seem to be the final resting place of powerful beings from ancient times," said the Holy Maiden Xuanji.

"Could the ancient powerful beings have been dragons?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

After all, too many coffins entwined with nine dragons have appeared in this Ruins of Return battlefield.

"Not necessarily, perhaps they are just powerful people who admire the dragon race."

"In ancient times, humans worshipped many divine beasts. The kingdom of Shaohao used the black bird and phoenix as its totem. Now, there are too many dragons here. I guess they are the guardians of Guixu."

"After all, the Four Divine Beasts are closely related, and their totems have appeared here to varying degrees."

"In any case, open this Nine Dragons Coffin first; perhaps you'll find some clues," said the Holy Maiden Xuanji.

"it is good!"

Although the mystery of the Guixu remains, Gu Jiancheng could only step forward and place the Longque Sword on the coffin.

Roar!

In an instant, a sound like the roar of an ancient dragon suddenly rang out, filling the entire space.

The next moment, a rich dragon spirit power seeped out from the corpse and merged into the Dragon Sword.

This surprised Gu Jiancheng as well. After receiving a continuous boost from rich spiritual essence, the Dragon Sword was now almost at the peak of the Pseudo-Saint realm.

"Hehe, just as I guessed, the dragon soul within your sword is no ordinary origin, is it?"

At this moment, the Holy Maiden Xuanji laughed.

"Unusual?"

Gu Jiancheng frowned, then said, "I obtained this dragon soul in a secret realm within the Desolate Wilderness Domain."

"At that time, the dragon was pierced through the head by a sword and died."

The discovery of dragon remains there, and the fact that their bloodline was of a high rank, does seem rather strange now.

“I think the dragon that was killed came from this Ruins of Return,”

"Or rather, at least they have a close relationship with the master of this Ruins Battlefield!"

"Because I previously tried to open this ancient coffin using a treasure with the aura of the dragon race, but I failed."

"So, what you need to open this ancient coffin isn't the aura of the dragon race, but the dragon race within your sword!" Saintess Xuanji laughed.

"Makes sense!"

"But isn't this just too much of a coincidence!"

Gu Jiancheng frowned.

If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean that if he hadn't entered the Meteor Dragon Ridge before, he wouldn't have been able to open the Nine Dragons Entangling Coffin within this Ruins?

That's too far-fetched, isn't it?

"Who can say for sure about such things? Perhaps, it's all preordained!" Saintess Xuanji smiled.

Gu Jiancheng did not speak again. At this moment, the nine dragons that were wrapped around the coffin had turned into dust and scattered away.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng pressed his hands on the coffin lid and pushed it open forcefully.

hum!

In an instant, a dense and ancient holy light suddenly burst forth from it.

The dazzling holy light was so intense that even Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but squint his eyes. It wasn't until he activated his Insightful Divine Eyes that he could see clearly that inside the coffin, besides a dragon bone and an ancient breastplate, there was also a crystal-clear sphere of light.

A mysterious ancient pattern floats within the sphere of light, radiating brilliant light and exuding extremely dense energy fluctuations!

"This is... a holy rune!?"

After taking three full breaths, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but gasp!

Having been in the Guixu Ancient Battlefield for so long, Gu Jiancheng has finally seen this legendary object!

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng took the ball of light out of the coffin.

The Holy Maiden Xuanji stepped forward, took a look, and then nodded and smiled, "That's right, it is indeed a holy mark."

"This thing is the embodiment of the will and essence of cultivation of ancient sages throughout their lives. After refining it into the body, one can not only obtain rich energy, but also condense a sacred seed within the soul!"

"It's almost fair to say that obtaining the Sacred Mark grants you the qualification to enter the Sacred Realm ahead of time!"

"This is an extremely rare heirloom."

So, congratulations!

"Hehe, so this is the Holy Rune? It's easy to obtain!" Gu Jiancheng smiled and then put the Holy Rune away.

He doesn't intend to use it himself.

Because he already possessed the Heaven-Burning Overlord Body, the pinnacle of all realms, he had no need for this holy rune.

Moreover, he discovered that the sacred rune contained an extremely rich aura, which was exactly the resource that his family still needed.

Perhaps this sacred rune can significantly accelerate the baby's development.

Although giving this sacred rune to someone else could help the Taiji Sect cultivate a top-tier prodigy, Gu Jiancheng still chose to be selfish for the sake of his own child.

Then, Gu Jiancheng took out the dragon bones from the ancient coffin. After glancing at them with his divine eyes, Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed.

Sure enough, this is the final piece of the puzzle for the first level of the Rising Dragon Transformation!

Now we've finally collected them all!
