Chapter 824: History Of The Kushao Ruins

Lin Mu was using both his body and cultivation base right now. He had not exerted this level of power yet and it was his first time testing it out.

His body had two fully refined treasured organs that gave him the physical strength of someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. And even that was not something that could compare to that of an average cultivator.

Then there was his spirit Qi cultivation base that was at the Sh.e.l.l Initiation stage of the Dao Sh.e.l.l realm. Combining both of them put his power at a completely different level. The barrier in front of him would have greatly injured someone if they tried to do the same.

Not to mention pulling it apart with their bare hands, even cracking it like that would be close to impossible. 

"YAAAAAA! SHATTER!" Lin Mu said as his power increased by another level.

~KACHA~

~SHATTER~

A loud breaking sound was heard, and it seemed as if some gla.s.s had been broken. The jaws of all the Noon Gra.s.s sect remember dropped at seeing this. Jing Luo had already seen plenty of feats that Lin Mu had accomplished and wasn't as shocked.

But seeing this level of power was still new for him. Unlike others, he knew the defense of the Sheltered Mirage formation array. It was an old formation array that had mostly been lost to the time.

For it to protect this ruin for such a long time, it had to be very strong. Otherwise, the people who came here in past would have plundered it completely a long time ago. 

"ENTER!" Lin Mu said out loud as a wide hole about ten meters wide was torn out by him.

The people didn't need a second to respond to this, and they hurriedly ran into the hole. In less than five seconds, everyone was inside and the hole soon closed behind them.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and looked at the formation that looked like it was not damaged at all.

"That's certainly a strong formation if it can recover that fast…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"Mmhmm, it's something that even Grandfather will take a while to unravel with his skills. And yet… you managed to enter it forcefully." Jing Luo replied in a low voice.

"Hmm, we best not loiter here. Even if we managed to enter, we don't know if others have sensed it or not. The flickering in the formations' integrity might be felt by a formation master that has a higher sensitivity." Lin Mu recommended.

"You're right. Let's head forward," Jing Luo agreed.

They turned around and looked at the ruins ahead. It was a bit astonishing since they had not seen the ruins from the outside. It looked like there was just endless desert in front of them.

"It can truly present a mirage… but in the opposite way…" Hu Yun muttered to himself.

The ruins were far bigger on the inside than they had thought. In the main area of the ruins, they looked to be only a kilometer big, but here they could see that it was far bigger than that.

"The barrier served as a means to hide its true size and location. Even if someone managed to wander here, the bewildering function of the formation array would activate and they would just lose their way before being ejected out from a different side.

I wouldn't be shocked if many people have actually gone by here and just never noticed." Elder Weimin explained.

The disciples felt enlightened after learning this. This was one of the Elder's duties when they accompanied the disciples anywhere; they needed to teach them the things that they had not seen.

But what Elder Weimin did not tell them was that the way Lin Mu managed to directly touch the formation was unnatural. One should not have even felt it and just pa.s.sed through it, falling into bewilderment.

But Lin Mu still managed to touch it somehow, not to mention ripping it apart with his hands was a completely different feat that he couldn't even comprehend. 

"So what do we do now, senior Lin Mu?" one of the disciples asked, feeling a bit lost.

The ruins in front of them were vast and made out of materials that were inscribed with fine runes that restricted their spirit sense. Perhaps only Lin Mu, Elder Weimin, and Jing Luo might be able to use their spirit senses here.

"Can you do anything about these formations?" Elder Weimin questioned.

"No… these are different. There are multiple of them in every square meter of them. And they are spread everywhere, it would be useless to even attempt that." Jing Luo answered.

~Sigh~

"This is the way the ruins were meant to be… after all, this is a trial in a way, isn't it?" Lin Mu said.

"Indeed," Elder Weimin agreed and nodded his head.

The Kushao ruins were originally the tomb of an expert by the name of Kushao. He was said to have been at the very cusp of the Immortal Ascension realm, but some even said he had managed to reach it.

Not much was known about him since he preferred to stay low key and seldom took part in the matters of the world. People didn't even know he had died until someone discovered his tomb.

It had been a very popular site for the disciples of various sects to gain fortune and resources, but then five hundred years ago a disaster happened that damaged the tomb and turned it into the ruins that are known now.

They sank into the depths of the earth and were said to have been gone forever. Their appearance now was completely unexpected and very desirable for every cultivator. Not to mention the sects had other intentions with it as well.

"There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of cultivators buried here. They either perished in the trials or failed to escape." Jing Luo spoke.
