In the ruins of the Soul Elder, countless interconnected paths lead to various Rooms. Each Room contains treasures that can captivate one's heart to varying degrees.
However, the most valuable treasure within the ruins is located in the main hall, which serves as the central hub of the ruins.
Although each path in the ruins leads to different locations, they all converge at the end, tightly connecting to the main hall.
After Aotian and Snow Qincheng emerged from their seclusion in a Room, they followed one of the paths deeper into the ruins, with their destination clearly being the main hall.
Along the way, Aotian witnessed numerous warriors fighting fiercely over various treasures. Blood flowed like rivers, and bones littered the ground. A sense of brutality and bloodthirst permeated the entire ruins.
"Aotian, look!" Suddenly, Snow Qincheng halted her advance toward the main hall and pointed at a nearby pile of intertwined corpses, speaking to Aotian.
Aotian paused for a moment, feeling puzzled. They had seen far too many corpses on this journey; logically, Snow Qincheng shouldn't be so alarmed by just a few bodies.
Nevertheless, Aotian walked toward the location Snow Qincheng indicated. Upon seeing those corpses, his pupils constricted sharply.
He noticed that these bodies showed no signs of blood; their skin and flesh were completely absent, leaving only white bones behind. From a distance, they resembled skeletons. Even more terrifying was that what should have been pure white bones were now covered in gray spots, exuding an aura of evil.
"What is this..." Aotian's throat felt somewhat dry at that moment.
"These people must have died from poisoning!" Snow Qincheng's voice came from behind Aotian.
"Poisoning?"
Aotian couldn't help but gasp in shock. What kind of poison could be so terrifying that it left no trace of flesh or skin, only bare bones?
"The Poisoner must possess a terrifying toxin. If not, then this person's cultivation is definitely not weaker than mine, and they are practicing a very rare poison attribute Mystical Energy!" Snow Qincheng frowned slightly, seemingly feeling that this matter was quite tricky.
Aotian was greatly shocked upon hearing this. Snow Qincheng was only half a step away from the Human Spirit Realm, yet now he heard Snow Qincheng say that this Poisoner's cultivation was actually not weaker than his? Could it be that they were also a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior? But shouldn't the only Half-Step Human Spirit warriors be Snow Qincheng, Feng Moyang, and Qiu Mingjie? However, these three clearly did not practice poison attribute Mystical Energy. So where did this Half-Step Human Spirit warrior come from? Why had there been no prior indication of their existence?
"That person shouldn't be a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior, right? Maybe they just mastered a strange toxin?"
Aotian still refused to believe that there were other Half-Step Human Spirit warriors besides Snow Qincheng and the other two. After all, reaching the Half-Step Human Spirit realm was not that easy; otherwise, there wouldn't only be Qiu Mingjie and Feng Moyang in Mystic Spirit Town.
Snow Qincheng glanced at Aotian and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Even if this person has mastered a strange toxin, it is still enough to threaten the lives of Half-Step Human Spirit warriors."
Aotian's expression turned somewhat grim. Although his Transformation Technique could assimilate various powers, if this toxin truly posed a threat to Half-Step Human Spirit warriors, then before his Transformation Technique even began to assimilate it, he would likely already be reduced to a pile of bones.
Moreover, while the Heaven Devouring Seal was a divine artifact capable of devouring heaven and earth, how much power of the Heaven Devouring Seal could he exert with his current strength?
Thus, Aotian still held a strong sense of trepidation towards this Poisoner.
"You don't need to worry too much; it's still uncertain whether this person is friend or foe," Snow Qincheng said lightly.
Aotian sighed. For some reason, he always felt that this Poisoner had a significant grudge against him. Perhaps there would be too many variables in this trip to the main hall...
"Most of the warriors should have gathered at the main hall by now; let's set off!"
"Snow Qincheng" said a word and, without waiting for "Aotian" to respond, shot towards the end of the road.
Seeing this, "Aotian" quickly followed. No matter how dangerous the main hall was, one could not catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den.
On another path, a figure cloaked in a tight black robe walked leisurely, their face obscured by a black hood.
Some careless martial artists who ventured within a meter of this mysterious person would immediately collapse, twitching on the ground with their faces turning purple, resembling symptoms of poisoning.
"Kekeke, Aotian, I believe you will also go to the main hall. There, I will give you a tremendous surprise. Don't let me down..." A somewhat hoarse voice came from beneath the black hood.
On another path, four figures walked side by side; upon closer inspection, they were "Xiao Ya" and the "Xiao Brothers."
"Let's go to the main hall as well. I think Aotian will be heading there too," "Xiao Ya" said.
"Haha, great! Then let's head over and meet up with our little brother Aotian..."
In an instant, the four figures transformed into beams of light shooting towards the end of the road.
After about half a day's time, the outline of the "Great Hall" gradually appeared before "Aotian." Surrounding the "Great Hall" were countless martial artists swarming like locusts. As they gazed at the "Great Hall," their eyes sparkled with greed and fervor.
"Is that the main hall?" "Aotian" asked.
Standing beside "Aotian," "Snow Qincheng" nodded.
"That's right, but it's still not time to go in."
Aotian nodded to indicate his understanding. He could clearly see that there was a bowl-shaped Light Shield surrounding the Great Hall, with vast energy surging within it. Aotian estimated that even Snow Qincheng would not be able to break through that immense Light Shield.
However, the energy of the Light Shield seemed to be gradually weakening with the passage of time. Once enough time had passed, the Light Shield would automatically disappear, and by then, the crowd here would likely go into a complete frenzy...
"Next, let's just wait patiently..."
Aotian chose a spot with fewer warriors and sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the Light Shield to vanish. Seeing this, Snow Qincheng also sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes to rest.
During this time, figures continued to shoot out from the roads, their eyes burning with eagerness as they gazed at the towering Great Hall.
Clearly, news of the main hall had spread throughout the ruins. Faced with the most precious treasures collected by the Soul Elder over a lifetime, no one could remain indifferent.
As time passed, more and more warriors gathered outside the main hall, among them were even some at the Innate Peak level.
"Haha, Aotian little brother, you really came too..."
