Peerless Sovereign

"Crack!"    

"Crack!"    

Together with cyan robed man and the old man in black, Su Lie inserted three identical small swords into the round disc on the giant bronze gate.    

Su Lie was naturally furious in his heart. This was definitely not a decision that the two of them had made on their own, cyan robed man and the black robed elder had definitely ordered it, but it was also impossible for Su Lie to just leave like that.    

He just wanted to keep up appearances so that others wouldn't think that he was easy to talk to and that he was weak enough to bully. As long as he forced them to lower their heads, he would achieve his goals.    

As Tang Ancestor watched Su Lie take out the Secret Key and activate the relic, even though he was slightly unwilling, he did not attack again.    

Even if the four of them were to attack together, it would still not be easy for them to take down Su Lie, not to mention the fact that Yu Ling was beside them.    

Tang Ancestor was also extremely afraid of Yu Ling. Since a single person was able to easily defeat more than ten of their Tang Clan's experts, Tang Ancestor naturally would not underestimate her.    

The opening of the relic was very smooth. After wasting so much time, they were finally going to enter the relic. Even Su Lie couldn't help but feel excited.    

What would there be in these ruins? A large number of precious treasures, or even the most powerful martial arts technique?    

He couldn't help but start imagining things in his heart.    

"Crack crack crack …"    

The three small swords that had been inserted into the bronze disc unexpectedly bloomed like flower buds. They tore into five pieces and stuck onto the bronze disc, revealing a thin golden needle at the center.    

"Swish ~"    

As soon as the three needles were revealed, they seemed to interact with each other. Threads of golden light on the needles formed a triangle as if they were golden lightning.    

"Crack!"    

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out from within the huge bronze door. Then, the bronze disc started to slowly rotate.    

"It's opening …"    

The black-robed elder muttered to himself.    

The six of them stared intently at the huge bronze door, waiting to open.    

Two weeks after the bronze disc had turned, the enormous bronze door suddenly shook. With a loud bang, the dust covering the door rustled down and a small crack slowly appeared.    

"Whew ~"    

A light breeze blew out from the huge bronze door.    

Under the dull rubbing sounds, the huge bronze door slowly opened up bit by bit. From behind the door, a faint glow gradually emitted out.    

"There's a treasure behind the door?"    

Su Lie was slightly stunned.    

However, as the huge bronze door slowly opened, the six people's faces gradually became stunned.    

It was not as they had imagined. Behind the door was a huge cave, and behind the door was only a swirling vortex of light and clouds. Within the swirling vortex, there were specks of light flashing, like the stars in the sky.    

"This is, a spatial whirlpool?"    

cyan robed man's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.    

No wonder the owner of the relic left behind a message, if it couldn't collect all three keys then it would be impossible to open the relic. Even if an expert of the Yuan School were to forcefully open the relic, the relic would still collapse, so the relic wouldn't be here at all. If they forcefully attacked the huge bronze door then the whirlpool behind would collapse, then even if the relic didn't collapse, perhaps no one would ever be able to find it again.    

Behind this space whirlpool, there was a connection. No one knew where it was.    

Su Lie stared at the spatial swirl and his expression became serious. If the owner of the relic harbored some evil intent and sent them to some evil place, then they would be unimaginably lucky.    

"This possibility shouldn't be too high …"    

Su Lie silently thought in his heart.    

The owner of this relic couldn't have spent such a large price just to trick these unfamiliar descendants, so there was no point in doing so.    

"Senior Sister, let's go in!"    

Su Lie shouted to Yu Ling.    

The four of them also seemed to wake up instantly. The black-robed old man's body flickered as he directly stepped into the spatial whirlpool.    

"Let's go in quickly as well!"    

cyan robed man nodded to Tang Ancestor and floated into the air. With a flash, he fell into the whirlpool and disappeared.    

No matter what was inside these ruins, if they went in first, there would be an additional advantage. They were naturally not willing to fall behind.    

Tang Ancestor did not care about Su Lie and Xiao Che. He entered the spatial whirlpool almost at the same time as the third stage Revealing Astral Realm ranker.    

"What are you doing?"    

Yu Ling asked as she stood in front of the spatial whirlpool.    

Su Lie was the first to remind her to go in. But at this moment, the four people had all gone in, but Su Lie was still not in a hurry. He turned around to open the huge bronze door and reached out to pull out the three keys that were inserted into it.    

"I'll try and see if I can get the key back. If I can …"    

Just as Su Lie's finger touched the three keys, the three swords that had opened up instantly closed. With a flash, they entered the depths of the bronze disc, revealing some traces.    

Su Lie couldn't help but shake his head and say awkwardly: "Obviously not!"    

He thought, if he could take back the key, maybe he could stop the people behind him from entering the relic.    

Su Lie did not believe that they were so obedient. If he told them to retreat, they would obediently retreat. Those people would definitely return.    

"Hurry up and go in. The treasures will all be taken by them later."    

Yu Ling urged.    

Su Lie shook his head and said: "These ruins are definitely not that simple. With them at the front, it just so happens that they are able to scout for us."    

It was just an entrance, yet it already created an empty vortex. Although it hasn't entered the relic yet, the owner of this relic already spied on some of it. The things inside definitely aren't that easy to obtain.    

Although he had left behind ruins here for the benefit of his descendants, he was definitely not a benevolent person. For the sake of being a good person and giving away treasures, he definitely had his own motive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to create such an ancient ruin and even brought out three keys.    

"Be careful!"    

Su Lie warned Yu Ling as he stood in front of the spatial whirlpool before taking a probing step forward.    

It was only a small step, but it seemed as if he had teleported. The huge bronze door and Yu Ling both vanished from his sight in an instant. He could not see anything clearly, and the world seemed to be spinning.    

"Whew ~"    

In just seven or eight breaths of time, he felt a breeze.    

When he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was already standing on top of a stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a complex array formation underneath his feet, and in front of him was a black stone pillar.    

Just as he steadied his feet, he felt a suction force coming from the stone platform, as if a massive suction cup was firmly sucking his feet in. Meanwhile, the elemental energy and spiritual force within his body all surged towards the array beneath his feet.    

Su Lie's heart could not help but panic. He instinctively struggled to lift his feet, but it was as if his feet were stuck in stone. No matter how much strength he used, he still lifted them up by a little.    

"What's going on?"    

At this moment, Su Lie also heard Yu Ling's flustered and exasperated voice.    

Only then did he realize that the stone platform beneath his feet was actually floating in the dark void. Around him, there were also stone platforms floating, as if a belt of fallen stone. The stone platforms under his feet were actually dozens of them.    

Obviously, the owner of this relic didn't plan to only let the six of them in, leaving a lot of space for the newcomers.    

Su Lie's eyes swept across the stone platforms and finally found cyan robed man, the black-robed old man, and Tang Ancestor.    

Every single one of them was standing on a stone platform.    

The black-robed old man and the others had entered earlier. At this moment, the formation beneath his feet had already lit up. First it was green, then it slowly turned green, and finally it turned faint yellow.    

As for the black stone pillar in front of him, it emitted a black light as well, revealing a total of fourteen scales. A red light slowly climbed up the black stone pillar, passing the scales one by one.    

The red light on the stone pillar in front of the black-robed old man had just passed the fourth mark when it stopped. A large section of it still remained empty.    

As the light on the stone pillar stopped, the stone platform underneath the old man trembled. Just as the old man was perplexed, the stone platform suddenly sank and brought the old man down into the void.    

"What's going on?"    

The old man in black robes roared in anger as he struggled, but he could not break free from the constraints of the stone platform.    

Su Lie was also surprised and didn't understand what was going on. However, following the old man's longing gaze, Su Lie discovered something once again.    

Above their heads, there was an enormous floating palace, akin to a giant mountain, floating above their heads.    

Tang Ancestor was almost the same as the old man in black; the array under his feet had a faint yellow color and the red light on the pillar had just passed the fourth scale. Tang Ancestor was almost the same as the old man in black, the array below his feet had a dim yellow color and the red light on the pillar had just passed the fourth scale.    

The array below cyan robed man's feet was green, and the red light on the stone pillar on his body had only barely crossed the fourth scale. While cyan robed man was feeling uneasy, the stone platform on his feet brought him slowly towards the palace above his head.    

cyan robed man's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.    

He should have passed the test.    

The stone platform under his feet had just floated a few meters away from him when the stone on the third stage of the Revealing Astral Realm slightly trembled and then began to slowly rise into the air.    

He had actually passed the test of the stone platform.    

Seeing the four people in front of him, Su Lie finally calmed down a little. However, he was still a bit worried, afraid that he would fail the test. Like the black-robed old man and Tang Ancestor, he fell into the abyss of darkness.    

Under his feet, the formation started to emit light. At the bottom of the stone pillar, a red light also began to appear.
