The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

From a distance, the main hall seemed to be standing in the sea of ​​clouds and mist, ethereal and inaccessible, not to mention the faintly emerging dragon and phoenix totems, and the twelve red or gold pillars that soared into the sky... The whole palace looked like a fairy palace, high in the clouds, daunting.

As the clouds gradually retreated on both sides, a seemingly endless ladder in the center was laid down from the top, and each brick and tile was shining with colorful light, and an extremely mysterious atmosphere was overflowing, giving people an illusion that the ladder in front of them could lead directly to the sky...

In front of such a palace, humans seemed extremely small...

For a moment, everyone had similar thoughts, but the next moment, they put aside such distracting thoughts. Seeing this, the man leading the way nodded and said, "Next... Don't step out of the circle under your feet."

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately found that there was a circle of shining light under their feet, with different colors, but it contrasted with the light on the bricks and tiles of the stairs, which seemed a bit dazzling.

Seeing that everyone was in place, many human warriors nodded at the same time, and then took out the formation flags and waved them. The light in several light circles suddenly became brighter, and then a breeze swept over, and everyone's body flew up lightly...

One after another, long dragon-like rainbow paths fell from the sky, covering each person. Soon, the palace that seemed to be unreachable was in sight...

A burst of extremely bright light lit up, and everyone's eyes blurred and lost consciousness.

...

...

When Chu Tianxiao regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a desolate black land, with turbid black fog rolling around, thunder and lightning in his ears, as if there were endless wind and rain in the meantime...

"Is this... the imperial palace of the Liu clan?"

Seeing a black fog surging, like a dark wave, roaring and sweeping over... Chu Tianxiao really couldn't imagine that this would be the old nest of the ancient ancestors of the Liu clan.

Was it because he happened to have arrived at a place that had been destroyed, or was there another reason?

Shaking his head, Chu Tianxiao quickly took out the pendant he had obtained from Sha Yanyan before, and saw two red dots on it, both not far from him.

"Mei'er, Yanyan, can you hear me?"

Chu Tianxiao tried to shout twice, but the other side did not send back any information at all... Obviously, the black fog around here has some kind of blocking effect.

"Tsk, it seems a bit unlucky... This 'birth point'..."

Muttering, Chu Tianxiao began to scan the surroundings with his soul.

Speaking of which, although he had been flirting with the two beauties recently... Ah! It should be said that he was suffering... But after the "special training" of the two natural beauties, Chu Tianxiao's soul has become stronger unconsciously, and his cultivation has begun to approach the middle realm of the soul awakening, which is not without benefits.

If not, according to his original soul, he would really be a little bit short of being able to pass through these weird black fogs...

After carefully sensing for a moment, Chu Tianxiao had a rough idea in his mind.

Looking at the red dot on the pendant, he could not help but sigh... If he had a choice, he would not want the two women to come to this hellhole where he was, but from the current situation, it seemed that this was the only way...

"... Well, this place is a bit like a tower... You can come down from the top, but you can't get out. You can only go down and explore the exit at the bottom..."

Before coming here, I heard Sha Yanyan say that there are many such seemingly closed small spaces in the Liu clan's imperial palace. Although it is difficult to walk, there are generally great opportunities in them...

With a thought, Chu Tianxiao quickly circulated his true energy and formed a golden shield beside him. After resisting the fierce black waves, he rushed towards the center.

The closer he got to the center, the more distorted the surrounding airflow became. If he was a weak soul, he might have lost his way long ago, but this was not a big problem for Chu Tianxiao. He was like an arrow, piercing the center.

After a few breaths, he arrived successfully.

After that, he fell directly... He didn't know how far he fell, but suddenly he heard a loud "bang" in his ears. Something hit his body's protective essence, and then it broke apart and turned into golden sand...

"Hmm?"

Although he was not injured by the collision, the violent shock still made Chu Tianxiao alert. He raised his right hand, and a star flew out with a swoosh, and while spinning around, it knocked back some of the golden sand.

Chu Tianxiao took the opportunity to take a closer look, and then in just a moment, his eyes condensed!

"Is this... a skeleton?"

I didn't feel it from a distance, but now I scanned it with my soul at close range, and I immediately felt the incomplete but powerful aura contained in it... This aura is different from that of humans, demons, and even fierce beasts, but it has some commonalities with practitioners...

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion-this is the bone fragment of a sage of an ancient tribe!

"... Is it a coincidence? Or have I come to an incredible place?"

With a slight movement of his mind, Chu Tianxiao continued to dive without stopping...

Bang, bang, bang!

It turned out that the skeleton just now was not a coincidence, because the deeper he went, the more bone fragments were swept by the black wind, like hail hitting an iron barrel, making a constant loud noise.

But it was obvious that it was impossible to stop Chu Tianxiao's steps with these incomplete bone fragments that had lost all their internal strength.

He continued to dive, and the true essence of the nine snow mountains continued to be input into the shield, easily blocking these collisions, but as the collisions increased, the shock in his heart became more and more intense...

"There are so many bones... How many ancient tribesmen died down there?"

After falling for an unknown period of time, Chu Tianxiao finally turned over and landed on a vast black land...

The storm disappeared, and the black air dissipated.

It was strange that after reaching the "bottom", everything around him became clear. The remaining layer of gray couldn't even stop the weak souls, let alone Chu Tianxiao?

He quickly saw the situation around him...There were countless broken bones scattered around. Although they had been eroded by the years, some of them were still flickering and glowing like crystal stones.

This scene showed how powerful the owners of these bones were when they were alive.

Otherwise, their remains would have turned into smoke and dust long ago.

It's just...

"... there are too many."

Chu Tianxiao looked around and soon found a long road. On this road, he could sense the presence of skeletons from time to time. I don't know how many corpses were lying on the roadside...

I think, even in the era of the ancient sages of the tribe, the loss of so many strong people at once must have been a serious injury...

It may even be that they will never recover.

"... Could it be that the ancient tribe had experienced a catastrophe, and most of the strong people died in the tribe's imperial palace, and a few escaped and developed to the present day, becoming the current 'ancient tribe'?"
