Path to Heaven Chapter 707

"What happened inside?"

A cultivator covered in blue light appeared on the left side of the large brass ship. Seeing so many ancient phosphorous corpses spew out, his face also changed color and he let out a cry of alarm.

This cultivator wore a moon-white parasol leaf magic robe and had a handsome face that looked very elegant. He looked to be over thirty years old, and the spirit energy emanating from his body condensed into the shapes of blue bats.

"Help!"

Right at this moment, when so many ancient phosphorous corpses were flying up and down in the waves of dust, a few cultivators managed to escape from the cracks in the ground. These cultivators seemed to have gone mad, but the moment their figures appeared from the dust, the spirit energy in their bodies immediately disappeared, and they fell down screaming into the dust filled cracks in the ground.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Liu, what happened?" A mass of azure light shot out, instantly falling beside the large bronze ship. It was a dignified looking middle-aged cultivator wearing a green robe with his hair tied up with a green jade belt. The hall was wide, and he looked somewhat similar to Lin Taixu. This cultivator's skin was like white jade, and his face gave off a bright feeling. The spirit energy flowing out from his body formed small white jade swords. Clearly, another great cultivator of the Skysword Sect had arrived.

"Junior apprentice brother Wan, right now, we only know that one of the spirit stone lode has collapsed and that no cultivator has returned. The exact situation is still unclear." The Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator who wore a purple gold crown on his head and condensed the spirit energy on his body into a scarlet pearl said to this white-faced cultivator.

"What's going on today? Why are so many ancient phosphorous corpses ejected out? This is extraordinary. Could it be related to the appearance of the ancient beast that the Supreme Elder suppressed?" Dressed in a moon-white parasol leaf magic robe, the handsome Heavenly Sword Sect's great cultivator had a face as gloomy as water as he coldly stared at the dust that was spreading in all directions.

The appearance of so many ancient phosphorous corpses was unprecedented. Even the great cultivators of the Skysword Sect like them, who were guarding this place, felt their scalps go numb and their bodies turn cold.

At this moment, the entire area surrounding the fissure was thrown into chaos. The probed mining cultivators and the cultivators from the Skysword Sect all backed out in panic as many of them cried out in alarm, "Something's coming out from inside!"

"I see it! Heavens! What is it?!"

"Tombstone... "Heavens, how could there be a tombstone like this, how could it lift itself up? What is going on?"

"Hurry up and let us leave, don't dig any more things out of the Evil Veins, otherwise we might all die here …"

In an instant, regardless of whether it was the Pulse Searching Mining Cultivator, the Heavenly Sword Sect's ordinary cultivator, or the Successor Disciple, as well as the three Heavenly Sword Sect members that were hovering in the air, all of their faces turned pale with fright.

Ancient phosphorous corpses sprayed out from the cracks in the ground and burned intensely. At this moment, the dust slightly dispersed, and many cultivators in the air above the fissure saw that a section of the ground had collapsed for several miles. At this moment, the dust slightly dispersed, and many cultivators in the sky of the fissure could see that a section of the ground had collapsed for several kilometers.

This large black object actually appeared to be a huge tombstone!

The height of this tombstone was several tens of zhang. It was over a hundred zhang wide, and it was also several zhang thick. Its entire body emitted a mysterious and ancient aura, and it was extremely horrifying.

"There's actually such a profound mystery beneath the spirit stone mine!"

"Could it be that some ancient restriction was activated?"

The three great cultivators of the Skysword Sect could not help but look at each other in shock, sending such a message in their eyes. However, such a huge gravestone-like object was actually rising in the sky. It was obvious that this was not due to the tremor of the earth, but because there was some kind of restrictive force that was pushing this thing to appear in the world.

This huge tombstone was incredibly shocking, and the aura it gave off was extremely strange. Around it, ancient phosphorous corpses were rising, rising, and in just a few moments, the top of the giant tombstone poked out from a crack in the ground.

"Grand Elder!"

Right at this moment, the three great cultivators of the Skysword Sect raised their heads at the same time, all speaking respectfully. Above them, a black light suddenly descended, and stopped in front of the large bronze ship, revealing a figure in black robes.

This person had a solemn expression, and his entire body was like a piece of black iron. His aura was extremely powerful, as if he was swallowing the heavens and covering the earth.

The aura and pressure coming from Xue Chaoran's body not only far surpassed those of the three great cultivators of the Skysword Sect, but also seemed to be a lot stronger than those coming from the Mystique Wind Sect. It was evident that the technique he was cultivating was even more tyrannical than those of the ancient cultivators, definitely not an ordinary cultivator at the fourth level of the Aurous Core Stage.

"Let's stop the Pulse Searching Mining first, and get everything out from the cracks in the ground." As soon as he appeared, the voice of this supreme elder of the Skysword Sect could be heard from afar, issuing the order.

"Myriad Sword Three, what sort of change happened here?" After which, the Supreme Elder turned his head and asked the extraordinary Aurous Core stage cultivator that had condensed the white jade sword from the spiritual energy around him. This cultivator whose spiritual energy had condensed into small white jade swords was actually one of the culprits that caused Wei Suo's parents' death, Wanjian San!

When he heard Xue Chaoran's inquiry, he didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest and said, "One of the stone veins in the inner section collapsed, and then this weird item rose from the underground cave below.".

"All Skysword Sect disciples and Pulse Searching Mining Cultivators, retreat out of the seventh area first. "Do not panic, do not take away any of the Pulse Searching Mining Cultivators." Xue Chao Ran's expression didn't change as he passed down another order.

"Boom!"

In just a moment, the chaotic situation had somewhat calmed down. The entire black monument completely extended out of the ground, and a black light curled up at the bottom. It connected to a square platform with a radius of one hundred feet.

Surprisingly, there was also a thick layer of ancient phosphorous corpses on the square platform.

"What the hell is this thing!"

"This thing is too much like a tombstone. Is there some kind of earth-shattering monster buried inside?"

Seeing the frightening black monument rise up from the ground and finally stabilize, the surrounding cultivators couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

This devilish vein was connected to the periphery, and a total of two thousand Li. It was extremely wide, and one could no longer see the black monument in the area other than the crack in the ground, but news was being spread from this crack. It was said that many ancient phosphorous corpses had spouted out out from here, and this black monument had risen up as well.

"Grand Elder, are you able to see just what it is?" The three great cultivators of the Skysword Sect also didn't dare to approach it. The giant black monument and the black platform below didn't have any runes on them. No matter how one looked at it, they couldn't find any clues.

Xue Chao Ran, who was standing in the air in front of the three of them, had a brilliant light in his eyes. Before he could say anything, a cracking sound rang out and countless fine lines appeared on the black monument.

And then, the entire black monolith actually began to collapse piece by piece from the very top.

Pieces of shattered black stone tablets fell onto the ground and shattered, producing a series of reverberations.

"What's that?"

Suddenly, the great cultivator surnamed Zhao from the Skysword Sect, whose spiritual energy had condensed into the shape of a blue bat, let out an astonished cry.

Within the shattered black tombstone, a gray streak of light had actually appeared.

As the black tombstone crumbled, it actually gave off the feeling that a gray moon was about to rise from the black curtain of night.

The entire black tombstone collapsed very quickly. Something fell from the black tombstone with a "ding" sound, landing in the black tombstone on the platform below.

All of the grey light was emitted from this item.

This item was actually a small gold bracelet!

This gold bracelet had a very ordinary design. It was only a ring, but its surface was covered in many ancient runes that emitted an extremely ancient aura! Waves of spiritual light were emitted from this gold bracelet!

The eyes of Xue Chaoran and the three great cultivators of the Skysword Sect all flashed with a strange light!

From the aura and the spiritual light emitted by the bracelet, this gray golden bracelet was definitely a very powerful treasure!

… ….

"What happened inside?"

"What? The spirit stone vein inside is broken and the gigantic black monument has been raised?" Is there a powerful treasure that has appeared? "

Aside from Ma KongQun, there were already five other Heavenly Sword Sect disciples in front of Li Hanyi. These five disciples of the Skysword Sect all realized that something was amiss as they were caught by Wei Suo's sneak attack. At this moment, Wei Suo, who had not taken off his Cloak of Invisibility, was questioning one of the Skysword Sect cultivators that he had just captured. At this moment, Wei Suo's eyes were filled with shock.

"Brother Rabbit, you guys stay below and wait for me. Don't attract any Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators." "Ma KongQun, follow me in. Later on, you can use your flying magic tool. I'll be right behind you. If you make any unusual movements, you know the consequences." After his eyes flashed intensely for a moment, Wei Suo spoke to Li Jianyi and Ma Kongqun.

"Brat, you really want to enter the middle of this damn place?" Hearing Wei Suo's words, the green-robed old man immediately let out a wail.

"I …" When Ma KongQun heard Wei Suo's words, the thought of entering the vicinity of the seventh fissure immediately made his legs go soft. However, he did not dare to say a single word. After Wei Suo's true essence had rushed into his body and unraveled part of the restriction on him, he didn't dare to go against it. With a bloodless face, he ordered his magic treasure to fly towards the seventh crack.

The land in the middle of the cracks in the Magic Veins was extremely spacious. There were no signs of life, only some rugged gray boulders scattered around. The place was completely barren without any signs of life.

"What a big crack!"

From the outside, every crack in the ground looked like a bloody wound, but when they got closer, and the first crack was right in front of them, Wei Suo's breathing couldn't help but stop. That crack of the earth was over a hundred miles long and several miles wide. It was an astonishing abyss and within it, blood-red light flashed and it emanated an unimaginably horrifying aura.

Around the first fissure, there were many cultivators on the ground below.

Wei Suo saw many simple and crude stone towers that stretched to the sides of the fissure. They were supposed to be the residences of the probed mining cultivators, and there were also many furnaces. They were clearly smelting pure gold. There were quite a few cultivators around the furnace like ants. It was obvious that other than the Pulse Searching Mining cultivators, there were also quite a few cultivators who were here specially refining pure gold.
