Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 302

After sitting cross-legged for a long time, Yan Chutian's spirit rune finally recovered slowly. The originally desperate aura once again revealed a tyrannical aura.

It seemed like half a day had passed before Yan Chutian had completely recovered. The moment he opened his eyes, the aura that came out was completely natural, even softer than before.

Yan Chutian was not surprised at this moment, as opportunities were always accompanied by danger. Previously, when he was on a hill and chased, even though he was on the verge of death, on the other hand, he was also training himself.

Now that the training was over, he naturally had to reap the corresponding results. At the same time, he would not forget the so-called geniuses who were chasing after him. This incredible kindness, he would definitely "return" them well in the future!

But now, the first thing he had to think about was how to leave this strange place.

From the moment he entered, he had already lost all direction. He had no idea where it came from, let alone where there was a way out.

The surrounding water surface was filled with gigantic peaks, and among those peaks was a thick fog, which isolated all the senses, like a labyrinth.

But after all, Yan Chutian could not sit still and wait for death. Now that he had completely recovered, he naturally had to start looking for a way out.

He got up and once again mastered a small piece of land under his feet, and slowly floated in this strange place.

While hovering, Yan Chutian's eyes continued to observe the surroundings, trying his best to find a possible exit.

However, after an entire hour, he did not find a possible exit. Yan Chutian felt like he was moving in a certain direction, but in the end, he seemed to have returned to where he was.

But the surrounding scenery was too similar, and Yan Chutian was not sure if it was true or not. Therefore, before setting off again, he left a mark under the gigantic peak.

Half an hour later, when Yan Chutian saw this symbol again, even if he was unsure before, the truth was now before his eyes.

He seemed to have lost himself in this huge maze…!

After that, no matter how many times Yan Chutian tried, the result was that he returned to his original place. In such a situation, although Yan Chutian usually looked calm, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.

If this continued, could it be that he would be trapped here to death?!

Perhaps he could break the seal and leave, but once he did, it meant that he had failed and had to leave behind the ancient ruins. How could Yan Chutian be willing to do that? Moreover, Yan Chutian felt that this place was exactly like that small mountain. Even if he destroyed the seal, he would not be able to leave.

"Ta …"

As Yan Chutian was feeling anxious, there seemed to be some sounds coming from the gigantic peak above his head.

This immediately caused him to raise his head and look up. However, the gigantic peak was also surrounded by a thick fog, so he could not see it at all. So, what can he see?

But even if he could not see anything, Yan Chutian remained vigilant. He remembered that he had seen some ruins at the top of this huge mountain.

Could there be some kind of creature in the ruins? If not, why is there a voice?

Thinking of this, Yan Chutian's curiosity appeared. Second, even if he insisted on finding a way out, the result would be the same as before. So why not go up and see it?

Yan Chutian was not a hesitant person. Because he has an idea, he will make it happen. After breaking the corner of the protective array, he raised his foot and stepped on the gigantic peak towering in front of him.

There is no way from the bottom to the top of the giant peak. So, the climb of Yan Chutian was entirely alone. He constantly borrowed strength and climbed among the giant rock bulges.

Although the gigantic peak was large and tall, after all Yan Chutian was a cultivator. So, after a series of movements, he could jump to the top of the giant peak.

There was a wide platform at the top of the mountain. Looking up, in the thick fog, the outline of the ruins became increasingly clear. However, at this moment, Yan Chutian really did not understand why there were ruins in such a strange place.

But of course, this was only Yan Chutian's momentary thought. After all, he knew that things would change over time. Maybe a long time ago, this place was not what it is today.

"Tap tap …"

The strange sound was still slowly heard. Looking at the source of the sound, it came from the ruins. But because of this, Yan Chutian naturally became cautious and did not dare to move forward rashly.

But after thinking about it repeatedly, the curiosity in his heart finally overcame his worries, causing Yan Chutian to slowly move forward.

This was not only because he was curious, but also because Yan Chutian understood that if he did nothing here, he would really be stuck here forever. And perhaps an accidental exploration will make him find his way back!

As he continued walking closer, Yan Chutian's expression naturally became more cautious. As he walked, a thick layer of spiritual energy had solidified on the surface of his body.

This type of defense, even the seventh level would not be able to easily break through, not to mention Yan Chutian's Tier Three Mysterious Fire Body.

But even if his defense was strong, Yan Chutian still understood that his seemingly strong defense was like tofu facing some danger. It could not even withstand a single blow.

This kind of defense is only possible with effort.

As he approached the ruins, the scene before him gradually became clear. He saw broken buildings continuously appearing in front of him, and the ground was filled with broken walls and ruins. It was a total mess.

The source of the noise seemed to be from the dilapidated palace.

Since he had already reached this step, Yan Chutian would naturally not let go of the final palace. He immediately stepped forward and finally walked to the broken palace.

Pushing open the door of the unlocked palace, a thick ancient aura came out first. Yan Chutian used his left arm to cover his mouth and nose, then looked inside the palace.

Although the palace was now in a dilapidated state, and there was even a huge hole in its dome, one could vaguely recognize how prosperous this palace was in the past.

But this makes people sigh. No matter how prosperous and beautiful it used to be, with the passage of time, it had now become a broken ruin.

Returning to the main topic, Yan Chutian's gaze still looked to the source of the strange voice. As he listened carefully, he realized that the commotion did not come from inside the large hall. Instead, it came from the second floor.

So Yan Chutian could only continue searching for the stairs. Finally, in the depths of the palace, he found a stone staircase leading to the second floor.

But before he could walk any further, he raised his head and saw that the top of the stone staircase had been broken. Fortunately, Yan Chutian was a cultivator. Otherwise, looking at the broken stone stairs, he could only stop here.

After spending some effort to ascend to the second floor, Yan Chutian followed the voice and opened another ancient door.

This time, when he pushed it open, Yan Chutian saw that in the pitch-black room, there was only a beam of light from the window shining down on the ground.

And on the ground illuminated by the light, there was a figure kneeling down. Since the door was behind that figure, Yan Chutian could only see the back of the figure.

But even so, it suddenly saw a kneeling figure in front of him, and the clothes on his body were increasingly ancient and broken, as if he had been here for a long time, he said, how could it not make people feel strange?

This was especially true as the sound of the thump continued to sound. This caused the already strange atmosphere to become even more terrifying.

At this moment, Yan Chutian was unwilling to feel regret, and wanted to leave immediately. Such a scene had already given him a bad feeling.

However, as he slowly retreated, the commotion that had occurred all this time suddenly stopped!

In an instant, the bad feeling in Yan Chutian's heart reached its peak. Without any explanation, he immediately retreated, wanting to leave this place.

However, as he retreated, as he looked back, a kneeling figure appeared in front of the stone stairs.

How could Yan Chutian not know that he had actually met a strange person after seeing such a scene?!

But the stone stairs were blocked, so he jumped down from the second floor and landed on the first floor of the hall. And he thinks so, and does. But when he landed on the first floor, he suddenly found a kneeling figure appearing in front of him.

The distance between them was less than ten feet!

At such a close distance, he could finally see clearly that under the kneeling figure, there was a puddle of dried blood. And from this direction, he could faintly see a withered arm that was like a bag of bones, gently tapping on a round object.

Looking more carefully, Yan Chutian felt a chill on his back, as the round object was clearly a human head.
