I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

PEI Ling inspected the surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger before he started to examine the murals.

However, perhaps because of the passage of time, most of the murals were as broken as the walls, and the contents could not be recognized.

There were only a few that were still intact.

One of them was of a human standing in front of a tall altar. He held a short dagger and was about to stab it into his heart as if he was going to sacrifice himself. The style of the altar was completely different from what PEI Ling was familiar with. It seemed to be exceptionally tall and majestic, exuding an aura from ancient times.

In the second painting, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The human was half-naked, with animal skins around his waist and satisfyingly tied. He held a long saber and stood silently in a pool of blood.

Under its feet, there were countless purple-skinned, red-eyed, single-horned creatures. Their cheeks were covered in inch-long hair. They looked like humans and beasts at the same time.

The third painting was of the human in the first painting. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground and talking to a figure standing on a mountain peak in the distance.

Looking closely, the figure on the mountain peak had dark skin and a small body. He was only covered with a few pieces of cloth. His hair was covered with tattoos, and a snake was holding his ears. There seemed to be something moving in his eyes.

The human in the painting was particularly tall and burly. The black figure standing on the peak of the mountain only looked at him in the eye.

Wait a minute!

PEI Ling suddenly felt that something was amiss. He repeatedly compared the proportions of the three murals and realized that the so-called human race in the third mural was not exaggerated. Instead, the other party was truly taller than a mountain.

This was not a human!

PEI Ling quickly thought of the trembling and tall servant when he won the outer sect competition and the ten clans knelt to congratulate him. Chapter 228,229 of Volume One.

He still remembered that the servant's appearance was no different from a human's, except that he was exceptionally tall and burly, at least a hundred feet tall.

Even if they were prostrating on the ground, they were still higher than normal humans.

In addition, the alien races in the second mural and the black charcoal figure in the third mural were also among the 10 races who were kneeling on the ground.

This was an ancient site of a foreign race.

Moreover, the same giant appeared in all three murals. If he was not mistaken, this historical site was the residence or tomb of this giant.

At the thought of this, PEI Ling controlled the vengeful spirits and demonic beasts to continue exploring the path, exploring deeper.

The sky in this place did not seem to change between day and night.

He walked for a long time, but what he saw was still the dark and silent dusk.

After a long while, a slightly different building finally appeared in front of them.

It was a majestic palace that should have been white, but had turned milky white with the passage of time.

The palace was extremely tall, like a mountain rising from the ground.

However, under the corrosion of time, it was already riddled with holes.

From a distance, one could see that its semi-circular roof was filled with holes of all sizes.

There were countless small holes, potholes, and big holes, as if they were the houses of ordinary human beings. The entire Palace stood alone on a boundless desert, and the gate was closed, which was still intact.

Just as PEI Ling was observing from afar, the resentful souls and demonic beasts that were walking in front suddenly ignited at the same time. In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes.

A formation set up by a sixth grade spiritual fire?

PEI Ling was slightly surprised. If he did not have the vengeful spirits and demonic beasts to Scout the way, he would have suffered a small loss if he had rashly walked into this formation.

However, everything in this ancient site was in tatters due to the passage of time.

The aura of this sixth-grade Spirit Fire was already extremely weak, and it couldn't even be collected.

Although PEI Ling did not know anything about formations, he could still break them by force.

Thus, he directly slashed out hundreds of flashes of saber Qi.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh ...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

An unfamiliar formation suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground. It struggled unwillingly for a moment, and in the end, the formation and its base were destroyed, leaving only a large pit filled with saber Qi.

PEI Ling activated the [ art of managing ghosts ] and summoned two more vengeful spirits to Scout the way.

However, he had only taken two steps when his feet sank. He had stepped on a trap.

Shua!

A dusky-yellow air blade appeared out of thin air and slashed at his throat.

PEI Ling hurriedly circulated the [ nether ghost escape technique ] to avoid the Qi blade, but the two vengeful spirits in front of him were killed on the spot.

After regaining his balance, he frowned. The places he had just stepped on were all passed by vengeful spirits.

However, the resentful souls did not have a physical body. They could trigger the formation, but they could not trigger the traps. Fortunately, he was fast enough.

At the thought of this, he immediately took out a puppet from his storage bag to Scout the way.

The puppets had only advanced a few feet when they triggered a trap. This time, a few huge corpse puppets that were in tatters appeared.

From their appearance, they should have been the original guards of the ancient monument, and they should have been very powerful in the past.

However, under the corrosion of time, it had already fallen to the foundation establishment level.

PEI Ling did not hesitate and slashed out his blade Qi on the spot ...

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh ...

It was easily resolved in a short while.

Following that, he encountered a few more traps and formation guards ...

After a battle that was not too intense, he quickly arrived at the entrance of the palace with his strength that far exceeded cultivators of the same realm.

At this moment, PEI Ling discovered that the gate, which was a full 300 meters tall, was carved with all sorts of patterns of a hundred races.

There were many kinds of alien races on the list, most of which he had never seen before. He could not even name them.

However, after a quick glance, he realized that the ten clans that won the outer sect competition were not here.

It seemed like this Palace should be the core of this ancient site.

It was also the most dangerous place in this mission.

PEI Ling ordered the puppet and the vengeful spirit to continue exploring the way inside. However, just as the puppet stepped forward and touched the door, it suddenly lost all its wits and fell to the ground with a " clang ", completely motionless.

The vengeful spirit tried to pass through the door, but it dissipated after a sharp scream.

Seeing this, PEI Ling frowned and summoned a few more vengeful spirits. He ordered them to sneak in through the wall and took out a puppet to try to dig a hole in the wall.

However, without exception, whether it was a resentful spirit or a puppet, when they touched the walls or the door of the palace, they either dissipated or died.

Seeing this, PEI Ling directly smacked the door with his palm.

BOOM!

Unlike the once majestic stone sculptures he saw along the way, the gate, which had also experienced an unknown number of years, did not move at all.

There were no traces of any protective arrays in the surroundings. It seemed that the material and weight of this door itself had reached the point where even a late-stage golden core cultivator's blow would not be able to shake it in the slightest.

PEI Ling frowned and drew out the nine souls saber, slashing horizontally.

Clang!

The saber Qi whistled as it struck the door, but it did not leave a single mark on it.

Seeing this, PEI Ling took a few steps closer and was about to try other methods when he saw the door suddenly make a " ka ka ka " sound and automatically open to both sides.
