Chapter 964 - 863: Thunder Sect Ruins
Although Duan Gujin obtained quite a few treasures, he still could not use them yet.The cultivation resources of those hundreds of demigod warriors previously slain by Wu Xiuqing were at least in the Breakthrough Realm, and most of the resources were now unusable by Duan Gujin and Mo Yan.
Duan Gujin didn't inquire Mo Yan about what treasures he had obtained, not wanting to be misunderstood.
Moreover, they were unaware of which divine realm force those warriors belonged to. If someone truly came after them, they might find it difficult to counter the opposition.
Looking at those treasures, Duan Gujin felt very pleased, knowing that if he could truly cultivate sooner, he could start using those treasures sooner as well.
"Some treasures I can take to sell!"
Then he thought it over and realized that with his current strength, he couldn't take those treasures out to sell.
He didn't know the origin of the treasures he held; if someone recognized their origin, it would spell big trouble.
Though Wu Xiuqing had previously told him to mention her name if any trouble arose.
But if the opponent still kills him after hearing her name, then there's no witness.
Therefore, Duan Gujin advised Mo Yan to keep the previous events to themselves, not mentioning them to outsiders and definitely not using the treasures in front of others.
Soon, news of hundreds of warrior corpses appearing outside spread throughout the Ascension Academy.
The academy quickly sent people to investigate. After several days of investigation, they found no leads.
With many experts in the Ascension Academy, the elders quickly determined that those who died had at least reached the Demigod Realm.
Clearly, those warriors were definitely not academy disciples, nor could they have been killed by academy disciples.
Among all the academy disciples, the highest cultivation was only Ninth-level Martial Saint.
The academy elders inferred from the remaining traces at the scene that those deceased were killed by Supreme God Realm experts.
However, the elders couldn't deduce how the warriors died from the traces left behind.
The elders didn't find any storage rings on the corpses, suggesting that the treasures were taken.
"It's likely that the treasures were taken after killing them!"
The elders concluded this.
Since the deceased were all demigod level, the elders did not suspect the academy disciples were involved.
Meanwhile, within the academy, Duan Gujin and Mo Yan continued to cultivate diligently without any relaxation.
Time flowed swiftly like water.
A month later, Duan Gujin and Mo Yan received orders from the Ascension Academy.
"Everyone, this time, we've identified twenty-nine bases. Each of you will receive a recording name plate and a teleportation plate. If you encounter danger, crush the teleportation plate to return! While completing this mission, you must follow the earlier rules and not harm each other! Your group's task this time is to search for the Thunder Sect Ruins from Ancient Times, located in a forbidden area on the Demigod-level Continent. The forbidden area is normally inaccessible; once we open it for you, you have ten days to finish the mission! Experts from the Divine Realm will handle transferring you to the ruins. The terrible corrosive forces within the forbidden area can hinder even Shattering Void Realm warriors from teleporting. I believe the treasures within the Thunder Sect Ruins remain! This time, Divine Realm experts will protect you from the forces within the forbidden area! Remember, should you face danger inside, don't expect Divine Realm experts to save you! Immediately find a safe place to hide from demons! If you can't avoid them, use the teleportation plate to return! Understand?"
An Ascension Academy elder explained the mission details to everyone.
"Understood!"
The disciples quickly replied.
"Good, follow me, I'll take you to the teleportation array!"
The elder told everyone to stand on the teleportation array, and once in place, activated the array to send them off.
After an uncertain duration, once the surrounding transmission power vanished, Duan Gujin opened his eyes, finding himself in a desolate location.
Surveying the area, he noticed many warriors like him nearby.
He quickly spotted Mo Yan among them.
"Mo Yan, stay with me so we don't get separated!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!"
Mo Yan deemed this mission akin to running blindly, knowing Divine Realm experts could stabilize the forces within the forbidden area for only ten days.
"Look there!"
At that moment, a series of explosive sounds thundered in the sky.
Everyone looked up, witnessing countless white light spheres shooting up into the sky.
Initially, the sky ahead was gray and filled with death energy.
As the light brightened the sky, the area became like daylight.
Nine sun-like light clusters appeared in the sky, motionless.
"Those are the Divine Light Sky Lanterns from the Divine Realm!"
Duan Gujin exhaled heavily, realizing the Divine Realm experts had acted.
"Everyone, proceed! Be cautious of demons within. Only you can locate the Thunder Sect Ruins! You can team up or not!"
An academy elder shouted.
"Shall we team up?"
Mo Yan asked.
"Sure!"
Duan Gujin knew the mission would count for points, though how was not explained by the overseeing elders.
This dilemma left many warriors worried, unsure whether points would diminish with teamwork.
But if they didn't team up and encountered numerous demons, they'd be in trouble.
If they didn't handle it well, elimination was possible.
Many warriors had a similar thought: "If not teaming up, failing the test would mean no points! If teaming up, surviving meant at least getting some points!"
Understanding this, warriors quickly partnered up.
With ten days to find the Thunder Sect Ruins, relative to previous tests, this one has a longer duration.
