In the center of the Simm Plains, tens of thousands of Monks were digging in the ruins.
There were many ruins of buildings from thousands of years ago, but some of the items were still well preserved.
Although some items were not of high value, treasures like jewelry, jade, gold, and silver were sometimes discovered in large quantities. This was also one of the reasons why various sects made exceptions to excavate.
At the edge of the ruins, a burly man crossed his arms and looked down with a frown.
"Elder Ling, how much did you get today?”
At this moment, a voice came from afar.
"I've gained quite a lot." Ling Chengyun looked at the person who had come and said indifferently.
"Then why do you look unhappy?”The person who spoke was a woman. She was tall and had a hint of charm.
"Doesn't Elder Yan find it strange?”Ling Chengyun said.
"What's strange about it?" Yan Xiangliu asked in confusion.
" The Floating Essence Sect was considered a super sect back then. However, I've read the history books. The Floating Essence Sect suddenly disappeared less than a thousand years after it advanced into the Spirit Realm in Xuanling Continent. Now that it's been excavated, the buildings inside are well preserved. There are no traces of a large amount of treasures being moved. It's like…"
"It's as if they suddenly disappeared overnight and couldn't be moved in time.”Yan Xiangliu said calmly.
"Yes, I think something must have happened back then.”Ling Chengyun raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"So what if it's strange? It's been thousands of years, and we're still alive and well. You're thinking too much.”Yan Xiangliu stretched her back, revealing her perfect curves.
The Floating Essence Sect was considered a super sect back then, but that was before the Xuanling Continent had advanced to the Spirit Realm.
After advancing to the Spiritual Realm, the Floating Essence Sect had already gone downhill and could not keep up with the pace of the times. It was inevitable that they would fall.
Moreover, the Drifting Essence Sect at that time was really incomparable to the current few major sects.
Therefore, even though the Floating Essence Sect had enjoyed boundless glory back then, it was at most a small sect now and was not worth mentioning.
The reason why the various sects had flooded into this barren land was because of the frequent disappearance of people on the Simm Plains. Moreover, the magical beasts here were extremely ferocious and had already begun to eat a large number of humans.
The various sects had already organized several crusade teams to patrol the surroundings.
If not for the discovery of the Drifting Essence Sect's ruins and the large number of natives being eaten, the sect would not have intervened.
"Elder, we caught a madman.”
At this moment, a disciple hurriedly ran over and bowed.
"Madman?" Ling Chengyun was stunned." Lead the way."
After a while, the two of them followed the disciple to the front of the sentry tower and saw a ragged rogue cultivator talking crazily under the disciple's control.
His body was in pieces, and there were bloodstains on his body. His eyes were unfocused, as if he had not eaten for a few days. His mind was already in a mess.
" They will die. Everyone will die. It's too terrifying. Run, run…" The madman muttered. He would shout crazily at times and dance wildly in fear at other times.
When the disciples asked him, he could not explain the whole situation. He was already scared silly by something.
"Which direction did he come from?" Ling Chengyun looked at the madman and asked.
"Elder, he came from the north.”
" North, desert area." Ling Chengyun turned to the north.
It was indeed a desert area. After the various sects came, they only controlled the main areas of the plains, and the desert area over there was not under their jurisdiction.
Moreover, this land was vast, and they did not have the energy to control the entire plain.
Other than the ruins being heavily searched, the outer areas were basically not carefully investigated, and the desert area was even more deserted.
Of course, recently, there had been cultivators going missing. Sometimes, they would even see the corpses of itinerant cultivators. This was also the reason why the various sects were paying more and more attention to it.
In the past, they had also encountered powerful magical beasts. There were magical beasts at the level of Great Spirit Masters, and occasionally, magical beasts at the level of Spirit Kings.
They were more powerful and ferocious, and more difficult to deal with.
Bai Yixiao of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect reported this matter immediately and took action. He immediately rushed over after removing his disciples.
The Martial God Sect's Ling Chengyun had naturally reported this matter as well. However, the higher-ups did not seem to take it seriously. They had only agreed to transfer 100 Spirit Master disciples.
"Follow me." After thinking for a moment, Ling Chengyun waved his hand and immediately led a dozen disciples to fly north.
Yan Xiangliu watched them leave and didn't want to follow them. With Ling Chengyun leading the team, there wouldn't be anything that couldn't be solved.
In the north, Ling Chengyun and his subordinates stood at the edge of the desert. They looked into the distance and saw a steeple looming.
Ling Chengyun was shocked when he saw the minaret.
He hadn't noticed it before. There were actually ancient buildings in the depths of the desert. Could it be that there were ancient ruins inside?
"Enter." Ling Chengyun flew up, and his subordinates immediately followed and ran towards the minaret.
Two hours later, they arrived at the spire. Ling Chengyun frowned as he looked at the mosquitoes circling the spire.
Suddenly, his expression changed.”
As he spoke, Ling Chengyun's aura soared. With a flip of his hand, a two-meter-long hammer appeared out of thin air.
With a loud shout, he flew down like a desert.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a gigantic hand reached out from the ground and grabbed the hammer.
Seeing this, Ling Chengyun's expression changed drastically. His Martial God Hammer was a Spirit Tool. Coupled with the strength of a Spirit Paragon, even a Spirit Paragon of the same level would not dare to take it head-on. However, it was caught by this unknown hand.
Then, the monsters below could be seen how strong they were.
"Ah, pfft."
Suddenly, a scream came from afar. Ling Chengyun turned around and saw a disciple suddenly pierced through by a tail thorn from the ground and died on the spot.
When he looked again, a huge truck-sized Sand Scorpion emerged from the ground.
It was another Spirit King level monster.
Ling Chengyun had never thought that there would be a Spirit King level Sand Scorpion and a giant hand monster that was comparable to a Spirit Paragon here.
A head that was like a stone appeared from under the giant hand. When it completely crawled out, a humanoid monster that was six to seven meters tall stood up.
Roar!
The humanoid monster was extremely tall. Its entire body was grayish black, and its skin was as hard as stone. It looked at the tiny Ling Chengyun with disdain.
"Master's forbidden area, intruders, kill!”
The giant monster said coldly and stiffly. Then, one of its large hands grabbed at Ling Chengyun.
When Ling Chengyun heard this, he was also shocked. This monster actually had a master. Even its subordinates were so strong. Then what kind of strength did its so-called master have?
However, although this giant monster was huge, Ling Chengyun could still deal with it. He could not help but be furious.
Immediately, a bright light shone, and they began to fight with the giant monster.
In the distance, the dozen disciples of the Martial God Sect did not want to be outdone either. They surrounded the Sand Scorpion and began to fight.
