Kapitel 1036: Chapter 1036. Entering the Ruins.
They descended on the planet shortly after, arriving in front of the ruins where Violet and the Grand Elder fought. Yasenia expected the place to be completely ruined, but other than the surface area where they first clashed, which had melted and transformed into a crater filled with bubbling magma, the rest was relatively unharmed.
The most impressive part was the city. The walls were identical to before as if the collision between those immortals had been nothing but a weak wind gale. If you compared a before and after, there would be no apparent differences in terms of damage.
This startled Yasenia and the others. The resilience of these walls was unbelievable. Violet saw their looks of surprise and smiled faintly. "Ruin World is very sturdy. That's why so many people of my level feel comfortable living in this area, even though conflict may arise. As long as they are controlled, the clashes won't cause heavy damage or catastrophic chain reactions."
Evelyn asked. "I wonder how it was discovered that the world was so sturdy?"
Violet commented. "From what I heard, there were two Transcendent Realm cultivators that fought, disregarding this place, but other than decimating a large surface area of the planet, nothing else happened."
The girls remembered how the world had several large patches of deserts and others where there was vegetation and couldn't help but realize that the reason for such a varied environment was probably those two people who fought in the past.
"Should we go down?" Yasenia asked, and since nobody disagreed, the warship flew downward toward the ruins' entrance. The travel time was small, reaching that place in just a few moments.
The speed of the flying treasure surprised Violet, but she didn't say anything. Showing interest in the treasures of others could be taken wrongly, so she rather avoided that situation. 'Our relationships seem to be going in a good direction. An ally like them will surely benefit us. They are mysterious, but they are reasonable.'
After arriving at a nearby place, they all dismounted. Then, Yasenia waved her hand, enveloping the warship and absorbing it into her ring. This action made Violet even more confident in her conjecture that Yasenia was not a simple disciple and that her status was possibly equal to that of Ayanduin and Gu Chen. 'Interesting, two immortals following a mortal. She gets more and more mysterious as you get to know her.'
Violet commented. "Follow me. If I go too fast, tell me."
She then stepped forward and flashed ahead, the rest of the group following right after. Money, who was the weakest one of them, was always moved around by Ayanduin. So, she had no problem keeping up.
The entrance to the ruins was quite majestic. There was a gigantic stone plaza with two large lion-like statues at the sides of a massive gate. The area was predominantly beige, white, and grey. The aesthetic of the place, with buildings half collapsed and traces of time everywhere, gave an atmosphere of sacredness.
Violet slowed down and walked at a moderated speed.
Yasenia and the others saw a few other groups standing there when they approached the entrance. Yasenia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw one group made exclusively of Demons and another of Divines.
There were others where there was a mix. However, seeing these two races made Yasenia's pupils thin for a second. She had had enough encounters with these two races to find them quite an eyesore.
She asked aloud. "Are there a lot of Demons and Divines around?"
Violet blinked and looked at Yasenia's expression. Not detecting any superficial emotions, she answered sincerely. "There are a few. Demons and Divines are quite an overpowering race since their numbers are large. I have some Divine disciples in my own sect."
Yasenia hummed. "You have no Demons?"
Violet shook her head. "Demons are inherently evil. They are prone to violence due to their blood. I have a no-demon policy for recruitment in my sect. While we don't actively hunt them down, we also don't like to get involved with them."
Yasenia nodded. "That's great. What about Divines? I personally haven't heard many great things from them."
Violet pondered. "Divines are… okay? They have a lot of ambition and are quite sexually liberated. However, those are faults that many other races have as well, humans like me included." Violet joked. "Prohibiting their entrance while judging everyone else to the same standards would leave me without disciples."
Yasenia chuckled. "Fair enough."
When they approached the entrance, their group received quite a few gazes. The maids all wore a single uniform, and although it varied depending on what the maid specialized in, the themed attire was quite eye-catching. Other than that, the beauty index in our group was also high, which added another factor to their ability to gather the attention of others.
Violet exchanged a gaze with Gu Chen and Ayanduin. Then, the three of them released their aura once.
The place's pressure increased several times over for a few seconds, making some of the weaker ones almost collapse on the spot. Of course, the three seniors stopped right away, so no one got hurt.
The show of strength made many of them look away. Beauty was a temptation, but it was not worth dying over for most. Provoking a Sixth Realm cultivator was a taboo almost everywhere since their strength was just too high compared to mortal cultivators.
Some talented people were arrogant, ignoring all the warning signals, and had not only their lives taken away in an instant but their families exterminated. It was a common situation for entire families to pay for the faults of a single member if the other side was ruthless enough.
After all, no one liked someone from a forsaken family suddenly appearing in front of them for revenge with unfathomable strength.
Regardless, thanks to Violet, Gu Chen, and Ayanduin, the group made it to the gates without being stopped. Once there, Violet took out a jade tablet with the image of a rose. The rose had thirteen thorns and was colored a deep red. "Now, I need to envelop all of you with my sect's aura. Of course, this is just like a mark. If you want, you can erase it with a single thought after we enter through the formation."
The formation at the door was a vertical, gate-like formation that would analyze people to see if they were marked or not. If someone was unmarked, it would act as Violet previously explained, taking a picture and sending it to [Ruin World City] so that they were added to the "not welcomed" list.
Tatyana looked at the jade tablet and commented. "Can you envelop me first? I want to make sure that it really is not harmful." Tatyana added with a smile. "It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust those who created this."
Violet nodded. "Fair enough."
Then, a pink and green ray shot and hit Tatyana. The Death Empress looked at the energy enveloping her and hummed. "As expected, there is something here."
Violet blinked. "Huh?"
Tatyana smiled. "Don't worry. More than harmful, whoever gets hit with this item gets something like a 'tracker' on them. If the owner of these things wants to hunt down a specific person, they can."
Violet frowned. "Are you sure? No one I know has ever felt or discovered what you just said."
Tatyana shrugged. "You can trust me or not. That's not my problem. It is easy to reverse, though."
Violet pondered and heard Dandan speak. "Aunty- Cough, I mean, Sect Master! I think we should trust them. Yasenia wouldn't have shown us her dragon form if she didn't trust us somewhat!"
The woman hummed and nodded. "Okay, I'll place my vote of confidence in you. However, once you lose it, I warn you that regaining it is very difficult."
Tatyana smiled. "We are similar in that regard. I hope you don't do anything strange later."
Everyone got marked afterward and passed through the formation without issues. Tatyana then proceeded to erase the item's traces from everyone, including Violet's group.
Yasenia looked around and commented. "This place is quite well preserved. Do people not fight inside of here?"
BOOM!
Yasenia blinked and turned her head together with everyone else only to see a Demon and a Divine, both at the peak of the mortal realms, fighting and causing havoc.
However, when they were thrown out and slammed onto a house, instead of the house blasting into pieces, the Demon stopped abruptly as if he had hit something unbelievably solid.
Andrea sighed in awe. "The architecture of this place is so intricate and profound. To think that these houses can resist peak-level mortal cultivators."
Violet smiled. "A city that can't resist peak-level mortal cultivators fighting is not going to last long. While my sect doesn't boast the same defensive capabilities compared to this place, I am quite proud of the inner parts that could resist mortal cultivators fighting without problems."
Zhang Dalong asked. "Sect Master, aren't those two from the [Seven Wings Sect] and [Flaming Horn Sect]?"
Violet looked pensive and nodded. "Oh~? Good catch. I wonder what happened to their truce."
The Demon shouted while clutching his back from the hit against the house. "You are going to pay for killing my sister!"
The Divine in the sky flapped his wings and snorted. "She had it coming! How dare she attack my little brother!?"
The Demon shouted back. "I told you that she wasn't attacking him! She was trying to get a bit of his Yang essence!"
Yasenia and the others deadpanned. The dragoness, completely uninterested in the rest of their conflict, commented. "Let's move on. Kali, where do we need to go?"
Kali closed her eyes for a second and pointed forward. "Straight ahead. It seems that the aura is coming from the middle of the city."
Violet looked at Kali with a raised eyebrow. "Oh? You've come here following an aura?"
Kali smiled and nodded, speaking gently. "Yes, Senior Violet. We want to go to the center of this city and explore there to see if what I am feeling is correct."
Violet shook her head, her face showing a bit of pity. "The center of this city has been sealed since it was discovered. You won't be able to pass through."
Yasenia sniffed the air and hummed. "Well, we won't lose anything for trying. Moreover, there are a few interesting treasures around here."
Violet blinked. "Are there? This place has been sucked dry to the limits."
Yasenia smiled. "We'll see if I can sniff out something~. Let's go!"
Everyone followed, and their group advanced, ignoring the two battling Demon and Divine at the side.
The Divine suddenly received a powerful blast and was thrown in our girl's direction. Tatyana attacked out of pure reflex at the incoming "projectile." A blast of Death Energy surged forward and slammed onto the Divine.
BOOM!
The Divine got shot back at several times the speed it was approaching, crashing against a distant house and losing consciousness. The Demon blinked twice, and seeing his "archnemesis" being slapped unconscious, he coughed. "Sorry, seniors. I'll take my fight with him to another place."
Tatyana nodded, not even apologizing. "Go ahead."
Violet's group had their eyebrows twitching while looking at Tatyana, not knowing how to react.
