Chapter 277: Everyone Rushes In!
This enormous blue hall stands several hundred meters tall and is covered with a vast number of runes. If it weren't for this, Xiao Ze wouldn't have described it as vast and endless.
Thus, even though these runes transformed into a stream flowing towards the central rune in Xiao Ze's palm, it still took some time.
The Great Elder appeared next to Xiao Ze, and his presence calmed some uneasy glances. Seeing this scene, even those who weren't very powerful knew that Xiao Ze had definitely obtained this set of protective runes.
Remembering that this set of protective runes could resist even the attacks of a Dou Zun, they couldn't help but feel envious and greedy. In times of great interest, they wouldn't care about your status. If given the opportunity, they would certainly act.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the Great Elder extinguished all their thoughts. After a while, the runes, like a stream, finally calmed down. When the last pale blue rune fused, Xiao Ze held it in his hand.
Feeling the overwhelming energy within it, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Ze's face. After refining this central rune, Xiao Ze realized that this set of protective runes wasn't complete. If he could complete it, it might even withstand a high-level Dou Zun.
In the end, it was the wear of time that had deteriorated it. However, the current result also left Xiao Ze satisfied, having obtained a set of protective runes capable of resisting the attacks of a Dou Zun.
Xiao Ze noticed the envious and jealous glances directed at him and simply smiled indifferently. Aside from him, no one else here could probably refine this set of protective runes. After all, that central rune constantly changed positions among the vast sea of runes. Without understanding the set of runes and without keen soul perception, it would be impossible to capture it, let alone refine it. Their envy and jealousy were useless.
Of course, if they were willing to take the risk and wanted to snatch the central rune from Xiao Ze, they would have to consult the Great Elder first. Xiao Ze nodded to the Great Elder and both quickly returned to their previous position. Seeing their actions, everyone couldn't help but curse silently, thinking they were really people who didn't want to take the slightest risk.
But there will always be someone willing to act first. Venerable Huangquan, who was closest to the great hall, launched a dou qi attack at the door, blowing it open. Seeing that the door was finally opened, Venerable Huangquan's expression improved a bit. Although he wasn't the one who disabled the protective runes, at least he was the one who opened the door. He could only console himself this way.
Seeing the door of the great hall finally open, countless eyes filled with excitement, and the other great forces also began to move, rushing in en masse.
Xiao Ze smiled slightly as he saw everyone enter smoothly. Exchanging a look with the Great Elder, both rushed into the great hall. Upon entering the great hall, they felt its enormous size. Compared to this great hall, the outer palaces seemed really insignificant.
Moreover, the routes inside the great hall were intricate and complex, making it difficult to navigate. However, those cultivators weren't so meticulous; wherever they passed, they frantically searched everywhere.
"Xiao Ze, let's go this way."
The Great Elder suddenly pointed to the western path and explained, "There seem to be traces of medicines there."
Hearing this, Xiao Ze immediately nodded. With his current level, unless they were advanced dou techniques or methods, he wouldn't really be tempted. Instead, the medicinal formulas passed down from ancient times attracted him much more.
After all, as an alchemy master, if he spread the news, countless people would rush to offer him dou techniques and advanced methods.
Just then, a stone bead suddenly hit Xiao Ze's head and fell into his palm. The Great Elder, about to move, looked at Xiao Ze and fixed his gaze on the stone bead. "Xiao Ze, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, let's continue." Xiao Ze shook his head and followed the Great Elder westward, though he didn't discard the stone bead that had fallen into his hand.
The appearance of this stone bead was very strange, as it completely ignored the illusory domain's protective barrier around Xiao Ze. Normally, even if the stone bead fell on Xiao Ze, it should have been repelled by the illusory domain before approaching his body. But this stone bead ignored Xiao Ze's illusory domain.
Xiao Ze rubbed the bead with his fingers, unable to obtain useful information. He tried using his soul power with the help of the illusory domain to penetrate the bead. However, to his surprise, the soul power couldn't penetrate it. This made Xiao Ze even more interested in the stone bead.
Along the way, Xiao Ze devoted part of his mind to investigating the bead. As they moved forward, Xiao Ze began to perceive a faint medicinal aroma.
Not long after, Xiao Ze saw a pagoda, and in the square in front of it, several people were standing. When they saw Xiao Ze, they became visibly excited. Everyone stepped aside, allowing Xiao Ze and the Great Elder to move forward.
Xiao Ze glanced at them, and they all smiled flatteringly.
"You don't need to flatter me like that. The runes on this pagoda are not protective, but selective. You can climb as high as your abilities allow."
At that moment, someone in the crowd protested, "Then why couldn't we get in before? It can't be that this pagoda only allows Dou Zuns, right?"
"It's because you haven't activated the selection yet." Xiao Ze shook his head and launched a ray of energy, causing the pagoda to emit a dazzling light.
Seeing this, even the Great Elder nodded slightly in approval. He hadn't expected that, on this expedition to the ancient ruins with Xiao Ze, his own experience wouldn't have been as useful and that they would rely so much on Xiao Ze.
Seeing the pagoda activated, everyone became excited, but no one dared to enter first. After all, it was Xiao Ze who activated it, and if he didn't show any intention of letting them pass first, they wouldn't dare to.
Xiao Ze and the Great Elder nodded and entered together. Only then did the others rush in, entering the pagoda en masse.
Upon entering the pagoda, Xiao Ze felt a great pressure on himself, but he only had to shake slightly to fully adapt to it.
"Let's go. There are no good medicinal ingredients or pills on this level." The Great Elder glanced around and told Xiao Ze.
They both moved forward without stopping too much, collecting medicinal formulas along the way. They only collected ingredients and pills that truly interested them. Most common pills didn't impress two alchemy masters like them.
Clang! Xiao Ze struck the energy barrier in front of him and sighed, surprised that, despite the passage of time, this barrier was still so strong.
"The protective force of the last level is so high that it makes me anticipate even more what will be inside."
