Chapter 974 The Golden Lands


    ??In the Sky Heart ins, there are three mystery ins: Berserker Beast in, Ancient Sky Battlefield in, and Devil Mountains in.


    These three ins were called mystery ins because, first, their environments orws werepletely different from the Sky Heart ins, and cultivators experienced strange restrictions on them.


    Second, no one has ever been able to discover their inner mysteries, for anyone who went deep into these ins never came back. Even the Mortal Sky Heart Empire was no exception.


    In the entire Sky Heart ins these three ces were the only ce which wasn''t under the authority of the Mortal Sky Heart Empire. As for their names, no one knows who named them, but they exist as long as the Sky Heart ins. That was one of the unsolved mysteries of the mystery ins.


    However, what no one knows is within the Ancient Sky Battlefield in, there exists a holynd for cultivators, which was under the control of the Imperial Family for ages, the Golden Lands!


    ording to the imperial family records, this ce was discovered by one of their ancestors, and he discovered many things here, which was also the foundation of the imperial family''s power.


    No one knows this secret, and the imperial family didn''t even need to protect it because no one dared to explore the mystery ins. Even they can only move in the goldennds and don''t dare to explore the other parts of the Ancient Sky Battlefield.


    At this moment, Ace''s hooded figure appeared at the edge of a ruined ancient city. He was astounded when he saw ruins of buildings, and they seemed to be made of gold!


    Furthermore, when he looked around, he found this entire ce seemed to have gone through a terrifying battle and was covered in a strange, gloomy aura.


    ''This is goldennds?'' Ace mused as he clearly wasn''t imagining this ruin when he learned about the goldennds, a paradise on earth.


    Suddenly, Ace noticed that he was close to the broken wall of this ruined city, and outside it were crimson ins without any greenery. His heart jolted when he suddenly sensed terrifying murderous intent!


    For some strange reason, that murderous intent wasn''t affecting the inside of the city.


    ''Don''t tell me that prince saw through my sham and sent me to some dangerous ce?'' Ace''s expression sank as this ce was giving him the creeps, and it was his first time seeing such a thing.


    Ace quickly opened the live fate map, and to his surprise, this entire ce was dyed in light silver color, which waspletely unexpected. Even the crimson ins were the same!


    ''I should explore. I don''t believe that guy saw through my lies so quickly. He said this talisman could only send me to the outer region of the goldennds.'' Ace calmed down. He stored away the golden talisman and began to move toward the depths of the ruined city.


    As he got deeper, he began to see broken armor and weapons scattered around; he could only imagine the massive battle that happened in this ce countless years ago. There was no one around patrolling the ce which made it even stranger since this was supposed to be the secret of the imperial family.


    Soon, Ace footstepse to halt when he saw towering bronze walls which should be the inner region of the city and those walls werepletely intact, and he was surprised when he discovered a powerful grade-8 formation covered the inner region, the fate map easily discovered it.


    Furthermore, only now did he spot a fate point, and this belonged to a cultivator of Early stage Law Comprehension Realm!


    ''This should be the ce. But it sure didn''t look like a mining site. Don''t tell me the part about grade-8 Qi stone and Soul crystal mines were really a rumor?'' Ace''s expression bes grave since he took this risk for those two things.


    Nheless, he carefully crept toward the inner-city walls, and he made sure to take a detour around the cultivator overseeing this ce. Now that he was here, he wasn''t going to leave until he discovered what was this ce and its secrets.


    Using the Twilight Traverse, he flew toward the inner city, and what he saw on the other side was shocking.


    There were ancient buildings seemingly made with gold, and unlike the ruined city outside, they werepletely intact. In the center of this ce were two massive mountains with multiple caves closed with runic doors.


    Just by entering this ce, Ace felt extremely dense Qi like never before, and in the fate map, those two mountains were dyed in glittering silver color. His lips curled up in an ted smile as he instantly guessed that those two mountains should be his targets!


    There wasn''t anyone else in the buildings, and the cultivator within the walls didn''t notice him either, so he directly flew towards the center where the mountains were located.


    Hended a few hundred meters away from the mountains, and now that they were within his thief sense range, the fate map finally spotted 14 more cultivators scattered throughout the mountains. Shockingly, 12 of them were Law Comprehension Realm Cultivators, and two of them were Law Awareness Realm Cultivators.


    ''Don''t tell me all these people belonged to the imperial family? They really hide their forces well.'' Ace thought as he slowly crept toward the left mountain, which was giving off dense martial Qi.


    But he didn''t climb it, instead he headed in south side where he felt intense Qi fluctuation. Soon, he discovered a huge bronze door engraved with beast images and mysterious runes; it waspletely sealed, and no one was there.


    ''This should be the ce?'' Uncertain, Ace carefully approached the door and tried to pass through it with Twilight Traverse.


    But he was shocked when the moment he tried to touch the door, he was repelled by an invisible force!


    This was the first time the Twilight Traverse had failed him, and shock was written all over his face.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ''Don''t tell me a formation above grace-8 is protecting this ce?!'' Ace shuddered, just thinking about this possibility, ''Could it be the lost grade-9 formation?''


    Ace had unlocked the grade-9 arrays, and he even had the forbidden runes of grade-10 from the system. He knew they didn''t exist in the mortal sky heaven and were considered forbidden for some reason. But now this ancient door was stopping his advance, so he couldn''t help but think about them.


    Nheless, Ace had another method, the Heaven''s Stealer Dismantler Principles, which has nine grades, and he just happened to be a grade-9 dismantler!
