Chapter 1503: Chapter 31: The Giant Gate Closes

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by an earth-shattering noise, the gigantic city gate finally opened.

Many people soared into the sky, heading towards the ancient city.

"Let’s go." said Lin Feng, flying towards the ancient city with Poison Ancestor.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a cold killing intent. Looking into the distance, he discovered members of the Three-eyed Golden Lion Clan coldly staring at him, their eyes filled with an unrestrained murderous aura.

Xin Dao Yuan and the Little Lion King were among that group of cultivators from the Three-eyed Golden Lion Clan.

This time, the Three-eyed Golden Lion Clan had sent many experts.

They didn’t immediately take action but gave Lin Feng a deep look before entering the ancient city.

"They definitely will not let things rest; there will surely be a battle!"

Poison Ancestor said.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "No harm, there’s nothing to worry about."

Subsequently, Lin Feng and Poison Ancestor entered the ancient city.

This ancient city was overwhelmingly vast, with a single street being four to five miles wide. The entire city stretched endlessly, spanning five to six thousand miles, massive beyond belief.

"Look at the knife scars, sword holes, and bloodstains on the ground..." Many people who entered the ancient city pointed towards the ground.

The knife scars, sword holes, and dried bloodstains were extremely prominent. It’s unknown how much blood was shed here in the past.

"An unimaginable battle must have occurred within this ancient city, and the corpses outside are probably closely related to that great battle." Someone noted. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This statement gained wide agreement, and people continuously flew deeper into the city.

Some entered the shops on both sides of the streets to search for items.

"So many things have never been touched. We’re going to strike it rich..." Someone found treasures and immediately shouted in excitement.

But soon, fierce fighting broke out, as cultivators massacred each other intensely over treasures. Such scenes were played out in many corners of the ancient city.

Lin Feng and Poison Ancestor kept flying towards the depths, where they saw a statue, prompting them both to stop.

It was a statue of a woman.

The woman exuded a kind of holy radiance, holding two objects: the first was a scroll, and the second was a jade bottle containing golden soil.

"Is this Nuwa’s statue?" an old cultivator exclaimed in shock.

Lin Feng nodded, "It should be Nuwa’s statue, and what Nuwa holds should be the legendary Mountain River Society Map and the Nine Heavens Soil?"

The Mountain River Society Map contains heaven and earth, nourishing the celestial beings, and can transform to create all things.

Moreover, it is said that the Mountain River Society Map is a map of heaven and earth before the Sky Opening Era, recording many secrets and treasure locations.

After the Sky Opening Era, the Mountain River Society Map actively evolved into the forms of All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, and the evolution of the Three Realms and Six Paths was ultimately formed based on the map’s evolution.

The Mountain River Society Map contains the Great Thousand Universe, mountains and rivers, strange and varied sights, sun, moon, and stars, flora and fauna, birds and beasts, mountains, rivers, and earth veins... and boundless spiritual energy within the spiritual treasure nurtures countless lives, all birthed and extinguished, seemingly creating a real small world within the map. Even primordial life entering the map without a Supreme Treasure would be trapped for life; even wielding a Supreme Treasure, one would be gravely injured while escaping.

Thus, this Mountain River Society Map not only records countless treasures from the Innate World but also possesses extraordinary combat power, capable of trapping even primordial life.

It is a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, one of the Ten Great Inborn Spiritual Treasures, like Nuwa’s other Supreme Treasure, the Red Embroidery Ball.

The soil in that jade bottle also has an extraordinary origin.

A handful of yellow soil reveals a peculiar golden hue, neither gold nor not, spreading out like several acres of yellow mist, defending a target, preventing any advancement. Striking into the yellow cloud feels like hitting a cotton ball, rendering it untouchable. During the Sky Opening Era, Lady Nuwa bestowed it upon the Human Emperor to counteract the devastating deluge unleashed after the death of Gong Gong.

Legend has it that the Nine Heavens Soil is the progenitor of earth and a Holy Artifact of the Human Clan. Even the Slaying Immortals Sword cannot do anything against it. It expands with the wind, with infinite transformative uses. The yellow cloud swells, mirroring the adversaries, moving with them, resilient and dense; big as you are, big is it; small as you are, small is it; growing and shrinking with external forces, unassailable.

Whether the Mountain River Society Map or Nine Heavens Soil, both are Innate Treasures, two of the treasures within Nuwa’s Treasure Vault.

"Who sculpted such a statue of Nuwa, and crafted the forms of the Mountain River Society Map and Nine Heavens Soil?" someone wondered, puzzled.

What Nuwa’s statue holds are not the real Mountain River Society Map and Nine Heavens Soil, but merely carvings.

The real Mountain River Society Map and Nine Heavens Soil have been missing since Nuwa’s fall.

Poison Ancestor said, "There’s a rumor that Nuwa is buried in this city. Whether this rumor is true remains to be seen, but one thing is almost certain: this ancient city should have a relationship with Nuwa, right?"

Everyone nodded.

The appearance of Nuwa’s statue within the ancient city indeed suggests a significant connection to Nuwa.

Many people dispersed to continue searching for treasures, while some harbored hopes of finding Nuwa’s inheritance within the city.

If such an opportunity really exists, it would be an exceptional fortune, especially if one could find the Mountain River Society Map—such luck would be a blessing from one’s ancestors.

Lin Feng and Poison Ancestor also departed. Finding treasures was secondary; Lin Feng was more eager to uncover the secrets of this ancient city.

Is the great Nuwa truly buried here?

Did Suiren and the Xuan Yuan Clan shed blood in this ancient city?

Many questions lingered in Lin Feng’s mind as he and Poison Ancestor continued venturing deeper. But as darkness began to fall...

A loud clang resounded.

Everyone was startled, not understanding what had happened.

"Quick, go out and see..."

Many cultivators shouted, rushing towards the city gate.

Lin Feng and Poison Ancestor followed suit, heading to the gate along with many others.

Only upon arrival did they realize...

The once-open door had now shut.

"What on earth happened? Why did the gate close?"

Many people pushed against the gate, trying to force it open.

But no matter how hard they tried,

they couldn’t budge the gate.

"Are we going to be trapped here?" Many faces turned pale.

Some attempted to fly out through the sky, but a twisted space-time met them there.

Those still harboring a shred of hope dared to cross the distorted space-time,

only to be swept by its power, instantly shattered into a mist of blood, body and spirit destroyed, dying a most miserable death.
