The woman hesitated visibly upon hearing Su Chen's words.

"It's alright, don't force yourself if you don't want to say. I was just asking casually."

Su Chen said with a smile.

He was just curious that those few young people had reached the Condensation Pill Realm so early!

"You're a good person, so it should be fine to tell you."

The woman said thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Su Chen felt helpless once again.

Just a moment ago, she thought he was going to take advantage of her and was even ready to kill herself. Now, she was calling him a good person!

"Actually, we're all from the Ruin Realm."

The woman continued.

"Ruin Realm?!"

Su Chen's body shook violently upon hearing this, and he was incredibly surprised.

The Ruin Realm had been a question that plagued Su Chen for a long time!

He even sent the Shadow to search the whole world but found no trace of it!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, without any mental preparation, he heard the term Ruin Realm from the woman he had just saved!

So at first hearing, Su Chen was naturally extremely shocked and excited!

"Have you heard of it?"

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the woman was also a bit surprised, as very few people from the outside world knew of the Ruin Realm!

"Yes, I've heard about it by chance."

Su Chen nodded and said:

"But I don't understand it at all, I don't even know where it is."

"Actually, it's normal for you not to know because the Ruin Realm is an independent space."

Hearing Su Chen's words, the woman was not surprised and said:

"Although the Ruin Realm is an independent space world, it is very large inside. How large exactly, even I don't know!"

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help being shocked and then said:

"Can you tell me more about the Ruin Realm?"

Su Chen had finally met someone who knew about the Ruin Realm, and naturally, he didn't want to miss this opportunity!

"Yes."

The woman, grateful because Su Chen had just saved her, said:

"The Yuan Qi in the Ruin Realm is much denser than the outside world. In most places, it is several times that of the outside, and in some places, it is even ten times, so the cultivation speed is much faster than outside. Moreover, the various cultivation resources inside cannot be compared to the outside!"

Hearing this, Su Chen was again a bit shocked!

This means, the Yuan Qi there is even stronger than a mid-sized Gathering Yuan Formation, almost comparable to a large one!

"In the Ruin Realm, there are four major Spirit Veins. The reason why Yuan Qi is so dense there is because of the existence of the Spirit Veins!"

The woman continued:

"The major forces are centered around the four Spirit Veins, but the most powerful ones occupy the best positions on the Spirit Veins!"

Spirit Veins?

This was the first time Su Chen had heard this term, and he was filled with curiosity!

However, he suppressed his curiosity for the time being and listened to the woman continue to talk about the Ruin Realm.

Then, the woman told Su Chen everything she knew about the Ruin Realm in general.

After listening, Su Chen was a bit speechless, completely not expecting the Ruin Realm to be so mysterious and incredible!

Through the woman's narration, Su Chen understood that the Ximen Clan knew nothing about the Ruin Realm before!

Although the Ruin Realm exists, the Ximen Clan's wishful thinking of entering the Ruin Realm to gain richer cultivation resources was totally unrealistic!

If they went in with their level of strength, they would be worth nothing and would have no idea how they died!

"By the way, I still don't know your name, and what exactly happened earlier?"

While listening to the woman's account earlier, Su Chen had casually found a stone to sit on. Naturally, the woman sat down next to him as well.

"My name is Zhou Ying."

The woman said without hiding anything:

"Actually, the other two people and I are from a faction. We came out for business, and hearing about a disturbance in the Dark Forest, we decided to come and see if there were any treasures!"

"When we reached the pond, the person you just killed, who was about to reach the Condensation Pill Realm Middle Stage, felt that there was something unusual about the pond, so we came down to check."

"But not long after we came down, we didn't expect them to actually..."

Hearing this, Su Chen understood!

There was no one here, the environment could be said to be perfect, and there wasn't even anywhere good to escape to, so those two had malicious intentions!

In fact, that's exactly how it was. Before, Zhou Ying had traveled with them without incident, so she naturally let her guard down!

Upon hearing this, Su Chen didn't find it strange. Sometimes, certain special environments do tend to expose some dark aspects of people's hearts!

Moreover, Zhou Ying was indeed very attractive. Be it appearance or figure, she was high grade, so it's no wonder those two would have such thoughts!

"By the way, didn't you say that the Ruin Realm's cultivation resources are much more abundant and advanced than outside? Why would you still come to the Dark Forest?"

Su Chen looked at Zhou Ying and asked.

"Ah, the Ruin Realm indeed has rich cultivation resources, but how could it be our turn as small figures?"

Zhou Ying smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"However, the alterations in the Dark Forest are rare, and sometimes there might be unexpected gains here!"

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded in understanding, indeed, the Ruin Realm's resources are rich, but they are controlled by the major powers!

Not everyone in the Ruin Realm can enjoy sufficient cultivation resources!

In fact, not just the Ruin Realm, it's the same everywhere. The Ancient Martial World is no exception, with top-tier forces occupying the most and best resources!

For instance, with the current Dark Forest, even some first-rate forces or second-rate forces wouldn't dare enter!

Because this is a domain of top-tier forces, only an outlier like Su Chen would simply break in without hesitation!

"There's another question, with such high temperatures below this pond, how did you manage to get in?"

Su Chen asked curiously again.

Because in his estimation, even a middle-stage Condensation Pill Realm would have difficulty passing through the high temperatures to enter this water cave!

He, himself, mainly due to cultivating the Calm Spirit Body Technique, had a body much stronger than ordinary Martial Artists, thus he could pass through!

Even so, he had to grit his teeth and rely on sheer willpower to barely make it through!

But Zhou Ying and the other two were still in the primary stage of Condensation Pill, so it was indeed odd for them to have come this far.

"You're right, at first we never expected the temperatures below to be so high."

Zhou Ying nodded and said:

"However, one of the people you killed had a cloak that his elder accidentally obtained and gave to him. The cloak was a treasure, able to resist part of the high temperature, so we wrapped ourselves in it and managed to come down!"
