Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 798 - 291: Taoyuan Ruins

Although the Magic Array was illusory, the magic power of Yun Sheng, the Junior Fate Magic Emperor from the Magic Temple, was real and penetrated the Magic Array, transmitting to an unknown place on the continent.

At this moment, somewhere on the continent, whether it be day or night, its sky would certainly be dominated by a powerful Magic Array.

The Magic Array would project the location of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts.

In a place on Wuji Continent, Chang Siming and Xia Wenxu used their formidable magic power and cultivation to form a Magic Array that emitted a glowing light,

and the Starry Sky Magic Array began to change slowly.

In Yun Sheng’s opinion, the current situation was very much like a modern documentary filming.

The Starry Sky Magic Array, just like a helicopter cruising high in the sky.

The Magic Array clearly projected the region where the Divine Artifact was hidden.

Before everyone’s eyes, the first thing that appeared was a range of endless mountains.

The mountains were very high, undulating in succession, with the range estimated to be two to three thousand meters above sea level, bordering a vast blue ocean.

The terrain of the mountains was rugged, with many trees; looking up from the foothill to the mountain, there was only one passage into this mountain range.

That was a lifesaving path, located between the mountain and the sea, narrow enough for only one horse to pass through, winding upwards to an unknown destination.

What caught people’s attention was that one side of the mountain path had steep cliffs, while the other side was a sheer abyss adjoining the deep sea.

On the deep sea, raging waves soared to the sky, occasionally beating against the mountain walls.

"Look, is there some architecture on the mountain?" someone from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp exclaimed softly.

No one expected that on this mountain range, akin to a deadly trap linked to the sky, there would suddenly appear a considerably large construction.

Looking from a distance, buildings were sparsely scattered at the highest point of the mountain range, looking like a city.

The light from the Magic Array grew even stronger, revealing the full vista of the city located at the summit of the mountains gradually to everyone.

The city was deserted with ruins and fragmented walls everywhere, apparently uninhabited for many years.

The younger generation present had no idea where this place was.

"That is the Taoyuan Ruins. Unexpectedly, the Divine Artifact is actually hidden there."

Almost at a glance, several of the elders present recognized those ruins.

The Great Elder’s face became more solemn by a few shades, but at the same time, mixed with a touch of relief.

Xia Wenxu also stared intently at the phantom ruins in the Magic Array.

Through the Great Elder’s narration, Yun Sheng and others roughly understood the origins of the Taoyuan Ruins within the Eastern Capital.

The Taoyuan Ancient Ruins were a very mysterious location on the continent, situated in the Taiyuan Mountain Range.

Taiyuan Mountain was originally called Wuming Mountain, located at the junction of the mountain and the sea, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. However, due to its treacherous terrain and demon beasts appearing nearby, for a period of time, Wuming Mountain Range was seldom visited by people.

This situation persisted until the emergence of a Penglai person named Taiyuan, who improved it.

Taiyuan was a Penglai Royal Family member with exceptional talent. It is said that he was once a Prince of Penglai Country, but because of the rise of the Summoning Court, the Penglai royal power was seized.

Taiyuan could only leave Penglai in indignation.

To avoid the Summoning Court and to re-establish his own power, he and his family have been searching for a suitable habitat throughout the continent.

He finally arrived in the vicinity of Wuming Mountain, where he discovered the mountain’s natural defenses that were easy to protect but difficult to attack, and its proximity to the ocean allowed for the development of shipping and ports.

Thus, Taiyuan brought his family over, renaming Wuming Mountain to Taiyuan Mountain, and there they established a small city-state-like retreat from the world.

Even the later cities of Dihong City and Sky Wing City were patterned after the form of Taiyuan City at that time.

However, not long after the establishment of Taiyuan Town, the town was struck by a series of Heavenly Thunders in a single day, reducing the entire Taiyuan City to ruins under their force.

Some said that the destruction of Taiyuan City was due to Taiyuan’s carelessness in his breakthrough attempt, which accidentally brought down the Heavenly Thunder and led to the demise of the city.

Since the fall of Taiyuan City, there have been continuous expeditions to the Taiyuan Mountain Range.

There were rumors on the continent that as a Penglai Prince, Taiyuan carried with him treasures, and some even said that he had accumulated considerable wealth in Taiyuan City.

The overnight downfall of Taiyuan City left countless treasures still within its confines.

At that time, about three to four hundred Martial Artists, Mages, and Summoners who went there in search of enlightenment never returned after entering the ruins.

Some said that this was because terrifying Demon Beasts from ancient times had appeared in the ruins.

Others claimed that within the Taiyuan ruins, there was an Ancient Magic Array left from ancient times, and many powerful beings had entered this Magic Array only to leave the Wuji Continent.

But all these were just legends.

Everyone who entered the Taiyuan Ruins never reappeared.

This ruin is known as one of the continent’s forbidden territories.

It is rumored that this forbidden territory still holds many Demon Beasts from the Eight Desolate Period, and more uniquely, the territory itself is a Prohibition.

However, since at the time Taiyuan was at the Magic Emperor Level when he attracted the Heavenly Thunder, from then on, there was a saying on the continent that experts above Magic Emperor Level could not enter the Taiyuan Ruins, as it may trigger a second Heavenly Thunder.

Anyone with cultivation higher than Holy Domain King or at Emperor Level was forbidden to enter. Forcing entry would trigger the Ancient Five Thunder Prohibition, ruthlessly striking down the intruder.

Even Divine-level experts dared not rashly enter the Ancient Forbidden Land.

There had been early suspicions that no one ever imagined the Divine Artifact would be hidden within the Taiyuan Ruins.

The restrictions of the Prohibition meant that the powerful Xia Wenxu from the Magic Temple would be unable to enter this time, which secretly pleased other powers but greatly angered the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

"The place where the Divine Artifact has been unearthed is evident. I request all major powers to gather at the Taiyuan Ruins within three days," stated Xia Wenxu, his voice undisturbed by ripples.

The Magic Wave subsided, and the Starry Sky Magic Array disappeared.

Outside, the day was already bright. Despite a sleepless night, no one felt the urge to sleep now.

The emergence of the Taiyuan Ruins brought clues to the Divine Artifact, but at the same time, it also brought about a new crisis.

In the Elder Camp, everyone remained silent. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"To think that the Divine Artifact would be hidden in the Taiyuan Ruins," the Great Elder also hadn’t expected such a perilous location.

If the Great Elder was once confident about this Divine Artifact retrieval mission, he was now starting to have second thoughts.

After all, the ten trainees selected from the Mainland Elite Camp were all the strongest trainees.

If anything were to happen to these individuals, the future of the entire continent would be severely affected.

Moreover, with the Bahuang Tribe eyeing the continent covetously, a loss among the trainees would lead the Great Elder to deep regret.
