Meanwhile, everyone started to anticipate the Ancient Relics. They knew that what they were searching for currently was merely the outskirts of the Ancient Relics, and they had already obtained so many high-quality Daoist Crystals. Then, inside the center of the Ancient Relics, there must be more treasures, given that thousands of high-quality Daoist Crystals are something that even a typical Martial Artist of Great Perfection level doesn’t possess.

The group continued forward, with Ye Feng and his companions discovering that the Ancient Relics were actually a massive fortress. It seemed that a great battle had occurred here, leading to the fortress’s ruin. The entire city was filled with dangerous formations everywhere.

Time passed swiftly, and soon a day had gone by. Ye Feng and the others gained quite a bit, with Ye Feng breaking through many formations and entering three palaces to search for his fortune again.

Ye Feng obtained another two thousand high-quality Daoist Crystals, and when added to those from before, if exchanged for lower-quality Daoist Crystals, it would amount to eight hundred and fifty thousand Daoist Crystals. This meant that if Ye Feng found another fifteen hundred high-quality Daoist Crystals, he could directly break through to the initial stage of Entering Dao by absorbing the Daoist Crystals—something Ye Feng eagerly anticipated.

As Ye Feng and his group delved deeper, they finally left the outskirts of the Ancient Relics, about to enter the inner section.

The inner section of the Ancient Relics was a massive castle, enormous and as tall as a thousand-zhang peak, standing in the ruins. Surrounding the castle was a giant river.

The river contained Xuanshui, which possessed formidable Decomposition Power, casting a sense of terror among everyone.

Even if a Holy Artifact were dropped into the river, it would be decomposed by the water.

Everyone could clearly feel the overwhelming threat emitted by the river. To enter the castle, there was only one way: directly from the castle’s main entrance.

At the castle’s main entrance was a wide bridge, approximately two hundred meters long. The entire bridge felt desolate, without any aura or sign of crisis.

From the group’s understanding of formations, there appeared to be no threat on the bridge.

The entire bridge gave a sense of tranquility, yet because of this, it was terrifying. In the Ancient Relics, nearly every place was filled with the threat of death, but this bridge seemed to lack any danger.

This was the abnormality. Yet Ye Feng had no intention of stopping and directly led the group onto the bridge.

Seeing Ye Feng walk so smoothly, everyone naturally followed him onto the bridge, as Ye Feng’s confidence assured them. Since he was confident, they chose to trust him.

Together with Ye Feng, the group progressed and reached the center of the bridge without encountering any danger.

Ye Feng led everyone further along, and soon they arrived at the mid-point of the bridge.

"Boom~~" Just then, the bridge began to shake, and soon it crumbled rapidly. The group struggled to maintain balance as huge stones continuously fell, their eyes showing panic. They looked at Ye Feng, who remained calm.

Ye Feng stood still, letting the bridge collapse. Oddly, wherever there were people, the bridge stayed intact. The bridge turned into twenty-one stone pillars, each holding a few people.

The twenty-one stone pillars extended to the castle’s entrance, allowing everyone to jump from pillar to pillar to enter the castle. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ye Feng stood motionless on a stone pillar, seemingly lost in thought. Immortal Yue Qing frowned and asked Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, what should we do now?" The surrounding people also looked at Ye Feng in confusion.

Ye Feng responded calmly, "Don’t do anything, just follow my orders..."

The group nodded and patiently waited, with Ye Feng remaining motionless on the stone pillar.

Everyone felt apprehensive, afraid to act rashly. Time kept passing, and Ye Feng stayed on the stone pillar for three days without moving, leaving the group puzzled about his intentions.

At this point, a Blue Moon Sect disciple couldn’t help but ask, "Ye Feng, aren’t we leaving yet?"

The surrounding people also showed signs of impatience, asking, "How long do we have to stand here?"

Despite this, Ye Feng remained on the stone pillar, showing no intent to leave.

Soon, another three days passed, and the group grew impatient. Ye Feng kept them on the stone pillars without moving, their dissatisfaction growing, especially one Blue Moon Sect disciple.

"Ye Feng, are you going or not? If not, I’m heading back!" the Blue Moon Sect disciple said.

The Blue Moon Sect disciple then leapt towards the stone pillar behind, intending to leave.

"Swish!" Just then, as the disciple jumped between two pillars, a Xuanshui column shot up from the river below like a massive water gun, piercing through the void.

"Splatter!" In an instant, the Blue Moon Sect disciple was pierced by the Xuanshui column, blood splattering, while their body was dissolved by the Xuanshui, turning to bones in the blink of an eye. The bones fell into the river and were instantly decomposed.

Terror filled the eyes of the group, shocked at the Xuanshui’s fearsome nature. An Entering Dao mid-stage Martial Artist was gone in an instant, making them afraid to act recklessly, standing still on the spot.

Ye Feng continued observing his surroundings, lost in silence, very calm.

With the Blue Moon Sect disciple’s fate as a warning, the group dared not act rashly, remembering Ye Feng’s words: Follow his instructions and don’t do anything unnecessary.
