My carefree life in space

Chapter 225 Inside the Temple

When they arrived at the signal transmission location, they were stunned by what they saw.

Before me stood a magnificent palace, towering abruptly as if it had traveled from the depths of time, exuding endless mystery and majesty.

The palace is an ancient, dark gold color, as if carved from a single, massive, mysterious ore, its surface shimmering with faint, luminous runes. Its main structure stands a hundred feet tall, exuding grandeur, and its enormous dome is inlaid with countless shimmering gems.

"What is this place?" Master Lingxu asked Master Yuanhong, who had arrived before them. The latter shook his head. Although he had some guesses, the idea was too shocking, and he was afraid that if he said it out loud, this place would disappear.

Master Yan Hua's usually composed face was now filled with astonishment. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were flashing with disbelief. He muttered to himself, "This...this is a temple. It must be the ruins of the gods!"

These words shocked everyone present. Although the legend of the ancient ruins had been circulating for a long time, they were actually quite skeptical. Even those who did believe it only thought it was a cave dwelling left behind by some predecessor.

A temple! That's the land of the gods, isn't it? When did the gods ever exist on the Flaming Sun Continent? Why is there no record of it in the historical books?

They had roamed the cultivation world for many years, weathering countless storms. The appearance of this temple seemed to open a door to an unknown world for them, greatly impacting their understanding of the cultivation world.

"Could it be that all the juniors have arrived here?" Elder Fang's question drew everyone's attention back. Indeed, their purpose in coming here was to find someone.

“We’ve searched almost everywhere else; maybe they really are inside.” Master Yuan Hong’s words were very convincing.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in!" said Zhang Yuan, the leader of the Hunyuan Sect, and was about to rush inside.

"Wait, do you guys remember the mysterious person who advanced to the Nascent Soul stage a few days ago? Do you think he's related to this temple?" Zhou Quan, the sect leader of Hongyin Sect, pulled Zhang Yuan aside and asked the crowd.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Zhou Quan's concern was that it was unclear whether the man was friend or foe, good or evil. If he was connected to the temple, they might encounter something unpleasant if they rashly entered.

"We have to go in no matter what. If all the younger generations are inside, we can't just stand by and watch," said Qin Yang, the sect leader of Changtianmen, stating the fact that was before everyone.

In fact, even if the younger generation wasn't inside, who among those present could resist the allure of the temple and not go in?

"Since I'm already here, even if there's no one inside, I'll still go in and take a look," Zhang Yuan said, stepping towards the door.

Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated and followed suit.

Fang Siya hadn't expected to encounter such a tempting opportunity so soon after emerging from the formation. Even though her strength was lacking, she still wanted to go in and broaden her horizons. Qi Ting, of course, wouldn't stay outside alone and would follow the main group.

The temple gate is tens of feet high, and each of the two doors is carved with lifelike divine warriors, holding divine weapons and with sharp eyes, as if they are guarding the secrets of this temple.

After everyone arrived, the door slowly opened, as if welcoming them in.

Is there really such a good thing, without having to go through a life-or-death struggle to break the formation? Everyone was a little apprehensive, but they had already come this far, and it would be cowardly to turn back now. After all, they were Nascent Soul stage cultivators, among the most powerful people on the entire continent.

After only a few breaths, the group continued walking into the magnificent temple. The doors behind them slowly closed, and Fang Siya, walking at the very back, felt a chill run down her spine. It felt like they were closing the door to beat a dog. Pah! Who's the dog? She's not!

Just as she was mentally complaining, she turned her head and saw a light slowly flashing in the air. "What's that?"

The others saw it too, and they all looked on curiously. The light in the sky grew brighter and brighter until a scene appeared, with the scene constantly changing, like the function of a recording stone.

The scene then freezes on a wide plaza, filled with an eerie atmosphere. Disciples of various sects who had gone missing lie scattered on the ground. Their faces are pale, their breaths weak, as if they have fallen into some kind of slumber.

Upon seeing this scene, the faces of everyone present instantly turned extremely ugly. There was indeed a conspiracy involved. Who was behind it all?

"Is anyone here? What is your intention in arresting our disciples?" Master Lingxu demanded loudly.

Only his voice echoed in the hall.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" Zhang Yuan shouted.

There was still no movement inside the hall.

"Let's quickly look for any traps or mechanisms; the younger generation doesn't look too good." In that scene, Master Yuan Hong saw his beloved disciple Zhou Yi, whose eyes were closed and who was completely unconscious.

Just as everyone was searching for the passage to the plaza, a deep rumble suddenly came from the once quiet hall, as if countless sleeping giants had been awakened.

Immediately afterward, the ground began to tremble violently, and beams of cold light shot out from all directions. At the same time, complex array patterns appeared on the ground, emitting an eerie glow and blocking their retreat. A dangerous aura filled the air, sending chills down their spines.

"Be careful!" Master Yan Hua warned. Actually, there was no need for a warning. Apart from Fang Siya and Qi Ting, the rest of them were all Nascent Soul stage experts. They could detect and avoid such dangers in time.

However, they had underestimated the situation. These mechanisms and formations seemed endless, attacking wave after wave, and there was a subtle force suppressing their strength. The group gradually found themselves in a fierce battle, their faces showing grave expressions.

While fending off the attacks, Master Yan Hua tried to reason with the person behind him, saying, "Who exactly are you, and what grudge do you hold against us? If any of us have offended you, please spare the others, especially the younger ones."

After these words were spoken, the attacks not only did not stop, but instead showed a trend of becoming more and more intense.

Just as everyone was struggling to take care of themselves, Fang Siya's trembling, tearful voice rang out, "A-Ting, hang in there, I have some medicine that Sister Shushu gave me, take it quickly."

It turned out that while Fang Siya was focused on defending against the attacks in front of her, she didn't notice the arrow coming from behind. Qi Ting, who was watching her closely, did notice it. He was busy defending himself and couldn't free his hands, so he had to shield her from the arrow with his own body.

Elder Fang noticed the change and immediately moved over to protect the two of them.

Qi Ting smiled at Fang Siya, "Don't cry, I'm fine. You said it yourself, this pill is very effective."

Seeing Qi Ting's pale face regain its color and the bleeding stop, Fang Siya smiled through her tears, "Yes, I know. I'll thank Sister Shushu properly when we get out."

Just then, the attack inside the hall suddenly stopped.
