Chapter 945: Chapter 172: Entering the Ruins, the Plot Revealed!

Inside the Wangchuan Lake Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun’s avatar was waiting in the hall,

Before long, ripples suddenly appeared on the stone wall to the north of the hall, and then a stone gate appeared there abruptly,

"Boom boom——"

The sound of a heavy door opening echoed,

only to see the stone gate moving to both sides, and a young man wearing a white magic robe stepped out from within,

This person had a handsome appearance and an ethereal demeanor, exuding an aura of vitality that made people feel amiable,

it was Zhou Xun’s true self, who had rushed from the Eastern Wilderness.

After all, relying on just the avatar, he could definitely not be a match for Master Hundred Bones,

and he did not believe that Master White Bone would truly keep his promise and share half of the treasures since this was, after all, a Divinity Transformation relic, with treasures inside all related to Divinity Transformation.

Now, with a true self stronger than the avatar at play, he thought that Master Hundred Bones was certainly not a match,

at that moment, if he kept his promise, it would be fine,

but if he dared to break their agreement, he would not hold back!

"Thank you!" the avatar said with a slight smile,

"You and I are one, there’s no talk of trouble!" The true self of Zhou Xun also smiled slightly, and then his body flashed,

transforming into a spirit light and merging entirely into the avatar.

This was also one of the abilities of Zhou Xun’s ’One Qi Transforms Three Pristine Ones’ divine technique, allowing the avatar and the true self to unite.

Afterwards, Zhou Xun went to the insect room, and saw a colorful spirit butterfly snoring in the nest within,

"Wake up, it’s time to work!"

Issuing a command,

the Nether Illusion Spirit Butterfly woke up with a start, then fluttered its wings, disappearing into the spirit insect bag at Zhou Xun’s waist.

As his only source of illusion technique divine power, the Nether Illusion Spirit Butterfly naturally had to be taken along.

At the same time, Xiaojin also emerged from his room,

"Master, is it time to depart?"

"Correct, we just need to wait for Xiaojia!" As soon as the words fell, a head appeared on the ground, glanced around, and then the whole body emerged.

"How is it?"

"The outer restrictions have all been broken, Bai Yu and the array master are guarding the place!" The Profound Armor Armadillo replied.

"In that case, let’s set off!" Zhou Xun nodded.

Thus, Xiaojin and Xiaojia transformed into a blue and a gold spirit light, both vanishing into the spirit beast bag at his waist.

...

Meanwhile, at the Jiangling Prefecture headquarters,

At the entrance of the relic, a sinister-looking old man suddenly appeared,

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Bai Yu and the middle-aged man surnamed Wu stepped forward to salute.

The old man was none other than Master Hundred Bones, one of the Top Ten Cultivators of Great Jin,

Upon appearing, he scanned the stone hall, discovering only the three of them present, slightly furrowing his brows:

"Where is Pavilion Master Zhou, isn’t he here?"

"Reporting to Grand Elder, as soon as the outer restrictions of the relic were opened, I informed you, as for Pavilion Master Zhou, I haven’t informed him yet!"

Bai Yu said respectfully, looking to be seeking praise.

"Humph, foolish, do you think such tricks can deceive him? Who knows, he might have known the moment you broke the restriction!"

Master Hundred Ghosts snorted coldly, not showing any favor to his son.

"How... how could that be, we were protected by restrictions the whole time..." As he spoke, Bai Yu’s voice grew smaller and smaller, finally disappearing completely,

his eyes stared straight ahead, looking as if he had seen a ghost,

off in the distance, a young man in a blue robe, smiling, suddenly appeared. Who else could it be but Jiangling Prefecture Lord Zhou Xun.

"Daoist Bai, you’re quick!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly, seeming unsurprised by the scene before him.

Master Hundred Bones was surprised to see Zhou Xun appear but quickly regained his composure, squeezing out a smile:

"Pavilion Master Zhou, long time no see, with the relic opening this time, we must rely on your divine techniques."

Zhou Xun inwardly sneered, but his expression remained unchanged, smiling slightly:

"Daoist Bai, you’re too kind. We’ve already agreed to work together, naturally we should explore this Divinity Transformation relic with united efforts, but I wonder if Daoist Bai is ready?"

Master Hundred Bones nodded slightly, a trace of calculation flashing in his eyes, and said:

"Naturally ready, but the situation inside the relic is unknown, there may be many dangers, Pavilion Master Zhou, we must still proceed with caution."

"Of course, the Divinity Transformation relic is assuredly full of traps. Though the treasures are tempting, being reckless even for a moment will lead to eternal damnation. Daoist Bai, we must not lose our sense due to these treasures." Zhou Xun hinted.

"You’re right, Daoist, time is of the essence, let’s go in quickly!"

As Master White Bone spoke, he formed a hand seal, sending mana into the stone gate of the relic’s entrance, where a Beidou Seven Stars pattern appeared.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun also didn’t hold back, pouring mana into the stone gate,

"Boom boom——"

Then came the heavy sound of the stone gate opening, accompanied by an extremely pure surge of spiritual qi,

seen behind the stone gate was a whirlpool about a yard wide, with spatial power swirling around.

"Impressive, as expected of a Divinity Transformation relic!"

Master White Bone’s eyes revealed a zeal, and then he flickered and vanished into the whirlpool,

Zhou Xun watched, frowning slightly, inwardly wary,

Tapping his waist, he took out his High-Grade Defensive Treasure "Profound Turtle Shield," activating it and holding it in front of him,

also deploying several Defense Talismans, enclosing himself within,

then he leaped towards the whirlpool.

...

Just as he entered the whirlpool, a familiar tugging sensation came, so Zhou Xun took out the Great Shift Order, grasping it in his hand,
