Chapter 602: Beast Domain! The Emergence of an Ancient Ruin!
When Wu Tian mentioned the name "Little Sky Ruler," everyone around him looked utterly confused.
That name… sounded kind of cute.
But knowing Wu Tian, anything he called by name was never truly "cute."
Everyone was well aware that Tianhuo Zun zhe, the First Heavenly Elder of the Cai Lin Pavilion, had once been referred to as "Little Tianhuo" by him.
With that in mind, this "Little Sky Ruler" was likely yet another powerful being.
The crowd remained perplexed, their gazes locked onto Wu Tian in bewilderment. But while they were lost in confusion, he was perfectly clear on what was happening.
Given the age of the three elders before him, they must have at least heard of the so called Ancient Ruins.
"Presidents, have you ever heard of the Ancient Ruins?"
Wu Tian's sudden question startled the Three Giants of the Pill Tower.
For a moment, they were speechless then, a flicker of realization crossed their faces.
Xuan Kong Zi let out a bitter laugh.
"Alliance Leader… your foresight is terrifying. You've only just woken up, and you already know about the Ancient Ruins opening?"
"Uh…"
Wu Tian quickly searched his memories.
The Ancient Ruins were supposed to open six months to a year after the Alchemist Convention.
But…
How long had it been since the convention?
Had the Ancient Ruins appeared early?
Or…
Was this a different set of ruins?
Keeping his expression calm, Wu Tian simply smiled mysteriously.
His composure made the three elders even more reverent toward him.
After composing his thoughts, Xuan Kong Zi finally explained:
"The Ancient Ruins, as the name suggests, are remnants from ancient times. Over countless years, these places have left their marks on history."
"The owners of such ruins were by no means ordinary figures. Throughout the continent, many ruins have been discovered."
"Some belonged to Dou Zun experts, while others even belonged to Dou Shengs. However, this time, the ruins have appeared within the Beast Domain. Judging by their intact state… they likely belonged to a Peak Dou Sheng!"
The other two elders nodded in agreement.
"These ruins have surfaced right after our battle with the Soul Hall. That means even more powerful individuals will rush in, seeking heavenly treasures to strengthen themselves."
"After all… in these turbulent times, everyone in Central Plains is living in fear."
A gleam of excitement flickered through Wu Tian's eyes.
The Beast Domain Ruins…
Could this be the place that contained the legendary Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?
The very treasure that could awaken Zi Yan's true bloodline?
In the past, he had never taken Zi Yan there because
First, he wasn't strong enough.
Second, the timing wasn't right.
Ancient ruins needed time to awaken.
Otherwise, only a true Dou Sheng could forcefully unearth them but the vastness of the Beast Domain meant even a Dou Sheng could search for years and still find nothing.
So, Wu Tian had never been in a rush.
He had simply been waiting.
And now…
The time had come.
The ruins of a Peak Dou Sheng wouldn't contain anything of real value to him.
But for his women, there would definitely be many useful treasures.
"Every time an Ancient Ruin appears, blood will be shed. Treasures left behind by Dou Shengs are enough to drive people insane. Even if Cai Lin Pavilion has risen to prominence, the Flower Sect will definitely send people as well."
Standing beside him, Yun Yun furrowed her delicate brows as she spoke.
Even Half Saints were interested in Dou Sheng ruins.
As for actual Dou Shengs?
They wouldn't bother.
A Dou Sheng's power was already at the peak of the continent.
Ancient ruins had endured the passage of time, meaning many of their treasures had already faded into dust.
For a Dou Sheng, such a place simply wasn't worth the time.
Yet…
Wu Tian, a terrifying powerhouse in his own right, was showing interest in this minor ruin.
Could it be…
That this ruin contained a truly precious heavenly treasure?
"Beast Domain! The dominion of the magical beasts. The timing of this ruin's emergence is perfect! Let's go find Zi Yan it's time for her to grow up."
Wu Tian's calm words startled both Medusa and Yun Yun.
Zi Yan… growing up?
Was this ruin truly that extraordinary?
If so, Zi Yan's power would skyrocket!
Hearing Wu Tian's decision, the Three Giants of the Pill Tower were almost moved to tears.
He was taking that little ancestor away?!
Great! Fantastic! Absolutely wonderful!
Now their Pill Tower's treasury would no longer be treated as Zi Yan's personal snack stash!
That little monster could break through any spatial barrier once she got inside, she'd simply devour everything.
Calling her a spendthrift was an understatement.
She wasn't just wasting resources she was raiding their entire supply!
"With the Ancient Ruins emerging, the Three Great Beast Clans will undoubtedly make an appearance. They won't just sit back and let humans take everything. Could it be… that even the Three Great Beast Families will show up?"
As the group walked toward Zi Yan's residence, Cai Lin furrowed her brows in thought.
"If they do, even better. The Ancient Void Dragon, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the Nine Nether Earth Python… Now that would be interesting."
Wu Tian chuckled.
Then, he turned to Yun Yun with a serious expression.
"Yun'er, the Heavenly Court Alliance must remain vigilant. Just because the Soul Hall has gone silent doesn't mean they won't return."
"I have a feeling… the Flower Sect will be their next target."
Yun Yun's sharp mind immediately understood.
"You mean… Hua Jin?"
She had already considered that Hua Jin was a potential threat within the Flower Sect.
While she was currently "obedient," there was no guarantee she wouldn't harbor resentment.
As the former Sect Master, Hua Jin's influence couldn't simply be erased.
Even if she held no real power, her presence alone was enough to keep the sect divided.
Thus, Yun Yun had treated her well to avoid giving anyone an excuse to claim she was eliminating political rivals.
However…
Both she and Wu Tian knew
Hua Jin would never truly let go of her past grievances.
So, the moment Wu Tian mentioned the Flower Sect's vulnerability, Yun Yun's first thought was Hua Jin!
Seeing her realization, Wu Tian nodded.
"Yes. She has ties to the Sky Serpent Sect's Demon Flower Evil Lord… and possibly even the Soul Hall."
"What worries me most is that… during our battle with the Soul Hall, the Sky Serpent Sect never showed up."
"Even though we've captured Soul Extinguishing Life, Soul Demon Elder, and Hun Qianmo… there are still plenty of Dou Shengs in the Soul Clan."
"When they make their next move, they won't be alone.
"The other Ancient Eight Clans may get involved as well."
"We must grow stronger
And the Three Great Beast Clans…
Are our best path forward."
"Ahem… That said, besides Zi Yan, there's also Qing'er and "
