Li Chen recalled that his master was already a martial king and the Sword Inquisition was also one of the top ten sects. However, Ling Zhe had yet to say what the power was that forced her to do so, so it was clear that Ling Chen subconsciously felt that a martial king was unable to help her!

If a Martial King could not do it, then he would be a Martial Saint! The Martial Saint could not do it! Then the War God! He could not do it. Even when he cultivated to the very end, he was still unable to save Ling Jiu from the abyss of suffering.

Li Chen sat upright in front of his bed and started to practice the [Life Transformation] Incantation. The surrounding spiritual energy began to nourish his limbs and bones.

Li Chen had to admit that he had been provoked by Ling Chen's words. Originally, he wanted to continue suppressing his strength until the Sword Inquisition gate to break through, but now that everything was settled, he did not want to suppress it anymore!

Gradually, Li Chen discovered a warm feeling coming from his body. The surrounding spiritual energy was attracted by Li Chen and rushed to Li Chen's side.

Strands of light yellow spirit energy continuously gathered in Li Chen's body, eventually forming a huge energy ball that broke through Li Chen's acupuncture points.

Li Chen opened his eyes in joy. Fourth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm! He had broken through!

However, the joy of breaking through was not long gone. Li Chen discovered that the stone monument inside his body started to rotate continuously. The spirit energy in his body started to surge, as if it was being pulled by the stone monument.

However, not long after, the stone tablet stopped moving and returned to its previous tranquility.

Li Chen had long since gotten used to the unusual movement of the stone tablet. Seeing that the stone tablet no longer had any reaction, he didn't care about it anymore. In any case, this stone tablet had no ill intentions towards him, and it even passed down its techniques repeatedly.

After settling down his little sister, Li Lu, Li Chen headed for the sword sect.

He had been out for a long time. He believed that the Alliance Martial Meeting would be over soon. Even if he went back now, it wouldn't matter.

But what Li Chen did not expect was that the news of him becoming the first ranked participant of the Alliance Martial Meeting would actually spread to the Northern Region!

In the Northern region, there was a genius gathering called Darknorth Kingdom, which was different from the ten great sects' Alliance Martial Meet. The Alliance Martial Meet was organized by one of the ten great sects, and most of the participants were from the Sky Vault Empire.

The Great Elder was very happy, but before he could get to Li Chen, he was a little worried. This time, seeing Li Chen come back unharmed, he was even more elated and kept telling Li Chen about the great benefits of this gathering.

Originally, Li Chen was not very interested, but at this moment, he was incited by the Great Elder to go out and see the world.

He was, after all, a genius from his own region, so naturally, Li Chen should go and take a look.

Thus, before Li Chen had even returned to the sect for long, they had already set off.

His target this time was the Northern Region. Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, so Li Chen was not in a hurry. He intended to stroll along the way.

In half a month's time, Li Chen had already arrived at the border between the Southern and Northern Regions.

After passing through the mountain range in front of him, Li Chen would be able to reach the Northern Region and would be much closer to Darknorth Kingdom.

The mountain range in front of his eyes was rolling up and down without any signs of human habitation. Li Chen sighed and was about to descend from the sky, but he suddenly discovered that this mountain range looked somewhat familiar.

Li Chen suddenly thought of the shabby map he had obtained from the Situ Family's warehouse!

Unable to wait any longer, Li Chen opened the map. He was ecstatic to find that the map before him was similar to the one he had seen on the map!

Actually, Li Chen was able to recognize this map because of a protruding stone wall on a mountain range far, far away.

The stone wall looked normal, but Li Chen had carefully studied the map. There was a small stream that was not very wide around a protruding rock.

There were even small streams and stone walls in this mountain range!

Li Chen couldn't help but be excited as he hastily ran towards the mountain range.

Looking at the smooth stone wall, Li Chen did not find anything abnormal.

There weren't even any stronger magical beasts in the surroundings. Li Chen wondered if he had seen wrongly. This was simply an ordinary stone wall.

However, Li Chen was definitely not a person who gave up easily. He was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed at the cliff for a few days. He was not in a hurry to go to Darknorth Kingdom.

What made Li Chen surprised was that on that night, when the moon shined on the earth, the stone monument started to change!

Right in front of Li Chen's eyes, the originally empty stone monument started to have densely packed carvings on it. Li Chen took a closer look and realized that it was actually a picture of the Kunlun Society's remains!

Li Chen had seen the layout of the Kunlun Society more than once. Be it in the Great Hall of the Holy Land or on the stone tablet, he had seen the pavilions of the Kunlun Sect.

However, this mural only appeared for a few breaths of time before disappearing. If it wasn't for Li Chen not leaving and him not sleeping at night to watch it, he would have missed this shocking scene!

Li Chen began to understand why the Situ Family couldn't find the remains of the Kunlun Sect!

Even if he found the stone wall, he wouldn't be able to find the secret on it.

However, Li Chen was still puzzled. He was already certain that this was one of the ruins of the Kunlun Sect. However, how was he going to get in?

Li Chen looked left and right at the map, but he still couldn't find any way to enter the ruins.

There were a total of one hundred and eight caves, the big one about a hundred meters deep and the small one about a few square meters wide. However, regardless of the size of the caves, he had charged through them all and even provoked a terrifying demon beast.

In the end, Li Chen guarded the stone wall and waited for the mural to appear again.

What Li Chen didn't expect was that this wait lasted for a month!

He began to understand why the map was so hard to find!

Fortunately, due to special reasons, people from various places had to be invited to appear. Some people lived far away, so it would take more than half a year for them to come here. Thus, Li Chen was not worried about being disqualified because of being late.

Even so, when the inscription on the stone wall appeared, Li Chen was extremely excited. He couldn't wait to see what exactly was inside the fresco.

The drawing on the stone wall was vivid and lifelike. Li Chen hastily used the power of Manifestation to smash against the stone wall. He thought that even if the stone wall was not destroyed, it would disappear, but he never thought that Li Chen's power would be as great as a stone sinking into the sea!

Disappeared!

"This!"

Li Chen was dumbstruck, but he suddenly felt the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. The stone wall rumbled as if something had been awakened and was roaring. Li Chen was staring at the stone wall, but he suddenly felt a suction force from the stone wall!

This feeling was akin to staring into the eyes of a statue in the Great Hall of the Holy Land!

Li Chen felt his body become light and he was sucked in!

This feeling was too familiar to Li Chen! He did not hesitate to walk forward. Sure enough, there were two old men with white beards standing at the end. One wore grey and the other wore green, with a face full of kindness.

Li Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and waited without blinking for the two old men to pass down their techniques.

Suddenly, a few golden words appeared in the sky.

"Soul Controlling Art?" Li Chen muttered to himself. This was an introduction to the heart technique for the Spirit Controlling Technique. During the Ancient Desolation, many weapons had artifact spirits. As for the Spirit Controlling Technique, it was used to control the artifact spirit!

Li Chen was shocked. He thought about how his own dragon bone stick had formed into a spirit artifact. Then he thought about the jade bottle that the Spirit Ruins Sect had always been envious of. That was a supreme Divine Weapon! He had long since formed his own Spiritual Awareness. Normally, it was just like an ordinary item. However, when faced with danger, he would even automatically resist. This was an extremely powerful treasure!

This Soul Controlling Art could control the spirit in a very short amount of time!

Li Chen's eyes were burning with passion! Even if it was just for a short period of time, a controller was enough for the opponent to suffer a huge loss before they were ready!

Li Chen silently memorized the mantra and completely memorized it!

Li Chen bowed to the two elders. Although they may not have felt anything for a long time, he was still very grateful for the method they passed down to him!

This trip was the biggest gain Li Chen had gotten from this trip. He never imagined that he would receive such a great benefit in spite of everything that had transpired!

It could be said that whether it was the Soul Controlling Technique or Li Chen's extremely close proximity, both of these would cause countless experts to go crazy in front of them!

The figure that stood in front of the stone wall suddenly trembled. Li Chen's eyes gradually lit up. When he looked at the stone wall again, it was already as smooth as it was before. There was no trace of the Ruins of Immemorial.

However, Li Chen knew that what happened before was not an illusion. He had truly obtained the Soul Controlling Technique!

Li Chen silently sighed. He was fortunate that he did not give up waiting here for a month. Looking at the sky, the huge moon was like a silver plate hanging in the sky. The ground tonight was even brighter than before!

So this ruin only appeared on the 15th moon every month. Li Chen sighed with emotion. It took more than a year or ten years to appear, otherwise, he really would have cried himself to death!

At the same time, Li Chen was also extremely aware of his good luck. He actually managed to obtain the Ruins of Kunlun under such circumstances. He did indeed have an indescribable relationship with the Kunlun Society.

Li Chen recalled that the void stone tablet had appeared within his body when he was very young, causing him to be unable to cultivate for a long time. At this moment, he also had some doubts in his heart.
