After Chu Muri pondered for a moment, he shook his head helplessly, and looked towards the Yao Chi Stone, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This jade pool stone was an existence that possessed a soul, an expert of the Star General s level, wanting to refine it, was simply wishful thinking!

But, what was worth celebrating, although he was temporarily unable to refine it, it did not mean that he was unable to take it away. At worst, he could just wait until one day, he could become a Star General Ranker before refining it.

"

With that in mind, Chu Muri used the last jug of clear spring water that he carried with him, and after soaking in the Nine Waves Soul Recovery Pill, he poured it all over the Yao Chi Stone.

A strange thing happened. The jade pool stone should have been emitting seven colors of light and had dense fog surrounding it, but under this pot of clear spring water, the light dimmed in an instant. The strange thing was that it seemed to have disappeared, turning into a normal gray stone.

"Alright, the power of the Jade Pool Stone can be considered to have been temporarily sealed. This way, I can bring it along with me."

Finished speaking, Chu Muri threw the Jade Pool Stone into his spatial ring.

However, he was very clear that this was only a side door method. The seal of power could not be maintained for a long period of time, and he was also not very clear on the exact amount.

In short, after leaving the secret realm, he would have to use the spring water soaked in Nine Waves Soul Recovery Pill s to water it once again.

Otherwise, once the seal disappeared, no one knew what would happen inside the storage pouch.

Ahead of him, he walked into an extremely quiet world. Although it was only the distance of a door, every step he took made it seem as though he had stepped into another world.

The scenery in front of his eyes suddenly underwent a tremendous change. Looking around, he discovered that he was walking in a lush and verdant garden.

There were grass and flowers that emitted an enchanting fragrance, small paths paved with stones, and gurgling streams.

Even though the flowers and plants were messy and the stone path was covered in dust, it was still unable to conceal its original beauty.

According to the map of the ancient people in his head, this should be where the main hall is.

Raising his head and looking over, he indeed saw a majestic great hall that pierced through the clouds!

This was the ancient clan.

Chu Muri secretly praised them in his heart, and then headed towards the palace in front.

But for some reason, Chu Muri's heart couldn't calm down. Somehow, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to danger!

This serenity made him feel that it was illusory, but he could not find any evidence. He could only choose to believe it.

Furthermore, there were no records of this place in the Ancient Rune's memories, only a vague mention of something. Chu Muri did not know if it was related to the hidden traps here.

Mist filled the air, water was flowing in waves, a stone pillar was erected in the sky, a demon was exterminated, a sword wind blew, a god's will was set in stone!

Although Chu Muri did not know the meaning behind his words, but he could vaguely understand some key information.

The stone pillar and the sword were both things that he had never seen before. Moreover, it was not difficult to determine from the words that these two objects were crucial existences!

After a moment of thought, he sighed and continued forward.

From beginning to end, he kept a cautious mindset as he looked around. After careful observation, he finally discovered the strangeness of this place.

That fluttering butterfly might be beautiful, but it was also an existence that Chu Muri could not help but appreciate.

That was because even though the flying discs were bathed in light, they did not reflect any light. One could clearly see that they were dead creatures!

Other than that, Chu Muri also discovered an extremely strange thing. These black flying butterflies circled around Chu Muri, danced, and followed the flowing stream, flying towards the depths of this beautiful scenery.

It was as if they were guiding Chu Muri.

After realizing the intentions of these flying butterflies, Chu Muri was in a dilemma. He was not sure if following these flying butterflies was the right choice.

The place that Flying Butterfly led him to was either the right path or a trap. This was because the map of the ancient ruins did not have many records of this paradise.

He only knew that this was the path to the great hall.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds, Chu Muri still resolutely chose to follow in the footsteps of the flying butterfly!

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?!

After all, deep inside the Flying Butterfly was the hall that could vaguely be seen amidst the pus and mist. It was the place he would eventually go to, and there wasn't much difference between going there alone and following these Flying Butterflies.

A crisis was bound to come eventually.

After walking forward for a moment, he did not encounter any sort of danger. He had successfully arrived in front of the towering mountain like great hall!

The palace was majestic, towering into the clouds, hiding the sky and blotting out the sun. It was exceptionally majestic.

After dancing for a while in front of Chu Muri, the Flying Butterfly flew into the hall.

But Chu Muri, at this moment, was standing at his original position, somewhat hesitant about what to do, because in front of him, was a staircase which allowed one to climb!

Looking around, the staircase was situated in a layer of mist that was encircled by layers upon layers of mist that contained an extremely dense Essence Qi. Every level of the platform was engraved with a different pattern.

Chu Muri felt a heavy pressure that was like a towering mountain come crashing over, it could not help but want to retreat.

His intuition told him that he could not rashly continue forward at this moment, so Chu Muri stood at his original position, hesitating and indecisive.

After careful observation, he already found the origin of this staircase.

There were a hundred levels, all made up of a hundred arcane refiner s, all fused with different kinds of power to forge them. Therefore, the power contained in every level of the stairs was different, but it was extremely difficult to climb, more difficult than climbing the blue sky, so there would not be any life or death situations, so you could boldly go forward. Passing through these levels, should be the depths of the Secret Realm.

Chu Muri took a deep breath, and with determination in his eyes, he walked forward, and stepped on the first step!

"Huff!"

In that moment, all the surrounding tornados surged, the dense Essence Qi turning into gales as they gushed in from all directions, continuously attempting to shake Chu Muri's body.

Chu Muri stood in place, holding his breath. He channeled his origin energy as much as he could to irrigate his body, making it as sturdy as a rock.

After stabilizing himself, he lifted his foot once again and stepped onto the second flight of stairs.

"Crash!"

In that instant, the strong wind tore through the air and shattered, turning into vitality. It rolled around in the air, and in the end, melted into a stormy sea of energy.

After passing through the tenth floor, every time Chu Muri went up, he would meet different kinds of demon beasts in different illusions. However, most of them were first to third stage demon beasts, which was relatively easy for him.

The one hundred level stairs, took Chu Muri nearly six hours. Other than encountering some natural powers, demon beasts, there were puppets of enemies as well, all the way to the last ten levels. There was no danger, but they would enter one of the diagrams, and personally witness some events that occurred several hundred years ago, or even a thousand years ago!

Moon in the Sea, Golden Lotus in the Sea of Bitterness, Moon Eating Dog … All of these things were things that only happened in legends, Chu Muri had even seen them all.

When he was forcefully pulled into another space by a certain force, he felt like he was a lonely ghost. Everything that happened was so lifelike that it felt like it was real.

After successfully stepping onto the 100th step, the pressure that was like a mountain instantly collapsed. He felt as if he had broken free from the shackles and was being reborn from the fire!

At this moment, the silhouette of the Great Hall of the Ancient Race appeared clearly before his eyes. There was no mist covering it, nor was there any Essence enveloping it!

At the same time, his dantian's origin energy and the power of his divine sense in his mind had been restored after crossing the 100 level!

Chu Muri didn't ponder any further. He turned around and walked towards the depths of the secret realm. This was a peak level area, if his memories were correct, then this should be the Ancient Clan's treasure pavilion back then.

Inside the hall, it was a complete mess. The collapsed stairs, broken bookshelves, wood shavings, dust, and spider webs could be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, many treasures were scattered throughout the hall.

Without wasting any time, Chu Muri immediately began to search through the messy hall to see if he could find any clues, or perhaps more importantly, items.

It didn't matter if he didn't look for it, but if he carefully looked for it, he would definitely be startled.

The treasures of the ancient clan had thoroughly refreshed his value. The things that were originally priceless on the continent were actually all collected by the ancient clan. Regardless of whether it was treasures, weapons, defensive equipment, secret techniques, or even medicinal pills.

However, Chu Muri was not greedy either, he wholeheartedly searched for treasures that were similar to stellar gold s and demon beast bones. After all, these two had endless benefits for his Barbarian Bone Octoterra Body and the second star.

Since it was an ancient clan, then it must be full of traps. He didn't want to casually pick up anything here to avoid touching any traps. By then, it would be too late to regret.
