Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan and others stood in an empty valley, their eyes fixed on the route map that had become clear again.

The map shows the mountains and rivers, and the most eye-catching thing is the blue line that winds forward and finally reaches the Holy Ruins. The blue line is like a flowing river, winding and circling, as if guiding them to that unknown mysterious place.

“This is the route map to the Holy Ruins.” Lin Fan whispered, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in his tone.

However, when their eyes were focused on the place where the blue line must pass, some puzzling red circles appeared in their field of vision.

These red circles are distributed at several key nodes along the blue line, like warnings or marking something special.

The red circle is particularly eye-catching on the map, as if silently telling of some danger or secret.

"What do these red circles mean?" Zhong Ling'er frowned slightly and looked at the red circles deeply, as if trying to decipher the meaning behind them.

Jiang Shuiling's face flashed with joy, and she said in an expectant tone: "Could it be treasure? Could these red circles be the treasure spots specially marked by Mu Changfeng?"

This idea instantly ignited everyone's imagination. Mu Changfeng's fanatical pursuit of the Holy Ruins during his lifetime had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. If it was said that there were huge wealth or treasures hidden in the Holy Ruins, no one would be surprised.

After all, Mu Changfeng's lifelong pursuit is probably to obtain the endless wealth in the Holy Ruins, even at all costs.

"Given Mu Changfeng's level of fanaticism, this is absolutely possible." Lin Fan thought and nodded.

He thought of Mu Changfeng who was alone but had this route map and only a few top-grade spirit stones. It was obvious that he had poured all his efforts into finding the treasure of the Holy Ruins.

However, Jin Buk is not so optimistic.

He has been in the martial arts world for many years, experienced countless life-and-death battles, and is well aware of the various dangers in the world of cultivation.

Jin Buke said coldly: "Perhaps, these red circles indicate some kind of danger. In the world of cultivation, any overly obvious mark usually means some kind of deadly trap or terrifying protective force."

Lin Fan was silent for a moment, his eyes deep and steady. He knew very well that Jin Buke's guess was not unreasonable.

In this world full of unknowns and dangers, any rash action may lead to devastating consequences.

He turned to look at the other people in the team and said solemnly: "No matter what, we must be cautious in these red circled areas."

Everyone nodded. Although they had different guesses in their hearts, they all understood that no matter these red circles meant treasure or danger, they had to be careful.

Although the Holy Ruins are full of temptations, they may also hide unpredictable risks.

They packed their luggage and began to head towards the Holy Ruins according to the instructions on the route map.

In the team, Zhong Ling'er took the lead. She held the map tightly in her hand, her eyes never leaving the route.

Jiang Shuiling followed closely behind, with excitement and anticipation on her face. Her eyes were always fixed ahead, as if she had already seen the endless treasures in the Holy Ruins.

Jin Buke was walking at the back of the team, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment, alert to any possible danger.

Lin Fan was in the center of the team, calm and composed. He was not only the leader of the team, but also their backbone.

Lin Fan and the others continued to move forward following the guidance of the route map. As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery began to change. The originally flat mountain road gradually became rugged and difficult to walk on. In some places, there was no road at all, only wild grass and thorns, as if this place had been forgotten for hundreds of years.

The air around them was filled with a bleak and desolate atmosphere, as if this place had long been abandoned by the world and no one had ever set foot there. The mountain wind whistled past, bringing a chill that made everyone's clothes rustle. However, as they went deeper, Lin Fan keenly sensed an unusual change.

"Have you noticed that the spiritual energy here is becoming more and more dense?" Lin Fan suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

Zhong Ling'er also nodded, sensing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around her, and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, the spiritual energy here is much richer than when we set out, and some places have almost reached the level of a holy place for cultivation."

Jiang Shuiling bathed in this rich spiritual energy, took a deep breath, and immediately felt the meridians in her body stretch out, as if every pore was greedily absorbing this spiritual energy. She sighed: "If I choose to practice in this place, my cultivation will progress very quickly!"

Jin Buke was also delighted. He had been practicing since he was young and had gone through countless hard trainings, but he had never felt such a strong spiritual energy. Standing on this land filled with spiritual energy, he could almost feel the spiritual power in his body growing rapidly. Jin Buke said with emotion: "If it weren't for the treasure hunt, I would definitely find a cave here, practice quietly, and devote my whole life to it!"

Lin Fan nodded silently. He could also feel the nourishment of spiritual energy improving his cultivation. However, as the leader of the team, he knew that the real purpose of this trip was not to practice, but to go to the mysterious Holy Ruins and the treasures therein. He gathered his mind and said firmly: "The spiritual energy here is rich. Although it is a good place to practice, our goal of this trip is the treasures of the Holy Ruins. Everyone must not forget the original intention!"

Despite this, Lin Fan was also full of curiosity about this land full of spiritual energy. According to his understanding of the world of cultivation, usually only in those holy places containing the spiritual veins of heaven and earth would such a strong spiritual energy gather. And here, although it was extremely desolate, it seemed that there was a powerful spiritual vein hidden, secretly nourishing this land.

As they continued to move forward, the concentration of spiritual energy became thicker and thicker, and one could even see the spiritual mist visible to the naked eye slowly flowing around them, as if a layer of light spiritual mist was filling the air. Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, feeling both excited and a little uneasy. Places with such thick spiritual energy are often accompanied by unknown secrets and potential dangers.

They came to the entrance of a huge canyon. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were as steep as if they were cut by a knife and axe, towering into the clouds, giving people a sense of oppression. In the canyon, the spiritual energy was almost so dense that it could not be dissolved. It seemed that the invisible spiritual power was surging with every step. Zhong Linger stood in front of the canyon and carefully observed the route map. She found that this was an important node where the blue line passed, and not far away, she could vaguely see a red circle mark.

"This is the next location marked by a red circle." Zhong Ling'er said in a low voice, looking around, feeling a little uneasy.
