Chapter 275 The Ruins of the Spirit Mist Mountains First Appear

Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of interest in each other's eyes. The appearance of mysterious ruins is often accompanied by opportunities, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for them as they pursue higher realms.

"Lijuan, what do you think?" Zhang Peng asked softly. Xia Lijuan blinked, a smile playing on her lips. "Since we're here, there's no harm in going to take a look. Maybe we'll find something useful." Zhang Peng nodded, having already made up his mind.

After ascertaining the location of the Spirit Mist Mountain Range, the two left the inn and flew towards the mountain range. Along the way, they saw many cultivators also heading in the same direction, clearly having heard about the ruins.

Before long, the Spirit Mist Mountain Range came into view. The mountain range was shrouded in thick fog, filled with a mysterious aura that obscured its entirety. Zhang Peng activated his "Spiritual Eye," attempting to penetrate the fog and uncover its secrets, but the fog seemed to contain some kind of special power that interfered with his perception.

"This fog is a bit strange," Zhang Peng said, frowning. Xia Lijuan also circulated her spiritual energy, forming a protective shield around herself to guard against the unknown dangers within the fog. The two cautiously stepped into the mountain range, and as soon as they entered, they felt a powerful pressure rushing towards them.

"Watch out!" Zhang Peng pulled Xia Lijuan behind him, simultaneously unleashing the Chaos Spirit Technique. Five-colored spiritual energy circulated around him, forming an indestructible shield. Just then, a gigantic mist beast burst forth from the mist and pounced towards them.

This mist beast was formed entirely of condensed mist. It resembled a tiger but had three eyes, each gleaming with an eerie light. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed a stream of black mist at Zhang Peng. The mist contained a strong corrosive force, instantly turning trees to ashes wherever it went.

Zhang Peng used the "Phantom Step" to quickly evade the mist beast's attack, leading Xia Lijuan. He gathered his spiritual power, forming a five-colored spiritual longsword in his hand, and unleashed the "Chaos Sky-Splitting Sword" to slash at the mist beast.

A flash of multicolored light appeared, and a deep wound appeared on the mist beast's body, from which mist continuously poured out. The mist beast let out a painful roar, and its body quickly merged into the mist and disappeared.

"This mist beast can actually use the mist to conceal itself," Zhang Peng said, looking around warily. Xia Lijuan also gripped her weapon tightly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The two continued deeper into the mountains, encountering several more mist beasts along the way, but they repelled them all. As they ventured deeper, the mist grew thicker, and the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie. Suddenly, Zhang Peng sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from ahead.

"It seems the ruins are just ahead," Zhang Peng said excitedly. The two quickened their pace, heading towards the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations. Finally, an ancient stone gate appeared before them. The stone gate was covered with mysterious runes, which shimmered with a faint light and emitted powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan arrived at the stone gate and carefully observed the runes on it. These runes were ancient and mysterious, unlike any they had encountered before. Zhang Peng activated his "Spiritual Eye" to try to decipher the meaning of these runes, but the power of the runes was too strong. As soon as his perception touched them, he was repelled by a powerful force.

“These runes are a bit tricky,” Zhang Peng said, frowning. Xia Lijuan was also carefully studying the runes when she suddenly noticed a detail: “Brother Peng, look, the arrangement of these runes seems to follow a certain pattern.”

Following Xia Lijuan's gaze, Zhang Peng indeed discovered that the runes were arranged in a peculiar pattern. A thought struck him, and he began to try to follow the pattern, channeling his spiritual energy into the stone door. As the spiritual energy flowed in, the runes on the stone door shone brighter and brighter. Finally, with a muffled thud, the stone door slowly opened.
