"No!"

The young man said.

"Good to know!"

The Sect Leader sighed, his eyes flickering uncertainly, and then he dismissed the young man, before summoning other elders for a discussion.

After a while of discussion, they decided to send masters to besiege the sea demons.

"What a stroke of bad luck!"

Reflecting on the recent events, the Sect Leader felt an unbearable headache. He never expected that a dignified Taihuang Immortal Sect would struggle to deal with two Martial Saints who appeared out of nowhere, let alone being bullied by sea demons now.

If this spreads, the warriors across the Yuanzhen Continent will surely ridicule them.

Unlike the young man, he knew that the Iron Hammer Cannon was more than sufficient to deal with the Mountain Protection Arrays of some weaker sects, but it could not be used against powerful major sects, much less against those swift-moving sea demons.

After all, powerful enemies would not allow a Star Sea Battleship to dock nearby without doing anything.

Though the Iron Hammer Cannon on the Star Sea Battleship was powerful, its defensive power was very fragile and could easily be destroyed by the opponent.

Using the Star Sea Battleship against some minor foes is more than enough.

But dreaming of using it against powerful enemies is just that—a dream.

The Sect Leader was very aware of the weaknesses of the Star Sea Battleship, unless all the sea demons were immobilized, allowing him to bombard them continuously with the Iron Hammer Cannon.

But evidently, this is an unachievable task.

"Among those sea demons, only the Nine-headed Snake truly poses a threat. If we can lure it onto land, and then concentrate our experts to attack it, as long as we can eliminate it, the other sea demons won't be a concern! But we have no idea how many Nine-headed Snakes are in that sea demon army. If there are many, then we are in big trouble! However, the more Nine-headed Snakes there are among the sea demons, the more it indicates the importance of that Ancient God Ruins. If those sea demons acquire the treasures within, it could bring catastrophe to Yuanzhen Continent!"

The Sect Leader thought to himself, believing that the Ancient God Ruins could never have been built by the sea demons. He simply could not believe the sea demons were capable of constructing such a complex palace group with such profound Defensive Magic Arrays.

The Sect Leader judged that the Ancient God Ruins were definitely palaces built by Human Warriors, and any treasures within naturally belonged to the Human Warriors.

On the other hand, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian were very curious, eager to know why the sea demons wanted to occupy the Ancient God Ruins.

In order to find the truth, he infiltrated the seabed, finding some isolated sea demons. After capturing them, he forcefully extracted their memories.

From their memories, he learned that those sea demons were acting under the orders of the Nine-headed Snake, Sai Duo Leader, to occupy the Ancient God Ruins.

From a sea demon's memory, he learned that the Ancient God Ruins was the ancestral land of the Nine-headed Snake.

"The Ancient God Ruins being the ancestral land of the Nine-headed Snake, how is that possible? Building those ruins would at least require the cultivation power and minerals of the Divine World!"

Duan Gujin recalled carefully, considering that if the Ancient God Ruins really were the ancestral land of the Nine-headed Snake, it would mean the ancestors of the Nine-headed Snake came to Yuanzhen Continent from the Divine World, which is not impossible.

"I previously accessed Ling'er's memories; Ling'er's ancestors came here from the Divine World, accompanied by several Divine Beasts, one of which was a Nine-headed Snake! Exactly!"

He immediately thought of a possibility.

"Both the Nine-headed Snake and the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat came to Yuanzhen Continent from the Divine World!"

His eyes flickered, and he summoned the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, questioning it about its ancestors.

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat pondered for a long time but finally shook its head, telling Duan Gujin it didn't know much about its ancestors' past experiences.

Duan Gujin believed Ling'er's words, knowing that creatures like the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, being Innate Spiritual Objects, generally did not like having too much contact with other Divine Beasts.

For the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, the Nine-headed Snake is its natural enemy, and naturally, the rat clan would not want to deal with the snake.

"It seems to uncover the truth, we must explore the inside of the Ancient God Ruins!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, instructing Qing Lian to take care of Zhan Huantai. Then he transformed into a sea demon and infiltrated the sea demon army, seeking more intelligence.

Within the sea demon army, he discovered that an elite sea demon force was guarding the Ancient God Ruins while the Sai Duo Leader was missing.

Duan Gujin immediately thought that the Sai Duo Leader was very likely the sea demon who had been slaughtering Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples in the nearby Human Clan's City recently.

"He alone can survive on land!"

Among the many sea demons, only a very few could live on land, as most would have their combat power significantly reduced after leaving the ocean.

Moreover, most sea demons could not stay out of water for long; once away from the ocean, as time passed, their skin would gradually dehydrate until they died of thirst.

Duan Gujin approached the Ancient God Ruins, waiting a long while. Finally, he found an isolated sea demon, captured it, and forcibly read its memories, after which he placed the sea demon into his bracelet's world.

Then, he transformed into the appearance of that sea demon and infiltrated the Ancient God Ruins.

Once inside the ruins, he searched meticulously for a long time and eventually discovered that neither the Taihuang Immortal Sect members nor the sea demons had been able to break the Defensive Magic Array inside the Ancient God Ruins.

The fact that the Defensive Magic Array inside the Ancient God Ruins hadn't been breached meant that, so far, no living creatures had entered.

"That's wonderful!"

Duan Gujin rejoiced in his heart, carefully inspecting the Defensive Magic Array of the Ancient God Ruins.

After two hours, he discovered the Defensive Magic Array of the Ancient God Ruins was actually the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array.

"So it is the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array!"

He was elated, hastily recording the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array he sensed.

Once he noted the entire Nine Extremes Heavenly Array, he returned to shore, finding Qing Lian.

Upon meeting Qing Lian, he informed her that the Defensive Magic Array inside the Ancient God Ruins was the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array.

"So the Defensive Magic Array inside is the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array, it seems that Ancient God Ruins truly came from the Divine World!"

She was just as elated as Duan Gujin.

For both the Taihuang Immortal Sect and those sea demons, the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array is something they could rack their brains yet still not understand, an Advanced Defense Array, but for Duan Gujin and Qing Lian, the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array is merely a piece of cake.

In the Divine World, the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array is not considered a highly difficult Defensive Magic Array; it is even used by some major sects to examine disciples' Divine Sense locking ability.
