"Descendants of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, please come forward and sit on the disk!"

A deep voice spoke.

Duan Gujin saw a disk beneath the large statue, so he placed Ling'er on it.

Moments later, a beam of light rose from the bottom of the disk, illuminating Ling'er's entire body.

Duan Gujin frowned slightly, sensing a powerful Divine Thought within the light. He realized the giant statue was transmitting Divine Thought to Ling'er.

At this moment, Ling'er's eyes were closed, its body unmoving.

Duan Gujin judged that it was digesting the Divine Thought from the giant statue, so he waited by its side.

He waited like this for half an hour.

Meanwhile, the light beneath the disk gradually faded away.

After half an hour, Ling'er finally opened its eyes and raised its hands high, bowing to the giant statue.

"Master, follow me!"

Ling'er transmitted a Divine Thought to Duan Gujin.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin became excited, suspecting that Ling'er had discovered the location of the treasures left by the creator of this place for them.

Under Ling'er's guidance, they quickly arrived at a spot beside the giant statue of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat.

Ling'er circled the giant statue a few times, dispelling some arrays, then moved the green bricks beneath the statue, revealing an underground stone staircase.

"Our treasure of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat clan is below! Master, let's go down together!"

Ling'er said excitedly.

"Alright!"

With Ling'er leading, they descended the stone steps.

They soon saw a stone wall ahead, filled with various strange stones.

Ling'er climbed up the stone wall, investigating for a while before activating a mechanism within.

The sounds of grinding stone echoed continuously, and soon, they saw the stone wall slowly move to the sides, revealing a hidden chamber inside.

Duan Gujin saw many arrays within the chamber, with various treasures among them.

"This place is the treasury of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat! If another Divine Beast activated this, a different Divine Beast's treasury would appear!"

Ling'er explained.

Duan Gujin suddenly understood upon hearing this.

"So, to access this treasury, one must be accompanied by a Divine Beast! Without a Divine Beast, unlocking these treasures is impossible. In my previous life, I only heard of treasures here, but no one knew how to access them. Now I understand, even if Shattering Void Martial Artists bypass the initial arrays, without the corresponding Divine Beast, they can't obtain the treasure here!"

"What exactly is this place?"

Duan Gujin immediately inquired.

To solve the mystery, only the creator of these Ancient God Ruins could provide the real answer.

"This is a sanctuary where my ancestors escaped the pursuit of their Divine World enemies!"

Ling'er replied.

"I see!"

Duan Gujin realized.

"So the Defensive Magic Array and Ghostly Desolate Land were to trap their enemies!"

"Are your ancestor's enemies still alive?"

Duan Gujin asked curiously.

"My ancestor fled to the Yuanzhen Continent for refuge over a thousand years ago, their enemies likely still live!"

Ling'er answered.

"Oh, as long as your ancestor's enemies are alive, once my cultivation is high enough, I will help you avenge them! With just the power of one Divine Beast, you likely aren't a match for your ancestor's enemies. Your ancestor's enemies should be in the Divine World, so think about how powerful they must be."

"Yes!"

Ling'er nodded vigorously, agreeing with Duan Gujin's words.

"Which sect do your ancestor's enemies belong to in the Divine World?"

Duan Gujin was intrigued, wanting to know more of the details.

"It is Yi Tianming, the deputy commander of the Divine Beast Camp of the Piaomiao Divine Court. That Yi Tianming not only embezzled the Divine Beasts' provisions but also sold some Divine Beasts to the Otherworld. Selling Divine Beasts to the Otherworld is a capital offense. When my ancestor and other Divine Beasts discovered this secret, they wanted to report it to their superiors, but instead were hunted down. Out of desperation, my ancestor fled to the Yuanzhen Continent!"

Ling'er said.

"Oh, so that's how it was!"

Duan Gujin knew of the Piaomiao Divine Court's Divine Beast Camp, a department specifically tasked with caring for Divine Beasts.

The Piaomiao Divine Court has strict regulations prohibiting any living creatures in the Divine World from selling Divine Beasts to the Otherworld.

If any selling activities are discovered, the harshest punishments from the Piaomiao Divine Court will follow.

In the Divine World, the Divine Court is akin to a sect in the Human Race World, recognized as a powerful force.

Out of the many Divine Courts, the Piaomiao Divine Court is one notable power.

This power isn't weak and is quite renowned in the Divine World.

Duan Gujin knew he still had a long way to go before ascending to the Divine World. He decided not to think about the Divine World for now, focusing instead on enhancing his cultivation as quickly as possible.

"These treasures were left to me by my ancestors for future vengeance! Of course, Master, if you want them, just take your pick!"

Ling'er said.

"I won't take the things your ancestors left for you; I'm just looking!"

Duan Gujin wanted to know what treasures Ling'er's ancestors left for it; he had no interest in seizing a Divine Beast's treasures.

"Does that mean I can access the treasures left by other Divine Beast ancestors?"

Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly flickered with curiosity, asking.

"The arrays within here are far more complex than those outside. My ancestor's friends set up some spatial prohibitions here. If anyone forcibly breaks the arrays, the spatial prohibition will automatically explode! I don't know if that's true, but it's the warning left by my ancestors, to not covet other Divine Beast's treasuries!"

Ling'er explained.

Duan Gujin sighed, replying, "I believe your ancestor's words!"

He had previously detected strong spatial prohibitions within the statues, knowing that to enter this place, he must act according to its rules.

He had witnessed the power of some spatial prohibitions before, knowing that violent explosions could destroy all living creatures nearby.

Even Demigods or Supreme Gods of the Divine World could potentially fall in such spatial explosions.

"Master, please help me take the treasures my ancestors left me!"

Ling'er said.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin stepped forward, examining some of the treasures, discovering that Ling'er's ancestors left it rare ores, which are valuable even in the Divine World.

"Unfortunately, even if I obtain these ores, I can't forge Divine Weapons!"

Duan Gujin was well aware that his current cultivation was far from sufficient to forge Divine Weapons.

If he recklessly attempted to forge a Divine Weapon despite lacking the ability, not only would the success rate be low, but it could also harm him, making it highly unwise.

He quickly stored all the ores into his Space Bracelet, and after confirming all the treasures were secured, he and Ling'er left the basement.

He carefully circled outside a few times, ensuring he found no other valuable clues before letting Ling'er enter the Space Bracelet. He then exited the 'Ghostly Desolate Land.'

Upon exiting the 'Ghostly Desolate Land,' a High-level Sea Demon spotted him.

"Come here! Why did you go inside?"

The High-level Sea Demon was stunned, seeing a low-level sea demon emerging from the 'Ghostly Desolate Land.' It knew ordinary low-level sea demons wouldn't dare enter there.

Now seeing a low-level sea demon emerging, how could it not be suspicious?

Duan Gujin's mind raced, realizing he was under the scrutiny of the High-level Sea Demon.

Now that he had obtained the treasures of the Ancient God Ruins, even if his identity was exposed, he didn't care.

"I should keep these demons and the people of the Taihuang Immortal Sect at loggerheads here!"

That thought flashed through his mind, and with a subtle smile, he dismissed the Transformation Technique.

Seeing their 'companion' transform into a Human Warrior, the High-level Sea Demon immediately yelled out.

"Enemy! Everyone, come quickly! Enemy!"

The High-level Sea Demon was nearly shouting itself hoarse.

Duan Gujin did not attack the High-level Sea Demon who was shouting; he pulled hard, discarding his sea demon disguise, revealing the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciple's attire underneath.

"Someone from the Taihuang Immortal Sect!"

The High-level Sea Demon immediately shouted upon seeing this.

Hearing the High-level Sea Demon's shout, Duan Gujin felt elated, knowing his goal was achieved.
