The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 646 - 647: The Vast Ruins Portal

Chapter 646 -647: The Vast Ruins Portal

Lin Qian looked at the enormous building in front of him and walked straight toward it, carefully examining the incomplete Array at the entrance. Soul Power and Soul Consciousness flowed out simultaneously, enveloping it.

The data gathered was also transmitted to the Heavenly Art Department on Xuanhuan Star.

“Oh? This Array!” Zhuge Ming from the Heavenly Art Department, upon receiving the data sent by Lin Qian, showed a deep interest on his face, “Your Majesty, the level of this Array is far beyond that of the Soul Martial Continent… No, to be precise, it’s excessively advanced.”

Zhuge Ming’s words caught Lin Qian by surprise, “How so? If you were to break this Array, how long would you need?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, an instant would be sufficient.”

“…” Lin Qian couldn’t help but respond with irritation, “If that’s the case, why do you say it is so advanced? Are you toying with me?”

“Your Majesty, please calm your anger. It’s not that I am toying with you. The excellence of this Array doesn’t lie in its complexity but rather in the very foundation of the entire Array, which is obviously tens of thousands of times beyond the foundational Arrays of the Soul Martial Continent.” After a rough estimation, Zhuge Ming reported back to Lin Qian, “That is to say, this entire Array is left behind by an extremely advanced cultivation civilization.”

“To put it simply, is this an Array left by a cultivation civilization that is a hundred thousand times more advanced than the Soul Martial Continent?” Upon hearing Zhuge Ming’s words, Lin Qian quickly understood and looked at the ruins before him with a changed expression.

At this moment, Lin Qian could fully confirm that the Soul Martial Continent was probably not so simple.

First, there was the Black Demon, a being that came from the stars beyond, who schemed to do something on the Soul Martial Continent. But with his formidable Realm, he still couldn’t enter the Soul Martial Continent.

At that time, Lin Qian speculated that there must be something special inside the Soul Martial Continent that the Black Demon cared about deeply, which is why he was causing trouble on the Soul Martial Continent!

Now, Lin Qian discovered traces of a cultivation civilization in these ruins that were advanced by a hundred thousand years than the Soul Martial Continent, which further affirmed his conjecture.

“With this in mind, it really makes me curious as to what secrets might be hidden within this Soul Martial Continent.” Lin Qian mused as he surveyed the building before him.

“Your Majesty, this Array will be of great help to the Huaxia Empire in studying the Array styles of this world,” Zhuge Ming, after closely observing the Array at the entrance of the building, shouted excitedly, “After studying the Array of these ruins, we can even accelerate the research progress of the puppet body project!”

Hearing Zhuge Ming’s enthusiasm, Lin Qian could not remain composed and quickly stepped into the building, “If that’s the case, what are we waiting for? There must be even more complete Arrays inside, we’d better study them all.”

At this moment, Ye Xin and the three elders, following Lin Qian, saw him eagerly walking in and also showed ecstatic expressions, hurriedly following after him.

“Little Qian, what has got you so excited?”

“An extraordinary discovery. The Array in this place is tremendously helpful to the Huaxia Empire,” explained Lin Qian as he walked into the entrance before him.

As Lin Qian fully stepped inside, his eyes reflected a look of surprise.

Entering the portal was like arriving in another world.

Inside the building behind the portal was a semi-circular arc, seemingly a different space altogether.

From the outside, the building appeared to have no more than thirty floors.

But upon entering the portal, Lin Qian looked up and couldn’t see the end, uncertain of how many floors there were!

With Lin Qian’s now-powerful vision, he could only see up to the eight-hundredth floor of the building.

Above the semicircular wall in front was an array of portals, lacking any doors; each was tightly sealed by an Array, without the slightest breath leaking out.

Almost every floor was like this, with dense portals above, all well-secured by formidable arrays.

Lin Qian had also discovered on the bottommost level, the Array sealing the portal was damaged; clearly, the Purple Demon Fish had escaped from that portal.

“It’s breathtaking, who built this structure?” Standing beside Ye Xin, Lin Qian exclaimed, unable to help but speak slowly.

Indeed, the vast structure before them was not something that could be erected in the present-day Soul Martial Continent.

However, Ye Xin also came to her senses soon after and glanced at Lin Qian.

She remembered her soul wandering in Xuanhuan Star, where she had seen structures even more magnificent than this one, like aerial lofts as vast as the Soul Martial Continent itself, suspended mid-air, which had scared Ye Xin quite a bit at the time.

Therefore, Ye Xin, having seen such majestic buildings before, could only sigh in admiration at this structure.

In contrast, the three elders by her side clicked their tongues: “Even though we’ve seen it many times, returning here still leaves us in awe.”

After surveying the surroundings, Lin Qian walked straight toward the portal where the Purple Demon Fish had fled.

The other portals were still firmly sealed, with only this one damaged, meaning that only what lay behind this portal could be seen.

Since they had come to investigate, Lin Qian, of course, wanted to examine it carefully.

After reaching the front of this portal, Lin Qian found that the Array, just like the style at the building’s entrance, transmitted the obtained results to the Heavenly Art Department of Xuanhuan Star, and he himself walked directly into the portal.

“This is indeed quite lavish.” Lin Qian, upon entering the portal, saw the scene before him and praised it.

Ye Xin, who followed him in, displayed a look of surprise on her face: “Could it be that behind every portal lies such a vast space?”

At this moment, what appeared before Lin Qian and Ye Xin was a wide expanse of heaven and earth.

There was no land; before them was an entire ocean vastness.

Behind the portal, the waves roared. Rich Spiritual Energy filled the place, leaving them astonished.

Lin Qian also took notice of the stele beside the entrance, inscribed with a mention: “Admire the species Purple Demon Fish, able to leap through the air, reward one Martial Point.”

Seeing this stele, Lin Qian seemed to have an epiphany.

The content presented on the stele was very simple, merely naming the Purple Demon Fish and describing a single simple characteristic, feeling like a formality; presumably, anyone entering the portal would surely know the information about the Purple Demon Fish.

The reward, one Martial Point, what did that mean?

Lin Qian gazed at the vast sea in front of him, silent and thoughtful. With a thought, the Blade-toothed Fierce Sharks of the War Beast Army within Xuanhuan Star appeared in the waters ahead, swimming about and spreading out.

Through the vision of the Blade-toothed Fierce Sharks, Lin Qian had already understood the situation at the bottom of the sea, shockingly incredible!
