Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 184 Tracing the Winds, Endless Caverns
These insect beasts were bred to serve as guards of the Suifeng Ruins. Therefore, all foreign invaders will be attacked by the insect beasts. This has formed a cycle. The insect beasts in the entire Suifeng Ruins are inexhaustible. Jiang Xuan won't stay here any longer than necessary.
But to pass through the swamp, encounters with insect beasts are unavoidable. Jiang Xuan did capture a few, but what's truly valuable about these insect beasts is their matriarch, the foundation for the insect beast's reproduction and survival.
However, insect beast matriarchs are extremely difficult to find, only appearing in the core nests of the insect beasts, which are inevitably guarded by powerful insect beasts.
Moreover, insect beasts don't fight alone. The number of core nests is unimaginable. Even if Jiang Xuan is strong, he is still just a Ancestral God, and the dangers of entering are too great.
So, he just casually grabbed a few. These insect beasts are all Ancestral God level. Living for hundreds of thousands of Chaos cycles is no problem. If they can be tamed, they might be of some use.
After rushing out of the swamp, Jiang Xuan's pockets were even fuller. Too many adventurers had died in the swamp in the past. Without some strength, they basically couldn't escape, so their treasures naturally benefited those who came later.
"It really is big enough." Jiang Xuan flew at top speed in the void. He didn't dare to move through space at will in these ruins.
Suifeng Baimang, Baimang Hedao (Hundred Rivers Merge into Dao). The space-time within the Suifeng Ruins is chaotic. Normal exploration might encounter some restrictions, but as long as he's not in the core area, it won't be too dangerous for him.
But with space-time movement, there are too many unknowns and variables, and he could die at any time.
Even so, his exploration speed was very fast. His mental power swept unscrupulously, and he also had a Chaos Treasure to protect him. If he touched any restrictions, he could know immediately.
"Huh, is that..." In a void, Jiang Xuan suddenly stopped. Within the range of his mental power, he discovered a figure that surprised him somewhat.
It was a woman in a fiery red robe, a beauty that could overthrow kingdoms, with eyes like autumn water. Every move seemed to have a natural charm. If she wanted, countless people would fall at her feet.
At this moment, her surroundings were also surrounded by crescent moon-like blades, each blade surrounded by flames. Her gaze also came over, as if meeting Jiang Xuan's across the void.
"Fire Fairy Su Youji?"
Jiang Xuan guessed. At this time, Su Youji being in the Suifeng Ruins wasn't a problem, but the Suifeng Ruins were so big that Jiang Xuan didn't expect to meet her so quickly. But he didn't care much. After a moment of daze, he explored other areas again.
"He knows me? Or was he charmed by me, and then got rid of it?" In a secluded valley, Su Youji looked at Jiang Xuan who was speeding past in the void, feeling a little strange.
She cultivated the *Da Zizai Ruyi Fa* (Great Freedom Wish-Fulfilling Art), forming a natural charm, which also made her very famous among the Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals in Da Mo Domain. But she was a little confused about the situation just now. Did he recognize her or what?
"A strange guy!" Su Youji thought. Moreover, Jiang Xuan's exploration speed was too fast. Running around like that in these Suifeng Ruins, he would definitely die quickly. She might forget about it in the blink of an eye.
...
"A year, other than some treasures, I haven't encountered a single restriction. Is it lucky or unlucky?"
On a mountain peak, Jiang Xuan was also speechless. There are many opportunities within the Suifeng Ruins, but they are mostly hidden in certain restrictions. The easiest way to touch the restrictions is to fly across the high altitude.
After a year, Jiang Xuan found a strange ancient place. In the vast sky, you could see gray air currents. Each gray air current rushed out of a deep abyss on the ground. After intersecting with other air currents in the high altitude, it fell into another abyss below. Each air current carried a unique Dao rhythm. If you forcibly broke through, you might be swept away and killed.
"Baimang Hedao (Hundred Rivers Merge into Dao)..." Jiang Xuan couldn't understand these things. Otherwise, he wouldn't be Ancestral God, but a Dao Lord.
But this didn't prevent him from looking for clues. To enter the core of the Suifeng Ruins, you can't go against the wind. You must follow the Baimang in the void. As long as you can withstand the gray storm, you can naturally reach the core area.
But Jiang Xuan didn't need to do that. He didn't have the ability to go to the core area. Now he just wanted to borrow a wind force to enter one of the tributaries.
"That one." He couldn't understand Baimang Hedao, so he could only choose a weak one, and then enter the tributary along the wind.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the deathly silence and extinction aura in the gray storm. Even the weakest of them threatened Jiang Xuan beyond Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals.
"Boom--" The gray storm swept in the instant Jiang Xuan approached, and the extremely strong force wrapped him and kept flying downwards. Jiang Xuan didn't resist the wind, but he was always vigilant. There would be great crises in any tributary, and he didn't want to fall here.
"Woooooo~~"
In the blink of an eye, he was sucked into the incredibly vast and dark cave below. He didn't know how deep or wide the cave was, as if there was no end, but there was an unusual weirdness in the darkness.
It was a great threat, as if as soon as he entered the deepest part of the cave, his entire body would die and his Dao would disappear.
"Dong!"
Jiang Xuan's demon god body suddenly soared, overflowing with Chaos aura, showing three heads and six arms. One arm after another directly plunged into the rock wall, and continued to deepen along the wind.
His body was comparable to a top-grade Chaos Treasure, and even in this cave, it was not damaged in the slightest. But this was also because he was going with the wind. If he went against the wind, the gray storm would definitely threaten his life.
Moreover, in this gray storm, no energy could be used. Divine power, magic power, mental power... would be shattered the moment they left the body, so Jiang Xuan could only continue to deepen with his demon god body.
His speed was very fast, like a phantom, and he descended quickly. Only a physical body like his could do this. Ordinary Ancestral Gods would be waiting to die if they fell into this kind of place.
A hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles... Jiang Xuan kept climbing down, and occasionally he could encounter some stuck magic weapons, of varying levels, some were Chaos Treasures, and some were Dao Divine Weapons.
When Jiang Xuan dived into it for a hundred thousand miles, he finally saw the gray storm forming a vortex below, covering an area of about a thousand miles. But if you look closely, you will find that at the other end of the vortex, there is also an incomparably deep cave. The gray storm vortex also has many storms that are constantly roaring towards the other cave.
Suifeng Baimang originally had one hundred channels, winding and rotating, and finally converging. Each channel was over a million miles long. Jiang Xuan was now at a turning point in one of the tributaries.
Just like the Suifeng he borrowed to enter this cave, under the entire Suifeng Ruins, there were endless storms, constantly rushing out of the cave, converging in the sky, and then falling into the endless cave again, forming vortexes, circulating back and forth to infinity.
"These caves should be hiding wind beasts. There are many treasures next to the vortex, but wind beasts are more valuable." Jiang Xuan came to the edge of the vortex along the rock wall, and could see many treasures.
All Chaos Treasures and above were taken into Jiang Xuan's pocket. The entire vortex range had as many as hundreds of Chaos Treasures, and even six Dao Divine Weapons, and countless fragments of magic weapons.
"Sure enough!" In a corner of the vortex, Jiang Xuan found a palm-sized blue and white scale. This belonged to a wind beast, and before this scale, there was a broken Chaos Treasure that had been bitten.
In the caves of these Suifeng Ruins, Jiang Xuan could only think of wind beasts having such strength.
Jiang Xuan picked up the scale. At this moment, in the deep cave at the other end, a stream of light was approaching at an extremely alarming speed against the gray storm.
"Amazing!" Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up. This wind beast seemed to be completely unaffected by the storm. It could have such speed against the storm. If he could tame a wind beast, he would be able to come and go freely in this endless cave.
