The deeper you go, the stronger that ancient and refined aura becomes.
Zhang Yunyuan could feel that the newly born "Primordial Dao Qi" within his body was rapidly growing stronger and more stable under the nourishment of this aura.
Just then, the system notification sounded again, but it was a "private chat" that only he could hear.
[Note: This place is the cave dwelling left behind by an ancient extraordinary person known as "Ziyang" after his ascension. It retains extremely unique spatial Daoist charm and energy reverberations.]
An extraordinary being? Ascension?
Zhang Yunyuan felt a chill run down his spine and looked at the surrounding stone walls again, his gaze now completely different.
He never imagined that such a shocking secret was hidden behind this Valley of Heaven.
No wonder the Qi field here is so special, and even the rules of heaven and earth are different from those of the outside world.
This is not a naturally formed blessed land at all, but a special place that was modified by ancient powerful beings to guide people to "ascension"!
Wugensheng was clearly unaware of these things.
He sensed the extraordinary nature of this place simply through his extraordinary intuition about "Qi" and regarded it as an excellent place for quiet cultivation.
The two walked down about several hundred steps, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
A huge circular stone chamber appeared before them.
The stone chamber was empty, without any furnishings, except for a huge and ancient circular magic circle carved on the ground in the very center.
The patterns on the magic circle have become somewhat blurred due to the erosion of time, but one can still feel the immense power contained within them.
However, the stone walls at the deepest part of the stone chamber were exceptionally smooth, like a huge mirror that had been carefully polished.
On the mirror-like stone wall, only one line of text is engraved.
It was an ancient script they had never seen before, with strokes like coiled dragons and snakes, full of natural beauty, yet not a single character was decipherable.
"This is it."
Wugensheng walked up to the smooth stone wall, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and inquiry.
"This is my biggest secret."
"When I found this place, I felt a strong connection with it."
"It seems that behind these words lies a shocking secret and an unknown history."
"Unfortunately, I have studied it for a long time and tried many methods, but I still can't figure out what this line of text means or what its purpose is."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the cold stone wall.
Zhang Yunyuan also walked over.
His gaze was instantly drawn to the line of mysterious ancient script.
To others, it might just be a line of undecipherable symbols.
But in his eyes, each stroke seemed to contain a profound truth of the universe, creating a wonderful resonance with the "Primordial Qi" he had just acquired within his body.
Wugensheng, who possesses divine spirit, must feel the same way.
A thought struck him, and he followed Wugensheng's example, reaching out to gently touch the mysterious characters.
The instant his fingertips touched the stone wall.
A faint sense of resonance, originating from the depths of my soul, instantly spread throughout my body.
He felt the "Primordial Qi" within his body involuntarily become active, as if he had been summoned by something.
A thought flashed through Zhang Yunyuan's mind.
As he looked at the mysterious handwriting before him and felt the restless primordial energy within his body, a bold idea arose spontaneously.
Without hesitation, he tentatively channeled a wisp of the newly acquired "Primordial Dao Qi" through his fingertips into the ancient inscription.
The ancient characters, which were originally dull and lifeless, began to emit a faint, indistinct gray light, as if they had been infused with life.
Although faint, it appeared exceptionally clear in the dim stone chamber.
"There's a reaction!"
Wugensheng, who had been observing from the sidelines, saw this scene and his eyes flashed with disbelief!

Upon seeing this, Wugensheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He immediately realized that this mysterious handwriting required not one key, but two.
Two keys that share the same origin, yet are diametrically opposed.
He didn't hesitate at all.
With a thought, the "divine spirit" that dissolves all energies and returns them to nothingness flowed from his fingertips and into the stone wall without reservation.
On one side is the Primordial Dao Qi, which devours all laws and returns to chaos.
On one side are the divine spirits that dissolve all energies and return to nothingness.
Two opposing yet fundamental forces converged with a thunderous roar within the ancient stone wall.
Like the yin and yang fish that had been separated for millions of years, they finally found each other, joined head to tail, and began to rotate.
A perfect Tai Chi diagram, containing the ultimate truth, quietly took shape inside the stone wall.
At this moment, the true restrictions on the stone wall were completely activated.
The ancient characters suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.
The blinding light illuminated the entire deep stone chamber as if it were daytime, yet it also carried a sacred majesty that made people afraid to look directly at it.
Immediately afterwards, the golden light rapidly contracted and collapsed inward.
Ultimately, it transformed into two fist-sized, pure golden orbs of light.
The two orbs of light seemed to possess their own consciousness, transforming into two streams of light that ignored the physical barriers and directly entered the ancestral apertures between Zhang Yunyuan and Wugensheng's eyebrows.
A torrent of fragmented, vast, yet imbued with supreme majesty, memory fragments instantly assaulted Zhang Yunyuan's soul!
His consciousness was forcibly pulled into a chaotic void.
In this void, he "saw" an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom.
The old man stood with his hands behind his back in front of a smooth stone wall, the very wall in front of him at that moment.
Although it was just a blurry silhouette, the overwhelming aura emanating from him made Zhang Yunyuan feel that he was even more terrifying than his master, Zhang Jingqing, one of the top superhumans in the world today!
That's not just a matter of sheer power in terms of Qi, but an absolute crushing on a level of life itself.
The old man let out a long sigh.
In that sigh, there seemed to be endless vicissitudes, a sense of lament for the ways of heaven, and a trace of indescribable... loneliness.
He slowly raised his hand and began to carve in the air onto the stone wall in front of him.
His fingertips were not attached to any Qi, but with his movements, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to be activated, and golden strokes containing supreme Daoist rhyme appeared on the stone wall on their own.
Those were the ancient characters that Zhang Yunyuan and Wugensheng had seen before.
After carving the words, the old man flicked his finger.
A wisp of Qi, so faint as to be almost negligible, flew from his fingertips and merged into the characters.
After doing all this, he set up an extremely profound Qi formation in front of the empty stone chamber.
Zhang Yunyuan could sense that the purpose of that Qi formation was not to harm people, but rather to "guide" and "inherit" them.
In the final moments of his memory, the old man glanced at the words one last time and sighed once more.
Immediately, his figure flickered, transforming into a beam of light, and drifted away, disappearing without a trace.
It's neither death nor ascension; it's simply passing away.
It was as if he had simply left a place he didn't use often.
Considering that Wugensheng found the Cave Heaven Ring in Yuntai Cave Heaven, this old man probably has more than one cave dwelling on Earth.
He might even still be on Earth now, just unknown to the world.
Just like the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, it is hidden in the dimensional crevices that are beyond the reach of the world.
This thought sent shivers down Zhang Yunyuan's spine!
He broke free from the shock of that vast memory, and his consciousness returned to his body.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his chest heaving violently, and instinctively wanted to share this earth-shattering discovery with Wugensheng beside him.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was as if it were locked by an invisible giant lock.
He couldn't pronounce a single syllable.
He was startled and immediately understood.
This is a restriction left behind by that old man.
A new piece of information appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
Only two people can hear the Way; it cannot be told to a third.
[If this is forcibly revealed, both body and soul will be destroyed.]
Domineering and leaving no room for argument.
Zhang Yunyuan was horrified and could only swallow back the words he was about to say.
He turned his head and saw that Wugensheng had also just woken up from the inheritance, his face also showing an undisguised and extreme shock.
Clearly, he also received the same memories and was subject to the same restrictions.
The two looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes a raging storm.
They all realized just how shocking and ancient secret they had stumbled upon.
Just then, Zhang Yunyuan's gaze fell on his hands.
His pupils contracted sharply again!
A ring had appeared on his finger sometime during the night.
