Chapter 261 Ancient Ruins (Part B)

Dugu Jianling gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, sensing the growing power emanating from Yun Muhan. "This is your opportunity, Yun Muhan. Absorb this power; it will make you even stronger."

Yun Muhan nodded, closed his eyes, and began to wholeheartedly accept the power of the inheritance.

As time passed, his body was enveloped in light, and his figure became increasingly blurred in the light.

Dugu Jianling: This kid's luck... he can find opportunities anywhere, how is that possible...?

As the light gradually stabilized, Yun Muhan's figure appeared increasingly solid at the center of the light vortex.

The power of inheritance flowed silently into his body like an ancient river, merging with his soul. The light slowly dissipated, like the tide receding, revealing the beach after it had been washed clean.

Yun Muhan opened his eyes, and at that moment, stars seemed to twinkle in his pupils, deep and mysterious.

His eyes were no longer simply black, but seemed to contain the brilliance of the entire universe, making one want to be captivated by them. However, Yun Muhan quickly suppressed this, and his pupils returned to black.

His entire demeanor underwent a subtle change. Standing there, Yun Muhan seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, radiating an indescribable majesty and power from within.

A faint halo seemed to linger around his body, swaying gently with his breath, like an outward manifestation of the power within him.

"I feel an unprecedented power." Yun Muhan's voice was tinged with disbelief as he slowly said, "This power... is extraordinary, like... a star."

Dugu Jianling nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "It seems your luck is extraordinary. How strange, the main body of this inheritance actually perished prematurely."

Yun Muhan stood up, his body surrounded by faint energy fluctuations, the aftershocks of the inherited power.

"Let's move on, Dugu Jianling," Yun Muhan continued, his gaze profound. "There may be more secrets waiting for us to discover in this ruin, and perhaps even stronger powers."

Dugu Jianling nodded, his sword tip pointing to the other end of the hall, where a stone door stood, engraved with symbols similar to those on the stone box. "It seems our journey is still long."

As Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling walked toward the stone gate, Yun Muhan placed his hand on the stone gate, and the power of inheritance surged within him, as if awakening the dormant symbols on the stone gate.

He could feel the symbols on the stone gate resonating with him; it was an indescribable connection, as if he had some mysterious bond with this relic.

As he touched it, the stone door slowly opened, emitting a deep, ancient creak, revealing a new passage.

Yun Muhan's voice carried a hint of excitement as he said, "It seems that this power is also the key to unlocking a new path."

Dugu Jianling followed closely behind, his sword ready to meet any challenge. "Then let's continue on and see what other secrets this ruin holds."

As the stone gate opened, an ancient aura surged out from the new passage, carrying a faint smell of mildew and dust—the scent of time, the sedimentation of history.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling followed closely behind, their footsteps echoing in the passage, each step exceptionally clear, as if paying homage to this ancient ruin.

The walls of the passageway were also covered with intricate symbols and patterns, which were different from those seen before; they were more refined and profound.

These patterns seem to tell another story, perhaps about the origins of this civilization, or perhaps about the source of their power. These symbols and patterns, appearing and disappearing in the dim light, are like whispers of history, waiting to be deciphered.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling continued on their way, their hearts filled with awe for the unknown and anticipation for adventure.

Their steps were firm and powerful, each step filled with courage and determination. They were ready to uncover the deepest secrets of this ruin.

“These patterns…they seem to be guiding us to a specific place.” Yun Muhan walked along, observing the patterns on the wall, trying to find clues from them.

Dugu Jianling became even more vigilant, his sword tip occasionally scraping across the ground, leaving faint streaks of light that illuminated the path ahead. "There might be more traps and mechanisms here; we must be careful."

They continued onward, and the passage gradually widened until they finally arrived at a huge circular hall.

In the center of the hall was a pool of water, the water of which was crystal clear, with strange specks of light floating on the surface, like stars in the water.

"This is..." Yun Muhan looked at the pool in surprise, he could feel the powerful energy contained in the pool.

Dugu Jianling approached the pool, his sword tip gently touching the surface, immediately creating ripples. "This water seems unusual; it seems out of place with its surroundings."

Yun Muhan nodded. He began to carefully observe the ground around the pool and discovered some symbols that corresponded to the pool. "These symbols... seem to be guiding us to use this pool."
