Upon hearing this, Gongsun Xuance showed some confusion.

In the end, he didn't get any information about Paradise Lost from Locke, and Locke shook his head regretfully.

......

Three hundred years later, Lilith was conducting experiments in a private laboratory on the top of the Seventh Peak, while Locke continued to practice and cultivate his body in the courtyard outside the Seventh Peak Bone Hall. Gongsun Xuance suddenly rushed in in a hurry.

"Is there anything wrong?" The exposed hideous bone armor and the sharp barbs in the gaps in the bone armor proved the strength of Locke's body. Faced with Gongsun Xuance's sudden visit, Locke maintained his cultivation movements and asked slowly.

"Brother Locke, something big happened!" Gongsun Xuance shouted.

"What's the matter?" Locke was still in a state of being impatient.

Locke's mentality at this moment has little to do with the mantra of the Qingxin given to him by Gongsun Xuance.

It was also because Gongsun Xuance gave him an extremely precious mantra without hesitation that Locke could tolerate him coming to him from time to time to fight Qiufeng.

The Pure Heart Mantra is not any method of cultivating strength, it is completely a mental method to temper the mind and nature.

Moreover, the entire article of the Qingxin Mantra is not much, with only a few hundred words, but it implies extremely profound principles and laws.

Because of the emotional law of cultivation, the Qingxin Mantra is more useful to Locke.

Although it may not necessarily give Locke much bonus in terms of strength, this change in mind is not a kind of growth for Locke.

At least whenever Locke is irritated and he is secretly tyrannical and murderous intent in his heart, he can silently read the clear heart mantra, which will make Locke feel a clear and thorough heart.

"There are ruins! Ancient ruins!"

"The news from the third peak is said that the third peak master and the fourth peak master have passed!" Gongsun Xuance said excitedly.

For existences like Gongsun Xuance and Locke, which have entered the world of despair for thousands of years, the existence of many ancient ruins in the world of despair is no longer so new.

In addition to the ruins of the Evandale Republic that Locke had entered before and the Phantom Demon Reel and others, there were dozens of ruins that Locke had heard of, seen, and even personally visited in the past few years.

Most of these relics are weathered and decayed. They are as well preserved as the ruins of the Republic of Avondale, and there are even relics left by secret treasures, almost none of them are left.

What is quite interesting is that before these relics were thoroughly excavated and explored, they were distributed in many corners of the desperate world in the form of regular and dangerous places.

Some survivors stayed in those rules and dangerous places for tens of thousands of years, and their original intention was to return to the astral realm through rules and dangerous places. But in the end, they never thought that the rules and dangerous places where they were were just a ruin left by the ancient civilization countless tens of thousands of years ago.

The so-called special rules of the dangerous places are just the remaining forces remaining in the ruins of ancient civilizations.

Seeing Gongsun Xuance so excited, it shows that the newly discovered remains are relatively well preserved.

The ancient civilization that can leave relics in a bitter and cold place like the world of despair must have reached at least the level of the Avondale Republic.

Another factor in Gongsun Xuance being so excited is that he has been a little bored for nearly a thousand years.

Now that an unknown and mysterious ruin was discovered, he immediately invited Locke to explore.

"Do you know which civilization is the ruins of that ruin? Are there any additional clues?" Locke couldn't help asking.

"The news brought back by the survivor of the Third Peak is quite complicated, but it seems to be a powerful civilization ruin full of death and decay." Gongsun Xuance replied.

After saying that, Gongsun Xuance flew sneakily to Locke and whispered, "That ruin seems to attract several settlements with peak despairers. It is said that there are special passages leaving the despair world in the ruins."

Gongsun Xuance's reminder made Locke interrupt his continued practice.

He first looked at the directions of the third and fourth peaks, and then said, "You go and prepare first. I'll call Lilith and Ruier, and we'll set off together later."

"It's so bad!" Gongsun Xuance replied.

......

The ancient ruins mentioned by Gongsun Xuance are still very far away from the Jiuchong Mountain settlement area where they are currently located.

Even if a few people rushed to the full speed, it would take nearly two years to reach the target ruins.

It was not easy for the third peak survivor to bring back the news. It took five years to return to Jiuchong Mountain after discovering the remains.

What caused the survivor to be seriously injured was not the remaining danger in the ruins, but the attacks from other survivors from the desperate world.

Two years later, a huge skeleton basin similar to a crater appeared in front of Locke and others.

Just as I approached this skeleton basin, Locke felt a certain concentration of death and decay elements. This is a very rare thing in the desperate world with extremely scarce element concentration.

"These death elements..." Lilith, who was walking with her, frowned immediately. She seemed to have discovered some familiar power elements, but she was not sure.

"Go in and take a look first, it seems quite lively inside." Rock said.

As he spoke, a strong fluctuation of force emanated from the skeleton basin inside the Crater, and there seemed to be a fierce battle in it.

In this chaotic and disorderly world like the world of despair, an ancient ruin that is most likely to have an external channel will inevitably urge those who are desperate to fight in it.

In comparison, the Jiuchong Mountain Rules and the Eye Rules that Locke is located in and the rare dangerous place where he runs through the eye Rules that he once stayed are rare and relatively stable internal order.

When Locke and others climbed over the Crater and arrived at the bottom of the basin valley inside the Crater, a group of black hideous spiders appeared in front of everyone, and a war broke out with a large number of survivors.

These hideous spiders seem to be the same species, with strange white patterns covering the spider's body surface.

These patterns are not simply decorative. An indescribable special energy acts on every spider with these patterns, making these spiders only at the demigod level, but they can burst out in a short period of time comparable to the combat power of level 4 creatures.

This group of spiders did not stop the survivors from exploring the interior of the ruins. In fact, many powerful desperate people have already set off a bloody path from the spider group and rushed into a crypt in the center of the skeleton basin.

The reason why these spiders can temporarily block many survivors is not only the amplification effect of their body patterns on these spiders, but also the fierce style of many spiders not afraid of death and would rather choose to self-destruct than take a step back.
