Li Muran nodded and said, "I have seen a classic book in the library that specializes in various rumors about strange beasts and monsters. Among them, there are several of the most terrifying ancient beasts, and Qiongqi is one of them! It is said that such ancient beasts are extremely powerful, and even masters in the real-life stage are difficult to deal with!"

"Even the existence of the real-life stage is difficult to deal with, so why can't the master and others resist?" Mu Li said in horror.

"The master seems to say the same." The disciple of the Wang surnamed Chixia Temple said: "However, the master said that the Qiongqi beast seemed to be sealed by the power of namelessness, and could not even display its magical powers. Even so, the master and others could not kill it, so they could only join forces to cast spells and trap it."

"So that's it!" Li Muran felt a little relieved when he heard this. Otherwise, with the terror of Qiongqi's ferocious beast, they were afraid that none of them would be able to escape!

The disciples watched from afar, and did not dare to step forward without receiving the orders from the elders of the sect. Soon, many cultivators arrived here one after another, obviously they had received notifications from the sect.

Not long after, forty monks from the four sects of the Divine Travel Period had arrived here one after another. They all disappeared into the colorful light shield and left the disciples outside.

"The disciples of the four sects obey the order!" A thick sound suddenly came from the light shield. This sound not only spreads ten miles apart, but also shocked the disciples nearby.

The disciples immediately calmed down and did not dare to talk loudly.

"Who is this?" Mu Li asked curiously.

"I heard that Master Xuanmu of Daming Temple should be Master Xuanmu. He is the most respected monk in Daming Temple except for Master Xuanfa!" Qingfengzi said with a serious expression, "I heard that Master Xuanmu is a righteous man and has a good status among the four sects of the Divine Travel Period. All the masters and uncles have to give him some face."

"Master Xuanmu?!" Li Muran sneered in his heart. The monk who was killed by him was said to be the first disciple of Master Xuanmu.

Master Xuanmu continued to say loudly: "We, the monks of the Shenyou period, have trapped this ancient beast, and there will be no danger for the time being. However, this move is very mana. Although we can take turns to cast spells and rest, we are only sure to trap this beast for three days."

When the disciples heard this, most of them felt relieved. Three days were enough for them to escape from the Catacomb City.

However, Master Xuanmu's next words were a turnaround. He said: "We found that there was an entrance at the center of the ancient city ruins that could lead to a deeper place. The results of preliminary investigations proved that there was actually a second floor of space in this Catacomb City!"

"Second Level!" Li Muran was shocked, which meant that there were more unknown areas that had not been detected, and there might be unexpected secrets or treasures.

The other disciples were also surprised. Some looked excited and excited, while others were still silent.

Master Xuanmu said: "This ferocious beast comes from the entrance of the second floor. As for whether there are other dangers in the second floor, it has not been discovered yet. But it is definitely worth my investigation. The monks of the Divine Travel Period must join forces to deal with this ferocious beast, so they cannot pull out. Those who go to the second floor to explore will only be you and the disciples of the four sects."

"The opportunity is rare, only three days. In three days, I must seal this entrance with the ferocious beasts to prevent ferocious beasts from harming the world! As for whether to enter the second level of adventure, it depends on your personal wishes. We, the monks of the Shenyou period, neither force or force them. However, if you find the treasure, each disciple can receive a spirit stone reward equivalent to one-third of the value of the treasure!"

"Time is precious. You will make a decision now. Those who don't want to go to the second floor can return or stay in the first floor now; those who are willing to go to the second floor can immediately walk towards the entrance."

As soon as Master Xuanmu finished speaking, the colorful light curtain suddenly disappeared, but a smaller golden light shield appeared inside. Dozens of figures were sitting cross-legged next to the light shield. These were all the monks of the Divine Travel Period of various sects. More than a hundred feet away, there was a cave entrance that was heavily guarded, and there was undoubtedly the entrance to the second floor.

"After one stick of incense, the entrance will be closed. You can make a decision quickly!" Master Xuanmu stopped saying this.

Taoist Chixia and other cultivators from the other three sects also spoke, encouraging their disciples to go for an adventure.

The cultivators of the four sects of Divine Travel agreed to join forces to restrict ferocious beasts and let their disciples go for adventures. Although there are practical needs, they also try to ensure fairness. For them, the second level is an unknown treasure. How much treasure can be harvested depends on the opportunities and fortunes of the disciples of each sect.

"What should I do? Go, or not?" Almost all the disciples were thinking about this issue. Some made a quick decision and immediately walked towards the entrance of the light curtain. Obviously, the earlier they entered the second floor, the greater the chance of discovering the treasure.

Some disciples are hesitant and go, the danger is unknown, and they may never return; if they don’t go, it is a pity to miss the opportunity.

"Senior Brother Zhao, do you think you should go?" Mu Li asked with a frown. He turned around, but found that Li Muran was not by his side at all.

"Hey, where is Senior Brother Zhao?" Mu Li looked around in surprise, but found that Li Muran was one of the disciples who first rushed to the entrance of the second floor.

"Junior Brother Mu, you have a low cultivation level, so it's better not to go!" Qingfengzi said, then sighed and walked towards the entrance.

"Strange, Senior Brother Qingfeng doesn't seem to want to go, so why do you still want to go?" Mu Li said to himself in confusion. He did not enter the second level in the end - after all, he was just a disciple in the early stage of Qi and meridians, and most of the disciples present were disciples in the late stage of Qi and meridians. Only a part of these disciples in the late stage of Qi and meridians entered the second level.

Li Muran walked to the entrance and saw the situation in the light curtain more clearly.

The forty monks of the Divine Travel Period were all sitting cross-legged, some were casting spells, while others were meditating and adjusting their magic power. Each of them looked solemn, and none of them looked relaxed.

Just in the center of their surroundings, there was a thicker light shield. Among them, there was a unicorn beast covered with dark golden scales. It was as huge as a hill, crawling on the ground and seemed to be in a drowsiness.

"Is this the ferocious beast Qiongqi? Apart from being very huge, it doesn't seem special." Li Muran thought to himself. He speculated that this Qiongqi was indeed sealed by an inexplicable seal, otherwise the terrifying aura of the ancient ferocious beast alone would be enough to make cultivators like Li Muran tremble.

"Well done! You promised to enter the second level as a teacher. This matter will be rewarded in the future!" Li Muran's ears came the voice of his master Zixia Taoist.

Li Muran looked into the light shield, Taoist Zixia just opened her eyes and nodded to him with a smile.

Although Taoist Zixia's lips remained motionless, there was a sound of words coming into Li Muran's ears: "Be careful and remember what my teacher said to you!"

Li Muran knew that this was a spell called sound transmission. It can use mana to wrap the sound and accurately transmit it for a distance without letting the sound spread.

Using voice transmission can allow characteristic people to hear their own words, but others cannot hear any sound at all.

The sound transmission technique is not complicated, and Li Muran can also use it, but he can only accurately transmit the sound more than ten feet, and it will be difficult to do it any further. However, a monk like Taoist Zixia, who has stronger magic power, can transmit the sound to him hundreds of feet apart.

Li Muran bowed to his master from afar and then stepped into the entrance to the second floor.

Although Li Muran had the intention to enter the second level of exploration, he was not so determined. However, Master Zixia secretly sent a message to him, telling him to enter the exploration and promise a reward. Since he had to go, Li Muran simply entered it earlier. If he went in earlier, he might discover the treasure earlier than others, and he could avoid the traps carefully set by others.

The entrance is under a collapsed and inconspicuous ruin, very secret, and I don’t know how it was discovered by monks of the four sects of Kuanglu. The passage entering the second floor is a bottomless stone staircase. The stone staircase is quite wide and difficult to date, covered with moss and a gloomy and rotten smell.

Walking along the stone stairs quickly, Li Muran suddenly felt a bright light in his eyes and came to a vast and bright ancient city.

Li Muran originally thought that the second floor was even darker. Unexpectedly, this place was an extremely prosperous city. Although it was just ruins of ruins, tall buildings could still be seen everywhere. Moreover, the walls of these buildings were inlaid with fluorescent round stones. Although the light emitted by a single round stone was relatively weak, the number of round stones shone brightly under the combined effect of the vast number of round stones. Even if it was not like the daytime, at least the scenery could be seen several miles away, and there was no need for night pearls at all.

Li Muran recognized the origin of these round stones. This kind of stone is called fluorescent, which can be emitted for tens of thousands of years. It has no other use, so it is not of high value. However, the amount of fluorescent stones this ancient city has is difficult to estimate, and in general, it is also an unimaginable huge wealth.

Many disciples were attracted by these fluorescent stones, took out magic weapons, dug out pieces of fluorescent stone from the ruins, and put them into storage bags.

After Li Muran dug out a few larger pieces of fluorescent stones, he no longer delayed his time for this and continued to explore. There was only three days in total for exploring this place. It was not cost-effective to waste too much time for some fluorescent stones.

He walked deeper and deeper, but found that the city under the city was extremely wide and could not see the end at all.

"No wonder my master is very interested in this second-level ancient city! Judging from the layout, the ancient city above is mostly just a concealment, and this city under the city is the real ancient ruins!"
