Incredible Sect Simulator

And now, the Dubhe Institute has actually taken the initiative to disclose this matter.

Not only did they not conceal the existence of this ancient ruin, but they also truthfully revealed its location, situated in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

For what reason, Lu Ping, after a bit of pondering, understood.

Clearly, it’s to find teammates for the treasure hunt.

But then, questions arose.

Given the capabilities of the Dubhe Institute, why would they need to seek out external cultivators for collaboration?

With this doubt, while listening to Zhang Tianqun finish speaking, Lu Ping merely looked contemplative and did not ask any questions.

At this moment, Xu Dezhi, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "This ancient ruin, due to the restriction array, we have not yet been able to forcibly break through the restrictions to enter and investigate."

"However, based on our observations, we’ve discovered some treasures inside, among which five Five Elements Spiritual Treasures have caught our interest."

"Restriction array, Five Elements Spiritual Treasures."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping murmured to himself silently.

The presence of the restriction array seems to have blocked the cultivators of the Dubhe Institute from entering this ancient ruin.

This was expected.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to reveal the existence of this ancient ruin and could merely explore it secretly themselves.

As for Spiritual Treasures, they are indeed more formidable than Magical Treasures.

Magical Artifacts, Magical Treasures, Spiritual Treasures...

There’s no need to elaborate on Magical Artifacts.

Magical Treasures are weapons wielded by Golden Core Ancestors, unique in nature, with potential for power to grow alongside the cultivator’s cultivation, possessing significant growth potential.

And what about Spiritual Treasures?

These are the weapons used by Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators.

Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators also use Magical Treasures, and can certainly wield Tier Five and Tier Six Magical Artifacts.

As of now, Lu Ping doesn’t have a Spiritual Treasure.

According to a Nascent Soul Stage’s cultivation, one can wield Spiritual Treasures.

But such things as Spiritual Treasures are in the hands of Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, and unless they perish, why would they sell their Spiritual Treasures?

Therefore, the appearance of these five Spiritual Treasures made Lu Ping’s eyes light up slightly, and he couldn’t help but listen attentively.

"Lu Daoist, the treasures within this ancient ruin likely far exceed those mentioned; our intrusion this time is truly to invite you to join us in exploring it."

Here, Xu Dezhi smiled slightly and said, "You might be wondering why we wish to enlist your assistance, but we must reference the previous incident in the Demon Abyss where you acquired the Elemental Magnetic Blood Stone."

As Xu Dezhi continued to speak.

Upon hearing about the Elemental Magnetic Blood Stone, Lu Ping was somewhat puzzled.

What connection does this have to them inviting him to join the expedition team?

"Haha, Lu Daoist may be forgetful like many distinguished individuals."

Xu Dezhi chuckled and immediately explained the rationale behind it.

It turned out that back when Lu Ping acquired the Elemental Magnetic Blood Stone and traded it with Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long, these two cultivators from the Dubhe Institute reported Lu Ping’s entry into the Demon Abyss to the institute.

Upon learning of this, Zhang Tianqun was quite astonished.

What kind of place is the Demon Abyss? It must certainly be guarded by powerful restriction arrays.

Yet even so, how did Lu Ping pass through those restriction arrays to enter the Demon Abyss?

At that time, Zhang Tianhe and Pei Long, out of politeness and apprehension, did not dare to ask. When reporting the matter, there was no way to explain how Lu Ping had managed it.

This became a mystery.

But subsequently, Zhang Tianqun quickly connected it to the ancient ruin.

The residual restriction arrays outside the ruin, though weathered by tens of thousands of years, still retained considerable power.

But this power couldn’t be forcibly broken from the outside even by a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator; it had to be dismantled from within to unravel these restriction arrays.

So, who could enter within the restriction arrays to accomplish this?

After much consideration, Zhang Tianqun thought of Lu Ping.

Perhaps Lu Ping might have a method to attempt it.

Conveniently, during that period, Lu Ping was in secluded cultivation, and after emerging, he countered a Nascent Soul Evil Demon, assisting the Dubhe Institute, which was of great help.

This immediately led Zhang Tianqun to consider inviting Lu Ping to discuss the matter, to see if there was feasibility.

Upon understanding the cause, Lu Ping nodded indifferently.

"Indeed, I did pass through the restriction array your institute set up in the Demon Abyss and entered to acquire the Elemental Magnetic Blood Stone."

Lu Ping did not conceal this matter and spoke truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianqun and Xu Dezhi exchanged a pleased glance.

"Lu Daoist, since you possess such divine techniques, I sincerely invite you to join us in this expedition to the ancient ruin. We need your assistance to help us dismantle the restriction array from within the ruin. What do you think, Lu Daoist?"

Zhang Tianqun urged warmly.

Xu Dezhi also displayed a look of anticipation, his eyes fixed intently on Lu Ping.

They did not report the matter of the ancient ruin to the Beidou Bureau.

If relying on the strength of the Beidou Bureau, they could certainly forcefully break through those restriction arrays and gain the many opportunities and resources within the ruin.

But in doing so, how much of the resources would be left for them?

Once the Beidou Bureau intervenes, the profits shared would indeed be meager.

Rather than this, it’s better for people to make multiple attempts on their own first.

"Hahaha, I almost forgot to tell you, if you are willing to join this endeavor, then the treasures within the ruin can be divided based on our abilities, and it will be up to chance."

"You needn’t worry about the distribution of spoils. Additionally, joining us this time, besides Elder Xu and myself, will be two Nascent Soul True Monarchs accompanying us."

"If Lu Daoist agrees to join, we will be five in total."

The specific identities of the other two Nascent Soul True Monarchs weren’t disclosed by Zhang Tianqun.

Lu Ping could understand this point.

After all, he hadn’t agreed yet, and if at this moment, he disclosed who the other two Nascent Soul True Monarchs were, it wouldn’t be good for them, as it would expose their identities and whereabouts.

Suppose Lu Ping harbored murderous intent, after the painstaking exploration of the ancient ruin, Lu Ping might find and kill the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs for their treasures?

Such occurrences are frequent in the Cultivation Realm.

Having scrambled to reach this realm and status, they were certainly well-versed in this matter, and each was extremely shrewd; how could they make such basic mistakes?

Their willingness to disclose signifies sincerity, informing Lu Ping that at least their strength will be participating.

Moreover, more crucially, one is the head of the Dubhe Institute, and the other is the Supreme Elder of the Dubhe Institute.

These two individuals, whether in terms of identity or strength, are at least formidable and not vile sorts.

At the very least, they are fellow cultivators of the Profound Sects and Orthodox Daoist.

"Lu Daoist, do give it some thought."

Zhang Tianqun smiled faintly. "If you have any doubts, feel free to ask."
