Since they had already acknowledged each other as his uncle and nephew, Tushan Yue didn't waste any more time. He said to Qinchuan, "Our Tushan Family found this ancient human ruin three years ago. Coincidentally, one day, our starship passed by a space swirl and found some remains in the swirl. After some research, we found that the style of those remains belonged to the ancient human race. In order to find out the history of those remains, we sent people into the swirl and found an ancient human ruin. We also found those jade pendants. We found out that as long as one has the jade pendants, one can freely enter and exit the ancient human ruin without being affected by the swirl!"
Hearing Tushan Yue's words, Qin Chuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise on his face. He said in a low voice, "No wonder I felt that the jade pendant was so simple and full of charm. It turns out that it was left by the ancient human race!"
"Indeed."
Tushan Yue chuckled and said, "And according to our deduction, that ancient human ruin should be a trial ground for the humankind to train their younger generations."
Speaking of this, the smile on Tushan Yue's face disappeared. He sighed and continued, "But sadly, our Tushan Family had tried our best. We sent countless people into that ancient human ruin to investigate, but very few people could come back alive. It's said that there are many powerful traps in that ancient human ruin. They shouldn't hurt people, but after countless years, they have gone out of control. Anyone who touches them will die!
For this reason, our Tushan Family suffered a great loss, but failed to gain much from that ancient human ruin. Added with the fact that this ancient human ruin has been showing signs of collapsing recently, we had to make the decision to invite all the heroes in the world to explore this ancient human ruin together! "
Hearing this, Qinchuan was a bit surprised. He asked, "This ancient human ruin is collapsing?"
Tushan Yue nodded and said to Qinchuan, "According to our preliminary speculation, this ancient human ruin can last for three years at most!"
"I see."
Qinchuan slightly frowned, "If we can't finish exploring this ancient human ruin within three years, that would be a shame."
"That's what we thought as well. That's why we announced the news."
Tushan Yue chuckled, "But compared to the others, our Tushan Family has a certain advantage. After all, we have been exploring this ancient human ruin for three years. We have sacrificed a lot, but some sacrifices are worth it."
Hearing Tushan Yue's words, Qinchuan straightened his ears, because he clearly knew that what Tushan Yue was going to say next must be related to the intelligence that he mentioned before!
"As far as I know, there are five kinds of traps in this ancient human historical site, and all of them are related to magic talismans, corresponding to the nature of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. As long as you can solve one of the traps, you can get the reward hidden in the trap. So far, our Tushan Family has been rewarded three times in total, including a magic pill, a cultivation method and a level-5 battle formation!"
Tushan Yue looked at Qinchuan in a complicated way and said, "With your talent in magic formation, you might be able to gain quite a lot of rewards."
Hearing Tushan Yue, Qinchuan was a bit surprised, "Are the rewards so generous?"
Ancient human beings were famous for their magic pills and magic talismans. Since those pills could be used as rewards for solving magic formations, Tushan Yue assumed that those pills and magic talismans must be great!
"The rewards are generous indeed, but the price we paid is amazing as well."
Tushan Yue smiled and said to Qinchuan, "If you don't have a hundred percent chance, I suggest you not to try."
Qinchuan nodded slightly. From what Tushan Yue said, it wasn't hard to figure out that Tushan Family people must have paid a great price to solve the three traps and get the rewards. Tushan Family had a large number of people, and could try many times. However, he only had one life. If he tried and failed, the consequences might be horrible!
Pausing for a while, Tushan Yue continued, "In this human ruin, except for the five elements traps, there is a special place called the tower of heaven.
The tower has ninety-nine floors in total. You can get a reward for each floor you pass. Our Tushan Family people reached the twentieth floor at most, and the reward we got was a Heaven Heart pill. Taking the pill, a Divinity cultivator could directly break into a small level! "
Hearing Tushan Yue, Qinchuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Directly break into a small level?!
That's crazy! "
"The alchemy techniques of the Ancient Human Clan are indeed very abnormal."
Tushan Yue sighed and said, "Sadly, the magic pills were lost along with the disappearance of the humankind and the decline of the humanoid kind. Otherwise, we wouldn't need to study magic pills anymore."
"What's the consequence if you fail?"
Qinchuan was curious, "If there are only rewards and no punishments, does that mean we can try as many times as we want?"
"Of course there are punishments."
Tushan Yue said to Qinchuan, "If you fail in the first ten floors, you'll be teleported out. It won't endanger your life, but you can't try again within a month. If you fail in the tenth to twentieth floors, you'll be teleported out as well, but you can't try again within two months. As for the higher floors, I don't know."
Speaking of this, Tushan Yue took a sip of tea and continued, "There's one more thing. Outside the tower, there's a Sky-reaching Stele, on which are the records of all the people who have passed the floors. The first one is a genius of the ancient human race, named Wang Yangfeng. This Wang Yangfeng reached the eighty-sixth floor of the tower as a late Dongxu Realm cultivator!"
Upon hearing this, Qinchuan couldn't help but widen his eyes. There were only 99 floors in the tower, and this guy had reached the eighty-sixth floor. What kind of reward would he get?!
"Hehe, you must be very curious about what reward this Wang Yangfeng obtained in the Sky Penetrating Tower. There is a sub-stele near this Sky Penetrating Stele. The sub-stele records the best rewards obtained by the challengers in the Sky Penetrating Tower. This Wang Yangfeng obtained a high-grade saint artifact as his reward after passing the 86th floor!"
Tushan Yue couldn't help but sigh. "An upper-grade holy weapon! That's a treasure that even the overlords of the universe can only dream of!
Even in the entire Tron Nebula, there's not a single upper-grade holy weapon. The most powerful one is only the Heavenly King Token, a middle-grade holy weapon from the Metropolis Government! "
Hearing this, Qinchuan couldn't help but look forward to the reward he would get after passing the tower. If he could pass the entire tower, what kind of reward would he get?
"Haha, don't just think about the reward. Think about the dangers!"
Seeing the yearning look on Qinchuan's face, Tushan Yue couldn't help but pour cold water on Qinchuan. "There are still many dangers in the ruins of the ancient human race!"
