BXBX NOVEL Chapter 102 The Ancient Ruin
"Look," Lily exclaimed, pointing to the open area. "There it is! The ancient ruin the stall owner mentioned."
"Indeed, this must be it. Let\'s descend and explore further." Yuan replied.
As they landed in the open area, they could see the remnants of ancient structures, covered in vines and moss. The passage of time had taken its toll, but the beauty and grandeur of the place were still evident.
Anna surveyed their surroundings with a mix of awe and caution. "It seems like this place has been undisturbed for a long time. We must tread carefully."
"Yes, the aura of history and mystery is palpable here. We should be mindful of any traps or hidden dangers." Grace agreed.
"I wonder what secrets this place holds. Shall we explore together?" Emma\'s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Absolutely. Let\'s stick together and proceed with caution, right, hubby?" Xi Meili hugged Yuan\'s right arm as she said.
"Indeed! We don\'t know what\'s inside the ruin or what it looks like from the inside. We should stay vigilant as we enter."
As they ventured deeper into the ancient ruins, the remnants of the structures spread out before them, stretching over a vast area of approximately 500 meters.
The vastness of the structures indicated that this place belonged to someone of great importance in ancient times.
The air grew thick with a spiritual energy that seemed to permeate every corner of the ruins. Yuan and his group could feel its presence, their senses heightened by the pulsating energy surrounding them.
Yuan surveyed the surroundings, his eyes filled with a mix of excitement and determination. "This must have been a palace of a formidable figure from the past. Imagine the treasures and knowledge that might still be hidden here."
"The spiritual energy here is incredibly thick. It feels much denser than anywhere else we\'ve encountered. This place holds immense power." Anna remarked, her voice filled with surprise. She couldn\'t help but be amazed by the potent aura that enveloped the area.
"Indeed, the spiritual energy in this place is ten times denser than anywhere else. Cultivating here will greatly benefit us, as our cultivation speed will be significantly enhanced." Xi Meili, despite her young age, seemed to possess a surprising understanding of the situation.
The other girls exchanged surprised glances at Xi Meili\'s understanding of the spiritual energy. She had only recently been born, and yet she displayed wisdom beyond her age. How could she possess such knowledge?
"Regardless, the increased cultivation speed in this place is a remarkable opportunity. But let us not forget our primary goal, which is to find treasures that will aid us in our cultivation." said Yuan.
Lily\'s curiosity got the better of her, as she was the only person within the group who was more curious than a little. "I wonder what kind of ancient knowledge is hidden within the confines of this ruin. There must be invaluable secrets waiting to be discovered." As she muttered, Anna, Grace, and Emma couldn\'t help but let out a small chuckle.
"There is only one way to find out. Let\'s proceed further into the heart of the ruin."
The group made their way towards the center of the ruin\'s remnant structure. They meticulously explored every nook and cranny, hoping to stumble upon hidden treasures or clues that would unravel the mysteries of this ancient place. However, aside from a few old, half-broken pottery pieces, they found nothing of significance.
Yuan and Xi Meili, utilizing their heightened senses, extended their divine perception to search for any hidden treasures that might be concealed within the ruins. Yet, their efforts yielded the same disappointing result. There was a distinct absence of valuable artifacts or mystical objects.
"There is nothing else here besides these useless old broken pieces of pottery. It\'s useless to continue to look here; let\'s move forward." Yuan was getting annoyed after finding nothing useful after searching for half an hour. The others nodded, sharing the same thought as him.
As they ventured deeper into the ruin, Xi Meili\'s keen observations caught her attention. The broken structures and the architectural layout evoked a strong sense of familiarity within her, as though she had encountered them in her everyday life. "The structure of this ruin is strikingly similar to those in the Nine Heavens. How strange."
"I may not know what the Nine Heavens look like, but I can\'t help but feel a sense of familiarity here as well. It\'s as if I have encountered this architecture somewhere before, but the memories elude me." Yuan also experienced a similar sensation, unable to shake off the feeling that he had encountered this particular architectural style before, though the memories remained elusive.
The mention of the Nine Heavens piqued the curiosity of Anna, Grace, Emma, and Lily. They exchanged puzzled glances, unaware of any mention of such a place in their previous knowledge or experiences. The concept of the Nine Heavens seemed foreign and unfamiliar to them.
Anna, her brows furrowed in confusion, spoke up. "What are you two referring to when you mention the \'Nine Heavens\'? I don\'t recall ever hearing about it before."
"Yes, I\'m curious too. The term \'Nine Heavens\' is entirely new to me. Could you please enlighten us?" Lily added.
Yuan took a deep breath, ready to share what he knew. "The Nine Heavens is a realm of immense power and mystique. It is said to be a realm beyond our mortal world, where divine beings and extraordinary cultivators reside. It is a place filled with celestial wonders and unparalleled cultivation techniques."
Xi Meili nodded, adding, "Indeed, the Nine Heavens is a realm where cultivators can ascend to unimaginable heights and obtain unimaginable power. Its architecture and spiritual energy are distinct, and encountering a similar structure here has stirred our curiosity."
The group listened intently, their fascination growing with each word. The notion of a hidden realm of great power and profound cultivation possibilities awakened a newfound thirst for knowledge and adventure within them.
"Is it possible that this ancient ruin is somehow related to the Nine Heavens?" Anna asked, after pondering for a moment, if this ruin is not related to the \'Nine Heavens\', then why would the structures of this ruin resemble the structures in the Nine Heavens?
Yuan pondered for a moment before responding, "It\'s difficult to say for certain at this point. However, the similarities in architecture and the dense spiritual energy present here raise intriguing possibilities. Exploring further might unveil the secrets that lie within."
Yuan and his group continued his journey through the ancient ruin, his mind swirling with thoughts and contemplations. He couldn\'t help but mull over the significance of the Nine Heavens and its potential connection to their current surroundings. However, amidst all the mysteries and possibilities, his primary focus remained on returning to Earth.
"I understand the importance of the Nine Heavens and its potential influence on this place,"
\'But my ultimate goal is to find a way back to Earth. That\'s where my Lulu is. God has given me a second chance, and I don\'t want to miss this chance.\' Yuan thought as he remembered the moment he used to play with Lulu at the orphanage: those are his most precious memories, which are more valuable than going to the Nine Heavens itself.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a voice resonating in his mind.
[Host, I couldn\'t help but overhear your thoughts,] Nora said. [I must agree with your Mother Anna\'s observation. This place seems deeply intertwined with the concept of the Nine Heavens. The existence of abundant Spiritual Energy and the architecture resembling that of the Nine Heavens are clear indications.]
Yuan paused for a moment, absorbing Nora\'s words. He acknowledged the significance of her statement, realizing that their ability to cultivate within this ruin was due to the dense Spiritual Energy pervading the atmosphere.
"So, you\'re saying that this ancient ruin might hold the key to unraveling the secrets of the Nine Heavens?" Yuan asked, seeking further clarification.
[Indeed, Host. The presence of Spiritual Energy and the architectural resemblance to the Nine Heavens cannot be mere coincidences. Exploring further and uncovering the secrets hidden within this ruin might lead us to a deeper understanding of this realm and perhaps even a path back to Earth.]
"I suppose delving into the secrets of this ruin and uncovering its connection to the Nine Heavens might ultimately aid us in finding a way back to Earth," Yuan acknowledged.

Yuan and his two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister, Lily, and his two beloveds, Emma and Xi Meili, pressed forward in their exploration of the ancient ruin, their hearts filled with anticipation for the treasures that awaited them. As they delved deeper, they finally reached the center of the ruin, where a breathtaking sight awaited them.
In the open area stood a massive stone gate, adorned with intricate ancient symbols that seemed to pulse with a mystical energy. The air around the gate felt thick with spiritual essence, and they could sense a faint ripple emanating from it.
Yuan\'s eyes widened with astonishment. "This... this is incredible," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the imposing stone gate. "The spiritual energy fluctuations... it\'s like nothing I\'ve ever seen before."
Xi Meili, her eyes gleaming with excitement and curiosity, was the first to voice her realization. "This is a secret realm," she exclaimed, her tone laced with astonishment.
