Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

"This Immortal Ruins is truly extraordinary!"

"I've just entered the game and already faced life and death; from now on, I must be extremely cautious!"

Su Tu thought silently.

This was the first time since he embarked on the path of Martial Arts Dao that he felt death was so close to him.

If he hadn't mastered the Heaven-Flipping Seal, even if he understood that everything was an illusory hallucination, he might not have been able to escape from it.

Su Tu took a deep breath to calm himself.

The connection to his original world still hadn't returned; it seemed that in this Immortal Ruins, the Power of the Heart and Spirit could not be utilized.

"The power of the heart and spirit is forbidden, but I did feel a surge of Immortal Power within my body just now."

"Could it be that my previous assumption was wrong, and the composition of Immortal Power has nothing to do with the heart and spirit...."

Su Tu once again manipulated the Heaven-Flipping Seal, but without the support of Immortal Power, it was only useful for calming the mind.

He had previously speculated that the heart and spirit were one of the elements constituting Immortal Power, but since the heart and spirit were sealed here and yet Immortal Power could still arise, this suggests that Su Tu's previous assumption might be incorrect.

This is obviously not the time to think too much about it; the Immortal Ruins are too mysterious, so it's better to figure this place out first, and then think about the matter of Immortal Power.

Su Tu observed his surroundings.

This looked like the most dilapidated, decaying village; the stone tablet at the entrance was covered by a thick layer of dust.

"The Immortal Ruins is a village?"

Su Tu felt a bit absurd, and somehow this village also seemed somewhat familiar.

Immortals are grand beyond words, transcending the ten realms of life and death, peering into the secrets of all beings. Su Tu originally thought that even if the Immortal Ruins were not above some Celestial Palace, they should at least be in an Immortal Spirit Land.

But no matter what, he would never have thought it would actually be in a... village.

Yet, after what just happened, he had become extremely cautious about the Immortal Ruins.

He took steps forward, his entire body tensed, ready to attack at the first sign of any anomaly.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, something tripped Su Tu's foot, something buried beneath the dust. Su Tu kicked upward with his toe.

A slightly faded red string was instantly lifted from the dust, tied with a Copper Coin on it.

Seeing this scene, Su Tu's expression changed instantly.

Then, he looked around again—it was familiar! He had seen this red string and Copper Coin!

Just yesterday in that eerie dream!!

"This is the village from my dream!"

As this thought emerged, Su Tu looked again at the village entrance; he realized that if the dust were brushed away and the decay repaired, it would look exactly like the entrance of the village covered with red strings in his dream!

Then thinking back to the system's prompt at that time...

The past of Immortals...

There once was truly an Immortal who stayed here...

The means of the Immortals are beyond comprehension; who said the Immortal Ruins must be their cultivation cave, their Celestial Palace of immortality.

"Are you in here?"

Su Tu looked at the ruined village, his eyes seemingly witnessing the figure of that infinitely sorrowful woman made of hair; are you an Immortal, or something else?

"Before I entered, Teacher Wei Yang told me two words—Profound Lady."

"To my knowledge, among the Immortals, those with the name Profound Lady are few; there's only Nu Ba, Nine Heavens Profound Lady, Star Moon Yao Ji."

"Could you be one of them..."

Su Tu was nearly omniscient about Huaxia mythology; when Wei Yang mentioned Profound Lady, these three names immediately popped into his mind.

Aside from these three, there is another being in the world also bearing the name Profound Lady, but it's too grand and magnificent for a small village like this to even bear its gaze.

In fact, Su Tu couldn't imagine that the woman composed of hair would be one of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, Nu Ba, or Star Moon Yao Ji.

These three are towering existences among the Immortals; Nu Ba is the incomprehensible god, the head of disasters; Star Moon Yao Ji is the shepherd of stars; Nine Heavens Profound Lady was one of the first War Gods.

These three are lofty beings, how could they be related to such a small village?

But Wei Yang wouldn't deceive him; this site has already been explored, and Wei Yang mentioning "Profound Lady" was definitely not spontaneous.

With curiosity in mind, Su Tu walked step by step into the village.

Upon entering the village.

Su Tu immediately felt uncomfortable all over; it was a feeling hard to describe, like a living person standing amidst a tomb of the dead, and chills surged toward Su Tu incessantly.

"Save me~"

"Save me~"

At the same time, two winding, mournful wails sounded in Su Tu's ear.

Su Tu abruptly lifted his head, looking at a corner of the village; unlike the other dilapidated houses, that room remained clean and bright despite the unknown passage of time.

Like a bright lamp, dazzling and radiant.

More importantly... that 'lamp' carried a certain power; the moment its light touched Su Tu, his body emitted a roar, and every acupoint inside him trembled with excitement.

The Celestial Acupoint even continuously exhaled and inhaled True Qi, divine light overflowing.

It was a mysterious force, capable of merging with Qi, transforming it; more importantly... that mysterious force seemed capable of generating... Immortal Power!!

Su Tu's eyes shone brightly; he took large strides toward that room.

The closer he got, the clearer the pleas from within the room became; until when Su Tu stood at the doorway, he even felt something trembling within the room.

"Save me~"

"Immortal of the future, save me,"

"I am the Profound Lady; if you can save me and help me escape, I am willing to accompany you for life; in your era, my existence can help you ascend to supremacy."

"Save me, save me!!!"

The voice grew louder, continuously penetrating through the door into Su Tu's ears.

However, Su Tu made no further move.

Instead, he stood quietly at the door of that room, continuously letting his body merge with that mysterious force; the Qi within him kept transforming, the True Qi inhaled and exhaled, and the ordinary Qi in the acupoints within him began to exhibit Golden Light...

That's a characteristic unique to True Qi!!!

In other words, at this moment, the ordinary acupoints within Su Tu's body were fostering True Qi that only the Celestial Acupoint could possess!

As for why Su Tu didn't open the door, aside from being cautious...

[You are confronting an Evil God directly, +500 Dao Skill Level, +500 Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency, +500 Body Strengthening Proficiency, +500 Fighting Proficiency]

The system's huge prompt was right before him, making it difficult for Su Tu to fall into a trap.....

.....

"What?? Someone has already exchanged for the entrance qualification to the Immortal Ruins and has already gone in??"

Chen Daowen's face turned cold.

Under his feet were Huang Dao and others. These A-level prodigies couldn't last even three seconds before Chen Daowen and were completely harvested.

But the points collected fell far short of his expectations.

Upon inquiry, he learned that someone had already harvested a round of points first, and moreover... the person had entered the Immortal Ruins!!
