Chapter 69: Immortal Ascension Token (1)
Under the dark purple sky that seemed to have remained unchanged for ten thousand years.

The wind blew the withered leaves into a huge ruin.

The ruins looked like a village.

There were hundreds of families scattered around.

Many of the houses were even built with bricks.

The ground was even paved with neat gravel slabs.

This should have been a bustling village.

However, after experiencing the disaster of that year and the erosion of time.

Now, only ruins were left.

Many houses had collapsed, and there were broken walls everywhere.

The neat road had long been broken by the lush weeds.

Rotten wooden barrels and broken wheelbarrows covered in moss could be seen everywhere.

A gentle breeze blew, and one could vaguely see black and broken bones among the swaying weeds.

One could vaguely imagine the disaster that had suddenly erupted here back then.

Su Mo slowly looked away from a skeleton with many sharp bone spikes.

He turned to look at Xue Qiaoqiao.

He saw her looking at the two skeletons under a rotten wood door with a look of pity.

The two skeletons were one big and one small. The big one held the small one tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to run home.

However, she suffered some kind of attack. Her sternum was shattered, and the child in her arms had a crack in her skull.

Su Mo looked ahead and saw that the grass was filled with these skeletons.

“Is this the Demonic Tribulation?”

He muttered.

Judging from the situation at the scene.

The villagers were all killed in an extremely short period of time.

The murderers were either villagers who had suddenly mutated or mutated cultivators like the second disciple of the Abbey Dean.

This was because there were obviously some bones that did not look like ordinary humans.

Originally, Su Mo did not have much of an impression of the term ‘demonic tribulation’.

After all, that was too far away from him.

But now, many ordinary people had died on the spot because of the aftershock of the demonic tribulation.

He could roughly understand how desperate the people in this world were.

He couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

He couldn’t hide.

As long as there were living beings.

As long as there is still the origin power/energy of the first wave

Mutation could happen at any time.

No one’s will could change it.

The remaining creatures, whether they were mirage demon or nightmare devil, were not so much transformed from humans.

It was better to say that they were another species.

In this world, humans had long gone extinct.

Thinking of this, even Su Mo couldn’t help but shiver.

If this demonic tribulation erupted in the human world…

Su Mo hurriedly stopped his thoughts and shifted his thoughts to the matter at hand.

He asked Xu Wei, who was not far away,

“Sergeant Xu, we should have reached the point where the distress signal was sent, right?”

Xu Wei’s eyes swept across the ruins in all directions, and a hint of vigilance rose on his dark face.

“Judging from the distance, it should be correct.

Everyone, be careful from now on. This place gives me a bad feeling.

Perhaps the Puppet Master had set up a trap here.”

Zhang Zhenyu nodded and said,

“Of course, we have to find someone, but we can’t just focus on finding someone and ignore the surrounding environment.

He could not fall into the same trap a second time.”

Everyone gathered together and carefully advanced into the depths of the village.

With such vigilance, they soon found the scene of the battle at the end of the village.

However, looking at the four corpses on the ground, it was obvious that they were too late.

Everyone immediately went forward to investigate.

Three of the four corpses were their men.

The other one was covered in sharp bone spikes. It was obviously a mutated monster.

From the looks of it, the two sides had engaged in a battle. After both sides had perished, one of their own had barely escaped.

Looking at the footprints and bloodstains on the ground, perhaps the survivors were not in good condition.

Xu Wei and the others conducted a more in-depth inspection of the scene to infer the situation of the battle at that time.

Su Mo crouched down beside the bone spike monster and picked up a token that had fallen from the grass.

The token was black and metallic in color. It felt like it was made of iron. There were a few big characters engraved on it that he did not recognize.

However, the game interface provided him with more detailed information through the contact between his palm and the token.

[Item: Immortal Ascension Token]

[prompt/notification: This token was originally in the possession of the Myriad Dao Alliance’s Foundation Establishment disciple, Chang Hu. There are a total of five of them, and they are used to absorb extraordinary cultivation seeds.

While Chang Hu was carrying out the recruitment mission in Serpentine City, he quietly returned to the village where he was born to see if there were any suitable cultivation seeds.

In the end, because he and his two junior brothers suddenly fell into a mutation, the entire village was wiped out.

After that, his two junior brothers were also killed on the spot, leaving him to wander around for more than 400 years.

In the end, he was surrounded and killed by the Dawn Bureau’s Tidal Squad.]

” Note 1: The holder of this token will become a disciple of the Myriad Dao Alliance after the approval of the External Affairs Hall. He will enjoy the resources to advance to the Qi Refining Stage.”

” Note 2: With this token, one can enter any restriction array below Black Grade in the Myriad Dao Alliance.”

[Note 3: With this token, you can enter the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance’s related areas such as the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion, the Sword Test Cliff, and the Tranquil Heart Palace.]

Su Mo looked at the prompt/notification on the game interface and felt a little emotional.

He did not expect that behind this mutated monster, there was such a tragic past.

It was a good intention, but it turned into such a tragedy.

If he was still conscious at that time, he would have felt despair, right?

Su Mo sighed and looked at the token in his hand.

To be honest, this token was considered a good thing.

If it was before the demonic tribulation descended, it would probably cause many people to fight over it.

After all, this was equivalent to a cultivation spot.

However, the crux of the problem was that the entire the Origin World’s cultivation world had almost collapsed.

The Myriad Dao Alliance had probably been destroyed long ago.

As a gathering place for cultivators, once it mutated, the scene would be unimaginable.

Not to mention that he didn’t even know where the Myriad Dao Alliance’s sect base was.

Even if they knew, it was impossible for them to go over.

That place was too dangerous. Who knew what level the mutated monsters were?

If a Soul Formation Stage monster appeared, even a saint might not be able to do anything.

He was not going to take such a risk for just a few resources.

After thinking about it, Su Mo casually put the token away. Who knew if it would be useful one day?

He casually looked around and found another token, but it was damaged.

As for the other three pieces, he couldn’t find them. He probably lost them during the battle.

It didn’t take long for everyone to understand the situation at the scene.

Then, he collected his three comrades who had died in battle and simply dug a pit to bury them.

If they had the chance to come back after this, they would definitely find a way to bring the corpse out.

Now, this was the only way to deal with it.

Following the trail of blood and footprints, they searched for the supernatural being who had left.

After searching for about 20 minutes, they finally found the unconscious survivor in a bush.

Xue Qiaoqiao, who had recovered slightly, treated him and finally pulled him back from the brink of death.

However, before everyone could heave a sigh of relief, a bunch of fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky in the southwest direction.

It was blue fireworks.

The Puppet Master was found!

P.S. I came back too late today. I still have something to do. I’ll update it tonight. Sorry, sorry.
