A few days later, Alex was exploring the maze when he suddenly arrived in front of a huge but ruined palace. The once grand and majestic palace now only had half of its broken walls supporting it, and it was on the verge of collapse.

Alex didn't think much, he entered and started exploring the various great halls inside this palace.

Indeed, he had some harvests. He found a few sheepskin scrolls that were almost completely corroded off the ground.

On a closer look, these sheepskin scrolls were all different types of martial arts skills. However, their ranks were not high and their strongest were not even high quality martial skills.

Looking at the incomplete writing of the sheepskin scroll, Alex laughed bitterly, so what if this was a Royal Rank martial skill? Nine out of ten words were indistinct, and no one could cultivate it!

Unexpectedly, the further he walked, the more sheepskin scrolls he had left on the ground.

Alex's heart moved. He didn't know why there were so many martial skills on the ground.

Alex also found many places filled with water. He guessed that this place might have been destroyed by raging waves of water for some reason.

Very quickly, he followed the martial skills and arrived in front of a place with two doors wide open. Compared to the rest of the ruins, this place was still considered intact.

In front of the palace, a pair of white skeletons stood there with their legs bent, their hands tightly holding onto the door without letting go.

Seeing that, Alex could not help but sigh in his heart.

This was the first corpse he had seen after coming out of the huge building!

One could imagine how this person had clung to the door and refused to let go when the great waves were raging. He was afraid that he would be swept away by the great water. What he did not expect was that although he was not caught in the waves of water, his life was still lost.

As time went by, his body gradually rotted away, leaving only a skeleton holding onto the door tightly.

Alex shook his head and walked in.

The palace was made entirely out of bronze. Perhaps it was because it had been there for too long, but it was covered with rust and there was a layer of dust on one's hands.

Inside the palace, there were a large number of iron frames. Although the iron frames were all crooked, Alex was sure that this was actually a library where many martial arts skills used to be stored!

Alex started looking around. If he could find a few precious martial skills, then it would be a great harvest.

Unfortunately, this place seemed to have been rummaged through many times. As long as there was a complete martial skill on the ground, it was already taken away.

After searching for a while, he still could not find any results. The doubt in Alex's heart soared.

Strange!

Although this library was large, it only had one floor.

No matter what power it was, the library should have many floors. The reason it had so many floors was very simple. Some precious Martial Skills had to be stored separately in order to be preserved. You can't just put everything together, can you? In that case, flipping through it would also be very inconvenient!

Alex thought that there was definitely something fishy going on inside!

There must be a secret chamber!

Alex started to search carefully, but after some time, he was still unable to find anything, just when he was beginning to doubt his own judgment, his gaze suddenly turned towards a pattern in the corner of the hall. Under the thick dust, Alex saw a circular pattern. On the way, Alex had seen this pattern many times.

However, the circular pattern seemed to have the intention of collapsing. If one didn't pay careful attention, one wouldn't be able to see it clearly.

"Could this be a kind of mechanism?"

Alex pressed down with his hand, and indeed, he had pressed down on the pattern.

"Boom!"

The moment the pattern was pressed down, the wall before them began to move. Soon, a hidden door that would allow three people to pass through side by side appeared!

"There really is a secret chamber!" Alex was overjoyed when he saw this and could not wait to walk in.

This was no longer a large stone room. The interior was extremely simple and crude, with only a stone bed. On the stone bed, there were three bamboo scrolls placed side by side. The bamboo scrolls were wrapped with golden threads; they were clearly well-preserved.

Flipping open the bamboo scrolls, Alex's lips curved up in a smile. His guess was right, these three bamboo scrolls were all the secret treasures, they were all precious martial skills!

Emperor Rank Skill: Tyrant Fist Technique.

Emperor Rank Skill: Dark Steel Battle Physique.

Void Rank Skill: Earth Shrinking Steps.

Alex looked over, his heart surging as he read the introduction to these three skills.

The Tyrant Fist Technique carried a tyrannical Emperor's Aura within it. It was a powerful fist technique that was as powerful as the sun, possessing boundless might! After mastering it, one would be able to destroy a mountain with a single punch!

Dark Steel Battle Physique was an extremely rare body tempering martial skill. After learning it, one's body would be like black iron, unbreakable.

As for Earth Shrinking Steps, it was a movement technique. When used, a martial warrior's speed would be so fast that it'll seem like the ground itself is shrinking.

Alex did not lack any offensive martial skills. Furthermore, because of the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, his physique was already extremely strong.

What he really needed was the movement skill. Alex decided to practice Earth Shrinking Steps and give away the other two skills to the White Family when he'll return there.

After putting away the three bamboo scrolls, Alex's mood became extremely good. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze fell on a small bead. Alex became curious and picked it up. The moment he picked up the bead, it suddenly started to shine brightly.

Alex raised his eyebrow. For some reason, he could feel that the bead was actually guiding him in some direction.

Alex decided to follow the direction given by the bead.

Following the directions given by the bead, Alex arrived at a huge medicinal field, and this place had clearly been overturned many times by people in the past.

There were a few tiny stalks of spirit medicine growing in the disturbed soil. The stalks weren't very old, only less than a hundred years old.

"These medicinal herbs aren't worth much."

Alex shook his head, what use would a hundred years old elixir have?historical

Just as he was about to leave, the bead bloomed with a brilliant light. This light was extremely dazzling.

"Hmm?"

Alex was a little suspicious, what exactly did this mean?

Could it be that this place has other treasures?

Alex followed the bead's direction and walked to the center of the medicinal field. When he arrived at the center of the medicinal field, the radiance emitted by the beads became even more dazzling.

Alex lowered his head to look at his feet, only to see that the ground beneath his feet was extremely soft, with a stomp, it had caved in a bit.

Looking at the brightness of the bead, if there were any spiritual medicines below, they would be top tiers!

Thinking about this, Alex heavily stomped the ground.

He had originally thought that there would be a small crater on the ground, but to his surprise, the herb field beneath his feet had completely collapsed. There was actually a huge hole in the ground!

Alex fell into the cave.

"Pata."

After a few seconds, Alex landed on the ground with both feet, and immediately observed his surroundings.

This was an underground palace, and the entrance was below the herb field.

After entering the underground palace, the bead immediately blossomed with an even brighter light, lighting up the surroundings with incomparable brightness.

"The light is even brighter now?"

Alex was extremely surprised at the bottom of his heart. The constant changes in the light emitted by the bead meant that the distance between him and the speculated treasure was getting closer and closer.

Just as Alex was about to step forward, he suddenly felt that he stepped on something.

Looking down, it was a thick layer of stone slabs. Judging from the color of the cracks, it seemed to have just been broken off!

Raising his head again, Alex realized that there was also a stone tablet in the hole above. The mark of the stone tablet being broken matched perfectly with the stone tablet below.

In Alex's heart, he instantly came to a conclusion. He was sure that someone had come here not long ago!
