Chapter 580
Amidst the peaks of the Dragonspire Ruins, an energy shield floated by
Inside the energy shield stood Gilmore, Leland, Darius, Emma, and others.
Gilmore wore a relaxed expression, guiding the energy shield as glided leisurely forward.
He was in no rush to hunt for treasures in the Dragonspire Ruins.
He took the opportunity to admire the stunning landscape of the ruins along the way.
“Mr. Reed. Crimson and his crew have already set out to find treasures. Shouldn’t we be doing the same?” Leland expressed his concerns to him.
With a carefree demeanor, Gilmore replied. “Of course we should
This response left Leland even more puzzled.
If they were on a treasure hunt, why did Gilmore seem so unhurried?
Darius, Emma, and the other women shared the same confusion
Gilmore seemed to sense their doubts and explained, “Of course, we’re after treasures.
Tve already studied the Dragonspire Ruins Map, and the most crucial treasure is in the central part of the Dragonspire Ruins, on a peak called Heaven’s Peak, where Heaven’s Tower is located.
“But before we head to Heaven’s Tower, I need to ensure the safety of Emma, Christine, Yolanda, and Daphne. I’ll take you four to a secure location.”
With that said, he glanced towards a somewhat hazy peak in the distance in the Dragonspire Ruins.
Those initially hazy peaks revealed an extraordinary grandeur, and they were shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern the true visage of these mountains.
However, Gilmore, with his extraordinary God’s Eye, could see through the mist and observe the majestic peak.
On top of this peak stood a towering, pitch–black tower.
This was Heaven’s Tower, the tallest structure in the Dragonspire Ruins.
Heaven’s Tower concealed a formidable presence.
g his God’s Eye, Gilmore could see that Crimson and his group were heading towards Heaven’s Peak where Heaven’s
Tower was located.
He understood that they were heading towards Heaven’s Tower because they had examined the Dragonspire Ruins Map. The Dragonspire Ruins Map clearly indicated the location and name of Heaven’s Tower, and it was a spot identified on both the real and fake Dragonspire Ruins Map.
So, Crimson and his group couldn’t possibly miss this Heaven’s Tower.
But even though Crimson and his crew were on their way to Heaven’s Tower, Gilmore didn’t feel any rush.
As he had mentioned earlier, even if Crimson and his group managed to get their hands on some treasures, they might not
make it out alive.

In Gilmore’s mind, letting them go ahead and test the waters for danger was like using them as guinea pigs.
Even though he had already used his extraordinary God’s Eye to uncover the secrets and dangers of the Dragonspire Ruins and Heaven’s Tower, he wasn’t eager to be the first one to venture into these perilous places.
He decided to let Crimson and his group take the risks on his behalf.
When he said that they were going to a safe place, Leland could help but ask curiously, “Mr. Reed, where are we going?”
The Purple Dragon Cavern, Gilmore replied.
The Purple Dragon Cavern was a cavern where a renowned cultivation martialist in the Dragonspire Ruins, known as Dragon, had cultivated.
Purple
Purple Dragon was considered one of the top 10 cultivation martialists in the Dragonspire Ruins due to his immense power.
When Gilmore got his hands on the Dragonspire Ruins Map, he immediately spotted the Purple Dragon Cavern on it.
The Purple Dragon Cavern was equipped with a matrix spell, and once activated, it would provide maximum security.
This would ensure the safety of those without martial arts, like Christine and the other women, while Gilmore, Leland, and the others could go on their way to Heaven’s Peak in search of treasures without worry.
Leland and the others had also seen the map and knew about the Purple Dragon Cavern.
The map also included detailed instructions on how to activate the matrix spell of the cavern.
They all thought that Gilmore’s plan was a good one.
After all, it was too risky to bring those without martial arts, like Christine and the other women, to Heaven’s Peak.
“Swoosh!”
The energy shield swiftly flew towards a peak in the Dragonspire Ruins
The scenery on the peak was like something out of a fairy tale, with fragrant flowers, singing birds, thousand–foot waterfalls, ancient pines, and soaring cranes.
It was like a heavenly realm on Earth.
This enchanting peak was none other than the place where Purple Dragon had cultivated.
The mountaintop bore no palaces and pavilions, only several verdant ancient pines standing like clouds.
Amidst this lush forest of ancient pines was an entrance to a cavern.
Gilmore and his group descended and landed in front of this cavern, nestled among the ancient pines,
This cavern was hewn directly from the rock face of the mountain.
Above the entrance to the cavern was a stone tablet inscribed with three golden words: “Purple Dragon Cavern“.
They had arrived at the Purple Dragon Cavern.
At the entrance of the cavern, two massive vermilion doors, studded with golden nails, remained tightly shut.
As Gilmore, Leland, and the others approached the cavern gate, they could feel a surge of energy emanating from within.
Both Leland and Darius found the energy oddly familiar.

It bore a striking resemblance to the energy aura of the earlier enchantment.
At this moment, a martialist of Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect was about to step forward to push open the cavern gate.
However, he had barely taken a single step when Gilmore called out to him, “Hold on!”
The martialist turned to Gilmore, bowing respectfully, and asked, “Mr. Reed, what is your command?”
Gilmore cautioned, “Don’t touch the cavern gate, or you’ll be gravely injured.”
The martialist looked puzzled, but he was also well aware of his sect master’s incredible power.
Therefore, when he cautioned him about touching the cavern gate, this martialist believed that the cavern gate had to be quite dangerous.
He nodded in agreement and stepped aside.
Gilmore gazed at the cavern gate and then raised his hand.
Then a white, flame–like light appeared above his upturned palm.
The sight of this white, flame–like light was familiar to Leland and the others.
That was because Gilmore had previously used this white light to break the enchantment’s power.
Now, he unleashed the white light with a strike, and it immediately slammed into the tightly closed, vermilion cavern gate.
However, the vermilion cavern gate didn’t shatter by the white light from his hand instantly.
Instead, the gate suddenly emitted ripples of energy
It was evident that it was protected by restrictive forces set up by Purple Dragon.
These restrictive forces of the cavern gate were akin to a smaller–scale enchantment, not as formidable as the one guarding the enchantment of the Dragonspire Ruins, but still a formidable barrier.
Gilmore’s assault with the white light triggered these restrictive forces of the cavern gate, hence the ripples of energy. Just then, a powerful vibration coursed through the air, and the energy ripples on the cavern gate quickly dissipated. There was no doubt that Gilmore had successfully shattered the enchantment forces on the gate.
Gilmore then turned his attention to the martialist who had initially tried to push open the cavern gate and said, “You can go ahead and open the cavern gate now.
The martialist still had a hint of surprise on his face, finally understanding why Gilmore had prevented him from touching the gate earlier.
Otherwise, he might have been seriously injured by now.
The martialist nodded in acknowledgment and stepped forward extending his hand to push the vermilion cavern gate.
With a creaking sound, the two tightly closed vermilion doors swung open.
Gilmore and his group then walked inside.
The cavern was surprisingly spacious. It was furnished with tables, chairs, beds, and coffee tables, all in pristine condition, as if someone had been living there recently.

However, Gilmore knew that no one had inhabited this cavern for at least ten thousand years.

The impeccable cleanliness of the furnishings was due to the cavern’s enchantment, which prevented dust from getting in
The area Gilmore and his companions entered was the grand hall of the cavern.
Surrounding the grand hall of the cavern were several passageways, their destinations shrouded in mystery.
In addition to the internal passageways, the ceiling above the cavern’s walls featured a celestial star formation.
The star formation was depicted with white dots and red lines connecting them.
The star formation looked both complex and simple, exuding a sense of vastness and an air of mystery.
In the center of the star formation, five palm–sized rhombus–shaped five–coloured crystals were embedded.
The five lines of crystals came in five different colors: red, green, blue, purple, and black, each emitting a faint five–colored light and a subtle energy aura.
Gilmore, using his extraordinary God’s Eye, recognized these five–coloured crystals as top–grade gemstones in the Cultivation Realm.
The crystals contained potent cultivation energy.
These five top–grade crystals were the key to activating the matrix spell.
Hiside the crystals resided remarkable energy. Once the energy was channeled into the star formation, the matrix spell of the cavern would immediately spring to life.
And infusing the energy of the crystals into the star formation was a straightforward task.
By simply moving the five–colored crystals to the matrix cores within the star formation and injecting a bit of internal. mana, one could swiftly unleash the astonishing potential of the crystals.
Matrix cores were points on the star formation representing celestial bodies.
Leland and Darius also noticed the star formation on the rocks above the cavern.
They had also examined the Dragonspire Ruins Map, which provided information about the star formation and crystals and the instructions for activating them with internal mana to operate the matrix spell.
“Mr. Reed, is this star formation on the ceiling part of the matrixspell of the cavern?” Leland asked.
Gilmore nodded in confirmation. “Exactly, this star formation represents the structure of the matrix spell, and the crystals serve as its energy source.”
He then turned to Emma, Christine, and the other women, saying, “You all can wait here in this cavern. The two vice sect masters and I will pay a visit to Heaven’s Peak.”
Emma and her companions nodded in agreement. “Please be careful, Gilmore”
He nodded in reply and then instructed the several Grandmasters of Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect who had accompanied them, “You all must protect Miss Gardner and the others well and refrain from leaving the Purple Dragon Cavern without a valid
reason.”
The Grandmasters of Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect nodded and replied to him, “Understood, Mr. Reed.”
Gilmore, Leland, and Darius then left the Purple Dragon Cavern

Chapter 580.
Heaven’s Peak, located at the central position of the Dragonspire Ruins, was the tallest among the thousands of peaks in the
ruins.
Even from a distance, the entire Heaven’s Peak was shrouded in mist, but it still appeared steep and majestic.
On the misty mountaintop was a massive plaza.
At the center of the plaza, there stood a dark and ominous tower,
The tower had 99 floors and was over 200 yards tall, with an octagonal base that extended about 20 to 30 yards from left to right and from front to back.
This colossal tower could certainly be called the tower straight to the heavens.
The colossal tower loomed over the square, casting an imposing presence, as if it were another towering mountain rising from Heaven’s Peak.
In contrast to the octagonal structure of Heaven’s Tower, there were numerous stone pillars surrounding the plaza, each so thick that it would take an entire person to embrace them.
The tops of these stone pillars were adorned with ancient totem carvings, emanating an ancient atmosphere.
At the pinnacle of each stone pillar sat a skeleton, dressed in robes but devoid of flesh, leaving only skeletal remains.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Crimson and the other dozen sect masters descended onto the plaza.
There, they beheld the enormous Heaven’s Tower, surrounded by eight stone pillars, each adorned with a robed skeleton.
The plaza on Heaven’s Peak was eerily silent. The only sound that could be heard was the wind howling through Heaven’s Tower and striking the eight stone pillars.
In the wind, Heaven’s Peak seemed to exude a strange sense of desolation and melancholy.
Crimson and his companions scanned the surroundings but couldn’t spot any cultivators.
In fact, they had flown all the way to Heaven’s Peak without encountering a single cultivator.
Even as they flew past the peaks with palaces on them, there were no signs of cultivators at all.
Consequently, Crimson and his group were quite certain that there were no living cultivators in the Dragonspire Ruins
Although they didn’t understand why there were no living cultivators in these ruins, it was precisely what they had been hoping for.
The Dragonspire Ruins being devoid of cultivators allowed them the freedom to search for its treasures Their first target for treasure hunting was undoubtedly the colossal Heaven’s Tower on Heaven’s Peak.
The name and location of Heaven’s Tower were explicitly marked on the Dragonspire Ruins Map.
Moreover, Heaven’s Tower, which was over 200 yards tall, was impossible to miss.
So, for Crimson and his group, it made perfect sense to prioritize that place in their quest for Cultivation Realm treasures.
