His so called [System] are base on the game Magic World. When he transmigrate in this world, some of the features of the game have also comes with him. This should be the reason why these very familiar word appear eventhough there's no such thing as dungeon in the cultivation world.

Instead, dungeon are just the term the System use for those ruins, seperate space or cultivation place of other cultivators. However, any of those terms mention above have one thing in common, they were protected by many means which includes formations, traps and, if there's, the beast that lives inside.

In fact, after thinking of those, it seems that it's natural to call it dungeon as a general term.

Feeling the stares he received, Cole just clear his throat and look outside. He didn't give an explanation. Instead, he chose to examine what he currently see.

Since he have [Heavenly Eyes], what he saw are different from the others. He don't know what the others see since the so called ruins are protected by very powerful concealing and defensive formation, but he could see what's inside the ruins. And he could see that's the inside was no different from a fairyland; it was full of lush herbs and it's scenery was almost perfect. Of course, what he could see are just those covered with his eyesight.

Silently, the [Ice Jade Ship] started to descend near at the very front of the formation.

Surprisingly, it could easily seen that there's someone or something that lives there temporarily. However, base on the expression of people of Cold Jade Palace, it seems that they knew about it. Probably, the one who temporarily live near the formation barrier comes from the same sect as them. But there's no one to be seen.

When all of the people have descended from the ship, it was only then a frown appear on the face of high ranking official from Cold Jade Palace. But that frown appear almost instantly. Instead, that mature woman face the others and said, "According to the estimation of our fellow sect sister, the formation of the ruins will get weaken not long from now. Make sure that your disciples are ready." Then she gave Cole a glance.

Immediately, Grand Elder Caira face Cole and the others with ten circular tokens.

"Different secret ruins have their own rules and restrictions. This ruins might teleport you to random location upon entry. If that happens, then this token can help you find one another." She said as she gave everyone one each.

The token was imprinted with the logo of Five Element Sect which is the image of five mountains of five basic elements.

Tracking Token [Sky-Rank] Affinity : ∅ Potential : ∅ Equipment Skills : Tracking, Vibrates Amplification

Tracking [Passive] : Produce a pulse that can be detected with other the same token. [Active] : Pour a spiritual energy towards the token which will give the definite location of other nearby Tracking Token holder.

Vibrates [Passive] The Tracking Token will vibrate when nearby token is nearby.

Amplification [Passive] Amplify the effect of both passive and active tracking pulse.

It seems that his worry about the random spot teleportation are in vain. However, when he thought of it for more, it was only normal that there's a equipments invented for this kind of situation, after all, this kind of activity are normal for cultivators. Although this little equipment won't help them appear in the same spot, at least, they could look for one another inside using this Tracking Token.

The Tracking Token has a string. And so, like a tassle, the others tied the Tracking Token anywhere in their body and no one puts it inside their spatial storage. Apparently, the Tracking Token won't have any effect if it's inside the storage.

Cole just copy the others and also tie it in his robe.

When he raise his head, the other sect have also gave their disciples their own unique tracking equipment.

Meanwhile, no one looks for the person that lives in the area. Even the people from Cold Jade Palace remain silent and didn't say anything about her.

Instead, everyone in the vicinity looks at their front.

The protection formation of the discovered ruins are very powerful. It could easily be seen that what's inside are really precious, after all, there's no sane cultivator who will use a high caliber formation just to protect a low value treasure.

Due to this powerful formation that other cultivators can't casually intrude the place the place.

However, there were some short period of time that any formation will enter a vulnerable state. This phenomenon are not really a big deal since they could just protect the formation for that short period of vulnerable time. But for the instances like the one in front of them, which don't have a current owner and practically abandon, that short period of vulnerable time are enough for powerful and eager cultivator to exploit and forcefully intrude.

And this is what exactly they were waiting for.

But if the owner of the place really don't want the others to intrude their private territory, there were many solution available. For instance, creating a double layer of barrier formation. But not to say the cost, since creating a formation are very costly specially if it was a very powerful one, this method are only recommended to those with long heritage, like sects, families or empires. This was because they are sure that their belongings could still be used by others.

But for many instances like private territory of one person, they usually don't use that method. This was usually intended so that their inheritance can be found and pass down to others.

No matter how powerful or influential a cultivator is, he/she can't still won't know if they will encounter a sudden death; of course, this was not applicable for the likes of cultivator that practice special arts like [Divination]. If they suddenly die, that small period of vulnerable time in their formation are the only hope of passing their inheritance. Of course, this was only for those hermit cultivators that didn't accept disciples 'cause if they had, that very disciple of him will receive his whole inheritance.

And usually, this short period of time happens periodically with pattern. This means that for the Cold Jade Palace to predict it with exact time, they use a very long periods of time to learn this. This was why the others agree to Cold Jade Palace's terms, after all, they use a considerable amount of time and effort, yet the others just need to explore the undiscovered ruins. That 30% cut of their harvest are just right.

Exactly one hour later, the scenery in front of them started to ripple. It was the indication that the formation are weakening.

The leader of Cold Jade Palace, who seems have a very high status in Cold Jade Palace, probably a Vice Sect Leader, raise her head, open her eyes and look at the rippling barrier in front of her. "Get ready," she said.

Many of the protectors nodded their head and they release a great momentum.

Suddenly, voice of Grand Elder Caira ring inside his head, "Make sure to charge immediately the moment the formation open." She said telepathically.

All the disciples including Cole nods their head and look at the small passage that appear in the formation.

The moment that dot size passage appear, all of protectors momentum reach the peak. Surprisingly, a runes cover the whole body of many protectors, including Grand Elder Caira and Pristine King Crane. And then, all of them pour their energy towards that small passage which immediately widen visible to naked eye. They are forcibly opening the small passage.

"Now!" The mature lady from Cold Jade Palace shouted. Instantly, the disciples from Cold Jade Palace enter the widened passage and others immediately followed.

However, while the protectors are busy on supporting the small passage and the disciples are hurrying to enter there, a strange presence appear at the scene.

Since Cole got sensitive to presence of others, he felt the owner of that presence the moment it appear.

And that stranger appear when it was Five Element Sect's disciples turn to enter the passage.

"What!" An elder from Cold Jade Palace exclaimed when she also felt the others presence.

The one who suddenly appear in the scene have the connection to Cold Jade Palace as she also have the same clothes like them. However, her appearance are very far from noble and clean like Cold Jade Palace. It looks like she comes from very hard battle. In addition, her eyes are pure white. It was apparent that there's something wrong with her.

Probably, this battered lady is the one who temporarily lives here to learn the pattern of formation.

The moment the battered lady appear, she immediately swung her sword towards the direction of them, attacking them with gust of very cold wind.

Seeing that, Cole immediately responded with breathing a fire copying Coal's skill using [Soul Mimicry].

But his efforts are futile. As if his fire breath are like a flickering flame in the middle of north pole, dying instantly the moment it appear. The gust of wind is very cold that his flame didn't even stand a chance! But this was understandable, after all, the others are the same level as protectors. Without using his superior equipment, he won't stand a chance.

And since the protectors are fully occupied with stabilizing the passage into the ruins, they can't help to block the attack.

Needless to say, all the disciple of Five Element Sect got hit by that gust of bone chilling wind, including a three beast of Holy Beast Mountain.

Fortunately, seven of them that comes from the Eastern Continent got protected using their live saving items and didn't receive any damage. Only Steel, Fiera and him receive quite a heavy but not life threatening damage.

But knowing that the ruins are graded as [Hell], this damage is very life threatening once they appear inside. They could only pray that they will be teleported to somewhat peaceful place.

That cold gust of wind also helps the other push inside the passage.

Instantly, Cole felt the unique sensation when teleporting. He also can't help but shiver with the bone biting cold. In fact, if he didn't know any better, he felt that his blood are near to get frozen.

It only takes a matter of seconds and he appear on very unfamiliar place.

He didn't bother to check the surrounding. Instead, he immediately sit on the ground and enter meditation. He knew that if he wants to live in this place, he have to solve this bone chilling cold first. In order to do that, he decided to just absorb the cold, after all, he also have the affinity with Ice.

Using his [Divine Sense], he could see that almost third of his body are frozen and operating at the very minimum. Not waiting any further, he instantly run [Dantian Genesis Method] and absorb the Ice-Energy. Fortunately, [Dantian Genesis Method] is very powerful and it wasn't before long and almost all the Ice-Energy attached to him enter the [Refining Sun]. That Ice-Energy that was almost impossible to thaw was refined very fast by the [Refining Sun].

Since that strike comes from a very powerful cultivator, probably at Mortal Monarch-Stage, the Ice-Energy contains a very potent energy. Surprisingly, it was enough to raise his progress by 1%.

Although that single percent sounds very little and almost negligible, but knowing him who have many cores and affinity, that single percent are very considerable.

One hour later, Cole sigh before he open his eyes. Although he quickly refine that Ice-Energy, it was probably not the same with others, after all, they don't have a very high caliber cultivation method like [Dantian Genesis]. Steel and Fiera, including the beast from Holy Beast Mountain are probably having a hard time with that cold.

He then remember the state of that lady from Cold Jade Palace... He can't help but ask this to Baldy.

"She was possess by a very powerful ghost." Baldy answered.

"What..?" He answered with flustered voice. Although he have yet to encounter a ghost in this world, but this entities are very scary for people that comes from Earth, and him is no exception.

"I'm sure that lady from Cold Jade Palace are possessed by a very powerful ghost. And knowing that this place is still on the territory of Lord Azure Dragon which is full of Yang-Energy, that ghost are probably specifically cultivated by a sect that uses yin creatures." Baldy pause, "You have to be careful Master. If I say so myself, there's probably other cultivators inside this ruins in addition to your groups. Most probably, those cultivators are Demonic Path cultivators."

!!!

If this is true, then he have to look for others as soon as possible!
