Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The reason why Bai Yunhua wanted to use the cave map in his hand to exchange a favor with Song Qingming was to pave the way for future generations.

Now seeing that his most concerned grandson Bai Jingyun has officially become Song Qingming's disciple, Bai Yunhua is completely relieved at this moment. Without hesitation, he directly handed the map he had drawn to Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not bother to be polite with him. He took the map and opened it to take a look. Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's so close to Qinghe County, but I haven't heard any news about it in these years. It's really strange."

Seeing Song Qingming was a little confused, Bai Yunhua quickly explained: "Senior, you don't know that the entrance here is very hidden. Even if ordinary cultivators are near the cave, it is difficult to find the entrance.

If I hadn't had the runes on the array plate to guide me, it would have been difficult for me to find the cave. You will know it when you get there."

Song Qingming was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Well, since the distance is not far, you can just accompany me today, so that I don't have to trouble you in the future.

Jingyun asked him to stay on the mountain for the time being. The technique he was practicing was similar to Yuan Fang's, so Yuan Fang could give him some pointers on his practice. "

"I am willing to listen to your instructions, Senior."

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to suddenly become interested and wanted to go to the cave immediately to take a look, Bai Yunhua quickly nodded in agreement.

Now that he has given this secret to Song Qingming, the things in the cave naturally have nothing to do with him. He has no objection to Song Qingming going there whenever he wants.

After talking to Bai Yunhua, Song Qingming came over and said a few words to Song Yuanfang, then took Bai Yunhua and left "Funiu Mountain".

To the southeast of Qinghe County, there is a river about thirty or forty feet wide, named Qinghe.

This river originates from the "Yunwu Mountain" hundreds of miles away, runs from east to west across the entire Qinghe County, then enters Jiangling County in the west and finally flows into the "Taiyue Lake" in the southwest of Wei State.

When "Qinghe County" was first established, it was directly named after the Qinghe River. All the cultivators in the entire "Qinghe County" are very familiar with this river, including Song Qingming who grew up here.

After leaving "Funiu Mountain" with Bai Yunhua, Song Qingming rode his flying boat southward. After traveling hundreds of miles, he soon arrived above Qinghe River.

Then Song Qingming, who was standing on top of the flying boat, picked up the map in his hand and took a look at it, and the speed of the flying boat under his feet slowly slowed down.

After confirming his location, Song Qingming controlled the flying boat to slowly fly upstream of Qinghe River. Soon he arrived at a location between two high mountains.

Because the two mountains here are steep and the river channel is much narrower than ordinary places, the water flow is also very turbulent and fast. Even standing in the air hundreds of feet high, Song Qingming can hear the sound of splashing water below.

After stopping the "Phantom Boat" on the spot, Song Qingming took another look at the map in his hand before turning around and asking, "Fellow Daoist Bai, is this the place?"

"Yes, the entrance to the cave is just below a reef in the water. Please follow me, senior."

After Bai Yunhua responded, he jumped directly from the flying boat, then flew towards the river on the flying sword, and in the blink of an eye he was above the water.

Afterwards, Bai Yunhua cast a spell and used his magic power to put a water-proof shield on himself, and sank directly to the bottom of the river.

Because the water flows rapidly and washes away the soil on the mountain walls on both sides all year round, the water in this section of Qinghe River is also relatively turbid.

Song Qingming, who also used the water-avoiding technique, found that his vision around him was very blurry after entering the water. It was not until he sank to the bottom of the river that he saw Bai Yunhua standing next to a reef in the distance.

When Song Qingming came towards him, Bai Yunhua moved a huge rock under the reef, pointed to a hole under the rock and said, "Senior Song, the entrance is right here.

When I first found this place, most of the cave entrance was already covered with sand and gravel. If I hadn't been sensitive to the formations and restrictions and noticed something was wrong below, I would have had a hard time finding this place."

Seeing a dark hole in front of him that could only accommodate one person, Song Qingming couldn't help but smiled and nodded:
"There is no spiritual energy leaking out of this place. It is indeed hidden enough. If you hadn't led the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see anything even if I passed by here."

Just as Bai Yunhua had said before, there were not many people living nearby, and the entrance to the cave was located in the turbid river water several feet deep, so it was indeed very hidden.

Even if a Jindan cultivator with a strong spiritual sense like Song Qingming passed by this place, he would not be able to realize that there were opportunities of ancient cultivators’ caves hidden underneath, not to mention the ordinary cultivators and mortals nearby.

This cave is hidden in such a secluded place. No wonder no one has discovered it in more than a thousand years since the establishment of Qinghe County.

But after all, so many years have passed, and even the most hidden places will always be found by someone. Even this cave hidden in the water had already been entered by someone before Bai Yunhua entered.

Following Bai Yunhua into the black cave below, they explored forward about ten feet. Suddenly, a suction force came from the front, causing the two to fall rapidly.

Seeing this sudden abnormal phenomenon, Song Qingming instinctively wanted to cast a spell to resist, but he heard Bai Yunhua's voice trying to stop him.

"Don't be nervous, senior. This is just a water barrier at the entrance of the cave. Follow the water flow and you will soon enter the cave."

After hearing Bai Yunhua's reminder, Song Qingming put down his hands that were casting the spell and followed the water flow down. After a while, the two of them passed through a layer of film and entered a very ancient hall.

This hall is located more than ten feet deep at the bottom of the river. There are prohibitions above it that isolate the water flow. Therefore, the hall is not eroded by the flowing water, but appears very dry.

Song Qingming, who had just entered the hall, hurriedly stood up and glanced around. He found that the place was empty except for some useless stones, and even the spiritual energy could not be sensed.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, Song Qingming cast a spell to release a night-light pearl to illuminate the surroundings, and then he asked Bai Yunhua beside him again: "Could this be the cave?"

"Yes, this is it. However, there are many powerful restrictions here. Senior Song should be a little more careful. When I first came here, I didn't know the situation and almost died in a restriction."

"Well! This kind of restriction set up by the ancient monks cannot be underestimated. We must be careful. Fellow Daoist Bai, you should lead the way and take me directly to the place you mentioned. We should not go to other places for the time being."

Bai Yunhua nodded slightly upon hearing this, then cast a spell to release a defensive magic weapon to protect himself, and carefully led Song Qingming slowly towards the depths of the hall.

Seeing such a cautious look, Song Qingming couldn't help but concentrate his attention and released his life-saving magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in advance.

This hall looked empty and there seemed to be nothing inside, but the space inside was indeed very large. Song Qingming followed Bai Yunhua and walked forward for several hundred feet before arriving at a high platform at the end.

After arriving here, Bai Yunhua stopped and pointed to the wall behind the platform and said, "Senior, there are several passages hidden behind this. One of them is where I found those magic weapon fragments, and it is also where the restriction is located.

However, there are very strong restrictions on this high platform, and it is difficult for cultivators like us to pass directly. Please wait for a moment, senior."

After saying that, Bai Yunhua slapped the storage bag on his waist and took out a second-level formation plate. He then cast a spell to send out five or six formation flags, set up a second-level magic formation, and summoned five or six golden-armored tigers formed by spiritual magic.

Bai Yunhua used the formation to summon a golden-armored tiger. Although it was completely formed by the gathering of invisible spiritual energy, it was able to fight against the enemy just as well as an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

After summoning these tigers, Bai Yunhua cast a spell and released several sealing talismans to stick on them, and then commanded one of the golden-armored tigers to jump directly onto the platform.

Just as the tiger landed, the four stone platforms surrounding the platform suddenly lit up with a green light, and then the light flew directly into the sky and gathered into a ball, turning into an armored giant holding a huge sword.

After this giant appeared, the aura on his body was no less than that of a Jindan cultivator. He raised the giant sword in his hand high and quickly slashed at the golden-armored tiger not far away.

Although there was still a distance of more than ten feet between the two, the giant with spiritual light actually released hundreds of sword lights with one sword, like a rain of swords, which directly shot the golden-armored tiger in front of him into a sieve, and soon turned into spiritual light and disappeared on the spot.

Just as the giant with spiritual light attacked the golden-armored tiger on the stage, Bai Yunhua below seized the opportunity and commanded the remaining golden-armored tigers to pounce directly on the stone platforms above the platform and emit spiritual light.

The giant of spiritual light had just dealt with the golden-armored tiger in front of him, and the platform that provided him with spiritual power was now being bitten tightly by the remaining tiger.

Under Bai Yunhua's control, the sealing talismans on these golden-armored tigers quickly fell onto the stone platform. Soon, the aura on the giant spiritual light became dim.

Although the giant spiritual light later noticed their actions and arrived in time to kill several tigers.

However, Bai Yunhua had already prepared a sealing talisman, and successfully integrated it into the stone platform with the help of the spiritual energy from the golden-armored tiger. Soon the talisman successfully sealed the source of the spiritual energy supply of the spiritual giant.

Song Qingming had often used Bai Yunhua's method of sealing and restricting to break the formation in the past. Seeing that the other party achieved the goal so smoothly, Song Qingming's eyes flashed with admiration.

It has to be said that Bai Yunhua's talent in formation is indeed outstanding. If he is given the opportunity to successfully form a pill, he will surely be able to advance to the third-level formation master like Song Qingming sooner or later.

"I have sealed the spiritual source of this restriction. We just need to wait for a while, and the spiritual power in this guy's body will naturally dissipate when it becomes difficult to maintain."

After hearing Bai Yunhua's explanation, Song Qingming, who was standing nearby, looked at the giant spirit not far away and shook his head calmly. "There's no need to be so troublesome! Fellow Daoist Bai, please stand further away and leave this to me."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he waved his hand and the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" surrounding him split into five parts and flew directly towards the location of the spiritual light giant from five different directions.

Seeing someone else invading the platform, the giant with spiritual light immediately sensed it and swung the giant sword in his hand, turning it into a rain of swords and shooting towards Song Qingming who was following closely.

However, Song Qingming did not care too much about the powerful attack from the spiritual giant. He directly summoned the "Xuanguan Armor" in his body to cover himself and easily blocked the rain of swords.

Just when the giant was about to launch another attack, a bronze mirror suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking its way.

Soon after, the other four bronze mirrors of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" also appeared around it, trapping it tightly inside. Then, several colorful spiritual lights shot out from the bronze mirrors, directly binding the spiritual light giant in a ball of light, making it difficult to move.

Through the brief fight between Bai Yunhua and the spiritual giant just now, Song Qingming has already seen through the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and knows that his strength is only about the fourth level of Jindan.

After Bai Yunhua sealed his spiritual source, the strength of the spiritual giant dropped significantly and he no longer posed any threat to Song Qingming.

It is for this reason that Song Qingming chose to attack him directly and did not want to waste too much time here.

Seeing Song Qingming directly attacking the giant of spiritual light, Bai Yunhua on the side wanted to speak up to persuade him.

But before he could say anything, he found that after only a few rounds of fighting, the giant of spiritual light on the high platform had been firmly suppressed by Song Qingming's natal magic weapon.

Seeing that this giant with spiritual light seemed to be no match for Song Qingming at all, Bai Yunhua quickly closed his mouth, suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and showed a bit of relief on his face.

After trapping the giant spiritual light, seeing that the opponent had no strength to fight back, Song Qingming directly increased his magic power and injected it into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror". He soon defeated it easily and turned it back into spiritual light that dissipated in mid-air.

Seeing that Song Qingming had dealt with the giant spirit, Bai Yunhua hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "I didn't know that you were so powerful. I just made a fool of myself. I hope you won't laugh at me."

Song Qingming heard this and gently waved his hand and said, "If you hadn't sealed the forbidden spiritual source just now, I think it wouldn't be so easy to kill it directly, Brother Bai, don't think too much.

However, this restriction is indeed very powerful. After so many years and having been broken many times, it is rare that it can still be so powerful.

I don’t know what kind of cultivation and magical powers the ancient monk who built this cave had, but he was able to set up such a powerful restriction. I was a little surprised. "

“What the senior said is correct. When I first came in, it was because of this that I always felt that this cave was somewhat extraordinary.

It's a pity that my luck is not good enough. I have come here to explore many times over the years, but apart from encountering these powerful restrictions, I have not found any opportunities. " After Bai Yunhua finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Personal opportunities are destined by heaven, and are not something that cultivators like us can force. This place is so dangerous, and Fellow Daoist Bai has entered it many times and is still safe and sound. This can be regarded as the care of heaven."

Hearing Song Qingming's words of comfort, Bai Yunhua smiled and nodded, saying: "Senior, what you said is quite right. Although I have been mediocre all my life, I have not achieved anything great.

But compared to other fellow monks who died early, I have been able to go through many dangers in my life, and it is indeed not easy to live safely until now."

After Bai Yunhua recovered his composure, he took Song Qingming to the wall behind the platform.

There is a very exquisite landscape mural painted on the wall, and there are many ancient runes marked in the painting. It is obviously not the work of modern monks.

I don’t know what materials the painter used at the time. After so many years, it is still so bright and shows no signs of fading.

"Senior Song, many of the runes on this wall are hidden passages, but there are no spiritual objects in them, and most of them have been taken by others.

After entering here that year, I never gave up and searched almost all the passages above, but still found nothing, so I started to think about this rune again.

I didn't expect that after so many years of research, I actually found a relatively special passage. The restrictions inside are still intact and seem to have not been destroyed by anyone.

It’s a pity that the restriction is so strong that I have tried my best over the years but still cannot get in. I don’t know if I will have the chance to see what’s inside in this lifetime.”

"Don't worry, Brother Bai. If we can get in successfully later and there are really good things inside, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. After all, without you, I would not have the chance to find this place."

"Haha! I have known Senior Song for so many years. It is precisely because I know that you are a kind person that I dare to entrust my family to you and tell you all the secrets in my heart.

I am already a dying person, even if I get a lot of spiritual objects and magic weapons, it won't change anything for me.

Senior, rest assured, since this cave has been given to you, I will never covet anything in it. I just want to take a look to make up for the regret in my heart."

When Bai Yunhua heard Song Qingming's promise to share some spiritual objects with him after entering, he shook his head repeatedly and directly rejected the other party's kindness. Then he began to cast a spell to search for runes on the wall.

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not say anything more. He looked at the other party calmly as he carefully searched for the special passage he mentioned.

Many of the ancient runes on this painting were the same as those Song Qingming had seen before. Bai Yunhua had studied them for many years and was already very familiar with them. It didn't take him much time to find the one he wanted to open.

As Bai Yunhua injected the magic power in his body into the runes, the entire mural on the wall soon lit up with a dazzling light.

The scroll painting on the wall began to change constantly under the illumination of the spiritual light, from mountains and rivers to rivers, lakes and seas, and then changed into a heavenly palace and fairyland in the clouds. All kinds of beautiful pictures flashed before the two people's eyes.

It was the first time that Song Qingming saw such a scene. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he secretly admired the person who could set up such an exquisite restriction.

"Senior Song, these runes will change positions every time you come in. I have written them down and placed them on the back of the map I gave you. If you come in next time, you can follow the notes above, which will be much more convenient."

Hearing Bai Yunhua's reminder, Song Qingming opened the drawing in his hand and quickly found the rune he mentioned, then nodded with a smile.

Fortunately, Bai Yunhua was brought along this time, otherwise it would take Song Qingming a lot of time to find the passage he wanted to enter among so many runes alone.

After Song Qingming put away the drawings, the scroll on the wall suddenly flashed with a brighter light again, and then a rotating pattern that looked like a teleportation portal appeared.

"Senior, the passage has been opened, let's go in first!"

After Bai Yunhua finished speaking, seeing that Song Qingming had no objection, he walked directly into the teleportation entrance and soon disappeared on the high platform of the hall.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately followed. The two of them quickly passed through the teleportation array and fell into an underground passage that was much smaller than the hall outside.

After arriving here, Bai Yunhua and Song Qingming walked forward along the passage for dozens of feet, and were soon blocked by a white stone door.

After taking a look at the stone door in front of the two of them, Song Qingming quickly realized that the restrictions on it had already been broken, and immediately asked:
"Did you break the restriction on this door?"

Bai Yunhua nodded and said, "Senior, you are right. I did remove this restriction, but the restriction on this door is not that strong, and I didn't spend much effort at that time.

However, in addition to the restrictions on the stone door, there is also a very powerful gale restriction behind the door, which prevented me from entering."

"Well! You open the stone door first, and I'll try to see how powerful this restriction is!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he moved the magic power in his hand and the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" automatically flew out of his body and protected him and Bai Yunhua.

Seeing this, Bai Yunhua walked forward and pushed open the stone door without any hesitation.

As the stone door was opened, a strong gust of wind blew towards them from the front. Even though Bai Yunhua, who was standing in front, had been prepared and used a protective light shield, he was still blown so hard that he could hardly stand.

Just as Bai Yunhua took out his magic weapon to prepare to resist, a bronze mirror appeared beside him first, blocking the fierce gale in front of him and allowing him to stabilize his body.

"This strong wind is indeed quite powerful. It is not something that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can survive. Fellow Daoist Bai, please stay here first. I will go forward and see if I can break this restriction."

Hearing Song Qingming's suggestion, Bai Yunhua quickly nodded in response, then removed a few formation flags, simply set up a defensive formation on the spot, and went in.

After Bai Yunhua had done all this, Song Qingming took back the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and protected it by his side, then walked forward carefully against the fierce gale.

The further he walked, the more Song Qingming realized that the power of the gale seemed to be gradually increasing. It was no longer something that an ordinary Jindan cultivator could directly withstand. He couldn't help but frown slightly. (End of this chapter)
