Start with the fisherman

Kuku...

Pushing open the stone door easily, the stone hall was still empty, with only the murals on the surrounding walls that had been blurred by the erosion of time.

There is also a huge stone platform in the center of the stone hall, but this stone platform is not empty. Instead, a spirit bead is suspended on it, emitting a soft light, shrouding everything in hazy light and shadow.

But this doesn't look like a real thing, it looks more like an illusion.

The moment he saw the spiritual bead, Cao Ze felt dizzy. In an instant, everything changed and he found himself in a dark underground passage.

Now he finally understood how Seventh Senior Sister disappeared.

But he did not find any trace of Seventh Senior Sister here.

He took out the positioning device and found that the light spot representing the Seventh Senior Sister was very close. However, she was separated by many passages and could not get there immediately.

Without hesitation, Cao Ze walked towards the front of the passage.

However, just after he took a step forward, a black shadow shot out from the darkness ahead like an arrow.

Cao Ze did not make any movement. The shadow of the big cauldron appeared, and he did not use the Heaven-Flipping Seal. The black shadow could no longer move forward, but instead retreated as Cao Ze moved forward.

Even Cao Ze's forward speed could not be hindered in the slightest.

At this time, Cao Ze also saw the true face of the black shadow. It was a small snake about a foot long. Its body was slender and covered with dark purple scales. Its eyes flashed with a strange red light and it spewed purple poisonous mist from its mouth.

It turned out to be the Abyss Demon Serpent!
Cao Ze was a little surprised. Although the Abyss Demon Snake was only a fifth-level monster, the demonic poison in its venom sac was an excellent material for alchemy, as Fifth Senior Sister had mentioned before.

Bang!
At this moment, the demon snake suddenly exploded, bringing up a large cloud of purple smoke.

shhhhhh...

As if it was a signal to attack, the next moment a vast black shadow came from the front, pounced on Cao Ze like raindrops, and finally hit Cao Ze's protective power of heaven and earth, and burst into balls of purple mist.

Soon, the entire passage was filled with this purple mist. The originally dark passage became even darker.

However, all this did not bring any hindrance to Cao Ze. After moving forward at full speed for about a quarter of an hour, Cao Ze's eyes suddenly became clear and he had arrived at a cave.

The abyss snake disappeared, and all the attacks disappeared, just like walking into a safe haven from the pouring rain.

Of course, this level of heavy rain was not a big deal to Cao Ze.

After taking a rough look at the cave, taking out the positioning tool and determining the location, Cao Ze walked into the next passage without any rest.

hissing...

As soon as he entered the passage, Cao Ze was attacked again.

This time, it was a fist-sized spider, which Cao Ze had never seen before.

But it is still a fifth-level monster, just much stronger than the Abyss Demon Snake.

This spider is covered with black hairs, which seem to absorb light, making the already dark passage even darker.

It can even blind Cao Ze's consciousness.

Unfortunately, they were still too weak and could not stop Cao Ze from moving forward.

In the core layer of the Dongtian Secret Realm, Cao Ze was moving forward quickly.

Ye Shijie, who had made the fastest progress, had already arrived at the sixth cave, and there were only four passages left in front of him.

After resting for another quarter of an hour, he randomly chose a passage and walked in.

In the cave in the middle of this core area, at the very center is a stone platform with an ancient shape.

If Cao Ze were here, he would find that this is almost exactly the same as the stone platform in the stone hall.

But the stone platform here has a more ancient and vicissitudes of life feeling, as if it has experienced eternity, and flowing on it is the fragrance accumulated over the long years.

On the stone platform, there is also a transparent bead the size of a ping-pong ball suspended.

The beads are deep blue-purple in color, dotted with stars, like a miniature Milky Way in the sky, and seem to contain the mysteries of the entire universe.

The surface of the beads flows with ever-changing runes and star patterns, as if recording endless secrets of time and space. When exposed to light, it emits a soft and mysterious glow, giving people a solemn and sacred feeling.

Every time the bead vibrates slightly, the entire cave will resonate with it, as if breathing with it.

Suddenly, the beads that were originally vibrating slowly suddenly jumped violently, causing the entire secret cave to tremble violently.

……

In the sky outside the secret realm of the cave, there was a table about a meter long placed on a white platform that looked like it was supported by four real dragons.

On both sides of the desk sat two old men with sage-like looks. One of them was wearing an emerald green gown with a towering tree embroidered on it.

One of them was wearing a turquoise long gown with a huge jade-like stone embroidered on it.

It is the Dharmakaya realm ancestor of Shenmu Peak and Xuanyu Peak.

For ordinary disciples of Xuanbao Pavilion, the secret realm of the cave is already a tremendous opportunity. It may give them a chance to soar to the sky, or it may be rare treasures from the outside world.

What they don’t know is that for the real top masters of Xuanbao Pavilion, the secret realm of the cave is also extremely precious.

In other words, any cave is the most precious treasure in this world, but not everyone can take out the treasure from it.

Unfortunately, the cave heaven is not a complete world. If a strong person in the Dharmakaya realm forcibly enters, the cave heaven will only burst in the end, and be annihilated together with the cave heaven and earth.

Depending on the level of the cave, the strongest person it can accommodate is also different.

The secret cave of Xuanbao Pavilion can only accommodate warriors at the peak of the Dragon Blood Realm.

Therefore, although the secret realm of the cave seems to be undefended, in fact, every time it is opened, there will be a strong person in the Dharmakaya realm guarding it to prevent disciples other than the Xuanbao Pavilion from entering.

Of course, it may not mean that there is no intention to wait.

In this way, if a disciple is lucky enough to obtain the treasure of the cave, they will be able to get the upper hand.

No matter whether it is cheating or robbing, at their level, as long as it is a good thing that can improve their cultivation, the means are no longer so important.

Of course, since the secret realm of the cave was opened so many times, no one has ever obtained the legendary treasure.

Gradually, people stopped being keen on comparison and it became a chore.

This time, it is the turn of Xuanyu Peak and Shenmu Peak.

At this time, the two of them were drinking tea leisurely in the sky, discussing the talented disciples of Xuanbao Pavilion in recent years. Fortunately, the cave secret realm was only open for half a month each time, so it was not that difficult to endure.

"Those guys from Longyin Peak seem to have some connection with the Yuwen family. The leader is quite powerful. If they were to meet the two guys from Qingming Peak, I'm afraid..."

Lin Tingzhang, the Grand Elder of Shenmu Peak, mentioned it casually, then picked up the teacup and looked at the scenery in the distance, looking as if he didn't want to know the answer.

Xuan Zhiming chuckled, "Qingming Peak has been so domineering over the years that it actually offended the Yuwen family for a little guy in the Jiaoxue realm. My Xuanbao Pavilion is a big family with a lot of wealth, and it's not like this to be a loser."

So he just said directly, "It just so happens that the Yuwen family has their own way, so let them solve it themselves. This will not only calm the Yuwen family's anger, but also have nothing to do with us. No matter how overbearing Li Changji is, we can't be blamed."

Lin Tingzhang shook his head. If something really happened, with Li Changji's personality, he would not care so much, but this had nothing to do with him, so he stopped talking and continued to discuss the matters of the secret realm of the cave.

At this moment, the valley below suddenly trembled violently, and an astonishing aura erupted. This aura surged like a huge wave, sweeping across the entire mountain range in the blink of an eye. It was majestic, as if a giant dragon that had been sleeping for a long time was slowly waking up, exuding a majestic and powerful aura. Boom, boom, boom...

A sound like a heartbeat echoes in the valley. This is the rhythm of the cave world!
The two Dharmakaya realm masters who were originally sitting in the clouds had already stood up and looked towards the direction of the valley, with mixed expressions of surprise and joy on their faces. The secret realm of the cave had been opened many times, and they had not held any hope. Unexpectedly, it would be opened today!

The secret realm of the cave has awakened!

It is finally going to show the world its true treasure!

dong dong dong...

After the initial outburst, the heartbeat in the valley began to calm down.

The two Dharmakaya realm masters also sat back in their chairs again, but fell silent.

The expressions of the two men kept changing as they looked into the valley, as if they were already planning how to fight for the real treasure after the secret realm of the cave was closed.

After a long time, Lin Tingzhang sighed and came back from the abyss of desire.

Although the secret realm of the cave has awakened, it is hard to say whether they can get its real treasure. It is possible that they are just happy for nothing.

"I wonder who activated the secret realm of the cave?"

Xuan Zhiming also came back to his senses.

After all, the two of them are warriors in the Dharmakaya realm and have seen countless treasures over the past few hundred years. It’s just that the thing in the secret realm of the cave is too tempting. It may even make them take a step further, forcing them to be attracted by it and give rise to greed.

But they quickly restrained this greed, or rather, temporarily buried it deep in their hearts.

"There are only a few of them!"

Several figures suddenly appeared in Lin Tingzhang's mind, and finally the rest of the figures disappeared, leaving only one figure, "I'm afraid it can only be that little guy Ye Shijie."

As warriors in the Dharmakaya realm, they no longer pay much attention to the affairs of the Xuanbao Pavilion, but they still know something about the top ten on the Tianjiao list. They recognize Ye Shijie's strength, and they even believe that if nothing unexpected happens, Ye Shijie has a hope of breaking through to the Dharmakaya realm.

Of course, that might take decades or even hundreds of years to hone.

"That may not be the case. Opportunities are not absolutely related to cultivation. Maybe your disciple Lin Zhantian also has a chance."

Xuan Zhiming shook his head and looked at Lin Tingzhang, but he was thinking in his mind, if Lin Zhantian really got the ultimate treasure, how could he get a share from old man Lin.

After all, Lin Zhantian is also ranked seventh on the list of geniuses. As he said, he may have a chance to win the ultimate treasure.

It's hard to explain something like chance.

"Brother Zhiming is too modest."

Lin Tingzhang immediately understood what the other party meant, and even changed his way of addressing him, "Xuan Zha is also a good kid, and he also has the hope of getting the treasure."

The two of them instantly understood each other and formed an alliance.

Although it was not stated explicitly, they all knew that it was unlikely that their own disciples who entered the secret realm of the cave this time would be able to obtain that thing. If it was obtained by disciples from other peaks, they would have no chance of getting the thing unless they formed an alliance. Otherwise, it would only be a case of the fisherman gaining while the snipe and the clam fight.

"That kid from the Yuwen family has hidden a lot of things, he may not be worse than Ye Shijie."

Xuan Zhiming smiled.

Yu Wenxu thought his disguise was perfect, but in the eyes of a master in the Dharmakaya realm, it was full of loopholes. He didn't even know that he had been exposed long ago.

"Forged an identity to join Xuanbao Pavilion, with evil intentions. Even if we kill him on the spot, the Yuwen family can't say anything."

Lin Tingzhang's face turned cold, and the majesty of a martial artist in the Dharmakaya realm was revealed in an instant. Under the Dharmakaya realm, there were only plants and trees.

Xuan Zhiming certainly understood what the other party meant. He nodded and was very satisfied.

If Ye Shijie had taken the treasure, due to their status and the old man in Xinghui Peak, they could only appeal to his emotions and reason with him, and could not take it by force. But if the kid from the Yuwen family really took the treasure of the Dongtian Secret Realm, it would be natural for them to kill people and take the treasure.

As for offending the Yuwen family, it’s just the Yuwen family, so why should they be afraid?

"If it's someone from Qingming Peak...what should we do?"

Xuan Zhiming paused for a moment and suddenly spoke again.

After all, Qin Yaoguang is second on the Tianjiao list, and the gap between her and Ye Shijie is not that big. No one knows what progress she has made recently.

Needless to say, he had an attitude towards Qingming Peak, but there was no hatred between Shenmu Peak and Qingming Peak, so he needed to confirm it.

Lin Tingzhang chuckled, "Qin Yaoguang is indeed a good girl, but it is a bit unrealistic to want to seize the treasure with a burden."

"What if?" Xuan Zhiming pressed on.

"Of course I'll leave it to Brother Zhiming to deal with. I'm a little tired, so it's reasonable for me to leave first."

Lin Tingzhang retreated in order to advance.

After hearing this, Xuan Zhiming said no more.

If it is really the kid from Qingming Peak who got the treasure, don't blame him for being ruthless and settling all the new and old grudges together.

As for that old immortal Lin Tingzhang, even at this critical juncture, he still doesn't want to offend Qingming Peak. He will take the benefits and let him do all the offending things. What a good plan!

……

After chopping off the Flame Spirit Dragon Lizard's head with one blow, Cao Ze put away his Ape God Transformation, changed his clothes, picked up the Flame Spirit Dragon Lizard's body, and walked into the cave in front, leaving behind the passage that was devastated by battle and fire.

Although this Flame Spirit Dragon Lizard was only a seventh-level monster, it was much more difficult to deal with than the Phantom Wind Butterfly King. He was even forced to use the Ape God Transformation to deal with it.

After all, he couldn't exert his full strength in this underground space, and the power of thunder was greatly weakened.

Along the way, there were Abyss Demon Snakes, Shadow Demon Spiders, Crystal Stone Worms... until the Flame Spirit Dragon Lizard in front of him, from level five to level seven. Cao Ze didn't know how many monsters he had killed. At least, it was more than he had ever seen in his life.

This was the eighth cave he had entered!

In the center of the cave, there is a circular platform about three feet high and one foot square. A ball of liquid the size of a longan is suspended on the platform.

Is it a reward for successfully passing a level?

Cao Ze complained in his heart, walked to the stone platform and looked at the liquid carefully.

The liquid is clear and transparent, emitting a faint blue light, as if it can penetrate deep into the soul.

Soul Abyss Spirit Liquid!

Cao Ze was overjoyed.

The Soul Abyss Spirit Liquid has an excellent repairing effect on the damaged soul. It can not only quickly restore the power of the soul, but also enhance the resilience and stability of the soul.

The eldest senior brother's soul was damaged back then, so he stayed on Qingming Peak for so many years and didn't dare to go out too far. Otherwise, if his old illness relapsed and he encountered any enemy again, it would be very dangerous.

Now that we have the Soul Abyss Spirit Liquid, perhaps the eldest brother can recover sooner.

After putting away the Soul Abyss Spirit Liquid, Cao Ze continued to look around. He found that except for the passage they came from, there was only one way left in this cave.

In this case, Cao Ze did not hesitate too much and walked into the passage. (End of this chapter)
