Chapter 285 Descendants of the Ancient Gods, True and False Caves
This time, Yang Che finally successfully found the grotto.
Everything is exactly the same as before, almost unchanged.
Deep inside the spacious natural grotto, you can still hear the sound of gurgling water.
The 'Night Pearl' on the top of the grotto is still emitting gleaming white light, illuminating the grotto very brightly.
The nursery built with rubble, which occupies half of the grotto, has been abandoned for countless years.
The stone tables, stone benches and the stone bed in the other half of the grotto have not suffered any damage and are exactly the same as before.
After Tianxie Ziyin's soul-divided consciousness carefully explored the cave, he said:
"Please tell me all the details after you fell into this grotto."
Yang Che didn't hesitate at all. On that thunderstorm day that year, he slipped and hit a rock to avoid the mountain rain. He saw a dark cave entrance, thought he could take shelter from the rain, so he climbed in and started talking.
A very detailed narration, even the process of the remnant soul living in the Nine-leaf Moyang Fruit trying to seize her, but being inexplicably devoured by her, was told to Tianxie Ziyin without any concealment.
After Tianxie Ziyin finished listening, she closed her eyes silently, seemingly lost in thought.
Yang Che naturally did not dare to disturb him, but he also used his spiritual consciousness to explore the cave one by one with great care.
He vaguely noticed that, like the invisible barrier that existed in Wanglong Mountain, there was something strange about this grotto.
Although he could vaguely detect it, Yang Che could only stare and sigh in confusion if he wanted to find out the specific strangeness.
After a full two-quarters of an hour, Tianxie Ziyin suddenly opened her eyes.
She didn't say anything and walked directly to the stone bed.
There is an open secret compartment on the stone bed.
This secret grid was only revealed after Yang Che accidentally touched the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone bed and the skeleton turned into fly ash.
His Flying Fire Needle and Taixuan Hidden Light Formation were obtained in this dark grid.
At this time, Yang Che suddenly saw Tianxie Ziyin making a secret with one hand and hitting it directly on the stone bed.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
The stone bed began to collapse in response.
Soon, an incredible scene appeared in front of me.
Yang Che saw that the stone bed collapsed completely, and then a dark square entrance appeared.
Yang Che was stunned.
It turns out that there is another mystery hidden under this stone bed?
Tianxie Ziyin did not go down rashly, but observed the square entrance for a long time, and then called Yang Che to enter the dark entrance together.
Yang Che followed Ziyin closely. After going down from the square entrance, he realized that there was another cave inside?
In this cave, close to the stone wall, there are many storage bags placed on the eye-catching long jade table.
In the middle, there are many jade slips and scrolls placed on rows of wooden shelves.
On one side of the wooden shelf, there are a dozen small jade boxes suspended and wrapped in strange light.
At this time, Tianxie Ziyin suddenly said: "This is the real cave. And the grotto outside is actually a fake cave."
"Fake cave?"
Yang Che was surprised, but he quickly understood what Ziyin meant.
He saw Ziyin inspecting the storage bags and jade slips one by one.
"Yang Che, the follow-up technique of "Heaven and Earth Chaos Art" has been found."
Tianxie Ziyin said in surprise, but soon she was surprised again: "Huh? Still incomplete?"
She looked solemn and continued to confirm.
"It is true that it is still incomplete. But with these two subsequent exercises, there is hope for you to condense the Nascent Soul."
Tianxie Ziyin said, throwing a jade slip to Yang Che.
Yang Che took it and scanned it with his consciousness, with a mixed look on his face.
"Ziyin, what is going on here? Can you see it?"
Yang Che finally couldn't restrain the doubts in his heart and asked.
Tianxie Ziyin said: "Although I can't guarantee that my guess is completely correct, it should be roughly the same."
Yang Che said nothing and waited quietly for Ziyin's next words.
After Tianxie Ziyin thought for a moment, he continued: "If I guess correctly, the owner of this cave is most likely a descendant of the ancient god."
"Descendant of the Ancient God?"
Yang Che looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
"That's right. The Art of Chaos of Heaven and Earth is the technique that the master of this cave really practices. For some unknown reason, this person's physical body was destroyed, and the remaining soul had to abandon the original destroyed physical body and live in the Nine-leaf Moyang Fruit. Trying to swallow the soul of the monk who entered this cave and seize his body, hoping to resurrect him."
"Judging from the real cave and the jade slips left behind, this person should have a very high level of cultivation."
"I can roughly infer and restore this person's experience. As a descendant of the ancient gods, he has the blood of the ancient gods. Perhaps he came to Wanglong Mountain to open a cave and heal his injuries after being seriously injured. Or maybe it was Wanglong Mountain himself. There is something precious that attracts this person, so he came to Wanglong Mountain."
"After arriving at Wanglong Mountain, I found that my body was severely damaged beyond repair, so I set up a hidden barrier covering almost the entire Wanglong Mountain. This barrier is so clever that the 'fake cave', which is the grotto above, can only be repaired. It can only be discovered and entered if you are below the foundation building stage. The purpose of this is naturally to facilitate future possessions. People who have reached the foundation building stage and above will not be able to find this cave at all. "
"In order for the plan to seize the body to go smoothly, this person randomly placed some Qi refining period exercises and elixirs in the fake cave above. Whenever someone who is not an immortal cultivator comes here, this person will find ways to let them practice, and then wait for an opportunity to seize the body. Abandon."
"But perhaps too much time has passed. This person's body has been completely eroded by the years, and he has to live in the Nine-leaf Moyang Fruit. However, after all, the Nine-leaf Moyang Fruit is not a strange tree like the soul-nurturing tree, but the soul that lives in it. It will weaken day by day, until by the time you enter here, this person's soul is actually extremely weak."
"Yang Che, you have the qualifications of Mutated Darkness and Thunder Twin Immortal Roots, and your soul should be inherently strong. The reason why your consciousness and soul have always been weak is actually because of the battle between you and this person. , the origin of your soul has been damaged by devouring each other.”
"The soul origin of the Yuan Shen is very strange. After swallowing it, it can only absorb a very small amount of the soul origin and use it for itself. Other people's memories must not be touched. Once touched, without enough cultivation, it can easily become Dementia or a descent into endless madness.”
"So this monk should have been waiting for many people in the cave outside and tested many people. But he wanted to meet an ideal person to seize the body, so when you entered this place, he should have found you. Due to the special nature of the root, I ask you to practice "Purple Yuan Jue" first.
This "Purple Yuan Jue" is the top immortal cultivation technique in Qi refining. It has its own special characteristics. If you practice it to the first level, it will make it easier for the person to seize the body. "
Tianxie Ziyin stopped when she said this.
All of this is just a rough guess she made based on what Yang Che said and the situation in the cave. Of course, some details are not completely correct, but she thinks that is generally the case.
When Yang Che heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Then why did this person take my body and be swallowed by me instead? And I, as a mutated dark thunder double immortal root, can practice ice arrows and fireballs? "
Yang Che looked at Tianxie Ziyin's increasingly transparent soul-divided body and knew that she couldn't hold on much longer, so he immediately asked the two questions he most wanted to know the answers to.
