Mysterious Writing
Elder Wu, you...
Rong Jingyun let out a soft cry.
She clearly hadn't expected Song Wen to head towards the cliff.
Did he think he could evade the White Tiger's senses and enter the stone hall silently?
The other three also looked surprised.
Mu Yunxin said with a hint of disdain.
"He doesn't think that just because his escape technique is outstanding among Foundation Establishment cultivators, he can escape the White Tiger's pursuit, does he?"
Mu Yunxin and Xue Gu had witnessed Song Wen using the Thunder Escape Technique at the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall.
She believed that Song Wen's speed surpassed that of most Foundation Establishment Peak Stage cultivators.
However, when facing a White Tiger at the Golden Core stage, especially White Tiger with wings on its back, Song Wen's speed was clearly insufficient.
But when she saw Song Wen climb the cliff without hesitation, Mu Yunxin's resolve began to waver again.
"Could he really have a way to avoid the White Tiger and enter the stone hall?"
Just as the four were filled with doubt and surprise, Song Wen had already reached the edge of the cliff top.
Song Wen leaned his head out of the cliff and surveyed the scene before him.
The first thing that catches the eye is a wide square, about two miles long and wide, covered with ice and snow.
In front of the square stands an ancient hall.
The grand hall, weathered by time, has lost its magnificence, leaving only desolation and antiquity.
The stone door to the main hall was ajar, so the scene inside could not be seen.
Song Wen released a Sacred Beetle Gu, which quietly approached the main hall.
Before long, the Sacred Beetle Gu returned with a message:
Behind the door of the main hall, there was indeed a two-winged White Tiger, fast asleep.
Song Wen looked up and gazed at the back of the stone hall.
That's the summit of a high mountain.
The location of the White Tiger's lair.
As everyone knows, in the Azure Tide Secret Realm, wherever Demon Beast dwell, there are often treasures.
The more powerful the Demon Beast, the more precious and rare the treasures near its lair.
Song Wen left behind a Sacred Beetle Gu, hiding it in the snow in the square to monitor the White Tiger.
He then leaped off the cliff, flashing past Rong Jingyun and the other three not far away, heading towards the foot of the mountain.
Rong Jingyun seemed somewhat worried about Song Wen's departure.
Xue Gu and Jie Ku, however, did not take it too seriously.
Mu Yunxin watched Song Wen's departing figure, lost in thought, a subtle smile playing on her lips.
After walking for two miles, Song Wen slipped under a protruding rock.
Using the rocks, he avoided the view of the four people above.
Then, he began to move laterally, going around to the other side of the mountain.
He turned and headed towards the mountaintop.
Climbing to the top of the mountain from here allows you to avoid the stone palace.
Soon, Song Wen arrived at the summit of the mountain.
Atop the mountain, a fierce wind howled.
Clouds and mist mingled with snowflakes, drifting down all around.
Song Wen looked around the mountaintop but found no place that resembled a nest, nor any spiritual herbs or treasures.
He didn't even find a single cave.
Song Wen suddenly came to his senses.
The idea that White Tiger occupies the mountain peak has always been just speculation.
The White Tiger advanced to the Golden Core stage approximately a hundred years ago.
The cultivators who entered the secret realm twice before only saw the White Tiger emerge from the clouds at the mountain peak when it appeared, and disappear into the clouds at the mountain peak when White Tiger left.
Gradually, the saying arose that the White Tiger resides on the mountaintop.
In fact, no one has ever actually seen the White Tiger's lair.
Song Wen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Had all his efforts been in vain?
If the White Tiger's lair isn't on the mountaintop, then where is it?
Song Wen looked up at the clouds and mist being swirled by the wind.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Song Wen's mind.
The White Tiger roams among the clouds and mist atop the mountain.
Could it be that its lair is hidden in the clouds?
With a thought, Song Wen sent out five Sacred Beetle Gu.
Watching the Gu Worm disappear into the mist above, Song Wen suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He laughed at his own idea, finding it utterly absurd; what creature could build its nest in the sky?
Unless, atop this mountain, there exists a sky city that has never been discovered.
However, by this time, the Sacred Beetle Gu had already flown out of Song Wen's perception range, and it was too late for Song Wen to withdraw the order. He could only wait for the Sacred Beetle Gu to finish surveying the sky and return on its own.
About fifteen minutes later.
One of the Sacred Beetle Gu flew back, but the message it brought was that the other Sacred Beetle Gu had disappeared.
Song Wen wanted to know how it had disappeared, but the lowly intelligent Sacred Beetle Gu couldn't express it clearly.
"Could there truly be a mysterious place hidden within these clouds and mist?"
Song Wen thought to himself.
He had the Sacred Beetle Gu lead the way to the place where the other Sacred Beetle Gu had disappeared.
The higher we flew, the thicker the clouds and fog became.
It was as if the edge of this secret realm was just an endless expanse of clouds and mist.
Soon, Song Wen arrived at a height of about ten miles above the mountaintop.
The Sacred Beetle Gu suddenly stopped.
It gestured to Song Wen that if he took one more step forward, he would reach the spot where the other Sacred Beetle Gu had disappeared.
But the place it pointed to had nothing but white mist and fog.
Whether viewed visually or perceived Divine Sense, it was no different from any other place around it.
In his heart, Song Wen tried to contact other Sacred Beetle Gu.
However, there was no response.
He released a total of five Sacred Beetle Gu, and one returned.
Three of them are scouting somewhere, too far away to be contacted.
The one that disappeared is also unreachable for some unknown reason.
However, the spiritual connection between Song Wen and the Gu Worm still exists, indicating that the Gu Worm is still alive.
After pondering for a moment, Song Wen decided to take the risk.
If this place is indeed the White Tiger's lair, since the White Tiger can freely enter and exit, then he can naturally do the same.
He took two steps forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
This made the Sacred Beetle Gu on the side become impatient.
After flying around aimlessly for a while, it also plunged into the clouds where Song Wen had disappeared.
Song Wen felt a lightness in his body and found himself in a stone house.
The vanished Sacred Beetle Gu is now frantically scurrying around the stone house, seemingly unable to find its way out and quite anxious.
Upon seeing Song Wen arrive, it hurriedly flew to Song Wen's side.
At this moment, the Sacred Beetle Gu that had led the way also appeared beside Song Wen.
Song Wen began to carefully examine the stone house.
The stone house is small, no more than ten meters long and wide, and can be seen through at a glance.
In the western corner of the stone house, some white animal fur was scattered, which must have fallen from the Twin-Winged White Tiger.
This is enough to prove that this place is the White Tiger's lair.
In the center of the stone house, there is a miniature Teleportation Array, which should be the method to leave the stone house.
Outside the Teleportation Array's range, the walls and ground were covered with claw marks.
It looks like the marks left by that White Tiger when it was sharpening its claws.
To Song Wen's disappointment, the stone house was empty, without a single item, let alone any treasures.
Just when Song Wen thought he had made a wasted trip, he noticed some writing on the south wall.
However, the claw marks from the White Tiger were so severe that only a few characters could be discerned.
The title of this text has six characters, but only the second, third, and sixth characters are recognizable.
These three characters are nourishment, immortality and blood.
*Nourishing Immortals** Blood!
