An easy success

"Alright! I promise you, Senior Brother," Zhu Yin finally said, making up her mind.

Yuan Qing's face lit up with joy. "We can't stay here any longer. Let's get started."

After exchanging a few words, Yuan Qing, spear in hand, charged towards the demonic vines below.

He drew the attention of the demonic vines ahead, while Zhu Yin followed behind him, a ghostly blue flame appearing in her palm.

The flames were completely unaffected by the seawater, and continued to flicker even at the bottom of the deep sea.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Zhu Yin Yin-Baleful Corpse Flame into a streak of fire, like a dark blue meteor, sweeping towards the roots of the Demon Vine.

A magical vine suddenly shot out from below, like a soaring Flood Dragon, and coiled towards the fire line.

The moment the fire line came into contact with the demonic vine, it burst into a dazzling, ghostly blue flame.

Countless sparks flew, then went out into the dark, sunless depths of the sea.

Although the demonic vine successfully blocked the fire, it was also tainted by the Yin-Baleful Corpse Flame.

The eerie blue flames quickly ignited and then spread along the vines towards their roots.

The vines danced wildly in the seawater, trying to extinguish the Yin-Baleful Corpse Flame. However, the Yin-Baleful Corpse Flame was like a festering sore, impossible to put out.

The demonic vines covered in flames rapidly carbonized and peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The demonic vine trembled slightly, then suddenly snapped, breaking off the burning section of the vine on its own.

"Junior sister, continue! Let's see how many vines it uses to cut off its limbs to survive!" Yuan Qing shouted excitedly.

Song Wen and Si Xi stood above, watching Yuan Qing and Zhu Yin battle the Deepsea Demon Vine.

Song Wen realized that his previous guess was wrong.

Yuan Qing did not obtain the Yin-attribute spiritual fire.

The person who possesses the Yin-attribute spiritual fire is Zhu Yin.

This is also why Yuan Qing, risking the exposure of his secret, agreed to explore the Rebirth Valley with Zhu Yin.

Without Zhu Yin, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the demonic vines, and naturally, he wouldn't have had the chance to enter the ruins.

At this moment, Si Xi suddenly spoke up, interrupting Song Wen's thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist, these are the corpses of the two Nethersea Ghost Hound slain by the Heavenly Net Ghostfire Formation. According to the agreement between you and Yuan Qing, these are your spoils of war."

When he said "Fellow Daoist Yuan Qing and your agreement," his tone became noticeably more forceful.

As he spoke, he tossed a Storage Bag to Song Wen.

Upon hearing this, Song Wen instantly understood what the other person meant.

The contents of the Storage Bag are probably intended to deal with Zhu Yin.

Song Wen took the Storage Bag, opened it, and as he expected, Storage Bag was a Formation Plate and a Jade Slip.

He discreetly retrieved the Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense.

The Jade Slip records the activation method of the Three-Origin Demon-Sealing Formation. This formation has three Formation Plates, one main and two auxiliary.

According to the Jade Slip, what Song Wen needed to do was very simple: just stand in the right position and activate the Formation Plate.

Other matters Si Xi, who controls the main Formation Plate.

After nearly fifteen minutes of fighting, the demonic vine was ultimately no match for the Yin-Baleful Corpse Flame and was burned to ashes, with only its roots embedded in the rock remaining.

After the magic vine was burned, a hole about the height of a person was revealed next to the rock where it was rooted, an opening that had originally been hidden by the vine.

Zhu Yin seemed to have exhausted her Law Power, her face appearing somewhat pale. After taking a pill to replenish her Law Power, she pointed to the Cave and asked a question she already knew the answer to.

"There seems to be an entrance there?"

Yuan Qing smiled. He had also consumed a lot of his Law Power. After taking the pill, he flew straight to the side of the Cave.

Zhu Yin, Song Wen, and Si Xi also followed.

"It seems someone deliberately planted this demonic vine here to guard this entrance. Could there be some secret inside this cave?" Zhu Yin asked.

Yuan Qing's eyes were burning with determination. "Go in and take a look, and you'll understand."

After saying that, he rushed into the Cave first.

Zhu Yin followed without hesitation.

Si Xi glanced at Song Wen beside her and asked.

"Extreme Yin, aren't you going in?"

Song Wen said, "I'll remove the rootstock of this demonic vine first, then I'll enter the Cave."

"Alright, then you'd better hurry up and not delay the important business."

Si Xi was reminding Song Wen not to delay dealing with Zhu Yin.

He glanced at Song Wen with some displeasure, then turned and entered the Cave.

Si Xi was dissatisfied with Song Wen because Song Wen clearly had a chance to leave, but inexplicably returned, forcing him to take action against Zhu Yin.

After the three left, Song Wen used his Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes to scan the vicinity of the Demon Vine's roots and found no trace of the Five-Colored Gold, except for the Demon Vine's root stump and rocks.

But Song Wen did not leave. He took out the Black Frost Blade and began to cut the rock.

Soon, the twisted and coiled demonic vine roots were removed and casually tossed into Song Wen's storage ring.

A huge crater appeared on the cliff.

Song Wen arrived at the bottom of the stone and once again used his Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes.

This time, he finally discovered traces of the Five-Colored Gold.

Song Wen only pulled out the root of the demonic vine; a large number of roots had already penetrated deep into the rock.

In the direction of one of the main roots, about ten feet thick beneath a layer of rock, there was a unique spiritual energy fluctuation of the Five-Colored Gold.

Holding the Black Frost Blade, Song Wen swiftly dug through the rock, revealing a man-made secret chamber before Song Wen.

The secret room was very small, less than half a zhang in length and width.

Inside the secret chamber, the roots of the demonic vines had completely taken over, and the Five-Colored Gold spiritual energy fluctuations originated from these roots.

The appearance of this secret chamber proves that the Deepsea Demon Vine did not originally grow here, but was transplanted by someone.

Using Five-Colored Gold to cultivate the magic vine is undoubtedly a grand undertaking.

This aroused Song Wen's intense curiosity about the ruins behind the Cave.

The roots of the Demon Vine were not as resilient as its vines, and Song Wen severed them all with a few strokes.

Four fist-sized pieces of ore were revealed, their surfaces uneven, as if they had been parasitized by demonic vines for a long time and had absorbed some of their contents.

Its surface displays five colors: red, yellow, blue, white, and black. These colors are not static but constantly and slowly changing, which is why it is called Five-Colored Gold.

After confirming that there were no other Five-Colored Gold in the secret chamber, Song Wen destroyed the chamber with his Black Frost Blade before entering the cave.

The Cave was cramped and winding. After traveling for several miles, Song Wen finally met Zhu Yin and the other two.

The space before them widened, revealing a cave about a hundred feet in size.

The three were blocked by a stone gate.

The stone gate is about two zhang high, and it is carved with exquisite patterns. The pattern shows an old man with a sage-like appearance, ascending to heaven on auspicious clouds.

It is obvious that this is a tomb.
