Fully Prepared, Entering the Cave in Search of Treasure
So, Lin Yi explored the Black Abyss Cave for a while. He discovered that the Xuanfeng (mysterious Profound Wind) within the cave followed a simple pattern, changing direction roughly every fifteen minutes. Secondly, due to the unique wind pressure near the cave entrance, the Profound Wind was imperceptible. However, once one crossed that boundary, the Profound Wind's power would press down on the person stepping onto it a hundredfold or a thousandfold. Without prior preparation, one would likely end up like him earlier, either being sucked in or blown away...
After figuring out the reason, Lin Yi found a place to hide more than ten miles away and began to cultivate in seclusion, waiting for midnight.
Inside the cave, Lin Yi pondered his next cultivation method.
Although ' Xun Wind ' has reached perfection, there are still many Domain he needs to comprehend.
This place is located deep underground, which is also a good place to comprehend the ' Kun Earth ' realm. Therefore, Lin Yi chose the ' Kun Earth ' Domain as the fifth domain of the Qiankun system.
However, just a few hours after Lin Yi left, three figures appeared near the Black Source Cave.
These three were the three Eight-Realm Martial Saint who had fallen out with Qiu Heming.
The Tai Shang Family Ancestor was seen digging into a piece of Purple Spirit Ore in the cave, but after only ten meters, the Spirit Ore was pressed down by the Profound Wind and instantly turned into powder.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he raised an eyebrow. "Sure enough, it's different from the past few days. It should be the day of internal absorption, a time to delve deep and extract treasures."
The Eight-Realm Martial Saint of the 'Wood' Domain leaned on his wooden staff and said regretfully, "It's a pity. If Qiu Heming were here, with his ' Xun Wind ' blessing, our safety would be more guaranteed."
"Hmph, in the end, we are not on the same side. Originally, I saw that he controlled ' Xun Wind ' and wanted to cooperate with him, so I led him to discover the Black Abyss Cave. But I didn't expect that this person would clamor about unfair distribution. How ridiculous. Without the three of us, he would not have been able to find this place at all. Besides, now that he is gone, wouldn't the three of us be able to get more land? Jin Hong, what do you say?"
The old man known as the Jin Hong Elder was the Eight-Realm Martial Saint who controlled the ' Bright Sun '. Just like Lin Yi, he solemnly said in a deep voice after testing the Profound Wind's pattern at the cave entrance, "The Profound Wind's power here rotates about once every quarter of an hour. During this time, we do not resist the Profound Wind. On the contrary, we can use the power of the Profound Wind to penetrate deeper. However, every time I enter this Black Abyss Cave, I always feel a sense of unknown fear."
The Tai Shang Family Ancestor said, "How can we catch tiger cubs without venturing into the tiger's den? Over the years, we have discovered so many treasures near the cave entrance. If we hadn't dared to venture deep inside, we would never have had the chance again. In short, do you two want to go or not?"
Thinking that there might be a large amount of heaven and Heaven and Earth Power and rare treasures deep in the Black Abyss Cave, Golden Rainbow Ancestor gritted his teeth. "Fine, then so be it!"
Holding the wooden staff, the old ancestor nodded. "I will listen to Brother Jin."
Subsequently, the three of them seized upon the patterns of internal absorption and external blowing within the Black Abyss Cave and leaped into it.
On the other side, Lin Yi was unaware of what had happened near the Black Abyss Cave, nor did he know that the three Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor had already stepped into it first.
It was just past midnight.
At this moment, Lin Yi had temporarily replaced the [Eye of Thunder Punishment] and drawn a brand new golden wind-type talent.
[Void Wind Body - Gold]: Active talent. After transforming into the Void Wind Body, even the fusion of wind power cannot erode you. You will turn into Void and transcend the control of wind power.
After solidifying this talent, Lin Yi decisively transformed it into the Void Wind Body.
A hazy, ethereal light enveloped Lin Yi's entire body, and then Lin Yi began to fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After removing ' Qian Heaven ' and ' Xun Wind ', Lin Yi Yiqi emerged from the Underground Cave and faced the sweeping, tearing Profound Wind head-on.
At that moment, he seemed to transform into a transparent ghost, and the wind blew through his body without any obstruction.
"With this talent, I'm afraid the Profound Wind in the Black Abyss Cave will no longer pose a threat to me."
Lin Yi lit up with joy, and then he arrived at the entrance of the Black Abyss Cave.
After feeling around at the cave entrance for a while and finding that the pattern hadn't changed, Lin Yi stepped inside.
Now, whether the Profound Wind power in the Black Abyss Cave is absorbed internally or blown externally, it has no effect on Lin Yi.
At this moment, Lin Yi slowly descended along the straight cave wall, beginning to use [Wind Intent Perception] and [Wind Identification Art] to explore the situation below.
However, after diving down one meter, Lin Yi suddenly frowned.
It was only because he used his [Wind Intent Perception] to discover that the place where the Heaven and Earth Power had been located yesterday was now empty, with nothing there.
What happened? How could a portion of the Heaven and Earth Power suddenly disappear?
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, guessing that someone had also entered the Black Abyss Cave during his seclusion.
Otherwise, this Heaven and Earth Power wouldn't have disappeared so inexplicably.
However, after taking several samples of Profound Wind to examine them, Lin Yi still found no trace of living people in the cave.
Perhaps these people have already left, or perhaps they have reached a deeper place, beyond the reach of even the [Wind Intent Perception].
Lin Yi shook his head, no longer daring to reveal his whereabouts casually. Then, he used ' Qian Heaven ' to hide his figure in the void.
After sinking about a kilometer, the pathways of the Black Abyss Cave began to become intricate and complex, with several winding forks appearing.
The first Heaven and Earth Power that Lin Yi discovered was in one of the winding passages. It is likely that the first person to take away the Heaven and Earth Power descended from this passage.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and did not rush to go deeper. Instead, he collected the power of the Profound Wind at the winding fork in the road and used [Wind Intent Perception] to explore the Wind Path Labyrinth.
If you do encounter competitors down below, figuring out the escape route in advance will give you a better chance of success.
However, just as Lin Yi was recording Wind Path's route, his [Wind Identification Art] talent suddenly sensed something.
The so-called "wind senser" is the ability to detect treasures and dangers from the wind.
Right now, Lin Yi could sense that there seemed to be a treasure hidden in the rock wall of a windy spot.
Lin Yi flashed and landed at the wind gap, preparing to dig open the rock wall.
However, the rock walls on both sides of the Black Abyss Cave have been blown by the Profound Wind force day and night for countless years. Over these long years, the Profound Wind has been like a pair of invisible yet resilient giant hands, constantly rubbing and tempering the rock walls.
For example, the hardness of the rock wall is comparable to that of Martial Dao Spirit Treasure.
Lin Yi used his finger as a sword, covered in golden light, and stabbed twice, only managing to create two small dents each time.
"Good rock. If it could be refined, it would probably be comparable to ordinary purple ore."
Lin Yi bared his teeth, then unleashed his full power, throwing a punch that combined the three Domain ' Qian Heaven ' (Heavenly Heaven) with wind, thunder, and fire.
This punch contained no technique whatsoever, only the power of the Domain and Lin Yi's brute physical strength.
Wipe it!
The moment he swung his fist, the space trembled, and lightning, fire, and wind swirled around Lin Yi's arm, emitting a dazzling light. Then, Lin Yi's right fist slammed into the straight rock wall of the wind tunnel like a falling meteorite.
With a loud crash, large sections of the sharp rock wall shattered and fell, instantly accelerating their descent into the depths of the Black Abyss Cave as they were drawn in by the power of the Profound Wind.
Lin Yi ignored all that and looked at the rock wall, where he saw a Stone Pearl emitting a brownish light embedded in it.
Clearly, the treasure sensed by the [Wind Identification Art] is this item.
Just as he was about to pry the Stone Pearl out, he heard what seemed to be an extremely miserable scream coming from the depths of the Black Abyss Cave.
