Abyss Cave Plan

Seeing the several Eight-Realm Ancestor arguing, the Grand Saint Granny spoke up, "Gentlemen, through my treasure mirror, I saw that all the strange beasts crawled out of that Black Abyss Cave. To find the source of the strange beasts, it seems we need to go deep into the Black Abyss Cave..."

"Black Abyss Cave? I have ventured deep into the Profound Wind Treasure Valley before, how come I didn't know there was such a cave?"

"I do know a little about this. According to one of my colleagues, the Black Abyss Cave is the source of the Profound Wind (mysterious wind), but the Profound Wind in this cave is ten times stronger than the Profound Wind at the bottom of the valley..."

Lin Yi felt the voice was familiar. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the speaker was wearing Blue Light Armor, with sword-like eyebrows and holding a Spiritual Treasure Long Spear that exuded Frost Chill Intent.

Could this person be Prefecture Lord Yu Ye, the deputy prefect of Tong Pass in the Western Guard?

After speaking, seeing Lin Yi's gaze fixed on him, the man in blue armor smiled and transmitted his voice, "Brother Qin, have you recognized me?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It really is Brother Yu. I knew that voice was familiar, but when did you arrive, Brother Yu?"

"Haha, I was on patrol in Western Guard a few days ago when I received a message from Martial Saint City, so I rushed over. I mentioned this in the Jade Token Spirit Treasure, so I suppose Brother Qin has been in seclusion and hasn't seen the message."

Lin Yi nodded, then chatted with Yu Ye for a few more minutes, inquiring about the specific situation over the past few days and how the Ancient Domain reacted to the changes in the Ancient Secret Realm.

"The strange beasts have not spread in the Ancient Domain. If Wu Shi for the news from Martial Saint City, I wouldn't have known about them. However, Lord Wushi has not made a sound on the Jade Token Spirit Treasure these past few days. I don't know if he is in seclusion or has gone to some special place."

While Lin Yi and Yu Ye were communicating privately, after discussing with everyone, Grand Saint Granny decided to organize a team of Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor to venture deep into the Black Abyss Cave to investigate the source of the strange beasts.

Grand Saint Granny said, "Although the Black Abyss Cave no longer spews out Profound Wind, Profound Wind still rages at the bottom of the valley. Moreover, with the help of Profound Wind, the strange beasts are even more troublesome. Once you expose your aura, you will probably be besieged by thousands or even tens of thousands of strange beasts."

"What suggestions does the Ancestral Saint have?"

"To infiltrate a squad, one must possess excellent Domain skills, and even if surrounded by alien beasts, one must have the means to escape."

At this moment, an Eight-Realm Martial Saint spoke up, "This is not difficult. Among so many Eight-Realm Ancestor, which one of us does not possess a first- Domain? Hiding and escaping is not difficult, nor is slaughtering strange beasts. The important question is, what benefits do we who venture deep into the Black Abyss Cave gain?"

Lin Yi looked at the person who spoke and felt that this person was extremely arrogant, actually speaking to Grand Saint Granny in such a tone.

"Brother Yu, who is this ancestor?"

"The younger brother of the only Nine-Realm Ancestor the Tai Shang Family, this person is named Tai Shang Baxiang. It is said that his ' Milky Way ' Real Domain can encompass a hundred miles. He is a peak figure of the Eight-Realm Ancestor, has lived for over a thousand years, and is of great seniority in the Ancient Domain. He is of the same generation as the Ancestral Saint and the Zun Sheng."

Lin Yi's gaze sharpened slightly; Real Domain that could encompass a hundred miles was indeed quite terrifying.

As is well known, the difference between Eight-Realm Martial Saint and seventh realm Martial Saint lies in whether or not they possess Real Domain. However, there is no fixed division of realms among Eight-Realm Martial Saint.

The only way to determine the strength of Eight-Realm Martial Saint and Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor is through a single battle.

After all, those who can reach the Eight-Realm Martial Saint have mastered a first-class Domain, and Eight Gates -first-class Domain, apart from countering Outer Realm, have all sorts of combat techniques and methods.

Without a personal battle, no one can know who has the highest or lowest combat strength.

However, since the Eight-Realm Ancestor need to master a Great Accomplishment Domain to break through to the Ninth Realm, many Eight-Realm Ancestor are stuck at this level for their entire lives.

Many Eight-Realm Ancestor with long lifespans have found alternative ways to increase their combat power by expanding their Real Domain.

Generally, for Martial Saint with a solid foundation, the Domain Eight-Realm Ancestor that has fully expanded should be within ten kilometers. If the Martial Saint has a solid foundation, the Real Domain range of breaking through the eighth realm should be between ten and forty kilometers.

According to the records of the Ancient Domain, even the Real Domain of a peerless genius can only expand to fifty square meters.

Therefore, it is astonishing that this Tai Shang Baxiang could expand the ' Milky Way ' Real Domain to such an extent.

After all, when two people from the Eight Realms clash, if one person can encompass you within their Domain from the inside out, while your Domain cannot cover them, leaving you only able to passively take hits and defend, then in the end, there is only one word: defeat.

On the field, Grand Saint Granny frowned and looked at Tai Shang Baxiang, "I wonder what reward Grandpa Brother desires?"

"It's simple. Previously, a Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass named Qin Jian could get a reward of the Heaven and Earth Power for killing ten strange beasts. If we go deep into the Black Abyss Cave, we will be risking our lives for the sake of Martial Saint City, so the reward will be no worse than his."

Zhen Xianguang also spoke up from the crowd, "Yes, I don't understand. We serve Martial Saint City, so why should Deputy Prefect Qin receive a different reward?"

Grand Saint Granny was surprised that someone was bringing up Qin Jian's reward again, so she frowned and said, "Deputy Prefect Qin is seventh realm Martial Saint, are you?"

Seeing that Tai Shang Baxiang remained silent, Zhen Xianguang Guang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "But his abilities are no less than those of Eight-Realm Martial Saint. Giving him seventh realm Martial Saint reward is unfair to us. Not to mention anything else, just take the several seventh realm Martial Saint from my Zhen Family as an example. In the past ten days or so, they have only managed to kill a dozen or so strange beasts together, barely enough to exchange for a portion of the Heaven and Earth Power. Yet, Deputy Prefect Qin, relying on the power of Tong Pass, annihilated several dozen strange beasts in one go..."

At this moment, Yu Ye spoke up for Lin Yi: "Zhen Xianguang, I'm afraid there's not much to say about this matter. All we can say is that all the seventh realm Martial Saint in your Zhen Family are useless. Seven or eight of you are no match for Brother Qin alone."

Upon hearing this, many Eight-Realm Martial Saint laughed.

Zhen Xianguang was hit where it hurt and immediately flew into a rage. "Yu Ye, do you really want to be an enemy of the Zhen Family?"

Yu Ye sneered, "Hmph, when I first became the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass, you mocked me too. What, now you want to lecture me as a senior? Tsk tsk, I feel like you haven't improved at all over the years..."

Zhen Xianguang rolled up his sleeves, his face flushed. "Fine, I'd like to see if you've improved."

Grand Saint Granny's face was ashen as she scolded, "Enough! We haven't even reached a conclusion on the matter of the strange beasts yet, and you actually want to fight your own people? Do you really think the rules of Martial Saint City are just for show?"

At this moment, Lin Yi spoke up, "Ancestral Saint, I, Qin, have something to say."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "If anyone is envious of the rewards for killing alien beasts, then Qin, can make this statement: Qin can refuse all those rewards, so as not to let some seniors be so calculating and only put in effort if they want to benefit from them."

"Qin I really don't understand. As Eight-Realm Ancestor of the Ancient Domain and holding an important position in Martial Saint City, do you not even understand the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact?"

Lin Yi was naturally grateful to Grand Saint Granny.

Thirty portions of the Heaven and Earth Power are good, but now that they've been brought up in public, it's probably not easy to get them back.

In any case, he had already comprehended the 'Qiankun' Domain and gained enough benefits.

Right now, it's better to retreat strategically, firstly to repay the kindness of Grand Saint Granny, and secondly to seize the initiative in the conversation.

"Good, well said!"

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Grand Saint Granny was overjoyed, feeling that she had not misjudged him.
