Finding a dilapidated opening, the Profound Water Banner led the way, with the group following behind, continuing along the long passage in search of the Green Chi's trail.
The mere mention of the abandoned old nest eased many of the concerns in everyone's hearts.
Changming then revealed more of the Demon Beast's habits.
"The habits of these [ Void-Piercing Borer Dragon ] are actually quite similar to those of ants. There is an adult Borer Dragon that continuously produces new offspring for the entire colony, along with ordinary worker insects and a few queen insects."
"Worker insects are also responsible for building and maintaining the nest, as well as foraging for food, while queen insects are responsible for the safety of the entire colony."
"Adult worker insects are only at the Foundation Establishment to Golden Core stage in strength, but they are extremely unskilled in combat, and their greatest strength lies in swarm tactics. Adult queen insects, on the other hand, are of a different scale—"
"Those with lower aptitude are at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, while those with higher aptitude are at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Some, who live long enough and devour enough prey, can even reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage!"
Nascent Soul Late Stage stage...
If a dozen or so Nascent Soul Late Stage were to appear at the same time, let alone whether the Green Chi would dare to enter, even Chen Shuangbai Chen Shuangbai, who has a High-Grade Spirit Treasure with him, would do everything in his power to escape.
That scene was truly terrifying!
Seeing the slightly grave expressions on everyone's faces, Changming added, "However, there's no need to worry so much. Although these monsters are ferocious and numerous, they have a fatal weakness."
I guess...
True Lord Jihai said, "They have completely adapted to the void, therefore they cannot survive in the mortal world."
" The True Lord is wise!"
After subtly flattering True Lord Jihai, the Jade Essence Toad said, "Precisely because it is completely adapted to the environment of the void, once the Void-Piercing Borer Dragon leaves the void and lands in the mortal world..."
"Within a short while, he will die completely, until he is carried away by the wind."
That makes things much easier!
True Lord Jihai and Chen Shuangbai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Nascent Soul True Lord can break through the void and return to the mortal world at any time. If this demon has such a weakness, then its danger level will drop sharply.
"Too."
Gao Yi gradually became bolder and dared to express his opinion, "If this really is a nest inhabited by a large number of [ Void-Piercing Borer Dragon ], how could the Green Chi dare to hide inside?"
As they went deeper, strange marks began to appear on the walls on both sides of the passageway.
Clearly, this is indeed an abandoned old nest, where many [ Void-Piercing Borer Dragon ] once thrived, but for some reason they abandoned it, leaving only this old nest to occupy this place.
This old lair is far too vast and intricately complex; even those at the Nascent Soul level must exercise caution.
Chen Shuangbai secretly ordered Haoming Boy to use his divine sense to explore all directions with his divine sense, using his own body's wondrous power. Occasionally, he would see a few traces, but they were nothing more than weak demons.
until...
As the passageway began to fall, a light blue rain began to fall, and a layer of pale blue water began to float at the bottom, with shimmering light resembling dragons swimming back and forth within it.
True Lord Jihai's expression turned serious again, and he reminded him, "It's the Green Chi's Divine Ability."
With a wave of his hand, Haoming Boy sent Gao Yi, Chen Yazhen, and the others back into the space within his own body.
Even Nascent Soul Early Stage would struggle to withstand a fight between Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, let alone a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Not long after.
A bright light gradually appeared ahead, and after flying for a while, they gradually arrived at a relatively spacious nest chamber.
The top of the nest chamber was covered with many huge crystals that shimmered with white light, making the inside completely transparent.
However, there was one more person among them.
Although this person looks old, his spirit and energy are as sharp as a sword piercing the sky.
Wearing a long blue robe, with a gaunt face and a sharp sword light flashing between his eyes, and carrying two swords on his back, one blue and one white, he was Liheng Sword Sect, the Azure Cloud Sword Lord, who Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.
The sword cultivator seemed to sense the approaching strange aura as well. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked over, but when he saw that Chen Shuangbai was among the newcomers, the wariness and hostility on his face immediately disappeared.
"So it was the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal!"
As the leader of the Sword Alliance and the Supreme Elder of the Liheng Sword Sect, even though Azure Cloud Sword Lord's cultivation level was higher than Chen Shuangbai's, he still addressed this junior Chen Shuangbai as a Sword Immortal, which is enough to show the Sword Alliance's respect for those who have cultivated Sword Intent.
Chen Shuangbai cupped her hands in greeting. "You're too kind, senior."
After the three exchanged greetings, Chen Shuangbai asked the Sword Alliance leader, "Senior Qingyun, weren't you chasing after that scoundrel Yuandu?"
The Azure Cloud Sword Lord nodded slightly and said, "This fellow is cunning. After breaking through the void, he fled all the way. Although he took several sword strikes from me, he is not without merit. He fled all the way here, and when he saw that things were not going well, he hid in this strange place."
"I chased them in, but there were countless passageways, and my Divine Sense was restricted, so I got lost for a while... until I met you and Jihai."
" Yuandu?"
Ji Hai Zhenjun did not know much about what was happening on the Wan Chuan Sea.
As soon as the crisis at the Jade Spring Sect was resolved, he followed the trail left behind by True Lord Qingchen, and was naturally somewhat unfamiliar with the events that had occurred in the outside world these past few days.
Seeing this, Chen Shuangbai briefly explained the important points, adding at the end, "Senior, you can calm down a bit. Both the Parting Hate Gate and the Transformation Sect, these two demonic sects, have already had their gates breached by this junior."
After listening, the Azure Cloud Sword Lord remained silent for a few moments, then let out a hearty laugh, "Good! Good! Good!"
" Xuhong's move is truly gratifying!"
"Such a feat is something even I, an old man, am ashamed to admit!"
"Upon returning to the mortal world, I will personally lead my disciples to the Jade Spring Sect to express my gratitude."
Jihai hurriedly said, "Senior, this is absolutely unacceptable..."
The Azure Cloud Sword Lord merely puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "If I say it's possible, then it's possible. Just wait and see!"
This old Sword Lord is of high seniority and high moral character, a rare moral person in the country, so Jihai is not very good at advising him.
After a hearty laugh, the old man asked again, "And what about you?"
"What brings you here?"
Jihai and Chen Shuangbai exchanged a glance, then decided to be frank and lay everything out on the table. They emphasized the key points and added, "The Green Chi's soul was subdued by our ancestors, but now it has broken free and taken over my senior brother's body. That's why Xuhong and I tracked it down here."
"I see."
The old Sword Lord understood that there must be some hidden secrets involved, so he didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "Since our target is here, let's proceed together."
"Okay!"
This is what True Lord Jihai said.
After all, this was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator and a swordsman, whose combat power was quite astonishing.
However... Chen Shuangbai had a question. Looking at the old Sword Lord, she asked with burning eyes, "Senior, even if Yuandu had to abandon his sect, he still wanted to break the seal. Given the demonic path's tendency to only act when there's a profit to be made, do you know what he took from the [ Black and Yellow Land ]?"
The old Sword Lord fell silent for a moment.
