Taken Away, the Immortal Bone Lends Its Aid
This light is not the confined brightness of a candle flame, nor does it come from a fixed source; rather, it emanates naturally from every inch of the fabric of this world.
Beneath their feet lay a solid, warm jade-like crystal layer of earth veins, within which countless golden earth veins pulsed slowly as if alive.
With each rise and fall, a warm, bright light spreads along the veins and patterns, illuminating the earth beneath your feet until it is crystal clear, and even the tributaries of the earth veins thousands of feet deep in the crystal layer can be seen clearly.
A vast, surging sea of dark yellow light hung overhead, within which floated the illusory images of countless mountains and rivers, their outlines—peaks, valleys, and plains—revealed in exquisite detail in the bright light.
At the same time, countless golden ribbons of light descended from the sea of light, falling softly like a spring drizzle, landing on the body without burning or stinging.
At the end, eighty-one black gold puppets stood silently.
However, most of the puppets had lost their luster, and some were even covered in cracks, looking as if they would shatter completely at the slightest touch.
Around the eighty-one puppets, one could occasionally see a few skeletons with a jade-like luster, bathed in bright light, quietly embedded in the glass-like crystal layers.
These skeletons appear to have been left behind by cultivators who previously explored the Qianyuan Cave Abode.
However, they failed and fell on the first floor.
It's just unknown whether these eighty-one puppets were intact when these cultivators arrived.
"A good perspective."
At this moment, Cao Zhao's eyes showed admiration, and he said sincerely.
This first level looks extraordinary, built by relying on the earth's veins; ordinary people would hardly have such means.
That's why Cao Zhao was filled with admiration after seeing it.
"The owner of this cave abode must have been an extraordinary master of the Earth Vein Dao during his lifetime, certainly famous in history, but we don't know exactly who he was," Wang Ci said.
Upon hearing this, Jin Ruoxu explained, "Senior, the master of this Qianyuan Cave Abode is named Lin Xuan, also known as True Lord Xuanhao."
"True Lord Xuanhao? That's an extraordinary powerhouse!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rugui immediately widened his eyes slightly.
This True Lord Xuanhao was renowned for his power and prestige.
Despite being Rogue Cultivator, he was able to cultivate to the Dao Integration Realm.
This is extremely rare among Rogue Cultivator.
Moreover, after becoming Dao Union True Lord, he initially kept a very low profile, and few people knew about it.
Later, for some unknown reason, he got into a fight with six Dao Union True Lord.
Although they were all at the Early Dao Union realm, fighting six at once would be quite difficult.
Moreover, all six of them came from prestigious families and had strong backgrounds.
It can be said that True Lord Xuanhao has virtually no chance of winning.
But the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Lin Xuan won, and won by a large margin.
He killed the six men, sustaining only minor injuries himself.
Later, the forces behind those six people were enraged and began to hunt down Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan remained unscathed.
In the end, Lin Xuan even intervened and destroyed three of the forces.
The remaining three were also severely weakened and relegated to the bottom tier.
Since then, Lin Xuan's fame has spread throughout Tianyuan.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Rugui never expected that the Qianyuan Cave Abode was Lin Xuan's.
Lin Xuan actually passed away quietly here. It's truly... a cruel twist of fate.
After all, everyone thought Lin Xuan could reach the Void Refinement Realm at that time.
"Lin Xuan has had many extraordinary encounters throughout his life and possesses numerous treasures," Wang Ci said at this moment.
"We expect to gain quite a bit from this trip."
"Yes, I agree." Cao Zhao nodded.
Without further ado, the three of them took the lead and decided to thoroughly explore the Qianyuan Cave Abode.
There's nothing much to see on this first level; the three of them had already scanned it with their Divine Sense hundreds of times.
Apart from the eighty-one puppets, there was nothing else unusual.
The group went to the eighty-one puppets.
In an instant, several of the movable puppets came to life.
He raised his large axe and swung it down at the several Golden Core cultivators of the Jin Household.
Jin Ruoxu reacted quickly, immediately unleashing his immense Law Power to send the puppets flying.
His Law Power then transformed into threads, entering the puppet's body and shattering its core.
In this way, these puppets can no longer move.
"If these puppets were intact, they would be quite impressive," Jin Ruoxu remarked, looking at the puppets around him.
Li Yunjing stood in front of a puppet that had lost its ability to move, examining it carefully.
He was debating whether or not to take these puppets back with him.
If they can be repaired, these puppets can protect the Luozhen Sect.
This is equivalent to a puppet of eighty-one Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators!
"Yunjing, you're very interested in this puppet?"
At this moment, Xiao Tianxing over.
Li Yunjing nodded and told Xiao Tianxing his thoughts.
After listening, Xiao Tianxing thought for a moment and then told Li Yunjing.
"You can take it back and then find a weapon refiner from the Immortal Alliance to take a look."
"The Immortal Alliance has Qi Refining Grandmasters among its members; repairing these puppets shouldn't be a problem."
Li Yunjing's eyes lit up. If that's the case, then he wouldn't hold back.
The profit sharing had been agreed upon long ago.
Therefore, if Li Yunjing wants to take these puppets away, he still needs to ask others.
Fortunately, Jin Ruoxu, Cao Lie, and others had no objections.
They weren't interested in these puppets, so if Li Yunjing wanted them, he could take Li Yunjing without having to pay anything in return; it was just a favor he was doing for them.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately began to collect the puppets one by one.
Fortunately, Li Yunjing had replaced his storage Law Treasure with one that had a very large capacity, more than enough to hold all eighty-one puppets; otherwise, Li Yunjing would have been in serious trouble.
After spending some time, Li Yunjing stored all eighty-one puppets into his storage Law Treasure.
This huge first floor suddenly became completely empty.
The next destination is the second floor.
The entrance to the second level is not far away; it's a teleportation array.
The teleportation array is large enough to easily accommodate all these people.
Everyone entered the teleportation array, and after it was activated, a flash of light appeared.
Everyone disappeared into the teleportation array.
Li Yunjing only felt a flash before his eyes, and then the scene before him changed.
Before them stretched a vast expanse of runic light, while behind them lay an endless sea of primordial yellow light.
It was still a world bathed in the light of the earth's primordial energy, but this light had transformed from the eternal daylight of the wilderness into a winding, bottomless, gilded corridor.
These are the nine passages leading to the third level.
Nine corridors, each nine zhang wide and twelve zhang high, resembled nine giant dragons coiling upwards from the depths of the earth's core. Starting from the meeting platform beneath their feet, they all spiraled down into the endless abyss.
Each passageway is not made of ordinary bricks and stones, but was carved directly from the Northern Dark Mountain in one piece, with the walls, ceiling, and ground seamlessly integrated without any trace of splicing.
Every surface of the corridor is densely engraved with the true words of the Earth Vein Dao.
The dark golden High Antiquity seal script flowed and undulated along the veins of the crystal jade, breathing in sync with the pulse of the earth. With each flash of light, an extremely terrifying Daoist aura spread out along with the bright light.
This is the greatest danger on the second level.
Li Yunjing was not a cultivator of the Earth Vein Dao. After glancing at those High Antiquity seal script characters, he immediately felt dizzy and his body swayed as if he was about to collapse.
Fortunately, at that moment, the Immortal Bone in his chest suddenly released a warm current, which allowed Li Yunjing to recover.
At that moment, the voice of the Five Spirits Lord rang in Li Yunjing's mind.
"With your Immortal Bone, you can rest assured to view those seal script characters."
This inscription records a Cultivation Method, which is quite good for the lower realms. If you are interested, you could consider practicing this Cultivation Method.
