The Secret Hidden in the Cave

"Phew~~"

Ao Changsheng let out a breath, composed himself, and then slowly walked inside.

Once inside, there was a huge cave. The cave walls were inlaid with all sorts of stones, and a luminous pearl was embedded in one of them, illuminating the cave.

Ao Changsheng walked around the cave and found a Zhuzi about ten meters high with a huge picture on it.

This painting is so old that its original appearance is no longer discernible.

Upon closer inspection, Ao Changsheng saw that the figure in the painting was a young woman in white, holding a beautifully sculpted baby in her arms.

This baby was the little girl that Ao Changsheng had seen in the valley.

Ao Changsheng stared at the ancient painting, utterly astonished.

Who is this baby? Why is there this painting in her arms? And the figure depicted in the painting bears an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to the portrait he saw on the huge stone tablet in the Kunwu Secret Realm.

"Huh? What's this...?"

Ao Changsheng suddenly noticed something: the little girl in the painting looked remarkably like himself.

When did this painting appear?

Ao Changsheng thought to himself.

"Could the baby depicted in this painting be the son of Little Dragon Girl and the little golden snake in her womb, the child born to Little Dragon Girl?" Ao Changsheng muttered to himself.

"Little sister, who left this painting?" Ao Changsheng asked.

"It was left to me by my mother. She said the painting depicts a scene she witnessed in ancient times," the little girl said.

"A scene I saw in ancient times? Could it be that the little girl is your mother? What kind of scene is depicted in this painting?" Ao Changsheng asked.

"Grand Pure One, I'm not really sure either. My mother just said she saw some very strange scenes. She said those scenes were very different from the current Immortal Realm, something I'd never seen before. It was a desolate starry sky, the space there was incredibly solid, and the spiritual energy in that space was incredibly dense. The cultivation speed there was more than a hundred times, maybe even a thousand times, faster than in the Immortal Realm. That's why my mother chose to cultivate there. She wanted to improve her strength and then send me there so I could survive," the little girl said.

"The mythical beasts in this painting are also very powerful. Is everything your mother said true?" Ao Changsheng asked.

"What my mother said is true."

"Oh, I see. So that painting must have been left behind by the Immortal Realm. I wonder just how powerful that beast was?"

"My mother said that the celestial beast was incredibly powerful. She said she only managed to escape with her life because she was lucky. As for me, I was captured by that Yaomo because I failed to cultivate Immortal Essence Power."

"The Yaomo of the Immortal Realm are so terrifyingly powerful?" Ao Changsheng was extremely surprised.

"Yes, my mother said that my current strength is utterly insignificant in the eyes of the Yaomo of the Immortal-Devil Realm."

Ao Changsheng smiled bitterly to himself; the Yaomo of the Immortal-Devil Realm were indeed terrifying.

"Since the Yaomo of the Immortal Realm are so powerful, wouldn't your father be even more powerful?"

"I don't know about my father's strength, but he's a top-tier Daluo Golden Immortal in the Immortal Realm. His strength is terrifying. According to my father, back in the Immortal-Devil Realm, my father's strength wasn't even as good as his," the little girl said.

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng's expression shifted rapidly, his heart filled with shock, and for a moment he was at a loss for how to evaluate Ao Guang.

"No matter what, that immortal's strength must have surpassed that of an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal. Otherwise, that immortal beast wouldn't have captured me. We must leave here as soon as possible, or we'll be trapped here to die," Ao Changsheng said.

"How do we leave? I don't know the way," the little girl asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't know the way, but I'm different. I know every single place here," Ao Changsheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ao Changsheng's words, the little girl's face lit up with excitement, and she asked, "Uncle Ao, do you know how to leave here?"

"Of course I know. Although there are restrictions in this cave, in my eyes, those restrictions are not really restrictions. I can leave this place at any time if I want," Ao Changsheng said arrogantly.

"Great! Uncle Ao, please take me away from here!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly.

"The main purpose of this restriction is to prevent Yaomo from communicating with each Demon Beast. Once I break this restriction, we can leave this place. However, this restriction will take a long time to work, so please be patient. After I break the restriction, I will take you away from here," Ao Changsheng said with a faint smile.

"Mmm!" the little girl nodded emphatically.

"Little girl, you rest for a bit, I'll be right back," Ao Changsheng said with a smile.

"Uncle Ao, be careful not to break the barrier, otherwise that monster will definitely kill you."

"Don't worry, your Uncle Ao is invincible. No matter how strong that celestial beast is, it can't do anything to me. You just need to wait quietly," Ao Changsheng said confidently.

After saying that, Ao Changsheng walked towards the restriction. When he arrived in front of the restriction, he gently patted the restriction with his palm, and then a powerful energy blasted towards the restriction.

Ao Changsheng's strength was, after all, at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. The moment he punched the restriction, the restriction was instantly destroyed by his energy. With a wave of his sleeve, he dispersed the surrounding dust, revealing a dark cave.

The walls of this cave are made entirely of stone, and there is nothing else there.

Ao Changsheng entered the cave and found that apart from some strange patterns on the stone walls, there was nothing else inside, which made him frown.

What on earth is going on? There's nothing here. Where is the picture the immortal drew hidden? Did he capture me here just to get this painting?

"Ao Changsheng, you've finally arrived. Can I leave now?" A cold voice came from behind Ao Changsheng.

"Who is it?" Ao Changsheng's heart tightened, and he became alert. He quickly turned around to look.

Just then, Ao Guang's voice came from behind him. Behind him stood three or four people, namely Ao Qing and Ao Tian. There were seven of them in total, the same three people Ao Changsheng had just encountered.

The reason why Ao Changsheng felt familiar was entirely because he had a pair of huge wings on his back, which were exactly the same as Ao Guang's.
