Chapter 1320: Chapter 727: Mysterious Cave (Additional Chapter for 29,600 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1320: Chapter 727: Mysterious Cave (Additional Chapter for 29,600 Monthly Votes) After the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, there were countless trivial matters.
Chen Mobai directly handed them all over to E Yun to discuss with Jiang Zongheng, except for those truly requiring his decision as Sect Leader; the rest could be decided by the two of them.
It was precisely at this ti that Chen Mobai felt the desire to abdicate and let soone capable take over.
However, considering that the Eastern Wilderness had just unified, if soone other than him were to be Sect Leader of the Five Elents Sect, the other Foundation Establishnt mbers of the Wood Vein would not be able to hold their ground, so he decided it would be better to endure the hardship for a while longer.
At least until this batch of cultivators had completed their Foundation Establishnt and each had attempted Core Formation.
After the establishnt of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the main focus of the Five Elents Sect was to recuperate and to use the resources of the entire Eastern Wilderness to enhance the strength of their own sect.
Therefore, Chen Mobai prepared to open the exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.
But before that, there was another issue to resolve.
That was the disappearance of Yu Lian.
Earlier, near the ruins of the Silver Sky Sect, Zheng Deming and others had found traces of demonic beasts and believed that Yu Lian might have encountered a Third-Order Demon Beast, so they didn’t dare to act rashly.
It was only after Fu Zongjue arrived that they dared to follow the demonic qi’s trail.
Eventually, at the border of Snow County and Frost County, within a snowy mountain range, they found a mysterious cave.
Inside this cave, there were so ancient and mysterious restrictions.
Fu Zongjue attempted to probe with his Puppet Body twice, but both attempts ended up trapped inside.
Zheng Deming was certain that the traces of demonic qi had entered this cave.
At that ti, Chen Mobai was in the Ruins. Yu Lian’s identity was not yet important enough for the Five Elents Sect to fully mobilize, so in the absence of the ability to enter and explore, they could only temporarily put the matter aside.
Fortunately, Jiang Zongheng’s grand undertaking of unifying the Eastern Wilderness did not encounter any resistance after Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley retreated, so they continued to guard the entrance to the cave.
Even ng Hong brought over other Foundation Establishnt Practitioners from the sect later on.
If there really was a Third-Order Demon Beast, they, as the rulers of the Eastern Wilderness, had an obligation to resolve the issue.
Snow County bordered Jianjun, so the Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division from Giant Tree Ridge were quickly called over to set up a Rank-3 Formation around the cave.
Even if they didn’t dare to venture inside, they could prevent any Third-Order Demon Beast that might exist inside the cave from coming out.
After Chen Mobai learned about this, he too was extrely surprised.
He never expected that there would be a Third-Order Demon Beast lurking within the Eastern Wilderness.
Luckily, Yu Lian’s Soul Lantern was still intact, which was a fortunate thing amidst unfortunate circumstances.
When he returned to the Ruins and learned about this, he imdiately asked Zhou Shengqing to take action, and the latter did not refuse.
With his Nascent Soul Realm strength, plus the aid of Fu Zongjue’s Puppet Body as a decoy, they cautiously overca the remaining ancient restrictions within the cave.
But when they reached the end of the cave, they were blocked by a snow-white wall.
Even with Zhou Shengqing’s strength, they were unable to open it.
Chen Mobai decided to go in person upon learning of this.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
At the entrance to the cave, ng Hong and the others, who were guarding the place, paid their respects to Chen Mobai, who descended upon a colorful cloud.
“Thank you for your hard work; I’ll take a look inside.”
Chen Mobai nodded and slowly stepped into the cave. Soon his domain unfolded, quickly covering the path opened by Zhou Shengqing to the deepest part.
Activated by the Underworld Array, Chen Mobai at the entrance of the cave turned into a silver light and teleported next to Zhou Shengqing.
“Eh, Junior Brother, have you cultivated a Void Law Body?”
Zhou Shengqing was slightly surprised to see Chen Mobai suddenly appearing before him from the breach in the void.
“One day, while ditating, I had a realization and managed to cultivate it,” Chen Mobai said offhandedly while staring at the ice wall as white as crystal in front of him. The Underworld Array was not sothing that could be exposed in the Tianhe Realm.
“Junior Brother is truly a peerless genius.”
Zhou Shengqing praised. After the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak, he and Fu Zongjue had seen the Number One Body Forging Great thod of the Eastern Wilderness, and although they felt that with enough Void Stones they could get a start, they did not deem it necessary.
With that ti, they would prefer to enhance their own cultivation realm.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mobai had quietly achieved the cultivation of the Void Law Body.
At this mont, Chen Mobai tried using the Extre Sun Slash and was amazed to find that he could only leave a shallow mark on the ice wall. Moreover, seemingly due to the counteracting nature of the elents, a cold white mist surged from the ice wall, completely freezing and dissolving the Extre Sun Slash.
It caused Chen Mobai a pang of distress, knowing that even though he had retained a seed of this sword technique, it would take at least one to two years of hard work to condense this Rank-4 move again.
And the fact that it could so easily nullify his Extre Sun Slash made Chen Mobai quickly realize a terrifying fact.
“Could this ice wall be the work of a Rank-5 technique?”
After hearing this, Zhou Shengqing too nodded seriously.
“I had so doubts before, but after your attempt, Junior Brother, it’s pretty much confird.”
Zhou Shengqing had also used the Heavenly Wood God Needle against this ice wall, but could only leave behind pinpoints that imdiately disappeared.
He originally thought it was because his offensive spells weren’t powerful enough, but now that Extre Sun Slash was also easily dissolved, his worst suspicion was confird.
“Is there any way to get around this ice wall?”
Chen Mobai proposed an idea.
“The entire cave has been refined by a dense and chilly spiritual power, making it not only extrely hard but also capable of blocking Five Elents Escape Techniques. This ice wall, on the contrary, is the most likely place to be breached.”
Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue both shook their heads, sharing their findings from exploring the cave.
Chen Mobai swung the Primordial Yang Sword Evil at the icy stone wall, only to regret that it didn’t even leave a scratch.
“Those who can use Rank-5 Divine Skills are either Huashen Zhenjuns or Nascent Soul Complete Great Cultivators, and given that this is happening above the Eastern Wilderness, it should be pretty easy to trace their origins, right?”
Chen Mobai thought of sothing and couldn’t help but ask.
“My Five Elents Sect has not been established for long in the Eastern Wilderness. Perhaps Snow-blowing Palace may have ancient records regarding this matter.”
Zhou Shengqing shook his head, knowing that after nearly seven thousand years since True Lord Yuan opened the wilderness, it was impossible for their sect to know which Great Cultivators had been here.
“Then I’ll go ask Kong Lingling.”
Fu Zongjue spoke up, as he had recently refined a new puppet and was lacking a subject to test it on.
“Let go instead. After asking, I can take care of her as well.”
Zhou Shengqing, however, suggested with a certain local’s determination.
“I’ll try again.”
Chen Mobai thought of another thod and extended his right hand.
As the Void twisted, his Domain subtly extended toward the ice wall, unseen by Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.
The Domain, under the control of Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense, ford into a fingertip, gently touching the ice wall.
However, the Great Cultivator who cast the restriction had clearly considered the possibility of soone breaching it with an Instantaneous Technique, and the Power of Void could not penetrate the ice wall.
Chen Mobai’s face showed disappointnt, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly thought of sothing else.
He began seeping the Power of Void toward the surrounding cave walls, and to his surprise, sothing unexpected happened.
Although these walls had been refined by condensing power and were incredibly hard, they did not have restrictions set up to block the Power of Void.
Chen Mobai imdiately controlled his Domain to extend along the ice wall in all directions, trying to bypass it.
The extent of the ice wall was sowhat unexpected, being a full three thousand ters.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai’s Domain was even more expansive, and he created a portal high enough and wide enough for his whole body to teleport through, then continuously stretched the Domain.
After bypassing the ice wall and continuously penetrating deeper, he finally discovered an inner cavity after several attempts.
Once Chen Mobai had set up the starting and teleportation points of the Underworld Array, he entrusted Zhou Shengqing with a ssage and, in a flash of silver light, disappeared from his original spot.
In an instant, he arrived in a massive underground cavern.
The scene before his eyes caused his pupils to constrict.
He saw, within the hollow shell of a giant locust, a stunningly beautiful female cultivator, with icy skin and jade-like bones, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, seemingly in ditation.
And beneath her, within a shattered white jade egg, was a gaunt, black-clad young man—Chen Mobai recognized him at once as Yu Lian.
“True Person Kong, by harming our sect’s disciple without permission, are you trying to provoke a war with the Five Elents Sect?”
Jianjun disciples were rare in the Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai imdiately recognized the enchanting female cultivator as Kong Lingling, who he had crossed swords with before.
But after his furious words, Kong Lingling gave no reaction as if she was at a critical mont in her cultivation.
Although Chen Mobai disliked taking advantage of soone in a vulnerable state, under the circumstances, he was very decisive.
An orange-red beam burst forth, ready to encircle Kong Lingling’s neck.
Suddenly, a bizarre and indescribable gust of wind ca from behind Chen Mobai, with terrifying sharpness almost touching his scalp in the very mont it struck.
With a flash of flas, Chen Mobai turned into a spark and dissipated.
Though the Underworld Array was quite useful, the Earth Departing Fla Light Escape was still much quicker in the heat of battle.
Chen Mobai flickered in front of Kong Lingling, and with a grasp in the Void, the Purple Electric Sword was already drawn.
Clang!
The always invincible Purple Electric Sword was grasped by a green-yellow palm.
Amidst the flashing purple lightning, Chen Mobai finally saw clearly who he was up against.
It was a creature, short in stature, with a blue-green body, bat-like wings, ruby-like eyes, and a mouth full of jagged teeth.
Amidst roaring sounds, Chen Mobai unleashed the full power of the Purple Electric Sword.
The creature guarding Kong Lingling’s front had a blood streak split in its palm and was forced to retreat step by step by the slashing brilliance of the sword.
Seizing this opportunity, Chen Mobai divided his mind into thoughts, and an orange-red beam drew a circle in the air, aiming to slash at Kong Lingling.
