Witnessing such a terrifying scene, Lin Chang’sheng imdiately suppressed his cultivation, lest he draw the attention of the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python.
After absorbing the cultivation of over a dozen Integration Cultivators, the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python grew even larger, its body now covered with more keratinous scales, showing clear signs of molting and evolution.
Hiss—
The Three-headed Ice and Fire Python let out a long, piercing cry, then dove headfirst into the cliff and disappeared from sight.
Lin Chang’sheng followed quickly, discovering that the cliff was so deep, its bottom could not be seen at all.
"If this is where the spirit beast dwells, then there must be treasures here. Why aren’t you heading down to take a look?"
The Sword Elder, seeing Lin Chang’sheng standing at the edge of the cliff, urged him on.
Lin Chang’sheng hesitated for just a mont, then jumped straight down as well.
Normally, Lin Chang’sheng would never have done sothing so risky without any certainty.
After all, he knew nothing about what lay below the cliff—there could be a ton of powerful spirit beasts down there, and going in might just be a death sentence.
But seeing Sword Elder so confident, Lin Chang’sheng was willing to take the risk.
This cliff truly felt bottomless.
Lin Chang’sheng had already been in free fall for more than a dozen breaths, and still couldn’t see the bottom.
Instead, he noticed that the spiritual energy below was growing steadily thicker.
Maybe there really was so treasure here.
Finally, after falling for about a minute, Lin Chang’sheng saw a river appear below him.
Splash—
Lin Chang’sheng dropped directly into the river.
The river was rather rapid, its destination unknown, and Lin Chang’sheng didn’t dare to unleash his divine sense to scout around, fearing the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python might discover him.
If he were detected, getting out alive would be nearly impossible.
Lin Chang’sheng could only keep moving toward the areas with the densest spiritual energy.
"Even the spiritual energy in this river is so abundant?"
Lin Chang’sheng was quite surprised—this place was definitely not ordinary.
As he drifted further along the river, Lin Chang’sheng noticed clusters of plants growing on the riverbank walls, each bearing a pair of red fruits, one large and one small, about the size of a thumb, connected together.
"What kind of fruit are these?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked the Sword Elder.
"Those are called Mother and Child Blood Jade Fruits. Hurry and collect them! Consuming these fruits can not only temper your blood and nourish your divine sense, but also boost your cultivation!"
The Sword Elder gave him a quick reminder—these were real treasures!
Lin Chang’sheng was truly lucky to have stumbled upon sothing this valuable.
This stuff couldn’t possibly grow in any ordinary place.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng imdiately leapt up and gathered all the Mother and Child Blood Jade Fruits from the wall, collecting at least thirty of them.
As the river flowed on, Lin Chang’sheng also spotted marks along the walls—scars left by powerful weapons, and even so sturdy walls still had weapons embedded in them, proof of the fierce battles that once happened here.
These Mother and Child Blood Jade Fruits might well have ford from the blood of fallen powerhouses, nourished by spiritual energy.
Besides the scars and weapons on the walls, there were also traces left by the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python rubbing past.
Clearly, the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python ca and went from here quite often.
Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t lost track of the spirit beast yet.
He didn’t let the weapons in the walls go to waste either, collecting every one that he found.
Among them, there were even several Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasures.
They’d be perfect for fusion later on.
As the river flowed farther, the tunnel ahead grew narrower, and Lin Chang’sheng clearly sensed the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python was very close by.
Lin Chang’sheng’s heart began to pound; he instantly held his breath.
If the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python discovered him now, he’d be in deep trouble.
This spirit beast was so strong it could kill Integration Stage experts as easily as eating or drinking.
Fortunately, having just absorbed the cultivation of more than a dozen Integration powerhouses, the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python seed busy refining it and hadn’t sensed Lin Chang’sheng’s presence.
Drawing nearer, Lin Chang’sheng squeezed through a narrow passage, only to find himself in a massive stone chamber.
This stone room was as bright as daylight, the ceiling covered in luminous beads—’stone room’ was hardly the word for it; it was more like an underground palace.
Within this underground palace stood a number of huge stone pillars, each carved with Brahma sigils and patterns.
At the center of the palace was a stone platform, upon which rested a coffin made of Spirit Wood, waves of thick spiritual energy pouring out from it.
Off to the side lay a spiritual pool, and the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python was quietly curled beside it. Having absorbed the primordial power of over a dozen Integration Cultivators, it needed ti to refine and absorb it, and its eyes were tightly closed.
"Could that spirit coffin be the final resting place of a fallen powerhouse?"
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself—it seed that it wasn’t that no one had found it, but that no one was strong enough to take it.
This spirit beast wasn’t sothing any ordinary person could handle.
Even seeing the spirit coffin so close, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t dare act recklessly.
After all, the Three-headed Demon Snake beside him was not to be trifled with.
Lin Chang’sheng considered drawing a teleportation array and snatching the coffin before making his escape.
But inscribing a teleportation array took ti.
If the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python caught on, he probably wouldn’t have ti to finish before being killed.
All he could do was wait for the right mont.
Hiss—
Sure enough, good things co to those who wait. After about two hours, the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python finally gave a long cry and began writhing its whole body.
The rock-hard scales covering its body actually started to loosen slowly.
"Is the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python about to molt and evolve?"
Lin Chang’sheng’s heart gave a jolt—no wonder after absorbing the primordial power of so many Integration cultivators, the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python hadn’t moved; it was about to break through!
