Seeing that Wu Ba was stable, Lv San glanced at Li Yan again to confirm everything was alright, then he entered a cave.
The astonishing enhancent of his five senses appeared as well.
Lv San might seem reticent on ordinary days, but he was innately cold by nature and often road the wilderness, his spiritual cultivation hardly weaker than Wang Daoxuan.
The enhanced senses did not lead him astray.
Soon, Lv San entered the state as well.
He too felt the anomaly in the dragon-shaped patterns above, but unlike the others, the Innate Five Elents Earth Vein Qi flowed within him, transforming into the sound of dragon roars in his ears, narrating ancient stories.
Lv San struggled to steady his mind, but unconsciously, he was still affected by the dragon roars, always wanting to lean in and listen.
He forcefully concentrated, and with his amplified senses, he practiced the Elephant Boxing he had learned since childhood.
However, the influence of the dragon roars never ceased.
Lv San’s Fist Force kept changing as well.
His boxing technique, which imitated the pouncing of various beasts among the mountains and rivers, was different from what he had learned from the village guardian; he couldn’t quite master the Dragon Shape Boxing.
After all, dragons were too ethereal.
But now, his Fist Force had unconsciously transford entirely into Dragon Shape Boxing, his movents fluid, resembling a Flood Dragon.
Sotis leaping into the air to claw down,
Sotis changing steps, roaming on the ground.
Not only that, but it also carried a hint of the Witch Dance.
Sothing seed to have been triggered; within the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, the Astral Bane Energy beca even fiercer, filling the cave with a hazy white fog.
This change was imdiately noticed by the others in the cave.
So disciples from the Five Dragons Palace who were cultivating felt an oppressive sensation in their chests, as if sinking into the deep sea, unable to even breathe. They quickly stopped their cultivation and left the cave in disgrace.
A few others persevered with difficulty, their pupils gradually losing focus, unconsciously practicing their boxing technique, evidently gaining so insights.
Li Yan, however, felt it more distinctly.
At this mont, his five senses amplified again, feeling the increasing pressure within the Zhenwu Dragon Cave.
And inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, the Astral Bane fog ford by the Astral Bane Energy grew heavier, seeming like a natural formation, refining those inside.
Finally, the remaining disciples of the Five Dragons Palace couldn’t bear it and leaped out of their stone chambers, running towards the outside.
"Not good, there’s a change in the Zhenwu Dragon Cave!"
"Quick, go inform the Master!"
However, when they burst out of the cave, they were imdiately shocked.
They saw a crowd gathered outside the Zhenwu Hall.
At the location of the five wells, white mist steam surged up like forming tornadoes, furiously roaring.
Including Gu Linzi among the Five Dragon Sons, all had vacant eyes, resembling Walking Corpses, standing beside the wells motionlessly.
"What... what happened?"
One of them couldn’t help but ask.
"Shush!"
Imdiately, a disciple from the Five Dragons Palace signaled them to be quiet, then with a face full of envy, whispered, "The Master said, Brother Gu’s opportunity has arrived."
The erged disciples quickly turned to look.
Indeed, Yu Longzi, the master of the Five Dragons Palace, had appeared, standing atop the steps outside the Zhenwu Hall, looking at the five disciples with a stern expression.
The scene before them surpassed the comprehension of the disciples of the Five Dragons Palace, but seeing that the Master had not comnted, they didn’t dare to ask further.
However, Sha Lifei couldn’t care about these, quickly running forward, urgently said, "Honorable Daoists, our companions, why..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lv San and Wu Ba rushing out of the cave, drenched in cold sweat, their bodies trembling involuntarily.
They obviously couldn’t hold on any longer.
Sha Lifei was imdiately anxious, "Brother Yan?"
"Rest easy."
Lv San took a deep breath and shook his head, "Brother Yan has encountered a great opportunity, telling us to leave first as such chances are rare."
"That’s good, that’s good."
Sha Lifei breathed a sigh of relief, then asked softly, "What exactly happened inside, it wasn’t you guys, was it?"
Lv San’s expression stiffened slightly, and he shook his head.
To be honest, he wasn’t entirely sure.
He felt it might be related to him, but what exactly it was, he was also at a loss.
Yu Longzi, standing on the distant steps, however, twitched his ears, heard their words, and thoughtfully looked towards Hidden Immortal Rock.
...
"Roar!"
Inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, it was now completely difficult to distinguish direction.
The rich Astral Bane Energy surged, forming boiling white fog, turning the entire cave into a pressure cooker.
This situation is often referred to as Land of Great Evil.
The Astral Bane Energy was so dense that it even produced phenona, within the almost tangible white fog, it seed as if five invisible giant dragons were wildly churning.
Hiss!
Suddenly, huge claw marks appeared on the floor of the Dragon Cave.
And inside the stone cave, Li Yan was also drenched in sweat.
At that mont, his five senses had been magnified to an astonishing degree, and he had naturally already awakened, sensing that this place was becoming increasingly perilous.
But at that ti, he noticed sothing unusual.
The Astral Bane Energy within the Zhenwu Dragon Cave seed wildly fierce, but there was a traceable pattern, governed by the Innate Five Elents.
At that mont, Li Yan tightened his horse stance, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his muscles trembling. Streams of Astral Bane Energy surged into his body, only to burst out from other directions.
Thud, thud, thud!
His body’s surface constantly emitted explosive sounds.
This was why he insisted on staying.
The astonishing senses, the Astral Bane Energy that changed according to the rules of the Five Elents—what could be more suitable for practicing the Undying Seal Technique?
The oppression of the Astral Bane Energy was even more fierce than the Hidden Energy.
Yet whenever it entered Li Yan’s body, he would employ the leveraging thod of the Five Elents through his tendons and mbranes, pumping it out again.
Of course, such training also ca with drawbacks.
The Astral Bane Energy was pervasive, his body soon sustained injuries, not only tearing his tendons and mbranes but also severely damaging his internal organs.
Nevertheless, Li Yan disregarded all this, directly employing the Daluo Dharma Body to heal, and, with his astonishing senses, he keenly felt this transformation.
Unknowingly, cracks in the Daluo Dharma Body increased.
Yet Li Yan had already entered a bizarre state, under this nearly crazy pressure, constantly blasting out the Astral Bane Energy that invaded his body.
Bang, bang, bang!
His body’s surface now exploded continuously.
Eventually, after the Daluo Dharma Body healed again, it held for a long while before new injuries appeared.
At this point, Li Yan finally comprehended the Undying Seal Technique.
With the help of his astonishing senses, he could clearly feel every change in his tendons and mbranes, his entire being’s energy unified.
Finally, he began to move his body.
Sigh~
When he was at Baotong Zen Temple, he had already grasped "Fist Force," but now, as he executed it, there was a difference.
With a slap of his palm, the surrounding Astral Bane Energy surged wildly.
Swoosh!
It was like the Splitting Void Palm, the stone walls of the cave in front suddenly thunderously collapsed!
"Astral Force!"
Li Yan was dumbfounded.
After achieving the Transformation Realm, Qi gathers in the Dantian, naturally as one, the body’s energy flowing seamlessly, which is the Dan Strength, capable of sustained combat.
Once reaching the Astral Force, one could shield the body with Gang Qi, even executing mysterious techniques such as Blade Astral and Splitting Void Palm.
At that mont, he instantly understood.
The secret of the Astral Force was to use Fist Force and Blade Force, manipulating the Astral Bane Energy with a powerful spirit to attack!
Just then, a wild wind suddenly howled within the cave.
The Astral Bane Energy rapidly retreated, and the thick white fog it ford also quickly dissipated.
Li Yan hurriedly looked up and saw the white fog swirling as if dragon absorbing water, being sucked into five dragon-shaped patterns on the cave ceiling.
In an instant, Zhenwu Dragon Cave turned into a normal cave.
It must be that the Taoists above had stopped the ritual.
Li Yan didn’t bother to care about it and, following the feeling he had just experienced, condensed his Fist Force, stepped forward and fiercely struck out with a punch.
Thud!
The force reverberated, the power was extraordinary.
However, even the stone wall three steps away that was almost shattered remained motionless.
Li Yan stopped and chuckled, retracting his fist.
Indeed, it was akin to a temporary trial card.
With the closing of the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, he was imdiately returned to his original state.
But the gains from this trip were also imnse.
He had fully mastered the Undying Seal Technique, gained insights into the Astral Force, and had seen the vistas of the path ahead; he just needed to press forward resolutely.
Thinking of this, Li Yan’s mood brightened greatly, and he quickly walked out of the cave.
"Brother Yan, are you alright?"
Sha Lifei and the others hurriedly gathered around.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. This Zhenwu Dragon Cave truly lives up to its reputation!"
Wang Daoxuan and the others let out a sigh of relief and did not ask further.
Seeing Li Yan’s appearance, it was clear he had gained much.
Many disciples from the Five Dragons Palace saw him co out, their eyes revealing surprise, but they did not inquire in detail, instead whispering among themselves, looking towards Zhenwu Hall.
Li Yan slightly furrowed his brows and asked softly, "What happened?"
"Sothing strange occurred."
Sha Lifei hurriedly narrated what he had seen, "Those five Taoists, after waking up, seed like completely different people, were called away by the abbot, not sure what they were discussing..."
Lv San’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, "Those people, after waking up, had a kind of sound on them, exactly like what I heard inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave!"
