On that day, the Clear Moon Peak was engulfed in flames, and seven cold swords were plunged into Ye Zhao's body. They were her seven most beloved disciples.
She had once risked severe inj...
Chapter 35 Entering the Cave
"This is Dingyuan Pill," Ye Zhao handed over the jade bottle, "The Lieyuan Sutra you practiced is powerful and domineering. If you encounter any unexpected situations in the secret realm, this pill can help you."
Lin Qingxuan was stunned.
Dingyuan Pill is not considered a high-level pill.
What's more, she has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and her true energy will no longer suddenly run away, so she doesn't need this pill.
"Okay, I'll take this."
Lin Qingxuan accepted the Dingyuan Pill and took out a colorful crystal stone and handed it over: "This is a colorful spirit stone I accidentally found. I give it to you."
Ye Zhao took the spirit stone and felt his palm getting warm, as if there was a faint spiritual energy flowing. It turned out to be a rare and top-grade spirit stone.
…
After a short rest, everyone set off again.
This secret realm is vast and deep, with a total of nine layers of mazes. It is said that there is an ancient relic hidden deep inside. As long as one can enter the ancient relic, it is possible to obtain all kinds of rare opportunities that can enable the monks to gain enlightenment, be reborn, and even break through the bottleneck.
Ye Zhao looked at the mark on the map and couldn't help but droop his eyelashes.
In her previous life, she had passed by this spiritual plant forest.
But at that time, those ungrateful people were running around, and she was forced to divert her attention to look for them.
She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She rushed to look for them all night long and was restless all the way. When she finally found them, the spiritual plant forest had been completely looted by other forces.
She had no choice but to give up and move elsewhere.
Later, when the secret realm ended, she learned from others that there were actually many opportunities hidden in that seemingly ordinary spiritual plant forest.
It is said that a sect disciple picked up the legendary Star-Patterned Golden Dew Grass, which had long been extinct, in the spiritual plant forest. This magical grass can be used to refine elixirs that can break through the Nascent Soul barrier, and its value is immeasurable.
She comforted herself at the time that the safety of her disciples was more important. If she missed this time, there would be next time.
But later, she never got the next chance...
Ye Zhao withdrew her thoughts and planned to walk along the central axis of the secret realm first. In this way, they would pass by the spiritual plant forest soon.
Lin Qingxuan watched her for a long time. When she came to her senses, she summoned her spirit lion mount, flipped over and sat on it, then reached out her hand and said, "Want to get on?"
Ye Zhao jumped onto the spirit lion and sat side by side with Lin Qingxuan.
The spirit lion's hooves were like the wind, and in an instant it turned into a silver shadow and rushed out of the dense forest.
Shen Yubai was still being dragged by the chains, his body covered in blood, and he kept struggling and rolling around instinctively.
Further behind them are the people from Xialing Peak who are making the arduous journey.
Ye Wange's forehead was covered with sweat, and it was obvious that she could not hold on any longer.
She was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Logically, she wouldn't feel tired even if she walked for a whole day. However, there seemed to be an inexplicable force suppressing her in this secret realm.
Her talent was average to begin with, and she relied on stacking pills to reach her current level of cultivation. She also suffered excessive damage from using secret techniques to kill monsters, so naturally she could not hold on any longer.
She looked at Ye Zhao and Lin Qingxuan leaping up on the spirit lions, and her teeth were itching with hatred.
Why!
She gritted her teeth and looked vicious.
Why can Ye Zhao travel with Lin Qingxuan, while she can only get Lin Qingxuan's contempt!
Pei Yan walked beside her, also a little confused.
He didn't expect that Ye Zhao could make Lin Qingxuan take the initiative to show goodwill.
He looked at the direction where Ye Zhao and Lin Qingxuan left, feeling mixed emotions.
Ye Zhao and Lin Qingxuan were so compatible that it was only natural for them to become friends, but in their previous life, they had a quarrel to the point of death, all because of Shen Yubai...
Ye Zhao can do so much for his disciples, how can he not be considered a good master?
Pei Yan followed behind Ye Wange, and was also exhausted and dizzy, with the scene in front of him constantly distorted.
He lowered his head and gasped for breath, and suddenly remembered something.
At the edge of the spiritual plant forest, Ye Wange first discovered a cave.
At that time, he was still following the team from Qingyue Peak, and saw from afar the disciples from Xialing Peak rushing into the cave entrance.
He had a vague feeling that the cave was extraordinary, so he quickly suggested that Ye Zhao go in and take a look.
Ye Zhao said it was very dangerous inside and would not let him go in under any circumstances.
Not long after, he heard that Ye Wange had discovered many extremely rare spiritual treasures in the cave.
She searched the cave extensively and obtained many treasures, which she distributed to her disciples after leaving the cave...
Pei Yan was still struggling with whether his decision to leave Qingyue Peak was right or wrong, but when he saw the spiritual plant forest gradually emerging in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This is the place where Ye Wange obtained a great opportunity in her previous life!
…
Ye Zhao also brought the disciples of Qingyue Peak here.
She jumped down from the spirit lion and said to Lin Qingxuan, "You have to be extra careful on the way back."
Lin Qingxuan nodded: "Okay!"
After watching her leave, Ye Zhaocai led the disciples of Qingyue Peak into the spiritual plant forest.
The forest was filled with thick fog, and the spiritual energy flowed like rippling water, carrying a faint ancient atmosphere.
Ye Wange was the first person to rush into the woods. She led several Xia Lingfeng disciples to search around. After a while, she keenly discovered a fluctuation of spiritual power.
She was pleasantly surprised. She pushed aside the dense vines and saw a crack in the rock wall. Spiritual energy was surging, and it seemed to lead to a deep cave.
Pei Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's here!"
He subconsciously looked towards Ye Zhao, but saw that the disciples of Qingyue Peak were still searching in an orderly manner, with no intention of fighting for it.
Su Luoxue also noticed the cave entrance. She walked forward and asked Ye Zhao in a low voice, "Master, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Ye Zhao glanced at the cave entrance and shook his head, saying, "I have a bad feeling. The closer I get to the cave entrance, the stronger the feeling will be... It's better not to go."
This is what she said to Pei Yan and the others in her previous life. In fact, she herself could not explain where this premonition came from. She just instinctively felt that she could not go there, but no one believed her at all.
She originally thought that the disciples behind her would be confused, or even regretful, upon hearing this, but she did not expect that none of the disciples of Qingyue Peak hesitated and all nodded.
"Then let's look around and see if we can find any clues to the ancient ruins."
"good!"
Pei Yan, on the other hand, excitedly urged Ye Wange: "Master, come in quickly!"
Ye Wange nodded and led the way into the cave.
Deep in the cave, vines grow everywhere.
Pei Yan and several Xia Lingfeng disciples followed Ye Wange into the cave. At first, it was just a winding stone path with a damp and muddy smell in the air.
They walked carefully, not daring to make too much noise.
But before they had gone far, someone suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
"I...why can't my spiritual power function?!"
Another person also echoed in panic: "Me too, my Qi can't circulate anymore!"
The disciples stopped and looked panicked, and for a moment there were cries of fear everywhere.
Pei Yan hurriedly checked himself and found that his dantian was like stagnant water, unable to mobilize even a trace of true energy.
He gasped.
