In front of the huge stone door, a dim blue circle was faintly visible.
But Chu Yao's gaze did not stay on the strange gate at this moment, but was cast towards the stone wall to the west——
The surrounding walls are densely carved with pictures.
There are countless living beings with distorted expressions under the broken sky, there are immortals who can ride on clouds and move mountains and seas, and there are warriors with swords and weapons who build a wall of flesh and blood.
There are immortals and mortals, but the pictures mostly show hideous and terrifying monsters.
These monsters crushed the sky, tore the earth, and tore apart the rivers and seas. They came in groups and acted recklessly in the human cities, leaving no grass growing wherever they went.
Although there were some differences in details, Chu Yao could still tell from the shapes of those monsters that they were alien insects.
"Senior Sister, could this be..."
Bai Yuejian also looked over here along with Chu Yao, and they thought of the same thing: "As you think, this may be a record of an insect swarm outbreak many years ago. It's just that the specific year is no longer verifiable."
"It seems that it is no coincidence that we encountered this natural disaster of insect swarms." Chu Yao nodded and looked at the mural below.
According to the description in the murals, after the insect plague broke out, countless civilians were killed first, and then the court officials and soldiers stepped forward with swords, halberds and spears, but they could not hold out for long, and the magnificent palace was destroyed overnight.
Then, cultivators descended from the sky, holding magic mirrors and riding flying swords, fighting a life-and-death battle with those strange insects. However, the situation was still not optimistic, with corpses scattered all over the ground and wailing everywhere.
In the desperate situation, powerful immortals finally came to the world: they rode on clouds and mist, with halos around them and fairy wool floating behind them. As soon as they appeared, they were worshipped by thousands of monks.
These powerful monks could move mountains with a wave of their hands and fill the sea with their feet, appearing to be nearly omnipotent. They transformed into giants that shone as brightly as the sun and moon, and engaged in a desperate battle with the giant alien insects.
The mural also specifically depicts the appearance of three powerful monks:
A man in a Taoist robe holding a three-foot green sword, with a calm demeanor and a radiant aura all around him; a strong man with a broad back and strong arms, carrying a meteor hammer on his shoulder; a woman with an ancient scroll stretched out at her side, a star map surrounding her, and an imposing heroic air.
These three people are particularly eye-catching among all the powerful people, like the moon surrounded by stars, and are regarded as the most respected.
Unfortunately, there were no words on the mural, so the two could not find out the names of the three monks.
There is still a clear thread up to this point, but the following murals seem a bit abstract.
These powerful monks eliminated countless alien insects and finally launched a final battle with the leader of the alien insects.
But the leader of those alien insects was actually a big ball covered with hair.
It's really just a ball of hair, without even any other organs.
Wherever the ball of hair went, the sky and the earth turned upside down. Under its incredible power, thousands of monks turned into ashes.
This battle shattered the sky and shook the sea of stars, which was truly breathtaking, but we can get a glimpse of it from the murals.
At the critical moment, the three strongest monks turned into three streams of light, tore a crack in the sky, and threw themselves into the starry sky with the ball of fur.
Then the remaining monks turned into streams of light, and eventually formed large formations, sealing the remaining alien insects in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
The mural ended here. Chu Yao took a quick look at it, not quite understanding it:
"Senior Sister, could it be that those formations were created by ancient cultivators?"
"I'm not sure if there's such a technique." Bai Yuejian pondered. "Perhaps this last mural is just a metaphor, describing the painstaking efforts of the remaining monks to seal these strange insects again."
"It seems that big fur ball is the mother of the alien insects." Chu Yao nodded. "I just wonder if these three seniors succeeded in the end... They can actually turn into giants? What kind of Taoism is that?"
"Hmm..." Bai Yuejian frowned, as if recalling something. "There seems to be a record of a similar Taoist method in the Tianyin Sect, called 'Law of Heaven and Earth', but it has long been lost... This kind of magic is not something that a Yuanying can perform."
"The scroll next to this senior is obviously some earth-shattering ancient immortal treasure. It's so cool, I want it too."
"You want everything." Bai Yuejian complained silently, "Let's not talk about this for now. I had already checked this door before you came."
The two walked towards the stone gate shrouded by the formation, and their footsteps echoed in the empty stone hall.
"This isn't a sealing formation, but a teleportation formation." Bai Yuejian's eyes flashed. "I explored it a bit and found that this teleportation has a threshold limit. Only those below the Nascent Soul level can enter."
"Sounds so familiar." Chu Yao tilted her head. "By the way, isn't the secret trial realm we created for our disciples something similar? Could it be..."
"Indeed, this should also be a similar secret realm!" Bai Yuejian's mouth curled up. "Due to the lack of spiritual energy, this place has been silent for a long time. It is probably because of the revival of spiritual energy in recent years that it has reappeared in the world. I just don't know if this cave is the heartland of the remaining sect or left by our ancestors."
"No matter what, this is our chance, Senior Sister!" Chu Yao's eyes sparkled. "If there's a cave, there must be a secret treasure!"
"That's probably the case. However, there's no need to rush. This cave is in our hands, and no one else can take it away. It's best to make sufficient preparations before going in to explore."
"Okay, then let's wait until I form the golden elixir before making a decision!" Chu Yao rubbed his hands ready.
She had long been tired of hunting alien insects in the wasteland all day long, and now she finally had the opportunity to show her skills again!
"Since anyone below the Nascent Soul stage can enter, then doesn't that mean Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators also have a chance?" Chu Yao thought, "Once we find out the truth, maybe we can also bring Xiao Yaozi and Yueyue along."
"You're really thinking about them now. Is this still my junior sister who only cares about herself? Aren't you afraid that they will snatch the treasure that's rightfully yours?"
"If they rob them, that's their own chance. If there's something good happening, they should think of everyone." Chu Yao waved her hand.
"Without further delay, I will gather the remaining demon cores and go into seclusion tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll help you protect the law then."
The two were already familiar with the road, so they left much faster than they came in.
Chu Yao went to the spiritual field to look after the spiritual stones for a while, then went to check on Xiao Ye with her senior sister, and then rode a motorcycle to Lenghu Town again.
There are still more than twenty pills left to the reserved quantity, and this amount of demon pills is easy to find. Chu Yao only needs to use the equivalent amount of cash to buy them from Baldy.
When she arrived at Lenghu Town, she learned that the old Taoist priest named Qingxuan had already taken the next bus to Xindu. He was quite quick.
"Oh, I forgot to tell Senior Sister about this. Maybe the cave on the Intoxicating Peak is real?"
Chu Yao glanced at her phone, but Xiaohuo hadn't replied yet. She had been very busy lately.
After collecting all the demon pills, Chu Yao rushed back to the cave without stopping, simply cleaned his room, and began to prepare for forming the pills.
