Wen Jiajia hesitated again and again, but finally steeled herself and confessed.
"Um, if I said I know what a dungeon beyond five stars is, would you all believe me?"
"Speak—" Yue Qi remained noncommittal. Wen Jiajia had always been someone who had more tricks up her sleeve than she was cunning, so he wasn't surprised at all.
Wen Jiajia pouted, still somewhat unwilling. She had paid a considerable price to obtain this information from the system, you know.
"As far as I know, there are three levels beyond five-star dungeons: Death Level, Nightmare Level, and Hell Level. The Azure Dragon Coffin Dungeon we experienced before was one of the Death Level dungeons. And the Falling Flower Cave Maiden dungeon we are facing now is the Nightmare Level dungeon."
At this point, she cautiously glanced at everyone, and seeing that they only gasped in surprise and didn't react in any other way, she grew bolder and continued.
"But don't worry, everyone. The Hell-level dungeon is the end of everything. There are only three in the entire World of Rules and Mysteries, and everyone will know about them in the near future. I don't mind telling you in advance."
"The three hellish dungeons are Seven Star Tower, Qingcheng Mountain, and the unknown."
"Unknown?!?" "Unknown!"
"unknown?"
"What the hell is 'unknown'?"
"The Seven Star Tower?!"
A group of people spoke up simultaneously with perfect tacit understanding, and the words "Seven Star Tower" stood out conspicuously amidst the unknown.
Everyone turned to look at the person who spoke, and sure enough, it was Yue Qi.
Wen Jiajia sighed. As someone who knew the secret of Famen Temple, she could understand Yue Qi's shock. However, given their relationship, even if she told him directly, he would probably think she was crazy.
"As far as I know—" Yan Che suddenly realized, "The Seven Star Pagoda is a crucial location within the Famen Temple sect, and also a place where eminent monks cultivate and pass away. Wen Jiajia, the Seven Star Pagoda you're talking about, could it be this one?"
With his explanation, everyone finally understood why Yue Qi reacted that way. After all, the mention of the "Seven Star Pagoda" was practically announcing to the world that Famen Temple was a place of great terror!
It's no wonder Yue Qi couldn't accept it; anyone would find it unacceptable. After all, Famen Temple is currently the leader of the Xuanmen sect, and Master Yijing is the only person in the Xuanmen sect who has transcended the illusions of life and death. His existence is the backbone of the entire Xuanmen sect.
When everyone looked at Yue Qi again, their eyes involuntarily filled with sympathy.
Seeing that Yue Qi was still struggling with the question, Yan Che took the initiative to speak up, "Never mind him for now, continue. What does 'unknown' mean?"
Wen Jiajia's expression was complicated. "What I mean is, I don't know either. However, the Qingcheng Mountain instance of the three major instances is quite easy to find. According to my information, there are eighteen Yaksha Ghost Tokens hidden in the Qingcheng Mountain instance. Once you collect them all, they are said to have earth-shattering value. Of course, we don't know exactly what they are yet."
"Alright, let's get to the point—" Yue Qi had somehow come to his senses and interjected in a flat tone.
"Alright—" Wen Jiajia wisely stopped talking, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yue Qi take out a stack of Xuanmen teleportation talismans and throw them into the sky.
Pretending not to notice, she continued, "Back to our Falling Flower Cave female dungeon, as a Nightmare-level dungeon, it's certainly not as terrifying as the three Hell-level dungeons, after all, those are the ultimate dungeons. But the difficulty of clearing it is definitely not easy either, so even though we've come out of Cangyun Mountain, I still have some concerns—"
She deliberately glanced at Yue Qi a few more times, and then added, "Based on the information I obtained at great cost, the real way to clear this Falling Flower Cave female dungeon is probably with that girl named Ami. So, our best approach is to explore this legendary Cangyun Mountain again based on the clues provided by Ami."
After hearing Wen Jiajia's words, everyone fell into silence. Among those who were silent, Yan Che's expression became particularly complicated.
His face alternated between pale and flushed, and his hands were clenched into tight fists, indicating that he did indeed know something.
Yue Qi had no choice but to give up on the Seven Star Pagoda he had been longing for, since that wasn't the most pressing matter at the moment.
"Yan Che, it's not a good plan to keep some things hidden any longer. So, can you tell me now?"
Yan Che clenched his fist again, repeating this several times, until he finally gave up completely, looking utterly dejected.
"It seems I have no choice but to speak now."
He casually surveyed the area before making a startling statement: "If I'm not mistaken, their so-called Cave God is currently imprisoned in Cangyun Mountain."
"Really?" This news is really too explosive.
Yan Che knew they wouldn't believe him so easily; after all, he was only guessing at the moment.
“My parents were originally from the Zhang family. The reason they escaped from the old house was ultimately because of a special bloodline in Qingqing’s body. This bloodline was passed down from the Cave God bloodline of Wuyun Mountain.”
This news shocked everyone. Yan Che was saying that he and Yan Qing actually possessed the bloodline of the Cave God.
But how could that be?
The exact nature of this cave deity, which has been worshipped by the Eighteen Villages for over a thousand years, remains unclear, yet its lineage still exists today.
Wen Jiajia's reaction was unusually strong: "Could it be that this cave god is actually a person? How can anyone live for thousands of years? How is that possible?"
Yes, how could that be?
Yan Che gave a self-deprecating laugh. He knew that even if he said it aloud, few people would believe him. This was also the reason why he had hesitated before.
After all, this was indeed quite counterintuitive. He could understand their skepticism.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to remain tense, Yue Qi finally had to take the initiative to speak, agreeing to visit the Great Shaman together the next day, and then told everyone to go and rest.
That night.
There was a knock on Yue Qi's door, and when he opened it, it was indeed Yan Che.
He got up and let the other person in. The two of them sat down at the table as if they were having a long talk.
"Speak, is there any necessary connection between the bloodline in your veins and Yan Qing's abduction?"
