Xiang Sheng's eyes turned slightly cold, and as soon as he thought about it, the paper figure that was stagnant at the entrance of the corridor immediately flew into the depths of the corridor.
Xiang Sheng fell far behind. After following the bloodstain and passing through two vertically intersecting corridors, his vision suddenly became clear.
In a huge underground cave, a giant snake demon covered in blood was lying in a pool of green water, breathing softly.
Wisps of green smoke rose from the surface of the pool, and the bloody wounds on the giant snake's body had mostly healed.
The giant snake demon never thought that Xiang Sheng could catch up here. At this moment, the enemy was already in front of it, but it didn't notice it at all and was still concentrating on healing its wounds.
Xiang Sheng's expression was calm. He swung his right hand and two white sword lights flashed like mercury, cutting along the wound on the snake's body and instantly cutting the giant snake demon into three pieces.
"hiss!!!"
The giant snake demon's eyes widened, and under the severe pain, it raised its head and let out a miserable howl, struggling to death in the pool water.
A large amount of blood was spilled, dyeing the pool water blood red and illuminating the entire cave with blood red.
Xiang Sheng waited quietly at the entrance until the snake was completely motionless. Then he jumped onto the snake's head, smashed the giant snake's eyebrows with a punch without saying a word, and took out a fist-sized crystal.
Without the crystal, the giant snake demon's huge body quickly shriveled up.
Xiang Sheng used his spiritual sense to explore every inch of the snake's body and found that the snake's body was just an empty shell, without any demonic spirit or anything like that.
She raised her hand and glanced at the tri-colored crystal in her hand.
Is this thing the life core of the giant snake demon?
Having lost its life core, it seems that it is really dead this time.
With this thought in mind, Xiang Sheng sat down directly on the snake's head and carefully looked at the crystal in his hand.
The crystal is tri-colored and much purer than the crystals of the human-faced snake monsters in the valley, but the smell is exactly the same, with an indescribable strange fragrance.
Xiang Sheng couldn't find the source for a moment, so he didn't bother and jumped down, landing at the edge of the pool.
The clear water in the pool had become turbid and blood-red due to the stirring of the giant snake monster, but after standing still for a moment, it regained its original clarity and even had a hint of vitality than before.
Xiang Sheng inserted his fingertips into it and sensed it for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyebrow.
Although this pool has healing powers, its energy is extremely violent and not suitable for human absorption. Its properties are somewhat similar to those of the Wanlian Pearl.
It takes the Huo Yin Demon King and his wife a thousand years to refine a Wanlian Pearl. Here, there is a huge pool for healing the demon race, which is enough to hold a thousand Wanlian Pearls. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was formed naturally.
Could this underground space be the lair of some ancient demon clan?
No!
wrong.
The corridor at the teleportation array was very neat, and the spirit stone lamps on the wall were not much different from those used in the current cultivation world. They were obviously the work of the human race.
Moreover, the ancient teleportation array was complicated and obscure, and it didn't seem like something that the demon race could comprehend.
Only the human race.
She had specifically checked the records related to the teleportation array in the Wanmai Sword Sect. Even in the ancient world of cultivation, the teleportation array was not something that ordinary cultivators could afford, and was mostly controlled by large clans.
If this clan had been prosperous enough in ancient times, they might not only have mastered this kind of teleportation array that can cross regions, but they might also have clues about the starry sky teleportation array!
Before she went into seclusion, Qin Tianque said that the world here was blocked and the only way to leave this cultivation planet was to open the inheritance tower.
She only believed half of it, and the remaining half still needed to be verified by herself...
Xiang Sheng's thoughts were turning in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving, and he put the entire pool along with the giant snake's corpse into the blood ring.
She had been in seclusion for forty years, refining two million refining beads, perfecting her physical body, and her true essence cultivation had reached the peak of the late out-of-body stage.
Although he had not practiced the flawless sword intent specifically, he was touched when he was comprehending the sword intent of time. He had comprehended 49% of it and could break through the realm with the sword intent at any time and reach the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Once she breaks through, her body can continue to be tempered, and this pool of clear water will then be useful.
However, her current cultivation of true essence is far inferior to that of her physical body. Even if the sword intent makes up for the deficiency, the lethality is still far from that of her physical body.
The most taboo in the way of cultivation is imbalance.
She had a premonition that if she rashly broke through under such extreme circumstances, there might be great hidden dangers in her future cultivation.
This problem cannot be solved by seclusion.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng sighed silently, put his thoughts aside, and turned his attention back to the cave.
She explored for a while and soon discovered that in addition to the corridor she came from, there was also a rather hidden path in the cave.
The path was pitch black, without any spirit stone lamps. The entrance was an irregular circle, probably the passage used by the giant snake demon.
Xiang Sheng used his old trick again, controlling the paper figures to walk ahead, while he himself fell far behind, gradually disappearing into the darkness. "Thank you for your concern, dear readers! I haven't updated for a while because I was in a bad mood and went out to relax. Now I'm back and will resume updating. Happy National Day everyone!"
