canyon.
It's unbelievable that there's such a place in the Gobi Desert, with a long canyon that seems to divide the entire Gobi Desert in two.
The canyon is so deep that just looking at it makes one feel dizzy.
Occasionally, the cries of birds of prey can be heard in the canyon, indicating that the canyon is fraught with danger.
"This is it," Su Qing said.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go down.” Protector Jiang said.
Everyone here can fly on swords, so even if we jump off directly from there, it's no big deal.
“No, there are many birds of prey in this canyon. Some are not high-level, only fourth or fifth rank, but some are seventh or eighth rank. Moreover, the birds of prey mostly appear in flocks, which are very troublesome,” Su Qing said.
"Just kill them, why waste so much time talking?" Protector Jiang said impatiently.
I never expected that Protector Jiang would be such an impatient person.
Shui Qingchen and Qiu Feiyang were not in a hurry. After looking around the canyon, they said, "Su Qing, do you know that there is a path in this canyon?"
"What a joke! How could there be a road in a place like this?" Protector Jiang exclaimed in surprise.
At first glance, this canyon is just a sheer cliff; how could there possibly be a road?
Su Qing nodded slightly and said, "There is indeed a road."
As Su Qing spoke, she walked in one direction and saw a vine hanging down, stretching all the way to the bottom of the cliff.
"Go down a kilometer from here and you'll see a cave. From inside the cave, there's a passage that leads directly to the bottom of the cliff," Su Qing said, climbing up the vines first.
Seeing Su Qing go down, Xuan Qingye followed, and Protector Jiang was not to be outdone, so he followed as well.
So they lined up and hung on the vines on the cliff, slowly sliding down the cliff.
Su Qing led the way at the bottom, remaining vigilant at all times. She reminded her fellow disciples above, "There will be demonic beasts causing trouble here. Just be careful and defeat them."
As they were speaking, a fifth-tier flying bird, the Iron-feathered Griffin, came toward Su Qing.
The sharp claws reached for Su Qing's back, but unexpectedly, a huge Vermilion Bird wing suddenly appeared on Su Qing's back. With a flap of the wing, the Iron-Feathered Griffin was swatted off the cliff and its body was smashed to pieces.
It must be said that Su Qing, at the Nascent Soul stage, possesses truly astonishing combat power.
Two sixth-tier flying birds, the Sky-Covering Larks, seeing that Su Qing was a tough opponent, turned to attack Xuan Qingye. Who would have thought that Xuan Qingye would directly unleash a freezing spell, freezing the two Sky-Covering Larks so that they could no longer fly and plummeted straight down the cliff.
If it cannot be thawed halfway, it may fall to the bottom and be smashed to pieces.
Su Qing slid down the vines for a thousand meters and finally stopped on a stone platform. There was indeed a cave hidden by bushes there.
After Su Qing swept away the bushes, the cave was completely revealed.
Xuan Qingye also landed on the stone platform. Looking at the extremely secluded cave, she wondered to herself, how did Su Qing know about this place?
In fact, ever since entering the Gobi Desert, Xuan Qingye had a feeling that Su Qing was extremely familiar with it.
Logically speaking, Su Qing grew up in the small cultivation family Su family and later joined the Xuanling Sect, so it was impossible for her to have any connection with the Gobi Desert.
Each time, Su Qing would use what she had read in the Xuanling Sect's library as an excuse.
Although the Xuanling Sect's library contains many strange tales from the Wuyuan Continent, it certainly doesn't have as many details as Su Qing knows.
However, since Su Qing didn't say anything, Xuan Qingye also chose not to ask.
After all, everyone has secrets.
Xuan Qingye had never told anyone that he also had a little secret in his dantian.
After everyone climbed down from the vines, they were all surprised to see the cave that Su Qing was pointing to. They hadn't expected there to actually be a passage here.
Su Qing was the first to enter the passage. The passage went downhill and the slope was somewhat steep, but still within a manageable range.
It has to be said that this passage is somewhat like a spiral slide.
As they slid down behind Su Qing, everyone noticed that the spiritual energy around them was becoming denser.
The entire structure of this passage is made of stone. I never imagined that there would be such stones under the sand in the Gobi Desert.
Finally, Su Qing stopped, and a blue celestial fire light illuminated the entire passage. Only then did everyone realize that they had finally arrived at a stone chamber.
This stone chamber is quite large. Judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to be naturally formed; it looks more like it was deliberately dug out by someone.
There are even stone tables and stone benches in the stone chamber.
There were some words left on the stone wall. Protector Jiang went closer to take a look and his expression suddenly changed.
This... this was actually left behind by an elder of the Xuanling Sect.
"This is actually the place where Ancestor Gu Yue Li once cultivated!" Protector Jiang said in surprise.
Su Qing lowered her eyes. Who could argue with that? This was a place where her master had stayed before he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
However, when Gu Yueli was training in the Gobi Desert, there weren't many demonic cultivators. Even if there were demonic cultivators in the Gobi Desert, they were just ordinary demonic cultivators with combat power that didn't even reach the Core Formation stage.
"Could it be that the ninth-tier demonic beasts here have some connection with Ancestor Gu Yue Li?" Protector Jiang looked at Su Qing, and then he saw the handwriting left by Ancestor Gu Yue Li on the stone wall.
Bored with cultivation here, he fought a ninth-tier demon beast. The two fought for three days and three nights, and finally collapsed from exhaustion.
From then on, the human and the monster formed a friendship.
Protector Jiang's expression turned strange. He said, "Su Qing, could it be that Elder Gu Yue Li sent you to find his demon beast friend?"
Gu Yueli had never mentioned it to her, but she had been here in her previous life and knew about these connections.
"I also want to come and challenge the demon beasts that Master fought, and see just how strong they are." As soon as Su Qing finished speaking, she heard the cry of a bird.
Then, a black-feathered roc flew in.
Upon seeing this, everyone noticed that the black-feathered roc had a wingspan of ten meters, an extremely robust body, and the aura of a ninth-tier demon beast emanating from it made everyone tremble.
However, there was actually a cultivator on the back of this black-feathered roc!
The black-feathered roc was slightly taken aback when it discovered that there were so many cultivators here, but it quickly shook its feathers and entered battle mode!
Protector Jiang immediately went on guard.
Here, he held the highest position in the Xuanling Sect, and he considered himself to be the strongest in cultivation. Therefore, he should be at the forefront at this time.
Unexpectedly, Su Qing raised her hand, and a bolt of lightning appeared—the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning that her master had taught her.
As the Azure Dragon's lightning shadow appeared, the black-feathered roc's eyes lit up.
It seems that the Black Feather Roc recognized that Su Qing and Ancestor Gu Yue Li used the same cultivation method.
Then, the black-feathered roc shook the cultivator off its back and let out a cry towards Su Qing. Su Qing went over to take a look and found that it was an old acquaintance.
Shen Qingfan's face was pale, her breath was weak, and black demonic energy swirled around her.
