Chapter 162 Entering the Cave Heaven, Harvesting Spiritual Artifacts
"Crimson Kun!"
The elder in the lead recognized the origin of the giant sea creature. He scanned it with his divine sense and saw that the creature was dark red and stained with blood as it emerged from the sea, dominating the sky and the water like a mountain. He was immediately horrified and turned to flee for his life.
The six true ones scattered in panic. When they returned to the near sea, the remaining survivors found that only four of the seven true ones remained. They looked at each other in bewilderment and remained silent for a moment.
Driven by greed, they were still not satisfied with obtaining a near-third-tier spiritual vein. Now that only four of them remain, can they still defend Xiaoxin Island?
The remaining four people felt a mix of emotions.
……
On the outer sea, the 777-mile-long red Kun swallowed the person who opened the Blood Heart Cave, circled in the sky once, and then dived down again, preparing to hide in the sea.
The Blood Heart Altar was the deep sea in Li Jieqing's eyes, but in its eyes, it was nothing more than a mudflat on the shore. It would surface and swallow it whole, thus ending the Blood Heart Sect's mission from back then.
As the red Kun was diving down.
Above the clouds, a cyan and crimson phantom flew over, revealing itself to be the Demon King of Annihilation, and cried out, "Fellow Daoist Chi Kun, please wait!"
The sound was thunderous.
But the giant creature in the sea did not respond; it fell back into the sea and completely closed its mouth.
Li Jieqing, who was inside, also completely lost his senses at this moment. His body sank continuously in the darkness, as if he had touched the gale layer, and kept sliding out of the mouth of the red Kun.
The world seemed to turn upside down, and I felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Li Jieqing withdrew his divine sense and counted the time. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, suddenly, everything became clear before his eyes.
The light reappeared, and the clouds rose.
A vast and boundless mountain and sea came into view, with the red Kun outside stretching for hundreds of miles.
And the land inside its body is boundless!
His body continued to press down, and faster and faster. Li Jieqing barely managed to memorize the surrounding terrain before everything went black and he landed suddenly.
……
……
"What a wild and desolate Blood Heart Cave Heaven..."
Li Jieqing, who had fallen headfirst, got up from the ground, shook his head, and used his divine sense to survey his surroundings.
He was in a mountain, with towering ancient trees overhead and dense forests all around, the leaves of which obscured the sunlight and the ground was rotten and damp.
His divine sense spread out to the sky above the mountains and forests, where he saw a vast sea of trees all around, with the occasional mournful howl of apes and the low chirping of insects and birds in the distance.
There wasn't a single person there.
In addition, the spiritual energy is quite abundant.
Li Jieqing's divine sense swept across the area but found no trace of spiritual veins. However, the spiritual energy in this mountain forest was even stronger than that on the surface of the Snake Sea, nurturing countless ancient trees and hiding countless demons.
"roar!"
A furious ape roar came from a hundred miles away.
It was Li Jieqing's unbridled scanning divine sense that was discovered.
Li Jieqing withdrew his divine sense, gathered his disheveled hair, straightened the crooked jade hairpin, then turned around with a flick of his sleeve, his figure disappearing from the spot.
Soon after, an ancient ape passed through the area, its mouth full of fangs. Its arms were covered in rock and soil armor, and its shiny yellow-orange fur swayed with its movements.
The ancient ape surveyed the area, found nothing amiss, snorted a few times, and then turned back.
Once the unknown monster was gone, Li Jieqing reappeared from the same spot, removed the concealment talisman from his body, and pondered with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He didn't know what kind of ancient ape it was; perhaps he could find a record of it by looking back at the Blood Heart Sect's transmission stele.
Judging from its demonic aura alone, it was clear that this ancient ape was undoubtedly a second-tier great demon, and it seemed that this mountain forest was its territory.
Besides the ancient apes, Li Jieqing also vaguely sensed traces of many powerful demons around him. These were powerful demons that were rarely seen on Xiaoxin Island, and there was actually a group of them here.
No wonder the place was deserted.
So, are there any native inhabitants of the Blood Heart Sect in this vast Blood Heart Cave Heaven...?
After pondering for a moment, Li Jieqing put aside the threat of the ancient ape for the time being. He was somewhat confident in his ability to hide, and the monster's methods were simple, so it would be difficult for it to detect him under normal circumstances.
Turning around, Li Jieqing looked towards the northern boundary of this mountain forest.
When they fell, they were separated. He could see clearly that Fairy Shecai was the first to separate and had gone somewhere, while the Blood Heart Sect's ruins altar, which had been swallowed by the Crimson Kun, fell to the north, not far from him.
Within that altar, there was also the Spirit Devouring Fiend.
"I thought I had no chance with that Devouring Spirit Fiend, but it seems there's some progress after all?"
Li Jieqing sat cross-legged under the ancient tree, planning to go there after he had dealt with the deep-sea harvest.
According to the few words recorded on the Transmission Stone Tablet, it is known that after the designated time, a guiding light would come from outside the Blood Heart Sect to teleport the disciples who were training in the Blood Heart Cave Heaven out.
As for Li Jieqing, this imposter disciple, he obviously didn't have that follow-up and will probably stay in the Blood Heart Cave for a long time.
Instead of wandering around searching for treasures in front of the great demon as soon as you land, it would be better to head north and find a safe and secure place along the way to build a new cave dwelling, family business, and cultivation.
Wasn't the reason I was prepared to risk crossing the sea to the west for this very reason?
"This bracelet was torn by the power of the Blood Heart Sect's altar, and the seal is damaged. It can't be repaired anyway. I wonder how much longer it can last?"
"This bracelet was torn by the power of the Blood Heart Sect's altar, and the seal is damaged. It can't be repaired anyway. I wonder how much longer it can last?"
After the ancient ape left, Li Jieqing meditated and recovered his magical power for a while, first taking out his magical artifact, the jade bracelet.
While he was releasing the power transmission stele into the jade bracelet space, the Fairy of Luxury Colors used the power of the altar to forcibly extract the domino key, breaking one corner of the restriction.
"That scoundrel She Cai, he actually knows my treasure so well, humph!"
At this moment, Li Jieqing held it in his hand and saw that the originally smooth and flawless jade bracelet now had some cracks inside.
He then probed the jade bracelet with his divine sense, first checking the items stored inside. Finding that everything was still intact and had not been damaged during his entry into the Blood Heart Cave, Li Jieqing was relieved. He then carefully examined the damage to the jade bracelet's restrictions.
After searching along the restriction for a while, they finally discovered that the problem was with the exit of the spiritual artifact. The exit of the jade bracelet space had been roughly pulled open and could no longer be closed, meaning that anyone could take things from it from now on.
This……
Li Jieqing didn't know how to comment on the current state of the magical artifacts, only thinking to himself that this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. While the jade bracelet was broken, he had, conversely, picked up two new magical artifacts from Master Baocheng.
One is a magic sword, and the other is a precious pearl.
The magic sword was intact, but the pearl, having been breached by the invisible heavenly sword, was somewhat dull and appeared to be damaged.
The original owner was dead. Li Jieqing probed with his divine sense, first finding the divine imprint within the pearl. After much effort, he erased the divine imprint, re-established ownership, and examined the restrictions within the pearl.
This bead is called the Thick Earth Bearing Treasure Bead. It was crafted within the Ruyi Sect and is suitable for use with the Five Elements techniques, with the Earth element being the best. Normally, one can accumulate magical power within it, and during battles, it can enhance the holder's physical body. Not only can it defend against external spells, but it can also increase the holder's magical power and make their physique infinitely strong. It can be said to have many wonderful uses.
