After observing for a while, Zhang Ling, unwilling to give up, released all of his divine sense to conduct a carpet-like search.
Before long, he suddenly walked towards the stone wall on the left.
This stone wall was a blackish-gray color, and at first glance, it seemed no different from an ordinary mountain wall. He reached out and touched it; it was icy cold, and even the tactile sensation was the same.
It seemed there was nothing unusual.
However, Zhang Ling's hand flashed with spiritual light, and he released a flying sword to attack the stone wall. With one strike, the rock collapsed. It seemed to be just an ordinary stone wall. He didn't stop; the flying sword shone brightly and continued to attack.
Earth and stone kept shattering, and before long, he had broken through this side of the stone wall, revealing another space behind it.
Zhang Ling was overjoyed and walked in with a magic tool.
Just now, he had amplified his divine sense to probe the surrounding stone walls. There was nothing unusual in other places, only this stone wall, when his divine sense penetrated three zhang into it, did he sense a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation.
With his current divine sense, probing materials like rock, he could only penetrate about three or four zhang deep. Ordinary cultivators would not do this, as it consumes a lot of divine sense.
Divine sense has endless wonderful uses. Besides simply probing aura, it has a certain degree of transparency against different objects. The denser the object, the more difficult it is for divine sense to penetrate.
Of course, there are also some special materials that divine sense cannot penetrate. He had only used this clumsy method of probing in order to find a way out.
On the other side of the stone wall was a space of moderate size.
Upon entering, clouds and mist drifted, with some pavilions and towers hidden among them. The ground was covered with a large number of flowers and plants, as well as trees of varying heights.
A gentle breeze blew, and the chirping of birds entered his ears. Several rare and exotic beasts ran out, and celestial cranes danced gracefully in the clouds.
What a celestial scene!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ling frowned and did not rashly enter. He probed with his divine sense but found nothing unusual.
Standing next to the stone wall, he carefully observed the scenery within. Whether it was the flowers, plants, or exotic beasts, they were all lifelike.
But how could such a scene appear here?
Zhang Ling stood in place and observed for a while, and then discovered something unusual: although these scenes were very real, they contained no vitality.
The flowers and plants had no floral fragrance, and the exotic beasts were somewhat stiff.
Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes, and the flying sword in his hand flashed with light, slashing towards a celestial crane. But the flying sword passed through the celestial crane without any change.
An illusion!
Zhang Ling immediately made a judgment and retracted his flying sword. But he did not enter rashly, fearing that there might be other dangers within.
Seeing this, he stood in place and observed for a full half-hour.
Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, and a strand of yellow spiritual light in his hand transformed into a long whip, which instantly wrapped around a white rabbit lying under a tree.
The white rabbit, trapped by the long whip made of yellow spiritual power, did not seem to struggle.
In the blink of an eye, the rabbit was pulled into his hand. The rabbit's body shone brightly and transformed into a white jade stone, with some flower and bird patterns engraved on it.
At the same time, the scenery in front of him blurred and disappeared. The original fairyland-like scene turned into a dilapidated scene.
Earlier, he had carefully observed for a while, and both the exotic beasts and the flowers, plants, and trees had slight traces of movement.
Only this white rabbit had been lying in place without any movement. He didn't expect that trying it out would actually guess correctly.
The white jade stone that the rabbit transformed into was the array eye of this environment. Taking this object away would dispel the illusion.
Looking at the white jade stone in his hand, Zhang Ling couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. This could be considered a rare treasure. With a flip of his hand, he put it into his storage bag.
Then, he released his flying sword, which transformed into several sword lights and stirred up the space in front of him, scattering some earth and stones. There were no other restrictions, and then he cautiously stepped forward.
This was a medicine field, only about half a mu in size. There were no spiritual herbs left in it, and the ground was covered with stones of various sizes.
Suddenly, next to a giant rock, there was only a dark, strange tree, standing there crookedly.
This seemed to be a section of spiritual wood, only half a person tall, with no leaves on it. Zhang Ling habitually swept it with his divine sense, but it was bounced back as soon as it touched the strange wood.
Zhang Ling immediately became interested, walked to the black wood, looked at it a few times, and after a few breaths, his breathing became rapid.
This... could it be Soul-Nourishing Wood?
He patted his storage bag and took out two jade slips, probing them with his divine sense and directly reading some relevant records.
It really is Soul-Nourishing Wood! I didn't expect I would have such an opportunity. Haha...
Zhang Ling stared at the black strange wood in front of him and suddenly laughed out loud.
Soul-Nourishing Wood is a divine wood in the cultivation world. It cannot be compared to ordinary spiritual wood. This object has no grade.
It is said that it only grows one inch in a thousand years. As long as you wear a small piece on your body, it can continuously nourish your soul and primordial spirit, slowly strengthening your divine sense!
In addition to the miraculous effect of nourishing the primordial spirit, this wood can house souls, preserving consciousness for a long time.
With these two major functions, it is incomparable to other things.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Ling uprooted the Soul-Nourishing Wood and put it into his storage bag.
There were no other spiritual objects here besides this divine wood.
Then, Zhang Ling searched the entire stone cave several times, but could not find any clues to the outside world.
For a time, he was a little frustrated, wondering if he was really going to be trapped here. Although he had obtained the Soul-Nourishing Wood and a magic weapon shield.
But if he couldn't get out, it would all be in vain.
This place was safe for the time being. He couldn't cultivate in peace here either. Now, of the Six Armor Bewildering God Formation in his hand, only the hexagonal formation plate was still there; the rest of the formation flags were lost when the stone boat shattered.
This place was located in the Nether Spring River. Not to mention the powerful One-Eyed Mysterious Snake, even those ghost-faced fish could easily rush in here.
There was no sense of security in staying here.
In the next two or three hours, Zhang Ling, unwilling to give up, searched the stone cave two or three more times, but still to no avail.
During this time, he also checked the broken altar outside the stone cave several times, but the altar was already broken, and the patterns on it could not be seen clearly.
Zhang Ling returned to the stone cave again, staring at the black jade screen in front of him, lost in thought.
His mind was full of thoughts. There was a cultivator's cave here, so how did the cultivators here get out?
Zhang Ling thought to himself, he always felt that he had overlooked something.
For a time, he had no idea.
Moo! Moo!
At this moment, the stone cave shook slightly a few times, and a loud roar entered his ears.
One-Eyed Mysterious Snake!
Zhang Ling's face changed. Was this giant snake nearby? He wondered how that woman, Dongfang Ya, was doing.
Cough... cough cough!
Then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the stone cave. Qing Guang scattered, and Dongfang Ya appeared before him.
This woman's hair was disheveled, and her face was bloodless. Her image could be said to be as wretched as possible.
Senior Dongfang.
Cough, have you found a way out?
Dongfang Ya raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at Zhang Ling, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "That giant snake is about to catch up."
Zhang Ling's face darkened when he heard this.
"I've searched several times, but there's no way out." Zhang Ling shook his head first, then his eyes lit up and he suddenly changed his tone.
"Except for this small pool, I haven't gone down."
Zhang Ling looked at the pool, his eyes solemn. He had probed this place several times before, but he had never gone down to this pool.
Before, he had always thought that there must be a way out here, and he would use the power of a teleportation array or something like that. Now that he thought about it, this was his inherent thinking.
This small pool was also very likely to lead to the outside world.
"Pool"
Dongfang Ya calmed her breath, and her powerful divine sense was released, and she roughly probed the situation here.
Her gaze also fell on the pool, and her face became a little cold.
Rumble! There was a loud noise outside, and without thinking, he knew that the One-Eyed Mysterious Snake was coming.
"This pool has a high probability of leading to the outside world."
Zhang Ling said this, and a protective spiritual light rose from his body, and he jumped up and jumped into the pool.
Dongfang Ya also followed without hesitation.
