“Now that we've entered the Spirit Sea Secret Realm, there's no turning back. We, the Thousand Mountains Sect, will rest and then venture in to explore,” Cheng Ziyue said with a firm tone.
Opportunity always accompanies danger. The moment they chose to enter the Spirit Sea for training, they were mentally prepared to face life and death.
With opportunity before them, how could they give up?
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly after hearing this. Perhaps this was the difference between him and normal cultivators.
When faced with the unknown, he would deliberate carefully, prioritizing his own safety, and if necessary, he would choose to give up on the spot. Opportunity was optional for him.
But for cultivators who have been training outside for many years, their achievements today are based on perseverance and courage. Only by constantly venturing and training can they improve.
Once they stop, they will be cut off from the immortal path.
Cultivators defy the heavens. If they don't venture and fight, they would have long been reduced to dust by the years.
“Elder Chen, I know you don't lack natural treasures, but to express my gratitude, I still have to give you something. These are some precious medicinal herbs we collected in the secret realm, please accept them.”
Cheng Ziyue took out a dozen or so precious medicinal herbs and handed them over one by one.
To Chen Changsheng, who was wealthy, these medicinal herbs were still considered good, but to some major forces, they were rare treasures.
It could be seen that Cheng Ziyue was quite generous and genuinely grateful.
Chen Changsheng didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the medicinal herbs, then sat down on the spot to adjust his breath and recover.
After fighting his way out of the cockroach swarm and experiencing a full-speed long-distance escape, not to mention the exhaustion of the Thousand Mountains Sect, he himself felt deeply tired.
The desert within tens of thousands of miles was gloomy and dark, and gusts of piercingly cold wind blew into the stone cave, causing a whirring sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The bonfire lit by the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples crackled from time to time.
Chen Changsheng looked towards the inside of the stone cave where he couldn't see his fingers, and used magic to condense an avatar to sneak in.
The avatar jumped into the cave and sank all the way down. After about two to three thousand meters, it finally reached the bottom layer of the stone cave where it could gain a foothold.
Surprisingly, the inside of the stone cave was not completely dark. There were many luminous metals and spirit stones on the rock walls that could be mined.
The colorful and faint light merged together, making the bottom layer of the stone cave relatively clear even without magic.
Chen Changsheng's avatar went deep into the investigation.
The number of forked cave entrances gradually increased, winding and turning. Some tunnels were connected, while others were dead ends.
Suddenly, a low moan came from behind.
The avatar suddenly turned its head, only to feel a darkness in front of it, and the avatar shattered on the spot!
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes and said with a slightly condensed expression: “There are demon beasts or evil beings in the cave. Sect Leader Cheng, how is your situation?”
He turned his head to look at Cheng Ziyue, who had also first used an avatar to enter the stone cave to investigate, but took a different route from him.
Cheng Ziyue said solemnly: “I didn't encounter any demon beasts or evil beings, nor did I find any natural treasures. My avatar was eventually destroyed by poisonous gas. Let's explore a few more times.”
For the sake of prudence, the two of them condensed avatars again and descended.
After repeated attempts for more than ten times, the result was nothing.
Then Chen Changsheng controlled the avatar to take the same route, and finally discovered the problem.
“There may be a natural formation or spatial laws in the stone cave. Even if we take the same path, we will encounter different scenarios.” Chen Changsheng said in a deep voice: “Once we go down, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up again!”
Cheng Ziyue frowned upon hearing this and said: “Opportunity and crisis are intertwined. This stone cave is so magical, it must hide many opportunities. The magic avatars are too weak and break when they encounter danger, and I haven't cultivated a Nascent Soul avatar…”
He sighed, gritted his teeth and said: “I can only go down in person to find out what's going on.”
A God Transformation stage cultivator can refine an avatar with the Nascent Soul.
Unlike the fragile magic avatars, the Nascent Soul avatar possesses 60% to 80% of the original owner's cultivation and masters all the original owner's Dao techniques.
However, the Nascent Soul avatar is not something that can be refined at will. It requires corresponding natural treasures and the use of special secret methods to cut off half of the Nascent Soul to store it.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, cultivators will not condense avatars, after all, the division of the Nascent Soul will cause the cultivator's body to temporarily decline in cultivation.
Unless there is an extremely important matter that leads to a lack of avatars, cultivators will specifically refine Nascent Soul avatars.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and decided to explore the front with the Thousand Mountains Sect first.
The other party's experience in training is above him. Following Cheng Ziyue and others can avoid stepping into pitfalls, and it's not too late to act alone when encountering unexpected situations.
Therefore, Cheng Ziyue held the rattle drum magic weapon in his hand and led the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples to jump into the stone cave one after another.
Chen Changsheng followed closely behind.
The group marched mightily into the bottom layer of the cave, and many disciples were full of curiosity about the surrounding things.
They had been wandering in the desert for a month, and besides the desert, there were only evil beings. The harvest of opportunities was very few. Now they finally encountered a decent place.
“We should have found the right place. This place looks like it hides a lot of opportunities!” A Thousand Mountains Sect disciple said excitedly.
The little junior sister next to him nodded happily: “Finally, it's no longer an endless desert. The Spirit Sea Secret Realm is full of sand, which is simply unreasonable.”
“The Spirit Sea Secret Realm has been famous for a long time. I don't think it's strange that the Spirit Sea Secret Realm is a bit larger than other secret realms.”
The Thousand Mountains Sect disciples explored the cave while whispering.
Their conversation also reached Chen Changsheng and Cheng Ziyue's ears.
“Elder Chen, have you ever encountered other sects and factions?” Cheng Ziyue asked casually.
Chen Changsheng shook his head: “You are the first group of cultivators I have encountered. Before, all I encountered were evil beings, but what I want to tell you is that the Spirit Sea Secret Realm has signs of spatial overlap, and many forces are distributed in different spaces.”
“Spatial overlap in a small world!?”
Cheng Ziyue's expression was slightly startled.
He didn't know how Chen Changsheng came to this analysis, but the elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage would not talk nonsense.
“No wonder we have searched for so long and only encountered two sects!”
“Oh? Which two sects did you encounter?” Chen Changsheng asked curiously.
Cheng Ziyue answered truthfully: “Heaven River Palace and Dan Crane Sect.”
As they spoke, the group came to a fork in the stone cave.
Before the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples could open their mouths to ask, Cheng Ziyue shook the rattle drum in his hand, forming a streamer curve in the dong-dong sound.
“Elder Chen, my magic weapon can search for treasures. Although there is only a general direction, it can reduce a lot of ineffective exploration time for us.”
“Indeed, not bad, let's follow the guidance.”
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, and followed the Thousand Mountains Sect and others, flying up and following the guidance deep into the stone cave.
