Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1020 Exploring the Mysterious Cave
Qianyu Island.

After the three sects' grand ceremony ended, there was still a jubilant scene inside the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

The entire sect was in a state of busyness.

Not only is it necessary to prepare for the relocation of the sect in advance, but the large tracts of spiritual land and mineral veins within the Lingze area also require the sect's monks to be stationed there.

The vast Lingze Realm is a great opportunity for all disciples of the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

The expansion of Qianshui Yuling Sect further began to benefit the sect’s disciples.

For a time, the Qianshui Yuling Sect was thriving.

at the same time.

Three figures quietly left Qianyu Island.

Above the blue sea.

A green lotus platform was flying in the sky.

Mysterious flying figures of birds are flying around the lotus platform, like a gorgeous painting.

"Brother Qing's flying treasure looks quite impressive."

On the lotus platform, Yan Yingjun said with a smile on his face.

"How can a mere flying treasure be compared with Brother Daoist Yan's methods?" Li Qing said with a smile.

Yan Yingjun smiled awkwardly and changed the subject directly.

"According to my repeated searches in ancient books, I feel that the power within the mysterious cave is more like a strange curse power," Yan Yingjun said with a serious expression.

"The so-called corrosive property should be just a type of curse power."

"The power of the curse?"

Lu Ziming, who followed Li Qing, looked slightly surprised.

This kind of strange power seems to have never been heard of in this world of immortal cultivation. Only in some legends from ancient times can rumors of this power appear.

“How come you see?”

A hint of thought flashed across Li Qing's eyes.

"I also consulted a lot of ancient books and found that it was similar to the power of the curse in the legend. If it was just an ordinary power, it would not be so spiritual. The last time Fellow Daoist Qing activated that power, the power of the cave exploded with great momentum. This is obviously the kind of power that can automatically identify threats."

Yan Yingjun solemnly expressed his judgment.

Li Qing nodded slightly. He had also had this guess at the beginning.

The inheritance of the art of curse is extremely rare. According to legend, those who are proficient in this art have mysterious and even weird methods.

The enemy is often already cursed before they even show their presence.

More importantly, the methods of curse are ever-changing and it is difficult to deal with them with conventional methods.

This is very different from the mainstream inherited techniques in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Also, that mysterious power of the cave is not only a great threat to the monks' magic power and physical body, but also has a great impact on our spiritual power. Only the strange power of the curse is more in line with this situation."

After Yan Yingjun finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Qing and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Qing, do you think the power of the dark cave that we activated last time can weaken the power contained in it?"

"Haha, weakening is possible, but I'm afraid the effect will be very limited," Li Qing said with a faint smile.

Last time, he went much deeper than Yan Yingjun. The power at the end of the cave was immense. It would be difficult to play a significant role just by relying on the power of the cave that was drawn out last time.

"Then it will depend on what Junior Brother can do to see if the puppet method can be of any use to him."

Li Qing looked at Lu Ziming and smiled.

"Brother, rest assured. I have already mastered that method and will do my best to help you explore that mysterious cave."

As he spoke, curiosity in Lu Ziming's eyes grew stronger.

He also wanted to see the mysterious cave that even Senior Brother Li found difficult to find.

He still vividly remembered the power that erupted from the mysterious cave last time. Even the Ji Hai Formation, which the Yan Di Sect relied on the most, was ultimately unable to escape the erosion and corruption of that power.

Li Qing smiled and nodded.

This time when he was exploring the cave, he specially asked Lu Ziming to come along.

Through the last inspection, Li Qing was more inclined to believe that behind the mysterious cave, there was an ancient special relic.

Both Lu Ziming and Jingshui Patriarch will have to get involved in this matter sooner or later.

There is no need to deliberately hide the two of them.

Now, Patriarch Jingshui was busy investigating several suitable places to repair the Five Element Spirit Puppets. Besides, he was also busy with the matter of relocating the sect, so he did not come along.

As for the method that Lu Ziming mentioned, it was the core inheritance of Linghai Puppet Sect, the Puppet Silk Ten Thousand Thoughts Method.

This method has a unique mystery in the use of soul power, and can be used to verify whether it can resist the erosion of the mysterious cave power.

A moment later, the three figures appeared again in the Hei Liuze Sea.

Li Qing stood in the air, looking into the distance.

Compared to before, the originally gray sea area around it was obviously darker in color.

This is consistent with Yan Yingjun's judgment. Once they leave the cave area, these forces will slowly dissipate like rootless duckweed.

"According to the current situation, in a few days, even the Jindan cultivators within the sect will be able to enter here."

Lu Ziming quietly felt the power of the cave and then spoke.

"If the previous actions were effective, we may need to adopt similar methods. This black stream will hardly be effective in a short period of time," Li Qing said with a faint smile.

Compared with that unknown opportunity, even sacrificing the entire Black Stream is worth it.

At their current level, any opportunity or treasure that can help them improve is extremely precious.

The next moment, the three of them fled rapidly towards the depths of the sea.

After shuttling back and forth in the sea thousands of feet below, the familiar long ravines appeared again in the deep sea. Under the leadership of Yan Yingjun, the three of them escaped through the bottomless ravines.

Deep in the dim sea, a huge mysterious cave appeared in front of the three people.

The cave was surrounded by a grayish current with a strange blue glow.

"The last action is valid"

A hint of joy appeared on Yan Yingjun's face.

Compared with before, the power inside the cave has obviously weakened this time, completely exposing the entire mysterious cave.

A smile also appeared on Li Qing's face.

This at least shows that the previous method is still feasible. In the worst case, the worst result can be achieved by continuing to attack the mysterious cave and consuming the power contained within it.

Seeing the change in Lv Ziming's expression, Li Qing chuckled and said, "Brother Lu, have you found that this kind of power is difficult to detect and will erode our spiritual power?"

"That's right, just as Senior Brother said, it's even more powerful than the power that exploded around the Ji Hai formation before."

Lu Ziming said in surprise.

"We have both investigated thoroughly, it all depends on what you can do."

Under Li Qing's gaze, Lu Ziming nodded solemnly, and then fell into the cave in front.

Because he remembered Li Qing's advice, he did not take the risk to go in directly at the first time.

The next moment, two third-stage late-stage puppets appeared in front of Lu Ziming.

Lu Ziming just stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly.

A black mark immediately appeared between the eyebrows of the two third-stage puppets.

At the same time, Lu Ziming's figure quickly fell into the mysterious cave with the two puppets.

Li Qing quietly watched Lv Ziming's back as he walked away. Lv Ziming's strength alone could not allow him to enter the depths of the cave. He was testing whether the Puppet Silk Myriad Thoughts Technique could block the erosion of the mysterious cave's power.

Outside the mysterious cave.

"What is the new discovery that Fellow Daoist Yan mentioned before?"

Li Qing looked at Yan Yingjun.

This person told us about the new discovery during the three sects' grand ceremony.

"Hehe, if it is really the power of the curse, there is only one kind of power that can best restrain it."

Yan Yingjun looked at Li Qing mysteriously. After seeing that Li Qing had no reaction, Yan Yingjun smiled awkwardly and said, "That is the vitality evolved from the wood element."

"As the saying goes, things grow together and counteract each other. The power of the curse is the most restraining against the vitality of the wood element, but the vitality is also the best way to resist the power of the curse."

Li Qing nodded.

The reason why the mysterious cave power that was spreading at the beginning dissipated so quickly was not unrelated to the death of a large number of monks from the Yandi Sect.

If Yan Yingjun's method is followed, it would probably require endless lives to consume the power of the mysterious cave.

"If we need to consume the power of the cave in the future, we can only use some special formations to catalyze the ancient spiritual plants and trees and take advantage of the opportunity to act."

Hearing Yan Yingjun's plan, Li Qing nodded slightly.

While the two were talking.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the mysterious cave.

The next moment, Lu Ziming's figure rushed out rapidly.

At this moment, Lu Ziming's face looked a little pale, and the aura around him was fluctuating.

Judging from the ugly look on his face, he had obviously failed.

"Brother, no."

Lu Ziming frowned.

"Although the spirit puppets I released can reduce the counterattack of the mysterious cave power, the soul mark can't withstand the erosion of such strange power. I even released my own fourth-level spirit puppet, but it still couldn't stop it."

Li Qing nodded silently.

Although that method was quite good, Lu Ziming's strength was still insufficient. He was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and because he had just been promoted not long ago, the gap between his spiritual power and his own was even greater.

"Junior brother, please stay here and meditate for a while. Fellow Daoist Yan and I will go and investigate further."

As he spoke, Li Qing turned his gaze towards Yan Yingjun.

This person looked confident before coming here, and it was obvious that he was prepared to deal with the power of the mysterious cave.

"Okay, Brother and Fellow Daoist Yan, be careful."

The next moment, the two of them fell into the mysterious cave at the same time.

Li Qing's heart moved slightly, and the surging magic power in his body quickly surged towards the surroundings. Layers of magic power shields were like waves, constantly pushing the power of the cave aside.

Yan Yingjun on the side was also relying on his own magic power to resist the power of the mysterious cave around him.

At present, this is only the outer periphery of the cave. Even if some power invades their bodies, it will not cause much impact.

Yan Yingjun has been here several times, so he naturally has some experience. Needless to say, Li Qing is even more confident with his physical strength.

As the two of them walked towards the depths of the cave, Li Qing secretly glanced at Yan Yingjun.

This was the first time he saw Yan Yingjun actively release his own magic power.

The magic shield around Yan Yingjun was grayish white, and the magic power carried a faint lingering aura. When facing the invasion of the surrounding cave power, a trace of fine magic power in the shield around Yan Yingjun appeared in a spiral shape, dissolving the power of the cave.

Seeing this, a strange color flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

Only today did he discover that this Yan Yingjun was actually at the same level as him, and his cultivation was approaching the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

More importantly, this person's magic power to defend against the mysterious cave power is actually slightly superior to his.

This made him even more curious.

The martial arts he practiced was the Tianshui Lunhai Dao Sutra, which was already one of the rarest inheritances in this world, but Yan Yingjun's performance was even better than his.

Either this person has also obtained a powerful inheritance, or his inherited skills happen to be more able to restrain the power of the cave.

Whatever the situation, it shows that this person is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but reveal a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Yan Yingjun had always been wary of him, but he dared to cooperate with him to explore the mysterious cave without showing any fear or worry.

He didn't believe that Yan Yingjun was a simple-minded person. It was more likely that he was confident that he had a trump card to save his life.

As the two continued to go deeper, the originally gray power began to turn into light blue.

The power of the mysterious cave continued to erode the two of them.

Strands of the power of the dark cave penetrated into Li Qing's body through the magic shield, and the next moment they were wrapped by an even more powerful magic power and slowly eroded away.

As for the minor injuries left behind, it is difficult for them to have any impact on his body.

After a while.

The two of them were moving slower and slower, and now both of them looked a little exhausted.

Endless light blue mysterious light penetrates every pore.

"Friend Qing hasn't responded yet. It seems like he must have gone deeper than I did last time."

Yan Yingjun glanced towards Li Qing.

He discovered that this fellow Daoist Qing was surrounded by powerful magical power, and his expression remained calm.

Yan Yingjun couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He could feel that the mysterious cave power had already invaded this person's body, but this fellow Daoist Qing didn't seem to have any reaction.

"Even my magic power is beginning to have difficulty quickly erasing the mysterious cave power that has invaded my body. What method did this person use to control the cave power that has invaded my body?"

The next moment, Yan Yingjun shook his head secretly.

With this person's unfathomable powerful means, it is obvious that he also possesses great opportunities, so it seems not a big deal that he can resist the power of this mysterious cave.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are not qualified to cross levels and defeat True Lord Yanman.

Gradually, the area deep in the cave became more and more vast, and as far as the eye could see, it was all a vast blue ocean.

"The power of the cave here has also weakened a bit."

Li Qing looked at the infinite mysterious cave power around him.

The last time he personally went deep into this place, he found that the power here was also a bit weaker than before.

It seems that the erupting and pouring power of the mysterious cave has had an impact on the world inside the cave.

At this moment.

"Friend Qing, if you keep going like this, I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer."

Yan Yingjun said helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Yan said it at the perfect time. I can't hold on any longer. From now on, I can only rely on the countermeasures that you have prepared in advance."

Looking at Li Qing's calm smile, Yan Yingjun's mouth twitched slightly.

This was obviously just a perfunctory remark. Although it seemed that Fellow Daoist Qing was more seriously eroded by the mysterious power of the cave, his condition was normal.

Thinking of the means that were about to be used, Yan Yingjun showed a trace of pain on his face.
