Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 86 Ancient Cultivator's Cave
After the decision was made, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms.

Chen Mu also picked a room and waved his hand to release a protective shield that covered the entire house.

This is also a cautious approach. If someone uses spiritual awareness to investigate, he will be able to find out at the first time.

After he sat cross-legged, he silently felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island.

"It's indeed a treasured land bestowed by the Dragon Palace. The spiritual energy level is almost the same as that of the mountain gate..."

"It's a pity that you need to pay extra spirit stones to practice here, otherwise it would be a good place for casual practitioners."

Chen Mu shook his head, without further thought, he took out a pill, swallowed it, and began to practice.

Ten days later, Manager Hu went to Baixiao Pavilion, but did not receive any news about the demon cultivator's departure. Chen Mu was not disappointed, but turned around and continued to practice.

Ten days later, Wu Xuanyang went to Baixiao Pavilion to inquire about the news, and this time he finally brought back good news.

"Three days ago, the Dragon Palace issued an imperial decree, ordering the Golden Armored Blue Crab to be conferred the title. Upon hearing the news, the demon cultivator didn't dare delay for a moment. He immediately rode a golden beam of light and headed straight for the Dragon Palace with great fanfare."

Upon hearing this, Manager Hu's face lit up with joy. He looked at Chen Mu and said, "Junior Brother Chen, there's no time to lose. Let's get going!"

Fang Xiaopan, who was standing by, saw that things were taking a turn for the better and no longer talked about leaving.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The group made up their minds and quietly left the city. After releasing the Bilang Spirit Boat, they sped off into the distance.

Along the way, apart from killing several monsters that blocked the way, he did not stop for a moment. It took a total of three days to reach the place that was previously covered by the disaster cloud.

Chen Mu looked at the azure blue sky, without any of the suffocating feeling he had felt some time ago due to the dark clouds. He sighed and handed the steering wheel to Manager Hu.

Half a day's work passed in a flash.

At this time, Chen Mu was standing on a deserted island and looking around.

The island is about a hundred miles in radius, with a mountain range rising in the center. It looks extremely strange, like a huge wound.

He frowned slightly. There was not a trace of spiritual energy on the entire island. Moreover, there was no howling of wild beasts, chirping of insects or birds, so it gave people a dead feeling.

After Hu Guanshi put away the spirit boat, he saw Chen Mu's puzzled expression, then smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't be surprised. This is the island where the ancient cultivator's cave is located. We have been here several times..."

Perhaps because he had reached a treasured place, Fang Xiaopan was in a very good mood and laughed. "Fellow Daoist Chen, you don't know, but I was also like this when I first arrived. I really couldn't understand why a cultivator would set up a cave in such a dead place."

Chen Mu nodded without saying anything, and followed Manager Hu and others to fly towards the center of the island using the Wind Walking Technique.

After a stick of incense, Chen Mu put away the Wind Pattern Cloud Banner and slowly landed on an inconspicuous boulder.

He looked around but didn't see anything special. Then he turned to look at Manager Hu, only to see that he had already taken out an ancient bronze mirror, summoned his magical power, and tossed it into the air. Then he made hand gestures with both hands and muttered something...

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange. He turned to look at Wu Xuanyang and others, and found that they all looked as if it was their due. He guessed that Manager Hu had been like this the previous few times.

So he suppressed his thoughts and waited quietly.

A moment later, the bronze mirror in the air flashed, and a beam of white light shone on the huge rock under their feet.

The next moment, the boulder suddenly disappeared as if melted by a beam of light, revealing a huge, pitch-black hole.

Chen Mu's feet felt empty and he immediately fell down. He quickly used his magic power to try to steady his body.

"thump……"

Before he could use the Wind Walking Technique, he stopped and landed on solid ground.

Everything was pitch black. Chen Mu pulled out a night-shining pearl, and with the help of its dim light, he discovered that this place was a cave. He looked up and saw that where the cave entrance should have been, it had become a series of upside-down stalactites. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he sent a magical force upward, knocking down a piece of rubble.

"Not an illusion?"

Chen Mu's heart was shocked. If it wasn't an illusion, then what brought them here was either the power of the formation or the art of movement.

He would rather believe that this was the power of the formation, because if it was the art of movement, then the strength of the owner of this place would far exceed his imagination...

"Junior Brother Chen, this way."

Manager Hu's tone was filled with unconcealable excitement, and he immediately walked towards the depths of the cave.

Wu Xuanyang and others followed closely behind, fearing that someone would get there first.

Seeing this, Chen Mu became cautious and followed him.

After walking for half an hour, they still couldn't see the cave. Moreover, the cave became narrower as they went further, and they even had to bend over to pass through some parts of the path.

After walking for a while, Manager Hu, who was at the front, exclaimed in surprise, "We're here!"

The people behind him quickened their pace upon hearing this, and soon they all saw the faint light flowing in front of them.

After Chen Mu bent his body and passed through the corner hole, he looked around and suddenly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

What came into view was a huge cave, with many bowl-sized luminous pearls adorning the top. The cave was extremely empty, with only dozens of doors tightly arranged in a circle, which looked particularly strange.

Manager Hu pointed to several doors and introduced them to Chen Mu, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, this is where the ancient cultivator hid his treasures. There's a treasure behind each door. As for the treasures behind these doors, we've already taken them out..."

Chen Mu approached an open door, looked inside, and found that it was just an ordinary cave.

He frowned slightly and looked intently at the brown wooden door again. This time, he found that there were some patterns painted on the wooden door, but he still could not see any information about the ancient cultivator.

He shook his head, feeling that the way they arrived and the scene before him were somewhat subtle...

"Friend Hu, let's get started!"

Wu Xuanyang shouted softly and urged Manager Hu to get up.

Manager Hu agreed immediately, took out the bronze mirror again, walked to a closed door, and urged the bronze mirror to emit a beam of white light to shine through.

Soon, under the illumination of the beam of light, the door began to creak.

Upon seeing this, Manager Hu suddenly activated his magic power, and the bronze mirror suddenly shone brightly.

"Oh!"

The door seemed to be kicked open from the inside out by a huge force, and it slammed heavily on the stone wall next to it, revealing a white vortex that kept spinning.

Chen Mu's heart moved, feeling the spiritual energy surging into the cave from the whirlpool.

After Manager Hu and the others got to know each other, he spoke to Chen Mu.

"Junior Brother Chen, once you step into this vortex, you will enter the restriction that protects this treasure..."

"We've entered this several times before, and the restrictions we encountered were all different, so I can't be sure what kind of test lies behind this vortex."

"However, with Junior Brother's strength, and the progress of our cultivation, a mere restriction shouldn't be a problem..."
