Primordial Treasure Mirror

Su Yang cultivated for a while by simply absorbing spiritual energy.

After opening his eyes, he gave a bitter smile:

"Relying solely on breathing in spiritual energy for cultivation is far too slow; my efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy is pitifully low."

"Without the aid of elixirs to aid cultivation, it might take ten years to break through a minor realm, let alone leave. At the very least, one must reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage and obtain the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit."

"Without external help, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get out of here in my entire life."

Su Yang slowly exhaled, still unwilling to give up.

He then stood up and walked around the entire cave again.

And they relentlessly attacked the formation again and again, hoping to find its weak point or perhaps by sheer luck destroy the formation's core.

However, a second-tier formation was far beyond the capabilities of a mere Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator to destroy.

At the same time, the core of the second-order formation may not be inside the cave, but may be outside the cave.

Therefore, after half an hour, he still hadn't found anything.

Su Yang completely abandoned the idea of ​​destroying the formation.

But he still didn't stop, and began to explore the cave and the house inch by inch.

He not only used his eyes to investigate, but also used his divine sense, which could only be a few inches away from his body.

Su Yang used his divine sense to search every corner of the cave.

But still, nothing was gained.

Whether it's the house or other places inside the cave.

There were no abnormalities.

Disappointed, Su Yang had no choice but to temporarily abandon the investigation.

He returned to the futon in the room and sat down cross-legged.

While his expression remained calm, he felt somewhat agitated inside.

Su Yang had never been in such a dangerous situation before, or rather, had never experienced such a predicament.

Even if faced with life-threatening danger, one knows where the danger comes from and is prepared.

However, being trapped in the cave, the sense of impending crisis made him extremely uncomfortable.

Therefore, the irritability in my heart remained stuck in my chest, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter what I did.

Su Yang used the Mind-Clearing Technique.

This is a low-level spell obtained from the demonic cultivators of Hundred Soul Valley, which allows one to enter a state of tranquility and detachment.

After calming down, Su Yang began to think about what to do next:

"Why don't we stay here and cultivate for now, waiting for a turning point?"

"Although my cultivation progress will definitely be slower, with the Azure Wood Pill, it won't stagnate. It will still be faster than that of ordinary cultivators."

"Moreover, I can not only improve my cultivation level, but I can also refine my physical body with the Spirit Nourishing Technique, and temper my divine sense with the Spirit Nourishing Stone."

"Thinking about it this way, my improvement is actually quite significant, it's just that my cultivation level isn't improving as rapidly as before."

"If I can refine both my physical body and my spiritual consciousness to perfection, even without external assistance, I might still have a chance of survival."

Su Yang also knew that his thoughts were somewhat optimistic.

Ultimately, the aptitude of those with five spiritual roots is too poor.

He doesn't have many Green Wood Pills left. Once he runs out of pills, relying solely on his own cultivation, his cultivation speed will probably be as slow as a snail's pace.

More importantly, it's about overcoming the bottlenecks.

For someone with five spiritual roots to break through the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Refining without the aid of elixirs, relying solely on persistent effort, it might take decades to achieve a breakthrough.

The improvement of one's spiritual consciousness and physical body in terms of personal strength can never compare to the improvement of one's realm.

After all, realm improvement is all-round; spiritual power, divine sense, and physical body can all increase significantly when realm breaks through.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

Su Yang let out a long breath, released the Mind-Clearing Technique, and countless distracting thoughts returned, only to be constantly dispelled by him.

Instead of taking elixirs for cultivation, he prepared to first temper his divine consciousness.

Just as Su Yang's agitation had not completely dissipated, he wanted to use the special state he was in when visualizing the Spirit Stone to clear his mind of distractions.

With a thought, Su Yang took out the Spirit-Nourishing Stone from the mirror space.

The Spirit Stone appeared in his palm.

He was about to visualize the Spirit Stone to temper his divine sense when he suddenly froze.

After the Spirit Stone appeared in his palm, fine golden lines slowly lit up its surface.

The golden lines were initially extremely faint, without any light, and even difficult to detect, but then they became clearer and clearer.

The golden threads gradually solidified and began to slowly move across the surface of the Spirit Stone.

Su Yang's heart suddenly raced a few beats faster:

"This is?"

He obtained the Spirit Stone from Zhang Wan and the others' storage bags.

He had never been able to fully understand the details of this thing, only knowing that it could enhance spiritual perception while refining divine stones.

The abilities that Su Yang has discovered are already extraordinary; even Foundation Establishment cultivators would be envious if they knew them.

He had used the Spirit-Nourishing Stone to temper his divine sense countless times before, but he had never encountered such an anomaly as today.

Su Yang felt a mix of trepidation and delight at that moment.

He didn't know why the Spirit Stone had suddenly acted strangely, but under the current circumstances, any change might not necessarily be a bad thing for him.

The golden threads on the Spirit Stone are still moving.

At a certain moment, the golden thread suddenly detached from the Spirit Stone and slowly drifted in a certain direction.

As it floated, it shimmered with golden-white light, as if urging him to catch up.

Su Yang suddenly stood up and followed Jin Xian out of the house, finally arriving at a stone wall behind the courtyard.

This is an ordinary stone wall.

Su Yang had come here twice to investigate, but he didn't find anything unusual, whether by using his divine sense or by touching it.

But when the golden thread on the Spirit Stone gets close...

The stone wall suddenly began to ripple.

That's right, it's clearly a stone, yet it rippled like river water.

The gold thread also penetrated into the ripples.

The golden thread didn't pierce the stone wall; it was more like it fell into another space.

Su Yang stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, and a possibility came to mind.

"Could this place lead to another location?"

The area on the stone wall in front of us that shows ripples is not very large, only about the size of one person.

Su Yang took out a short-bladed magical artifact from the mirror space and tentatively handed it forward.

He moved very carefully.

The short-bladed magical weapon touched the rippled stone wall and actually passed right through it.

Su Yang felt no obstruction whatsoever, as if he had pierced the air.

He became increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.

The ripples on the stone wall form a door, a door leading to another place.

Su Yang then thought of Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian jumped into the well and disappeared.

Could it be that, like this stone wall, there is a passage leading to other places underground?

Su Yang pushed the short-bladed magic weapon inwards even deeper until the entire blade was submerged and part of the hilt was also inside.

"It's not over yet."

Su Yang gritted his teeth and threw the short-bladed magic weapon in. There was no movement, only ripples splashing on the stone wall.

Su Yang frowned.

This situation has made him somewhat hesitant.

The situation inside the stone wall was too unknown, and Su Yang could not be sure whether it was safe inside.

Should I go in or not?
