Dawu Peak is the shortest of the five peaks, but it still towers into the clouds, with an imposing momentum. The top of the mountain peak is a huge sky pit, no, it should be said that it is a straight hole inserted deep into the earth's core, Qianbao Cave.
Qianbao Cave, the entrance faces upwards, towards the sky. The inside of the cave is pitch black, and from top to bottom, it's impossible to see anything clearly. A narrow path, about two feet wide, spirals down from the entrance, so narrow that only one person can pass through at a time.
At the entrance of Qianbao Cave, an old man in white clothes sat on a huge stone, his body covered with a thick layer of dust, and flowers and grass grew out of the dust. His white clothes were almost rotten, and the huge stone he was sitting on was about to turn into sand and dust. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see that there was still a person here.
"Is this man dead or alive?" Guo Yi very much wanted to go up and pull his long beard covered with grass dust.
"Stop, don't move him. This is the guardian of Qianbao Cave. I think he hasn't moved for at least a few hundred years. He's been meditating in stillness, and must have been a major figure in that era hundreds of years ago."
"This old man has been sitting on this peak for hundreds of years, and yet he hasn't been struck dead by lightning." As soon as Guo Yao finished speaking, a bolt of lightning split the clear sky, standing his hair on end and turning his skin into charcoal.
"It must be this old man's doing." Guo Yao cursed loudly, and was about to kick the old man when thunder sounded in the sky again. Guo Yao hastily covered his head and rushed into Qianbao Cave, not daring to stay a step longer.
With reverence, he bowed to the elder and followed Guo Yi inside.
Walking on the winding downhill path, my eyes can only see things within ten meters, as if there are thousands of layers of membranes blocking my view.
The spiritual treasures in the Cave of a Thousand Treasures all rise automatically from the bottom of the cave and fall onto the small path. What kind of treasure one can encounter depends entirely on their luck. Many people suspect that there is a treasure basin at the bottom of the Cave of a Thousand Treasures, which can infinitely produce spiritual treasures, because for tens of thousands of years, every fifty years, a wave of people would come in to search for treasure, but the treasures inside the cave have never been exhausted.
However, since no one has ever reached the bottom of the cave, no one knows what secrets lie at the bottom, or if there really is a treasure trove.
"This nine-ringed jade dagger, crafted by the Jade King himself, has an intricate pattern of arrays on its surface and is forged from the finest jade. It's undoubtedly a high-grade spiritual artifact." Guo Yi handed over the spiritual artifact he had just picked up to **.
Taking over the Jade Spirit Knife, he shook his head: "Still a bit short of harmony, let's go and see if we can find a more suitable spirit tool."
Didn't immediately discard the Jade Spirit Knife, as the saying goes "riding a donkey to find a horse", it's not too late to throw it away after finding a better one.
Guo Ye picked up another spiritual instrument from the stone crevice, which was a palm-sized piece of cyan dragon scale. On the surface of the dragon scale were seven water-drop-shaped patterns, each with a different shape, representing different spiritual rhythms.
Guo Yigang grasped the cyan dragon scales in his hand and immediately felt a strange, icy temperature that froze his arm into ice crystals.
"Nine Changes of the Mysterious Fire Formula."
Flames burned on his body, slowly creeping towards his left arm, but couldn't melt the ice crystal at all.
"What kind of ghost thing is this?" Guo Yi activated another immortal gate, wanting to use the Burial Heaven Sword to destroy this piece of dragon scale.
When he saw the cyan dragon scale in Guo Yao's hand, his face suddenly filled with wild joy. He directly threw the emerald green spirit knife in his hand into the bottom of the cave and shouted: "Guo Shao, you must not destroy it! This is a scale of the Seven Tribulations Flying Dragon, its value is comparable to the sum of hundreds of spiritual instruments. Only a hint of dragon energy within me can recover it. You cannot use this dragon scale, so give it to me, and I'll owe you a great favor."
Kuo Yeh was about to shatter the dragon scale with the Tian Xiao sword in his right hand when he suddenly heard **'s words, and immediately put away his sword: "This is what you said, owing me a favor, but it's not that easy to repay."
"I'm truly grateful." Overjoyed.
"Stop talking nonsense and come get it back, my arm is almost frozen off."
"It's coming, it's coming." A green dragon bead suddenly emerged from its mouth, and a layer of green light halo flashed on the surface of the dragon bead. In the light halo, nine dragon souls were flying, each only as big as an earthworm, but every part of their body, including the dragon head, tail, whiskers, and horns, could be seen clearly.
Guo Yixin thought to himself, "This guy's status in the Jiulong Cave Heaven must be quite high, this Nine Soul Dragon Pearl is extremely precious, probably can't even find a few in the entire Nanling."
The nine dragon souls on the Nine Soul Dragon Ball were stirred up, and they wrapped around the dragon scales in Guo Yi's hand. The solid ice instantly melted away, revealing the cyan-colored dragon scales.
The smile on his face grew brighter and brighter, wrapping the nine dragon souls around the dragon scales, binding them together with the dragon pearl, and then flying back into his mouth.
"Haha, it turns out that you're also a water-attribute dragon tribe, and your Dragon Ball has the same attribute as mine. I feel like my internal dragon energy has become twice as pure."
But before he could even finish laughing, his face suddenly turned awkward, and he cried out: "I'm done for! I was so focused on subduing the dragon scales that I forgot my current strength has reached its peak. Earlier, I actually triggered a spiritual tribulation... it seems I'll have to transcend this tribulation here."
Kuo Yeh was so angry that he almost kicked the guy to death, scolding: "Don't you dare come any closer, I'm about to cross my spiritual calamity too. If your calamity triggers mine as well, and we both face our calamities at the same time, then we're done for."
The dark clouds in the sky began to gather, and he hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave. Guo Yao naturally wanted to keep a distance from him, so he rushed deeper into the Qianbao Cave.
Ling Jie has spirituality, and when the time of crossing the calamity arrives, Guo Ye is also discovered by Jie Yun. It's likely that his spiritual calamity will also descend, and at that time, the two people's spiritual calamities will overlap, with a terrifying power that knows no bounds. Both of them may turn to ashes in the calamity.
All I could hear was the thunderous roar behind me, like a mountain collapsing, with an astonishing momentum. Guo Ye cursed as he ran, without any time to look at the road, and suddenly bumped his head against a pitch-black stone on the wall of the cave, which had some age and had grown moss on it.
"What's going on? Can't be this bad, right? Didn't get killed by the spiritual tribulation, but instead ended up smashing my own head to death on a rock?"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly felt a lightness on his body, and unexpectedly passed through the black giant stone, just like diving into a water curtain.
"This..."
At this time, the sound of thunder from the tribulation was completely inaudible by my ear, as if I had entered another world. This is a pitch-black cave, where you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand, and the temperature around is extremely cold, as if I had fallen into an isolated ice cave that is cut off from the world.
"Ding Dong..."
The sound of water dripping echoed in my ears, and the air was filled with a musty smell, it's unknown how many years no one has come to this place.
Guo Yi's fingers ignited a small flame, like a lantern, illuminating the narrow surroundings, making it possible to vaguely see the nearest stone wall. The stone wall still had traces of knives and axes, indicating that this was an artificially excavated cave, not a natural one.
On the stone wall, a wisp of fine black smoke was actually seeping out, Guo Yi only felt a dizziness, and then hastily held his breath, before slapping the stone wall with one palm, wanting to see where this black fog came from.
With Guo Yi's current strength, a single palm strike could exert a force of at least ten thousand kilograms, but his palm was instead shaken open by the stone wall, leaving his palm numb, as if he had struck his own palm.
"What the heck is this thing." Guo Yi summoned the Burial Sky Sword, wanting to stab it into the stone wall.
Kasyapa Buddha jumped out from the tomb of the Heavenly Sword and blocked him, saying: "You cannot move."
Guo Yechi hesitated and said: "Why can't I move?"
"This is the Ghost Gate Master's Yama Ghost Wall, which isolates the spiritual exploration of the cultivators. On top of the Yama Ghost Wall are nine auxiliary array patterns, seven of which are life-killing arrays. If you accidentally trigger one of the killing arrays, it can instantly kill you." said Kasyapa Ancient Buddha.
Guo Yi's hand trembled, almost dropping the Tian Tian sword to the ground. He glanced at the stone wall with a taboo look, then retreated two steps, not daring to get closer, fearing that he would accidentally trigger the killing array on the stone wall.
"Shengwu Mountain is a forbidden place in the world, except for Wu Meng's disciples, no one can set foot on the five great peaks. This Qianbao Cave is even more forbidden, how could the Ghost Gate master's move appear here?" Guo Yi asked.
"There are only two possibilities, first, this Ghost Gate disciple is actually a member of the Martial Alliance. It's well-known that the Martial Alliance only recruits geniuses, regardless of their background. Even a Ghost Gate disciple can join the Martial Alliance."
Guo Ye nodded, and Xueyi was one of the seven major evil lands, Baigushan's disciple. If he hadn't been killed by himself, he would have become a member of Wumeng now.
"Secondly, the Ghost Gate had an extremely skilled expert who forcibly charged into the Sacred Martial Mountain, was defeated by a high-ranking expert of the Martial Alliance, and escaped to this place. He then opened up this cave within a cave and laid down the Netherworld Ghost Wall to evade the spiritual search of the Martial Alliance's experts."
Kuo Yi took a deep breath in, looked around and said in a low voice: "Doesn't that mean the Ghost Gate master might still be here?"
Kasyapa Ancient Buddha shook his head and said: "This land has been opened for three hundred years, who would hide for three hundred years without leaving?"
Guo Yi suddenly thought of the white-robed old man sitting at the entrance of Qianbao Cave, who had been sitting for hundreds of years. Maybe he wanted to trap that ghost door master here.
The flame in Guo Yi's hand burned unceasingly, following the wall of Yanluo Ghost towards the depths of the cave. After walking about 100 meters, a line of ancient characters was carved on the stone wall:
"Mt. Shengwu has only a false reputation, its five main peaks all fell before me."
Guo Yi looked at the row of ancient characters, which were almost falling off the stone wall, leaving only a faint mark. The characters exuded an aura of invincibility, with swirling mist and an intimidating presence that chilled people to the bone.
Guo Yi Xiu sneered, "This guy is really arrogant, actually saying that the five great peaks' masters were all defeated by him. If that's the case, he wouldn't have been forced to hide here."
Another hundred meters ahead, another line of ancient characters appeared on the stone wall:
"The leader of Wu Meng is good at Tong Xuan, I lost in three moves, although defeated, still glorious."
This line of ancient characters carries a strong sense of resentment and deep-seated taboo, representing the complex emotions in his heart when he carved this sentence.
"It was the mysterious leader of Wu Meng who defeated him." Guo Yi let out a sigh, somewhat admiring this Ghost Gate expert, and said: "Those who dare to admit their own defeat are few in number, especially proud and arrogant experts who cannot afford to lose even once. He can face it so calmly, his will is absolutely not simple."
The leader of the Wu Alliance has been deified, and it is said that he kills people with a single move, no one can withstand his attack. This ghost gate expert was able to withstand three moves from him and even escaped from his hands, showing that his cultivation is also unparalleled in the world.
Kuo Yi continued walking forward, after 100 meters, he saw a fragment of ancient characters, only with intermittent words:
"Yan Luo... died here... Yellow Spring white bone coffin... Ghost Book..."
"This ghostly gatekeeper should be called 'Yan Luo', a name that pulls the wind, I don't know if it's male or female?" Guo Ye didn't delve into the meaning of this ancient text because it was completely nonsensical to him and he couldn't understand it at all, so he continued on his way.
