I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 226 - 189: Taiyue Divine Sword Peak (2)
As a result, these people waited for a full nine months, without seeing a single cultivator emerge, nor capturing even a hint of spiritual power fluctuation. In the end, they could only leave dejectedly, having wasted a large amount of spirit stones and time. πππππ°π²π―π»ππππΉ.ππ¨π
After all, the landing points of void shifting are completely random. Not to mention setting up a Heaven and Earth Net in advance, even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator took action, they couldnβt possibly catch those figures being randomly transported.
Itβs precisely because of this void restriction that Golden Core Cultivators without a deep background dare to boldly enter the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven for adventure.
Most of them come from small families or are loose cultivators, without a sectβs Nascent Soul True Monarch to back them. If someone were waiting outside the secret realm, even if they risked their lives to find spiritual materials in the grotto heaven, they might still be directly captured by powerful cultivators upon exiting, toiling for them in vain.
Now, with this void restriction, they are free of that concernβas long as they survive the secret realm, they can leave safely with their gains. Even if transported to a remote place, they only need some time to travel back to the familiar market.
...
Inside the grotto heaven, two soft white lights suddenly fell from the void, landing lightly as two feathers beside a large lake. As the light faded, the figures of Chen Xihua and Master Shi Fang appeared.
As soon as Master Shi Fang landed, he couldnβt help but take a deep breath, his eyes lighting up with excitement:
"Such dense spiritual energy! Itβs several times more rich than the main peak of the Three Elements Dao Sect, there must be several tier five spiritual veins underground here!"
He reached out to touch the lake surface, which emitted a faint spirit light, with a warm sensation transmitting through his fingertips:
"Itβs a pity thereβs only nine monthsβ time. If we had twenty years, just digging out the spirit crystals from the spirit veins, weβd make a fortune!"
Of course, this was a joke. The spiritual veins beneath the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven are set with countless restrictions by great divine power users. Not to mention the two Golden Core Cultivators, even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch came in person, they would find it difficult to forcefully excavate, only to sigh in admiration.
On the side, Chen Xihua didnβt respond but closed his eyes, carefully sensing the process of the void teleportation.
When wrapped in Ancient Yue Profound Light just now, he clearly felt the wrinkles and flow of space, that wondrous sensation of crossing distance shook his soul:
"So this is void teleportation? Truly remarkable!"
He had seen long-distance teleportation arrays in the Three Elements Immortal City, which not only required a large consumption of spirit stones but also involved intense spatial turbulence. Compared to the silent, stable and gentle void shifting, they were simply childβs play.
"Alright, snap out of it!"
Master Shi Fang patted his shoulder with a laugh:
"The grotto heaven is so vast, nine months will pass in a flash. We canβt waste time in a daze; we need to quickly determine our position and find some opportunitiesβthatβs the main task."
The Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven is enormous, spanning millions of miles. Even Golden Core Cultivators must spend a lot of time on traveling, requiring a well-planned route.
Usually, the cultivators transported into the grotto heaven head towards the nearest opportunity point.
Hearing this, Chen Xihua slowly opened his eyes and nodded: "First, letβs find out where we are?"
He released his divine sense like a tide, spreading around. What he saw was a vast, boundless lake, its water crystal clear, with faint gleams of spirit crystal lights beneath.
Around the lake stood several mountain peaks resembling tridents, their bodies a dark green color, covered with dense patterns, emitting a faint sharp aura, obviously shrouded in profound mysterious restrictions.
Master Shi Fang also released his divine sense to survey the surrounding terrain. When his gaze fell on those peaks, he suddenly trembled with excitement, his eyes flashing with unparalleled light:
"Weβre incredibly lucky! This should be the Taiyue Sword Peak in the southernmost of the grotto heaven, and this lake is the Sword Washing Lake!"
He explained rapidly:
"Taiyue Sword Peak is a sword cultivatorβs treasure ground marked on the Daoist Sect map, with many treasures suitable for sword cultivators."
"Especially the Sword Grinding Cliff, where the legendary βSword Heart Bambooβ grows. Itβs a supreme treasure for sword cultivators, capable of refining the sword heart and nurturing sword intent, a dream for many sword cultivators!"
The Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven has been explored multiple times by Daoist Sect cultivators, with detailed maps marking dozens of known opportunity sites.
The most central is the Creation Floating Island in the middle of the grotto heaven, filled with tier four spiritual objects and where the Nascent Fruit grows, a focal point for all cultivatorsβ contention.
Other places also have their own wonders, from heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nascent soul spiritual materials, opportunities are countless.
Master Shi Fang was clear about his strength, knowing he couldnβt compete with those at Golden Core Perfection, so he didnβt plan to join the fun at Creation Floating Island for now.
This Taiyue Sword Peak was one of his most desired targets for this journey. To think they were directly transported nearby, itβs definitely an advantageous position.
According to Daoist Sect records, Taiyue Sword Peak only allows the first fifty cultivators to reach it during each grotto heaven opening. Once the number is exceeded, endless restrictions activate on the peak, blocking further people.
"We were transported directly here, truly a heaven-sent opportunity!"
Master Shi Fang rubbed his hands with anticipation:
"Other cultivators will take at least several days to get here from the teleportation drop point. This time is enough for us to seize the initiative; we might find quite a few valuable things."
Chen Xihua looked up at Taiyue Sword Peak, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. His luck has always been good, and this Taiyue Sword Peak suits not only Master Shi Fang but him as well.
Though the Sword Heart Bamboo holds no use for him, the sword grinding spiritual materials, Sword Dao insights, and Sword Dao inheritance on the peak are exactly what he urgently needs.
Moreover, the Daoist Sect records mention that the process of climbing Taiyue Sword Peak is an opportunity in itself!
The restrictions on the peak actively infuse Sword Dao insights, cleanse the sword heart, and hone sword intent, greatly enhancing a sword cultivatorβs swordsmanship proficiency. The better oneβs Sword Dao talent, the higher the steps climbed, the more benefits gained.
Thus, the sword madmen of the Myriad Swords Sect consider this place second only to Creation Island.
Chen Xihuaβs gaze suddenly landed on a colorful area on the eastern side of the peak, enveloped in clouds and mist, with faint steam rising, and couldnβt help but mutter to himself:
"That should be the source of Sword Washing Lakeβthe Five Elements Crystal Element Cave."
"If I can enter it through the Sword Heart Passage, perhaps I can find the βMyriad Spirits Stone Milkβ, which is one of the three great treasures needed for advancing to the third layer of βMyriad Phenomena Sources Returning to Spirit Skillβ."
With this thought, Chen Xihua no longer hesitated and said to Master Shi Fang: "Time is of the essence, letβs hurry and climb the mountain."
"Alright!" Master Shi Fang nodded in agreement.
The two then simultaneously leapt, transforming into two streams of light, flying towards Taiyue Sword Peak.
Soon, they landed at the foot of the sword peak, where they saw a gigantic stone tablet standing there, inscribed with ancient seal characters!
"Taiyue Divine Sword Peak, Sword Grinding Land, fifty sword child can climb the mountain..."
The characters were powerful and vigorous, seemingly containing true Sword Dao intent, causing Chen Xihuaβs heart to tremble, feeling an urge to draw his sword.
As they ascended the stone steps, they had just reached the mountainside when a heavy pressure suddenly came upon them, accompanied by a fierce sword momentum, as though countless invisible long swords hovered overhead, making it difficult to breathe.
Master Shi Fangβs face changed slightly, circulating his spiritual power to resist:
"Such heavy sword pressure! It seems the rumors were trueβthis Taiyue Sword Peak might really be transformed from a tier five ultimate sword!"
However, Chen Xihua didnβt feel much discomfort. Instead, he closed his eyes, letting the sword pressure envelop him. As he continued to climb, a pure stream of Sword Dao insights flowed into his mind, deepening his understanding of swordsmanship.
The previously obscure sword techniques now became clear, and the previously stagnant sword intent gradually condensed, becoming more refined.
Chen Xihua felt extremely delighted, his Lifebound Sword Pill trembling constantly, emitting joyful sword cries:
"Grinding swords and climbing peaks, truly a great opportunity!"
