Chapter 577: Chapter 303: Encounter with an Acquaintance (Request for Monthly Pass)

Among the cultivators, there are also tomb raiders who often roam in the underground world.

These people have their own methods of gold division and positioning, far superior to ordinary tomb raiders.

Li Yunjing, a cultivator, has also learned Feng Shui Technique and Celestial Secret Technique, which are essential knowledge for such explorations.

In general, cultivators are unwilling to rely on tools like shovels for slow digging; they have magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, and divine techniques. Magic.

Especially those who are proficient in the Path of Earth; exploring the underground world is like a fish in water for these cultivators. They can easily open a passage downwards, making it as simple as taking something from a bag.

These cultivators, even without earth cultivators, should have no problem entering the underground from the ancestral hall.

The fact that they chose to dig in this way is rather intriguing.

"Enter!"

Li Yunjing, after much deliberation, finally gritted his teeth and jumped into the hole. His Myriad Li Communication Talisman was no longer capable of transmitting messages to the sect.

At this moment, Li Yunjing had no opportunity to seek help.

Who knows if by the time he leaves and brings reinforcements, these tomb raiders will have already cleaned out everything below?

When Li Yunjing jumped into the hole, he found himself in an underground palace, surrounded by a world built of green stone.

Li Yunjing looked around and realized he couldn’t see far in this underground world.

In this underground world, there seemed to be a mysterious force blocking the exploration of divine senses. Cultivators could only rely on their eyesight to observe their surroundings.

About three miles ahead of Li Yunjing, three cultivators were cautiously exploring forward...

If Li Yunjing saw the three, he would be greatly shocked!

These three were the Black Hand he encountered in the South Sea—Canglan Master, Lin Kai, and the woman in red!

Years had passed, and these three had actually infiltrated the heart of the Central Plains, slaughtered the residents of a small town, and entered this underground palace.

Four years had passed; Canglan Master’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the woman in red had also recovered to the Fifth Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even Lin Kai, who had the worst aptitude, had successfully entered the Foundation Establishment, becoming a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.

Once their cultivation levels increased, the three were unwilling to stay in the South Sea.

One reason was that staying there meant facing the forces of the South Sea’s siege. Another reason was that with their cultivation greatly advanced, the three had the intention of treasure hunting. Thus, they left the South Sea and appeared here.

"Big brother, third brother, can we retrieve the treasure? The treasure’s divine light just shot up to the sky; it must have attracted the attention of nearby cultivators."

The woman in red spoke while walking.

Canglan Master frowned, squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "We can’t wait! Who knows how long it will take and how many resources it will consume for me to restore my Golden Core Realm cultivation? Without the support of any force, we won’t last long before we expose ourselves. It’s better to take a bold step now!"

People from the Canglan Continent visiting the Southern Heaven Continent are extremely rare but not impossible.

Some old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm who travel the world might wander to the Southern Heaven Continent.

The local powers naturally hold a certain respect for strong individuals from different continents, and conflicts rarely break out.

But the Golden Core Realm cultivators couldn’t deter the determined ones.

As long as they knew the other party came from a different continent and had no backing in the Southern Heaven Continent, some ruthless Golden Core Realm cultivators would target them, kill them, and seize their wealth, obtaining different continent’s Daoist skills to enhance their strength.

Their identities were exposed last time, and the Shenxiao Dao Sect knew about them. Not long after Li Yunjing left, Golden Core Realm experts from Wanghai City entered the sea region to capture them.

The three had anticipated this and, with their many means and cunning nature, escaped the sea region and infiltrated the Central Plains.

Within the Great Ming Dynasty, despite the appearance of calm, dark currents surged. They had long had thoughts about these fallen Golden Core Realm cultivators.

They wanted to find out what had driven these cultivators to cross the sea at such a great cost.

Canglan Master, the woman in red, and Lin Kai had no choice but to make a final effort, entering the treasure site early to find a way to unlock the treasure and obtain the legendary divine item.

In the dark stone corridor, the three cautiously moved forward step by step.

The underground corridor was extremely complex, like a labyrinth, with restrictions sealing both above and below. There were no shortcuts apart from following the passage.

Knowing the truth about this treasure trove, Canglan Master, the woman in red, and Lin Kai didn’t waste mana forcibly opening a path.

After walking for a while, Lin Kai frowned and said in confusion, "We’ve walked at least dozens of miles! I feel like we’re going in circles!"

"Big brother, I have the same feeling!"

The woman in red nodded, her face full of suspicion.

"Unfortunately, our map is incomplete. We only have the location, not the underground palace’s layout or any means to break the restrictions."

Canglan Master looked grim. He couldn’t decipher the routes in this labyrinth to find the true path.

"I’ll leave marks here! We’ll walk through it again and see!"

With no other choice, Canglan Master came up with a simple solution: mark the walls at intervals to filter out the path to safety.
