In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. On this day, Wang Yan was still focused on his cultivation in the quiet room. Suddenly, an explosion sounded from outside, followed by an earthquake. It was as if the entire Sword Worship Mountain was quaking, and the quiet room felt like the world was turning upside down.
Under such a commotion, Wang Yan abruptly opened his eyes and rushed out of the quiet room in a flash.
This earthquake came without warning. After Wang Yan left the quiet room, the tremors did not subside. Instead, they became even more violent. From time to time, there was the sound of rocks collapsing, as if the entire Sword Worship Mountain was on the verge of breaking apart. However, under such a huge earthquake, Wang Yan did not panic at all. He only focused his eyes and looked to the west, where the Sword Worship Pavilion was located.
After a while, he saw a huge green pillar of light shoot up from the mountain toward the sky in the direction of the Sword Worship Pavilion. It was a spectacular sight to behold.
"Is the Golden Light Cave really going to open?"
Although Wang Yan had been in seclusion in the Zhenlin Garden, Yan Bugui and Duan Henan would visit him from time to time. Therefore, Wang Yan knew a thing or two about the rumors in the sect. He did not care about it at first, but he did not expect the strange phenomenon to happen so suddenly.
While he was thinking, a few figures flashed out of the Cloud Sword Pavilion. They were Elder Yunjian, Qi Minggong, Youngest Uncle Yan Bugui, and the others. When Wang Yan saw them, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them. After a short chat, they all looked at the huge pillar of light that connected the sky and the earth.
"The Qi of Azure Mystic is leaking. I'm afraid the Nine-leaf Lotus will appear soon. It seems that the Golden Light Cave is going to open soon."
Elder Yunjian obviously knew more about the Golden Light Cave than Wang Yan. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yan saw some changes in the green pillar of light. A huge flower bud appeared. Although it was budding, its leaves were two and three. It should be the Nine-leaf Lotus that Elder Yunjian mentioned.
It was Wang Yan's first time hearing about it. He could not help but ask, "Grandmaster, what is the Nine-leaf Lotus?"
"In every secret realm of the Spirit Source, there must be a spiritual pivot to sort out the spiritual opportunity and regulate the Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, secret realms are not naturally formed, so the spiritual pivot is mostly made up of the supreme spiritual objects passed down from ancient times. The spiritual pivot in the Golden Light Cave is the ancient treasure of the Nine Leaf Lotus.
As the day of the opening of the Golden Light Cave approaches, the spiritual pivot will show its shadow in the leaking Azure Mystic Qi. In the past, the sect called this phenomenon 'Spirit Source Reflection'. "
Wang Yan listened very attentively. When he learned that the Spiritual Pivot in the Golden Lights Cave was a supreme spiritual object passed down from ancient times, he was shocked. His eyes flickered as if he was deep in thought. Elder Yun Jian, who was standing beside him, seemed to have guessed what Wang Yan was thinking. He said, "Ancient treasures are supreme treasures, but they are not easy to obtain. According to the records in the sect, the Nine Leaf Sky Lotus is not only protected by a great formation set up by an ancient powerful person, but there are also many ancient strange beasts patrolling the area. It is known as the most dangerous place in the Golden Lights Cave. Not to mention Clasping Yuan Stage warriors, even Innate Stage warriors would not be able to get the Nine Leaf Sky Lotus through all the dangers. Otherwise, those cultivators would have killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. Why would they leave behind the Spirit Source Secret Realm?"
Wang Yan nodded, agreeing with Elder Yunjian's words. If ancient treasures were so easy to obtain, would those cultivators let them go?
After understanding this, Wang Yan did not have any extravagant hopes for the Nine-leaf Lotus. He then asked, "May I ask, after the appearance of the 'Spirit Source Reflection' phenomenon, how long will it take for the Golden Light Cave to open?"
"The shadow is just a bud at the moment. When it fully blooms, the Golden Light Cave will open for real. According to the sect's records, it will take at least a month to ten days."
After hearing Elder Yun Jian's words, Wang Yan finally understood some of the things that he had been unable to figure out in the past. The signs of the opening of the Golden Lights Cave might not be obvious at the beginning and only a few people would be able to sense it. However, as the opening day approached, especially after the strange phenomenon of the Spirit Origin appeared, it could no longer be hidden from others. Just by looking at the magnificent green light pillar that connected the heavens and the earth, it was likely that anyone who was extremely far away would be able to sense it. As such, those who were interested in the Golden Lights Cave would naturally flock over. It was likely that within a few days, a storm would surge within the Proud Sword Villa.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan could not help but think of Zhu Mojian, Yun Guilong. That day on Huanzhen Mountain, Yun Guilong had boasted that he would enter the Golden Light Cave to become a Connate Expert. Perhaps this person would come to the Aojian Villa in a few days, and there would be more twists and turns. Moreover, the Golden Light Cave was related to Tianyuan Holy Island, and there might be a big battle outside before entering the cave.
Elder Yunjian obviously knew a little about these things. He looked at Wang Yan with a solemn expression and said, "For us martial artists, the Golden Light Cave is a great opportunity, but it is also dangerous to enter. Wang Yan, you still have to be careful."
"Thank you for your reminder, Grandmaster. Wang Yan will definitely be extra careful."
As the two of them spoke, the shaking of Sword Worship Mountain finally stopped. However, the green pillar of light that connected the heavens and the earth was not affected. Instead, it became even more magnificent, and the Nine-leaf Illuminating Sky Lotus became even more conspicuous.
Seeing this, Qi Minggong gave a few more instructions to Wang Yan, and then turned back to Cloud Sword Pavilion. Yan Bugui and the others also dispersed, and Wang Yan stood alone in the field, looking at the huge pillar of light, and could not help but ponder.
The sudden appearance of the Spiritual Source had disrupted Wang Yan's original plan. He had originally planned to go into seclusion for a period of time, and then directly leave the mountain gate to participate in the Martial Arts Symposium. However, now that the Golden Light Cave was about to open, his original plan was obviously not going to work.
Now that the Golden Light Cave was about to open, this matter was weighing on his heart, and he could not calm down. There was not much point in going into seclusion. The most important thing now was to find Liu Zhaoxian and find out more about the Golden Light Cave, so that he could make more preparations.
With this thought in mind, Wang Yan did not linger in Zhenlin Garden any longer, and floated towards the outside.
Elder Yun Jian's Zhenlin Garden was located halfway up the mountain, while Lingyun, Yingyue, and the other two peaks were located at the four corners of the back mountain. Wang Yan left Zhenlin Garden and hurried towards Yingyue Peak. However, he had not gone far when he felt several auras looming in front of him. Sure enough, when Wang Yan walked another few dozen meters and went around a mountain bend, he saw a middle-aged man with disheveled hair sitting on a large rock on the cliff in front of him. Opposite the rock was an old tree, and a thin, bald man was leaning lazily against the old tree with a grass root in his mouth. In addition, there was a suspended pavilion on the cliff, in which two people sat facing each other, with a stone chessboard between them. The two of them were holding black and white chess pieces, and they were talking.
When Wang Yan went around the mountain bend and saw the four people in full view, the middle-aged man sitting on the rock was the first to stand up, and said, "The main character is finally here."
