Initially, the formation at the entrance of the stone chamber was rather complicated and mysterious. However, after countless years, it was on the verge of collapse and could collapse at any moment.
After observing for a while, Su Zimo began to dispel the formation.
At daybreak, the ancient formation was finally dispelled. Everyone cheered and followed Su Zimo into the stone chamber.
This stone chamber was much more spacious than the others.
There was a stone bed in the stone room, and on top of it sat a withered corpse. The moment everyone entered the stone room, the air moved, and the corpse quietly turned into ashes.
Even Perfected Being Jin Dan could not withstand the corrosion of time and did not leave any traces behind.
This stone chamber did not look like a formation chamber. Instead, it looked more like the cultivation chamber of Perfected Being Jin Dan. There were a few shelves on both sides of the stone bed with many ancient books, bamboo slips, secret scrolls and jade bottles of elixirs placed on them.
Su Zimo went forward and flipped through them casually. The items in the stone chamber were all-encompassing. There were some talisman crafting methods, elixir recipes and secret scrolls on formation techniques.
"Meridian Unlocking Elixir!"
Right then, Su Xiaoning's voice sounded, filled with surprise and joy.
Everyone looked over and saw Su Xiaoning gripping a jade bottle tightly with an excited expression. "There are Meridian Unlocking Elixirs here!"
"Ah, how many are there?"
Little Fatty and the others asked hurriedly.
Su Xiaoning hesitated for a moment before replying slowly, "13!"
"Haha, that's great!"
Si Yutang could not help but burst into laughter.
If there were only three Meridian Unlocking Elixirs, he would not have a chance at all. Now that there were 13 more Meridian Unlocking Elixirs, he could definitely get one.
Jun Hao was expressionless as he lowered his head slightly with a cold glint in his eyes.
Su Xiaoning continued, "Furthermore, the Meridian Unlocking Elixirs in this jade bottle are of a higher grade. Five of them are superior-grade while the rest are middle-grade."
The other cultivators exchanged glances and smiled as well.
This could be considered a pleasant surprise.
Including the three Meridian Unlocking Pills from before, there were a total of sixteen Meridian Unlocking Pills. After distributing them to everyone, there was still a surplus.
This meant that in the following period of time, everyone could choose to cultivate in seclusion and didn't have to take the risk to go out and search for treasures until they returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty a year later.
In the Primordial Battlefield, the longer one trained outside, the easier it was for one to encounter danger.
Not only did they have to be wary of beasts and ancient creatures, but they also had to be wary of threats from other sects and factions.
But now, all of this no longer existed.
Su Zimo smiled faintly, seemingly a little absent-minded.
When Ji Yaoxue saw Su Zimo's smile, she frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The timing of taking the Meridian Unlocking Pill was rather particular.
Typically speaking, most cultivators would make use of the rich spirit qi of the ancient battlefield to cultivate. After unlocking their sixth spirit meridian, they would consume the Meridian Unlocking Elixir and attempt to unlock their seventh spirit meridian.
Among Su Zimo's group, only Ji Chengtian was at six meridian Foundation Establishment.
However, Ji Chengtian held the Meridian Unlocking Elixir in his hands and pondered for a long time without consuming it, putting it away instead.
When he saw that, Su Zimo nodded to himself.
It was clear that Ji Chengtian wanted to try unlocking his seventh spirit meridian with his own strength and see if he could unlock his eighth meridian by consuming the Meridian Unlocking Elixir at the last moment!
Naturally, Su Zimo would not consume it either.
On one hand, it was because his cultivation realm was too low and it would be a waste for him to consume the Meridian Unlocking Elixir at four meridian Foundation Establishment.
On the other hand, the grade of the Meridian Unlocking Elixir was way too low.
Ever since he started cultivating, Su Zimo had consumed extremely few elixirs. However, all of them were perfect-grade.
Before entering the ancient battlefield, Su Zimo had already made up his mind to not only find the Meridian Unlocking Elixir, he had to find a perfect-grade one!
The reason why Foundation Establishment was called Foundation Establishment was because it was a process of establishing one's cultivation foundation.
The more perfect one's Foundation Establishment was, the lower the chances of problems occurring in one's future cultivation.
To begin with, Su Zimo was a dual immortal and demonic cultivator. The path of the Dao was fraught with dangers and he would not allow any flaws to appear in his path of immortality!
Everyone had not slept for an entire day and night and had even fought a tough battle. Now that they had settled down, they felt waves of fatigue surging through them.
Without a second word, Little Fatty found a random place to sleep.
Shi Jian scratched his head and found a place to rest as well.
"If you're tired, take a rest first."
Su Zimo nodded and turned to leave.
Looking at Su Zimo's back view, Ji Yaoxue pondered for a moment before following him.
After leaving the cave abode, Su Zimo surveyed his surroundings and soared into the air, patrolling the vicinity before returning.
At the entrance of the cave abode, Ji Yaoxue stood there, looking at Su Zimo who had returned.
"Zimo, what are you doing?" Ji Yaoxue asked.
Su Zimo smiled. "I've taken a look. This cave abode has a steep terrain and is located halfway up the mountain. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are also some traces of formation patterns around it. I can repair them and this is an excellent place for seclusion. You guys can cultivate here in peace."
Suddenly, Ji Yaoxue asked, "Zimo, where are you going?"
"Ah?
Su Zimo was stunned for a moment.
He did not expect that Ji Yaoxue would discover the abnormality in his unintentional words.
Ji Yaoxue did not say anything and merely tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Zimo quietly.
After a moment of silence, Su Zimo smiled bitterly. "I want to take a look at the depths of the ancient battlefield."
"We have enough Meridian Unlocking Elixirs and can cultivate here. We can return to the Great Zhou Dynasty after a year. It's way too dangerous to enter the depths of the ancient battlefield!" Ji Yaoxue frowned.
"Zimo, the beasts in the depths of the ancient battlefield are not the only things that are ferocious. The cultivators you meet are strong as well and can even kill those above their level. There are also many top factions and successors of super sects. You're alone …"
Ji Yaoxue did not continue but there was a deep look of worry on her face.
Su Zimo pretended to smile casually. "It's fine. Even if I can't defeat them, I'll be able to escape given my strength."
There was no way he could explain the Meridian Unlocking Elixir in a sentence or two.
Furthermore, Su Zimo could vaguely sense that even without the Meridian Unlocking Elixir, he would still head towards the depths of the ancient battlefield without hesitation.
He was not a scholar by nature and his bloodline was filled with restlessness. He was bold and fearless!
He wanted to see for himself what the so-called disciples of the immortal sects, successors of the Buddhist monasteries and legacy disciples of top factions were like.
Or rather, Su Zimo wanted to fight to his heart's content with those people!
"I'll go with you then!"
Ji Yaoxue said, "With one more person, we'll have more power."
"No,"
Su Zimo rejected decisively and shook his head. "Yaoxue, there's no need for you to risk your life in the depths of the ancient battlefield with me. You can cultivate here. I'll return after a year. "
"Really?" Ji Yaoxue pouted her lips doubtfully.
"Of course."
Su Zimo chuckled.
"When are you leaving?"
"Let's stay for a few more days. I'll repair the ancient formation around this cave abode."
Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo retracted his smile and turned with a stern expression. "There's something I've got to remind you. There's still a traitor among us!"
Ji Yaoxue's expression changed slightly as she asked, "Who is it?"
"It might be Jun Hao."
No matter what, Jun Hao had never done anything bad right from the beginning and Su Zimo could not kill him just because of his suspicions.
Furthermore, Jun Hao was once the senior brother of Ji Yaoxue and Xiaoning and had a special identity.
He just had to inform Ji Yaoxue about this so that she could be prepared.
