A few days later, a million miles away from the Blue Waves Island...
Deep under the sea, there was a bottomless trench. Countless caves were carved into the stone walls of the trench.
The place was dark, having not seen sunlight for 10,000 years. Coupled with the fact that it was deep under the sea, it was cold all year round, causing the place to be extremely cold.
The densely packed dark holes on the stone walls were like giant mouths that were ready to swallow anyone who passed by at any time.
Su Yu stood above the trench, revolving his spirit energy to protect his body. He secretly used his Soul Eyes to investigate the caves.
Strangely, the cold energy was so thick that even his Soul Eyes could not see through it!
He could only faintly see that there was a thin layer of water membrane outside each cave.
The larger the cave, the more water membrane rippled.
The lowest water membrane ripples only had one layer of water membrane ripples. The largest one, which was the huge cave in the center, had nearly four layers of water membrane ripples!
The ripples of the water membrane bounced off Su Yu's Soul Energy forcefully.
"Restriction!" Su Yu calmly retracted his Soul Eyes.
Qi Ming put away the divine flying ship, speaking frankly. "Does anyone know where this place used to be?"
Su Yu and Zheng Bing did not speak. They stared at the strange, densely packed caves, not saying a word.
Xin Wuhen creased her brows, uncertain. "Could this be the birthplace of the Ghost Clan, one of the Eight Great Ancient Clans, the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave?"
Qi Ming had a look of admiration. "Miss Xin is knowledgeable. I am impressed. This place is indeed the furthest birthplace of the Ghost Clan! It is rumored that the Ghost Clan lived here in the past.
After a great change, they migrated to the southern continent, and this place was abandoned. "
The gazes of the group fell on Su Yu. The Black Snow Devil King had the Bloodline of the Ghost Clan. This was something that everyone on the continent knew.
Qi Ming continued, "The Undead Herb of the Netherworld is the treasure of the Ghost Clan. Only the Ghost Clan's Evil Ghost Energy, nourished for many years, can it be successfully nurtured! Even though this place has been abandoned, according to our investigation, no one has discovered this place over the years! We are certain that there are remnants of the Evil Ghost Energy within the ruins. They have grown stronger over the years and might have already nurtured one or two Undead Herbs of the Netherworld.
The only way to obtain this herb is to enter deep within. "
The few of them looked at each other. After thinking for a long time, they nodded in agreement.
If this place hadn't been opened since ancient times, then the possibility of the Undead Herb of the Netherworld being here was extremely low.
Qi Ming stared at the cave in the middle, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Everyone, since we have been reading ancient texts, the cave in the center leads to the sacrificial altar of the Ghost Race. That is the place where the Ghost Race offers sacrifices to the heavens. It is filled with dense Ghost Qi all year round, and the Undead Herb of the Netherworld is most likely there."
Zheng Bing rolled his eyes. "I'll say the ugly words first. Before we reach the altar, none of us are allowed to attack each other! Only when we find the Undead Herb of the Netherworld can we then rely on our own abilities. If anyone breaks the rules and attacks first, the other three will surround and kill him! "
The four of them exchanged glances and agreed.
Before they found their target, it was too early to kill each other.
"Since everyone agrees, then it's easy to discuss." Qi Ming chuckled. Soon after, his expression turned serious. "The cave we are going to enter has four layers of restrictions! They are extremely powerful. If one enters carelessly and activates the restrictions, they will only end up dead! "
Looking at the restrictions, the corners of Qi Ming's mouth twitched. "I won't hide it from everyone. Actually, during our previous investigations, a Heaven Master that we hired from the Golden Light Pavilion was careless and triggered the restrictions. His blood was sucked dry, and he died."
Eh? Everyone's heart skipped a beat. To be able to kill a Heaven Master so easily, this restriction was very dangerous.
"There are four layers of restrictions in total, and the power of each layer is roughly similar. To be fair, the four of us will each break one restriction," Qi Ming said. "Based on my calculations, the closer we are to the outside restrictions, the more dangerous it is. Hence, the arrangements are as follows!
I will be the first to break the restriction, Xin Wuhen will be the second, and Zheng Bing will be the third. As for the last one, in theory, the Black Snow Devil King will break it. However, when the time comes, I hope that everyone will lend a helping hand. Help him break the restriction together. "
They were satisfied with this arrangement. Apart from Zheng Bing, who was slightly dissatisfied with being behind Xin Wuhen, the rest of them had no objections.
In order to reassure them, as the initiator, Qi Ming, was naturally the first to try the situation they had been hoping for.
After the discussion, Qi Ming flew to the front of the giant cave. The aura of a Heaven Master was faintly discernible.
Su Yu was shocked. Qi Ming had hidden his aura very well!
Even though his aura was not as strong as the other two, he was not weak either.
Qi Ming first took out a dark blue charm from his sleeves, crazily imbuing spirit energy into it.
Xin Wuhen exclaimed, "The Broken God Charm contains an attack close to that of a Human King. Its power is extremely strong and cannot be underestimated. It is a life-saving charm that is priceless. To think that Shopkeeper Qi would take out two of them at once!"
Su Yu was secretly shocked. What a large sum of money! Two talismans, one of which was worth more than a black crystal!
Thirty percent of Shopkeeper Qi's spirit energy was absorbed into the charm. At once, the entire charm released a hazy blue glow. A frightening spiritual pressure spread out in layers.
Su Yu and the rest of them involuntarily took a few steps back, avoiding the suppression of the spiritual pressure.
After the rune was completely suppressed, Shopkeeper Qi's eyes flashed, and he quickly retreated while throwing the God Breaker Rune in his hand.
A blinding blue light exploded. A frightening power that was close to that of a Human King suddenly spread out!
After the blue charm was broken, the blue light that exploded out gathered once again, becoming a long and thin blue sword. It sliced toward the outermost layer of the water membrane.
The ripple was attacked, shaking violently and flashing wildly. It looked as if it would shatter at the next moment.
But as the blue sword disappeared, the water membrane gradually stabilized. Only a few cracks were left, which were slowly healing.
An attack from a Human King had not been able to destroy a single seal!
The expressions of everyone, including Su Yu, turned grave.
The strength of the seal here was beyond what they had expected.
Qi Ming was also a little surprised. He creased his brows and flew down once again. With a grunt, he activated an immortal-level technique, cultivating it to Stage Two Top Class!
Under the impact, the power of the universe descended. A five-zhang large green footprint, glowing with a hazy green light, stomped down.
With a deafening sound, the first layer of the water membrane shattered with a bang.
Qi Ming took a deep breath, his face slightly pale.
Using the Broken God Charm had expended so much effort. It was no wonder that no one had set foot here in the past 10,000 years.
"Miss Xin, please," Qi Ming said with a smile. His gaze was dark as he observed Xin Wuhen breaking the seal.
Xin Wuhen stepped forward expressionlessly. Her red dress fluttered gently in the water. Coupled with her cold expression, she looked cold.
She formed seals with her ten fingers. She was as fast as a blur, and the shadow of a giant tiger formed behind her.
Zheng Bing had a fearful expression. "Soul summoning technique? How could it be? This is a mysterious technique that only existed 10,000 years ago. It has long been lost. Where did this Xin Wuhen come from? "
