Following Tian Xuzi's directions, Jian Chen flew twenty-five kilometers to the south. As expected, he found a huge gorge. It was so deep that he could not see the bottom.
Jianchen floated in the air and slowly descended to the bottom of the gorge. According to Tian Xuzi, the Sage King's dwelling was located at the bottom of the gorge. It was very well hidden and would be very difficult to find.
Very soon, Jianchen arrived at the bottom of the gorge. There was a huge pool of water at the bottom of the gorge. It emitted an intense chill that was bone-chilling. The chill assaulted his body, making him feel like he was being cut by a knife.
Jianchen scanned his surroundings. It was very dark and the visibility was very low. However, it did not affect Jianchen much. He could clearly see his surroundings. The bottom of the gorge was very large. He could not see the end of it. The entire bottom of the gorge was covered by the pool of water. There was no place to stand.
"This is already the bottom of the gorge. I wonder where the Sage King's dwelling is." Jianchen mumbled to himself. He knew nothing about the Sage King's dwelling other than its name. He did not even know what it looked like. Coupled with the fact that it was very well hidden, it would be even more difficult to find it.
Jianchen released his spiritual sense at full strength, covering a radius of fifteen kilometers. He did not even miss the bottom of the water. He carefully observed his surroundings, not missing a single spot.
Jian Chen flew along the cliff face, sticking close to the surface of the water as he slowly flew at a low altitude. Wherever he passed by, the senses of his soul would be inspected time and time again. He searched extremely carefully. Even the slightest pulse of energy would not be able to escape his senses as long as it was within the range of Jian Chen's soul.
"Splash!"
The water below Jianchen suddenly exploded. An anaconda as thick as a water tank leapt out of the water. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at Jianchen with lightning speed. It was very sudden.
Jianchen frowned slightly. He had already discovered the anaconda hiding in the water, but he was currently focused on finding the Sage King's dwelling. He was not in the mood to care about anything else. He was very unhappy with the anaconda's disturbance.
A cold light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He snorted and grabbed at the air. The fire element in the surroundings immediately surged wildly, gathering towards Jianchen's hand at an unbelievable speed.
In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a sword of fire element that radiated with intense heat. It then turned into a streak of red light and shot towards the anaconda below at an even faster speed.
The sword of fire element directly shot into the anaconda's wide open mouth and exploded seven inches from the anaconda's body.
The giant serpent's body was blown to pieces. Waves of fire spread out from the giant serpent's body, dispersing the cold air in the surrounding space, making the originally cold space warm up, making people feel comfortable.
With a thought from Jianchen, a sparkling crystal about the size of a fist flew out of the cold pond and landed in Jianchen's hand. This was a Class 5 Monster Core. Although it was not as precious to Jianchen as before, its value was still considerable.
Jian Chen continued to shrink at the bottom of the valley. His body was only twenty meters away from the surface of the water. The cold air rising from the surface of the water had already eroded Jian Chen's dry clothes, causing them to become wet.
Although the bottom of the canyon was very large, Jianchen only spent two hours to collect the entire bottom of the canyon. However, he was disappointed that he did not find anything. He did not find the location of the Sage King's cave.
Jianchen floated in the air and pondered. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the pond below and he muttered, "Could it be under the pond?" Thinking of this, Jianchen did not hesitate and immediately dove into the water.
Just as Jianchen's body approached the water surface, the calm water surface silently separated into two sides, forming a crack in the vacuum zone. Jianchen's body directly fell into the crack and quickly sank down. Wherever his body passed, the surrounding water would separate to the two sides, not contaminating Jianchen's body. As a result, an oval-shaped vacuum zone formed around Jianchen's body.
The bottom of the pond was not deep, only around five hundred meters. Jianchen arrived at the bottom of the pond very quickly. The temperature at the bottom of the pond was much lower than the surface of the water, causing Jianchen to involuntarily shiver. It was impossible for anyone below the level of Earth Saint Master to survive here. Just the cold air was enough to threaten their lives.
The bottom of the pond was pitch-black, so dark that he could not even see his own fingers. However, Jianchen had the help of the senses of his soul, so the darkness did not affect him at all. Afterwards, Jianchen slowly moved forward at the bottom of the pond, using the senses of his soul to search every inch of the place.
Although Jianchen's senses could cover the bottom of the pond, the water here was very strange. Not only was it extremely cold, it could also weaken Jianchen's senses. As a result, Jianchen could not guarantee that he could accurately see the situation at the bottom of the pond from above.
There were many different kinds of creatures living in the pond, but the strongest among them were only Class 5 Magical Beasts. They posed no threat to Jianchen at all.
Another two hours passed. Jian Chen had already searched through the bottom of the pool, but to his disappointment, he still did not find anything. He did not even find a single trace of his body.
Jianchen rushed out of the pond and hovered above the surface of the water that emitted a bone-chilling coldness. His brows were tightly knitted together. He originally thought that with the coverage of his soul, nothing would be able to escape his senses. He would definitely be able to easily find the Saint Ruler's dwelling. However, after searching for a while, Jianchen suddenly realized that the Saint Ruler's dwelling was much better hidden than he had imagined.
"Tian Xuzi clearly said that the Saint Ruler's dwelling was at the bottom of the canyon. Why haven't I found anything after searching everywhere?" Jianchen muttered to himself with furrowed brows, thinking bitterly.
"Could it be that Tian Xuzi lied to me and the Saint Ruler's dwelling is not here? Or could it be that there's more to the canyon and I've come to the wrong place? "
Jianchen's body suddenly shot up into the sky like an arrow. In an instant, he had flown out of the canyon and circled around to see if there was a second canyon.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Jianchen had returned. He had searched every inch of the surrounding twenty kilometers, but there was only one canyon. There was no second one.
Jianchen returned to the bottom of the canyon and hovered above the surface of the pond, thinking bitterly. The Saint Ruler's dwelling was just too hidden. He had not found anything at all. He even began to wonder if the Saint Ruler's dwelling was even here.
"Master, Ziying knows where the Saint Ruler's dwelling is." Suddenly, a voice sounded in Jianchen's mind. The Azure and Purple Sword Spirits responded to Jianchen's distress and took the initiative to speak.
Hearing this, Jianchen was overjoyed. He immediately used his consciousness to communicate with the Azure and Purple Sword Spirits, "Ziying, you can find the Saint Ruler's dwelling?"
"Yes, master. The Saint Ruler's dwelling is isolated by a layer of formation. Master's soul is still too weak, so it is impossible for you to find the Saint Ruler's dwelling." Ziying said.
