Ling Yun didn't intend to leave the crater during the day. Therefore, he had plenty of time and wasn't in a hurry.
Moreover, his most important target, the True Dragon's corpse, had already been kept in the Taixu Ring. All his worries were gone, so he naturally wasn't in a hurry.
Ling Yun's current target was very clear. It was the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell's eye and the Yang Yang Formation's eye!
He naturally knew that the huge cave where the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell's eye was located had been moved to Shennongjia by the Qian Kun Shift Spell. Even though the spell was destroyed, Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak were still there. Therefore, the two eye of the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell were definitely still there.
After all, the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell was set up by the ancient almighty with the help of the terrain. As long as there was no earth-shattering event that caused a huge change in the terrain, the positions of the two Spell Cores would not change too much.
When the Qian Kun Teleportation Formation was activated, it caused the earth to shake violently, but it was only because the formation's sky-stealing power had moved away the cave at the heart of the formation. It did not change the terrain of Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak.
Ling Yun knew that just by looking at the position of the underground river at the bottom of the Great Crater, there were no changes.
Of course, compared to half a year ago, Ling Yun had a huge advantage in exploring the crater. At that time, he was only at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Level 3. Other than the Emperor Brush and some beginner talismans, he had nothing else to rely on. Now, he was at the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Three. He was strong and had countless magical treasures. He could deal with any unexpected situation. Moreover, he had the Water Repellent Pearl.
Back then, Ling Yun had a hard time dealing with a giant python at the bottom of the crater. He didn't even dare to cross the underground river at the bottom of the crater. But now, the crater was filled with water that was more than a hundred meters deep, and the underground river was connected to the water. Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen could come and go as they pleased in the water. They could walk and fly as they pleased. The gigantic strange fish and countless football-sized toads in the water all hid far away from them. They couldn't even get close to them.
This feeling couldn't be any better!
Of course, Ling Yun was still very cautious. After all, this place had been set up by an ancient powerhouse. Back then, even his divine sense, which was at Qi Cultivation Stage Nine, couldn't detect it. Therefore, he didn't dare to be careless.
Caution is the parent of safety.
At this moment, Ling Yun once again brought Ye Xingchen to the southeast corner of the sinkhole. He walked under the lid of the hundred-meter-tall cliff and stared at the nine caves on the cliff that seemed to have been carved by a knife.
The last time Ling Yun and Little White entered the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell, they entered from here. They went through the third cave in the south.
"Ling Yun, what treasure did you get the last time you came to this crater?"
Ye Xingchen was very curious about Ling Yun's affairs. She seized every opportunity to ask, unwilling to miss a single one.
Hearing this question, Ling Yun couldn't help but smile. "Wife, let me tell you. Your man, I, started my career by exploring this crater."
The Blood Transformation Blade, the Dragon Vein Sword, the ninety-nine Night-Luminescent Pearls, the Bodhi Seed, the Buddha Beads, the green lamp, the mysterious gourd, more than a thousand kilograms of dragon saliva, and even the Earth Emperor's Book. Later on, when Ling Yun went to Shennongjia, he found the Shennong Cauldron in that medicinal valley that had existed for god knows how many years, as well as a large number of thousands of years old spiritual herbs …
There was also Little Black, who had successfully transformed into a dragon, Little White, who had grown three tails, and Ling Yun who had successfully cultivated the Yin-Yang harmony balance here. He had even broken through to the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique …
All of this was due to the first time he explored this crater!
"Back then, when my team first opened, there was only one person and one spear …"
Ling Yun couldn't help but sing when he thought about it.
Of course, the spear that Ling Yun was singing about wasn't the Golden Dragon Spear, but the Emperor Brush.
Seeing Ling Yun's proud expression, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but bite her bright red lips and raise her eyebrows. "Are you done yet?"
"Hehe, wife, let me tell you, I've obtained too many treasures in this crater. For example, the Blood Transformation Blade, the Dragon Vein Sword, and even the Shennong Cauldron, dragon saliva, that mysterious gourd …"
It could be said that other than the secrets of the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor's Book, Ling Yun described the entire process of his exploration of the crater to Ye Xingchen.
Following Ling Yun's narration, Ye Xingchen's mouth opened wider and wider. In the end, she was completely dumbfounded and stunned!
"Oh my god, no wonder so many martial arts experts have entered this crater but came back empty-handed. So all the opportunities in the crater were obtained by you alone!"
Ye Xingchen didn't mention treasures this time. Instead, she mentioned opportunities. That was because obtaining so many treasures in one go wasn't just good luck, but truly great opportunities!
"Hehe, so-so. Didn't you see those monks from the Shaolin Temple calling me a Tribulation Taker? If I didn't have any opportunities, why would I be Tribulation Taker?!"
The corners of Ling Yun's mouth curled into a bright smile as he chuckled.
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but ask him if the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor's Book were really obtained by Ling Yun. However, Ye Xingchen suppressed this curiosity and didn't ask further.
She was exceptionally intelligent and naturally knew that if Ling Yun was determined to tell her, he would definitely tell her. However, if Ling Yun didn't say and she insisted on asking, Ling Yun might tell her. However, if that happened, the taste would be different, and Ye Xingchen didn't want to experience that feeling.
Looking at the nine dark caves, Ye Xingchen asked with interest, "Then, shall we go in now?"
"There's no rush. We have plenty of time this time. Let's explore this underground river first."
Who knew that Ling Yun would give a new suggestion? Due to the influence of the strange fish in the underground river, Ling Yun didn't dare to stay in the underground river for too long. He was still brooding over it. Now that he had the Water Avoidance Pearl, it was so convenient. Of course, Ling Yun wouldn't miss this opportunity again.
"Alright, here you go!"
Hearing that Ling Yun wanted to explore the underground river, Ye Xingchen immediately got excited. She handed the Water Avoidance Pearl to Ling Yun and asked him to lead the way.
"Let's go upstream first and see where this underground river comes from."
Ling Yun had seen the lower reaches of the underground river before. He knew that the water from the underground river would flow into an even larger pit more than a hundred meters below the crater. He had a vague feeling that this underground river might lead directly to the East Sea. Therefore, Ling Yun decided to head upstream to investigate.
"Upstream? Don't tell me that the water of this underground river doesn't come from Qingshui Lake? "
Ye Xingchen asked casually.
"That's impossible. Do you know how big Qingshui Lake is? Even the deepest part is only seven to eight meters deep. If it flowed like this, Qingshui Lake would have dried up a long time ago. "
"The bottom of Qingshui Lake is more than two hundred meters above this underground river. They aren't even in the same water system."
As Ling Yun spoke, he had already moved to the center of the crater. However, because of the Water Avoidance Pearl, the turbulent water flow around his Water Avoidance Space didn't affect him in the slightest.
Ye Xingchen naturally followed closely. The two of them started to fly upstream along the underground river. They traveled more than a hundred meters per second. Their speed was simply too fast.
This underground river was flowing from east to west near the sinkhole. However, after the two of them flew against the current for seven to eight kilometers, they found that the main stream of the underground river had changed its course. It turned to the north and began to flow northwest.
After traveling for seven to eight kilometers, Ling Yun realized that this underground river was actually a huge water system under Qingshui City. The underground river was the main stream, but there were more than ten tributaries along the way. They all came from different directions and entered this underground river. That was why such a turbulent current was formed.
"Hehe, it's really dark. We're now more than a hundred meters below Qingshui City …"
They followed the underground river upstream. Even though the water flow was still turbulent, it was much weaker compared to the crater. Moreover, Ling Yun realized that they were getting closer and closer to the surface of Qingshui City.
In the blue light of the Water Avoidance Space, Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes sparkled. She was simply too shocked. Even in her dreams, she never imagined that she would one day be able to accompany Ling Yun to explore this underground river more than a hundred meters below the ground. Even if they didn't discover anything, she was already extremely satisfied.
It was just the two of them, and they felt really blessed.
Ling Yun continued, "I have a rough idea of where the underground river water comes from. Let's explore a bit more before heading back."
Ye Xingchen naturally listened to Ling Yun. She could vaguely feel it too, so she nodded her head.
Following that, the two of them continued upstream. In less than ten minutes, they had traveled another thirty kilometers. The terrain of the underground river rose steadily, and they were already infinitely close to the surface.
Ling Yun suddenly stopped and didn't continue forward. He and Ye Xingchen looked at each other, and the two of them smiled knowingly. They said at the same time, "Qingshui River."
The main stream of the underground river came from the Qingshui River in the northern suburbs of Qingshui City. It poured in from the bottom of a riverbed somewhere in the northwest of Qingshui City and flowed all the way through the mountainous areas in the western suburbs of Qingshui City. It gathered the underground water veins formed by the mountain waterfalls and springs, as well as the underground water that seeped into the ground from the rain in Qingshui City. That was how this turbulent underground river was formed.
"Looks like the world-renowned Qingshui River Tide is also related to this underground river."
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes flickered as she began to analyze.
Ling Yun nodded excitedly. "That's right. Looks like I've really chosen a good place for those two Flood Dragons to stay at Qingshui Wharf!"
This was a huge water system cycle. On the surface, the water of the Qingshui River flowed directly into Qingshui Wharf, from where it flowed into the East Sea. Meanwhile, a portion of the water of the Qingshui River flowed into the ground somewhere in the northwest of Qingshui City, forming this underground river. It flowed from the northwest to the southeast, passing through the entire underground of Qingshui City before reaching the crater. Finally, the water flowed into the East Sea!
East Sea, Qingshui Wharf, underground river, crater, and then into the East Sea!
The two Flood Dragons were hiding in this underground river. Even if the Long Family exhausted themselves to death, they still wouldn't be able to catch them!
Ling Yun had already found the perfect place for Big Red and Little Black to stay. This was already a huge reward.
"Let's go, there's no need to explore anymore. Let's go back to the crater."
Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen didn't enter Qingshui River. The two of them decisively went back the way they came.
"Ling Yun, you're really amazing!"
On the way back, Ye Xingchen looked at Ling Yun's side profile and said sincerely.
…
Old Bu really racked his brains for such a plot. Nobody expected this, right?
