"Let's communicate spiritually. That way, you can share my vision."
In the Emperor's Relic, Jiang Li radiated his powerful spiritual energy in all directions like a radar. He could clearly sense everything within a few hundred miles. Wang Rulai couldn't do that. His spiritual energy was not as strong as Jiang Li's, but through special means, his spiritual energy was connected to Jiang Li's and they could share their vision.
"That's the best."
Wang Rulai was envious. "If I had your spiritual energy, I would have advanced to the Embryonic Breathing realm long ago. What a pity."
Then, the two of them kept searching in the depths of the lake. The lake was extremely large, almost boundless. Diving into it, one could feel the beauty of the underwater world. The last time Jiang Li came down, he was nervous and in a hurry. He hadn't felt the mystery of the underwater world. Now, he didn't have to be afraid. He carefully observed and found that it was completely different. The topography and geomancy of the bottom of the lake had a unique flavor.
The geomancy underwater was different from that on the surface.
Often, a good cave on the surface would become an ominous cave underwater, while an ominous cave on the surface would become a good cave underwater.
"Eh? That is a good cave for the Jade Vortex Wind. This Spirit Cave can form an energy vortex and gather spiritual energy. Between the vortexes, some spiritual energy can seep out from the two-dimensional space. If you practice here, you will get twice the result with half the effort. "Wang Rulai observed and pointed to a mountain range at the bottom of the lake.
The mountain range was in a spiral shape. It was like the crater of a volcano. It went deep into the bottom of the lake. It was as dark as ink, and no one knew how deep it was.
When Jiang Li saw this geomancy, he knew that if it was on the surface, it would be an ominous cave. It would gather evil energy, and no one would be able to gather or bury corpses within a radius of many miles.
But here, it was filled with water vapor. Under the heavy pressure, the evil energy dissipated, but it became a very good pattern.
However, no matter how good it was, it was useless to be buried underwater.
"I think the entire Black Dragon Pond is a kind of geomancy pattern. It is not formed naturally like your archipelago base, but man-made." Wang Rulai observed and faced Jiang Li. "Look, the good caves here are connected. Beside it is the White Tiger Biting the Corpse, and behind it is the Green Dragon Jealous of its Master and the Black Tortoise Facing the Water."
"As expected."
Jiang Li's horizons were broadened and he realized that there were Fengshui layouts everywhere. He and Rulai Wang landed in one of the Fengshui layouts and came out of the Great Emperor's relic.
Wang Rulai slashed out with his palm, and the stream of water formed a sharp blade, cutting off a piece of rock. Then, he took out the optical supercomputer to check, and a lot of detailed information immediately appeared.
"It's man-made. This landform was built about three thousand years ago. The method of construction seems to be to use energy to smelt all kinds of minerals to form a circuit, and then flood this basin."
The A.I. microchip began to analyze, and it even began to simulate the process of the Blackdragon Lagoon's construction. In the A.I.'s simulation, Jiang Li saw a huge amount of energy descend from the heavens. Mountains and rivers rose up, and the earth collapsed, forming all sorts of spirit caves.
In the end, the earth caved in, and heavy rain poured down. After several years, the Black Dragon Pond was formed.
"Only three thousand years old? Where did these black snakes come from? " Jiang Li knew that the A.I.'s analysis was absolutely reliable. Three thousand years might be a long time for humans, but for geological time, it was simply too short.
Geological time could easily be millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years. All kinds of minerals could only be built after a very long time, and the same was true for the evolution of species.
"This batch of black snakes was brought here by the cultivator who opened up the underwater cave abode of the Black Dragon Pond." Wang Rulai's expression was calm as he analyzed the situation. "Look, there's another black snake there."
Sure enough, in a spirit cave in the distance, another black snake was winding its way back to its nest. It seemed that it had successfully hunted outside and had eaten its fill, so it was returning to its nest to sleep.
Beside it, there was some Dragon Seeking Grass.
"Let's go collect the Dragon Seeking Grass." Jiang Li flashed in the water, and a powerful spiritual wave was transmitted, directly piercing into the black snake's mind.
The black snake was shocked and suddenly opened its eyes, as if it was about to fly into a rage. However, it then went limp like a pool of mud.
Jiang Li hypnotized the black snake.
"What a strong spiritual force. This black snake's spiritual force is only slightly weaker than mine. It's about one dimensional unit." He was shocked. The black snake's spiritual force was so strong. How big were its brain cells? It definitely wasn't an ordinary snake.
The two of them fell into the depths of the nest and began to collect the Dragon Seeking Grass. Wang Rulai exclaimed, "You're amazing. You can directly hypnotize this black snake and sneak in silently. If you kill this black snake, there will be a fierce battle. I'm afraid the Black Dragon King will be alerted."
"This black snake has research value. Don't kill it first. Put it in my space." Jiang Li opened the space, and the black snake obediently went in under the effect of hypnosis.
Originally, when opening a space under the water, the pressure of the water would pour into the space. However, the moment Jiang Li opened the space, he used the Great Emperor's Seal to control the water flow. Only the black snake could enter.
On land, he could control the airflow to form a barrier. It was even more convenient to control the water flow under the water because the airflow was invisible and hard to control, but the water had mass, so it was easier to control.
The black snake entered the space, and Jiang Li immediately destroyed its mind, turning it into a plant snake.
This snake's value was very high, and it could be used for research. Moreover, its flesh and skin were all good materials, especially its skin. After being processed, it could be made into leather bags, leather clothes, or even armor, which could be sold for a high price.
Wang Rulai collected the Dragon Seeking Grass one by one and was overjoyed.
Each stalk of grass was a priceless treasure.
After harvesting the Dragonseeking Grass, Jiang Li and Meng Hao entered the depths of the lake to observe the surroundings. Whenever they encountered a black snake, they would hypnotize it and send it into the Grand Emperor śarīra's dimension. After three or four days, the Grand Emperor śarīra's dimension was filled to the brim with snakes. Only then did they return to the lake. They walked far away and threw the black snakes into the valley for Dahei to absorb.
The Dragon Seeking Grass was left behind to be used in medicine for future use.
Back then, it was too wasteful for Jiang Li to directly use the Dragon Seeking Grass. With the current technology, they could mix the Dragon Seeking Grass with various medicinal ingredients and make biological medicine, which was very effective.
After observing for a few days, Jiang Li and Wang Rulai found nothing except some Dragon Seeking Grass. They didn't find anything strange about the underwater cultivator's cave abode.
However, the two didn't lose heart. They calmed down and continued to search.
As for Dahei and the other cats, they had absorbed the power of at least dozens of black snakes. Each cat looked like a big tiger. After taking the gene medicine, they all mutated.
However, they were often struck by lightning. Sometimes, lightning would appear out of nowhere and wrap around them. Unfortunately, the lightning didn't kill them. Instead, it strengthened their physique and made it easier to obtain the genes of the Sky Shaking Thunder Beast.
If they were humans, they would have died after being struck by lightning.
In the process of the cats gradually evolving into Sky Shaking Thunder Beasts, their absorption of lightning became stronger. Lightning, which was feared by everyone in the Devil Path, was like sweet wine to them.
A large number of gene medicines were taken, and the vitality of the cats rose steadily. Even Wang Rulai was amazed. He went back again and bought a large number of Sky Shaking Thunder Beast gene medicines for Dahei and the other cats to use. At the same time, he took the collected Dragon Seeking Grass back and made medicine in his base.
Wang Rulai had established his own base, and the most important thing was the research of medicine. He also had a unique understanding of the production of Dragon Seeking Grass.
After exploring for another ten days or so, half a month passed by peacefully. Finally, the two of them had almost figured out the general situation of the entire Black Dragon Swamp. Only the central area had not been to. A large number of black snakes had been killed, a large number of Dragon Seeking Grass had been collected, and a large amount of wealth had been accumulated.
The central area was where the Black Dragon King lived, and the cave abode was likely to be there.
After figuring out the situation, Jiang Li and Wang Rulai decided to start exploring. They would go deep into the central area and attack the root of the problem.
A stone that was the same color as water traveled silently in the depths of the Black Dragon Swamp. It was like an undercurrent, and it was impossible to be discovered. The Great Emperor's relic was small to begin with, and it was the same size as an ordinary stone. Even scientific instruments could not detect it when it was activated, let alone the black snakes.
"We are already close to the center of the Black Snake King's lair. Look at this geomancy pattern. It seems to be the legendary geomancy pattern of dragons without a leader, a cave of great fortune. The reason why this kind of cave only appears in legends is that it cannot be formed in the earth, unless it is man-made. " Wang Rulai sensed the surrounding landscape and only "saw" that the whole landscape was like a stone forest immersed in the bottom of the water. The pillars were like dragons, flying and changing in all directions.
Apart from that, there were underwater mountains all around, forming a large formation that contained these dragons. It was like the shape of the universe, not a group of dragons.
The whole landscape of the spirit cave was like the situation of dragons without a leader in the Book of Changes.
This kind of geomancy pattern was even more powerful than flying in the sky. It represented freedom and independence for everyone, and the whole world was in the most perfect state. This was also a perfect cave.
At this moment, a hundred-meter-long giant snake coiled at the very center of the Spirit Cave. Below it was a pitch-black cave, and an enormous spiritual energy enveloped the surroundings, penetrating down to the smallest detail.
That snake was the Black Dragon King.
At the same time, a black-clothed man was sitting on the head of the Black Dragon King. He was in high spirits, and his aura was like that of an emperor. He had gathered the energy of ten thousand dragons and turned into a true dragon god that flew above the nine heavens. He was simply an invincible existence.
Jiang Li knew at a glance that this black-clothed man was the Black Dragon King's sacred child.
This sacred child was very powerful, not below Hong Heiyu.
However, it could not discover the Great Emperor's relic, and that was its advantage. Of course, Jiang Li did not dare to release too much of his mental energy to observe, or he would be discovered. In the depths of his mind, he was meditating on the Great Emperor's Watermark. His thoughts were perfectly fused with the waves of the water and seeped out. At this moment, the water was his mind, and his mind was the water.
Jiang Li immediately felt all kinds of mysteries and abnormalities.
There seemed to be a great existence hibernating in the cave under the Black Dragon King.
"We can't act rashly now. We have to wait for the Black Dragon King to go out or go astray. Let's go into the depths of the cave and investigate the mysteries. "Wang Rulai also felt something wonderful through Jiang Li's divine will.
"We have killed a lot of black snakes these days, at least a hundred of them, but the Black Dragon King still has not appeared. It is obvious that he has sunk into the deepest level of cultivation. If he cultivates for a few years, it will be troublesome." Jiang Li shook his head.
"That's impossible. According to the pattern of activity, the Black Dragon King should have woken up by now. He seems to summon a group of snakes every month and then hold a meeting to transmit his mental energy to the black snakes to cultivate. When he finds out that there are less than a hundred black snakes, he will definitely look around. This is a good opportunity for us."
