It was a dilapidated swamp.
A faint greenish-black mist filled the air.
Qin Shujian stepped on the surface of the swamp and poured True Essence into his legs so that he would not sink into the swamp.
This was only one of the uses of True Essence.
As an expert of the Real Martial Arts Realm.
No matter what level it was, it was far beyond the Basic Martial Arts Realm.
"This is the location of the unknown cave abode!"
Looking at the swamp around him, Qin Shujian's facial expression did not change.
The greenish-black mist was formed by the mixture of marsh gas and other toxins.
If an ordinary person entered this place without any means of avoiding the poison, it would only take a short while for the poison to take effect.
Even if it was someone of the Basic Martial Arts Realm.
As long as they did not reach the peak of their Qi and blood, they would not be able to resist the poison gas here.
Even if it was someone of the sixth stage of the Basic Martial Arts Realm, it would be difficult to maintain the poison if they stayed here for too long.
However.
All these restrictions were only for the Basic Martial Arts Realm.
After all, this was a swamp born in the Ordinary Realm.
No matter how strong they were.
Most of them revolved around the Basic Martial Arts Realm.
Those that could threaten the Real Martial Arts Realm were very rare.
Qin Shujian was not sure if there were any forbidden areas in the Liang Mountain True Dominion that could threaten the Real Martial Arts Realm. However, he was sure of one thing.
Even if there were.
It would definitely not include the swamp in front of him.
Qin Shujian walked in the swamp according to the coordinates given by the bronze token.
The greenish-black mist blocked most of the sunlight.
The sunlight that shone in could only disperse a little of the darkness.
Therefore.
This swamp was in a dark environment all year round.
Logically speaking.
Such an environment was most likely to breed all kinds of poisonous insects.
However, while walking in the swamp, Qin Shujian did not find a single poisonous insect or even a living creature.
When he felt the faint Devil Qi in the greenish-black mist.
Qin Shujian suddenly understood.
At the same time.
He had a deeper understanding of the Devil Qi's ability to destroy everything.
About ten minutes later.
Qin Shujian stopped in his tracks and looked at the dried up swamp in front of him. He took out the bronze token.
The bronze token, which had been normal all this time, suddenly emitted a greenish-black light that shone directly on the dried up swamp.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently.
In front of Qin Shujian's shocked eyes, the dry swamp cracked open, and a stone tablet as tall as two people rose directly from the bottom.
On the stone tablet.
Four large words were engraved on it.
Brilliant Star Immortal Cave!
"You found the Cauldron Abode!"
Information from the system appeared.
Qin Shujian narrowed his eyes and looked at the four words on the stone tablet. A majestic aura instantly hit him in the face, "Huading Cavern!"
Just from these four words.
He could tell that the person who left behind the stone tablet was definitely extraordinary.
At least.
Qin Shujian didn't think he could do that.
"I thought it was just a small cave, but I didn't expect it to involve such an expert. It seems that there might be something good inside!"
Subsequently.
He looked at the bottom right corner of the stone tablet.
There was a dent there.
If he wanted to compare, it just happened to match with the bronze token.
After looking at the token in his hand, Qin Shujian walked up to the stone tablet and inserted the token into the gap.
Hum!!
An invisible wave spread out from the stone tablet.
Qin Shujian instinctively took two steps back and activated his Quintessential Essence. He stared at the stone tablet, guarding against any accidents.
The words "Huading Cavern" on the stone tablet were violently distorted.
Immediately.
A crazy pulling force erupted. The Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth above the Immortal Plains seemed to be pulled by something. It instantly broke through the barrier of the greenish-black fog and gathered in the stone tablet.
As the greenish-black fog broke apart.
A large amount of sunlight shone through the gap, dispelling most of the dark atmosphere in the swamp.
"The movement is quite big." Qin Shujian's expression was calm.
The extent of the pulling force of the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth by the stone tablet was enough to affect the entire Immortal Plains.
Such a movement was not small at all.
At least.
Anyone with some strength in the Liang Mountain True Dominion should be able to detect this change.
However.
Even if the movement of the stone tablet was big, Qin Shujian didn't care.
In the Liang Mountain True Dominion.
No one was qualified to snatch something in front of him.
This was his confidence as the Liang Mountain Protectorate Lord.
Therefore.
When the stone tablet was pulling the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth crazily, Qin Shujian stood aside and watched silently. He allowed it to absorb.
As the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth kept surging.
A dense light gradually appeared on the stone tablet, like a whirlpool.
This change.
It lasted for half an hour.
Qin Shujian looked a little impatient.
The stone tablet had been absorbing for a long time, but it showed no signs of stopping. The scene in front of him also told him that the cave abode had not really opened.
One had to know.
Following the upgrade of the True Dominion, the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth had become several times richer than before.
Under such circumstances, the stone tablet still needed to absorb the Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth for such a long time.
If it had been in the Ordinary Realm …
Qin Shujian estimated that it would take more than half a day.
All of a sudden.
His ears twitched slightly. He lifted his head and looked into the distance. There, three figures were rushing in his direction.
Every single one of them exuded a powerful aura.
Given Qin Shujian's eyesight, he could tell that the three figures were two men and a woman.
Before the three of them could get close, Qin Shujian suddenly struck out with his palm.
His Quintessential Essence instantly transformed into a huge palm print and crushed toward the three of them.
The terrifying power caused the three of them to stop abruptly. They looked at the incoming palm print in shock.
At the same time …
An angry shout was heard.
"Scram!"
This simple word caused the blood in their bodies to disperse.
Immediately after …
The palm print approached them.
The three of them could not resist it. They were directly pushed back by the palm print.
He was sent flying for hundreds of feet before falling into the swamp.
As soon as they landed, the three of them realized that they had not suffered any serious injuries. They immediately turned around and flew out of the swamp.
They were not stupid.
That palm strike just now was obviously the person who had struck out with mercy.
Or else …
Given his terrifying strength, he could definitely kill the three of them with one move.
With such an expert around, the three of them did not dare think about the anomaly in the swamp.
Only after they had escaped far away …
The two men and the woman finally stopped.
Huff and puff!
One of the middle-aged men was panting heavily. He looked at the swamp forest behind him with lingering fear and said in shock, "The person who attacked us was a True Martial Realm expert!"
"Quintessential Essence left his body. He must be a True Martial Realm expert!" The other man nodded and said in shock, "It has only been a while since we advanced to the True Dominion. How could there be a True Martial Realm expert so quickly? Could he be an expert from another region?"
"Maybe he is from another region, or maybe he is from the True Dominion of Mount Liang."
"Could he be …"
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly stopped talking.
It would be fine if he was an expert from another region.
However, if he was from the True Dominion …
Given the fact that the True Dominion had just been upgraded, the identity of a True Martial Realm expert was obvious.
The woman sighed and said, "I did not expect that the anomaly would be caused by the Protectorate Lord of Mount Liang. With an expert like him around, there is nothing for us to do. If he had not shown mercy, we would have died there."
"Let's go, let's go."
The other two also understood in their hearts.
On the other side …
Qin Shujian retracted his palm and watched the three fleeing figures. He did not attack again.
The three people who had been attracted by the anomaly …
He had no intention of silencing them.
As long as they knew what was good for them, he would give them a warning and let them leave. However, if they did not know what was good for them, Qin Shujian would show them the strength of the Protectorate Lord of Mount Liang's strength.
The stone tablet was still absorbing the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.
During this period, several more groups of people rushed over from all directions.
There was no exception.
These people could not even get close to the stone tablet before they were sent flying by Qin Shujian's palm.
Quintessential Essence left the body!
This was the sign of a True Martial Realm expert.
For ordinary people in the Basic Martial Realm, they might not know what the True Martial Realm was like.
However, almost all the people who had been attracted to the stone tablet were top-notch Basic Realm experts.
Every single one of them.
They were at least at the eighth stage of the Basic Realm.
Such experts were qualified to know about the True Dominion and most of them knew about the existence of the True Martial Realm.
Therefore, when they saw the Quintessential Essence leave the body, the knowledgeable people left without looking back.
A True Martial Realm expert in a place like the Immortal Plain, which was close to Mount Liang.
They only needed to think a little to know.
There was a high probability that the person who had attacked them was that person.
Even if it was someone they did not know …
When they realized the difference in strength between the two sides, they would retreat silently.
No matter what …
Up until now, everyone who had come was still tactful. They did not let Qin Shujian kill them.
Another hour passed.
Finally, the suction force of the stone tablet weakened.
The surging Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth seemed to have lost its target.
Without the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, the opening above the swamp only existed for a short while before it was covered by the dark green fog again.
The entire swamp sank into darkness.
Then …
The darkness only lasted for a short while before it was swept away by a warm light.
The stone tablet, which had absorbed a large amount of Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, was emitting a dark green light, as if it was made of jade.
In the middle of the stone tablet …
A dense whirlpool was rotating slowly.
A faint aura was emitted from behind the whirlpool, indicating that the cave abode had officially opened.
Qin Shujian glanced at the stone tablet twice before he finally arrived in front of the whirlpool.
When he sensed the aura behind the whirlpool, he stepped into it without hesitation.
A mysterious fluctuation spread.
The moment Qin Shujian's body touched the whirlpool …
It was as if he had been swallowed by the stone tablet. Not a trace of his body could be seen.
As Qin Shujian entered …
The dark green light emitted by the stone tablet suddenly weakened.
In an instant …
The swamp regained its tranquility.
