"What? You're saying that the thing is still in the middle of the mountain? "Su Yun asked.
"Yes, we have to find it ourselves," Yixie said.
Su Yun touched his forehead. Didn't this mean that he had to dig for treasure in this huge mountain?
The amount of work required was enormous!
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Su Yun asked helplessly.
"It's not as bad as you think. If I'm not wrong, this treasure mine has already nurtured the spirits of the five elements! "Yixie said.
"Spirits of the five elements? What's that? "Su Yun had never heard of such a thing.
"A spirit body like mine is a postnatal spirit that was nurtured by this divine sword. It's also because of me that the Heaven Seizing Sword can be called a divine sword. The spirits of the five elements are innate spirit bodies! "Yixie said slowly.
"What's so special about innate spirit bodies?" Su Yun asked.
"The appearance of an innate spirit body requires many harsh conditions, but once it appears, it must have reached the pinnacle of one of the five elements. And they have an irresistible attraction to spirit cultivators, "Yixie explained.
"What do you mean?" Su Yun felt that he had found a treasure.
"If a cultivator fuses with the Fire Spirit of the Five Elements, then his talent for fire will become extremely terrifying. For example, the Fire Spirit of the Primordial Age, Zhurong. His lineage continued because of the existence of the Fire Spirit of the Five Elements! But unfortunately, after that battle, Fire God Zhurong's lineage seemed to have ceased to exist, "Yixie said with a sigh.
"The legendary Fire God Zhurong …" Su Yun murmured, a little absent-minded. How could the ancient masters of this world be so similar to the legends on Earth?!
"Of course, this is only my guess. Whether it exists or not, we can only conclude after seeing the treasure mine," Yixie's words were like a bucket of cold water that splashed Su Yun's heart.
He was giving him a taste of his own medicine first, then making him work hard! Su Yun smelled a faint conspiracy.
Sensing Su Yun's suspicion, Yixie felt a little awkward.
"I have my reasons for saying that. At that time, I was far away, but I could faintly sense the location of the mine. Now that I'm closer, I can't sense it at all. Isn't that strange? "
"What you're saying is that since you're close to it, it might have sensed you and hidden itself with the mine." It was only then that Su Yun realized why Yixie wasn't as excited as he thought he would be after they entered the Twin Dragon Mount. Instead, he was even quieter.
"If it really exists, it should only be dodging instinctively," Yixie said.
"Instinct?"
"In other words, it probably doesn't have its own consciousness. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sense it from the beginning." Yixie said, "An innate spirit body with its own consciousness is extremely terrifying!"
Yixie's voice was a little heavy, as if he was thinking of his terrible past.
"Could it be that they can cultivate by themselves?!" Su Yun thought of a possibility. If that was the case, the Five Elements Spirit Bodies would be very terrifying after they grew up.
"They would devour their own kind and other acquired spirit bodies to strengthen themselves step by step. In the end, they would be invincible in a certain field!" Yixie said, "The ancient water spirit, Gonggong, was a successful example. However, it was defeated by Zhurong, who had fused with the fire spirit of the Five Elements.
"At that time, Gonggong was also an expert at the top of the pyramid. If it weren't for the fact that water and fire restrained each other, almost no one could really kill him.
"These are all ancient secrets. When you're strong enough, you'll naturally come into contact with them. Moreover, you have to come into contact with them even if you don't want to. For now, you'd better cultivate well. "Yixie's voice wasn't as solemn as before.
"Yes, let's find the mine first!" Su Yun said expectantly.
However, it seemed that he had to rely on himself.
Su Yun returned to the hall again and looked up at the huge stone hall in the middle of the mountain.
"Could it be that this was really built by the people of Quicksand?" Su Yun began to have some doubts. After all, to dig out such a stone hall in the middle of the mountain with just a group of Spiritual Masters was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
What kind of people were in Quicksand? Why would they spend so much time doing such a meaningless thing?
However, they did it. It didn't make any sense at all!
Su Yun touched his nose and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"If it's a natural karst cave, there's a very high chance that it's a treasure mine! Then, this place should have been a natural karst cave. It was only discovered by the people of Quicksand who took root in the mountain. Then, they made some slight changes and turned it into their escape route. At the same time, it's also a treasure mine! "
"However, if that's really the case, then where did the mine go?" Su Yun couldn't figure it out.
"According to Yixie's senses, the mine is still in the middle of the mountain. Does that mean that it hasn't been discovered by the people of Quicksand?"
"Let's take a look at the other three passageways first. Maybe we can find something."
The two above were similar to the passageway they came in. However, the passageway that was blocked by the treasure chest was a little suspicious. Therefore, Su Yun directly moved the treasure chest and wanted to walk inside.
"It seems that it's not finished yet?" There were fewer moonstones on both sides of the passageway and the walls were rough. It was obvious that the renovation was not completed.
Walking inside, Su Yun felt that it was a completely natural passageway. No one had been here before.
The passageway became narrower and more humid. Without the moonstones, it also became darker.
Su Yun felt a little guilty. With a trace of vigilance towards the unknown, he slowly groped forward.
"I can't go through!" Finally, the passageway was too small for Su Yun to pass through.
Su Yun spread out his spiritual awareness and extended it inside like tentacles.
As expected, the innermost part of the passageway slowly shrank until it was completely sealed.
"Is this the end?" Su Yun's exploration was fruitless and he withdrew his spiritual awareness in disappointment. Leaving one's spiritual awareness was very taxing on the spirit of a spirit cultivator. Therefore, unless it was necessary, one would not use their spiritual awareness easily.
Su Yun was about to turn around and return to the stone hall when he suddenly felt cold air blowing on his neck.
Su Yun shivered and quickly turned around.
"No! This wind is not right! "Su Yun was shocked by himself.
He immediately released his spiritual awareness again. Ignoring the exhaustion of his spirit, he carried out a carpet search. However, very quickly, he returned without any results.
"Am I overthinking?" Su Yun felt that the cold wind blowing from the secret cave was a little strange. However, when he explored with his spiritual awareness, he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
"It's not that you're overthinking. The treasure mine is just in front!" Yixie's voice suddenly sounded in Su Yun's mind, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
"Next time, can't you tell me before you speak! What if I have a heart attack! "In a fit of anger, Su Yun actually said something from his previous life.
"Damn it? Heart attack? What's that? "Yixie was puzzled.
"Uh … nothing, nothing. Let's talk about serious matters. "Su Yun touched his nose and said awkwardly.
Yixie did not ask any more questions.
"Yes, I'm saying that your spiritual awareness has deceived you." Yixie said.
"What? You mean, in front … "Su Yun was shocked.
"That's right. In front is where the treasure mine is!" Yixie seemed to be excited.
"But I clearly feel that it's a dead end in front?" Su Yun was puzzled.
"That's because your spiritual awareness has been blocked. To be precise, it has been confused!" Yixie said. "This is why I have not been able to sense it."
"It has used the shielding characteristics of the natural cave to avoid my detection."
"Since it's so smart, is it possible that it has given birth to its own consciousness?" Su Yun asked.
"It shouldn't be. This is not its subjective will, but caused by the terrain. If I'm not wrong, there should be a bigger cave at the end of the road. It's almost sealed."
"If that's the case, how did you sense it just now?" Su Yun asked.
"Wind! There must be a gap in front. It's just that your spiritual awareness has been blocked by the cave, causing you to have an illusion. "Yixie said.
"If that's the case, we have to break through the mountain!" Su Yun took the Heaven Seizing Sword from behind him and circulated his spiritual power.
With Yixie's cooperation, the Heaven Seizing Sword was extremely sharp. As the cold light bloomed, it forcibly cut a path in front of them.
Just when Su Yun's spiritual power was more than half consumed, a ray of light shot straight from the front.
Su Yun had adapted to the dark environment. Suddenly, a ray of light shone, so bright that Su Yun closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, the scene in front of him once again blinded his eyes!
