The demonic beasts in the Rockfall Desert didn't have high cultivation, so the cultivators who targeted them naturally didn't have high cultivation.
Xiao Lingyu had stayed in the periphery of the Rockfall Desert for a long time. He often went to the small towns where the cultivators gathered. He had already discovered that most of the cultivators here were at the Gold Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, or Out-of-Body stage.
Out-of-Body stage cultivators were already considered masters in the periphery of the Rockfall Desert. It was rare to see cultivators above the Out-of-Body stage here. Even if there were occasional Severed Soul stage or Unification stage cultivators, they didn't come to hunt those demonic beasts.
Xiao Lingyu had the protection of the big snake at the Severed Soul stage, so he shouldn't be in too much danger. Even if he was besieged, he should be able to escape unscathed.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyu didn't have to look for any companions. Instead, he aimed at the place where the treasure was hidden and let the big snake carry him at full speed.
Two days later, Xiao Lingyu finally arrived at the place. In the process of rushing, he inevitably encountered the falling stones more than once. However, those stones falling from the sky couldn't get close to the big snake's body at all.
While Xiao Lingyu had the great snake to protect him, the other cultivators were not as lucky. Along the way, Xiao Lingyu had seen the corpses of a good number of cultivators smashed by rocks. He had even personally witnessed a team of no less than 20 cultivators getting wiped out by a rain of rocks.
At this time, in front of Xiao Lingyu, there was a small oasis, and the treasure was hidden here.
In the oasis, there was a small lake. Under the lake, there was a hidden mystery.
This treasure place should have existed for countless years, but it was only discovered recently. The main reason was that the Feiyu Continent was discovered too late by the cultivators of the Cultivation World. Moreover, this desert was a place that the strong cultivators of the Feiyu Continent didn't like. Even if ordinary cultivators passed by here, it was difficult for them to find anything unusual here. At most, they would stay for a while and then leave.
Moreover, the oasis in the Rockfall Desert was not a safe place. On the contrary, the oasis was actually the most dangerous place in the Rockfall Desert because there would be sand demons with higher cultivation bases staying there for a long time.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about this oasis. Under normal circumstances, even if cultivators saw this place, they would directly ignore it.
A few days ago, a group of cultivators came here. They inadvertently went to the bottom of the lake and found a very solid stone door without spiritual power fluctuations.
The stone door was divided into two and was tightly closed. The group of cultivators used all their strength, but they couldn't open it.
They had also tried to reach the stone door from other directions without going through it, but they had failed. Even though they had explored the ground around the stone door, they had not found anything.
Finally, they found that if they wanted to reach the stone door, they would have to open the stone door first.
The strongest of them was only at Leaving Aperture realm primary stage, so they were unable to open the stone door. Thus, they had sent someone back to invite the experts over.
Unfortunately, the person they sent back encountered the enemy and was captured. In order to save his own life, that person said that he found a place with hidden treasures. He also said that if they let him live, he would bring the enemy to the place where the treasures were hidden.
After the first accident, several more accidents happened one after another. This matter spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the periphery of the Rockfall Desert. Almost all the cultivators in those small towns knew about this matter.
Therefore, when Xiao Lingyu came here, even though many cultivators died on the way, there were still countless cultivators gathered around this small oasis.
Looking around, there were cultivators everywhere. They were either alone or in groups of three to five. Their eyes were all fixed on the small lake at the center of the oasis.
The small lake was not large and was circular in shape with a diameter of less than 1000 feet.
However, there was no empty space around the small lake. It was surrounded by several groups of cultivators. These groups of cultivators belonged to several different forces. They were very powerful, and there were even Severed Soul Stage experts among them. The other cultivators naturally didn't dare to break in.
At that moment, those forces were probably discussing something. Xiao Lingyu came a little later and found out from the other cultivators that the stone door at the bottom of the lake had yet to be opened. However, it wouldn't be long before the stone door opened.
Xiao Lingyu vaguely remembered that Jiang Lanyue once said that if they wanted to break open the stone door, they would have to use the full strength of a Body Integration Stage expert or a top-grade offensive spiritual weapon.
A top-grade offensive spiritual weapon was considered a very powerful magic weapon in the cultivation world. Generally speaking, top-grade spiritual weapons were in the hands of cultivators at the early stage of the Body Integration Stage or higher. Even if other cultivators had them, it would be difficult for them to use their full strength.
For a Severed Soul Stage cultivator, having two or three top-grade spiritual weapons was already considered very rich.
Although Xiao Lingyu had a way to open the stone door, he still needed to be able to bypass the inspection of those experts and reach the bottom of the lake. If he wanted to quietly go over and open the stone door, it was impossible to do so.
He found a place and released the large snake, who had turned into a small snake, to eavesdrop on the conversation of the cultivators around the small lake. With the large snake's late stage Severed Soul Stage cultivation, even if those cultivators were using voice transmissions, it would still be able to intercept some information.
Not long after, Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes. The large snake had eavesdropped on a useful piece of information. It was that a Body Integration Stage cultivator was coming.
The news was correct. Another day passed, and a cultivator wrapped in a black robe stepped through the air and slowly arrived.
"I've made everyone wait for a long time. This old man is a bit late."
As the black robe slowly descended from the sky, he clasped his fist and spoke to the cultivators by the small lake.
Everyone couldn't see the face of the black robe clearly, nor could they see through his cultivation. Even if a bold cultivator scanned with his spirit sense, he couldn't sense the other party's aura. The difference in cultivation level was too big.
"Senior Wu must be joking. It's our honor to be able to invite senior here."
"We should have gone to invite senior personally, but we need someone to take care of these things. Please don't blame us."
"It's also our fault for disturbing senior's cultivation."
The few Spirit Severing Stage cultivators who seemed to be the leaders hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed to greet him with great respect.
"Hehe, the Feiyu Continent has just been discovered by the cultivation world, so there are naturally many unknown places. This old man has been to a few places before, but I didn't find anything good. I hope this old man will be satisfied this time."
The Body Integration Stage black-robed cultivator smiled as he slowly walked towards the small lake.
When Xiao Lingyu learned that a Severed Soul Stage master was coming, he had already put the snake into the spirit beast bag. Even though the snake was magical, it was difficult to hide under the scan of a Severed Soul Stage master's spirit sense.
The small lake was still surrounded by the cultivators of those forces. Most of those cultivators were Out of Body Stage masters, so some of the Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage cultivators who were watching from afar didn't dare to take a step forward.
Boom!!!
Not long after the Severed Soul Stage master and the Severed Soul Stage master fell to the bottom of the lake, suddenly, there was a loud explosion.
Xiao Lingyu only felt the world tremble. The small lake had disappeared and was replaced by a large pit.
The power of a Severed Soul Stage master was really strong!
The frightened cultivators all flew up one after another, while the cultivators who were watching from afar came closer.
Everyone knew that the door to the treasure place was about to open.
Xiao Lingyu glanced around and found that there were no less than a thousand people around. This made him frown even more.
He wasn't in a hurry because he knew that not everyone who passed through the stone door would be able to obtain the treasure. However, if more cultivators went in, it would naturally be more difficult for him to obtain the treasure.
In the following two hours, there were continuous explosions from the bottom of the pit, and the area of the pit was constantly expanding.
Boom! Boom! Boom …
After a series of rapid explosions that sounded like a series of cannons, the crater finally quieted down. A burst of silver light soared into the sky and went straight into the depths of the clouds.
When the silver light disappeared, everyone slowly approached the big pit, only to find that there were no cultivators in the pit. The stone door had been blasted open, so the powerhouses must have gone in.
However, there were no less than a hundred cultivators around the big pit. They had their backs to the big pit, preventing other cultivators from entering.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't in the mood to wait. He directly released the serpent and rushed into the big pit.
The defensive circle formed by the Out of Body Stage cultivators was useless against the serpent. The serpent spat out a few ice arrows, which tore through the defensive circle.
Xiao Lingyu easily entered the bottom of the big pit and passed through the stone door.
The serpent's attack greatly impacted the defensive circle formed by the Out-of-Body Stage cultivators. The other cultivators who were already itching to make a move also took this opportunity to charge forward. No matter how the Out-of-Body Stage cultivators tried to defend themselves, they were unable to completely repel the combined assault of over a thousand cultivators. More and more cultivators reached the bottom of the crater and passed through the stone door …
After passing through the stone door, there was a hall. In the center of the hall, there was a miniature teleportation array formed by six stone pillars.
Xiao Lingyu had never seen a teleportation array before, but he had heard about it from Jiang Lanyue and read about it in books. Therefore, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He directly entered the teleportation array and pressed his palm on the compass of the teleportation array.
He channeled a little of his power into the compass, and the teleportation array rumbled. A moment later, a dazzling white light flashed, and Xiao Lingyu's body disappeared from the teleportation array.
At this time, other cultivators rushed in.
The teleportation process was dizzying. Xiao Lingyu could only see countless streaks of light flying in front of his eyes. He couldn't stabilize his body at all.
However, the teleportation ended after three seconds. Xiao Lingyu fell into a dark underground tunnel.
This tunnel was very dark, and the surroundings were abnormally cold. Even though he circulated his power throughout his body, he was still shivering from the cold.
"Oh no, I'm actually teleported to this tunnel. How unlucky!"
Xiao Lingyu adapted a little and recovered from the dizziness caused by the teleportation. When he saw the surroundings clearly, his heart thumped.
Jiang Lanyue told him that the teleportation array was random. After everyone entered, they would be teleported to random places.
