"This …"
The moment they stepped into the palace, Chen Hao and Chen Xue were shocked. From the outside, the core palace was already ridiculously large, with a diameter of three thousand feet and a height of five thousand feet. However, after entering, there was actually a completely different world. It was as if they had entered another world.
The two appeared on the top of a towering mountain. The top of the mountain was circular, with a diameter of nine thousand feet. Just this alone was three times larger than the palace outside. They couldn't see the top of the mountain. There were only clouds as black as ink floating gently in the sky. They couldn't see the end of the mountain and didn't know how big it was. At least with their powerful senses, they couldn't detect the end of the mountain. The surface of the mountain was flat and smooth, as if it had been cut in half by a powerful expert. At the core, there was a strange building that was circular like a yurt. It was only fifteen feet in diameter, and its surface was covered with fine runes.
Chen Hao and Chen Xue appeared at the edge of the mountain.
Dark clouds rolled downwards, and the depth was unknown. Even though the two of them had strong minds, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when they looked downwards. Their minds had only extended downwards for a thousand feet, and they felt an irresistible and terrifying pressure.
At this moment, the runes on the odd-shaped building at the core suddenly began to move slowly. A faint milky white light floated out and shone on the two.
In just an instant, the two of them felt that this milky white light was a kind of extremely pure and gentle energy, and it naturally merged into their bodies. Immediately, they clearly felt that their essence, energy, and spirit were recovering at an astonishing speed ….
"The true essence of the light attribute?"
Chen Hao and Chen Xue were shocked at the same time. At their level, they could more or less control the energy of the five elements, but it was impossible to control the true essence of all attributes. This faint milky white light was definitely not just the pure light attribute energy, but the ultimate of light, the true essence, and the law of light. And it was definitely not the elementary category of the true essence. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to have such a magical function.
"The fourth level cave is so powerful … Chen Hao, let me down …" Chen Xue, who originally didn't have any strength, regained the strength to move in just a breath. Even though there was still no energy in his dantian and his body was still heavily injured, the recovery of his essence, energy, and spirit allowed him to have the most basic physical strength. Moreover, the injuries in his body were also quickly recovering.
"Mm, let's go in and take a look!"
Hearing Chen Xue's words, Chen Hao hurriedly put down the soft and graceful body in his arms. He held Chen Xue's little hand and walked towards the oddly shaped building.
As the two of them gradually approached, the milky white light became thicker and thicker. Their recovery speed also became faster and faster. Chen Hao, in particular, already had an abnormal recovery ability. After just a few thousand feet, the extremely serious injuries on his body were completely healed. What he lacked was True Essence.
When the two of them seemed to be strolling hand in hand and traversed 4500 feet to arrive before the oddly-shaped building, even the heavy injuries on Chen Xue's body had completely recovered.
Buzz …
When the two of them had a tacit understanding and stretched out their hands to touch the odd-shaped building at the same time, an unexpected change occurred. The talisman markings on the building instantly emitted an even more resplendent light. It shook violently for a moment before Chen Hao and Chen Xue disappeared on the spot and entered the building.
…
This was a world of light.
The milky white light was so thick that it seemed to have condensed into a liquid state. It floated around the two of them, and the mystery of the true essence of the light attribute filled it. What was emitting this milky white light was a white round crystal with a diameter of one meter in front of them.
"What is this thing?"
Chen Xue opened her little mouth in surprise and asked in astonishment.
"It doesn't matter what it is. The most important thing is to quickly start cultivating. This thing contains pure light attribute energy and has already begun to activate. I don't know how long it will last … I just happen to need to go into seclusion! "
"Oh …"
The two of them exchanged a glance. Chen Hao's figure flashed and he appeared on the other side of the sphere. He sat down cross-legged and immersed himself in cultivation.
Chen Xue took a deep breath. She did not dare to waste precious time and was instantly immersed in the mysterious light.
There was no doubt that this was an excellent environment to comprehend the true essence of the light attribute. Whether or not one could comprehend it depended on oneself.
…
Seven days later.
The milky white light began to weaken slowly. In less than four hours, the white crystal sphere cracked and turned into fine powder.
Chen Hao and Chen Xue did not come out of their cultivation state. Their bodies were shining with a faint milky white light, and a holy and transcendent aura enveloped them. The exposed skin of the two of them seemed to have turned into glowing crystals. They were sparkling and translucent, and one could clearly see the flowing light within.
After three days, the light around Chen Xue dissipated. She let out a long sigh and opened her eyes.
"Phew … I've successfully comprehended the true essence of the light attribute. Unfortunately, compared to the aura of the crystal sphere, my comprehension is still superficial … It seems that any kind of law of heaven and earth is not so simple …"
Chen Xue felt the surging power in her body and thought to herself. She looked at Chen Hao.
"Ah?"
The moment she saw Chen Hao, Chen Xue's eyes widened in surprise. Although she did not dare to use her mind to investigate for fear of affecting Chen Hao, at this moment, the rich light attribute energy contained in Chen Hao's body shocked Chen Xue. One must know that the crystal sphere had been broken for three days. The light attribute energy that had fused into his body should have been almost completely depleted. But the light attribute energy in Chen Hao's body was several times more powerful than Chen Xue's at her peak.
"How can it be so much more powerful than mine? It shouldn't be … I'm already at the late Gold Core stage. Although my body is not as strong as his, the gap should not be so big … Could it be that … he has comprehended more than me? "
Chen Xue stared at Chen Hao in surprise and thought to herself.
"I'm always defeated by him … Next time, I'll definitely be stronger than him!" Chen Xue looked at Chen Hao's handsome face and said while biting her lips. Because her mother had been sealed in her womb for hundreds of years, her innate soul power was ten times or even a hundred times more powerful than ordinary people. It was also because of this that her comprehension and talent were not comparable to people of the same age. In the past, she did not know all of this. She only knew that it was easy for her to cultivate any cultivation technique, including the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth. She had too many advantages over ordinary people. No one of the same age could compare to her.
But this time, she entered the cave at the same time as Chen Hao. Not only was her combat power not as good as Chen Hao's, but she also lost in comprehension …
The corner of Chen Xue's mouth twitched slightly. She stared at Chen Hao and immediately revealed a smile. Although she was a little shocked, she was actually a little happy in her heart.
When the crystal sphere broke, the odd-shaped building also disappeared at the same time. Standing up quietly, Chen Xue walked to the top of the mountain far away.
"This is the exit …" Chen Xue came in front of a whirlpool that seemed to be the entrance of every floor of the Ancient Black Wind Cave and said softly, "Let's wait for him together. It shouldn't take long …"
Chen Xue looked at the slightly tattered blue dress on her body and frowned slightly. Immediately, she took out her sword and merged with everything in the world. Quietly, she dug a cave on the flat top of the mountain and went in, quickly taking off her clothes.
Her lithe and exquisite body was fully exposed.
Although there wasn't any dirt on her body, Chen Xue still took out a container of clean water from her storage ring and splashed it all over her body. Only when she felt clean in her heart did she use her energy to dry her hair and quickly put on a new set of clothes. She was still wearing her blue dress. Without a veil, any man who saw her would have their heart shaken. Especially since she had comprehended the true essence of the light attribute. At this moment, the aura around her body had undergone a subtle change. It carried a trace of holiness and was even more indescribable.
Wearing her veil, Chen Xue stepped out of the cave and sat cross-legged far away from Chen Hao, also entering a state of cultivation.
…
"Senior Brother Liu, you're finally here. You're the only one left!"
"Is the news true or false?"
"Of course it's true. Many groups of people have already gone. Even the super geniuses of the four great ninth-rank sects have gone. This time, the Black Wind Ancient Cave will be lively. However, no one has found the Redflame Beast yet. We still have a chance … "
"Alright, then let's go immediately! It's naturally best if we can get the Redflame Beast. If not, it's also good to see the super geniuses of the ninth-rank sects! "
"That's right, that's right. Senior Brother Liu, you're not inferior to the super geniuses of the ninth-rank sects. A year later, it'll be the Inter-Sect Competition that's held once every ten years. With Senior Brother Liu's combat strength, you'll definitely shine at that time! "
"Compared to the top ten geniuses of the ten great sects, I'm still a little inferior. However, I'm confident that I can fight a year later! On the other hand, you guys should work hard and strive to enter the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible. It's good to be able to see the world … I heard that there's a real genius in the Sword Riding Sect? " The disciple called Senior Brother Liu exuded a valiant aura. It was obvious that he was at the peak of the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage.
"Yes. That kid's called Chen Hao. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's said that he's only at the Advanced Golden Core Stage, but he killed the super genius of the Sword Riding Sect, Fan Fang … If it's true, this kid might be able to enter the Nascent Soul Stage before the Inter-Sect Competition … "
"I'm afraid the Sword Riding Sect won't let him go, right?" Senior Brother Liu smiled lightly.
"Senior Brother Liu, the Sword Riding Sect won't dare to act recklessly. Chen Hao and Fan Fang had a fair fight. Moreover, it's said that Chen Hao saved the direct descendant of the Sect Leader of the Ling Tian Sect, Xia Lanlan, and the super genius, Duan Yufei, from the hands of the Redflame Beast in the Ancient Black Wind Cave. Therefore, the Young Master of the Ling Tian Sect, Xia Nantian, spread the news that if the Sword Riding Sect dares to break the rules, the Ling Tian Sect will intervene. It's obvious that a super genius like Chen Hao has already attracted the favor of the Ling Tian Sect … "
…
Chen Hao, who was immersed in his cultivation, did not know that his deeds in the Ancient Black Wind Cave had spread throughout Black Iron City in a short two days. In less than half a month, the entire Eastern Continent was abuzz with the news.
Under Xia Nantian's warning, the Sword Riding Sect experts who were originally guarding the Ancient Black Wind Cave's Transportation Formation all entered the Ancient Black Wind Cave to vent their frustrations on the Redflame Beast.
Similarly, what Chen Hao did not know was that Xia Nantian had also brought his sister Xia Youyou, cousin Xia Lanlan, and Duan Yufei into the Ancient Black Wind Cave. (To be continued.
