After breaking through the formation, Ye Xuan could easily see the inside of the cave.
The layout of the cave was not as elegant as the one outside. It was even a little shabby. It was surrounded by ordinary stone walls, which seemed to be inlaid with a similar divine material to the top of the cave, emitting a soft white light.
In the soft white light, Ye Xuan only saw a stone couch in the cave, and an old man sat cross-legged on the stone couch.
The old man had white hair and was dressed like an old Taoist. He was as thin as firewood, sitting on the stone couch with his head slightly lowered and his eyes slightly closed. He was motionless and seemed to be asleep.
"Did he really pass away?" Looking at the old man in the cave, Ye Xuan could not help but raise his eyebrows, then he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I accidentally entered this place and did not know you were here. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, Ye Xuan waited for a while, but the old Taoist still did not move.
Frowning, Ye Xuan pondered for a while, then suddenly stretched out his right hand. A rune shone brightly and turned into a sharp arrow, shooting toward the old Taoist.
Puff!
Suddenly, just as the sharp arrow was about to hit the old Taoist's body, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the old Taoist's body, and a wave of energy that was filled with divinity gushed out like a ripple of water. Everywhere it passed, the void trembled, and even the sharp arrow that Ye Xuan transformed from runes was destroyed, transforming into a rain of light and vanishing.
"A God-level expert?!" Seeing the energy wave from the old Taoist, which was full of divine aura, was the same as the one he had captured in the battle of the gods, Ye Xuan was sure that the old Taoist in front of him was a God-level expert.
The divine energy wave immediately retracted after it was released, and it did not even spread out of the cave before dissipating in the void.
"Hmm?" Seeing such a performance, Ye Xuan let out a soft cry of surprise in his heart, and a wisp of light flashed in his eyes. Then, a dazzling divine glow erupted from the palm of his left hand again. The divine glow transformed into a small vermilion sparrow with divine flames surrounding its body. It glowed brilliantly and gushed towards the old Taoist.
Poof!
Just like before, when the little vermilion sparrow drew near, a terrifying aura erupted from the old man's body once again. The Fire Spirit Sparrow that Ye Xuan had conjured using the bone talisman didn't even have time to let out a mournful cry before it was annihilated by this energy.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. He flipped his right hand and a spiritual fruit appeared in his hand. Then, he tossed it towards the old man.
~ ~ ~ ~
This time, the old Daoist no longer emitted that wisp of aura. The spirit fruit bore fruit and hit the old Daoist on the head. It even bounced a little and landed on the bed next to him.
"Alas, it seems like he really passed away!" Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he saw this scene.
He now finally understood why the old Daoist priest would automatically counterattack when he used the Rune Precious Technique, but there was no reaction when he threw the Spirit Fruit at him.
It was because gods couldn't be humiliated. Even if they had passed away, the remaining divine power in their bodies was enough to keep their bodies immortal after death and not be destroyed by external forces.
Looking at the old Daoist priest in front of him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. Even if he had become a god and shaken the world when he was alive, he would pass away here alone after death.
Would such a day come for him?
Sighing, he couldn't help but be shaken. Ye Xuan's state of mind was actually showing signs of instability.
No!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan raised his head. His eyes shone brightly and revealed incomparable determination. What he had was not something that the old Daoist priest could compare to. His achievements would also far surpass the old Daoist priest's. He would never pass away here alone like the old Daoist priest.
Whether it was a god or an immortal, he only wanted to transcend.
In an instant, a proud and arrogant aura erupted from his body and swept across the entire cave, causing it to seem as if a gust of wind had swept through the cave.
Phew!
Letting out a long breath of turbid air, the aura on his body gradually converged. He closed his eyes slightly and calmed his emotions. When he opened his eyes again, Ye Xuan's state of mind had already calmed down. However, if one looked at his eyes, they would see that they were like sharp swords. There was a sense of arrogance that flashed through them.
Looking at the old Daoist priest in the cave again, Ye Xuan stepped into the cave.
Since he had confirmed that the old Daoist priest had passed away, he didn't have much to worry about. He walked into the cave and carefully looked at the old Daoist priest.
His hair was all white and he was as thin as a stick. Even though he had passed away a long time ago, his body still retained the appearance of when he was alive. His body emitted an aura that truly transcended all living beings and was ethereal like a true immortal.
This old Daoist priest's cultivation when he was alive was definitely not low. However, why would he pass away here?
Observing the aura left on the old Daoist priest, Ye Xuan was sure that the old Daoist priest's cultivation before he passed away was not low. It was even possible that his cultivation was higher than before he was sealed.
However, for such a person to pass away in a sitting posture here was really incomprehensible.
With a suspicious expression, Ye Xuan began to carefully observe. However, he didn't see any wounds on the old Daoist priest's body.
"Huh?!!!" At this time, Ye Xuan suddenly let out a sound of surprise. His gaze shifted to the old Daoist priest's hand. He saw that the old Daoist priest's bony hand was actually tightly holding onto a piece of precious bone.
His gaze flickered for a moment. Then, Ye Xuan extended his hand and grabbed the piece of precious bone. He took it out of the old Daoist priest's hand.
This piece of precious bone was only the size of a finger. It was tightly held in the old Daoist priest's hand. Only a little light could be seen between his fingers. It was no wonder that Ye Xuan didn't notice it immediately.
Although the precious bone was only the size of a finger, it was densely engraved with bone talismans. Anyone who looked at it couldn't help but feel dazzled.
"There really is something strange!" Seeing that the bone talismans on the precious bone made him feel like he was hallucinating, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. Then, he spread out his divine sense and carefully probed it.
Weng!!!
Just as Ye Xuan's divine sense sank into the precious bone, the precious bone suddenly emitted a bright seven-colored light. It illuminated the entire cave. Then, a bone talisman scripture that seemed to be constructed from gold appeared in the air and appeared in front of his eyes.
"Nine Phoenix Nirvana Scripture!!!" On top of the scripture, there were five immortal-like words imprinted in the air. They broke through the sky and suppressed the void.
