Hayashikawa did not know if it was because of the cave, or if there was something wrong with the pool, but although he could see the strange cave with his Byakugan, he could not see it clearly. It was as if there was a layer of mist covering it, making it hazy.
However, he could roughly see the environment. Because the cave curved upwards, there was still air inside. The cave was not big, and there was a large hall and two secret rooms. One of them was obviously a study room, while the other seemed to be a cultivation room.
In the cultivation room, there was a figure sitting cross-legged. His body was withered, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Hayashikawa described the cave's situation to Bu Lianshi, who was beside him, and then asked, "Did you sense anything?"
Bu Lianshi shook his head. This kind of cave did not have any special spiritual energy fluctuations, so even with Bu Lianshi's Absolute Perception, it was difficult for him to sense anything. For such a tangible thing, his Byakugan was more useful than his Absolute Perception.
Seeing Bu Lianshi shake his head, Hayashikawa did not say anything and continued to lead him in the direction of the cave.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the horizontal cave entrance. This cave entrance was very small and very well hidden. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to find it.
After pondering for a while, Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi used their own abilities to check. After finding nothing unusual, they directly went in.
Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~
The two of them quickly came out of the water and found themselves in the large hall.
"This cave was created when the Immortal Abode of Light was still around, right? But why would someone build their own cave in such a place?" Bu Lianshi stood in the hall and looked around.
Because it was underwater, there was no dust here, and it looked very clean. It did not look like it had been empty for a long time. Moreover, there were several magic tools on the walls of the cave that emitted a faint fluorescent light. They could feel the light attribute spiritual energy surging within them.
Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi checked the hall and did not find anything. However, it was true. The entire hall was only about ten meters in radius, and they could see everything at a glance. There was nothing else except for some stone tables and chairs.
"Let's take a look at the study room first. There's someone in the cultivation room, so let's leave it for last!" Hayashikawa said.
Bu Lian Shi nodded his head. If there was any danger here, it would surely be within the cultivation chamber. Regardless of whether the cultivators inside were dead or alive, for the sake of their own safety, cultivators would set up a magic array within the cultivation chamber. While the magic array might not be particularly powerful, it would at least give the cultivator enough time to wake up from their cultivation session. This was also the reason why cultivators would often end up dying or getting injured when they found grotto-mansions.
There were not many books in the study. Most of them had already dissipated with the passage of time. Some of them seemed to be intact, but the moment they were touched, they turned into ashes and dissipated.
Hayashikawa's hopes of discovering some ancient secret manuals were quickly dashed. He turned around and saw a helpless look on Bu Lianshi's face. She had taken all the books she could find, but she was unable to open any of them.
"It seems like we can only go to the cultivation chamber!" Hayashikawa shrugged and walked out of the study room with Bu Lianshi.
When they arrived at the closed stone door of the cultivation chamber, the two of them did not rush in. Instead, they began to examine it very carefully. Soon, Hayashikawa discovered some subtle clues.
Hayashikawa's white eyes flickered with a faint light as he stared at the wall in front of him and carefully examined it. "There's light spiritual energy circulating within the wall. It's not very obvious. Perhaps because of the passage of time, most of it has been worn away, but there's still some left!"
Bu Lianshi frowned and said, "I can also feel the spiritual energy fluctuations within it. However, this is an ancient magic array. I can't see its specific use, and I don't know how to open it!"
Hayashikawa stroked his chin and said softly, "Although I can't understand this magic array, it's not a bad idea to find the core of this magic array and then open it!"
Bu Lianshi shook her head and said, "This wall can only be opened according to the incantation. If we forcibly open it, we will definitely trigger the magic array. That's why we can't find the core of the magic array!"
Her Absolute Perception had already discovered the core of the magic array. Because it was the core of the magic array, there was a large amount of light spiritual energy flowing around it. If they forcibly opened the wall, it would be no different from forcibly destroying the magic array. She did not know what would happen then.
However, when Bu Lianshi turned to look at Hayashikawa, she saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had a card up his sleeve.
"You have a way?"
Seeing Hayashikawa's familiar smile, Bu Lianshi immediately felt relieved. She knew that this matter should not be a problem for Hayashikawa, although she did not know what Hayashikawa had in mind.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Hayashikawa said softly.
Following the flow of the magic array, Byakugan had already found the core of the magic array. Hayashikawa turned around and walked over. As he walked, he began to form hand seals. The purple-gold Sage Technique Chakra flowed out of his meridians.
"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Jutsu!"
Hayashikawa took a deep breath and gently blew it out.
In an instant, the originally solid wall began to sink, and a large amount of white smoke came out. The wall was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bu Lianshi looked at Hayashikawa with some surprise. This strange method was indeed Hayashikawa's style. He always seemed to be able to find the most effective way to deal with it when it was most needed. He was powerful and mysterious, and no one could ever know his bottom line.
Facing the melting wall, Hayashikawa was very satisfied. This was the first time he used Skillful Mist Jutsu, and its power did not let him down.
Although Lava Release also has a corrosive ability, it's still a little worse than Skillful Mist Jutsu. You must know that during the Five Kage Summit, Mizukage Mei used this move to dissolve Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo. Although Sasuke's strength was damaged at that time, it can be seen how terrifying this move is.
Hayashikawa controlled the output of Senjutsu Chakra, and kept the powerful acidic effect of Skillful Mist Jutsu.
Soon, the core of the magic array was exposed. What surprised Hayashikawa was that the corrosive power of Skillful Mist Jutsu also had an effect on the core of the magic array. Although the melting speed was very slow, the entire magic array was being dissolved little by little by Hayashikawa's Ninjutsu.
"The effect is better than expected!" Bu Lianshi said with some surprise.
After all, it was an ancient magic array, and it has been eroded by time. Hayashikawa's Skillful Mist Jutsu was the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the entire magic array to slowly collapse and dissipate silently.
"Let's go in and see!" Hayashikawa chuckled, and directly reached out and pushed the stone door of the practice room.
But the next moment, Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi were nailed in place, looking at the stone door with horror.
"You are finally here!"
An old voice slowly came from behind the stone door.
