Yi Tian paid attention to their surroundings as they walked down the ice cave's passageway. The three of them walked down the long and narrow passageway. Not long after, they arrived at the transfer passageway. He Xuan's gaze swept across the six passageways in front of him, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.
As for Helian Bo, he used his Divine Sense to investigate before saying, "There's something strange about this place. It seems like there's a layer of spiritual aura that's isolating my Divine Sense. There's so much that I can't investigate further than two to three kilometers away. "
"What should we do now? Don't tell me that we have to investigate each of these six passageways one by one?" Yi Tian asked.
"Let's split up." He Xuan also didn't expect such a situation to occur. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "This Fine Jade Ice Cave should have two fakes of spirit tools left behind. However, if we want to find them, we'll need a bit of luck."
"Then if we find them, how do we contact them?" Yi Tian asked.
He Xuan took out a round jade tablet and divided it into three. He handed them to Yi Tian and Helian Bo, and said, "This is a Message Talisman. Once activated, the jade tablets in the other two's hands will also react."
After going through one passageway, Helian Bo chose a passageway and directly walked in. As for He Xuan, he shook his head and turned to face Yi Tian, saying, "After we find those two spirit tools, we'll need the help of Fellow Daoist's Wasp to take them out."
"There's something that has always puzzled me. I hope Fellow Daoist He Xuan can tell me the truth?" Yi Tian asked without any reason.
He Xuan's brows furrowed. After staring for a while, he helplessly replied, "Brother Yi, you have some doubts about the situation here, right?"
"Exactly. Fellow Daoist He, it seems like this is your first time here. How do you know that my Wasp can help you take out the spirit tools?" Yi Tian asked with deep meaning. If he couldn't get a reasonable explanation for this question, then their cooperation would inevitably become superficial.
"The information about this place came from my father. My ancestor was the spirit pet of a powerful being in the Spirit Realm, so he knew about the secrets here." He Xuan thought for a moment, then gave a brief explanation of the situation he was referring to.
It turned out that this was a cave abode left behind by a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator, and only the spirit pets and disciples of the same time period knew about its secrets.
Coincidentally, He Xuan was the descendant of such a person, which was why he had the key to open the door. As for the one in Helian Bo's hand, it was probably left behind by the Yaksha Tribe.
Yi Tian nodded slightly, then chose a path and walked in alone. As for He Xuan, he didn't waste any time and directly chose the third path and went in.
After taking Yi Tian for less than a quarter of a mile, he realized that he could no longer detect the other two with his Divine Telekinesis. He guessed that they would feel the same way.
After slowing down his footsteps, he began to quietly ponder in his heart. The layout of this immortal's cave seemed to be familiar. Furthermore, the six paths in front of him were not randomly carved.
Seeing as this was the temporary abode of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator, could it be that there weren't any formations or defensive mechanisms in place? On top of that, he had noticed that the entire passageway seemed to be arranged in the form of an Eight Trigrams Formation, but there were only seven paths, including the one that he had entered. There was clearly a hidden shortcut. He Xuan's ancestor was only a spirit pet, so he naturally wouldn't have been able to see through the intricacies of this formation.
However, it wouldn't be too late for him to turn back and break the formation now, so he immediately turned to go back.
However, his expression stiffened slightly as he discovered that the path up ahead had become a little blurry, as if some Han Qi had appeared from behind and cut off the path back. As such, he could only shake his head in a resigned manner and continue onward.
Not long after the three of them had reached the fork in the path, two figures emerged from the original passageway. If Yi Tian were to see them again, he would definitely be able to identify them as Kong Xing and Kong Yun.
After the two of them entered the stone chamber, Kong Yun appraised the passageway down below with a smile, and said, "There were three people who came in earlier, and they chose the Gen, Kun, and Zhen paths respectively."
"How does Senior Martial Brother know?" Kong Xing asked, puzzled.
"This is the temporary resting place of my Ming Lun Temple's ancestors and the Spirit Realm's powerhouses. They also left behind a formation diagram, so I naturally recognized it after checking it," Kong Yun said proudly.
"Then why doesn't Senior Martial Brother hurry up, lest those three people get ahead of us," Kong Xing hurriedly said.
"There's no need to hurry. Since I know the formation diagram, of course I know there is a shortcut. However, the treasure in the cave is not easy to obtain. We still have to wait for the fated ones," Kong Yun said.
"Isn't the fated ones just you and me?" Kong Xing smiled.
"No, it is estimated that the three people in front must have the key in their hands, so they can open the door. Perhaps this poor monk will have to deal with them later." After Kong Yun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and took out a formation diagram. He cast it towards the ice cave passageway in front of him.
After a "ka ka ka" sound came from the wall, a seventh path appeared above the six passageways.
"Let's go, this is the right path." Kong Yun's figure paused for a moment before flying straight into the passageway. Soon after, Kong Xing hurriedly followed. In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared. After ten breaths of time, the stone door of the passageway closed again, hiding the passageway behind the stone wall.
Inside the passageway, Yi Tian was completely unaware of the two uninvited guests behind him. Instead, he encountered an earth puppet blocking the way in front of him. After he took out the Taiyuan Sword and defeated them all, he didn't expect the earth puppets to combine again. This situation was very similar to the Blood Refined Flesh Monster he had encountered in the Fallen Lands.
However, these earth puppets didn't have the slightest bit of demonic Qi. Instead, they were full of spiritual power. At a glance, he could tell they were the guards of the ice cave.
After he destroyed them again, Yi Tian's eyelids suddenly trembled. The earth puppet seemed to be getting stronger as it fought. After several attacks, it was able to combine again and block the passageway.
Moreover, its resistance to attacks was constantly increasing. The amount of spiritual power he used to attack was also gradually increasing. After carefully sizing it up, Yi Tian once again took out his spiritual sword. However, his left hand took out several nanmu seeds.
The incomparably sharp sword light flashed once again and cut the earth puppet in front of him into several pieces. At the same time, his left hand gently flicked the seeds and sent them into the puppet's body.
Seeing this, Yi Tian's face was filled with joy. He hurriedly formed hand seals and pointed at the earth puppet several times. However, the earth puppet's movements didn't stop at all. It took a step forward and arrived in front of him.
In close combat, a huge fist suddenly smashed towards his face. Yi Tian didn't show any weakness. He coldly snorted and his body emitted a golden light. After using the Golden Sun Movement Technique, he began to attack the earth puppet in front of him.
It seemed that the strength of these earth puppets wasn't low. It was just that his body technique's defensive power was stronger. When the fist smashed into his body, he shook slightly. However, Yi Tian's punches and kicks were able to send the earth puppet flying ten meters away.
After fighting for about half an hour, Yi Tian suddenly discovered that the earth puppet's movements weren't as fast as before. Moreover, the power of its fist was rapidly weakening. He could see many green sprouts growing out of the earth puppet's body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Afterwards, they absorbed spiritual power and restricted its movements.
