Just like that, the battle ended. None of the spectators were able to enjoy themselves to the fullest. It was rare to see a battle of this level.
However, when Yi Tian spoke, Zai Fuhong's face changed. In the end, he said with difficulty, "That's fine. Let's end this peacefully. How should we arrange the people who will go down?"
Yi Tian smiled, "Since it's a tie, let's each send five cultivators down. That way, we won't suffer a loss in a twenty versus twenty battle. What does Fellow Daoist Zai Fuhong think?"
Zai Fuhong suggested, "That's good. Fellow Daoist Zai Fuhong didn't deceive me. In a moment, we'll each send twenty people down to explore the cave. As for what happens inside, we'll leave it to fate."
"Alright, we'll do as Fellow Daoist says." Yi Tian waved his hand and retreated.
Qiao Yongjun, who was standing at the side, was puzzled. He asked in a low voice, "Why does Fellow Daoist Yi keep giving in to him? What kind of state would our Asura Tribe be in?"
Yi Tian confidently replied, "Don't be angry, Fellow Daoist Qiao. I have a backup plan. Let's return to the transport ship and have the twenty people that will go in come together."
Qiao Yongjun's expression eased and the three of them quickly returned to the transport ship. Soon, twenty Deity Transformation cultivators rushed to the main cabin of the transport ship. Needless to say, they had received instructions from their commander.
A moment later, they set out again under Qiao Yongjun's lead. But all of them had excited expressions on their faces. The gloominess between their brows had been swept away and was replaced by an overbearing baleful aura.
As for Yi Tian, he didn't follow them out. He had already seen through Zai Fuhong's strength. Even after consuming the Origin Essence Fruit, Zai Fuhong's strength hadn't been able to pose any threat to him. After exchanging blows with Zai Fuhong, he discovered a few of the Barbarian Tribe cultivators' weaknesses. They focused on cultivating their physical bodies, so their souls were bound to be lacking.
As long as he had a large number of cultivators who cultivated illusions, he would be able to easily defeat Zai Fuhong. As for the fact that Zai Fuhong couldn't suppress him despite forcefully raising his cultivation, it was obvious to all. However, Yi Tian didn't want to show off too much. Who knew if Prince Wei's spies were among the imperial guards behind him?
As expected, there would definitely be. Therefore, he did not want to reveal too many of his trump cards to prevent people with ill intentions from noticing and causing unnecessary trouble in Dynasty.
As for when he was in the main cabin of the transport ship just now, he had taken out a large number of Earthly Grade Spirit Tools and handed them to Qiao Yongjun, allowing him to distribute them according to his discretion. Most of these spirit tools were the spoils of war that he had collected in the past. During his free time, he had slightly refined them to repair the damage. At the same time, he had also mixed in a lot of experimental tool patterns to achieve an unexpected effect.
Although it was a spirit tool that he had created out of boredom, it was still quite a fortune for a Deity Transformation cultivator. Letting each of them choose at least one item was a small incentive for them.
Zai Fuhong was probably unable to fight due to the backlash from the Essence Fruit. There were at most two Severed Soul Stage cultivators that could fight. As such, there was no need for him to make a move. He could let Qiao Yongjun do it himself. After they left, Yi Tian slowly disappeared from the cabin. At present, there was no need for him to make a move. He could free himself to check the situation in Clear Mirror Lake.
After quietly flying out of the transport ship, Yi Tian used his concealment technique to fly past the barbarian army and towards the northern shore. By now, he had already thoroughly searched all the islands to the south of Mirror Lake, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
As for the islands near the northern shore, there were many barbarian cultivators stationed there. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not attempt to search them. In addition, the barbarian army had stationed Severed Soul Stage cultivators here, so Yi Tian was a bit cautious.
But now, their attention was drawn to the Azure Lake Island. In other words, as long as he was careful, he could sweep through the islands near the northern shore under the noses of these Severed Soul Stage cultivators.
After passing by the barbarian army, Yi Tian quickly flew towards the islands near the northern shore. He then extended his spiritual sense to a range of fifty kilometers and began to search. This range was just enough for him to search the islands without attracting the attention of the Severed Soul Stage cultivators.
After flying past several islands, he found that there were many barbarian cultivators stationed there, but most of them were Yuanying cultivators. After further searching, he found that there was nothing special about the islands.
Presumably, both sides of the Azure Lake Island had already begun their search. Yi Tian didn't know how long they would take. He calculated in his heart and used his movement technique to gradually search the southern shore.
After flying for a short while, he suddenly saw a flash of golden light on the surface of the lake three hundred kilometers away. The light seemed to be coming from the bottom of the lake. Moreover, the golden light was flashing more and more rapidly.
Needless to say, there was something strange at the bottom of the lake. At the same time, he detected with his spiritual sense that there were five barbarian cultivators rushing towards the surface of the lake. The leader of this group of barbarian scouts was only a mid Deity Transformation Stage cultivator. The others were only Yuanying cultivators.
When the Deity Transformation Stage cultivator discovered the abnormality at the surface of the lake, he immediately summoned his communication jade talisman and flew towards the barbarian camp as a streak of light. After a while, they all jumped into the lake and dived into the water to investigate.
The golden light transformed from the communication jade talisman flew hundreds of miles in the air before it was struck by a green sword ray that appeared out of thin air and dispersed on the spot. Soon after, an afterimage flashed through the air. When it reached the surface of the lake where the golden light had flashed, it plummeted into the water.
Clear Mirror Lake was about a thousand feet deep. After diving two-thirds of the way down, Yi Tian discovered that the surrounding light had been cut off and he couldn't even see his own fingers. When he looked up, the blue surface of the lake seemed to have transformed into the sky above him. Fortunately, the five barbarian scouts all carried Night Luminescent Pearls to illuminate the path ahead. This saved Yi Tian a lot of trouble. All he had to do was stealthily follow behind them.
Suddenly, the golden light at the bottom of the lake lit up again. This time, it illuminated an area of a thousand feet around him. Yi Tian used the light to carefully examine the lake. He discovered that there was a small spell formation below. The source of the light came from the gem embedded in the center of the spell formation.
The group of barbarian cultivators also discovered the abnormality at the bottom of the lake. They all increased their speed and swam over. Soon, they were about a hundred feet above the spell formation. Then, they prepared to begin their investigation.
