The Secret of the Dwelling
Chu Xingyun came to the side of the small lake with the Air Splitter in hand.
He held his breath and concentrated.
Threads of pure spirit power emanated and completely merged into the Air Splitter Sword, causing the body of the sword to tremble slightly, as if it was slowly accumulating power.
Not long after, Chu Xingyun's faintly closed eyes suddenly opened as he swept his sword across. A fierce wind blade exploded from the Air Splitter Sword and disappeared into the lake with lightning speed.
Rumble!
A muffled sound exploded as the lake was split into two by the Air Splitter Wind Blade. One could clearly see the bottom of the lake from where the blade had been cut.
"What a strong force." Chu Xingyun's expression was slightly stern. With his current strength, he could only barely deploy fifty percent of the Air Splitter Wind Blade's power. Even so, the destructive power of the wind blade was still strong and could easily tear apart the lake water.
According to Chu Xingyun's estimations, the power of this blow was comparable to the full strength blow of a practitioner of the third level of spirit gathering. If the Air Splitter Wind Blade's power was fully deployed, it could even threaten a practitioner of the earth spirit realm.
However, although the Air Splitter Wind Blade's power was strong, its side effects were also obvious. It required an enormous amount of spirit power to be used.
Chu Xingyun was currently at the seventh level of tempered body and the spirit power within his body had been completely exhausted after using it once. He needed to rest for a period of time before he could continue to use it.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Chu Xingyun seemed to have discovered something as his gaze suddenly froze.
In his field of vision, a long crack had appeared at the bottom of the lake.
This crack had naturally been torn apart by the Air Splitter Wind Blade, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that there was an extremely weak light emanating from the edges of the crack.
If it hadn't been for Chu Xingyun's keen eyes, this light would have been easily overlooked.
When some of the spirit power within his body had recovered, Chu Xingyun jumped directly into the lake and arrived at the location of the crack.
Through the weak light, he vaguely saw a protruding rock within the crack. It was very strange. It was completely different from the rocks at the bottom of the lake. It seemed to have been placed there by someone.
Chu Xingyun stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the rock.
In an instant, a rumbling sound similar to the activation of a mechanism was heard. The entire lake began to tremble violently. Countless water splashed and even splashed up.
Then, under Chu Xingyun's astonished gaze, the water on both sides of the lake parted with him as the center. In front of him, a secret passage appeared. It was dark and he did not know where it led.
"There really is a secret hidden here!" Chu Xingyun gasped as he looked at the secret passage in front of him.
In the past, when he came to this expert's cave, he just casually took away the things inside and didn't investigate much.
Moreover, even if he searched carefully, he probably wouldn't be able to find this secret passage. Who would have thought that there was actually a secret passage hidden at the bottom of such an inconspicuous lake?
Stepping into the secret passage, on both sides of the walls, there were luminous pearls embedded in them. They were emitting a faint light.
In addition to the light, Chu Xingyun also felt a vigorous aura directly oppressing his body. It seemed to be deliberately blocking him from moving forward.
However, the more mysterious and unpredictable it was, the more interested Chu Xingyun was. He couldn't help but quicken his pace.
At the end of the secret passage, there were two huge stone doors in front of him. On the stone doors, there were strange lines carved. Vaguely, they seemed to form an obscure pattern. The vigorous aura was emitted from this pattern.
"Nine Elements Chaos Array!"
Chu Xingyun's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked at the pattern in front of him in disbelief. He even rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn't hallucinating.
The Nine Elements Chaos Array was extremely famous. It was a Lv 8 Spiritual Array.
As long as this array was set up, any place covered by the array would become impregnable. Even a Martial Emperor level expert would need three days and three nights to forcibly break it open.
Chu Xingyun had encountered this Spiritual Array before and had a deep impression of it, so he recognized it at a glance.
But he never would have thought that he would encounter this astonishing Spiritual Array again in such a remote and desolate place like West Wind City.
"Strange, I have carefully searched the entire cave. In my judgment, the strength of the owner of this cave is not high, and it is impossible for him to set up a Lv 8 Spiritual Array."
Chu Xingyun carefully looked around and found that the stone walls on the left and right were made of extremely solid gold and jade stones. But the stone wall of the secret passage in the distance was made of the most ordinary cyan stone.
"I understand!" Chu Xingyun's lips curved in a smile of understanding. He finally figured everything out.
Based on his speculation, the stone door in front of him should have existed for thousands of years.
When the owner of the cave accidentally discovered this stone door, he also felt that the stone door was extraordinary. In order to take it for himself, he simply built a cave and completely concealed the stone door.
The ancient characters that appeared on the walls of the cave were very likely related to this stone door!
"The owner of this cave is somewhat thoughtful. If I had not accidentally discovered the mystery at the bottom of the lake, no matter how I searched, I would not have been able to find this place." Chu Xingyun sighed slightly.
He slowly walked to the front of the stone door and used his spiritual power to envelop the Nine Elements Chaos Array on the stone door.
After thousands of years, the aura of the array was very weak, and almost all the eyes of the array had been destroyed. If it was at its peak, Chu Xingyun would have been blown away by the Nine Elements Chaos Array before he could step into the secret passage.
After spending an hour, Chu Xingyun opened the stone door from a damaged eye of the array. A long passage appeared in front of him, leading directly to the underground.
This time, Chu Xingyun became cautious. He found that the walls on both sides of the passage were densely engraved with ancient characters, which were very similar to the characters outside the cave. This proved that his previous speculation was correct.
Walking down the passage, the path was not long. Soon, he came to a wide flat area. It was empty, and there was nothing except for a building that looked like an altar in the middle of the flat area.
On both sides of the altar, there were two huge stone pillars, which were engraved with mountains and rivers and hundreds of beasts. Each of them was so lifelike, ferocious and domineering, as if there were hundreds of beasts living here.
As for the center of the altar, there was an oval-shaped jade stone floating. It was about the size of an adult's head, crystal clear, and faintly emitting pure spiritual energy.
Chu Xingyun looked at the jade stone deeply.
In addition to the spiritual energy, he also keenly captured a sense of vitality. It was very weak, but it really existed.
