Guang Bei's body did not have any abnormalities. It seemed that at least in this thousand feet, there were no accidents!
Obviously more relaxed, Guang Bei spoke concisely.
"I went down a thousand feet, and after three bends, I used my divine sense to explore. After the three bends, there was a straight path of more than five thousand feet, and then another bend …
The size of the cave basically did not change, so I could not use it! It was all rock walls, and there was very little soil!
Within a thousand feet, I did not find any signs of demon beast activity, no imprints, and no aura! I also did not find any traces of human activity!
My judgment is that this cave is very likely a leaked Geocentric Cave. Of course, the specific situation can only be handled by the sect. This is not something we can investigate! "
Geocentric Cave was a specialty of the Fifth Ring! As the name implied, it was a cave passage that led directly to the Geocentric Cave.
This thing came from a very long time ago, and there were not many historical records. It was probably tens of thousands of years ago, when the domain changed owners, there was a great battle of cultivators in the depths of the Geocentric Cave. As a result, countless passages were created, leading the spiritual opportunity from the Geocentric Cave to the surface. In this sense, the Geocentric Cave of the Fifth Ring was a treasure land!
However, this treasure land was forbidden to enter, for fear that someone would cause trouble in the Geocentric Cave and destroy the spiritual opportunity of the entire domain. Therefore, after the great battle, the major sects of the Fifth Ring spent a long time sealing these passages one by one. This was a very complicated task because there were countless of such passages. Fortunately, the people of the Fifth Ring were also innumerable, so after tens of thousands of years, such passages had disappeared from the three major domains of the Fifth Ring.
Disappeared? It was not absolute. Even a fool knew that the top sects would definitely leave secret passages in private, so extinction was only for ordinary cultivators.
Wolf Ridge was a special place, and human cultivators did not set foot in it much. The human cultivators at the beginning had sealed most of the passages after exploring it a few times, but there were definitely some that were left out occasionally. This was the source of Guang Bei's guess, and it had yet to be confirmed.
Everyone also relaxed. It was good to have a source. Although there might not be any gains from the mystic realm, discovering a Geocentric Cave was also a great merit.
However, the Northgazing Tribe's entrustment was still a little tricky! Should they continue investigating? Or throw it to the sect? The four of them could not seal this kind of underground cave. It was not as simple as collapsing the cave. It required a series of complicated operations. In theory, the right way to seal the underground cave was to go down to the core. This required at least Yuanying.
Guang Bei was also a little uncertain. "If we hand it over to the sect, there will definitely be Grandmaster Yuanying coming to seal it. Once and for all, there will be no future trouble. It can also be considered as solving the Northgazing Tribe's worries. It's just that this time will have to be delayed. Besides, we can't tell them what happened inside. The whereabouts of the three Northgazing cultivators? What was the reason? Did something come up from underground?
This matter is hard to decide. Everyone, speak up. I can't make the decision alone! "
Yan Bo pondered and said, "We still have two more clans that we haven't visited yet. Counting the time we have to go back, we still have at least three to four months before we can return home. During this period of time, no one can guarantee that something will jump out of the cave! Although nothing strange has happened for tens of thousands of years, if something coincidentally comes out after notifying us, it will be detrimental to Xuanyuan's reputation. There will be rumors that Xuanyuan only knows how to control the Gaoshan Tribe and not protect them! "
In fact, there was another way, which was to use the emergency Blue Bird Talisman! Cultivators had various means to send messages. If it was in the plains, they only needed to use an ordinary talisman. It could be transmitted through the forces of Xuanyuan in various cities in the Western Regions. It was the most time-saving and labor-saving method. However, this was a mountainous area. There were no cities controlled by Xuanyuan in a radius of five to six thousand miles, so this way was not possible.
The Blue Bird Talisman was Xuanyuan's most precious personal communication talisman. Because it was too complicated to make and the materials were precious, each Foundation Establishment cultivator only had one talisman. It was reserved for the most urgent times. This kind of thing was obviously not urgent. It had existed for tens of thousands of years. Why would they care about this little bit of time?
Yan Cheng suggested, "We can also make a compromise. It's not good for us to not go down, but it's also impossible for us to go down to the bottom! It's better to go as deep as we can. Of course, it's best if we get something. If we don't find anything, it means that it's not my fault. It'll also be easier to explain to the Northgazing Tribe. When Grandmaster comes and goes down from here, he'll naturally see the reason clearly. "
Guang Bei nodded. "Junior Sister's idea is good! It's very reasonable. What do you think, Xiaoyi? "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "It's already three to one. How can I value it? I'll listen to everyone! "
This was a reserved opinion. He couldn't say it now because he didn't have any concrete doubts. He couldn't say, "Brothers and sisters, it's better to avoid trouble, right?"
Action, after all, had to be spoken with reason, not intuition. The intuition of a timid person and the intuition of a fearless person were not the same thing! Bold people saw benefits and achievements, and timid people saw dangers and what-ifs. There was no comparison!
Guang Bei made a decision. "Okay! Let's take the depth of six thousand feet as the standard. After six thousand feet, regardless of whether we get anything or not, we'll leave immediately! "
Six thousand feet was not just a hot-headed remark. The location of the Northgazing Tribe was already at the edge of the Wolf Ridge. The mountain here was far lower than the average height of ten thousand feet in the Wolf Ridge. And humans lived in the mountains. Of course, they would not find a high place, but a low, flat place with a water source to settle down.
The settlement of the Northgazing Tribe was about three thousand feet above sea level. Guang Bei said six thousand feet, but in fact, it was three thousand feet below ground level. There was a problem of spiritual pressure here. The Foundation Establishment had its own limit. It was impossible to go all the way down. If the Earth's Core Cave was a long straight hole, if the Foundation Establishment fell down, they would explode from the spiritual pressure without even reaching the Earth's Core!
In theory, the Foundation Establishment could withstand about five thousand feet below ground level, so Guang Bei still left a surplus of two thousand feet.
Everyone agreed, and then the next question was, "Someone must stay at the entrance of the cave! Tell me, who wants to stay? "
No one said a word. Yan Bo and Yan Chang were really unwilling, and Lou Xiaoyi was pretending not to be willing. But even if they wanted to stay and hide from danger, they couldn't be so blatant, right? If they really said it, wouldn't they be laughed at by Yan Bo for a lifetime? How could they quarrel with him in the future?
Guang Bei was very fair, "If there is a fight in the narrow cave, the inner sword has an advantage over the outer sword. Your flying sword is too big and inconvenient, so I'll make the decision. Yan Bo and I must go in. Or, junior sister, you and Xiaoyi will draw lots?"
Yan Chang was very unwilling, "Senior brother, why don't we follow our hearts? Cigarette Butt must want to be lazy. It's better to avoid trouble. He's the most timid. In this case, let's just do what we want. I'll go down and he'll stay. Everyone will be happy! "
Yan Bo gloated and appreciated her junior sister's straightforwardness.
"Junior sister is right. This boy has always been timid. After five years of getting along with him, I can't be wrong about him!"
