The Eighty-Seventh Underground Cave

  No one knew how much time had passed again when Zuo Xiao Yao, who was almost exhausted, finally moved to the nearest place to that small platform. She suddenly felt something entering her body extremely quickly, and she fainted as a result.

  The light around suddenly disappeared, and the entire cliff bottom became pitch black. Standing still, I clearly felt the oppressive feeling getting stronger and stronger. The lone goose almost instinctively ran forward.

  The cliff bottom was silent, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing as he ran forward. This realization made Yan Nan stop involuntarily, and he stood there for a long time, his legs numb. When he started running again, he almost fell several times. He didn't know where Zuo Xiao Yao had gone, she had already disappeared from his line of sight.

  Those bright lights were still there, the further forward they went, the lower the visibility was. Lonely Goose only knew that after Left Xiaoyao disappeared in the light he could see, a very long time had passed, so long that his heart was unsettled and didn't know what to do, didn't know if he should disobey Left Xiaoyao's orders and go in to find her with all his might. But when he, who had never been indecisive before, still hadn't made a final decision, these bright lights suddenly disappeared.

  I don't know where Zuo Xiao Yao went, nor do I know why this light suddenly disappeared. Gu Yan only felt a sigh of relief, although he was very worried about Zuo Xiao Yao's situation at the moment, but in his opinion, as long as there is no overwhelming pressure that makes people feel unbearable, Zuo Xiao Yao must be fine.

  But little did she know that at this moment, Zuo Xiao Yao was in a state of extreme danger. When the round ball on the platform the size of two palms suddenly entered her body on its own, the long-lost spiritual power, dantian, and the three treasures of the divine sea, Zi Zun, all appeared simultaneously.

  However, in the lower abdomen, an unexpected "guest" appeared. At first glance, Zuo Xiaoyao had already recognized it, which was the Yu Long Ding that had caused a stir among cultivators from various countries in the Sahara Desert, suspected to be a legendary object of the Xiuzhen world!

  Although she didn't know why it suddenly appeared in her dantian, the grass-wood divine power that the purple-robed woman gave her was clearly trying to suppress it. The newly added sphere was also taking it as an opponent without any courtesy, continuously attacking it. In this situation, Zuo Xiaoyao could be very certain of one thing: that black tripod was really a quite unwelcome guy!

  As the dragon head outside the black cauldron occasionally spat out a large amount of black gas with great power, the new round ball in the dantian immediately released a more sacred light to counter it, causing the black gas that made Xue Xiao Yao feel extremely uncomfortable to slowly dissipate as if melted. However, when the round ball and the black cauldron's powers clashed, her body, which was the battlefield, suffered immense pain that was hard to imagine. When the meridians in her body were repeatedly fractured, the grass-wood divine power would release a few strands of faint life force to repair them anew.

  Since Zuo left Xiao Yao's Jinjie Zhuji, the divine power of that grass and wood in her Shen Hai had been greatly reduced. She could clearly feel that the divine power was much weaker than before, but she didn't know what had happened to it over the past year or so. However, she vaguely sensed that the self-aware divine power seemed to be wary of the black tripod, as if it instinctively wanted to suppress it.

  In the dark and endless depths, Zuo Xiaoyao was too busy trying to stay awake to care about time. When she saw that the black cauldron's power was finally weakening, and the black gas spewing from its mouth was becoming thinner, she noticed that the indescribable pain her body was enduring also began to subside somewhat, and she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  Two extraordinary big shots performed a full martial arts performance. As the 'host' providing the 'venue', Zuo Xiao Yao neither had the qualifications to interfere with the situation nor had the opportunity to say 'no'. Although it was uncertain what kind of 'harvest' the outcome would bring her when this battle in her body ended, but anyway, she couldn't just do nothing. So, she looked forward to this battle ending as soon as possible more than either side did. After all, whether she stuck her head out or not, it would still be a knife, so she could only wait for the last moment to seize an opportunity to fight for some benefits for herself.

  Reality is always cruel, when the black gas surrounding the black cauldron completely disappeared, the black dragon that had floated out of the cauldron and was originally majestic and powerful once again merged into the cauldron body, becoming the relief-like state that Zuo Xiao Yao saw it in for the first time in the depths of the Sahara Desert. The sphere, after a brilliant light burst forth, quickly sank into the cauldron and disappeared without a trace, along with the unknown divine power that had left the Divine Sea and entered the Dan Tian region together with the grass and wood spiritual powers.

  Before she could think about how this ending came about, Zuo Xiaoyao suddenly felt that the black cauldron seemed to have some connection with her. She then felt the boulder under her feet suddenly drop automatically. Earlier, she was only focused on introspecting the elixir in her dantian and didn't notice anything unusual until it was too late!

  Once again, I experienced the thrill of free-falling with my body out of control. In just a few breaths, I had already reached my destination. Since I was sitting on this massive boulder beneath me, I no longer had to worry about my body being smashed into pulp. Although Xiaoyao only subconsciously managed to hurry and circulate her long-absent spiritual energy throughout her body, she did so in order to guard against any unexpected events.

  Unlike the dark and gloomy cave at the bottom of the cliff, Zuo Xiao Yao sat on a rock, not in a hurry to get up, her expression was somewhat solemn as she scanned this spacious and bright underground cave that was like daylight.

  After sizing up the surrounding stones of various shapes and sizes, or the earth mounds like pillars, Zuo Xiao Yao's first impression was that this should be a naturally formed underground cave. She didn't feel any threat at all, so she slowly got up and walked towards the yellowish-brown ground. After circling around the large and small stone caves or earthen caves, it seemed unlikely that anyone had ever lived here before.

  The reason why the cave is as bright as daylight is due to those irregularly distributed stones of various sizes on the ground, which are called night-glowing stones in modern alchemy. In today's material scarcity, it can be considered a rare and precious thing, with few circulating outside.

  Judging from the situation, it is highly likely that there is a vein of luminous ore beneath this cave. If they can be excavated and brought back to modern times, it can be expected that they will make a small fortune. However, for cultivators, they are of no use in their cultivation, and no matter how rare they are, their value is extremely limited. Zuo Xiaoyao naturally didn't put them in her heart, she only felt that this cave must have secrets, otherwise, she wouldn't have been 'invited' here in such a way.

  So, after she had searched every nook and cranny of the vast underground cavern that spanned over a thousand square meters without finding anything, she reluctantly released her enhanced spiritual awareness, which seemed to have improved significantly since the previous encounter, to thoroughly sweep through the cave, determined not to miss any corner. Zuo Xiao Yao couldn't believe it was just a coincidence that the rock had fallen at the right time and she happened to be sitting on it, leading her to unintentionally stumble upon this underground cave.

  Hehe, since I've already coded it, might as well release it now. Tomorrow will strive to update more!
