Chapter 118: The Underground World

  "Knife Spirit, what exactly is hidden in this deep pit?"

  The energy here can actually be absorbed by the Ancient Emperor's Hall, it's really astonishing.

  "To be honest, I'm not quite sure, it's the information that Gu Di Temple fed back to me." Dao Ling paused for a moment and continued: "Master, we need to think of a way to sneak into the cave without being detected!"

  I know!

  Qiu Zhen and the others had obviously been here for a long time. Although Qiu Zhen was healing his injuries with the help of the crimson light, if they had the opportunity and were prepared, they would not mind going into the cave to take a look. After all, one beam of light could have such an effect, so whatever was below must be even better.

  This treasure, who wouldn't want it!

  One day, with the help of a knife, even if it's just for a moment at dawn or night, there's no need to worry about anything. But if they find out that I've fallen into a deep pit, who knows what other ideas these people might come up with.

  Scorching temperatures, like surging waves, invaded, and the time that Chen Ye's cultivation could hold on to had arrived. If he didn't leave, without Tian Dao's help, it would be certain death!

  "Heh heh, young brother, my injury has stabilized and doesn't require absorbing too much energy from here. Since we've met, it's fate, so let me help you out!"

  Qiu Zhen smiled lightly, and the iron tower that was originally in the crimson light suddenly appeared above Chen Ye's head. In an instant, a powerful force like a mountain pressed down, as if it were a prison cage, making Chen Ye unable to move.

  Immediately, Qiu Zhen made a slight movement, and Chen Ye's body involuntarily floated into the deep abyss.

  "Little brother, this is a rare opportunity, you enjoy it well, old man and others will wait for you here!"

  Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh, it was as if whenever he wanted to sleep, someone would immediately bring a pillow over, regardless of its quality... Chen Ye's gaze turned cold.

  "Grandfather, with his cultivation, going down will surely mean death. This way, there's not even a bit of precaution, for us, it's not a good thing?" The woman said softly after a moment.

  Qiu Zhen smiled faintly and said, "As for what's below, I don't know either. All I understand is that if my cultivation goes down, there's only one path - death... Let him go down, he'll definitely stir up some noise. This way, we can find out what's really below and how much power it takes to let us pass through safely. If it's not something we can handle now, then we can only wait for later."

  Upon hearing this, the woman smiled and said: "He is honored to be able to scout ahead for our Autumn family!"

  "This place is incredibly mysterious. If our Autumn family completely owns it, not only can we dominate Qingyang Town, but our influence can also expand further out. How could outsiders possibly know about it?"

  Qiu Zhen said coldly: "It's all because this kid has a poor fate, knowing what he shouldn't know."

  This hole is very deep!

  After being pushed down by the autumn shock, it fell for several minutes, with a distance of hundreds of meters, and yet there was no bottom in sight. Not only did the light grow darker and darker, but the area of the deep pit also grew larger and larger.

  Now, Chen Ye could feel that the space he was in had already become as large as a square, and it was still expanding with the fall.

  "This can't be a labyrinth, right?"

  Under the wrapping of Tian Dao's light, Chen Ye could see the surrounding environment clearly. The mountain walls under the ground were all in a strange fire red color, emitting bursts of green smoke, and the scorching heat was getting stronger and stronger, making Chen Ye wonder if he had fallen into a volcano.

  Pong!

  It wasn't until much later that Chen Ye's feet finally landed steadily on solid ground.

  "It's so hot!"

  His complexion changed greatly at night, and with the help of Tianjian's energy, he was able to make his way down without being burned by the scorching air. However, even so, when he reached the bottom of the earth, the fierce heat wave made him feel as if he was being roasted on a stove.

  The area here is very large, at least, as far as the eye can see, it's not the end, square and round, without a hint of life, only that scorching heat!

  Treading on the ground, Chen Ye felt no hardness at all, it was as if he was walking on a swamp, the temperature was too high, making the ground feel like it was about to melt.

  But it's strange that under such high temperatures, there hasn't been a collapse here yet. Looking around with my soul perception, it seems like some kind of powerful energy is maintaining everything.

  The high temperature envelops this underground world, directly presenting a dizzy state, as if it's not real at all!

  In this almost illusory sensory experience, Chen Ye felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was surprisingly abundant, perhaps also due to the high temperature, these spiritual energies all existed in a state close to liquid.

  The night of the day before yesterday was still an unprecedented experience. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth can be vaguely touched by hand.

  "Knife Spirit, how is it?"

  "Hum!"

  The night of Chen had just fallen, a slight ripple, Tian Dao and Gu Di Temple appeared in pairs!

  The heavenly sword floated above Chen Ye's head, protecting him with its energy and preventing him from being melted by the omnipresent high temperature, while the ancient imperial palace was slowly emitting its purple glow.

  A purple glow, similar to the sensing power of the ancient emperor's palace, covered a piece of land for a moment before seemingly failing to find the energy it needed. Then, with a slight movement, it burst out violently in front.

  Such actions, after a while, almost all of the underground world was explored by the ancient temple, and then returned to Chen Ye's side.

  "Knife Spirit, how is it?" Chen Ye hastily asked.

  "It's strange, the Ancient Emperor's Palace can't find the source of this high temperature." Dao Ling's voice had a hint of solemnity.

  Chen Ye was also shocked, although the ancient emperor's temple is now in a severely injured state. Chen Ye believed that with the latter's divine powers, it may not be able to help him fight against his enemies for now, but finding something here should still be possible. Unexpectedly...

  "It can't be found anyway, let the ancient temple absorb energy here!" Chen Ye said after a moment of silence.

  When outside, it is said that the energy is too little to move the ancient emperor's palace, but when we arrive here, it appears on its own, which means that the energy is sufficient and dense enough for the ancient emperor's palace to absorb, and there should be plenty of it.

  "It's not that simple!"

  "Master, if this place was naturally formed by heaven and earth, then we can absorb these energies without any worries. But I clearly sense that this place has its own master."

  "This is a place with an owner, so we can't stay here for too long. We have to find out where that guy is first, or else we'll be at a disadvantage."

  "After a long silence, his eyes narrowed and he said, 'Don't worry about these things for now. Let the Ancient Emperor's Palace absorb its energy first. If there really is any trouble, we can talk about it then. With the three of us, are you afraid that we can't handle one guy?'"

  "Master?"

  "Alright, alright, I understand what you mean," said Chen Ye with a wave of his hand. "Don't hesitate, just do as I say!"

  Being able to create such a scene, it is without a doubt that the master here must be extremely powerful. Whether it's Tian Jian or Gu Di Dian, both are currently in a heavily injured state and would have a hard time dealing with the master here. As for Chen Ye himself?

  The initial three realms of Xuan are already a boundary, and even self-preservation is impossible here!

  But can't take care of that much anymore, the recovery of Tiandao, Chenye can still rely on his own cultivation, and in the future, there will be opportunities to find those places mentioned by Jianling, but Gu Diandian...

  Now there is a good opportunity, it must not be missed, whatever it says, it has to be seized!

  "Go ahead, Emperor!"

  At midnight, sitting cross-legged, the great stillness and extinction of the mind technique immediately started to run and rise, maintaining its best state. At the same time, the soul's power surged out with all its might, covering as much ground as it could.

  After a moment, the ancient emperor's temple seemed to unfurl like a banner in the wind, expanding countless times in an instant. The entire underground world below was instantly enveloped by the ancient emperor's temple, with purple light transforming into tendrils that extended deep into the earth. In an instant, one could feel the intense energy aura pouring into the ancient emperor's temple at incredible speed!
