Chapter 639: Chapter 515: The Entrance to the Ruins_2
After that, the two of them moved and continued to dive towards the bottom of the lake.
One hundred zhang!
Two hundred zhang!
Two hundred and sixty zhang!
Fortunately, after diving another two hundred and sixty zhang, they finally arrived at the bottom of the lake, setting foot on solid ground.
"Such a deep lakebed, without the cultivation of at least a Heavenly Martial Master Fifth Layer, it’s simply impossible to come down for exploration!" Lin Feng thought to himself.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s gaze pierced through the dim lake water and saw a series of continuous underwater mountains in front of them, hundreds of zhang away. These mountains were not very tall, with the highest one barely exceeding a hundred zhang, but the area they covered was not small. At the very least, with the visibility Lin Feng had now, he could not see the full extent.
And at this moment, in front of one of the mountains, there were a great number of various colored lights flickering. They were Vigorous Origin Qi Shields, which suggested that a large number of Martial Artists were gathered there.
"Qingxuan, can you still hold on?"
Lin Feng asked the Hong Qingxuan beside him. At this moment, Hong Qingxuan looked somewhat similar to Huang Yao previously, with her external cyan Vigorous Origin Qi Shield continuously trembling, as if it could shatter at any moment.
Lin Feng was somewhat concerned. If the other party couldn’t hold on, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Don’t worry, Elder Brother Lin Feng, I can still hold on,"
Hong Qingxuan answered with a forced smile, "Moreover, this kind of pressure is actually a form of training for me. I feel that my cultivation will break through before long under this pressure!"
Lin Feng nodded. He was not surprised by Hong Qingxuan’s strength. If his guess was right, she was likely cultivating an Emperor Level Cultivation Technique of Level Eight.
Having become an Official Disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, receiving the Martial Emperor level inheritance of Changqing Palace, she must be cultivating an Emperor Level Cultivation Technique.
Just talking about the strength of the cultivation techniques, Hong Qingxuan was indeed far beyond Lin Feng at this moment. Lin Feng’s Great Chaotic Five Elements Divine Technique, though heaven-defying, needed to be merged with other techniques. With the level of techniques he had fused so far, he still fell far short of the Emperor level.
"Elder Brother Lin Feng, let’s go over and have a look!" Hong Qingxuan’s gaze shifted to the mountains not far away.
"Mhm!"
Afterwards, the two of them moved and swiftly flew over.
Upon reaching the mountains, Lin Feng finally saw that the place was densely packed with tens of thousands of Martial Artists.
Tens of thousands of Martial Artists gathered under an immense rock wall, all of them staring intently at the wall, as if they were all waiting for something.
The Martial Artists’ cultivation was very high, with most at the Heavenly Martial Master Fifth and Sixth Layer, while those of the Eighth and Ninth Layer were not few. There were even a few Martial Artists from the True Xuan Realm.
In the crowd, Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan undoubtedly had the lowest cultivation.
Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan were puzzled and did not know what everyone was waiting for. Could it be that the entrance to the ruins was on this rock wall?
"Brother, is the entrance to the ruins here?" Lin Feng asked a tall, thin young man with a cultivation of Heavenly Martial Master Fifth Layer.
The tall, thin young man glanced at Lin Feng and said indifferently, "Yes, it’s on this rock wall."
"Oh?"
Lin Feng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this and he carefully examined the rock wall in front of him, but he did not find anything unusual; it was just an ordinary rock wall.
Lin Feng was even more perplexed!
"Then why can’t I see the entrance?" Lin Feng asked again.
"You, a Martial Master Fourth Layer, if you could see the entrance, wouldn’t that be something?"
The tall, thin young man sneered with disdain, but he still informed Lin Feng, "The entrance is above the rock wall. It appears every hour and only shows for the duration of a breath before it disappears."
"I see!"
Lin Feng suddenly understood and then asked, "How long has it been since it last appeared?"
The tall, slender youth’s face showed a trace of impatience as he coldly said, "Half an hour has passed, stop asking and just wait patiently!"
"Thank you!" Lin Feng did not get angry and thanked the other person.
"Qingxuan, there’s half an hour left, let’s keep waiting," Lin Feng said to the Hong Qingxuan beside him.
"Mm!" Hong Qingxuan gave a slight nod of her head, having also heard the tall, slender youth’s words.
Lin Feng looked around and found an unoccupied spot at the back, where he sat cross-legged. With half an hour until the entrance to the relic appeared, he now planned to check the spoils of war from his last battle.
It had been three days since he got the Storage Rings of Xue Tianhao and the Elder of the Hundred Beasts, and he hadn’t had time to see what riches and treasures they contained!
Just after Lin Feng sat down cross-legged, Hong Qingxuan also came over and sat beside him.
Looking at her body’s trembling Vigorous Origin Shield, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Qingxuan, why don’t you come inside my shield? That way, you can rest for a while and replenish your energy."
Hong Qingxuan was taken aback at his words, and her delicate cheeks quickly turned red. However, because of the great water pressure, her face was already quite red, and others couldn’t really tell.
"This... this doesn’t seem appropriate?" Hong Qingxuan hesitated. Lin Feng’s Vigorous Origin Qi Shield wasn’t very large, and if she were to enter as well, physical contact between the two of them would be inevitable.
Of course, Lin Feng could expand the Vigorous Origin Shield, but the larger the shield, the greater the consumption, and the weaker the defensive power.
"No worries, just come closer to me!" Lin Feng smiled and immediately started to contract his own Vigorous Origin Qi Shield.
Hong Qingxuan lightly bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and then shyly nodded her head.
Then, Hong Qingxuan stood up and drastically shrank her own Vigorous Origin Qi Shield before stepping close to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and then suddenly stimulated his Vigorous Origin within his body. The Qi Shield around him immediately expanded and swiftly enveloped Hong Qingxuan inside.
This move was actually quite dangerous; a single misstep might cause their Qi Shields to shatter completely. However, Lin Feng’s strength was considerable, so there wasn’t much risk.
After Hong Qingxuan entered Lin Feng’s Vigorous Origin Shield, she took a deep breath and then sat down cross-legged beside him.
In the small space of the Vigorous Origin Qi Shield, they sat shoulder to shoulder, their shoulders already pressing tightly against each other. They could both smell the breath of the other, and an inexplicable throbbing simultaneously appeared in their hearts.
Lin Feng felt the warmth coming from his shoulder and inhaled the faint elegant fragrance drifting into his nostrils. Ripples unavoidably stirred in his heart.
Hong Qingxuan was very beautiful, like an ethereal fairy, capable of moving any man’s heart, including Lin Feng’s.
However, Lin Feng still tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart. He didn’t have time for love and romance right now.
Lin Feng slowly calmed the ripples in his heart and then a Storage Ring appeared in his hand, which he began to look through.
This Storage Ring belonged to Xue Tianhao. Lin Feng’s mind dived into it, carefully searching through its contents.
Spirit Sword!
Lin Feng immediately saw the half-destroyed Spirit Sword lying quietly in a corner of the Storage Space, his heart leaping with joy at the sight of this treasure!
If used well, this Spirit Sword could become one of his powerful weapons.
However, Lin Feng didn’t know anything about this kind of Spirit Sword at the moment, so it was unusable. He would have to study it carefully when he had more time.
Then Lin Feng continued to examine the other items. Xue Tianhao’s Spirit Stones were quite numerous, amounting to about three million Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
Besides the Spirit Stones, the entire Storage Space contained only two sets of gauntlets, three Jade Scrolls, several bottles of Elixirs, and some miscellaneous items.
Both sets of gauntlets were Level Five Middle Grade Weapons, and the three Jade Scrolls were Martial Arts Secret Books. One of them was a Level Six Low Grade Cultivation Technique, and the other two were Level Five Low Grade Martial Techniques.
All the items combined were worth far more than those three million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and Lin Feng was inwardly delighted. With these Spirit Stones and treasures, he wouldn’t need to worry about Spirit Stones for a while.
As long as he stabilized his Cultivation and condensed his Vigorous Origin to a certain extent, he would be able to assimilate them once more.
Next, Lin Feng began to check the Storage Ring of the Elder of the Hundred Beasts. Upon looking through it, his heart surged with excitement again. As expected from a high-level True Xuan Realm expert, his wealth was in no way inferior to Xue Tianhao’s.
The Elder’s Storage Ring contained an enormous quantity of Middle Grade Spirit Stones, reaching a total of six million. In addition to this, there were various weapons and Martial Arts Secret Books of Level Five, totaling up to twenty-six items. These items’ value would surely be enough to purchase a Spirit Sword. Of course, the Elder clearly also considered the Spirit Sword too valuable, hence giving up the competition for it in the end.
