Yinshan Record

Chapter 242 Natural Prison
To be honest, looking at the calm lake below, Su Che couldn't see any defensive measures that Yuyang Mountain had set up here.

However, the three mountain peaks hanging overhead and the tranquil creatures beneath the Yin Pool precisely illustrate that this place is extraordinary.

The tranquility here is a good indication of the temperament of the "old man" who is in charge of guarding this place.

"Are you very familiar with that person, senior?"

Su Che lowered his voice and asked.

Do you think I'm the kind of person who knows a lot of people? It's just that I'm more familiar with him.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King said irritably.

Su Che felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

It makes sense, really. This person, who has imprisoned himself in the Yin-Yang realm and shut himself in to call himself king, has been out of touch with worldly affairs for a long time. The fact that he received a "relatively familiar" evaluation from the Yin-Yang Dharma King means he must not be an ordinary person from this realm.

"Once we get here, we're already within the vigilance range of those people above."

With a leap, the Yin-Yang Dharma King plunged into the underground Yin Pool.

The guardians of the Hundred Ghosts Cave are not the same kind of people as those on Jade Sun Mountain above.

Logically speaking, such a crucial place should be guarded by important figures from the sect to ensure safety. How could it be fooled by such a simple yellow talisman?
Su Che listened to the Yin-Yang Dharma King's words with some curiosity and unfolded the yellow talisman that the king had given him.

There was nothing special about it, except that the words "peace" were written crookedly.

This can't even be considered a talisman.

However, since the Yin-Yang Dharma King had said so, Su Che stopped thinking about it and followed the Yin-Yang Dharma King as he leaped out.

Upon entering the lake formed by the condensation of yin energy, Su Che was initially cautious, trying to avoid being frostbitten by the cold.

However, the interior of this Yin Pool was not as cold as the outside. If there was anything strange about it, it was that the water in this Yin Pool seemed to have a suction force, constantly pulling Su Che towards the bottom of the lake.

Su Che didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a characteristic of the Yin Pool. But then a thought flashed through his mind, and he wanted to try moving upwards.

However, once the magic power was released, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, having no effect on the surrounding yin water, but instead increasing the suction force coming from below.

Su Che was originally following behind the Yin Yang Dharma King, but after some commotion, he actually ended up in front of the Yin Yang Dharma King.

"Although you can use your magic, don't try it recklessly." The voice of the Yin-Yang Dharma King came from behind: "A large amount of Yin energy has accumulated in this Yin Cave. In addition, with the preparations made by Yu Yang Mountain over the years, the water formed by this Yin energy has long since acquired properties similar to Weak Water. Even a goose feather cannot float on it; you will sink deeper and deeper."

No wonder Yu Yang Mountain used this place as a prison. This Yin Pool of the Yellow Springs, due to its very nature, is practically the best shackles; no amount of magic can have any effect on it. Add to that the ever-increasing suction, and who could possibly escape from it?

The creatures in the water, resembling dragons and snakes, seemed quite timid. Upon seeing Su Che and the Yin-Yang Dharma King fall, they all kept their distance, making the journey relatively peaceful.

"This thing is called Azure Nether Mayfly. It is a kind of ghost beast that likes to capture yin energy. I used to raise a group of them in the Yin-Yang realm."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King sighed with emotion: "However, this thing prefers pure Yin energy. Only the Hundred Ghosts Yin Cave could have grown to such a scale."

Su Che followed the current and finally stood firm at the bottom of the Yin Pool. Looking up, the water of the Yin Pool above him was like a glass curtain, through which he could see layers of mist.

Su Che walked a few steps underwater and found that the suction force seemed to have disappeared, and his magic power could be used freely. However, if he wanted to go up, his magic power was useless, and the suction force would rise again.

"Senior, could it be that the Weak Water can devour magical power?"

Su Che looked up at the sky and asked.

"It's not that magical," the Yin-Yang Dharma King replied. "If it could absorb magical power, wouldn't it be enough to forge an armor and create a few water bucket monsters to disgust the Immortal of Longevity to death?"

Su Che nodded repeatedly.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King, that old master, truly has a unique way of thinking; I hadn't thought of that at all. Oh, right.

He had already pronounced a judgment on Xuandu Palace: "It is difficult for a Yin spirit to attain sainthood after countless eons." He was probably pondering tips for defeating the Immortal of Longevity every day in the Yin-Yang Realm.

"For the physical body, the Weak Water has almost no weight, but if you want to use magic power to control it, you need great magic power." The Yin-Yang Dharma King explained, "The reason you feel that magic power is ineffective is because your cultivation is not yet up to par."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King waved his hand and said, "Little Su, the big gift for you is below."

As he spoke, he picked up a cave and crawled inside.

The cave at the bottom of the Yin Pool seems to be naturally formed, with no trace of human excavation. It is about two meters high, and in some places, four or five people can pass through, while in others, only one person can pass through sideways.

It looks like a huge maze.

"Can people really be trapped in a place like this?"

Su Che couldn't help but wonder. The Yin Pool above was certainly mysterious and unpredictable, but the stone walls surrounding this Yin Cave didn't seem to have any other special characteristics. Su Che felt that if someone had perseverance and a pickaxe, escaping might actually be possible.

“The technique used here is the orthodox Xuanmen method of creating solid ground from the earth. No escape techniques can be used. If you want to break through this thin stone cave…” Yin Yang Dharma King tapped the wall beside him with his finger.

"The earth's energy here is connected to the three Jade Sun Mountains above by an array. Only by using magic power that can move those three mountains together can it be broken."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che and said, "Do you think a master capable of blasting open the Jade Yang Three Mountains would be trapped here?"

How do we get out?

Su Che thought for a moment but still didn't ask. Since the Yin-Yang Dharma King dared to bring him down, he must have a way to leave.

As the passage gradually widened, the Yin-Yang Dharma King narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke to Su Che beside him.

"arrive."

The two continued forward, only to find themselves in a completely different world.

Indeed, it was a hidden world, an extremely vast underground realm. A bright blue sun hung high overhead, radiating light, and mushrooms grew upwards all around.

A cold wind swirled around Su Che, and a huge millipede with crimson armor walked past him, wagging its tail.

Not far away, several crows with white-rimmed eyes landed on the mushroom caps, splashing up a thick fog, and squawked noisily.

Su Che stepped on the ground with a crisp sound. Looking down, he realized that the ground beneath him was covered with white bones. Although the bones were still barely recognizable due to the passage of time, they had long since decayed.

"Be careful, everything here is poisonous."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King patted Su Che on the shoulder.

"Senior, is this the place you were talking about?"

Su Che was a little confused.

"Be careful."

A white light suddenly appeared from not far away and rushed over as fast as lightning.

Su Che immediately activated the Yin Spring Nine Bends, which generated layers of eerie light to block the attack.

A zombie covered in white fur roared out, its claws flashing with white light as it charged toward Su Che.
