Chapter 45 Mysterious Cave

Shi Chen's figure loomed in the hazy mist. He slowly practiced his Qigong to sense his surroundings, but found no trace of spiritual energy related to the Five Elements. Helplessly, he tried to absorb some water vapor. He took a breath of the mist, and the tingling sensation spread through his nose and around his body.

He continued to practice, and after one week, he was overjoyed.

It turned out that this water mist was actually a collection of five elements of spiritual energy, which could be absorbed and refined. This was simply equivalent to spiritual energy atomization. Practicing in such an environment was no different from practicing by sitting on a spiritual spring. However, these five elements of spiritual energy were not chaotic, but arranged in a five-element counteraction pattern.

Shi Chen's five elements spiritual roots took effect. He was able to absorb and refine the water mist rich in the five elements spiritual energy, and the effect of his cultivation increased five times, which was really refreshing.

After practicing the exercise for one week and absorbing and refining the five elements of spiritual energy that have been absorbed into the body, the numbness in the body has gradually dissipated.

This is not a secret place, but it was just his guess for testing. If he wants to practice with peace of mind, he needs to find a more secret place.

It has been more than an hour and a half since he came in. The neighbor female cultivator should have entered the mist to look for him. The visibility is only ten feet, so it will take a long time for her to find Shi Chen.

A quarter of an hour later, the neighbor female cultivator found Shi Chen and discovered that Shi Chen was not unconscious. The two walked out of the mist together as agreed.

Back at the cave entrance, the neighboring female cultivator was puzzled but didn't dare to ask. Shi Chen had no choice but to explain that he was resistant to the toxicity of the mist and could stay in it for a longer time.

The neighbor female cultivator was skeptical but had no choice but to believe it.

The next day, Shi Chen entered the water mist alone. Looking at the white water mist around him, his sight could only reach a few feet away. He could only grope slowly and walk towards the Thousand Poison Pond, intending to check out the situation in the Thousand Poison Pond first.

On the way, we met several monks who were searching for spiritual objects in the mist. Some were walking back, while others were continuing to move forward. There was no communication between them.

In this water mist area, the monks are all aware that fighting will accelerate the invasion of water mist into the body, so they will not fight each other.

Soon, Shi Chen arrived at the Thousand Poison Pond. The water was clear and calm, and mist drifted from the surface. Many monks were rummaging through shells and mud, hoping to find a Five Elements Pearl.

After walking along the lake for three quarters of an hour, the number of monks became fewer and fewer. After another quarter of an hour, there were no more monks here.

He reached into the water and tested his Qi, only to discover that the water contained less Five Elements Spiritual Qi than the mist. After nearly an hour in the mist, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He quickly sought a place to practice, or else he would pass out here too.

He left the pond and sought a dense forest. Seeing no trace of cultivators, he sat down and began to cultivate. After a full cycle, an hour had passed, and the numbness in his body had dissipated.

Shi Chen took out the monster skin and examined it. It was obvious that the direction it indicated was the bottom of the Thousand Poison Pond.

Standing by the pond, after thinking it over again and again, Shi Chen did not go into the water. He decided to go back first and enter the pond again tomorrow to look for the hidden treasure.

On his way back, in less than a moment, he saw a person lying on the edge of the grass. When he saw the face clearly, he was only half a meter away from the person.

This person turned out to be the Qi-cultivating master who had intercepted him three days after the boat crash. By this time, the master was already unconscious, and it was unknown how long he had been there. Shi Chen looked at the well-proportioned master in black robes and purple belt, and began to struggle with whether to rescue him.

After thinking about it, Shi Chen felt that since they met, it was fate, and they had met three times.

The first time he followed the flying boat, this cultivator flew away first; the second time he was intercepted by him; today was the third time they met.

He must have been under the influence of the Thousand Poison Pond mist and had been unconscious for who knows how long. Just treat it as a good deed for once, and hope good things come to those who do good.

When Shi Chen carried the monk on his back, he felt something strange. He met another female monk in disguise.

After returning to the rented cave, Shi Chen looked at the unconscious disguised female cultivator with no thoughts. Her cultivation had reached the perfection of Qi Refining, and she posed a great threat to him. If she woke up and acted recklessly, she could kill him with a few spells.

In the world of monks, without the backing of cultivation, all actions may be life-threatening.

The next day, Shi Chen went to the pawnshop to extend the cave's lease to a year. Upon returning to the cave, he left a letter explaining how he had encountered the unconscious monk while searching for spiritual objects in the mist of the Thousand Poison Pond and had kindly helped him out. He also informed the cave owner that he had already paid a year's rent and that if the monk woke up, he could leave immediately.

Shi Chen once again arrived at the Thousand Poison Pond, found a deserted spot, and began to dive. The water grew darker as he went deeper. There were aquatic plants, fish, and shrimp in the pond. The water-avoidance technique enveloped Shi Chen, and he slowly sank. After sinking about ten feet, the surroundings were so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. He looked around, and when he saw no one was around, he took out the monster skin.

The two bright spots were very close to each other, and a faint light was emitted from the monster's skin.

He continued diving a dozen feet deeper. He took out the monster skin, and the faint light allowed him to see the surrounding rocks, water plants, and some swimming fish. Looking towards the water cave below, he seemed to be faintly seeing a light coming from it.

Holding the monster hide, Shi Chen followed the instructions on the hide and descended to a cave entrance in the rock face. The cave glowed faintly, a barrier of water. He retracted the hide, and the barrier vanished, extinguishing the faint glow. The surroundings instantly became dark, and he cast a light spell.

The cave was only ten feet deep, its walls smooth and empty. He took out the monster skin, and a water barrier appeared at the entrance. He reached through the barrier, finding no water inside. Holding the monster skin in hand, Shi Chen entered the barrier, revealing a white jade passage.

After Shi Chen entered the waterproof membrane, a beam of bright light shone out from the Thousand Poison Pond, passed through the mist, reached the sky, and then dissipated in just a moment.

Many cultivators near the Thousand Poison Pond and those on their way to the Pond witnessed this scene, and the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The cultivators in the Thousand Poison Pond and the Poison Pond Immortal City all began to rush to the Thousand Poison Pond. It was a chance! After a thousand years, the Thousand Poison Pond once again showed signs of a treasure opportunity.

The mayor of the Poison Pond Immortal City stopped his retreat immediately and flew over the Thousand Poison Pond in less than ten breaths, feeling extremely excited.

Shi Chen was unaware of the changes in the Thousand Poison Pond. After entering the waterproof membrane, he retracted the animal skin waterproof membrane and it disappeared. The way in was no longer there. Behind the disappeared waterproof membrane was a wall of rocks, and a white jade passage stretched forward.

Shi Chen walked along the white jade passage for seventy or eighty feet before arriving at another world. At the end of the passage was a wide valley, with a cobblestone path flanked by magical flowers and herbs, and occasionally a fruit tree or two laden with fruit. The cobblestone path stretched into the distance, and a wooden house stood a few hundred feet away.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Chen walked along the cobblestone path to the cabin. In front of the cabin was a wooden sign with words engraved on it.

I am a traitor to the Five Elements Sect and feel guilty towards my ancestors... As long as I can leave behind the inheritance, I am willing to have my soul and spirit destroyed and not enter the cycle of reincarnation.

After reading the wooden sign, Shi Chen pondered for a long time. The wooden sign did not introduce the owner of this place, but it told a story and anecdotes about a sect called the Five Elements Sect.

Ten thousand years ago, the Five Elements Sect was on the verge of collapse, and the ignition was the master of this place. Back then, his cultivation had already reached the fusion stage, but something happened that caused him to betray the sect. Ultimately, because of this incident, the sect was besieged and destroyed by several major sects.

It describes how he was jealous of the young master, who was clearly unlearned, yet because he was the young master's son, all opportunities and resources were directed towards Yu Chenzi. Yes, that Yu Chenzi, the same name as the cultivator on Earth who wanted to possess Shi Chen's body.

The cause of the incident was simple: when a person is constantly jealous, many small things can grow into something bigger. The fact that the Holy Maiden of the Xiaoyao Sect, whom he had admired for a century, had become a Taoist partner with the Young Sect Master, and that this was done under duress, was a blow no less devastating than the destruction of his Daoist aspirations.

The Five Elements Sect has dominated the world of cultivation for 30,000 years. Several major sects have been dissatisfied with this for a long time and could not find a reason to join forces. It was he who revealed to the Xiaoyao Sect the fact that Yu Chenzi and the Holy Maiden of the Xiaoyao Sect became a couple and gave birth to a boy. Then they joined forces with the Shenzhou Sect, the Shenying Sect, the Tianji Sect, the Zixiao Sect, the Daoxiang Sect and the Wanmo Sect to besiege the Five Elements Sect.

The leader banished Yu Chenzi from the sect and killed the Xiaoyao Sect's Saintess and the male offspring she had given birth to. The two sects and five schools united and finally fought a great battle with the Five Elements Sect. The sky and the earth went dark, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The Five Elements Sect's leader collapsed, and the Five Elements Sect was destroyed. Only one in ten of the other sects survived. The mountains were closed and the roads were locked, and the Five Sects no longer existed.

The owner of this place was also seriously injured in the battle and left behind a cave inheritance in Shenlongtan. He arranged a large formation that rebelled against the five elements and spread out hundreds of five-element dragon skins, waiting for the right person.

At this point, the landscape of the cultivation world has undergone tremendous changes. Things and people have changed, and 30,000 years have passed in a hurry.

Shi Chen is just one of the destined people. This cave has existed for 30,000 years and it still exists. The power of the anti-five elements formation is beyond Shi Chen's cognition.

Shi Chen stood there quietly, his heart swirling with emotion about the right and wrong of the people 30,000 years ago. Those ancient images kept resurfacing in his mind. They, like us today, had their own dreams and pursuits, their own loves and hates, their joys and pains. He wondered what struggles and choices they had endured 30,000 years ago to reach their current fate. Their stories were so complex and twisted that he couldn't help but be moved.

Shi Chen took a deep breath, his heart filled with awe for history and pity for those people. He knew that these emotions would be etched in his heart forever.

The torrent of time has ruthlessly submerged everything, leaving only these stories for future generations to pursue and ponder. He realized that historical events are a mirror that allows us to see the rise and fall of the past, and also makes us cherish the present life more.

These feelings will be forever engraved in his heart and become precious wealth in his life.
