Creation of the Universe

This person probably wanted to explore the cave, so he sneaked in, but unexpectedly died here.

He was tightly entangled by vines and couldn't move, and there was no one around to help him escape. It was obvious that he was alone and slowly waiting to die in the dark cave, unable to do anything at all.

It is really hard to imagine how much psychological torture this person endured when he was dying.

When Shen Zhan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy, but he also felt that coming to spy on other people's forbidden areas was not a fair thing to do, so this result was also his own fault.

Just as I thought of this, a blue flame blood-winged insect above my head suddenly started spinning rapidly, as if it was excited about finding food, and at the same time it was also conveying the news to its companions.

Shen Zhan immediately drew attention and looked up at the top of the cave. He found that it was densely covered with countless talismans.

The yellow-brown talismans filled with spells looked like a dragon clinging to the top of the cave, watching over any intruders who dared to set foot in the Dragon Bone Cave without permission. Shen Zhan just stared at it for a moment and felt dizzy.

"Oh no, is this talisman some kind of formation? It's so oppressive..."

Shen Zhan immediately used his spiritual power to resist, and only then did he feel slightly better. However, if he continued to move forward, the dragon talisman on the top of the cave would always hang over his head, as if a sharp sword was hanging over his head, making him feel uneasy.

There was no time to take care of so many things at the moment, so Shen Zhan decided to continue searching. Judging from the current situation, the disciple of Shangxuan Sect might be in great danger.

He continued to walk forward. The sound of dripping water began to be heard in front of him. The cave became more and more humid, but there was still no end in sight, as if this deep mountain cave was endless.

“Boring…Boring…Boring…”

A few clear sounds of metal clashing came clearly into Shen Zhan's ears.

He felt that there should be a more spacious space ahead, which was probably the end of the cave. However, his blue-flame blood-winged insects had not yet spread their light to that location, so he did not notice it.

Shen Zhan quickened his pace and approached. After a while, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear. A huge cave suddenly appeared. At the same time, two other figures were constantly intertwining and fighting at an extremely fast speed.

There are other people here?

Shen Zhan's first reaction was to step forward and find out what was going on. This was clearly the forbidden area of ​​Shangxuan Sect, yet why was it so lively?

Could it be that tonight, everyone is going to come in here and try their luck?

However, Shen Zhan soon noticed that the two figures were not living people, but afterimages created by two spiritual powers fighting with each other.

One of them was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing the robes of Xuanzong, and the other was a young man dressed in black, full of hostility, obviously from the Demon Sect.

Shen Zhan guessed that the two men must have entered the Dragon Bone Cave for a long time. As for where their real bodies were and how long they had been fighting here, he had no idea.

Their attacks were extremely fierce, and they all used very high-level skills. Therefore, even if it was just an afterimage formed by spiritual power, one could feel how deep their cultivation was.

Shen Zhan didn't want to cause any trouble, so he bypassed the area where the two afterimages were fighting. He continued to explore along the wall of the cave, and then he found a person lying on the ground. When he walked over, he found that it was the young Taoist boy he had seen yesterday.

The Taoist boy had already stopped breathing, and there were no fatal wounds on his body. It seemed as if something had hit his forehead, and it was not certain whether he had been hit by some kind of formation mechanism.

Shen Zhan looked up and around. The bottom of the cave was clearly visible, but he found nothing. He was really doubtful whether there were real dragon skeletons or some other secrets hidden in the cave.

He didn't have much interest in continuing to explore, so he carried the Taoist boy's body on his shoulders and quickly retreated towards the cave entrance.

However, just when Shen Zhan thought he could get out smoothly, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking his way.

There is only one path in the Dragon Bone Cave, and you can return to the same place as you came. It is impossible to go to the wrong place, so the barrier that appeared in front of him was obviously tampered with by someone after he entered.

"Could it be that those two deliberately deceived me?"

Shen Zhan tried to use his spiritual power to break the barrier, but found that the power contained in it was extremely strong and could not be easily broken.

As the two forces collided, obvious vibrations began to occur in the cave, but even so, Shen Zhan still failed. It seemed that things were not that simple.

"Master Shen, don't bother. I've set up a magic circle at the entrance of the cave. No mortal body can pass through it. Unless I remove the magic circle for you, you'll have to stay in the cave forever."

The person talking outside the cave was Tieya, who had brought Shen Zhan here before.

Shen Zhan stared out of the cave and said calmly, "Aren't you Xu Qingzhao's junior apprentice? You tricked me here in the middle of the night. If your head apprentice knew about this, how would you explain it?"

"Yes, my name is Tieya, and I'm in charge of the Shangxuan Sect's Inner Gate Steward's Hall. The reason why I invited Master Shen here this time is also for a reason. It is necessary to do so.

Next, I hope Master Shen can throw out the object hidden in the Taoist boy's arms. Once I get it, I will naturally invite you out and apologize to you in person."

Tieya's words were very convincing, but to Shen Zhan, his words were worthless.

Just as Tieya said, he did find something in the Taoist boy's arms. It seemed ordinary at first glance, but when he held it in his palm and felt it carefully, he was shocked.

"This thing... is actually like this..."

Shen Zhan quietly put the item away and shouted outside, "I didn't find anything on the Taoist boy. If you don't believe me, come in and search for yourself."

Tieya sneered, "Master Shen, you're kidding! Do you think by delaying like this, you can wait for the headmaster to come and rescue you? He's in seclusion this time and won't be out for at least ten days or half a month. Most of the sect's affairs outside are decided by me, so don't hold on to unrealistic hopes. Only cooperation can earn you a way out."

"I see. Then please do as you please. I'm fine in this Dragon Bone Cave. Who knows, I might even find the secret hidden here."

Shen Zhan acted as if he would fight to the end and never compromise, which made Tieya outside the cave very angry.

"Well, then just stay in there. You'll figure it out in a few days."

Tieya turned and left, while Shen Zhan remained indifferent.

He didn't trust Tieya. Even if he handed over the things first, the other party might not really remove the formation. He had seen many such cunning tricks.
