It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

Shortly after Cheng Shuyan entered the crack, a five-member team also arrived.

Looking at the riverbed in front of them without any spiritual energy fluctuations, several people stared at each other and began to doubt the information in their hands.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you sure this is the place?" A big man with thick eyebrows in the team lost his patience first and asked another thin man.

Upon hearing this, the man immediately became anxious and hurriedly took out a jade slip and handed it to the big man: "How could it be fake? I bought this jade slip at a high price from a good friend who I visited the Forest of No Return last time.

He also entered this place accidentally, but unfortunately the rock-splitting beast guarding below was too powerful for him to defeat alone, and he couldn't find other people to form a team for a while, so he missed the opportunity!

If it weren't for the fact that each person can only enter the Forest of No Return once, how could he possibly miss such an opportunity? "

The big man took the jade slip, immersed his spiritual consciousness into it and carefully examined it, confirming that the location recorded in the jade slip was indeed this place, and then handed the jade slip to others.

"Could it be that your good friend remembered it wrongly?" After reading the jade slip, the older female cultivator in the team asked hesitantly.

"Hmph, what do you mean by misremembering? I think we were just deceived!" Another male cultivator said with a very ugly expression and full of anger.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, don't be angry for now. Let's listen to what Brother Li has to say."

The prettier female cultivator in the team saw that the male cultivator named Zhao was angry, and with a glance, she tried to persuade him.

As soon as she spoke, the man surnamed Zhao's expression looked much better. Although he snorted coldly, he didn't get angry anymore.

"My fellow Daoists, I do trust my good friend. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked my entire fortune on this information! But as he said, there was water flowing here the last time I came, and the crack was also hidden underwater.

When we came here this time, the rivers had dried up and the cracks were exposed. Maybe... it's because of that thing down there!"

When the thick-browed man heard the explanation given by the cultivator surnamed Li, he immediately speculated with great excitement:

"I think what Fellow Daoist Li said makes sense. I'm afraid that thing down there has sucked up all the spiritual energy in the vicinity. If that's the case, then this is truly the great opportunity we've been waiting for!"

"There's no point in saying more. Brothers, Sister Zhang, since we're all here, why don't we just go down and take a look?"

……

On the other side, after Cheng Shuyan entered the unsealed state, she flew down with the wind for nearly half an hour before reaching the bottom.

From the outside, the crack looked only one person wide and two or three meters long, but after she jumped down, the crack became larger and larger as she went deeper, gradually taking the shape of an inverted funnel.

It wasn't until she stood at the bottom of the tiankeng that she realized it was much larger than she had imagined.

She was in a huge cave, with water dripping from the surrounding stone walls, making the cave seem less quiet.

There were intricate passages all around. She sent out her spiritual sense to explore them. Most of them did not extend far and reached the end. Only a few of them could not reach the end.

Perhaps this cave was very close to the place that Seventeen sensed, or perhaps the smell of the thing that attracted it was too strong here, so it could no longer accurately give Cheng Shuyan a direction.

She marked one of the holes and went straight into it.

At first, the two sides of the passage were just like stones. As she went deeper and deeper, she found that raw spiritual ore appeared on the stone walls of the passage.

However, these original stones have lost all their spiritual energy, leaving only waste stones embedded in the stone wall.

Logically speaking, after the spiritual ore raw stone is formed over a long period of time, unless there is an external force that absorbs its spiritual energy, it will not become waste rock like this in the vein.

Could it be that there is some existence in these mine tunnels that has absorbed all the spiritual energy in this spirit stone mine?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was probably the case. In this case, she had to be extremely alert.

Natural treasures must be guarded by living beings. There might be some powerful spiritual beasts here.

She held the Blazing Sword in her hand, and her consciousness spread outward, paying close attention to every movement around her.

The sound of dripping water in the cave was transmitted intermittently into the passage. Apart from that, the only sound was the sound of her own walking.

Not long after she walked into the passage, it became narrower and narrower until it could no longer accommodate her. After she probed her spiritual sense into it, she found that the passage had also reached its end, so she had to withdraw and continue exploring other passages.

Until entering the third passage, this passage is not as flat as the previous two. Instead, it goes all the way down, as if going straight into the center of the earth.

Gradually, a heavy feeling of oppression came over my body, and the range of my spiritual consciousness was slowly compressed.

As she went further down, the feeling of oppression became more and more severe, as if she was stuck in a quagmire and could only move forward with difficulty.

It seems that this time, she chose the right path.

Although the feeling of oppression on her body was getting heavier, she moved forward step by step.

Seventeen has been taken back to the space by her. Chengfeng and Wenxue are reluctant to go back. They both expressed their desire to practice in this environment to her.

Cheng Shuyan could feel that although this feeling of oppression was very uncomfortable, it did have a significant effect on physical training, so she agreed to leave Chengfeng and Wenxue outside.

Her steps became increasingly difficult, and the pain in her body became more and more severe, as if her body was being constantly squeezed.

Gradually, blood began to seep out of Cheng Shuyan's body, and her skin began to crack bit by bit. The pain, which was like being tortured to death, almost made her want to retreat.

But she still endured it.

The path to becoming an immortal is filled with numerous difficulties and obstacles. If you don’t move forward, you will regress.

If she takes a step back today, she will take countless more steps back in the future.

Therefore, as long as her life is not in danger, she has to continue on this path today.

Cheng Shuyan took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and mobilized the wood spiritual power in his body to continuously repair the scars on his body.

So, under the pressure of this mysterious force, her body cracked bit by bit, and then was repaired by her own spiritual power, and then the process of cracking and repairing was repeated again.

Gradually, the pressure became greater and greater, but the speed at which her body cracked became slower and slower. Under constant training, her body strength had slowly caught up with this destructive force.

Cheng Shuyan was already sweating profusely, and her pale blue robes were stained red with blood, but she seemed not to notice.

She only had one thought left, which was to finish this journey.

Cheng Shuyan felt as if she had entered a strange state, and her past events gradually flashed through her mind.

When she met Xie Jingxiu, they were deeply in love as teenagers, but their families were broken up and they died on their wedding night.

From the time she killed Cheng Dani's parents to the time Wuwei Zhenren accepted her as his disciple.

From the beast tide to her being captured by Chu Yi and then successfully building her foundation.

All of this turned into the same thought - there was no turning back.
