Qin Wushuang only felt his body sinking. This feeling was equivalent to the feeling of dropping into an endless hole.
The thing that he felt was even more strange was that the internal injuries he had suffered was regenerating at an extraordinary speed. His entire body seemed to have been surrounded by a piece of soft jade that gave him incredible comfort. He felt that he was not dropping into a bottomless abyss, but more like enjoying a hot spring.
It was not the first time he had experienced this feeling. Qin Wushuang had gotten injured many times. However, this time he had received his most severe injuries yet and the one that caused him to feel the most desperate.
However, his body still exuded a strong vital energy. That demonic regeneration ability had again, performed its task in his body.
He remembered the battle with Senior Brother Wei Yi in which he had decided to trade attacks. As a result, he had been hit by Wei Yi’s palm. However, he had gradually grasped the battle situation by relying on his regeneration ability.
“Only, no matter how powerful this regeneration ability is, could it prevent me from dying from falling into this deep abyss?” Inwardly, Qin Wushuang laughed bitterly.
At this time, Qin Wushuang felt a wave of strange power that held him. It was as if a wave of strange air current had suddenly supported him from below.
Although this wave of air wave seemed urgent, it had become extremely soft after it made contact with Qin Wushuang’s body. It seemed to have been customized for Qin Wushuang that displayed traces of familiarity with him.
Qin Wushuang was slightly surprised. He could clearly feel that this wave of power was incredibly familiar!
It was that five rays of light he had seen from the Great Cang Mountains. It was also the power that had baptised him outside that cave under the sheer cliff.
Although it was in a different place and area, the origin of the power was the same.
Currently, Qin Wushuang’s body was enveloped in this familiar feeling and regenerating. It was the same power he had experienced from before.
Qin Wushuang only felt like he was in a dream. Everywhere he looked were those five colored celestial rays of lights. The combination of these five rays of lights was like a giant five-colored lotus, and wrapped within the bud was Qin Wushuang.
Everything about the experience gave off a sense of familiarity and friendliness. Only, he was experiencing it all over.
Finally, Qin Wushuang felt the rays of lights withdraw. And his body had touched the ground.
Whoosh!
Qin Wushuang felt lucky after escaping from certain death. When he opened his eyes, he was dumbfounded at what he was seeing!
He had discovered that the place he was in was extremely recognisable.
Isn’t this the cave located deep inside the sheer cliffs of the Great Cang Mountains?
Qin Wushuang estimated that at least, there was tens of thousands of miles distance from the Green Jade Mountain to the Great Cang.
His fall had sent him this far?
Or perhaps, he was in some illusion and the reality was not what it seemed?
Qin Wushuang stood up and looked around. Yet, he realized that he was indeed, in that cave inside the Great Cang Mountains.
Qin Wushuang had come to this place more than once and had a deep impression of it. Naturally, he would not have mistook it.
“How did this happen?” Qin Wushuang could not understand.
“Could it be that deep pit inside the cave of the Green Jade Mountain is a transportation circle?” Qin Wushuang had never felt so confused as the present. His brain was in a chaotic state.
After that battle in the Green Jade Mountain, it made Qin Wushuang realize that in the Tian Xuan Land, there were no absolute powers. Danger and crisis could happen at anytime.
Thinking back, after entering that cave, it was not due to his lack of power that he could not resist those four powerful Middle Stage warriors. On the contrary, he could not unleash his full power in that narrow space.
While Qin Wushuang felt fortunate to have survived this disaster, more thoughts emerged in his head.
“I wonder whether Senior Brother Wei Yi escaped the Green Jade Mountain?” Qin Wushuang could not help but care for those disciples from the Stargaze Palace.
He remembered how his short three whistles sounded extremely sharp and hurried. If they had heard it, they should have realized everything.
“With Senior Brother Wei Yi’s intelligence, he should know what to do, right?” Qin Wushuang comforted himself. He sincerely wished with his heart that his fellow disciples did not rush into the cave after him.
Or else, the consequences would be severe.
Only, Qin Wushuang didn’t know that after the transportation circle had been activated, the powerful movements of the spiritual Qi had turned the entire Green Jade Mountain into a flat land.
If Wei Yi and the others had not escaped quickly, most likely they would have become funerary objects.
Qin Wushuang collected his thoughts and started to walk around in the cave. When he had come here the few times previously, he had always come and left in rush. Plus with his lack of skills and stage, he could only sense a trace of the mysteries inside this cave. He had only glanced around and did some light searching.
This time, he decided to thoroughly investigate this mysterious cave.
Currently, Qin Wushuang knew better than anyone that his strong regeneration ability and how he was able to escape death was connected with this mysterious cave.
It could be said that this cave, the Great Cang Mountains, had made Qin Wushuang successful.
Qin Wushuang had always viewed the Great Cang Mountains as his mother. He carried a deep fondness and a rich feeling toward it. And indeed, the Great Cang Mountains had nurtured him, helped him to achieve accomplishments, and gave him plenty in return.
“That transportation circle had really transported me from the Green Jade to the Great Cang. This is so strange. It was definitely not some ordinary powerful warrior that made the transportation circle. In the end, what other secrets are inside this transportation circle?” Qin Wushuang believed that since someone extremely powerful had made this circle, it’s use would be more than just connecting two places.
“For sure, there is more to it.” Qin Wushuang opened his spiritual presence and started to search.
This cave was much bigger than that cave in the Green Jade Mountain. Its size was comparable to the royal courtyard of the Bai Yue Country. Like the circuitous underground garden, this cave had high and low places that would make one feeling overwhelmed.
Qin Wushuang did not ignore a single corner. Finally, he locked his senses on that middle area inside the cave. He could feel the subtle movements of the spiritual Qi from that area.
After some investigation, Qin Wushuang felt that giant natural green stone seemed suspicious. From afar, that giant green stone had a unique appearance like a cowering tiger. The strange stripes on the body looked like dots of a tadpole.
Qin Wushuang walked closer and started to pour his spiritual Qi into this stone. He wanted to see whether or not this green stone would give some reaction. Surely enough, that green stone emitted strange lights. It was those five colored rays of lights.
The balls of light swayed unpredictably like the flickering of the candle flame.
When Qin Wushuang saw this scene, he immediately understood that because of his lesser spiritual Qi, the spiritual presence that emerged was not strong either. Thus, he started to initiate it again.
In a moment, life seemed to have poured into that giant green stone as brilliant rays of light emerged.
“Congratulations, lucky one, you have finally ignited my soul of light.” An aged voice emerged from that giant green stone.
Qin Wushuang was dumbstruck as he looked at that giant green stone with disbelief. He could not understand, how could a stone speak the language of human beings?”
“Don’t feel any doubt, I have attached my soul to this stone and it can only speak once. You have been able to activate my soul of fire, it means you have already activated the two basic requirements. Firstly, the celestial light of baptism outside the cave entrance. Secondly, the transportation circle in the Green Jade Mountain. Without fulfilling any of these two conditions, it’s impossible for you to activate this task and you would also not be able to activate my soul of light. It was because the restriction I had set here needs the combination of those soul of lights from the two conditions to open.”
After a moment of blanking out, Qin Wushuang regained his senses. Finally, he was sure that he had met an enormous fortuitous opportunity!
And this enormous fortuitous opportunity was closely linked with each other. Without any of the conditions, he would not have been able to activate it. He had already finished that baptism outside the cave. However, at that time, he had not passed through the transportation circle in the Green Jade Mountain. Since he lacked one of the conditions, naturally, he could not detect the strangeness in this place.
Currently, Qin Wushuang was deeply impressed by this elite senior who had created this prohibition. These two conditions were like two keys. Without either of them, he would not have been able to activate it.
“Lucky one, you are already extremely lucky to get to this point. This is the second loop of my Seven Deadly Formation Arrays. Since you have passed the first loop, you are the unique and unmatched lucky one. It is because the first loop was set at the Green Jade Mountain and only one person could go into the transportation circle. Once you had entered the circle, all the prohibition outside the spiritual formation was activated to level the entire Green Jade Mountain into a flat land, ha ha ha.”
This aged voice carried a trace of mocking, ridicule, and even some hints of mischief.
To level the mountain to the ground? Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was shocked. This way, when he had dropped in the cave, the Green Jade Mountain had been destroyed? What about those people from the Heavenly Lake Empire? And his fellow disciples? Could it be…
When Qin Wushuang thought here, he didn’t know whether he should be happy or worried.
“Do not think that it was an act of brutality. To move along the natural law, there must be losses and gains. Everything is determined. To have this tremendous fortuitous opportunity, we needed to have people as funerary objects. Or else, it would not make sense to just have the benefits. Since the ancient times, those who had acquired a fortuitous opportunity and who had left a legacy were all built on the lives of tens of thousands of people. Since you wanted to enter my Seven Deadly Formation Arrays and seize this opportunity, you must have the resolve to die.”
The tone of this person had a trace of coldness and authority. It seemed that to him, human lives were no different than grasses.
“Ha ha, you are the lucky one, don’t worry about these matters. The Green Jade Mountain will be destroyed after the initiation of the first loop. Thus, the Seven Deadly Formation Arrays is now your personal territory. Now, you are at the second loop, there is the third, the fourth loop…up to the seventh!”
Qin Wushuang felt a rush of excitement. This second loop had given him such a fortuitous opportunity. Then, what sort of opportunity awaited him at the seventh loop?
Qin Wushuang looked forward to it.
