The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Cave Mansion Palace [Third Update]

It seems there’s no choice but to enter this cave mansion!

Jing Yan briefly pondered, then nodded his head, agreeing to enter alongside the two men.

The entrance to the cave mansion was not hard to find.

If the killing array outside had not been broken before, then this entrance would not have been approachable, nor visible. But now that the killing array was destroyed, the entrance was laid bare.

It took merely a short dozen or so breaths of time before the cave mansion’s entrance was found.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, please enter first!” Gu Xinghe stood to one side and spoke to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan said nothing, walking straight towards the entrance.

Approaching the entrance, he felt a force of resistance emanating from inside out. However, this resistance was not very difficult for a Martial Artist in the Daoist Master Realm to withstand.

If it were a Martial Artist in the Dao Spirit Realm, then entering this entrance might prove somewhat difficult. Nevertheless, powerful Dao Spirit Realm Practitioners could still withstand the resistance and enter.

Jing Yan did have some understanding of Ancient Cave Mansions. Generally, these mansions were opened by extremely powerful warriors, forming a realm within themselves. It was said that only warriors in the Saint Realm could achieve this.

Above the Dao Emperor Realm, there’s the Saint Realm.

And now, on the Heavenly Origin Continent, Saint Realm Practitioners no longer existed. Even Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners were few in number. Therefore, currently, it was impossible for anyone on the Heavenly Origin Continent to open a cave mansion.

To open a cave mansion, one must meet one condition: the use of the Heaven and Earth Laws. Among all Martial Artists, only those in the Saint Realm could utilize the Heaven and Earth Laws. Even the Dao Emperor Realm was far from achieving this.

Because of the use of the Heaven and Earth Laws, the strength of Saint Realm Practitioners was terrifying to the extreme.

It is recorded in some ancient Classics that although Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners are only one major realm behind the Saint Realm, they might not even have a chance to withstand them. A Saint Realm Practitioner, without lifting a finger and merely using the Heaven and Earth Laws, could suppress a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner to death.

Thus, Saint Realm Practitioners had no fear of being besieged by Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners. No matter how many Dao Emperors joined forces, they would struggle to harm a Saint Realm Practitioner.

Thousands of years ago, before the great war with the Human Gods, there were indeed some Saint Realm Practitioners on the Continent.

Like Tianshui, for example.

Although Tianshui never directly revealed his realm, Jing Yan speculated that Tianshui might be a Saint Realm Practitioner, the strongest Martial Artist on the Continent four thousand years ago.

And the resistance of the cave mansion’s entrance was from the rejection formed by the unmerged Heaven and Earth Laws of two spaces.

Silently circulating his Primordial Energy, Jing Yan stepped forward and entered.

”This kid has pretty good Martial Arts Strength!” Watching Jing Yan walk in, Gu Xinghe sneered from the corner of his mouth.

”Daoist Master Realm!” Elder Yin nodded, ”With his age, to have already reached the Daoist Master Realm, this youngster has astonishing Martial Arts Talent as well. Perhaps, that item really is in his hands.”

”Mhm, if that item really is in his hands, we must take it back. Elder Yin, let’s go in too!” Gu Xinghe nodded, his eyes flashing fiercely.

”Swish!”

Jing Yan only felt darkness in front of his eyes, and when his vision restored, the scenery in front of him had completely changed.

”Is this the interior of an Ancient Cave Mansion?” Jing Yan looked around curiously at his surroundings, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Trees and flowers were present here as well. Moreover, Jing Yan noticed some signs that Spirit Grass had been harvested.

”The Gu Family had already come in,” Jing Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth.

The traces of harvested Spirit Grass were very fresh, definitely not more than a year old, within a few months at most.

While Jing Yan was pondering this, light sounds came from beside him, as Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin also entered the cave mansion.

Without much discussion, the three nodded at each other as a sign and headed deeper into the cave mansion.

This cave mansion was vast.

A Saint Realm Practitioner could open a cave mansion, but not all cave mansions were the same. And naturally, not all Saint Realm Practitioners were the same.

The stronger a Saint Realm Practitioner’s strength, the larger the cave mansion they could open.

Although this was the first cave mansion Jing Yan had entered, and he did not know the size of other cave mansions, he felt that the warrior who had opened this one must be an extremely powerful Saint Realm great being.

The three did not stop and walked for several hours, yet the cave mansion still seemed to have no end in sight.

Along the way, however, Jing Yan found that many Spirit Grasses and various mineral resources had been harvested.

The Gu Family’s discovery of this cave mansion clearly brought them a massive surplus of resources.

The Gu Family’s luck was really quite good!

Besides, it was indeed not easy to discover an Ancient Cave Mansion. And each discovery represented an unimaginable fortune. Precisely for this reason, those capable families would send people everywhere in search of Ancient Cave Mansions and Ancient Relics.

Although the hope of finding them was slim, once discovered, it was an incredibly astonishing fortune.

The three walked for three days and nights.

On this day, a black palace appeared in the sight of the three. Upon seeing this palace, a smile finally appeared on Gu Xinghe’s face.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, I won’t hide it from you. After my Gu Family discovered and opened this Ancient Cave Mansion, we immediately sent people in to search for various resources. The more precious resources outside are almost gone. But inside this palace, there are still many Treasures hidden.”

”The three of us will enter and search freely; whoever finds a Treasure will keep it,” Gu Xinghe said with a light laugh.

”Oh?” Jing Yan, hearing this, was somewhat surprised.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, shall we enter?” Gu Xinghe did not elaborate further.

Jing Yan nodded his head without asking further questions.

Entering the palace was smooth, without any obstacles.

This palace was also immensely large. Inside, many patterns could be seen carved on the interior walls, which looked like a vast estate. In the estate, there seemed to live many Martial Artists. There were so many that even Jing Yan, with his level of Cultivation, could not count the number of people on the walls.

”Indeed!”

”It seems that the powerful being who opened this cave mansion also had a family background. These patterns on the walls are probably his own family,” Gu Xinghe said with a laugh.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, there are many rooms in this palace. Some of these rooms are empty, but others contain Treasures. However, entering these rooms requires some luck. Good luck, and you might find an unimaginable treasure in one room. Of course, if you’re unlucky, it can be dangerous. Some rooms have powerful puppets, and once you enter, you will be attacked. Alchemist Jing Yan, be careful yourself,” Gu Xinghe said to Jing Yan.
