Chapter 1698: Chapter 1030: Harvest from the Cave Dwelling
Rumble!
The group joined forces, and soon a deep tunnel was opened through the ruin passage.
“Master, it’s opened,” Xue Ming quickly reported.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and asked, “What’s the situation inside now?”
“I ordered everyone to wait outside and not to enter, so we still don’t know what’s inside.”
Xue Ming was very smart; if there were truly any treasures inside, they absolutely couldn’t go in first on their own.
Otherwise, if someone found a treasure and didn’t report it, the consequences for them would be severe.
So it’s best to wait for Liang Yuan to enter together.
Liang Yuan glanced at him and immediately understood his intention.
He smiled slightly and said, “Well done, follow me inside.”
“Yes, Master.”
The group then followed Liang Yuan into the dark cave entrance.
As they made their way through the ruins and rubble, they gradually saw an isolated small space inside.
This space was obviously man-made, with decorated beams and overlapping buildings.
However, due to years of neglect and lack of array maintenance, this space was nearing the brink of collapse.
In the sky, numerous spatial rifts appeared, and the ground and mountains beneath showed varying degrees of cracks.
From the spatial rifts, turbulent space currents would occasionally blow out.
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice, “Be careful, don’t get swept away by the space currents, or even as immortals, it will be hard for you to come back alive.”
Everyone’s expression was serious, clearly aware of the terrifying nature of these spatial currents.
“Don’t worry, Master, we know how to handle it,” Qin Guang said with a smile.
Xue Ming also said, “In the starry sky, these spatial currents are common, and everyone knows how to avoid them.”
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, “The locals of the Netherworld Cave Heaven stay outside; all those who returned from the Starry Sky Ancient City, come inside with me to search.”
“Yes, Master!”
Everyone agreed in unison.
Most of the people returning from the Starry Sky Ancient City had been implanted with the Soul Imprisonment Rune by Liang Yuan; they would definitely not betray Liang Yuan.
Even if they privately found the Blood River Sword inheritance, they would surely present it to Liang Yuan.
However, the locals, like Meng Jiugu, Ghost Third Laugh, and Fugu Ascendant, called Liang Yuan “Master.”
But that was out of respect as their ancestor Qin Guang and Xue Ming called him; they hadn’t been implanted with the Soul Imprisonment Rune by Liang Yuan, so their loyalty was hard to guarantee.
Thus, Liang Yuan let these people guard the perimeter and didn’t allow them near the core area of this space.
At this point, the group spread out and quickly began searching the grotto.
Moments later, Qin Guang flew over with a large batch of jade slips.
A hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said, “Master, I found many jade slips. Many of them are notes left by the past masters of the Netherworld Cave Heaven.”
Hearing this, Liang Yuan’s heart moved, and he immediately took them, asking, “What is written inside?”
“I didn’t look too closely; there are many cultivation insights and cultivation notes of past cave masters.”
Qin Guang naturally knew better than to pry, so he didn’t examine the contents in detail.
Liang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and put away the jade slips, saying, “I credit you with great merit. Keep searching; I’ll take a look at these things first.”
Qin Guang was overjoyed and quickly said, “Thank you, Master.”
Everyone then resumed their search all over again.
Someone found a Mutated Fruit, also known as the Spirit Fruit.
Someone discovered array flags, containing arrays within.
Others found various rune weapons, but they had become obsolete, having lost their spirituality and power.
However, the runes on them were genuinely useful; collecting them might allow replication in the future.
Soon after, someone else found some pills and alchemy furnaces, along with numerous pill recipes.
Liang Yuan, curious about the alchemical practices of ancient people, also collected these.
Later, the medical department could see if they could reproduce any of these pills.
One should not underestimate the wisdom of ancient superpower users.
Though the eras were different, many modern illnesses still relied on ancient prescriptions for treatment.
Why did traditional Chinese medicine become popular again in the years before the Great Flood apocalypse?
It’s not only that people recognized Western medicine treats symptoms rather than causes, but also due to some doctors’ lack of ethics.
Thus, these pill recipes were worth researching, possibly containing many pills that could be restored.
Of course, currently, Liang Yuan found little use for them, as he had already reached the Star God Level.
The strongest in the Netherworld Cave Heaven also reached the Star God Level, so these pills wouldn’t likely benefit the Star God Level much.
However, his various beauties could still use them.
After searching for another hour, the group nearly turned the place inside out.
Yet they found no information on the Blood River Sword inheritance.
“Master, we’ve searched the entire grotto and only found these things.”
Liang Yuan frowned slightly and asked, “Have all the searchable places been searched?”
“Yes, it’s possible that the inheritance item was already swallowed by the space currents,” Xue Ming couldn’t resist saying.
Liang Yuan looked at the devastated grotto, where spatial rifts continued to expand, carrying away large amounts of debris.
Liang Yuan sighed; it was indeed possible.
He thought for a moment and said, “Have everything here packed up and transferred out.”
“Yes, Master.”
The group then packed up everything from the place to take with them.
Even every brick and tile from the buildings was taken away.
Afterward, Liang Yuan researched and searched among these items.
First, he went through all the items from the ruins, confirming each brick and tile had no use before starting to study the jade slips, runes, and pill recipes.
Liang Yuan started with the jade slips.
The jade slips seemed verbose and cluttered, containing a large amount of useless chronicles and experiences.
Nonetheless, the content within appeared quite interesting.
The slips involved many ancient times myths, even containing numerous records of figures Liang Yuan was familiar with.
There was an entry about a superpower user named ‘Zhong Kui,’ whose superpower was devouring.
He could devour any energy entity, just like General Keen, who they had previously captured.
In folklore, Zhong Kui was known to eat ghosts.
This devouring superpower was described by ordinary people as a divine power to eat ghosts.
Liang Yuan felt as if he were stepping into mythological tales again, interpreting ancient mythical figures from the perspective of superpower users.
As a result, these chronicle jade slips seemed anything but tedious to Liang Yuan, instead appearing extraordinarily interesting.
This process continued until Liang Yuan came across a jade slip titled “Blood River Notes,” at which point he suddenly stopped!
“Blood River Notes” was about the life deeds of the Blood River Ancestor, not handwritten by the Blood River Ancestor himself, but written by his descendants and disciples.
The content depicted the life and quotes of the Blood River Ancestor.
It included a detailed account of the Blood River Ancestor subduing Xiangliu and suppressing it within the Netherworld Cave Heaven!
Liang Yuan keenly sensed that this might contain clues to the Blood River Sword!
He immediately started reading it carefully.
The entire text praised the greatness and divine power of the Blood River Ancestor.
It wasn’t until the end that a few lines mentioned the Blood River Ancestor intended to use Xiangliu as a host, hosting the Netherworld Cave Heaven within its body!
