Chapter 890: A Large Gathering of Main Envoys (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
However, it was very weak. It was just a naturally formed cave and could not even break through. Not long after, Shen Ping followed them to the cave. These people threw out illumination balls. Balls quickly spun in the cave, emitting bright light that illuminated the entire cave.
“Haha, it’s here as expected.”
“According to the map, this is only the outermost Blood Cave. There are a total of 108 Blood Caves in this valley. After activating all the Blood Caves, the passageway to the headquarters can be opened.”
“However, there is an item sealed in the depths of every Blood Cave. The reason why that great sect in the ancient era was destroyed was because of the calamity brought about by these things. After all, possessing a jade is a sin. I wonder how many are left now!”
The five heretics spoke the Commonwealth of Eagle language fluently, and one of them was from Xia. Clearly, he had brought clues.
Shen Ping followed closely behind. There was a winding passageway in the Blood Cave that reached more than 1,000 meters underground. The further down they went, there were more and more special diagrams on the wall, as if they were recording the glory of this great sect. Now, after thousands of years, they appeared again.
He went underground. He opened a stone door and entered. Torches made of special materials burned, lighting up the surroundings. Even without the illumination balls, he could see his surroundings clearly.
It was a circular hall with a diameter of about 500 to 600 meters. There were nine grooves on the wall of the hall, and each groove seemed to have once sealed an item, but the item in the grooves had long disappeared.
“Unfortunately, tomorrow we’ll explore other blood caves.”
“That’s normal. I don’t think there are any sealed items in the 108 Blood Caves. Otherwise, this sect wouldn’t have been destroyed back then. I wonder if the SS-ranksealed item in the headquarters still exists!”
“It definitely exists. According to the clues I obtained, back then, before this great sect was destroyed, it used some type of forbidden object to eliminate all of the enemies that invaded. At the same time, it closed the main altar. Otherwise, this blood cave should have been opened.”
“I hope so.”
After saying that, the few of them returned. At this moment, as if a gust of cold wind was blowing at the Buddha, the torch flickered. The stone door closed instantly. The person from Xia hurriedly shouted, “Not good, it must be a demon spirit, a remnant demon spirit!”
The other four heretics immediately became vigilant. They did not show any panic on their faces. After all, they were only Demon Spirits. To ordinary people, or even those below the level of the Heretics, Demon Spirits could not be touched or seen. It was easy to cause fear in their hearts. However, the weakest of them was at the level of a Level Three Heretic. They were not afraid at all.
Demon spirits seeped out of the walls of the cave. They were transparent like pure energy bodies as they rushed towards the five heretics. The five heretics reacted extremely quickly and used their abilities, including fire, ice, energy shields, spatial mirror images, and so on.
To put it bluntly, no matter what ability it was, it was actually a derivation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even if they did not know what the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth would still absorb the mutated energy that they absorbed after reaching the level of a Level 3 Oracle, allowing their bodies to activate their abilities.
After a while, the remaining ten demonic spirits were all eliminated.
“Since there is a demon spirit, perhaps there is a sealed item here. Otherwise, even if there are any remaining demon spirits left, it should be as weak as the passageway outside. Everyone, look for it.”
Shen Ping was also searching. He used his true spirit power to infiltrate the surrounding walls and the stone foundation under his feet. Soon, he discovered the location of the stone foundation under his feet. There was a mechanism groove, and in the groove was a bronze sword.
There were densely packed special patterns around the groove. It seemed to be a seal. Thus, he used his true spirit power to block this place. The five heretics searched for a long time but did not find anything. They could only return first.
When they left, Shen Ping opened the groove of the mechanism. He extended his hand and held the bronze sword. A huge amount of mutated energy swept over like a wave. If any of the five heretics had faced this kind of mental corruption, their consciousness would have been instantly destroyed.
“S-grade secret artifact!”
His eyes were filled with joy. For example, the blue-gold ore last time was only a high-grade D-rank item, while the energy of the ancient bronze sword was already at the main envoy level. Most importantly, the energy fluctuation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth on the surface contained a clear and complete direction. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Great Dao of Heaven and Earth like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There were high-grade Great Dao of Heaven and Earth such as five elements, Yin, and Yang.
It’s just not complete.
He thought about it. Shen Ping used his true spirit power to cut off all the stone walls in the groove and take away the ancient bronze sword. With his current strength, he could not hide the bronze sword, so he could only do this.
Back at the tower base, after informing Bai Ying, he began to comprehend these engravings. It only took one night for him to understand the secret engravings.
“These engravings are somewhat similar to sacrificial diagrams, but much more complicated. The ancient great sects were much stronger in the use of mutant energy than they are now. Could this Bronze Secret Artifact be created by some experts from the ancient era?”
Shen Ping carefully studied the bronze sword. The material on it was completely bronze smelting and not special metal. This made him look puzzled. To be able to withstand such a powerful mental corruption, it was actually just an ordinary bronze craft. It was really unbelievable.
“There must be a source of secret artifacts in the depths of this great sect’s headquarters!”
For the rest of the time, every night, he followed the five people sent by the Eagle Federation to enter and exit the Blood Cave under the Shayuan Valley. He had completely investigated the 108 Blood Caves. Only 13 of them still had artifacts. There were a total of five buried under the stone foundation like the bronze sword.
From the level of the fluctuations above, it was obvious that the secret weapon buried underground was relatively precious. As for the remaining secret weapons sealed, they were only E-class. Although he had obtained five S-rank secret weapons, Shen Ping was not too excited. This was because his goal was the source, the blue bracelet.
But so far, there’s not a single clue.
One month later, with the help of an S-grade secret weapon, his physical body had undergone another metamorphosis, reaching the True Immortal level. The mutated energy had also broken through to the main envoy level.
At this stage, with his true spirit power alone, he could conceal the energy emitted by the bronze sword. Moreover, Shen Ping had finally sensed the location of the headquarters deep underground.
“As expected, there’s an SS-grade secret weapon like the black tree branch in the depths of the headquarters!”
“Let’s wait. If I’m not wrong, the Eagle Federation will make a move soon!” During this period of time, the five heretics had swept through the 108 Blood Caves. Only the headquarters was left. Another half a month later, just as Shen Ping had guessed, the Eagle Federation had sent six main envoys at once, and the other countries had also sent three or four main envoys one after another. The main envoys could already destroy a small country. Even the Xia Kingdom could not stop them. They could only send the same main envoys to keep an eye on each other.
“Don’t worry, we’re only here for the ruins of Shayuan City.”
“Xia has already obtained three of the more than ten SS-grade secret artifacts that were unearthed in the sea back then. This time, we won’t let you take advantage of us!”
“If it weren’t for the huge commotion, we wouldn’t have given Xia any chance!”
There were more than 30 main envoys from all over the world. In addition to the 12 main envoys from Xia and the two high-level main envoys, nearly 50 of them were gathered in Shayuan Valley.
As for the modified warriors assigned by the outpost tower, they were all transferred away. Including Shen Ping and Bai Ying, they returned to Qinghe City. A battle between main envoys was not something they could participate in.
In fact, Xia had sent a large number of modified warriors to Shayuan Valley to cover the evacuation of the citizens of Shayuan City. Now, Shayuan City, including the county, town, and other citizens, had all evacuated. Only the construction and official organization members were left in the entire valley.
Shen Ping applied for leave, but before he could go to the airport, he was stopped by Bai Ying. “Don’t go to Shayuan Valley. If you go, I’ll accompany you.”
