Chapter 800 The Old Man Guarding the Cave's Years
The influence of the Dark Xing Society is pervasive throughout the entire competition zone.

If Loga, who was in the open, could send his men to Yan Qiushui's camp, then it would be even easier for Yan Qiushui, who was in the shadows, to scheme against Loga.

Even in higher-level planes, to improve one's strength, one inevitably has to grind through dungeons, cultivate to acquire resources, complete tasks, and so on.

Most people don't care about ghost water, so it's not a sought-after resource.

To maintain stability and reduce panic on Planet Bisbet, Loga intervened in these resources, preventing those of lower levels from accessing them.

To this end, guards have been set up in three locations around the world where Ghost Bubbles are produced. The three guards are quite powerful, all of whom are above the peak of martial arts. Once you gain the approval of the guards, you can enter and obtain your desired Ghost Bubble to improve your strength.

In this way, a safe threshold can be set up.

To ensure Lin Yi could return as soon as possible, Yan Qiushui specially arranged for Jerome, a high-ranking member of the Dark Star Society, to lead the two to the Mande Cave, one of the three Ghost Bubble producing areas, which yielded the highest quality products.

The reason for having Jerome, a high-ranking member of the Dark Star Society, accompany them is that the one guarding the Mande Cave is a member of the Dark Star Society. With a high-ranking member accompanying them, the guard will not only open the door to convenience but will also do his best to help Xi Yue find a suitable Ghost Bubble, which is a martial soul.

Jerome was a blond, blue-eyed, burly man who was not only a member of the Dark Organization but also a high-ranking official in the open country of Trans.

With him by their side, Lin Yi and Xi Yue had a smooth journey.

For high-ranking officials of powerful nations, this is the best passport in the entire competition.

The competition stars have many similarities with the blue stars.

Aside from the global landscape of multiple nations coexisting, long-distance travel also relies on regularly maintained teleportation arrays.

"Lord Lin Yi, Lord Xi Yue, I don't mean to be presumptuous, but once we arrive, Lord Xi Yue, please don't be too greedy. The reason why so few people touch the Ghostly Pool is because it's extremely dangerous."

"For your safety, and for Lord Yan's plan to proceed smoothly, please don't joke with your safety, Lord Xiyue. This is the Heart-Guarding Pill, which can greatly enhance the user's spiritual power in a short period of time, thereby helping the user increase the chances of fully absorbing the Nether Soul Bubble."

As he spoke, Jerome took out a pill that shimmered with a dark green light and handed it to Xi Yue.

After receiving the pill, Xi Yue exchanged a glance with Lin Yi, and if there were no problems, she took it directly.

Lin Yi didn't even use his All-Seeing Eye to analyze the ingredients of the pill.

He knew very well that Yan Qiushui's greatest wish right now was for Lin Yi to return as soon as possible.

Moreover, this woman is completely incapable of imagining the most genuine emotions between people, and she never imagined that controlling Xiyue could have any effect.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

The group arrived at the Mande Cave.

A thick fog blanketed the space.

Even Jerome, a high-ranking member of the Dark Rising organization, could only rely on specific tools to determine the correct direction to move forward.

But to his surprise, Lin Yi and Xi Yue, who possessed divine power, were completely unaffected by this illusion. They only needed to inject their own divine power into their eyes to completely eliminate the illusion before them.

Jerome, preoccupied with his own thoughts, didn't notice that both Lin Yi and Xi Yue had their eyes fixed on the direction of the cave entrance behind the mist.

After traveling for a long time, the thick fog in front of them gradually dissipated, and even Jerome could gradually sense the source energy fluctuations coming from ahead.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Xi Yue no longer suppressed their speed and rushed towards the direction of the cave entrance.

About half a minute later, Lin Yi and Xi Yue arrived at the Mande Cave first.

This is a massive entrance made of bluestone, shaped like a raging lion. The lion's eyes gleam with an eerie green light, and a chilling wind blows through, carrying no trace of human presence.

"Gentlemen, are you here to retrieve the Ghostly Bubble? But I don't recognize you."

An elderly man with disheveled hair appeared, holding a bone cane.

Time had ravaged him beyond recognition; he had lost all human traces and looked as if he had been pierced by a chilling wind, withered and emaciated.

"In the competition, strength is paramount. Without Lord Luo's permission, we have no choice but to offend him."

After the old man finished speaking, he slammed his bone staff into the ground. A massive surge of source energy, carrying the aura of supreme laws, burst forth from where the staff landed and rippled towards Lin Yi and his companion.

The old man was expressionless, but his confidence was palpable.

These two, with such weak auras and such young ages, where did they get the courage to come to the Mande Cave?
Just as the old man was about to turn and leave, he never expected that the aura he emitted would shatter completely and vanish the moment it came into contact with Lin Yi and the other person.

"How can it be!"

How can these two young people be so incredibly strong?
Just as the old man was about to ask the two their identities, Jerome arrived late.

"Lord Lin Yi, Lady Xi Yue, isn't your speed a bit too fast?"

After calming his breathing, Jerome stood in front of the old man.

"Old Ke, how come after all these years, you're still so impatient?"

The old man was naturally able to recognize Jerome's identity.

Upon seeing that it was an old friend, Old Ke immediately put away his weapon, the bone staff.

"You, how could you? These two?"

Jerome gave a wicked smile, then proudly introduced Lin Yi and Xi Yue.

Only then did the old man understand why the Dark Star Organization had issued a Level 1 combat readiness notice a few days ago.

With two such powerful newcomers joining, the Dark Rising Organization is planning a big move.

"Don't just be surprised. Quickly tell the two lords what you've learned about the Mande Cave over the years, so that Lady Xiyue can get the Ghost Bubble she desires."

For hundreds of years, Old Ke has guarded the Mande Cave. In his spare time, he would also enter the cave to study its structure and the ghost bubbles it produces.

With his explanation, Lin Yi and his companion were spared many unnecessary steps.

The Cavern of Mande is divided into five regions, each producing different grades of Ghost Bubbles. Old Ke named the five regions with letters: SSS, S, A, B, and C.

To enter these five regions, you need to obtain a one-time-use key from one of the four dungeons of different difficulty levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

According to Lao Ke, after entering the Mande Cave, you will be teleported to a separate space. In this space, there are four dungeons of different difficulty. You will have ten minutes to challenge the dungeons of different difficulty to obtain different keys to open the gates to different areas.

The four keys, Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, can open the gates to the four regions S, A, B, and C respectively.

To unlock the gates to the SSS region, you need to collect the keys to all four regions.
