Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 286 Immortal King's Cave
While Shi Qingyun was in seclusion, things were quite turbulent within the academy.

Following the Immortal, Shi Yi, the Ten-Crown King, Shi Hao, and others also entered the Void Dao Realm.

On the day when the various prodigies broke through to new realms, the sky darkened, thunderclouds covered half the sky, and the stars in the sky seemed to fall.

They merged their respective flawless Dao seeds, broke through the tribulation of lightning, and entered the Void Path, showcasing the style of the top young geniuses of the Nine Heavens.

The disciples in the academy still sang about the perilous and bloody scene of the tribulation.

However, the most dangerous was Shi Hao's tribulation lightning. Various world-destroying lightning bolts struck him, and he was beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding at the very beginning.

Shi Hao seemed to have incurred the wrath of the heavens; the brutality of the lightning tribulation nearly caused him to fail in his tribulation.

The battle raged from beginning to end without a moment's respite, the aura of world destruction spreading across the heavens.

They all thought Shi Hao would fail, after all, they had only heard of such a lightning tribulation, but had never seen it.

However, Shi Hao fought a bloody battle all the way, shattering countless layers of lightning, until his Dao body was shattered, before he finally survived the terrifying lightning tribulation.

As a result, many people are discussing which flawless Dao seed Shi Hao used to break through into the Void Dao, which would bring about such a calamity.

Aside from Shi Hao's Dao Seed, the most discussed topic was not the geniuses who broke through to the Void Dao, but Shi Qingyun, who kept appearing during the tribulation.

Many academy disciples witnessed Shi Qingyun's figure appear in the sea of ​​lightning, continuously bombarding the person undergoing tribulation.

Although there had been rumors of this situation beforehand, the fact that it happened so many times in a row was still surprising and intriguing to them.

What I care about most is the battle between Shi Qingyun and the other geniuses. Although he was just a figure transformed from lightning tribulation, it was enough to show some of his abilities.

Therefore, Shi Qingyun's mystery and power are shrouded in a veil in everyone's mind.

Those monstrous geniuses who had originally planned to challenge him after breaking through to the Void Path couldn't help but suppress their thoughts.

On this day, lightning flashed once again above the academy, and a graceful figure appeared in mid-air, standing proudly.

"That's a witch? She's also broken through to the Void Path!"

"As expected of Shi Qingyun's Daoist partner, her talent is in no way inferior to other geniuses."

"I wonder if she can survive the heavenly tribulation."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the witch gazed at the thunderclouds filling the sky, her expression serene, and slightly raised her jade-like hand.

The space behind her gradually became transparent, and her figure flickered accordingly.

Streaks of lightning, like sharp swords, pierced straight towards her, and a burning smell immediately filled the void.

The witch neither dodged nor avoided the incoming lightning bolts, showing no reaction whatsoever to these menacing lightning dragons.

When the lightning struck her, it was as if it hit empty air; the witch was right there, yet she seemed to be far away.

Standing between reality and illusion, he avoided the attack of the lightning tribulation.

Then Shi Qingyun emerged from the sea of ​​lightning once more, but upon seeing the witch, he slowly dissipated into the void.

Shi Hao and the others, who were watching from a distance, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as they watched the thunderclouds gradually dissipate in the sky.

Shi Hao had long felt that Shi Qingyun in the sea of ​​lightning was excessively strong, with his combat awareness and supernatural powers readily available.

So that's where the problem lies!

Shi Qingyun, who was meditating in the cave, slowly opened his eyes, but the next moment, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"what happened?"

After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't come to a conclusion, so I stopped thinking about it.

Below was a scroll depicting the Yin and Yang of life and death, which swept away the Yin and Yang energies that permeated the surrounding area.

His body trembled slightly as the aura of the Void Dao Realm slowly emanated, and his body stood there, seemingly shining with the sun and moon, resonating with heaven and earth.

The cultivation of the Void Realm has reached a state of perfect harmony, with the Great Dao resonating with every action.

With a step forward, the space beneath his feet shifted, and his figure appeared outside the cave.

As the witch's figure slowly appeared in the rippled space, a genuine smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

With a swift movement, he appeared beside the witch, reaching out to embrace her waist.

"Congratulations! You have broken through to the Void Path, and the Great Dao is within reach."

"I knew then that you could do it."

Feeling the warmth coming from her ear, the witch quickly snapped out of her joy at breaking through her cultivation level.

A blush immediately spread across her cheeks, revealing a girlish shyness.

"I still want to walk the Great Dao with you and witness the prosperity of the world. How can a mere barrier of realms stop me?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingyun tidied her messy hair at the temples and nodded to her.

The bamboo grove is secluded and deserted, while the zither and lute resonate in harmony, discussing profound truths.

Time passed slowly, and after entering the Void Path, the lives of the witch and Shi Qingyun became much more monotonous compared to those of Shi Hao and the others.

Every day, they either secluded themselves in their cave to cultivate, or the two of them would sit together under the bamboo pavilion, enjoying tea and discussing philosophy.

A gentle evening breeze stirs, causing the bamboo shadows to sway and shatter in the teacup.

Shi Qingyun slowly put down the teacup in his hand, the sound of the witch's zither playing and the rustling of bamboo leaves echoing in his ears.

A sense of natural harmony with the Tao naturally permeates the entire body, unconsciously overflowing from within.

"Ding--"

The teacup struck the stone table with a crisp, lingering sound, just like his leisurely and carefree mood at that moment.

"Zheng——"

But before the music could finish, it was interrupted by a deafening roar.

Shi Qingyun suddenly raised his head and saw a majestic figure disappearing into the chaos in the void.

A giant hand lifted up a world, and terrifying phenomena caused the earth to shake violently.

The witch put away her harp and came to his side, her brows furrowing slightly.

"What happened?"

"Could this strange phenomenon mean that some supreme treasure is about to be born?"

The divine light in Shi Qingyun's eyes slowly faded. Looking at the sharp horn that was identical to the one in the immortal's hand, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"What it is, we will find out soon enough."

"go!"

With a stomp of his foot on the ground, a surge of yin and yang energy rose up, carrying the two away and disappearing from the spot.

As soon as the two appeared on the academy square, they saw a huge portal appear in the void.

The runes imprinted on it exude a primitive and wild feeling.

When Shi Hao and the others saw the two arrive, they greeted them. Just as everyone was still discussing, the figure of the Third Elder slowly appeared in mid-air.

"This is the tomb of an immortal." "You may enter here to seek your fortune."

As soon as the words were spoken, the academy disciples who had some guesses transformed into streaks of rainbow light and plunged into it.

Shi Qingyun and the witch exchanged a glance. With a surge of divine power, they moved quickly and joined the others.

Passing through the dark and mysterious passage, a point of light appeared before us, rapidly growing larger.

As a crimson-white light filled the space before my eyes, and as the light gradually faded, the world before me slowly appeared.

The towering city gate lay silently in the dark underground world, while two majestic statues stood at the city gate as the academy disciples entered.

The two imposing guardian stone statues slowly opened their eyes, their cold gazes sweeping over the numerous academy disciples.

Everyone felt a tremor that came from their very souls. Fortunately, they meant no harm; otherwise, a single glance would have been enough to kill them.

"click"

A series of crisp, grinding sounds emanated from the two stone statues, echoing through the underground world. The halberds they held sliced ​​through the air, crossing to block the entrance.

Blood-red eyes slowly swept over the academy disciples present, and a fierce aura, like that of a beast, emanated from them.

"The relics left behind by the Immortal King will be collected by the descendants of the Seven Kings."

“You who are about to die, you are not allowed to enter.”

Following the direction opposite the guard post, several aged figures slowly emerged from the void.

The group exchanged glances, sensing the imposing aura emanating from the two guards, and shook their heads inwardly before turning and leaving.

"Can we go in?"

A piercing light flashed in the guard's eyes as he swept his gaze over the man, then he shook his head.

"Those who are not of the bloodline of the Seven Kings are not allowed to enter!"

The cold words echoed in the void, and many disciples felt a murderous intent, like the clash of swords and the thunder of horses, rushing towards them.

"They are all from the Nine Heavens, so why are only the bloodlines of the Seven Kings allowed to enter?"

"Didn't our ancestors shed blood for the heavens?!"

Some cultivators who knew the reason stood up and spoke with righteous indignation.

The two tall guards hesitated upon hearing this and fell into a brief silence.

"Then let the capable take the place! It's all for the sake of the heavens."

After a moment of silence, one of the guards spoke slowly and deliberately, and the coldness in his tone softened somewhat.

Upon hearing this, many academy disciples showed excitement on their faces, their eyes fixed on the slowly opening gate.

As soon as the gate opened, everyone rushed in. The space inside was enormous, like a world hidden in the void.

As soon as everyone entered, they immediately felt a surge of rich, pure spiritual energy flowing into their bodies.

The bright environment was a stark contrast to the dim outside, and the rich energy seemed to be taking shape.

The group didn't pay much attention to their surroundings. After surveying the area, they scattered in all directions.

After making their agreement, Shi Qingyun and the witch each chose a direction and set off.

The sky was filled with twinkling stars, their light falling upon the earth and illuminating the road ahead.

Shi Qingyun traveled through the void under the stars and moon, passing by magnificent palaces, his eyes flashing with divine light.

"arrive!"

His figure slowly emerged in front of an ancient cave dwelling that was bathed in a faint glow of sunset. As soon as he stood still, he felt a terrifying sensation that penetrated his very soul emanating from within the cave dwelling.

With a single step, starlight wove around him, creating a magnificent tapestry that steadily blocked the surging pressure.

Shi Qingyuan's eyes fell on the plaque shrouded in chaotic energy, his body trembled slightly, and he instantly tore through the surging pressure.

Seeing the chaotic energy gathering beneath the plaque, he didn't hesitate and stepped forward to collect it all.

“Anything used by a Celestial King, even if it is an ordinary object, possesses extraordinary power.”

Thinking this way, he felt at ease and took a big step, slowly walking into the cave.

The layout inside was different from what I had imagined. There were no gorgeous or exquisite decorations. Apart from a futon filled with chaotic energy, there was nothing else inside.

Shi Qingyun scanned the cave from top to bottom with his eyes and used his divine sense to sweep across the entire cave, but he found nothing.

Immediately, he turned around and walked towards the lonely prayer mat.

As the crisp sound of footsteps echoed within the empty cave, wisps of vital energy mixed with starlight surged in from outside.

The originally simple, natural, and faintly glowing futon suddenly burst into golden light, and the immortal golden light soared into the sky.

Under the golden light, a man whose face was obscured by chaotic energy slowly appeared on the futon.

It was covered with mysterious and extraordinary runes, as if they were woven from the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, appearing and disappearing with the man's movements.

Upon seeing this, Shi Qingyun immediately sat down cross-legged, a Dao seal in his eye spinning rapidly, capturing the man's every move.

That towering figure was imprinted in his mind again and again, but would vanish in an instant.

Shi Qingyun's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and the power of the world within his body slowly began to circulate, using Yin and Yang as ink and heaven and earth as brushes.

It was etched into my mind.

As the pen fell, his body trembled involuntarily, as if it had stirred the entire void, as if he had touched some taboo.

Every stroke of the pen became so difficult.

"咚咚-"

A series of Daoist chants resounded within his body, and the glow on his body began to flicker. Drops of blood were squeezed out from his pores.

The Daoist sound echoed and vibrated within his body, striking his bones and meridians.

The universe within his body was slowly expanding, the Yin and Yang Dao flowed within him, and the aura emanating from his body became increasingly profound.

Time passed slowly, and the Daoist sounds emanating from his body became increasingly clear.

Within his mind, a blurry golden figure slowly emerged, exuding an indescribable pressure simply by sitting there cross-legged.

As the last stroke was made, the golden figure gained a touch of divine charm, and in the next instant, the golden body collapsed.

It transformed into a divine Dao pattern that seemed to seize the very essence of heaven and earth, and merged into his body.

Shi Qingyun suddenly opened her eyes, her body trembled, and the impurities that had solidified on her body fell off, revealing her jade-like skin.

"Heavenly Horned Ant Technique, the ultimate in power!"

"It's actually quite terrifying."

Feeling the increased strength in his every move, he was overjoyed, never expecting to receive this inheritance here.
