Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 203 Purple Yin Cave

"Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and Master Miaoyin has never appeared in the cultivation world again, needless to say that her soul has returned to Mount Dai."

Liu Xiong Yu sighed softly, turning his gaze to Li Xiangming with a profound look in his eyes: "Although Pu County is wild and desolate, countless cultivators have died here. If one can find one or two inheritances left by predecessors, one's path in this life will be smooth."

"Therefore, the place where the Venerable Miaoyin passed away has always been a source of suspicion among the cultivators of the two prefectures. Many rogue cultivators, and even major sects like the White Dew Sect, have sent experts to try to find clues, but without exception, all of them have failed."

"These people would never have imagined that Mu Ya Zi had already found the tomb of Master Miao Yin thirty years ago."

At this point, Liu Xiongyu paused, then continued, "The tomb of the Myriad Sound Immortal is empty, but it is not entirely empty, because there is a hidden cave within the tomb called the Purple Shade Cave."

"Mu Ya Zi went to great lengths to find the entrance to the Purple Yin Cave, but was blocked by a bloodline restriction and could not enter."

“Bloodline restrictions are different from ordinary restrictions; they cannot be broken by brute force. Mu Yazi can only leave the tomb and try to find out the origin of the Purple Yin Cave.”

"After several years of investigation, Mu Ya Zi finally learned that tens of thousands of years ago, a Nascent Soul Elder surnamed Su from the Wuliang Sword Sect had left the sect and flowed into the Linan Road. This person was a rare individual with a unique wind spiritual root, and True Person Miaoyin was also a cultivator with a unique wind spiritual root."

Strange Wind Spiritual Root?

Li Xiangming's heart stirred. Liu Xiong Yu also had a different wind spiritual root. Could there be a connection between them?
Liu Xiong Yu, unaware of Li Xiang Ming's thoughts, continued, "Mu Ya Zi determined that the two were of the same bloodline. The Zi Yin Cave was a legacy left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Su, which was obtained by the Miao Yin True Person. The Miao Yin True Person also left his legacy in the Zi Yin Cave on his deathbed."

Liu Xiong Yu's eyes gleamed: "Considering that the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Su and the Myriad Sound True Person lived in vastly different eras, there may be far more than just the two of them in the Burial Cave."

Nascent Soul inheritance?

No, all the heritage of the Su family.
Li Xiangming couldn't help but gasp.

Such an opportunity, just imagining it, is enough to make one's heart flutter.

But soon, Li Xiangming frowned: "You said that the Purple Yin Cave has a bloodline restriction, and that to open the Purple Yin Cave, we need to find a descendant of the Su family, right?"

When the Su family descendants were mentioned, Liu Xiong Yu suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, he said, "Besides the Su family bloodline, there is a second way to open the Purple Yin Cave, and that is this stone tablet."

Liu Xiongyu showed the stone tablet to Li Xiangming.

Li Xiangming's eyes flickered. He had personally witnessed Liu Xiongyu take this token out of the forbidden scroll, and the three large characters "Purple Yin Cave" engraved on it undoubtedly increased the credibility of the other party's words.

Liu Xiong Yu chuckled: "Aren't you worried that you won't be able to establish your foundation due to the influence of the demonic heart? The Purple Yin Cave is full of Nascent Soul cultivators, making it the perfect place for you to peel away the demonic heart."

"Are you willing to let me into the Purple Yin Cave?"

Li Xiangming immediately realized what was happening and found it hard to believe.

"Why not?"

Liu Xiong Yu put away the stone tablet and said calmly, "Of course, it's only for you. I don't want to fight your old man."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangming frowned deeply, as if he could wring water out of his brows.
If the Purple Shade Cave is real, it must offer countless opportunities; it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

Of course, there are bound to be dangers inside.

Li Xiangming is not lacking in adventurous spirit, but the fact that he is going on an adventure with Liu Xiong Yu makes him have to think carefully.

Whether Liu Xiong Yu was a friend or foe, Li Xiangming still had no answer in his mind.

If we're talking about enemies, they are fundamentally different from Madam Zhen, a capricious and unpredictable member of the Mang Cult.

Moreover, in the past three years, it has not harmed me, and even guided me in spells when it was in a good mood.

But to call them friends is a stretch.

Liu Xiongyu's actions all along have been nothing but exploitation of himself.

For example, regarding the Purple Shade Stone Tablet, Liu Xiong Yu casually mentioned it in a few words, but Li Xiang Ming was willing to risk his life to break the restrictions within the painting.

There's also the Purple Shade Cave. Liu Xiong Yu's desire to enter it is simply because he wants the evil green-robed figure to resist the restrictions.

However, the evil green robe is not omnipotent; although it can absorb magic power, there is a "saturation point".

For example, when Li Xiangming first came into contact with the evil Green Robe, it was unscrupulous, absorbing all kinds of magic power, and even tried to possess the body of the dead Smiling Tiger.

But just a few months later, it looked down on Li Chenggeng and Li Qianxiong, who were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Later, in the Tihu Cave, it absorbed a sufficient amount of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection mana from Li Huinan, and from then on, it turned a blind eye to the mana of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Last time at Puyin Mountain, Li Xiangming was completely suppressed by Liu Xiongyu's magic power.

The fact that the Evil Green Robe remained completely still is a case in point. Now, the Evil Green Robe has even absorbed an entire Nascent Soul restriction.

Who knows if it's tired of the Nascent Soul's magical power, or if it will continue to absorb the magical power of the next restriction?

This thing looks like a magical artifact, but it's completely uncontrollable. Li Xiangming has always passively used its properties to cultivate.

To treat it as a container for endlessly absorbing external magical power is simply courting death.

Over the past three years, every time he triggered the restriction, he was essentially gambling with his life, because he didn't know whether the evil green-robed man was truly satisfied.

Eighteen attempts meant he risked his life eighteen times.

Now, Liu Xiong Yu wants him to go into the Purple Yin Cave to continue gambling with his life.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangming couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling an indescribable sense of frustration.

Ever since he met Liu Xiong Yu, he has been led by the nose by the other party.

But he couldn't refuse any of their suggestions.

They even find it sweet.

"I wish to go to the Purple Shade Cave."

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiangming finally agreed to Liu Xiongyu's request.

The evil green robe was not the treasure that he had imagined could lead directly to the Great Dao; instead, it had now trapped him firmly in the Qi Refining stage.

Whether it's to escape the evil green robes or to pursue a better legacy, he needs to cherish this opportunity.

Even if it means death!

"Don't feel embarrassed. The Purple Shade Cave is very likely a small world, and no one knows what it's like inside."

Liu Xiong Yu smiled slightly: "Perhaps you will receive more opportunities than I have."

Li Xiangming didn't reply, but instead asked, "When can we enter the Purple Yin Cave?"

"That depends on your Li family."

"The Li family?"

Li Xiangming was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Liu Xiong Yu gazed at the distant wilderness and said somewhat casually, "When Mount Dai was unclaimed, others could not find the tomb of True Person Miaoyin, but now Mount Dai is full of cultivators."

"You mean the Purple Shade Cave has been discovered?"

Li Xiangming interrupted, his face grim.

"That's right, why do you think the Soul Suppressing Sect and the Victory Intent Sect would fight each other?"

Liu Xiongyu glanced at Li Xiangming: "Don't be in a hurry. Although the two sects have discovered the Purple Yin Cave, just like Mu Ya Zi back then, they are blocked by the bloodline restriction and have not been able to enter until now."

"Over the years, they have been fighting and trying to take over the Ziyin Cave, while desperately searching for the descendants of the Su family."

"But as early as thirty years ago, Mu Ya Zi had already slaughtered all the descendants of the Su family in the two prefectures. Now, the only one who can enter the Purple Yin Cave is the stone tablet key in my hand."

Li Xiangming looked at Liu Xiongyu in surprise and doubt. He did not expect Mu Yazi to be so ruthless that he would kill all the descendants of the Su family in order to preserve the family line.

Although Mu Yazi was the leader of the Mang Sect, his cultivation level was only at the late stage of Qi Refining, which was even worse than Liu Xiong Yu's, let alone the current leader Hou Xian Bo.

Such a person can slaughter former Nascent Soul cultivators at will. I wonder what exactly happened to cause the Su family to fall into such a state.

No, there is another possibility.

Perhaps the Su family still has a strong foundation outside the two prefectures. The people Mu Ya Zi killed were just some remote bloodlines. After all, the Miao Yin Zhenren who controls the Zi Yin Cave is not a local of Zhang Ning Prefecture.

Now that the Purple Shade Cave has been revealed, Mu Ya Zi has never appeared.

Combined with the information obtained from Ma Wu—that the first two leaders of the Mang Cult both died unexpectedly.

Without a doubt, Mu Ya Zi is dead.

Moreover, his death was inextricably linked to Liu Xiong Yu.
