Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 528 Reunion at the Purple Shade Cave

"What is this place?"

Li Xiangming was shocked by what he saw. He couldn't count them all, but there were at least tens of thousands of graves nearby, almost covering the flat ground in front of him.

No, that's not all!

As the little fox continued to dart forward, Li Xiangming's view became even wider.

The earth seemed to have been plowed by some invisible force, with mounds rising in all directions, like a deathly wave spreading towards the horizon.

Before a few graves, a few eerie green will-o'-the-wisps flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. The night wind swept through the withered grass among the graves, making a rustling sound like a sob, sending chills down one's spine.

Li Xiangming finally stopped and squatted down in front of a nearby grave.

The tomb is relatively well-preserved, and instead of a rotten wooden plaque, it is topped with a stone tablet.

The inscription is very long and records the life of its owner.

Li Xiangming quickly found the content that interested him and read it aloud: "Su Lie was born in Xuanchang 763, a native of Tianci City. In 793, he returned to the divine tree."

Xuanchang seems to be the reign title of the Su clan's civilization!

Isn't Tianci City the ancient city ruins outside the Divine Court?
Li Xiangming subconsciously glanced at several nearby graves, all belonging to people from Tianci City, only their birth and death dates differed.

Of course, there are also tombstones nearby that record other birthplaces.

The inscriptions on tombstones vary greatly depending on the place and the person's experience; even the style of the tombstones and the specifications of the inscriptions differ.

But no matter how it changes, all the tombstones mention the same word: Shenmu Guizhen!

What is the sacred tree in Ziyin Cave?
Li Xiangming could only think of the enormous banyan tree in the center of the Divine Court.

The information he obtained from the illusions he encountered in the desert also indicated that the people of Ziyin Cave should be buried near the divine tree after death, no matter how hard it is. Could it be that he has already arrived in the area where the divine tree is located?

"Waaah! Waaah!"

The colorful little fox kept urging on, like a puppy whimpering.

Li Xiangming quickly followed.

If this place is indeed near the divine tree, then it is undoubtedly good news for him.

He would rather face the two Yellow Turban Warriors of the Divine Court than go up the Cliff of No Return and return to the underground palace to encounter the fake Miaoyin.

After walking for a while, the surrounding graves never stopped.

This shows the former glory of the Su civilization!
But now, Ziyin Cave is shrouded in silence.

Only a handful of people, including the fake Miaoyin and Su Qing, from the underground palace survived.

What is going on here?
With doubts in his mind, Li Xiangming finally left the graveyard and followed the little fox to a narrow river valley full of rocks.

The river here has long since dried up, and the dry soil is cracked beyond recognition.

However, the number of tree roots that are firmly planted in the soil is countless.

"It really is the location of the divine tree!"

Li Xiangming was secretly surprised. He recognized the origin of these tree roots at a glance, but they had spread so far and so deep that he still couldn't see the true face of the divine tree.

The little fox didn't care about anything else. With a "whoosh," it slipped into a crack in the pile of boulders in the valley and disappeared.

Li Xiangming followed closely behind.

The crevice in the rock leads directly to the underground riverbed, but the riverbed is not the destination!

The little fox wandered around for an unknown amount of time before finally stopping, looking exhausted.

Li Xiangming was also slightly out of breath. He could remember the complex waterways leading from Green Cloud Cave to the outside world, but the place the little fox had brought him to was even more complicated, leaving his mind somewhat confused.

"squeak!"

Just then, a short, piercing fox cry rang out.

A lightning-fast shadow appeared out of nowhere, hurtling towards Li Xiangming like a cannonball. Li Xiangming's eyes narrowed, and he leaped backward, simultaneously forming a hand seal and flicking his finger.

A cold glint shot out and disappeared into the shadows.

The dark figure immediately revealed its true form, fell to the ground, and let out a muffled groan.

It's another fox demon!
Li Xiangming immediately recognized his opponent, but held back the magical power he had gathered in his hands.

The little fox seemed to have not expected this scene. It rushed to the two-colored fox demon, which was half red and half yellow, and let out a series of whimpering sounds.

However, the two-colored fox demon pricked up its ears, leaned back, and bared its teeth at the spotted fox cub, its attitude extremely hostile. At the same time, its two tails suddenly throbbed, sending a cold glint towards Li Xiangming.

Li Xiangming was shocked and dodged to the side while keeping a close eye on the two-colored fox demon's every move.

Since he learned the Six Yin Divine Finger technique, he has never made a move unless he does, and when he does, he always achieves great results.

The reason is that the Six Yin Void Divine Finger is silent and extremely difficult to dodge. Once hit, both cultivators and demonic beasts will be invaded by the cold air and their condition will plummet.

The two-colored fox demon in front of him, despite being forced to the ground by his finger, was completely unharmed and even reflected the magic power carried by the Six Yin Void Divine Finger back at him, something he had never expected.

By the way, the little fox beside Su Qing is also able to protect itself from the Bone-Melting Yin Wind.
It seems I underestimated the monsters in the Purple Shade Cave!
Li Xiangming was on high alert, and the argument on the field was becoming increasingly intense.

The two-colored fox demon was very unhappy about the arrival of the spotted little fox. Before they could even exchange a word, flames erupted from its two tails and swept across the little fox.

The poor little fox was powerless to fight back and was swept away, crashing into the stone wall of the riverbed with a scream.

Li Xiangming's expression changed, and wisps of black smoke rose from his body.

Upon seeing this, the two-colored fox demon was stunned for a moment. When it came to its senses, its body was struck as if by lightning and it was sent flying backward.

Li Xiangming caught up in an instant, and several magical dragons appeared out of nowhere!

"squeak!!"

At the critical moment, the spotted little fox let out a sharp cry.

Li Xiangming frowned and reduced his strength by most. Even so, the two-colored fox demon was still knocked down in mid-air, scattering a series of blood droplets.

This is the advantage of Wind Release!

Li Xiangming gently floated down, unable to suppress a sigh of emotion.

The most basic and core part of the wind technique that Liu Xiongyu taught him was Wind Escape, which was as fast as Blood Escape.

In addition, there are two very powerful secret techniques. One of them is called "Heavenly Ear Wind Tracing," which can hear sounds from thousands of miles away, much more powerful than divine sense. The other is called "Spirit-Stealing Ghostly Breeze," which was created by the ancestors of the Su family based on the characteristics of bone-melting yin wind. Once used, it can briefly control the enemy's magic power.

Of course, both of these secret techniques are based on Wind Release. With his current level of Wind Release skill, he is not capable of studying them.

But even the basic Wind Release technique had already greatly benefited Li Xiangming.

It should be noted that the two-colored fox demon's cultivation was in no way inferior to his, but in the face of wind-escape techniques, she seemed to only be able to take a beating.

"Waaah!"

The spotted little fox stumbled to its feet, walked up to Li Xiangming, and began to nibble on his trouser leg.

Li Xiangming hesitated for a moment, then let the two-colored fox demon go and followed behind the little fox.

Soon, the view opened up before them.

This place has long since been separated from the riverbed, replaced by a smooth stone wall.

In the very center of the stone wall, a protruding fan-shaped stone platform stands out.

The little fox quickly climbed onto the stone platform and waved to Li Xiangming.

Li Xiangming flew up, his gaze momentarily stunned.

Before the stone platform, a massive bronze door was seamlessly embedded in the wall, with the three large characters "Purple Shade Cave" above it, captivating the eye.
