On the other hand, Yu Liang's feelings were much more complicated.

He knew that Ji Canghai was no ordinary person; he knew it from the day he deduced that this person would suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

Even so, he never expected that this person would be so powerful.

After that attack, Yu Liang even felt a faint tremor in his heart.

The palpitations did not come from the depletion of spiritual energy, but from an instinctive alertness.

It's like having a fierce tiger standing in front of you; even if the tiger doesn't show any hostility, it's enough to make you tense all over.

This feeling is something that even someone in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm might not be able to give him, let alone someone in the middle stages.

What level of cultivation has he reached?

Yu Liang realized that he couldn't make a accurate judgment.

"Come on, let's continue!"

Han Jianghe's loud shout interrupted Yu Liang's thoughts.

He was at the height of his confidence, and couldn't wait to break through the shield and rush in to loot the treasures.

"it is good."

Yu Liang responded, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart.

Now is not the time to think about those things; breaking into the cave is the most important thing.

Then, the five of them activated their spiritual power again.

This time, without any verbal prompting, the five beams of light shot into the sky once again and converged at a single point.

The enormous beam of light was more concentrated and more dazzling than before.

Accompanied by a muffled hum,

It crashed into the blue shield that was already covered in cracks once again.

"Boom—!"

Another loud bang, and this time, the blue light shield could no longer hold and shattered.

Countless blue fragments flew in all directions.

The moment the shield shattered, a terrifying energy shockwave erupted.

The shockwave spread wildly outwards like a tsunami from the location of the shield.

The shockwave's aftershocks stretched for dozens of miles, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.

Several surrounding mountain peaks were also cut in half by this terrifying force, causing rocks to crumble, dust to fly, and the sky to be obscured.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, everyone was finally able to see what was inside.

The main peak, which had been shrouded in a blue shield, was now visible.

It was now completely exposed to everyone's eyes.

The main peak wasn't particularly high; its summit was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the entrance to an ancient cave dwelling could be vaguely seen beneath it.

It stands there quietly.

Yu Liang's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Quickly! Go in and search the cave immediately."

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes!

Upon hearing this, everyone moved swiftly and rushed towards the cave.

In just a few breaths, the group arrived at the entrance of the cave.

The gate, several meters high, was now slowly and automatically opening.

In a flash, the group rushed into the cave.

As soon as we entered the cave, the view opened up before us.

It was indeed a hidden paradise inside.

Looking around, one could see that the cave was actually a huge lake.

The lake was wide and its water was as clear as a mirror, with a layer of white mist swirling around its surface.

It makes the entire lake look like a fairyland.

The lake is filled with spiritual energy, and every breath makes one feel refreshed.

In the center of the lake is an island.

The island is not large, about a hundred feet in circumference.

The island is covered in lush green grass and blooming flowers.

That flower was no ordinary plant either; its petals were large and white as jade, clearly indicating that it was an extremely precious spiritual plant.

In the very center of the island in the lake stands a pavilion.

The pavilion had three floors and was entirely constructed of an unidentified white jade, making it exquisite and elegant.

However, when everyone scanned the surface of the pavilion with their divine senses, they discovered that it seemed to be protected by a special kind of restriction.

Once the divine sense gets close, it is gently repelled and cannot penetrate it.

Han Jianghe did not rush forward.

He stood by the lake, squinting as he carefully examined the island in the middle of the lake and the pavilion.

A moment later, he turned his head and instructed one of his Nascent Soul Realm subordinates, "You, go and scout ahead."

"Yes."

Without the slightest hesitation, the subordinate bowed and accepted the order.

He transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the island in the center of the lake.

In just a few breaths, he landed steadily on the island in the middle of the lake.

The man waited on the island for a while, then circled the attic again, confirming that nothing was amiss.

Seeing that his subordinate was unharmed

Han Jianghe was finally relieved.

With a swift movement, he was the first to rush out.

Yu Liang, not to be outdone, followed closely behind.

The two elders of the Yu family quickly followed, while the three guards lagged behind.

On the contrary, Lin Feng flew the slowest, hanging at the very end of the group at a leisurely pace, as if everything in this cave had nothing to do with him.

This is true.

Just now, he had used his divine sense to thoroughly scan the entire pavilion.

To his disappointment, there was nothing else in the attic except for a jade coffin.

As for the rumored treasure, it is most likely inside that jade coffin.

However, he wasn't in a hurry.

The group quickly entered the attic.

The attic doesn't look big from the outside, but it's quite spacious inside.

The first-floor hall was several tens of feet in circumference, with smooth, mirror-like white jade bricks paving the floor and exquisite patterns carved on the surrounding walls.

In the very center of the hall, there was a coffin.

The surface has no unnecessary decorations.

The jade coffin was faintly illuminated by flowing light, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

Han Jianghe and Yu Liang exchanged a glance, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes.

"The treasures will be divided equally; my Han family has no need for cultivation techniques."

Han Jianghe spoke first.

He spoke these words with great magnanimity, as if the cultivation technique was worthless in his eyes.

But Yu Liang knew that the Han family had inherited the sect's most treasured cultivation technique from the Nanhua Sect, a legacy once considered sacred.

With such a vast array of martial arts skills, the family naturally has no shortage of techniques.

They really wouldn't even look at ordinary cultivation techniques.

Yu Liang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

He had thought it through very clearly.

Although the Yu family does not have a complete lineage like the Han family, their clan's cultivation techniques are sufficient.

In the current situation, further conflict is pointless.

Let's divide the treasures first.

Back in the day, the Nanhua Sect was one of the most renowned holy sites, but it has since declined.

But those are all old stories; the most important thing right now is this coffin.

Han Jianghe and Yu Liang stepped forward at the same time and placed their hands on the lid of the jade coffin.

As spiritual energy was poured into it, a faint blue light shone through the crack with a "click".

The coffin lid was completely opened.

The moment the coffin lid was opened, an indescribable, exotic fragrance wafted out.

Everyone craned their necks to look, and saw a storage ring and a lifelike corpse inside the coffin.

The corpse was wearing a blue Taoist robe, had a beautiful face, and looked to be no more than twenty years old.

She lay quietly in the coffin, her hands folded over her chest, her face rosy and her expression peaceful, as if she were simply asleep.

There was no sign of life on its body.
