Chapter 106 The Struggle
Everyone went crazy and rushed forward together. This dojo was vast and filled with radiant light, and its treasures were astonishing.
Although it is located at the bottom of the sea, this cave is dry and clean, devoid of water, and filled with a misty, precious aura.
"boom!"
A stone door opened, runes flew about, and brilliant light filled the view. On the stone table were jade pots and jade cups, flowing with radiant light. Dozens of powerful figures reached out and grabbed at them.
This is likely a fine wine left behind by Kunpeng, no ordinary thing. The wine it drinks is mostly divine nectar; a single sip can extend one's lifespan by many years and increase one's cultivation.
Once you reach that level, what divine treasures can't you obtain? The ingredients used for brewing wine might be sacred medicines, and you might even incorporate some elixirs and powders.
You must know that this is Kunpeng, one of the Ten Fiends of the Primordial Era, a truly invincible giant throughout the ages, whose wine is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Bang!"
The powerful techniques of dozens of experts collided, causing a burst of intense light to erupt from the area, engulfing the quiet room in a vast expanse of darkness.
Runes flew everywhere, magical artifacts clashed, and people fought fiercely. This was Kunpeng's cave. Any other place would have been a scene of mountains collapsing and tsunamis crashing down long ago.
The ancient runes had not lost their power, protecting the entire training ground and ensuring its perpetual existence. These people were also thankful that there were no dangerous restrictions here, otherwise they would have been in grave danger.
"Sacred wine!"
"We joined forces, stormed in, and seized it."
More people discovered the situation and flocked to the scene, their magical artifacts flying and raining down upon the area, making the battle even more terrifying.
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
Someone shouted. It was an old man with gray hair and beard. With a wave of his sleeve, a loud boom rang out, and runes filled the sky, sending a group of people flying. More than a dozen of them crashed into the stone wall and turned into bloody mud.
The old man stepped into the cave and roared at the dozens of powerful figures. On the spot, more than a dozen people were knocked unconscious, which shocked everyone.
"This is most likely... a venerable one!" someone shouted.
That level of existence is truly invincible. As soon as they appear, even the great ancient kingdoms will tremble and dare not offend them easily. They are too terrifying.
Such figures usually reside on overseas divine islands or ancient giant mountains, rarely venturing out, possessing profound and terrifying abilities.
"He's not a Venerable One; he's still one step away."
As they were talking, another old man appeared. His descendants were fighting over something, and they had come to the scene to begin their duel.
"boom!"
A massive collision unfolded, filling the cave with precious light. Many powerful figures were forced back, all trembling in fear at the impact of the two old men, each striving to protect themselves.
"Is there really ancient wine left over from the Kunpeng era? If it can be preserved to this day, that would be truly miraculous. Let me take a look."
Just then, a golden halberd appeared, its powerful energy causing the area to surge like a vast ocean, its light surging like waves, engulfing the cave.
Everyone's expression changed. The newcomer was incredibly powerful, his eyes like cold lightning, sweeping over everyone like a god looking down on all directions.
It was Shi An. His power and terror were known to all, and no one wanted to provoke him. Even true venerable ones were wary of him here.
The golden halberd trembled, runes surged forth, and the powerful figures cried out. On the spot, eight or nine people were instantly torn apart, blood gushing out, before they fell backward into the quiet room.
They were too strong. Even if all of them attacked together, they couldn't stop them. Even the two old men changed color and chose to avoid their sharp edge.
Shi An strode over, indifferently surveying the crowd. He reached out and grabbed, and no one dared to stop him. The jade pot on the stone table flowed with a crystal-clear light, almost transparent.
"There really is wine inside; you can pour out a cup."
Once the darkness subsided and the runes stopped flashing, people could see what was inside the pot and exclaimed in surprise.
However, Shi An remained quite calm. Even though he knew that it was a genuine divine liquid with the power to bring the dead back to life, he simply reached out and grabbed the jade pot in his hand.
After all, he inherited everything from the True Immortal. This little thing was nothing but a trinket in his eyes. He had something better in his Purple Spirit Domain, but it was too advanced for him to use.
Seeing that Shi An had collected the divine liquid, the two old men looked at each other and sighed, then turned and left without looking back.
They knew very well that no matter how strong they were, they would never be a match for Shi An here, and if they went up to attack head-on, they would most likely perish here.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shi Hao was also scavenging around with a little golden monkey.
"Ah, how terrifying! Even kings and nobles died after going in! It's truly horrifying!"
Just then, a commotion broke out on the other side, and a group of people screamed and fled for their lives.
There, dark light surged, and a thick fog enveloped the area. A group of people fled, and behind them, swarms of people fell, their bodies turning black, then turning into pus and blood, dying a violent death.
The scene was somewhat frightening; hundreds of people lay on the ground, their bodies turned to dust, and the dark light seemed to be spreading outwards.
"There was a medicine furnace inside, but we didn't find the elixir. Instead, a dark light emanated from the furnace, indicating a highly poisonous substance."
Hearing the exclamations of the escapees, Shi An frowned slightly, then took out the Divine Illumination Lamp that he had just taken from the two old men.
"Phew~"
The next moment, with a gentle blow, the wick that had burned for millennia and never gone out suddenly blazed brightly again. Then, the flames spread like a sea, quickly engulfing the dark light and completely purifying it.
This scene shocked all living beings present. It truly lived up to its name as the Divine Illumination Lamp, a renowned and ancient magical artifact.
"True Dragon Sacred Medicine, this should be a batch of True Dragon Pills that Kunpeng refined, but it failed in the end. He didn't deal with it, and it turned into a poison pill."
The dark light dissipated, and everyone could see what was in the furnace—a batch of pills—but unfortunately, it was a failure.
Even so, everyone was still horrified, after all, that was an ancient true dragon! What a powerful pure-blooded creature it was, to be captured and put into the furnace to refine medicine. Kunpeng truly deserves to be one of the Ten Fiends!
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, an old man in gray robes in the crowd began to show an uncertain expression.
It was the Venerable Jiao. As a member of the Jiao clan, he naturally had a more acute sense than others and was certain that a real Jiao had been boiled into poison.
Finally, when the dark light dissipated and everyone else had left, he vanished in a flash, cautiously stealthily making his way inside.
"You still want it even though it's poisonous? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
But before he could get close to the poison pill, a calm voice suddenly rang in his ears. Then he saw his target being gently lifted up by a fair hand. The owner of that hand was none other than Shi An.
Suddenly, he appeared in front of the Dragon Venerable, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.
Upon seeing this, the Flood Dragon Venerable's expression changed drastically. He never expected that Shi An would also take a liking to this poison pill.
However, considering the other party's strength in this area, he ultimately suppressed his thoughts and forced a smile, saying, "So it's you, young friend!"
"Young friend, you may have misunderstood. I only wished to bring this back to my clan because it was the transformed form of an elder of my Jiao clan, so that his soul could return to his homeland."
"Now that you have taken a liking to it, young friend, it is truly an opportunity for our clan's elders."
As he spoke, Venerable Jiao transformed into a streak of gray light and sped away into the distance.
Watching the departing figure of the Jiao Venerable, Shi An did not stop him. Instead, he stored the poison pill in the Shebi Corpse Cave and continued his exploration.
