Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 349 - 171: Ling Xiaobai Advances, Reincarnation Ancient Cave (3)
"Could it be that the Shi, Chen, and Cen families are up to something, and something happened to Song Feng?"
Song Li’s eyes flickered with sharpness upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.
He shook his head and said, "It’s unlikely. Even if those families had multiple lives, they wouldn’t dare to touch Feng’er.
He might have been delayed by something important. In that case, you should postpone by a day and wait for him to return before going."
Right then, Song Ye shook his head immediately and said:
"No, this matter is of great importance. No matter how important his business is, it wouldn’t be more important than this.
Moreover, He Mingjin and Great Monarch Peng disappeared without reason before, so I suspect we’ve been targeted without knowing it.
Plus, I already gave him a Cave Mansion Layout Map today. If anything were to happen, wouldn’t other cultivators seize the opportunity?"
Upon hearing Song Ye’s words, Song Li pondered for a moment and then decided:
"Fine, you should go, and Cheng’er will accompany you."
Upon hearing this, Song Cheng questioned, somewhat puzzled:
"Father, didn’t you say my involvement would be too conspicuous?"
"That was then, this is now." Song Li waved his hand.
"Besides you, there isn’t a more suitable person at the moment, and your second uncle is right.
This matter is of utmost importance and is a rare opportunity for our Song Family.
As long as I’m not personally involved, those old guys won’t pay too much attention.
You should leave Thousand Illusion Island in batches."
"Alright, let’s meet at Shuiyun Island’s southeastern lake domain." Song Ye, being impatient, turned and left upon hearing this.
Song Cheng, upon hearing this, also didn’t say anything further.
The group left the Thousand Illusion Hall in batches, and they didn’t use the Teleportation Array either.
They all found relatively inconspicuous places and flew directly towards Shuiyun Island.
At this moment, near Shuiyun Island, Chu Ning had already expanded his search area to twenty li.
At this point, Ling Xiaobai suddenly exclaimed:
"Hmm, I sense something!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning stopped immediately and looked at Ling Xiaobai with joy.
The little one was now perched on Chu Ning’s shoulder, staring at a certain point below the lake surface.
"There seems to be a restriction fluctuation below, but it’s very faint; I’m not entirely sure."
Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately took the Cyan Light Bead out of his Storage Bag.
Then he submerged directly into the lake.
Encased by the light shield emitted by the Cyan Light Bead, Chu Ning slowly dove toward the bottom.
This bead not only wards off water but also provides illumination; it’s quite practical.
After diving about twenty zhang down, Ling Xiaobai’s voice rang out again.
"There is indeed a restriction ahead, towards the left front, and still further down."
Following Ling Xiaobai’s guidance, Chu Ning continued to dive forward and downward.
After another hundred and fifty zhang of descent, the lake bottom was no longer calm but had undercurrents.
Vaguely, various small peaks of differing heights could be seen below.
"It seems this was indeed a mountain range before, only later submerged to form a lake."
Chu Ning carefully observed the terrain, musing to himself.
Then, he turned to Ling Xiaobai and asked:
"Xiaobai, have you pinpointed the exact location?"
"I have!"
Ling Xiaobai’s voice held a hint of excitement.
"Move forward!"
Following this, Chu Ning moved forward another fifty zhang.
By now, he had reached the halfway point of a large mountain at the lake bottom. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"Stop, we’ve arrived!"
Just as Chu Ning was contemplating whether to bypass it, Ling Xiaobai suddenly spoke up.
Chu Ning immediately halted, gazing forward while extending his Divine Sense to sense ahead.
The mountain ahead was vast, extending downwards beyond sight, likely spanning a hundred to two hundred zhang deep, and upwards nearly seventy to eighty zhang.
Before the lake formed, this mountain was likely a towering peak of almost three hundred zhang.
"This indeed is a good place to set up a Cave Mansion."
As this thought crossed Chu Ning’s mind, Ling Xiaobai spoke again:
"Left downwards twenty zhang is where I sense the restriction entrance."
Guided by Ling Xiaobai, Chu Ning reached a small platform on the mountain, his eyes lighting up.
In front of him stood a stone gate cave entrance.
Even if Ling Xiaobai hadn’t mentioned it, Chu Ning could sense the significant restriction fluctuation ahead.
"Xiaobai, do you sense anything unusual? Should we go in directly?"
The little one tilted his head, carefully sensing for a moment, then said:
"This restriction isn’t big, but it’s deep, and I can’t sense inside. Shall I go in first?"
"Alright!"
Chu Ning was just about to agree when his gaze suddenly flickered, looking upwards.
He rapidly extended his Divine Sense, expanding it another hundred zhang towards the lake surface.
The next moment, Chu Ning quickly retracted his Divine Sense, his expression slightly changing.
"Song Ye? Why is he here, and with a few others.
They’re coming towards the lake bottom; could the Song Family have already pinpointed this Cave Mansion’s location?"
Thinking this, Chu Ning immediately said to Ling Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai, there’s no time; we need to enter directly."
If on land, Chu Ning would choose to hide and let the Song Family enter first.
If danger arose, others could deal with it first.
But here, nearly two hundred zhang deep underwater, he had to rely on the Cyan Light Bead; even using Forbidden God Technique and concealing Qi,
The Cyan Light Bead’s magical power fluctuation would still be detected by the other party.
Rather than risk it, it was better to go inside first.
Hearing Chu Ning, Ling Xiaobai cast a white light from one horn, covering Chu Ning immediately.
Chu Ning promptly put away the Cyan Light Bead.
In the next moment, Ling Xiaobai directly drilled into the stone gate restriction, taking Chu Ning with him out of sight.
Meanwhile, above the lake surface, the descending Song Ye’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked Song Cheng at his side:
"Did you sense another cultivator’s Divine Sense scan us just now?"
