Chapter 1013: Chapter 1010: Entrapped
"What’s wrong?"
As Qin Yanyang was cultivating, Yang Fei looked around, trying to find more of these Purple Crystal Stones.
Seeing Qin Yanyang open her eyes right after breathing and exhaling once, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried and asked.
Suppressing her inner excitement, Qin Yanyang said, "Yang Fei, this is a treasure. I only breathed and exhaled once and felt it’s even more effective than cultivating a circulation at Yunwu Mountain’s Base."
Yang Fei was startled, "Really? That’s an exaggeration, isn’t it?"
"If you don’t believe me, try it." Qin Yanyang replied.
Yang Fei, still skeptical, tried once, and found the result to be exactly as Qin Yanyang described.
Not only that, he was shocked to discover the spiritual energy inhaled during this breathing exercise had very few impurities, was highly pure, and its strength was comparable to, or even greater than, the power elements he later absorbed during cultivation.
"This thing is indeed a treasure." Yang Fei said happily.
Qin Yanyang gave a contented nod and excitedly said, "No wonder those Outer Realm Cultivators want to take the entire mountain range away; it’s actually a Treasure Mountain filled with a massive amount of minerals."
"Exactly. There must be plenty of this ore in the mountain range, with these resources, the realm advancement speed of Earth’s cultivators will surely accelerate considerably." Yang Fei said joyfully.
Qin Yanyang was also extremely excited, saying, "Ever since those Outer Domain cultivators appeared, I felt overwhelmingly repressed, just feeling that we Earth cultivators are too weak compared to them. But now it seems, this gap can be narrowed."
"Yes, as long as this ore vein is extracted, not to mention cultivators worldwide getting stronger, those of Divine Continent could surely experience several heights of elevation." Yang Fei said.
Qin Yanyang’s expression changed slightly and she said with some worry, "This isn’t the Divine Continent."
Yang Fei knew her concerns and thought for a moment before saying boldly, "Now the sea has changed into mulberry fields, and mountains have crumbled, the entire Earth’s terrestrial and marine appearance has greatly changed. I say this is our territory, and it is. Since ancient times, it’s always been survival of the fittest; the capable occupies. Now is the Cultivation Era, when we, as a couple, combine forces, we are invincible. Who dares to contend with us for this place?"
Qin Yanyang too felt a surge of enthusiasm at his words.
Such rich cultivation resources, as they were discovered first by us, they are ours.
"Those Outer Realm Cultivators also know this is a Treasure Mountain, they might go back and bring reinforcements." Qin Yanyang said worriedly.
Yang Fei’s heart also sank.
Compared to Earth’s various forces, what he worries about most is the invasion of Outer Domain cultivation forces.
Since the last battle at Yunwu Mountain, the cultivation warriors from Heaven and Penglai Realm, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang no longer take seriously.
After all, the cultivation realm of both has elevated a notch, self-assured that those in the Divine Travel Realm pose no threat.
However, they witnessed firsthand the might of those Exotic Realm cultivators.
The key point is, what level are these Outer Domain cultivators in their world?
If these people are the strongest, then that’s easy to say, both believe it’s not difficult to catch up with them.
But if these people are only of mid to low-level realms in their cultivation world, it would suffocate and depress them.
Once a large number of cultivators from that powerful cultivation world come to Earth, humanity will be like ants, with no means to guard Earth’s resources.
After a moment, Yang Fei dispelled the depressive feelings and said, "Don’t think too much. Things will resolve themselves as we come to them, step by step. Let’s keep looking, see if we can discover other treasures. Didn’t you notice the ancient text ’White Jade City’ at the cave entrance? Perhaps this is the cultivation cave mansion of an ancient Cultivation Expert, maybe we’ll find formidable secret manuals here?"
Qin Yanyang smiled upon hearing this, also gathering her thoughts, nodding, "Yes, let’s not scare ourselves. First, we need to understand why this world has become like it is now, and adapt to this Earth before anything else."
After securing the Purple Spirit Crystal, the two continued forward.
With the experience of this piece of Purple Spirit Crystal, the two became more meticulous along the way and discovered several more glowing crystals emitting faint light.
These crystals were mostly white, varied in size, and the majority were only as large as a pinky, the largest no more than an egg.
Moreover, although these crystals also contained a significant amount of spiritual elements, after cultivation perception, the two found that the spiritual energy within these crystals compared to the spiritual energy inside the initially obtained Purple Spirit Crystal was simply pale in comparison.
Continuing like this, as they pressed forward in the cavern, they unintentionally unearthed over a dozen crystal stones.
Yang Fei felt his pack getting heavier and couldn’t help but say, "Stop digging, there are too many of these crystals inside the mountain, we can’t carry too much now, they’re too heavy."
Qin Yanyang, having only one Purple Crystal Stone in her backpack, long felt the pack was at least two or three times heavier than before, and hearing Yang Fei say this, nodded, "Right, we can’t carry that much, let’s stop digging and explore the entire cave mansion, who knows, there might be more valuable treasures ahead."
The two continued deeper into the cave, and soon, a fork appeared up ahead.
Yang Fei stopped, his expression became more serious, grabbing Qin Yanyang, "Don’t go yet."
Qin Yanyang asked puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
Yang Fei gazed at the dual cave entrances, scanning the surroundings carefully, attempting to find something, but discovered nothing.
Yet from within those two caves, there seemed to be a tremendous allure constantly assaulting their souls.
Qin Yanyang’s eyes showed a trace of greed.
But quickly, she shook her head vigorously, took a deep breath, and said, "There is something strange about these caves."
Yang Fei said, "You noticed too?"
Qin Yanyang said gravely, "It feels like there’s some sort of magic inside, tempting me to go it’s actually making me almost lose my state of mind."
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, there’s something peculiar about the two caves. I can vaguely sense some ancient charm talisman aura, but when observing closely, nothing can be found but an illusion seems to arise."
Qin Yanyang’s heart stirred, looking at the two caves again, surprised, "Hey, earlier I distinctly felt a strong allure, compelling me to move forward, why does that feeling disappear now? If it wasn’t so overwhelming earlier, I would think it’s just my imagination."
Yang Fei stared at the dual cave entrances, scrutinizing meticulously for a long time, eventually yielding to retreat, "Let’s not advance yet, wait until my Realm is higher and Rune Tao improves, then we’ll explore again."
Though Qin Yanyang felt somewhat unwilling, she chose caution, agreeing, "Alright, next time, let’s leave first."
Just as the two were about to leave, the flashlight shone on the coming turn, their pupils shrank instantly.
The path from before had transformed into two cave entrances.
