C72 Mang Tian Lei (1/2)
”Master …” Li Ye gently called out to Qing Yijue, but there was no response. Was it because of Hun Yan's last punch, that caused Qing Yijue to be injured and was now in deep sleep?
When he remembered that he had fallen into Zang Yunyuan, he did not expect that he actually did not die from the fall. He did not know how many days had passed since then, and what had happened to Jing Yue and the Viridescent Eagle.
Li Ye slowly stood up from the ground. His body was so weak right now, he couldn't even tremble when he stood up. In the forest behind him, the Leopard saw that the humanoid being in front of it was extremely weak, raised its courage and slowly walked out, then pounced towards Li Ye!
”Go, little cheetah, play on the side!” With a wave of his hand, Li Ye released a streak of spirit energy and pushed the little cheetah to the side. Although he was heavily injured, it was not enough to become the food of a vicious beast.
When the Leopard was about to be pushed away, it turned around and fled in fright. This time, it did not choose to stay behind the tree to observe, but actually escaped. To its knowledge, there was no such strange creature in the valley. It must not provoke this unknown creature.
After the Leopard escaped, Li Ye squatted down and washed his face by the stream. The cool stream water splashed on his face, instantly making him feel refreshed. The pain on his body also eased a lot.
The stream was crystal clear, there were no fishes or prawns in the water, and in the water, Li Ye found a trace of a strange place. The water was actually mixed with thick spirit energy of heaven and earth, making the stream water even more viscous.
No wonder he felt refreshed when he smacked his face with water. He was using the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to wash his face, how could he not feel refreshed?
But Li Ye was curious, why was there such a dense amount of Spirit Qi mixed in the stream, was there anything different about the water?
With that thought in mind, Li Ye first breathed in and out on the spot, and after his body was slightly better, he slowly walked towards the upstream of the stream.
The valley was long and narrow, and the stream was winding along the narrow terrain. Li Ye followed the stream and went forward, after a while, they arrived at the mouth of the cave, where the water was flowing out.
Li Ye observed from around the cave entrance that there was more and more heaven and earth spirit energy mixed within the stream. Furthermore, the deeper he went, the denser the spirit energy became.
Li Ye walked into the cave. The interior of the cave was very spacious, and inside was what seemed like a stalactite cave. Drops of water continuously dripped into the stream. This stream was a hidden channel, and the droplets of stalactite were condensed from the purest Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Looking at all this, Li Ye was confused. Why would the stalactite gather the spirit energy of heaven and earth? Furthermore, the degree of condensation was so high that it had even liquefied into a water drop.
With that thought in mind, Li Ye continued to walk inside. He did not know why, but the cave was not dark, on the contrary, the water surface was sparkling, illuminating the cave.
After about fifty meters into the cave, a circular cave space suddenly appeared in front of him. In the center of the circular cave space, there was actually a white skeleton sitting cross-legged!
Seeing that, Li Ye's eyes widened, as he carefully observed everything. Above the white skeleton was a glass-coloured stalactite. Droplets of water gathered at the tip of the stalactite and dripped onto the skull, then were absorbed by the skull.
Under the nourishment of the dense spiritual energy, the white bone became almost transparent like jade, as if it were an immortal bone. At the time, he was still in the Soul Sovereign era. In the mortal world, there was a type of secret method, which allowed heavily injured people to rely on the constant nourishment of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to heal their bodies, but in order to reach that degree of thickness of Spiritual Energy, one had to build a great array. The formation had long ago worn off in history, but he never would have thought that a complete Spirit Gathering great array would still be preserved in this place.
Li Ye made a guess. The master of the white bones in front of him, had probably been heavily injured at the time in order to recover. Perhaps it was because of his injuries or some other reason, but he still died in the end. Although the owner of the white bone was dead, it had been nourished into a jade by the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.
Suddenly, Li Ye thought about it, if this jade bone was used to recreate Qing Yijue's body, would the effects be better? Bone jade showed that there were very few impurities within it. If it was used to reconstruct the body, the body would be even more smooth and would be more suitable for cultivation.
Thinking about it, Li Ye kept the jade bone into his storage ring. After the jade bone disappeared, Li Ye saw a few lines of words written on the rock underneath the jade bone.
”If the Heavenly Tomb Pavilion is destroyed, my soul will not die, and my bones will not die. There will definitely be a messenger in the future to revive the Heavenly Tomb Pavilion's prestige!” Li Ye could read the small words on the stone. The words on it were already long gone, and the words themselves did not seem like the words they used now, but they looked like some kind of ancient writing, although Li Ye could still recognize them. He used to be a Soul Sovereign cultivator, and had lived for many years, so he had some understanding of the various words in the world.
”I didn't think that this would be where the senior of the Heavenly Tomb Pavilion fell.” After Li Ye finished reading that line of small words, he muttered to himself with a tinge of regret.
