Chapter 356 - Hidden Cave (2/2)

Then again, it was not as if Young Master Xuan Hao had a better solution, so he could only stand aside and watch.

However, contrary to what Young Master Xuan Hao had expected, Lu Tianzi did not begin to just frenziedly dig into the cliff wall.

Instead, he slowly reached out with one hand, pressing it firmly against the rocky cliff wall.

What happened next caused everyone present to widen their eyes in disbelief.

Lu Tianzi's hand started to sink into the rocky cliff wall, as though he was pressing against a wall that was made of mud instead of rocks.

”What's going on?!” Ruan Ling exclaimed in shock.

”This...!” Young Master Xuan Hao could not hide his astonishment either.

Even Nanlan Qianxue could not help but snicker in surprise.

In fact, Lu Tianzi was just as surprised as the rest of them were.

He had guessed that there should be a way into the cliff wall, and was merely trying to figure out the method of entry.

Who knew that he would immediately chance upon the actual way in?

”Let's enter!” Lu Tianzi reached out towards Nanlan Qianxue with his other hand, and she took it without question.

Gripping her hand tightly, Lu Tianzi turned back and took one huge stride, his figure disappearing into the rocky cliff wall with Nanlan Qianxue in tow.

Left behind, Young Master Xuan Hao and Ruan Ling exchanged uncertain looks once again.

”Let's go too,” Young Master Xuan Hao said after a few moments of silence.

”Mm,” Ruan Ling swallowed her saliva nervously before she reluctantly agreed.

***

The rocky cliff wall seemed extremely thick and sturdy from the outside, but when Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue actually stepped through it, the wall actually felt as thin as paper.

With a single stride, they had already crossed over to the other side.

But even before they could see what the surroundings were like, they were slammed with an immense pressure that threatened to force them to their knees.

”Damn it!” Lu Tianzi cursed subconsciously as he immediately circulated his Origin Force through his body to alleviate the heavy pressure.

It was just like the immense pressure from the War Intent Cliff, only much stronger!

Lu Tianzi hurriedly took a look at Nanlan Qianxue, and was relieved to see that she was still able to resist the pressure, albeit with some difficulty.

”W-Where is this?” Nanlan Qianxue asked through gritted teeth, her pretty brows furrowed due to the pain.

”If I am not wrong, this should be the origin of the indentation at the War Intent Cliff,” Lu Tianzi shared his thoughts.

As he spoke, Lu Tianzi took a good look around.

They were in a rocky cave, with light entering from behind them. It was now apparent that the rocky cliff wall was nothing but an illusion, put in place to mask this cave from the outside world.

An narrow underground stream cut horizontally across the cave, dividing it into the outer and inner halves. There was also a huge tunnel that started from an awkward height of two metres, leading deep into the darkness.

But perhaps most importantly, this place was filled with an overwhelming amount of lingering Battle Intent!

This lingering Battle Intent in turn created the heavy pressure that bore down upon everyone within.

”The origin?” Nanlan Qianxue was surprised by what she heard. ”Here?”

”That's what I believe,” Lu Tianzi nodded. ”That would also explain why the pressure is even stronger here.”

At this point, Nanlan Qianxue could not bear it any longer.

She quickly sat down cross legged and closed her eyes, focusing all her energy and strength on resisting the pressure within the cave.

Her cultivation level was still rather low, so it was already quite impressive that she had been able to last this long.

At this moment, Young Master Xuan Hao and Ruan Ling finally stepped into the cave.

”Tch!” Ruan Ling anxiously channelled her Origin Force in defence upon feeling the onslaught of the immense pressure.

On the other hand, Young Master Xuan Hao was dumbstruck.

As a Sixth Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist, it was relatively easier for him to resist the pressure within the cave. Just like Lu Tianzi, he still had the luxury to look around.

”The lingering Battle Intent here... it is even stronger than that of the War Intent Cliff!” Young Master Xuan Hao said out loud in his excitement.

”Someone deliberately put up an illusion to hide the entrance? How selfish!” Ruan Ling complained.

”Haha, it is only natural,” Young Master Xuan Hao laughed. ”The War Intent Cliff is considered a sacred cultivation area, but this place is even better! On the other hand, it is nowhere near as large as the War Intent Cliff. If this place is made known to the public and everyone starts flocking over, it will never be able to accommodate everyone.”

”That's true...” Ruan Ling sulked.

”All right, let's not waste this chance opportunity and get cultivating!” Young Master Xuan Hao smiled. ”Look, Brother Tianzi and Sister Qianxue have already begun!”

Indeed, in this time where Young Master Xuan Hao and Ruan Ling were chatting, Lu Tianzi had found a spot to sit down and meditate.

Just as Young Master Xuan Hao had said, cultivating here was actually even more effective than cultivating at the War Intent Cliff.

On top of that, the fact that the cave was deliberately hidden meant that there had to be others who already knew of this place. And depending on their nature, there might be some complications if these people were to suddenly return.

Before that happened, Lu Tianzi wanted to make full use of every single moment to obtain as much benefits out of this place as possible!
