Ling Yun rushed out of the stone door and slaughtered the vampire bats with the Dragon Vein Sword and the Dragon Scale Knife. Black meat quickly piled up in front of him.
Nothing could get past Ling Yun with these weapons in hand, not even a mosquito!
The luminescent pearl shone through Ling Yun's front pocket and allowed him a good view of the surroundings. Not far away, there were five or six bodies lying on the cold rocks. They had clearly been engulfed by hoards of vampire bats. They had been eaten down to their bones.
Ling Yun shook his head in pity and waited for Little White to emerge before he kicked the button and closed the stone door.
The cave was just twenty meters from Ling Yun. He waved his weapons around casually and minced the vampire bats in his way. He soon arrived at the cave.
The vampire bats had only retreated about a hundred meters into the cave. The entrance was wide, but the cave became more narrow as they proceeded. Dense Dark Yin Qi filled the air.
Ling Yun stopped and looked back over his shoulders. There were no bats in sight, reinforcing Ling Yun's confidence that he was on the right path.
He held up the Dragon Vein Sword and the Dragon Scale Knife simultaneously and was delighted to find them still spotless.
Blood doesn't smear the blades! Ling Yun smiled as he put away the Dragon Vein Sword. He kept only the Dragon Scale Knife in his hands.
There were no other paths for Ling Yun to choose. He didn't encounter any other living or dead things that could pose a threat to him.
This cave had an inverted narrow angle which became steeper as Ling Yun traveled deeper. Ling Yun had walked for ten minutes and felt that he had descended another fifty to sixty meters.
It was luck that he had the luminescent pearl. He had no problems seeing ahead and moving forward.
This is not right! If my calculations are correct, this place is right underneath the place Earth Yin Grasses grow. Why isn't this the eye of the spell formation?
Ling Yun frowned in confusion. He didn't want to cultivate here since it wasn't at the eye of the formation, even though the Dark Yin Qi was already pure enough.
Let's head further downwards! Ling Yun stored away the Dragon Scale Knife and brought out the Emperor Brush instead. The path in front was too narrow to swing the knife.
Ling Yun continued with Little White. He soon heard the sound of water rumbling through the cave.
That's the underground river! It flows here! Ling Yun increased his pace. The Dark Yin Qi lessened as the sound of water amplified.
The temperature in the cave rose again. After another fifty meters, it became humid with water dripping down the rocks.
Sh*t, does this mean I have to head back to that place to cultivate? So frustrating… Ling Yun fumed slightly but decided to head to the end of the road since he had already made it to this point.
In another half an hour, the cave was no longer steep, but it was so narrow that he had to crawl on the wet rocks to move forward.
Ling Yun was a persistent person. He didn't believe that he had made the wrong judgement. He had to find the eye of the Yin-Yang Dragon Lock Spell!
He had a hard time crawling through the narrow cave. Ling Yun's heart sang as the sound of the majestic water became louder. He and Little White sped up.
Luckily, the cave became spacious again after a while. Towards the end, Ling Yun could stand at his full height and dashed to the end of the cave in less than a minute!
That had been the most arduous part of his exploration so far. He had taken more than an hour to reach this place from the stone room!
Hehe! So that's how it is! Ling Yun peeked down the bottomless pit at the end of the cave. The waterfall roared loudly. It poured down from a hundred meters above him!
We've descended at least another hundred meters! Ling Yun looked up and realized that this was the real mountain belly of Nancui Peak. He hadn't expected a bigger crater here!
Ling Yun picked up a fist-sized stone and wrapped a Fire Talisman onto it. He chanted the incarnation and threw it.
It's only thirty meters deep. The water monsters could not have surfaced if it was really bottomless!
Ling Yun smiled. He held the Emperor Brush in his right hand and picked up Little White in his left. He leapt down ten meters at a time to the protruding rocks and arrived at the bottom.
There was a huge lake.
I see! Ling Yun observed his surroundings and found a natural cave hidden from view behind the huge waterfall.
The center of the Yin eye of the Yin-Yang Dragon Lock Spell should be in that cave!
Ling Yun picked Little White up again in one hand and held the Emperor Brush in the other. He proceeded with caution as he climbed up with the help of the Emperor Brush. He reached the cave behind the wall of water in no time.
It's so f*cking cold!
The cold in the cave was biting and unforgiving. It was caused by the Dark Yin Qi emitted by the Yin-Yang Dragon Lock Spell. He couldn't help but be impressed by the caster of the Yin-Yang Dragon Lock Spell.
The cave was twenty meters high. Ling Yun used his Fire Talisman as a light source immediately. There was no need for him to skimp on the use of it now that he had reached his destination.
The cave was probably large enough to accommodate two trucks in parallel.
Ling Yun brought out his Dragon Scale Knife again to complement the Emperor Brush in case any Yin spirits appeared.
He also stuffed more luminescent pearls into his front pocket to aid his vision.
The center of the eye was almost vertically above him. Ling Yun had to head to where the Dark Yin Qi was the most dense.
Ling Yun was overjoyed as his goal became nearer. His eyes sparkled as he ran.
After more than ten minutes, Ling Yun reached a place where the Dark Yin Qi could almost condense in the air. The temperature was in the sub-zero range. Ling Yun was alright, but Little White couldn't take it.
Ling Yun stopped and smiled at Little White. "It's good for us to cultivate here. You can take the opportunity to generate some warmth by cultivating as well."
Little White nodded and started to cultivate. She regained a bit of warmth after a while.
Ling Yun still insisted on not absorbing the Dark Yin Qi at this point. He knew that he would reach the eye in another fifty meters and was not in any hurry.
With the Dragon Scale Knife and Emperor Brush in his hands, Ling Yun moved forward and suddenly found himself in yet another huge cave shaped like a pot's lid!
The temperature went down another few notches, and the Dark Yin Qi was so dense that it was almost smoldering. Ling Yun invoked the Yin-Yang harmony balance and finally began to absorb the absolutely pure Dark Yin Qi!
Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to reach the middle of the wide cave. There was a deep black pool.
Ling Yun told Little White through telepathy to stay where she was and wait for him. He then sat down beside the black pool.
He concentrated on the cultivation of the Yin-Yang harmony balance.
The pure Dark Yin Qi rushed into Ling Yun's body, traveled through his twelve principal meridians and gathered in his energy center.
Hours passed.
After nine full hours, Ling Yun felt that he had absorbed the optimal amount of Dark Yin Qi. It had reached a similar level as the Yang Qi accumulated in his body. He started to move the spiritual energy in his energy center.
The Yang Qi and Yin Qi in Ling Yun's energy center were initially separate and distinct. They were eventually mixed chaotically by the Yin-Yang harmony balance.
The opportunity was not to be missed. Ling Yun increased the Yin-Yang harmony balance so that the two opposing forces gradually became a vortex that only grew faster!
"It'll be ready soon!" Ling Yun exclaimed with happiness! But at that moment, he felt the immortal spiritual energy in his energy center going berserk!
Black and white colored immortal spiritual energy started to explode out from his energy center and devoured both the Yang and Yin Qi!
"F*ck! This is bad!" Ling Yun cried out, horrified!
