Chapter 61

After closing the stone door, Chu Feng could still sense the aura inside the passage. Only after confirming that Su Mei and the others had left did he feel at ease and come to the top of the cliff.

Following the vines, Chu Feng began to climb down toward the misty sea. As he approached the mist, he spread out his mental energy, but found that the mist contained strange gases that could interfere with his mental energy, making it impossible to penetrate.

Especially after entering the mist, the white haze blocked his vision, and even with Chu Feng's strength, his visible range did not exceed ten meters.

However, fortunately, after diving several dozen meters into the mist, he finally reached the bottom. Although the mist was still present, the feeling of stepping on the rocks made Chu Feng's heart, which had been on edge, finally settle down.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Chu Feng took out the Boundary Spirit Compass, and it immediately emitted a brilliant light, increasing his visible range several times. The light from this object was truly peculiar, as if it could penetrate the mist, making it a truly extraordinary treasure for exploration.

"It seems this place is indeed fraught with danger."

Looking at the indication on the Boundary Spirit Compass, Chu Feng quickly knew the direction he needed to go, but he also knew that there were countless hidden dangers around, and a single misstep could be fatal.

Fortunately, he had the Boundary Spirit Compass in hand; otherwise, with his strength, entering such a place would truly be fraught with danger, and even nine lives would not be enough.

Holding the Boundary Spirit Compass, walking in the misty underground, Chu Feng could vaguely hear the roars of fierce beasts in the distance, as well as extremely strange cries, even the agonized moans and cries for help of people.

The closer he went, the denser and closer these sounds became. Eventually, Chu Feng could even see some recently devoured corpses.

Feeling the oppressive aura and hearing the roars of fierce beasts not far away, which were even stronger than the Ninth Rank Spirit Martial experts, these were Ninth Rank fierce beasts.

It was said that Ninth Rank fierce beasts were the strongest level of fierce beasts. Those stronger than fierce beasts were spirit beasts, which, though they did not kill indiscriminately, had cultivation abilities far surpassing fierce beasts and possessed intelligence not inferior to humans, and in some cases, even stronger. Most importantly, spirit beasts were very powerful, born strong, and were the noblest bloodline among beasts. It was said that even a newborn spirit beast had innate strength at the Essence Martial Realm.

Powerful spirit beasts could even speak human language and transform into human form. Some spirit beasts, disliking the deep mountains and forests, would transform into human form and enter human society, living a life like humans, truly living up to the word "spirit."

This place was fraught with danger. Thinking of the strength of the late Elder Yuxuan, Chu Feng did not doubt that he would have captured a few spirit beasts and thrown them here, binding them somewhere.

However, fortunately, after walking cautiously for a full hour, the dense mist gradually thinned, and finally, the clouds parted to reveal the sun, and he walked out of the mist.

"Phew, finally out."

At this moment, even Chu Feng could not help but let out a long sigh of relief, as the previous misty land was like hell, making one feel extremely oppressed.

"Damn, how large is this tomb of Elder Yuxuan?"

Looking up, Chu Feng could not help but feel a bit helpless. What appeared before him was not the treasure he had expected, but another deep passage.

However, this passage was very wide and bright, with a grand and majestic atmosphere. Following the passage, Chu Feng again smelled a strong, pungent blood smell.

The smell was so strong that even Chu Feng's mental energy could not detect it, but the smell had already wafted over. Holding the Boundary Spirit Compass, he found no signs of danger ahead and proceeded with peace of mind.

The further he went, the stronger the blood smell became, and eventually, it even made him feel nauseous. When Chu Feng entered another grand hall, he was stunned by the scene before him.

This grand hall had several passages, and the number of passages was the same as those seen at the entrance, indicating that no matter which passage one took, as long as they could pass through the misty sea, they would eventually arrive here.

However, apart from these passages, in the center of the grand hall, there was a ladder leading upward, with no visible end, clearly the path to continue forward.

But the most important thing was that the grand hall was densely packed with corpses, people from various forces, and it was evident that they were all strong, even Essence Martial Realm experts. The most numerous were the people of the Qianfeng Sect, showing that they had indeed made a significant effort for this tomb.

However, the most peculiar thing was that among so many corpses, there was not a single person from the Qinglong Sect, and their deaths were very tragic, not like they had died in a simple battle.

Although the scene before him was suspicious, Chu Feng did not want to speculate too much. With the Boundary Spirit Compass in hand, as long as the compass indicated that the place was safe, there was likely no danger. So, Chu Feng stepped over the sea of corpses and began to climb the high ladder.

However, before reaching the top, Chu Feng heard two voices, which he could vaguely identify as two elders. The content of their conversation made Chu Feng involuntarily rejoice.

At the end of the high ladder was a peculiar room. It was called peculiar because the room's structure was very special, and it was filled with a faint, visible gas.

In the room stood two people. One was an elder with white hair and a youthful face, emitting an extremely terrifying aura, clearly a Profound Martial Realm expert.

The other wore a white robe, covered in intricate runes, and his face was hidden, revealing only a pair of eagle-like, sharp eyes. This person was actually the Boundary Spirit Master of the Qinglong Sect, Elder Zhuge.

However, both of them were standing still, their hands raised high, their faces showing signs of great effort, as the ceiling of the room was actually descending.

The ceiling was made of metal but emitted a cold aura and was extremely heavy. If they did not struggle to support it, they would surely be crushed into a pulp.

"Truly worthy of being the head of the Qianfeng Sect. If it weren't for you, I would probably be unable to resist this cold iron," Elder Zhuge said with a smile.

"Damn it, who are you? Using the lives of the Qianfeng Sect's elders to break the great array is too despicable," the head of the Qianfeng Sect said angrily, still furious when he thought of the previous scene.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that we must work together to break this cold iron, or we will both be buried here," Elder Zhuge said with a smile.

"Do you want me to cooperate with you? Not a chance!" The head of the Qianfeng Sect snorted coldly, not trusting the despicable mysterious person before him.

"I think you came here for wealth. There's no need to lose our lives over past unpleasantness. Now, the Levitation Technique is right before us. Don't you want to obtain it?"

As Elder Zhuge spoke, he cast his gaze toward a corner of the room, where there was a delicate jade platform. On the platform floated a crystal-like object.

Although the object was semi-transparent, it emitted a faint glow, and the few characters carved on the jade platform clearly indicated what it was: the ultimate technique of Elder Yuxuan, the Levitation Technique!
