Chapter 6

This is a round yin-yang fish jade pendant, half of it emitting a hazy white glow, while the other half is shrouded in black mist. The yin and yang forces on the jade pendant continuously interact, exuding an ancient and timeless aura, as if it had existed since the beginning of the world.

A mysterious force made the yin-yang fish jade pendant float between the middle-aged man's hands.

Gu Fei reached out and grabbed the jade pendant floating between the middle-aged man's hands. The cave immediately darkened as his palm blocked the light source, making the cave pitch black.

"How amazing!" Gu Fei exclaimed. This small jade pendant was the only light source in the vast cave. Such a miraculous object must be extraordinary.

Opening his palm, a hazy light spread from Gu Fei's hand, illuminating the dark cave and dispelling the darkness.

Upon closer inspection, the yin-yang fish on the jade pendant seemed to be naturally formed. Holding it in his hand, a warm sensation seeped into Gu Fei's palm, greatly reducing his chill.

There was a small hole on the yin-yang fish jade pendant, suggesting that it was originally attached to a chain or something similar and worn around the neck. However, now only the jade pendant remained.

Gu Fei looked at the jade pendant, thought for a moment, and then tore off strips of fabric from his clothes, forming a strong thread. He threaded it through the small hole in the jade pendant and tied it around his neck, wearing it on his chest.

The yin and yang forces on the jade pendant interacted, radiating a warm aura that immediately dispelled all the cold from Gu Fei's body, gradually restoring his strength. The internal injuries that had not yet healed also showed signs of improvement.

Afterward, Gu Fei began to observe the immortal body and the hundred-meter-long black-glowing skeletal remains of the strange beast.

"An unparalleled powerhouse with such incredible strength, able to condense his body into an immortal form. What level of cultivation is required to achieve such immortality?" Gu Fei exclaimed.

A powerhouse is a powerhouse, even after their passing, they remain extraordinary.

The existence of an immortal body of an unparalleled powerhouse in the cave shocked Gu Fei, and he couldn't help but feel a chill. The碧水寒潭 (Bishui Hantang) seemed to hide unknown secrets.

This supreme expert, in life, was comparable to a divine being. If ranked by the cultivation realm, the middle-aged man's realm was definitely above the Sage Realm.

To remain uncorrupted for countless years after death, even a demigod would not have such ability!

His attire was ancient, clearly from a long-gone era, yet he remained vivid. A large hole was blasted through his heart, and his blood seemed not to have dried.

Who could have killed such a person? Who killed him? The fragmented skeleton on the ground seemed to emit a faint aura of evil, indicating that it was the bone of a demon. Only the bones of demons, nourished by the most evil and malevolent aura in the world, would be black.

Moreover, the black, shiny bones of the fragmented skeleton under the immortal body and the hundred-meter-long strange beast's bones suggested that this demon was a demon among demons in life. The strange beast was also a powerful existence among demons.

Around the middle-aged man, there were several pieces of shattered metal. These were not ordinary metals; the killing aura they emitted indicated that they were fragments of a shattered demonic weapon.

At the middle-aged man's feet, Gu Fei found two broken sword pieces. The swords were ancient in design, not from the present era, but still gleamed with a cold light, showing their extraordinary nature.

Unfortunately, they were already broken.

In front of the middle-aged man, on a large rock, "Hmm?" Gu Fei, using the light from the yin-yang fish jade pendant, vaguely saw some writing on the rock.

Approaching, he indeed saw a row of characters carved into the hard black rock, like iron strokes and silver hooks. These characters were unfamiliar to Gu Fei, clearly not from this era.

The ancient characters were strong and powerful. When Gu Fei focused on them, a faint spiritual波动 (wave) emanated from the characters.

Gu Fei was instantly stunned. This unparalleled powerhouse, who had died countless years ago, had a cultivation level that was truly astonishing, reaching an unimaginable level. The characters he left on the rock still carried a faint spiritual wave, condensed and undispersed, even to this day.

"Slain the Boundless Demon Lord, and cut the Black Water Black Snake here!"

The faint spiritual wave from the characters allowed Gu Fei to understand their meaning.

"Boundless Demon Lord? Could it be the fragmented black skeleton under this unparalleled powerhouse's feet? Black Water Black Snake, the skeleton of this strange beast, is actually that of the Black Water Black Snake?"

Gu Fei did not know who the Boundless Demon Lord was, but he knew what the Black Water Black Snake was, and the knowledge left him speechless.

The Black Water Black Snake: a giant snake, black in body, white in belly, with green eyes. Its body is more than four zhang thick and over a hundred zhang long. It feeds on immortal herbs and does not die, living for over ten thousand years, residing in the great swamps of the west. It is also said to live in the sea. This is a description of the Black Water Black Snake from the *Beast Record* of the Tenglong Continent.

The Black Water Black Snake was a terrifying ancient beast. The fact that this person killed it in a cave at the bottom of the Bishui Hantang was truly unbelievable.

Gu Fei thought of the beast that had captured him and brought him here. It had green eyes, just like the beast. Could it be... Gu Fei felt a chill.

The hundred-meter-long beast bones were cut into seven or eight pieces, and the head was completely shattered, indicating the intense attack the ancient beast had endured.

"Hmm?" Gu Fei suddenly noticed some white objects scattered among the beast bones. He quickly went over and couldn't help but gasp.

They were some half-black, half-white eggshell-like objects, scattered among the large skeleton.

Trouble, trouble, Gu Fei was secretly alarmed. I knew the Bishui Hantang had powerful beasts, it turns out they were the offspring of the Black Water Black Snake.

The dead Black Water Black Snake, though cut into seven or eight pieces, left behind a snake egg. This egg, after countless years, not only did not lose its vitality but also hatched a young snake.

Thinking of this, Gu Fei's head ached. Even a young Black Water Black Snake, not yet fully grown, was beyond his ability to handle.

This place was definitely not a good place. Everything in this cave was beyond his comprehension.

Shocked, Gu Fei picked up the two broken ancient swords. They were heavy in his hand, with simple and ancient patterns engraved on the blades, reflecting his hair and emitting a cold aura, clearly not ordinary.

Even though Gu Fei was not a sword cultivator from one of the three major Daoist sects, the Guangcheng Immortal Sect, he knew that this ancient sword was definitely a divine weapon.

"Even though the sword is broken, it might still be useful against the young Black Water Black Snake," Gu Fei thought. Clearly, the hundred-meter-long Black Water Black Snake that the unparalleled powerhouse had killed was already an adult.

Perhaps, he used this ancient sword to cut it into seven or eight pieces.

Gu Fei looked around and saw that a small section of the Black Water Black Snake's tail bone extended into a large water pool in the cave wall.

Judging by the size of the pool, it was clear that the Black Water Black Snake had broken through the hard rock from that direction to enter this cave.

Just as Gu Fei was pondering how to escape from the cave, suddenly, there was a "splash" of water. A large, fierce snake head, as big as a basket, emerged from the water pool next to the bones. Two fist-sized green eyes glinted with terrifying ferocity.
