Chapter 304: Grotto-Heaven of the Long-Flashing Treasure Light

A fragment of a Grotto-Heaven is truly a top-tier treasure.

On a small scale, it is at least comparable to Master Chongguang's 【Grotto-Yang Blessed Land】, containing the Cheng Tian Gang and Li Jie Bo qi condensed by its master during his lifetime, making its value immeasurable.

On a grand scale, it is the Shenshan of the Primordial Magnet.

It could even be called a golden opportunity sought after by all!

Therefore, Lu Yang firmly believed that a family like the Li clan could not have obtained a Grotto-Heaven fragment; even if they truly could, how could they have concealed it for so long?

"That Grotto-Heaven fragment lies at the bottom of the sea in the Gan Tang Dao."

True Person Xiao Hai explained, "This place was originally not a port; it was established only after my Li ancestor discovered that Grotto-Heaven fragment."

"The purpose was to cover the strange phenomena of that Grotto-Heaven fragment. However, the reason it succeeded was actually because the fragment itself, as a spiritual object, concealed its nature, severing all heavenly fate and karmic causes, so that no one could calculate it, allowing my family to occupy it. My family's 【Conquest Ship】 was obtained from within it."

"If the Master desires it, your subordinate can take you there."

"There is no need for that."

Lu Yang decisively shook his head; out of caution, he did not even ask for the specific location of the Grotto-Heaven fragment. He did not want to know, nor dared he to know.

'I had better not get entangled in this karma.'

Lu Yang made an immediate decision, directly ordering True Person Xiao Hai to retrieve a large batch of Geng Metal spiritual objects and a medium-grade Spiritual Treasure from the family treasury.

With these Geng Metal spiritual objects, it would be enough to complete the final thirty percent of the nourishment for the Immortal Spirit's original body at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for the 【Conquest Ship】, he dared not accept it.

Who knows what huge traps lay within the treasures coming from that Grotto-Heaven fragment? His life in this era was so precious; he could not fall victim to such an accidental event.

'I have not yet been ground into powder, which indicates that no True Lord has noticed me for the time being.'

Lu Yang trembled with fear; in his eyes, this Gan Tang Dao had become a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and he feared that a True Lord would jump out from within it the very next second.

Thinking of this, he immediately flicked his sleeve, sweeping away the Yun family ancestor and all the treasures, causing them to vanish from the spot.

Running away, running away!

'Although there is currently no solid proof, perhaps there really is an opportunity, but... why should I take the risk? Better to believe it exists than to believe it does not!'

Furthermore, Lu Yang did not even dare to let his clone return to meet the Immortal Spirit's original body; instead, he chose a place to bury the items, destroyed the clone on the spot, returned his consciousness to the original body, and immediately activated the divine wonder of 【Grotto-Clarity】, only feeling secure in his heart after confirming he could still think.

'Now, even a True Lord should not be able to find me.'

With 【Li Jie Bo】 present, Lu Yang in this life was extremely hidden; unless he wandered right under a True Lord's nose, it was impossible to be discovered.

Thinking of this, he finally felt at ease and activated the 【Puppet Master】.

This golden talent had another wonderful use.

As the puppeteer, Lu Yang could at any time use this talent to remotely observe every 【Puppet】 he controlled, borrowing the other's perspective.

Soon, the scene of Gan Tang Dao reflected in Lu Yang's eyes.

After he left, True Person Xiao Hai and the rest of the Li clan members first showed a look of confusion, and only then did their eyes gradually clear up.

"What just happened? I can't quite remember."

True Person Xiao Hai thought for a moment, feeling that something seemed wrong, but soon cast aside these slight doubts and turned his gaze to the family head, Li Qingyun.

"There is no time to lose; prepare quickly, and let us go explore 【that place】!"

Hearing this, Li Qingyun was stunned; his instinctive reaction was whether it was too hasty, but upon second thought, being a bit anxious for the sake of the family was quite normal.

"Understood! I will go prepare immediately."

Soon, the entire Li clan sprang into action; there was no communication throughout the process, everyone exerted their strength in one direction, their hearts full of the desire to explore that Grotto-Heaven fragment.

Seeing this, Lu Yang smiled with satisfaction.

'Although my original body does not have the courage to explore that Grotto-Heaven fragment, I do have the courage to let cannon fodder explore it, and a great deal of it!'

Under Lu Yang's influence, the entire Li clan was in a fervor; within a short while, they had prepared arrays, talismans, and magical treasures, and finally, led by True Person Xiao Hai, arrived at a quiet room within the Li clan residence. This room connected to the very bottom of the waters of Gan Tang Dao, but what met their eyes was an empty void.

'Where is the Grotto-Heaven fragment?'

A question arose in Lu Yang's heart; with a thought, Li Qingyun, who had been silent, suddenly felt a surge of emotion and sighed deeply, "Truly the methods of a True Lord."

"This Grotto-Heaven fragment does not reveal its wonders on ordinary days."

"Only at noon, when the heavenly light shines into the waters, will it refract the image of the Grotto-Heaven fragment underwater, and only then can one enter."

Hearing this, True Person Xiao Hai also nodded: "Indeed, it is mysterious and strange."

Both of them maintained their composure, neither feeling that this sudden explanation was in any way wrong.

Soon, noon arrived.

The heavenly light entered the water, and indeed, an image was reflected at the bottom: vast stretches of ruined walls and broken buildings, with jade towers and crystal palaces collapsed, presenting a scene of utter desolation.

Seeing this, True Person Xiao Hai's expression brightened slightly; he immediately took out the 【Zhao Yuan Bell】 and rang it. The melodious bell sound rippled through the water, and the ancient melody caused the Grotto-Heaven fragment, which was originally just an illusion, to become increasingly solid, gradually manifesting a true form, and an entrance clearly appeared before their eyes.

"... Let's go!"

In the past, True Person Xiao Hai would have hesitated for a moment; after all, the Li clan had only him as a Foundation Establishment True Person, and without absolute certainty, he could not take risks.

However, now, he was very decisive.

The next second, he transformed into a flight of light and flew into the Grotto-Heaven fragment before him, immediately feeling as if the heavens and earth were spinning, before crashing down onto the ground with a boom.

"Pah!"

True Person Xiao Hai immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, yet he paid no attention to his own injuries; driven by greed, he immediately began to examine the surrounding environment.

He saw that the interior of this Grotto-Heaven fragment was extremely special; beyond the ruined walls and broken buildings, there was a sea of fire burning fiercely, never extinguishing all year round. The rolling flames wound and coiled within the Grotto, resembling a giant snake, with the head of the snake standing exactly where a palace, broken in half, was located.

The scene of a Grotto-Heaven often reveals the path of its master.

Borrowing True Person Xiao Hai's perspective, Lu Yang silently observed this towering fire snake within the Grotto-Heaven fragment and quickly deduced the origin of the fire snake.

'It is actually 【Si Fire】?'

Lu Yang frowned tightly. 【Si Fire】 is in the Li Jie Bo position; it is a yin-type fire that also contains the image of a snake, thus carrying the implication of yang energy being fully distributed and rising again.

Lu Yang had only seen one talent technique forged from this single Cheng Tian Gang and Li Jie Bo.

In his previous life, Xiong Xiong used this to forge his final talent technique, named 【Rigid Flame Furnace】, thereby corresponding to the fruit position 【Overturned Lamp Fire】!

"Could it be..."

Lu Yang suddenly formed a guess, and as True Person Xiaohai's gaze fell upon a corner of the Grotto-Heaven fragment, this guess was confirmed.

Amidst the ruined walls and broken beams, within the shattered palace standing at the head of that towering fire serpent, flickering flames revealed half of a plaque.

The other half had fallen inside the palace.

Once the two were combined, a name immediately leaped forth:

【Eternal Starlight Treasure Radiance Grotto-Heaven】
