Beneath the cliffs, furious waves pounded the shore, and no humans were to be seen—perfect for a temporary rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved swiftly and landed atop one of the cliff’s summits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to sit cross-legged and activate his cultivation method—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen suddenly sensed something and sharply turned his head toward the other side of the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, he had keenly perceived an extremely faint yet unmistakable energy fluctuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the spatial ripple produced when a formation was about to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his cultivation, he might not have recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the space Dao inscription etched onto his Golden Core, his perception of such energy had become extraordinarily acute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is strange!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s interest stirred instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he stood up, activated “Shrink Earth to Inch,” and vanished in a flash toward the source of the energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one step, Su Chen crossed several li and arrived atop the cliff where the energy fluctuation originated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area was strewn with jagged rocks, howling with sea winds—nothing but stones and moss clinging to crevices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s gaze quickly locked onto an unremarkable stretch of cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy fluctuation came from behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and lightly touched the cold stone, sending a thread of spiritual sense into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense pierced through thick rock layers—beyond the cliff lay a hollow chamber. A cave, dozens of zhang in diameter, lay quietly hidden within the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the cave’s entrance, a thin, translucent veil, riddled with cracks, flickered intermittently; each flicker released a trace of weak spatial energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is an ancient cultivator’s cave, concealed by a formation.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","02facf76aa9d3959fd0ac5048b2af2654a7cc9ad24006cc104a70012ea6d3df5","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-32","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-30",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
