Chapter 1385: Cultivator
Chen Guanlou spent two days reading the classics and notes, plus the maps drawn by the cultists, and had a basic understanding of the cave.
Preparing enough dry food and drinking water, taking advantage of the good weather, he set off early in the morning to enter the cave.
All the cultists were dispatched, standing outside the cave to see him off.
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, do you really not need us to enter together?"
"No! I act quickly alone. Bringing you along will only drag me down."
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is righteous! As long as you bring the sect leader out, you will be a friend of my sect forever. If there is any dispatch, we will never refuse!"
Elder Zhu made a promise.
The weight of this promise is very heavy.
Chen Guanlou nodded, wait until Zhang Daohe is saved.
He waved goodbye to everyone and turned to step into the cave.
The cave is trumpet-shaped, with a large opening and a small inside.
The further you go, the narrower and longer the passage becomes, with a height of about two meters.
On both sides of the wall, there are countless caves, not knowing where they lead.
No wonder the cultists couldn't find the way.
These caves couldn't stump Chen Guanlou.
He only needs to enter 'epiphany' to easily crack the cave maze and find the right way.
However, he was not in a hurry to find Zhang Daohe, going deep all the way, not knowing how many hours had passed, how many caves he had traversed, and finally arrived at the cave secret room, a place for practice.
The secret room is equivalent to the size of three or four caves, and there is a stone platform directly in front of the door, on which there is a stone stool. On the stone stool, there is a cushion woven from sweet grass.
He tried to walk forward, and when he walked halfway, he suddenly stopped.
Intuition told him not to continue forward.
He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the stone platform.
He steadied his mind, pondered carefully, and without any hesitation, knelt down and kowtowed three times with the most pious heart.
He didn't rush to get up, but looked at the stone platform within reach, his eyes hesitant.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly, the surroundings changed.
The maze was broken.
The stone cave instantly changed its face, at least doubled in size, with more stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds. The stone platform disappeared.
On the stone table, there was a book.
Chen Guanlou's heart beat like a drum, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
He kowtowed again. "Many thanks, senior!"
"Those with predestined relationship will get it!"
The sound exploded in his ears, as if coming from outside the sky, and as if it were by his side.
"Senior's kindness, the junior will keep it in mind!"
At this moment, Chen Guanlou firmly believed that there were immortals in the world.
And this cultivator's method of testing people's hearts was very clever.
Kneeling and kowtowing, and kneeling for a long time without getting up.
Under normal circumstances, 10% of people would choose to kneel and kowtow. But only one in ten thousand would kneel for a long time after kneeling and kowtowing, waiting for the maze to break.
And he was lucky enough to be one in ten thousand, perhaps the only one.
There was no light in the stone cave, no timer, and he couldn't know how long it had passed. He estimated it himself, at least two or three hours had passed.
That is to say, he knelt for two or three hours before getting the cultivator's approval and finally waiting for the maze to break.
Getting up, walking to the stone table, he carefully flipped through the book with a cotton cloth.
This is a primary cultivation method in the cultivation world, plus various insights left by the owner of the book, as well as why he came here and where he went.
The cultivator's name is Wuji Daojun, an elder of a sect in the cultivation world.
The sect was attacked by the enemy, and he, as an elder, led the sect disciples to flee, experiencing all kinds of hardships. Originally, they had settled down and re-established the sect's banner, but they didn't expect to encounter a greater disaster. They embarked on the road of fleeing again.
They suffered heavy losses, countless sect disciples died, and many were separated on the way.
Finally, because he was seriously injured and his strength was greatly damaged, he had to hide in the lower realm to heal his wounds.
This place was discovered by him during his hundred-year tour of the lower realm.
This secret room is located at the eye of the formation, gathering the essence of this place, which is very conducive to practice. However, when he left, the essence gathered in this secret room was less than one percent. Without hundreds of years of accumulation, it is difficult to recover.
The notes mentioned the capital of the Great Yu Dynasty. If there was no accident, this Wuji Zhenjun came to this realm to heal his wounds during the Great Yu Dynasty. Counting the time, several hundred years have passed.
Presumably this secret room has recovered.
It is truly heaven's help!
Chen Guanlou continued to flip through the book notes.
Wuji Zhenjun healed his wounds here for decades, managed to recover to his peak strength, returned to the immortal world, and reorganized the sect.
He also wrote: "If a predestined person can break through and has the luck to enter the cultivation world, please go to the Profound Heaven Sect! At that time, if the Profound Heaven Sect is destroyed, I hope the predestined person will have the opportunity to rebuild the Profound Heaven Sect! Please take an oath, never betray the Profound Heaven Sect in this life, if you violate this oath, you will suffer the pain of ten thousand insects gnawing, and you will never be able to advance an inch for the rest of your life."
Chen Guanlou frowned.
Entering this secret room, enjoying a little bit of heaven and earth's creation, and still having to take an oath.
He can despise the oaths of the Great Gan Dynasty and not take them seriously, but he cannot despise the oaths of the cultivation world and not take them seriously. The cultivation world is terrifying, and there are ways to fulfill the oath!
He was very hesitant.
Thinking about it, he might not go to the cultivation world in this life.
Even if he goes, he will just take a trip and fulfill the oath. If the Profound Heaven Sect is destroyed, he will pull up a banner of the Profound Heaven Sect, and he will be the only disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect. As for recruiting troops and buying horses, sorry, he doesn't have that ability.
Anyway, there are loopholes to drill.
As for betrayal, there is no need to worry. He is the Profound Heaven Sect, and the Profound Heaven Sect is him. He will not betray himself even if he betrays anyone.
So...
He had no psychological burden and decisively took the oath!
Afterward, he got on the stone bed and started practicing.
As for Zhang Daohe, a dignified Grandmaster, he won't die for a while. Wait until he has results here before saving people.
Little did he know that Zhang Daohe also found his opportunity in the depths of the cave and was not in a hurry to go out at all. If Chen Guanlou went to him, he would have to feel distressed to share half of the opportunity.
Now this situation is exactly what Zhang Daohe wanted.
Regardless of how anxious the cultists outside the cave are.
Chen Guanlou swallowed a handful of pills and started to close his eyes and enter meditation, comprehending this opportunity.
Wuji Zhenjun said that this secret room is where the essence gathers. After entering meditation, he vaguely had a mysterious experience.
What is essence?
It might be the so-called spiritual energy!
Anyway, he was deeply trapped in it and didn't want to wake up. His body seemed to be wandering on a warm sea surface, two words: comfortable!
Warm all over, transparent!
Unprecedentedly transparent!
Even hunger could not be felt.
There was a taste of floating like an immortal.
Words cannot describe one percent of the actual feeling.
Don't know day and night, don't know cold and heat, don't know hunger...
Time is like water, not treating anyone harshly, nor treating anyone favorably.
The grass and trees turned yellow, withered, and sprouted new buds again, sunshine and rain, growing vigorously.
The cultists had already given up their thoughts, and some cultists left in advance to preach outside, develop believers in the Great Wilderness, and fight with the local snakes in the Great Wilderness.
In this place of the Great Wilderness, the government is a display, and the cultists are not afraid of the Great Wilderness government at all, they only fear the local powerful families. They fight with local powerful families for high-quality cattle and horse resources, not hesitating to start a war! ===== CHAPTER 1386 =====
