Chapter 559: Cave Within a Cave

Zhang Nuo and Chen Shuang'er stood inside a stone chamber, and they saw that the surrounding walls were as smooth as mirrors; even after so many years had passed, they were still not stained by a single speck of dust!

In the center of the stone chamber was placed a square jade table, yet there were no chairs around it; the surface of the table was engraved with many Fowen, and with Zhang Nuo's experience, he had never seen them before!

Walking up to the table, Zhang Nuo reached out and pressed his hand upon it; it felt ice-cold to the touch, and as a flash of spiritual light flickered between his fingers, a large amount of Spirit Power was injected into the Fowen on the table!

In an instant, those Fowen flickered, as if they had come alive, swimming restlessly across the tabletop! Witnessing this scene, Chen Shuang'er was slightly startled; she had been down to this stone chamber many times, yet she had never imagined that there was something strange about this jade table!

Zhang Nuo watched these swimming Fowen with his eyes, and as his thoughts turned, he relied on his Divine Sense to continuously combine them into various shapes! About two hours later, cold sweat appeared on Zhang Nuo's forehead; he still had no way to crack the arrangement of these Fowen on the tabletop!

And this table was the only way to make the Restriction set by the True Immortal manifest! With a long sigh, Zhang Nuo finally stopped his hand; he turned his head to look at Chen Shuang'er and said helplessly:

"These Fowen are too profound; Zhang truly has no way to crack them for the moment. Why doesn't Fairy try?"

Chen Shuang'er was a member of the Chen Family after all, and she had the bloodline of the White Tiger True Spirit in her body; perhaps she would make a discovery!

The young girl nodded slightly, then walked to the front of the table and took a look at those Fowen; her brows could not help but furrow, and by the looks of it, she did not recognize the meaning represented by the Fowen either!

Placing her jade hands on the tabletop, she tried to use Spiritual Qi to sense the existence of the Fowen, and after a moment, she closed her eyes! Zhang Nuo stood by the young girl's side, knowing that she had entered a state of meditation, so he did not disturb her!

About half an hour later, a streak of spiritual light suddenly emerged from the surface of the young girl's body; this spiritual light slowly changed and twisted, and in the end, it turned into the phantom of a White Tiger, its tiger eyes like lamps, also staring at the tabletop below! Unknowingly, Chen Shuang'er had actually triggered her True Spirit Bloodline!

Following the gaze of the White Tiger, a bizarre scene appeared; the young girl's hands, as if they were no longer under her own control, tapped rapidly on the tabletop dozens of times, and those Fowen flickered in succession, finally piecing together into an extremely strange pattern!

Just as Zhang Nuo was astonished, the entire stone chamber suddenly shook, and immediately after, on the stone wall opposite Zhang Nuo, a patch of five-colored brilliance flickered; the dazzling light was so bright that it made it impossible for one to open their eyes!

At this moment, Chen Shuang'er also moved her hands away from the table, and the White Tiger phantom on her body vanished in an instant! Looking at the now dazzling stone wall in front of her, the young girl was also exceptionally excited! Her heart was almost jumping out of her chest!

Before long, the light slowly faded, and on the surface of the stone wall, a door composed of countless Spirit Power appeared! This door was only about a zhang high, and in the middle of the door, there were four holes of different shapes; one would imagine that perhaps this was the place to put the four divine artifacts!

Zhang Nuo and his companion walked forward a few quick steps and arrived in front of the door composed of Spirit Power; upon reaching out to touch it, they only felt waves of Spirit Power coming from the door, and a counter-force of equal strength was instantly repelled back!

If one were to use some technique to attack this door, the door would also return the attack! Zhang Nuo had heard of this kind of Restriction, so he did not dare to act rashly!

Looking at the four holes of different shapes on the door, Zhang Nuo turned his face and looked at the young girl, saying:

"Fairy, try to recall if the Chen Family has any Magic Treasure or object of these shapes!"

The young girl only glanced at them, and her little head shook like a rattle-drum! However, a moment later, she cast her gaze onto Zhang Nuo!

"Brother Zhang, I remember that you have a Magic Treasure that is very similar to the holes in this door; why not take it out and compare them?"

Zhang Nuo was slightly stunned; to tell the truth, he had also discovered this problem earlier. The holes on this Spirit Power door were extremely similar to his Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set, but as soon as this thought arose in his mind, he dismissed it. These four Magic Treasures came from the Human Realm; how could they be related to the things of a True Immortal?

Hearing the young girl say this, Zhang Nuo summoned all four Magic Treasures at once. Once they were brought out, even Zhang Nuo himself could not believe it; he saw that the surfaces of these four Magic Treasures were glowing with a faint brilliance, entirely out of the instinct of the Magic Treasures, as Zhang Nuo had not applied any Spirit Power!

Chen Shuang'er looked in astonishment at the four Magic Treasures in front of her, which were shockingly similar to the holes on the Spirit Power door!

"Brother Zhang, where did you get these four Magic Treasures?"

"These are things I brought up from the Human Realm; how could they be so similar to the divine objects mentioned by the True Immortal!"

With his gaze wandering between the four Magic Treasures, Zhang Nuo said in disbelief.

"Human Realm? That sounds a bit impossible! But there are no absolutes in anything; in this young woman's opinion, Fellow Daoist should still put them in and try!"

With a light arch of her eyebrows, Chen Shuang'er had the feeling of someone who doesn't feel the pain of losing something that isn't their own. Zhang Nuo, however, had a bitter expression; he did not know what mysteries this Spirit Power door held, and what if he put the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set in and it was swallowed by the door in an instant? One must know that these four Magic Treasures had followed Zhang Nuo for many years and contained many divine abilities, especially the power when all four treasures were activated together, which was truly unique!

However, looking at Chen Shuang'er's expectant gaze, Zhang Nuo immediately gave a bitter smile.

"Forget it! Zhang will give it a try. If these four Magic Treasures are damaged because of this, it only means they were not meant to be with me!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo lightly tapped his finger toward one of the holes that looked like a ruler! Immediately, the Measuring Heaven Ruler flashed and flew into it!

With a soft 'pop', a miracle occurred! The Measuring Heaven Ruler actually fit the hole in the Spirit Power door perfectly! Seeing this scene, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to believe it; could it be that this Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set was really the four great divine artifacts mentioned by the True Immortal back then?

Tapping his finger rapidly three more times, the remaining three Magic Treasures also plunged into the Spirit Stone door one after another!

With a soft 'hum', different rays of light rose from the surfaces of the four Magic Treasures, reflecting the light on the Spirit Power door!

'Swish!' The Spirit Power door slowly began to rotate, just like a whirlpool, gradually expanding, and in the end, it even caused the entire wall to become blurred!

Zhang Nuo and Chen Shuang'er retreated at the same time; everything before their eyes indicated that Zhang Nuo's Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set had worked, and the two of them looked at each other in astonishment!

It seemed that these four Magic Treasures were the four divine artifacts mentioned by the True Immortal; as for the reason why they fell onto the Xianhuan Continent of the Human Realm, no one knew!

At this time, the Spiritual Qi whirlpool on the wall had changed its appearance; at the center of the whirlpool, the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler', 'Heaven Opening Axe', 'Heaven Breaking Hammer', and 'Heaven Splitting Scissors' each transformed into rings of light, causing the whirlpool to spread out, and the image behind the stone wall became vaguely visible!

Before long, the four Magic Treasures had completely opened this Restriction; the outer perimeter of the entire stone wall still had the Spiritual Qi whirlpool rotating, but the middle was now passable!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Nuo and Chen Shuang'er did not even think and rushed straight in! As soon as they passed behind the stone wall, a different world appeared before their eyes!

This was also a Cave Abode, but it only had one main hall; compared to the main hall of the outer Cave Abode, it was a bit smaller, and it should be a cave within a cave!

Stalactites hung upside down from the ceiling of the cave, and from their color, it was impossible to tell how many years they had existed; the interior of the Cave Abode was very simple, with only a table placed inside, and on the table were a few Jade Slips and a Storage Bag!

Zhang Nuo's gaze looked toward the side; on the left cave wall, two Magic Treasures were hanging, which were a crimson long sword and a long staff only as thick as a finger!

On the surface, the long staff appeared to be a wood-attribute Magic Treasure, and the body of the staff was engraved with many tiny Fowen! Although so many years had passed, these two Magic Treasures were still dazzling and as majestic as ever!

Looking toward the right cave wall again, Zhang Nuo was startled once more; he saw that on the stone wall hung a suit of golden, glittering armor; this armor was crafted with extreme precision, and even every detail gave one the feeling that it could not be underestimated!

Since these three items were left behind by the True Immortal, they certainly could not be ordinary objects, so Zhang Nuo could not help but take a few extra looks!

"Brother Zhang, these three Magic Treasures should be the items used by the True Immortal back then, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo's eyes were almost falling into the Magic Treasures, Chen Shuang'er blinked her eyes and said deliberately. Hearing the young girl's words, Zhang Nuo finally snapped out of his trance, and after discovering his loss of composure, he coughed twice before answering!

After all, this was the Chen Family's Cave Abode, and the things inside should also belong to the Chen Family; Zhang Nuo was merely an outsider, and being so covetous of someone else's things was truly not very good!

The two walked to the front of the stone table, and Chen Shuang'er picked up one of the Jade Slips on it; after her Divine Sense sank into it and she watched for a while, a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face!

"Brother Zhang, the technique recorded in this Jade Slip is truly too profound; this young woman has truly never seen it in her life, and I have never even heard of such a thing!"

This time Zhang Nuo learned his lesson and did not touch the things on the table; hearing the young girl's words, he only gave a bleak smile.

"No matter how good a technique is, it is of no use to Zhang at the moment. If I do not cultivate the set of techniques I have learned to Great Completion, it is impossible to practice other techniques!"

Hearing this, Chen Shuang'er's expression changed slightly; she really could not understand what kind of technique Zhang Nuo was cultivating that actually had such a restriction!

Putting down the Jade Slip in her hand, Chen Shuang'er picked up the second Jade Slip, her Divine Sense sinking into it; after a moment, she withdrew it, and at the same time, her gaze looked toward the red long sword and the wooden long staff on the stone wall!
