Chapter 639: Golden Sun Five Thunder Array, Secrets of the Heaven Profound Sect

Seeing this scene, the bird Demon King came to the ruins of the explosion and circled twice, then opened its big mouth and spat several wind blades at this pile of rubble.

Only a series of violent collision sounds were heard, and a large piece of the stones below was shattered again, but there was no reaction from the stone pile.

Seeing this, the bird Demon King spat out several more wind blades with all its might, until it had cleared all the rubble above, but it still didn't find the figure it wanted to see.

Seeing this, the bird Demon King could only release its spiritual sense to search carefully around the island, still wanting to leave Song Song Qingming in this sea area.

However, what disappointed it was that until the huge waves came later and submerged most of the island, Song Song Qingming's figure still did not appear.

This bird Demon King and the other two Demon Kings lingered around the island for a few more days, but seeing that they still couldn't find Song Song Qingming, they had no choice but to leave this place one after another.

——

After the few Demon Kings above had all left, a white spiritual light suddenly lit up beside the mountain wall in a karst cave under the island, which had been empty. Immediately afterward, a young man in green walked out slowly from the white light.

After sensing the surroundings with his spiritual sense and seeing that there was no trace of the Demon King nearby, Song Song Qingming finally felt relieved and put away the round bead magic treasure that was covering his figure and aura.

Then he immediately took out two healing pills from his storage bag, swallowed them, and sat on the ground to begin circulating his energy to refine the pills.

It wasn't until half an hour had passed that Song Song Qingming, whose face had been slightly pale, slowly returned to his original appearance. He then slowly stood up and began to observe the surrounding environment.

After being forced to hide in the cave that day, in order to block the search of the bird Demon King that followed, Song Song Qingming steeled his heart and directly used a powerful third-rank low-grade spirit talisman to blow up the entire cave and the surrounding caves into ruins.

He had originally intended to use the rubble above to cover his figure, but he didn't expect that this third-rank low-grade spirit talisman would directly cause the area below the cave to collapse. Song Song Qingming also fell into the karst cave below along with many stone fragments.

Song Song Qingming, who had just fallen, did not dare to move his figure at will because the Demon King above was searching nearby, so he could only use magic treasures to cover his aura in place.

It wasn't until the bird Demon King left the area above and went elsewhere on the island that he took out the isolation array he had been carrying with him and set it up around himself to block the spiritual sense investigation of those few Demon Kings.

Later, when the huge waves came and the seawater poured into the karst cave, Song Song Qingming, who was hiding below, soaked in the seawater for a few more days before finally waiting for those few Demon Kings to leave.

This time coming to the outer seas to hunt demons, it was considered quite smooth at the beginning, and Song Song Qingming had already harvested many demonic beasts along with everyone else.

I didn't expect that when hunting the "Silver Tiger Shark" later, I would be so unlucky as to run into the "Heavenly Wind Beast Tide," eventually ending up in a situation where I could only flee in a panic.

Several array flags of the "Golden Net Demon-Binding Array" were taken away by the "Silver Tiger Shark." The power of this array had already been lost by more than half. Although Song Song Qingming could repair it in the future, this also caused him to lose many spirit stones and materials.

Later, in order to avoid the pursuit of the bird Demon King, after fleeing to this small island, Song Song Qingming also used a third-rank spirit talisman worth a lot of money. In addition, he was accidentally injured by the power of the spirit talisman at close range, wasting some pills for healing.

Thinking of the nearly ten thousand spirit stones he had consumed one after another after encountering the "Heavenly Wind Beast Tide," Song Song Qingming still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

However, although he had lost many spirit stones and spiritual items, he had finally gotten rid of the pursuit of the demonic beasts and temporarily escaped this catastrophe.

Compared to his own life, the loss of these external possessions was indeed nothing to Song Song Qingming.

"The dangers of these outer seas are indeed beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Even Jin Dan cultivators with successful cultivation can only leave it to fate when encountering a powerful natural disaster like the Heavenly Wind Beast Tide!"

After Song Song Qingming sighed helplessly, he slowly stood up, put away the array on the side, and began to observe the surrounding environment, looking for a way to leave this place.

Because the third-rank low-grade spirit talisman used before was too powerful, the many stone fragments that fell from above had completely blocked the entrance through which Song Song Qingming had fallen.

After trying to go up, Song Song Qingming saw that it was a bit laborious to go out from here. After thinking about it, he returned to the karst cave and turned to walk toward the front of the karst cave, trying to see if he could find a place relatively close to the top nearby.

When the huge waves came before, the seawater quickly filled the entire karst cave, which also showed that there must be an exit connecting to the outside or the sea nearby.

Holding this idea, Song Song Qingming walked slowly toward the depths of the karst cave while releasing several "Golden Illusion Butterflies" from his body, starting to help him search for an exit that he could easily go out through along the surroundings of the karst cave.

After walking a short distance, Song Song Qingming discovered that the karst cave below was much larger than he had imagined, with fork roads connecting to each other everywhere, like a huge maze, making people not know which way to go to find the exit.

And what Song Song Qingming didn't expect was that there were traces of artificial excavation in some places in this karst cave, which didn't look like they were completely naturally formed.

Just as Song Song Qingming was pondering in his mind whether other cultivators had been here, a "Golden Illusion Butterfly" that was searching in front suddenly cut off its connection with Song Song Qingming, not knowing what situation it had encountered.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming, who had been calm, tightened his face instantly. After summoning the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body, he frowned and walked slowly toward the location where the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" had disappeared with caution.

Before long, Song Song Qingming followed the guidance of the path the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" had taken and arrived at a very tall cave.

Seeing a huge cyan stone door appear before his eyes, as well as the corpse of the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" lying on the ground not far in front of the stone door, a look of surprise appeared on Song Song Qingming's face.

"What kind of place is this? How can there be such powerful mechanisms and traps!"

You must know that the "Golden Illusion Butterflies" released by Song Song Qingming were second-rank spirit insects that had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although their offensive ability was average, their defensive ability was not much worse than that of ordinary second-rank demonic beasts.

To be able to kill a "Golden Illusion Butterfly" instantly and silently, at least a strike from a Jin Dan cultivator would be needed. It can be seen that there must be a very powerful restriction guarding this place around the cyan stone door.

After carefully observing the surroundings of this cyan stone door, Song Song Qingming turned and retreated to the entrance where he had come in. Then, his magic power surged, and he quickly condensed a fireball the size of a bowl, which he then sent flying straight toward the stone door.

What surprised Song Song Qingming was that the large fireball he had cast flew all the way to the cyan stone door without any obstruction.

However, this fireball did not cause any damage to the stone door; it only produced a slight collision sound and slowly extinguished in place.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming summoned another "Golden Illusion Butterfly" and issued an instruction to it. This "Golden Illusion Butterfly" immediately flew toward the black stone door again.

This time, just as the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" flew in front of the cyan stone door, four or five white thunder lights suddenly appeared on the cave ceiling above the stone door. Before the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" below could react, they had already landed on its body.

The next moment, this spirit insect fell directly from mid-air and, like its companion before, lay motionless in front of the cyan stone door.

"Golden Sun Five Thunder Array!"

Seeing the white thunder light that had just appeared and instantly killed the "Golden Illusion Butterfly," Song Song Qingming couldn't help but reveal a few more traces of surprise and couldn't help but exclaim.

The "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" in front of him is a very rare third-rank high-grade array in the cultivation world. Song Song Qingming has practiced for so many years and has only seen records related to this array in some classics recording various arrays and restrictions. This is the first time he has seen a real array.

The "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" is an array with very powerful attack power, much more powerful than the third-rank high-grade array that he and He He Mengxin and others encountered in the Nascent Soul cave dwelling in the Yue Kingdom back then.

Moreover, the person who set up the array intentionally hid the array in the mountain wall above the gate. Even a Jin Dan cultivator with successful cultivation, once they carelessly walk into the attack range of the array, is very likely to be killed on the spot.

Seeing the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" not far above his head, Song Song Qingming couldn't help but become curious. What exactly is hidden behind this cyan stone door that would make people spend so much effort to set up such a powerful restriction to guard it here?

After standing in place and pondering for a while, Song Song Qingming waved his hand, and a young man in a black robe, about the same size as him, suddenly appeared not far beside him.

Then Song Song Qingming took out a golden ball from the storage magic treasure on his body and handed it to Jin Feng, who was in front of him.

"Old partner! I'll leave it to you."

After hearing Song Song Qingming's soft instruction, Jin Feng's magic power moved, and then he placed the "Thunder Gathering Bead" in his hand above his head and strode toward the cyan stone door.

The power of this "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" in front of him is indeed very strong. Even with a spiritual item "Thunder Gathering Bead" that is very restraining to thunder techniques in his hand, Song Song Qingming still didn't dare to take the risk himself.

He handed the "Thunder Gathering Bead" to Jin Feng, who had been following him, and let him go forward to test the power of the array in front of him first.

Just as Jin Feng approached the bottom of the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array," several thunder lights suddenly flashed in the previously calm sky, rushing straight toward Jin Feng's head with great speed.

——

A break in the chapter!

However, at this moment, the "Thunder Gathering Bead" above Jin Feng's head also shone brightly, taking the initiative to fly into mid-air to meet these thunder lights, and soon absorbed them all into the magic treasure.

Seeing that the "Thunder Gathering Bead" controlled by Jin Feng could actually block the white thunder light in the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array," Song Song Qingming was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned his natal magic treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect his side, flying toward Jin Feng's position.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the thunder light in the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" was attracted by the Thunder Gathering Bead on Jin Feng, Song Song Qingming used the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to forcibly withstand a thunder light attacking his side and jumped directly to the cave ceiling.

After taking a close look at the array in front of him, Song Song Qingming flew out several array flags with golden light from his hand, inserting them into several array eyes around the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" respectively.

Immediately afterward, Song Song Qingming cast spells quickly with both hands, and those golden array flags that had already been inserted into the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" immediately each revealed a pile of golden runes, slowly merging into the array eyes.

Just after doing all this, the power of the thunder light shot out from the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" above Song Song Qingming's head began to weaken significantly, which also made Jin Feng, who was resisting the array with all his might, feel his pressure lighten instantly.

Seeing this, Jin Feng immediately flew to Song Song Qingming's side, and the "Thunder Gathering Bead," under Jin Feng's control, immediately turned into a golden protective shield, directly covering the two of them.

Although they were closer to the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" and the thunder light summoned by the array was denser, as the breaking runes on the array flags controlled by Song Song Qingming slowly merged into the array eyes, the power of the thunder light shot out from the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" was also slowly weakening.

After about an incense stick of time, the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array," whose several array eyes had been completely sealed, finally stopped shooting out thunder light and slowly quieted down. Song Song Qingming and Jin Feng also fell to the ground from mid-air together.

Song Song Qingming, who had temporarily sealed the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array," put away the "Thunder Gathering Bead" on Jin Feng's body and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, he had the spiritual item "Thunder Gathering Bead" that restrained thunder techniques in his hand, and because this array had not been maintained for a long time, its power had weakened a lot, which was why he found the opportunity to break the array.

Otherwise, if these two conditions were not available, even if Song Song Qingming were a third-rank low-grade array master, it would be very difficult for him to break the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" in front of him alone.

After passing through this array, the two of them arrived in front of the cyan stone gate. Jin Feng stepped forward to try to push the stone gate in front of him, but found that the cyan stone gate seemed to be stuck by something inside and was difficult to push.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming scanned the surroundings again and soon discovered a protruding stone on the left side of the stone gate. After letting Jin Feng step forward and press the stone lightly, a vibration suddenly came from in front of the two of them, and the cyan stone giant gate had slowly risen.

Seeing a thick cloud of dust suddenly fly out from inside the stone gate, Song Song Qingming and the two hurriedly retreated a few steps and released their protective light shields, blocking the dust in front of them.

After the dust dissipated, Song Song Qingming and Jin Feng walked into the cyan stone gate one after another.

It was a larger stone room space, but because no one had entered for too long, it was covered with thick dust everywhere.

After Song Song Qingming took a look near the cyan stone gate, he didn't see anything that could attract him, so he strode toward the depths of the stone room and soon arrived in front of a pile of dry bones in the middle of the stone room.

Although these dry bones had been dead for many years and the flesh was long gone, they still emitted a faint golden light, which was enough to prove that the person must have been a Jin Dan cultivator or higher before death.

However, judging from the accumulation of dust in the stone room and the degree of decay of the corpse's bones, the time this person had sat and died here should be at least a thousand years.

After carefully scanning the surroundings of the corpse, a look of joy appeared on Song Song Qingming's face. With a movement of his magic power, he quickly took a silver bracelet beside the corpse into his hand.

Although this silver ring was also covered with dust, Song Song Qingming only cast a spell and wiped it lightly, and it immediately emitted a layer of faint spiritual light, as if it were a new magic treasure.

Seeing that there were not many traces of being eroded by time on this silver bracelet, it was clearly a high-grade storage magic treasure refined from a special material. Song Song Qingming was also surprised and added a few more smiles to his face.

After searching around the corpse again and seeing that no other useful spiritual items were found, Song Song Qingming returned to the original place with a slightly disappointed look, took out the silver bracelet he had just obtained, and began to cast spells to erase the mark on it.

Although he didn't find anything else in this cave dwelling, being able to obtain a storage magic treasure left behind by a Jin Dan cultivator was also beyond Song Song Qingming's expectations.

Even if most of the spiritual items inside were damaged because a thousand years had passed, just by virtue of this silver ring storage magic treasure that had remained unchanged for a thousand years, taking it outside would be enough to exchange for many spirit stones, at least enough to make up for the loss of spiritual items Song Song Qingming had suffered before.

Unexpectedly, his narrow escape from death actually brought him some good luck, and he found a cave dwelling left behind by a senior Jin Dan cultivator, which was indeed something Song Song Qingming had never expected.

This silver ring storage magic treasure was indeed of high quality. Song Song Qingming spent most of the day in the cave dwelling before completely erasing the mark left by the senior cultivator on this storage magic treasure.

When Song Song Qingming opened this magic treasure and probed his spiritual sense into it with anticipation, the excitement he already had was suddenly joined by a few more traces of shock, making him freeze in place for a moment before slowly recovering.

"Who exactly is this person? How could they have such wealth!"

In this silver ring storage magic treasure, there were many high-grade spiritual items piled up in a dazzling array. Among them, there were four or five pieces of third-rank magic treasures, which were no lower in grade than those Song Song Qingming possessed.

Inside, there were countless high-grade spirit talismans and cultivation classics, as well as many wooden boxes and porcelain bottles containing various high-grade spiritual medicines, spirit fruits, and pills, and various grades of spirit stones emitting five-colored spiritual light, adding up to nearly several tens of thousands.

Asking himself, Song Song Qingming had formed the Core for many years and could be considered to have quite good wealth among many Jin Dan cultivators, but compared to the spiritual items in the storage magic treasure of the Jin Dan cultivator in front of him, it was still a bit lacking.

After Song Song Qingming poured out the spiritual items in the silver bracelet and wanted to clean them up, his gaze suddenly caught a letter. After picking it up and opening it to take a look, he discovered that it was actually a suicide note left by this senior.

After sitting in place and carefully studying this letter, Song Song Qingming finally understood the identity of this senior, the reason why he had not sat and died here, and some secrets hidden on him.

The owner of these remains was named Zhao Zhao Jibai. Before his death, he was a top expert whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Jin Dan stage, and he was also the head of a sect in the East Sea cultivation world called the Heaven Profound Sect.

And the reason why Zhao Zhao Jibai came to the Feng Tianyuan Sea area was precisely because the Heaven Profound Sect he belonged to had a deep origin here.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the entire Feng Tianyuan Sea area was ruled by an ancient sect called the "Feng Tianyuan Sect." This sect had many cultivators and several Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in it, and it was once a hegemon in the East Sea cultivation world.

Later, for some unknown reason, this sect encountered attacks from many high-rank demonic beasts in the Thunder Origin Sea. Although the cultivators of the "Feng Tianyuan Sect" fought hard to guard the sect, the mountain gate was eventually broken by the demonic beasts because the enemy was numerous and they were few, and the entire island sank into the sea.

The high-rank cultivators in the entire "Feng Tianyuan Sect" sect almost all fell in that great battle where the sect was destroyed. Only a small number of cultivators escaped under the leadership of a Jin Dan elder.

These "Feng Tianyuan Sect" cultivators who escaped from the Feng Tianyuan Sea area, because they were afraid of being found by some of the sect's original enemies, changed their names and stayed away from the outer seas, finding an island in the near seas to re-create a new sect, the "Heaven Profound Sect."

After tens of thousands of years of inheritance, although the "Heaven Profound Sect" sect had its ups and downs, it had never been able to restore its past glory, and at its peak, it was only a relatively powerful Jin Dan sect.

Although the sect's orthodoxy was destroyed, some things left behind by the "Feng Tianyuan Sect" were successfully passed down to every generation of "Heaven Profound Sect" sect heads.

The stone room that Song Song Qingming had accidentally broken into was not a cave dwelling opened by Zhao Zhao Jibai himself, but an entrance to a secret realm left behind by the "Feng Tianyuan Sect" back then.

This is a great secret concerning the fate of the sect that only every generation of "Heaven Profound Sect" sect heads could know, and it is also the most important reason why this small sect, the "Heaven Profound Sect," has been able to inherit for tens of thousands of years.

This secret realm was originally a separate space opened up by a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage during the ancient times of the "Feng Tianyuan Sect." It cultivated many precious spiritual items. When the "Feng Tianyuan Sect" was still around, this place was also a trial ground for the sect.

Later, the "Feng Tianyuan Sect" was destroyed by demonic beasts, but because this secret realm happened not to be in the mountain gate, and the entrance was covered by high-rank arrays by the "Feng Tianyuan Sect" cultivators, it was not discovered by the demonic beasts.

After thousands of years passed, those Nascent Soul Demon Emperors who occupied the Feng Tianyuan Sea area slowly left the Feng Tianyuan Sea area, and human cultivators began to set foot here again.

At that time, a "Heaven Profound Sect" sect head who learned of these hidden matters took some cultivators from the sect to find this place and brought many spiritual items out of the secret realm, thereby reviving the declining sect.

From then on, almost every hundred years or so, the "Heaven Profound Sect" would have someone come here to enter this secret realm to look for spiritual item resources to revitalize the sect. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
