Chapter 491: Chapter 296: Face-Changing Beauty Fist
"The Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern?" Qin Yuesheng was surprised.
The black aura formation enveloped the entire valley, making it impossible for anyone to see what was inside. If one wished to enter, they would have to forcefully break through the formation.
Landing on the ground, Ah Hu immediately ran over from the valley entrance.
"There might still be more people from the Celestial Evil Sect coming here. It seems I’ve unintentionally helped them unseal this formation, though I’m not sure what it’s all about," Qin Yuesheng thought to himself. He then collected Ah Hu into the Mountain Ghost Pearl and returned to Chengshan City first.
Chengshan City had been greatly affected by the battle between Qin Yuesheng and the Evil Heart Bodhisattva. Many civilians lost their lives due to the aftershocks of their fight. Starting from Bu Mansion, all the buildings in a straight line a hundred feet eastward collapsed.
When Song Qiusheng returned to the inn, he informed Bai Ningxuan about these events, causing her to worry greatly about Qin Yuesheng. Especially since he hadn’t come back for so long, she had no idea how badly he was injured.
Deep into the night, Bai Ningxuan was cultivating in her room when she suddenly heard some noise outside the window. She looked up just in time to see Qin Yuesheng jump in, his clothes stained with blood.
Seeing her lover still lively, Bai Ningxuan was ecstatic. She rushed up to him, not caring about the dirt on his body, and hugged him tightly, overjoyed.
"You’re finally back. I knew you’d be okay," Bai Ningxuan said with a smile, looking up.
"I discovered a major issue in the mountains outside Chengshan City," Qin Yuesheng said seriously and described the Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern.
"The Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern?" Bai Ningxuan appeared shocked as soon as she heard about it.
This was not the shock of someone hearing something unbelievable for the first time.
But rather the shock of someone who knew about it in advance yet never expected to encounter it.
Qin Yuesheng asked, "You know about it?"
"The White Lotus Saint Sect has a long history, leaving many texts. Among them, I found records about the Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern."
"Then tell me, what exactly is this Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern?"
Bai Ningxuan explained, "There are many innate auras in this world, and the Divine Fiend Qi is one of them. According to records, the Divine Fiend Qi has miraculous effects, transforming objects and enhancing the bloodline power of birds and beasts."
"What you said matches what I saw. Indeed, even ordinary birds experience extraordinary changes when they enter that place." Qin Yuesheng was enlightened. "So, it seems the Celestial Evil Sect plans to use the Divine Fiend Qi in the treasure cavern to their advantage."
Bai Ningxuan nodded, "The Divine Fiend Qi alone isn’t much. I suspect they are after the Divine Fiend True Spirit within."
Qin Yuesheng looked confused, "What is that?"
"Divine Fiend Qi wanders the world, and once it gathers enough, it settles down, forming a Divine Fiend Acupoint. As the acupoint absorbs more Divine Fiend Qi, eventually a Divine Fiend True Spirit emerges, transforming it into a Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern.
The Divine Fiend True Spirit is a rare spiritual entity. If it joins with a Divine Soldier, it can grant the weapon intelligence, awakening its Spiritual Sense and elevating it to a higher level."
"There’s such a thing in there?" Qin Yuesheng was astonished. He quickly considered another possibility, "If the Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern forms naturally, why did I see four big ancient Chinese characters?"
Bai Ningxuan pondered, "I think someone must have set their sights on that Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern long ago. To prevent others from stealing it, they established a seal formation nearby, suggesting that this person is likely connected to the Celestial Evil Sect."
The idea of an entity that grants intelligence to a Divine Soldier was something Qin Yuesheng had never heard of. Still, if Bai Ningxuan’s words were true, he felt tempted to get involved and contest for the Divine Fiend True Spirit.
After all, he owned a significant number of Divine Soldiers, and if they gained intelligence, it would immensely support him—this was a once-in-a-century opportunity.
"Let’s head to the Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern together. We can stay in the mountains for now and catch the people from the Celestial Evil Sect off-guard."
Bai Ningxuan didn’t care about the living conditions. As long as Qin Yuesheng wanted to go somewhere, she was willing to follow him anywhere.
Neither had anything to pack, so they left the inn that night and headed into the deep mountains near Chengshan City.
With the Mountain Ghost Pearl in hand, Qin Yuesheng lived comfortably even in a remote forest. He activated the Mountain Ghost Pearl on a hill within two miles of the Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern, releasing a manor, and observed the cavern from the mountainside through his Biluo Eye.
This spot was neither too far nor too close to the Divine Fiend Treasure Cavern. If members of the Celestial Evil Sect approached, they absolutely wouldn’t notice Qin Yuesheng’s location because their eyesight couldn’t match his. Yet, Qin Yuesheng could clearly survey every corner around the cavern.
The manor had beds, a stove, and firewood. Back when he was in Jiangnan, Qin Yuesheng stocked it with plenty of food, clean water, and other daily necessities. Thus, even living in a remote forest, his quality of life was as high as staying in an inn.
