Free Web NovelChapter 1897: Chapter 1897: Entering the Illusion Light Cave Mansion Again
"Not good."
Xiao Yi was greatly shocked, and his body, which had initially surged forward, suddenly halted.
In that instant, he clearly sensed the scent of death.
He had no doubt that if he continued to force his way forward, his body would be instantly sliced by eighteen sharp swords.
Thus, Xiao Yi not only stopped but quickly retreated.
Upon retreating, the eighteen swords erupted with golden light, akin to eighteen golden sword dragons, savagely attacking.
Xiao Yi’s face turned pale with shock, and he secretly rejoiced that he reacted instantly by retreating, rather than moving forward.
Otherwise, he might have already been devoured by those eighteen golden sword dragons.
Xiao Yi retreated step by step, with the eighteen golden light sabers chasing him relentlessly.
The power of the eighteen swords doubled as they came, their speed even surpassing Xiao Yi’s retreat.
Within just two breaths, the eighteen swords had encircled Xiao Yi.
At that moment, sword intent surged, and the eighteen swords transformed into a sharp sword dance.
Xiao Yi was terrified, desperately defending himself.
Clang... Clang... Clang... Clang... Clang...
Xiao Yi’s figure turned into a series of black phantoms.
Within the sword dance, the black phantom flickered incessantly, clashing continuously, with the clangs resounding endlessly.
Xiao Yi dodged while retreating.
He retreated to over ten meters away, where the eighteen swords finally stopped.
Though the confrontation seemed short, Xiao Yi’s desperate defense amounted to over a hundred times.
Clang... Clang... Clang... Clang... Clang...
With eighteen consecutive clangs, the eighteen swords once again landed firmly before the Cave Mansion.
Just like before, they were polished and sharp, extraordinarily ancient.
"Hoo." Xiao Yi let out a breath and then panted heavily.
At this moment, he was covered in scars.
Except for vital parts of his body, the rest was almost covered in sword marks, with blood flowing freely.
Thankfully, his current strength was impressive, and he reacted swiftly, retreating in time; otherwise, he might have perished here.
"With my current strength alone, I can’t break this sword array." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.
Seated cross-legged on the ground, Xiao Yi used his whole body’s Poison Power to recover from his injuries.
Medicine, it can save lives or take lives.
Poison is the same, capable of killing, yet can also heal.
An hour later, Xiao Yi healed his wounds, stood up, and stared straight at the eighteen swords in front.
He hadn’t injured vital parts, so although his wounds looked terrifying, they were merely superficial injuries, not difficult to recover from.
Swoosh...
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, attempting once more to break the array.
A minute later.
Xiao Yi returned full of wounds, narrowly retreating to the original spot.
Then again, he sat down to heal before advancing once more, trying to break the array.
...
The whole night through, Xiao Yi tried countless times.
The results consistently ended in failure.
At this point, the golden light inside the cave sparkled, and the aura of golden light began to surge fiercely.
This indicated that it was already daylight outside.
The Golden Light Power that enveloped the entire dangerous land outside would soon rush back through the eighteen pits.
It was time to leave.
Once all the Golden Light Power outside rushed back, the power of golden light within the cave would surge to its peak, and the eighteen swords would become even more powerful.
At that time, he would be even less likely to break the array.
...
Swoosh...
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, exiting the cave and then rapidly flying up, returning above the pit.
He retreated dozens of miles, far away from the Golden Light Storm.
"The eighteen swords just combined to attack."
"The Cave Mansion Restriction hasn’t yet been triggered."
"Just with this alone, I can’t break the array, let alone when the restriction is triggered afterward." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, gazing at the Golden Light Storm dozens of miles away.
Xiao Yi even speculated that even someone at the Peak of Supreme would not be certain here.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, then his gaze turned cold as he turned and flew away controlling the air.
It seems that to break this Golden Light Cave Mansion Restriction, as well as other dangerous land restrictions, he must first go to a certain place...
...
An hour later.
Xiao Yi descended in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.
Indeed, the place he needed to go was the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.
It must be said that the speed of the Supreme Realm is exceptionally fast for traveling.
Remember back when he was merely at the Saint King Realm cultivation, traveling within the Eighteen Mansions Territory could easily take ten days to half a month.
Currently, it’s only been an hour.
Whoosh...
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, heading deep into the dangerous land.
The Illusion Light Dangerous Land is reputed to be the most perilous of the Eighteen Mansions Dangerous Lands.
But last time Xiao Yi was here, he saw no danger.
On the contrary, he found the Illusion Light Dangerous Land to be the most relaxed of all the dangerous lands.
Although it’s unclear why, perhaps he was simply lucky and didn’t encounter any danger?
Nevertheless, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Xiao Yi remained cautious everywhere.
Soon, Xiao Yi arrived at the place where the Illusion Light Cave Mansion appeared last time.
But now, it’s an empty space with no Cave Mansion.
The Illusion Light Cave Mansion only appears during the full moon.
"There’s still three days until the full moon," Xiao Yi muttered to himself, nodding.
In these three days, he could train in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land and gather some Soul Pills.
Yes, Soul Pills.
Throughout the Central Region, besides the Soul Hall Main Hall, only the Illusion Light Dangerous Land has Soul Pills.
The reason is that there are Soul Beasts in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.
Soul Beasts are one branch of demon beasts.
Soul Beasts, besides having demon essence, also have soul power like human Soul Masters.
However, although both are called ’Soul Pills,’ there are obvious differences.
The Soul Pills in the Soul Hall Main Hall are genuinely refined elixirs made through pill recipes and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
While the so-called ’Soul Pills’ here in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land are merely inner cores from Soul Beasts that have been refined into elixirs.
Simply put, they just envelop ’soul power’ within the elixirs.
One is a real elixir with medicinal effects; the other is merely an elixir enveloping ’soul power’, where essentially only the soul power within is effective.
The difference is obvious.
But for Xiao Yi, it didn’t matter.
As long as it replenishes his soul power, it is sufficient.
...
Three days passed in a blink.
Xiao Yi slew hundreds of demon beasts, among them over a hundred Martial Arts Great Power level soul beasts; the rest were mostly Saint Emperor Realm soul beasts.
Having taken the inner cores, he would refine them into elixirs when he had spare time.
His harvest was considerable, although not immense.
Even if all these inner cores were refined, they would only contain Martial Arts Great Power level soul power. frёeωebɳovel.com
This is why the ’Soul Pills’ here are far inferior to real Soul Pills.
It is important to know that true elixirs have different grades.
The Soul Pills within the Soul Hall Main Hall have Emperor Realm Grade, Great Power Level, Supreme Grade, and even Legendary Rank.
Those are the Soul Pills with truly astonishing effects.
Among the Eighteen Mansions Dangerous Lands, if only evaluating the dangerous lands, they are not really very dangerous.
The demon beasts within the dangerous lands are at best at the Martial Arts Great Power Level.
The real danger lies solely within the Eighteen Cave Mansions; however, those Cave Mansions are forbidden lands, and almost no one dares to challenge them.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
At this time, within the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, the weather suddenly changed, clouds gathered in the high sky.
A full moon quietly hung high in the sky, seeming both dream-like and illusory.
"The night of the full moon has arrived." Xiao Yi’s heart thumped.
A gigantic Cave Mansion suddenly emerged from the Soul Power Storm.
Xiao Yi glanced at the surroundings, noticing no abnormality, nor any signs of danger.
Habitually shrugging, his figure flashed, and he entered the Cave Mansion directly.
The entire Cave Mansion contained nothing else, no restrictions, nor any obstacles.
The origin of soul power prominently appeared at the end of the Cave Mansion.
With a flash, Xiao Yi reached the end, both hands reaching out.
"Absorb."
With a low shout, just like when he came to the Illusion Light Dangerous Land last time to repair Guu Lianxing’s Martial Soul, the origin of soul power was effortlessly controlled in his hands.
The entire soul power origin gradually melded into his body.
Xiao Yi’s face first broke into a grin of joy, then rapidly transformed into one of alarm.
Because, within his small world, his Ice Phoenix Sword Soul was absorbing the origin of soul power at an incredibly terrifying speed.
"You... you... don’t absorb it all... leave me some." Xiao Yi’s heart raced with urgency.
However, the absorption speed of the Ice Phoenix Sword showed no signs of stopping; instead, it intensified.
"Damn... come out for me." Both of Xiao Yi’s hands extended forcefully, expelling the soul power origin he had just absorbed back out of his body.
...
The third installment.
