1466 Obscure Heavenly Crystal, Evil Illusionary Jade Crystal
Chu Yang nodded lightly.
His face red from agitation, Mo Tianji said, “Then you’d better hurry and go!” And actually started urging him to make a move.
Chu Yang laughed in response. After mildly placating Mo Qingwu, he walked to the front.
The young girl had just received sothing fantastic and was currently in the midst of an excited discussion with Mo Lei’er. When she heard that he was stepping out for a mont, she didn’t even bother looking at him, only waving her little hand to indicate —”Feel free to do as you wish. Little miss here has no ti for you at the mont...”
And then she returned to her discussion with Mo Lei’er.
One by one, Gu Duxing and the others also circulated their energy to examine the changes in their bodies, making more and more exciting little discoveries as they did so.
After the dragon and phoenix spirit essence were incorporated into their bodies, the speed at which their internal energy circulated had basically doubled! Not just that, the dragon and phoenix spirit essence even boasted the ability to automatically change their body constitution for the better.
One must know that a doubled internal energy circulation speed ant much more than just their usual cultivation practice. Rather, what it implied was — As long as their physical movents could keep up with the speed at which the energy in their bodies circulated, the speed at which they dished out attacks would also be double of what it currently was!
At this point, their speed and agility could already be considered fast. If doubled... What would it be like?
The mont they thought about this, the brothers were so excited that they couldn’t catch their breath.
After calming his mind, Chu Yang walked deeper in. When he walked past the spot where the dragon and phoenix used to be, his eyes fixed onto a certain direction. Turning slightly to the side, he walked inwards resolutely.
Back when they just finished the absorption of the dragon and phoenix spirit essence, Chu Yang had already received the Sword Spirit’s prompt.
“Lord Sword Master, I’ve discovered the aura of the seventh fragnt of the Nine Tribulations Sword!”
For the longest ti before this, Chu Yang couldn’t be sure whether the sword fragnt was really here or not. It was only when the Sword Spirit told him this that a weight was truly lifted off his shoulders.
After turning the corner, what laid in his path was a whole and perfectly round rock wall.
With nary a mont of hesitation, Chu Yang reached out and grabbed at the wall. Right away, he gouged out a huge hole in the wall.
Although the defense here was tight and solid, it was all thanks to the mighty power of the dragon and phoenix. Now that it was gone, with Chu Yang’s current cultivation, this rock wall was practically as soft as tofu to him.
Grabbing at it and using suction force to draw the rock wall to his palm, he pulled outwards. Right away, a huge slab of rock spanning 40 to 50 feet was extracted and dragged out of the wall. After placing it aside casually, he went on to grab another slab of rock. After removing a few slabs in succession, a huge cave dozens of feet deep had already appeared before him.
Chu Yang dived right in without any hesitation.
He had already done this particular chore several tis before, managing it with ease and a high level of proficiency. Even a professional miner could only despair at catching up with his prowess.
Chu Yang dug downwards the entire way, following the Nine Tribulations Sword’s guidance. He could vaguely feel the Nine Tribulations Sword becoming more and more excited. The sword intent wandered up and down the sword body quicker and quicker. The Sword Spirit also started to beco more and more anxious...
And pulsating underneath this rock wall was an urgent and insuppressible kind of emotion, as if sothing desperately wanting to erge...
Chu Yang’s hands didn’t stop for even a second. Huge slab after slab of rock was thrown over his shoulder and discarded behind him...
At last, the pleasant gurgle of water coming from underground reached his ears.
At the sa ti, the vision in Chu Yang’s left eye suddenly turned very clear while the vision in his right eye beca blurry. This sensation went away the mont it appeared.
Chu Yang was taken aback.
Inside the Nine Tribulations Space, the Sword Spirit comnted leisurely, “This is the Obscure Heavenly Crystal and the Evil Illusionary Jade Crystal welcoming you...”
Chu Yang was speechless.
These two rare dicines were welcoming him? What kind of baseless talk was that...
“The Evil Illusionary Jade Crystal and Obscure Heavenly Crystal here are different from other legendary dicines.” The Sword Spirit said, “They... have grown and matured for at least a hundred thousand years... Possibly even longer. Possessing a degree of spiritual intelligence is also reasonable!”
Chu Yang uttered an ‘oh’ and nodded.
After digging downwards for another 30 feet, Chu Yang felt empty space under his hands. A wave of humidity ca gushing at his face. When he took a good look, he couldn’t help but be stupefied.
Underneath this place was actually a subterranean lake!
Two large fountains stood in the center of the subterranean lake. Situated a thousand feet apart, water gurgled and spouted from the fountains.
On one side, the spring water was a milky white color and gave off a light fragrance, whereas on the other side, the spring water was crystal clear and without any sll.
The whole lake was also split clearly into two. 500 feet on one side was a pure spread of milky white while the other side was totally clear and see-through.
Both were in the sa lake yet they didn’t intersect at all, forming a peculiar and fascinating subterranean lake.
Everyone who saw this would probably exclaim at its bizarreness!
Jumping down, Chu Yang stood in the milky white spring water, feeling a sense of comfort perating his entire body. He naturally understood that this pool of milky white spring water was the Crystal Spirit Spring.
Before getting a full grasp of the situation, no matter how bold and audacious Chu Yang was and even if he knew full well that nothing would really go wrong, he didn’t dare to carelessly enter the Evil Spirit Illusionary Spring nonetheless.
It was better to be safe than sorry after all. Should he faint in here...
While his life certainly wouldn’t be endangered, it would no doubt be extrely embarrassing...
The Sword Spirit understood Chu Yang’s reservations. Holding back his laughter, he said, “Let’s take the spring water. I’ve already made space for it inside the Nine Tribulations Space.”
Chu Yang grunted in acknowledgnt and waved his arm.
At once, two jets of water shot out of the lake and into the Nine Tribulations Space.
Even when the spring water was being drawn at the sa ti, they remained clearly separated.
Raising his head, Chu Yang looked up and saw innurous tiny little holes above, the place where they led to unknown. The holes over at the Evil Spirit Illusionary Spring were extrely moist and damp, as if water would drip from them any mont. On the other hand, over here at the Crystal Spirit Spring, the whole place was dry.
Chu Yang finally understood how his grandfather and the others must have discovered the spring. Most likely, the water vapor from the Evil Spirit Illusionary Spring must have seeped out from this place. When it reached a certain point on higher ground, the moisture collected to form a dense mist, which then ford a new and separate water stream. And from there, it trickled outwards droplet by droplet...
That was probably how Yang Bao and the others had accidentally co across it while excavating in the Purple Crystal mine...
Furthermore, it was impossible to locate the actual Evil Spirit Illusionary Spring from that direction even if one wanted to... Because who knew where that place they were at was? In any case, it didn’t have much to do with this place here...
The gurgling of water stopped.
The ground beneath Chu Yang’s feet was already dry all around. Only the mouths of the two springs on the left and right were still spouting blurry mist. But subsequently, even the mist was gone.
Chu Yang reinvigorated his spirits and grabbed at the ground again, restarting his mining works again...
As he gradually dug hundreds of feet down, Chu Yang started to sport a rather strange expression. The ground here was obviously slanting downwards toward the middle...
If so, then could the Obscure Heavenly Crystal be...
Chu Yang got up and went to the opposite. As he dug downwards, he indeed discovered that this area where the Evil Illusionary Jade Crystal was also slanted down toward the middle...
A wry chuckle escaped Chu Yang. He went straight to circulating his energy, reaching 100 feet into the ground and then lifting the entire expanse of ground and setting it aside.
When he looked over, as expected, the mouth of the Crystal Spirit Spring and the mouth of the Evil Spirit Illusionary Spring were less than even 200 feet apart! One must understand this — They had originally been 1,000 feet apart!
Chu Yang struck directly at the middle and reached another 100 feet or so into the ground and lifted the ground surface again. By then, the mouths of the two springs were already less than 30 feet apart!
“Could these two be placed together right from the start...” Mumbling, Chu Yang started to gradually apply force downwards. At this point, he already had to refrain from taking large-scale actions. Otherwise, if anything was damaged as a result... Chu Yang would truly be flabbergasted.
30 feet in, Chu Yang was greatly taken aback. There was already so warm moisture in the earth in his hands.
“You’re almost there,” said the Sword Spirit as he also gave him a reminder. “The Obscure Heavenly Crystal and the Evil Illusionary Jade Crystal are different from the others. They don’t produce Jade Cores or anything like that. The only thing they produce is spring water...”
“I see.” Chu Yang had assud that they would be similar to other legendary artifacts like the Mysterious Yang Jade and the Mysterious Yin Jade, but it seed like that wasn’t the case.
Chu Yang reached into the ground 30 feet deep and lifted it.
The mont he lifted the ground, a peculiar sensation suddenly ca over Chu Yang.
As though there was a lady to his left looking at him gently and tenderly with deep devotion in her eyes right now. The exquisite beauty was lovely and enchanting. Despite being silent and still, he could sense an aura of elegance and serenity on her nonetheless.
On the other hand, to his right was a gorgeous and beguiling ravishing beauty gazing at him amorously. Posing coquettishly, her actions were bold and daring, an air of boundless seduction around her...
Chu Yang got a huge fright and hastily looked around him.
Only to notice a piece of milky white spirit jade resting quietly on his left and a piece of transparent jade resting to his right.
The two pieces of jade rested rely 5 feet from each other!
And right now, he was standing right in between the two of them.
“This is really weird.” Chu Yang scratched his head. “The two pieces of jade actually gave a feeling as though the two of them are great beauties...”
Although the Sword Spirit didn’t respond, Chu Yang could totally sense that this fellow was looking at him with an expression piqued with interest right now, curious to find out which piece of jade he would pick up first.
“There must be sothing going on in here, right?” Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. “Sword Spirit?”
With a wry smile, the Sword Spirit replied, “Yes, the beauty is the jade and the jade is the beauty. Right now, the two pieces of jade have respectively presented themselves to you. Ever since they were born to this world, they’ve been at loggerheads, both wishing to get an edge over the other. Now, after much hardship and trouble, they’ve finally encountered their fated master. Naturally, they would wish to compete with each other.”
“Whichever you choose to pick up first would an that the other piece of jade has lost.”
The Sword Spirit explained.
Chu Yang’s world spun a little.
These were just pieces of jade, yet they were fighting with each other for a man’s favor too?
“Don’t you know that all beauties possess so degree of willfulness? The sa goes for rare and precious spirit jade.” The Sword Spirit advised, “Here’s a friendly reminder — Do not think of picking up both at the sa ti. If you do that, both of them will get upset.”
“Why?” Chu Yang’s world spun once again. That was exactly what he had in mind.
“Just like two great beauties waiting upon the sa husband...” The Sword Spirit broke into a grin. “Even if they don’t put up resistance, they would also be unhappy deep down.”
Chu Yang fell silent.
The Sword Spirit’s words just so happened to hit him right where it hurt the most.
Perhaps the Sword Spirit was doing it on purpose?
In this instant where Chu Yang weighed his choices, his heart also went into a state of unrest.
As though sensing Chu Yang’s indecision, the two pieces of jade started giving off an even stronger aura. It seed as though the two great beauties were respectively bringing their best ga onto the table and exhibiting their charm to their limit, in order to push Chu Yang the bridegroom into making a decision as to which bride he wished to bring into the nuptial chamber?
A grand battle broke out in Chu Yang’s heart, his expression complex. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and declared, “After entering my household, I’m the one to call the shots. They may wish to determine the winner and loser between them but I’m just not going to allow them to do so!”
Applying force with both hands, he grabbed both the Obscure Heavenly Crystal and the Evil Illusionary Jade Crystal at the sa ti!
In this instant, Chu Yang could clearly feel the grudge in the hearts of the two pieces of jade. Snorting, he said, “Do you think you can call the shots in my household? Get in!”
With a whoosh, the two Nine Great Herbal dicines were tossed into the Nine Tribulations Space together!
The Sword Spirit was flabbergasted.
He truly didn’t expect the Lord Sword Master to actually still adopt such a bossy and unreasonable approach even though he had already warned him beforehand.
