Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 641

Chapter 641: Chapter 522 Hidden Cave_2

“Sir, the mine is right below us.”

“The buildings on the outskirts have been thoroughly looted by the cultivators who have come and gone countless times, so there surely can’t be any treasures left.”

“Only within the mine shaft might there still be some treasures not yet discovered by our predecessors.”

“Unfortunately, I didn’t explore much the last time I was here.”

“Even divine sense couldn’t probe the depths of the mine shaft, so I had to retreat quickly.”

“Now that Sir is here, the two of us might be able to properly explore and scavenge all the remaining treasures in the mine shaft.”

An Ning’s fingers, green as young onions, pointed downward, and her voice followed into He Song’s ears.

Listening to An Ning’s words, He Song’s expression remained unchanged.

But secretly, he had already extended his divine sense, sweeping through the buildings around the mine’s perimeter.

Then, he manipulated his divine sense to start exploring towards the deeper parts of the mine shaft.

The divine sense of a Golden Elixir Master is immensely vast.

Now that He Song had projected his divine sense, it could cover a range of well over a hundred miles.

Within this range of a hundred miles, where He Song’s divine sense reached, everything was revealed as clearly as if it were autumn’s last leaf.

Even though the abandoned mine beneath He Song’s feet had a dense network of tunnels resembling a maze, snaking and winding extremely deep,

nothing could escape from under the sweep of He Song’s divine sense.

He quickly probed with his divine sense and explored to the deepest parts of the many mine paths.

In the exploration with He Song’s divine sense,

no tunnel extended over a hundred miles.

Such a long tunnel, should it exist, would probably not belong to the relatively small Golden Spirit Sand Mine they were currently in.

In this mine, the majority of the tunnels had their deepest parts rapidly explored under He Song’s divine sense probe.

Only a few tunnels,

either because they were buried by rock or for other reasons, could not be fully probed to the end with He Song’s divine sense.

He Song made a mental note of these places.

Next, he might well explore these areas thoroughly.

Perhaps he could still find some real opportunities within these tunnels.

With such thoughts flickering through his mind, He Song paid no attention to whatever An Ning was saying. He just signaled with his eyes for her to keep up, then turned into a tunneling light and headed into the mine shaft.

An Ning, seeing He Song suddenly transform into tunneling light and enter the mine shaft, reacted swiftly and promptly followed him.

The tunnels inside the mine were not very large.

But they were spacious enough for cultivators of normal stature.

In such conditions, He Song and An Ning could fly through the tunnels at great speed.

Since both were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage and possessed divine sense, they were not troubled by the tunnels, which were not particularly narrow.

Especially He Song.

Before entering the mine shaft, He Song had already sent out his divine sense, having explored many tunnels throughout the mine.

Now, as his physical body entered the mine shaft, He Song was naturally familiar with the path.

Indeed, He Song didn’t even bother to explore some tunnels that his divine sense had already made clear.

He sought out specifically those tunnels that hadn’t been completely revealed by his divine sense for further exploration.

As for An Ning, who had been following closely behind,

with her divine sense and the fact that He Song was not moving very fast, she managed to keep up with his flying speed and followed him as they advanced through the mine.

Within the mine,

after a period of flying,

An Ning, who had been following behind He Song, finally hesitated and spoke up.

“Sir, the mine’s interior is complex, with various tunnels crisscrossing everywhere, making it easy to get lost.”

“Shouldn’t we slow down and explore more methodically?”

To An Ning, it seemed that since entering the mine, He Song had been pressing forward, and although he occasionally took a turn, the path of his flight seemed random and lacking any logic.

Thus, having already visited this mine and fully aware of its complexity, she felt obliged to speak up and offer a reminder.

Otherwise, if He Song really got lost, leading her on a wild chase through the mine, the situation could become quite problematic.

Given this, it would be better to capitalize on her current memory of the way back and inform He Song about the complexity of this mine tunnel, so that they could both retrace the path together.

In this way, they might also be able to better explore this mine tunnel.

As An Ning’s voice resounded,

He Song, who had originally been rushing forward, suddenly came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

Ahead.

There was no path left.

The winding mining tunnel came to an abrupt end.

A large pile of rocks and stones had accumulated in front, completely sealing off the mining tunnel.

The scene appeared as if there had once been a collapse here, creating the view they saw now.

Upon witnessing this, An Ning was about to speak.

But she saw a flash of gold in He Song’s hand.

The next moment, a top-grade magical equipment, a flying sword, flew out from He Song’s grasp, swiftly burrowing into the collapsed rocks and stones ahead.

Following the flight of the flying sword, a large amount of rock was quickly cut away by it.

As the flying sword sliced through the rock,

He Song was meanwhile casting his gaze upon An Ning at his side.

“Don’t worry, wherever I go, I have already scanned with my divine sense,” he said.

“Mining tunnels that can be thoroughly inspected just with divine sense naturally do not require a physical exploration.”

“Only places like the one ahead, where the path is blocked by a large pile of stones and can’t be penetrated by divine sense, need to be personally checked.”

“Your cultivation is shallow, and your range of divine sense is limited, so just follow me.”

“There might be some dangers but also some opportunities in this mine tunnel, yet there is no need to retrace the paths that don’t need exploring.”

After casually explaining to An Ning, He Song stopped looking at her and focused on controlling his flying sword.

Having heard He Song’s words, An Ning suddenly realized that everything she had thought of had already been anticipated by him.

Seeing this situation, An Ning felt a bit embarrassed and naturally did not say much more.

She simply took out her own flying sword and, like He Song, began cutting through the large swath of rocks in front of them.

Thus,

a short time later,

the mine tunnel obstructed by rocks was finally cleared.

The large amount of stone that had hindered the use of divine sense disappeared.

He Song then extended his divine sense, probing into the inner parts of the mining tunnel.

The divine sense of a Gold Core Cultivator is mighty.

With a mere casual sweep, He Song detected that inside this mining tunnel, there was an entirely different world.

This mining tunnel was connected to a massive cave.

With just a single pass of his divine sense, he immediately discovered traces of many cultivators who had been inside this massive cave.

After noticing this, He Song maintained an impassive facade, but his vast divine sense swept out again, instantly scanning the huge cave ahead once more.

Upon confirming that there were no other cultivators present in the cave, nor any other dangers, he allowed himself a slight sigh of relief and a flicker of vigilance crossed his mind.

Originally, He Song had thought that nothing unexpected would occur within such a long-abandoned mining tunnel.

After all, the mines within such abandoned tunnels had likely been completely exhausted a long time ago.

Apart from some scattered remnants, there shouldn’t be anything left.

Even those who entered such places were mostly Qi Refining minor cultivators who could hardly survive elsewhere.

For He Song, who had now reached the Golden Core Realm, these minor cultivators posed no threat whatsoever.

However, it was unexpected that right after entering the mine, He Song had stumbled upon a massive cave.

Moreover, this massive cave was actually connected to the mining tunnel.

Perhaps the ones who had opened this mining tunnel many years ago had also seen this gigantic cave.

But as for what exactly was inside that cave,

and why the cave was later blocked off by rocks from the mining tunnel, He Song had no way to know.

Even so, He Song couldn’t help but feel a sense of wariness within him.
