Chapter 420 Entering the Cultivation World 11
After Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou rushed into the cave, the scene before them made them hold their breath in an instant.
The interior of the cave is spacious and deep, and the ceiling is inlaid with countless crystals emitting soft light, like an inverted starry sky.
These lights illuminate everything in the cave, making the entire cave look mysterious and dreamy.
The ground was covered with a layer of fine, velvety moss, and every step felt like stepping on soft clouds.
Among the mosses, there is a crystal clear stream winding around, the water gurgling and making a clear and pleasant sound.
There were little golden lights flashing in the water. Upon closer inspection, they were actually some unknown small fish, their scales sparkling under the light.
Following the stream, there is a dense bush of flowers.
The flowers are colorful and in various shapes. Some are as small and delicate as bells, while others are as large and beautiful as bowls.
There are crystal dewdrops hanging on the petals, as if they were pearls bestowed by nature.
The fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Deep in the cave, there stand several tall Nine Yang sacred trees.
The trunk of the Nine Yang Divine Tree is tall and straight, like a giant standing upright, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.
The bark of the trunk is a rustic dark brown color with crisscrossing textures, as if it were a deep mark left by time, and each texture contains endless vicissitudes and stories.
Some of these textures are like winding rivers, smooth and natural;
Some are like mysterious runes, obscure and difficult to understand.
The trunk is as hard as iron. When you touch it, you can feel a solid and heavy power, as if it can withstand all the wind, rain and hardships in the world.
In some parts of the trunk, there are some peculiarly shaped tree tumors, some of them are big, some are small, some are round, some are flat, some are like ancient sculptures, some are like mysterious totems, adding a bit of mysterious and unique charm to the Jiuyang Divine Tree.
Looking from a distance, the trunk of the Nine Yang Divine Tree towers into the clouds, as if connecting heaven and earth, becoming an eternal existence in this mysterious world.
The leaves of the Nine Yang Divine Tree are slender and stretched, shaped like an elegant phoenix tail.
The leaves are a deep and rich emerald green, as if they were carved from the finest jade, so green that they are breathtaking.
The surface of the leaves is as smooth as a mirror, but it has subtle textures. Those textures are like ancient mysterious symbols, faintly revealing a mysterious power.
Under the sunlight, the leaves reflect a soft light, as if they were endowed with a layer of sacred glory.
The edges of the leaves are neat and sharp, like a carefully polished blade, yet still retain a natural agility.
The veins of the leaves are clearly visible, and the main veins are thick and strong, extending from the petiole to the tip of the leaf, like the branches of a tree trunk, continuously supplying vitality and vigor to the leaves.
The lateral veins are distributed on both sides of the main vein like a dense spider web, making the leaves tougher and more elastic.
As the breeze blew, the leaves of the Nine Yang Divine Tree swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if whispering an ancient and mysterious story.
On the branches, there are blooming gorgeous flowers. The flowers of the Nine Yang Divine Tree are large and gorgeous, and each one is like a carefully crafted work of art.
The petals are a bright orange-red color, gradually transitioning to bright golden yellow from the center of the flower to the outside, like a burning flame, emitting a hot and dazzling light.
Its texture is soft and elastic, and its surface has delicate texture, like carefully drawn veins, adding a touch of mystery to the flowers.
The edges of the petals are slightly wrinkled and curled, as if it is a unique decoration bestowed by nature, making it more lively and beautiful.
In the center of the flower, there is a cluster of fine stamens, like bright golden threads, sparkling with dazzling light.
These stamens are slender and dense, exuding a rich fragrance. The fragrance seems to contain endless vitality and vigor, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The flowers of the Nine Yang Divine Tree appear even more gorgeous against the backdrop of green leaves. They hold their heads high and bloom with unparalleled beauty, as if showing the world their powerful and mysterious vitality.
Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou were so shocked by the beauty before them that they were speechless. They had never imagined that such a wonderful scene was hidden in Qingmu Kui's cave.
However, before they could appreciate it carefully, they heard Qing Mu Kui's angry roar coming from outside the cave.
Qing Mu Kui's angry roar resounded throughout the cave, and Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou's hearts instantly rose to their throats.
They knew that Qingmu Kui would soon discover that they had intruded into its territory.
At this time, Qingmu Kui outside the cave was gasping for breath, and blood was constantly oozing from the wounds on his body, but his eyes were still full of majesty and ferocity.
The Shadow Python had fallen to the side, its body no longer moving, obviously defeated by Qing Mu Kui's powerful strength.
Qing Mu Kui endured the pain and walked towards the cave step by step.
With every step it took, the ground trembled slightly, the green vines on its body drooped limply, and the horns that once shone with mysterious light became dim.
When Qingmu Kui walked into the cave and felt the breath of Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou, its anger was ignited again.
"How dare you two break into my cave when I'm not around!"
Although its voice was still loud, it was a little weak.
Before Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou came out, Qing Mu Kui fell to the ground.
The Shadow Python was extremely poisonous and it was also poisoned.
After Qing Mu Kui fell down, his originally tall and mighty body began to tremble violently.
Its thick, hard scales quickly lost their luster, becoming dull and mottled, as if shrouded in a shadow of decay.
The fierce light that was originally burning in his eyes now became cloudy, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot, making him look extremely painful.
The green vines no longer drooped lifelessly and began to gradually wither, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating in the air.
The wounds on its body began to turn black and fester due to the poisoning, emitting a pungent stench.
The originally strong and powerful limbs became soft and weak, as if they had lost the strength to support the body.
The pair of long horns that were originally sharp and shining with mysterious light now became dull, and the mysterious green lines on the horns gradually blurred, as if they were wiped out by an invisible force.
Qing Mu Kui's breathing became rapid and disordered, and every breath seemed to be in great pain.
Its mouth was wide open, and black blood kept flowing out from the corners of its mouth, dripping onto the ground and corroding small holes.
From time to time, wisps of black breath emerged from the surface of the body, as if the toxins in the body were raging wildly, trying to break free and completely destroy its vitality.
At this time, Qing Mu Kui no longer had the majestic aura he had before, and was now in a miserable state, looking as if he was dying and on the verge of death.
Looking at Qing Mu Kui who was in critical condition after being poisoned, he was extremely worried.
She stopped hiding and rushed out holding Little Stone.
Of course, they could also take this opportunity to steal the Nine Yang Divine Tree directly, but Chao Yao did not choose to do so.
Qing Mu Kui drove them away again and again, but did not do anything to harm them.
With its Mahayana cultivation level, it is impossible for it not to sense that Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou are still in the Fantasy Forest.
Therefore, Qing Mu Kui was obviously letting them off the hook.
In this case, Chao Yao can't just stand by and watch.
She stuffed all the pills she had into Qingmu Kui's mouth. However, those pills that were usually regarded as treasures seemed to have lost their effect at this moment, and Qingmu Kui's condition did not improve at all.
"What should I do?" Chao Yao frowned, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Suddenly, she remembered the magical spiritual spring pool in her own space.
"Little Stone, you stay here and guard. I will set up a barrier here. If there is any movement, you should hide quickly on top of the Nine Suns Divine Tree."
"Sister, where are you going?"
Xiao Shitou tugged at Chaoyao's clothes, looking reluctant.
"I'm going to take Senior Qing Mu Kui to a secluded place to heal his wounds until he gets better. You can't enter that place, so I can't take you."
After hearing this, Xiao Shitou let go.
"Sister, then you have to come back early. I'll wait for you here."
"it is good."
Without any hesitation, Chao Yao formed seals with her hands, cast a spell, slowly lifted up the unconscious Qing Mu Kui, and sent him into a space that only she could control.
At the same time, she set up several layers of barriers here to prevent anything from breaking in.
In this space, the spiritual spring pool is sparkling and full of spiritual energy.
Chao Yao gently placed Qingmu Kui into the pool, and the water instantly turned black. It was the poison in Qingmu Kui's body that was spreading.
She stared at Qing Mu Kui nervously, without blinking. Time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed extremely long.
After a long time, the Lingquan Pool finally showed some subtle changes.
The originally inky black pool water began to show signs of fading.
The black aura that was constantly spreading from Qing Mu Kui's body gradually slowed down.
Chao Yao's tense nerves relaxed a little, but she still didn't dare to be careless, and her eyes never left Qing Mu Kui.
After a while, the festering of Qingmu Kui's wound finally stopped, the shocking black color no longer spread, and its breathing gradually became steady and powerful.
"Great, it works!" Chao Yao couldn't help but cheer, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
But Qing Mu Kui still kept his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.
Forget it, let me go out and see how Xiao Shitou is doing first.
Chao Yao came out of the space, removed the barrier, and saw Xiao Shitou standing there with a nervous look on his face.
"Sister, how is Senior Qingmu Kui?" Xiao Shitou asked hurriedly.
"The condition has improved, but he hasn't woken up yet." Chao Yao said.
Just then, a slight sound suddenly came from the surroundings.
The two of them immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw several small and clever foxes lightly jumping out from the flowers. Their fur was soft and smooth, sparkling with charming luster, like a carefully woven brocade.
The fox's eyes were like bright gems, smart and curious. It stared at Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou, its eyes full of innocent light.
Their ears sometimes prick up alertly, listening to even the slightest movement around them;
Sometimes it droops down playfully, looking adorable.
The small nose kept twitching, and it looked like it was trying to distinguish a strange and new smell. It was so cute.
Their tails are fluffy and soft, swaying gently behind them, like a bunch of furry little brooms.
Some fox spirits narrowed their eyes slightly, raised the corners of their mouths, and revealed a row of neat white teeth. They looked like they were smiling sweetly, or like they were greeting Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou in a friendly manner.
Some foxes opened their big round eyes, tilted their heads, and looked confused and curious, as if they were thinking about the purpose of the two uninvited guests;
Some of the foxes blinked their eyes and trembled their ears gently, with their furry faces full of playfulness and agility, making people want to reach out and touch them.
Chao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go up to communicate with them, but the foxes suddenly turned around and ran away.
They ran a few steps and then stopped, looking back at Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou, as if they were leading them somewhere.
Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou looked at each other and decided to follow Linghu.
They walked through the flowers, around the stream, and came to another corner of the cave.
There is a huge stone wall here, which is engraved with strange patterns and symbols.
Chao Yao observed carefully, and felt vaguely that these patterns seemed to have some mysterious connection with the Nine Yang Divine Tree.
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a wave in the space, indicating that Qing Mu Kui had made new movements.
Chao Yao hurried back to the previous place with Xiao Shitou and entered the space again.
Qingmu Kui's eyelids trembled slightly, and Chao Yao quickly let it out.
After a few breaths, Qing Mu Kui slowly opened his eyes.
After Qingmu Kui woke up, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he soon realized that it was Chao Yao who saved him.
It looked at Chao Yao, and there was less hostility in its eyes and more gratitude.
"Thank you, human monk." Although Qingmu Kui's voice was still low, it was no longer filled with anger.
Chao Yao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Qing Mu Kui to thank her.
"Thank you for your courtesy, senior. We just stumbled upon it by accident." Chao Yao said.
Qing Mu Kui stood up. The wounds on his body had not yet healed completely, but his momentum had recovered a little.
"Why didn't you just steal the Nine Suns Divine Tree and leave while I was poisoned?"
Chao Yao looked into Qing Mu Kui's eyes calmly and said sincerely: "Senior, although you have driven us away many times, you have never really hurt us. As a human being, we should repay kindness with kindness and uphold justice with justice. It is difficult for us to take advantage of others' misfortunes."
Qing Mukui listened, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "At such a young age, it is rare to have such a character."
Little Stone echoed, "Senior Qing Mukui, my sister and I have always respected your strength, and we also believe that kindness will always be rewarded."
Qing Mukui nodded slightly and said, "This Nine Suns Divine Tree is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, and it is not impossible to give it to you. But if you want to get it, you still need to pass the test."
When Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou heard this, hope shone in their eyes: "Please tell me, senior, no matter what the test is, we are willing to give it a try."
Qing Mukui said slowly: "Deep in this cave, there is a maze with many traps and dangers. If you can get out of the maze within three days, the Nine Yang Divine Tree will be yours."
Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou did not hesitate at all and responded in unison: "Thank you, senior. We will set off now."
So, the two of them walked towards the maze deep in the cave to face unknown challenges.
