Chen Lin followed Xu Sulan all the way for three days and three nights before he sensed that the other party had stopped.
At this moment, they were already more than a thousand miles away from the edge of the Bone Wasteland. He couldn't help but be curious about how the other party had been safe and sound.
There are many monsters along the way, and even he has to be careful when dealing with them. The opponent is only in the initial stage of foundation building, but can move forward without stopping. It is estimated that he has special means.
After chasing for a while, Chen Lin also stopped.
In the distance, a mountain piled with white bones appeared before our eyes. We didn't know whether they were animal bones or human bones, or why there were so many of them. But these bones were not ordinary bones. Even from such a distance, we could still feel the strong cold energy emanating from them.
Suddenly, Chen Lin frowned.
While sensing, Xu Sulan's body began to move again, and her location was exactly in the direction of the holy mountain.
It seems that the other party's destination is exactly the same as Sun Yuliang's, which is there.
After hesitating for a moment, he still followed, but did not get close, but hung from a distance.
After most of the day, Chen Lin stopped again. At this moment, he was less than a hundred miles away from the holy mountain, while Xu Sulan had already reached the foot of the mountain.
Here Chen Lin could already clearly feel waves of strong cold and gloomy aura emanating from the holy mountain, invading his soul and making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
This made him wonder if Xu Sulan had also been possessed and controlled by an evil being like Sun Liangyu. Otherwise, with such a powerful aura emanating from the holy mountain, it would be impossible for a foundation-building cultivator to get close to the foot of the mountain.
He thought for a moment, then walked forward about a few dozen miles and found a place to hide.
This mountain is very strange, and combined with the information he got from searching Sun Yuliang's soul, he decided not to go there rashly. He should wait for Xu Sulan to come out and make plans after understanding the situation.
But after waiting for a while, Chen Lin discovered that the mark of Xu Sulan's soul had disappeared!
This made him feel suspicious.
When this happens, either the other person has entered some special space or has died.
He was wondering whether he should get closer to take a closer look, when suddenly his expression changed and he looked not far ahead. He saw three figures moving forward quickly and then disappeared from his sight in a flash.
Although the speed was very fast, he still saw clearly that two of the three people were people he knew, one was Yun Haishangren, and the other was Gu Xuan.
These three people were obviously also heading for the Holy Mountain, and seemed to be in a hurry and did not notice his peeping.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then came out from his hiding place and headed towards the holy mountain.
The people from Yunhai have been trying hard to leave this place. The fact that they appear here now may mean that there is a space node or something like that in the holy mountain, which is worth exploring.
The cold and gloomy aura above the holy mountain mainly targeted the soul and had little effect on Chen Lin, who soon reached the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the holy mountain again at this time, there is a sense of eerie and horror.
Starting from the foot of the mountain all the way up, there are piles of white bones, and most of them are human. Skulls are everywhere, and in places with a lot of them, they are piled up like mountains.
For such a huge mountain, even if the surface was just covered with a layer of bones, the number would still be staggering. It was hard for Chen Lin to imagine what had caused this situation.
After looking for a while, he began to explore around the foot of the mountain.
After finding nothing, he came to the place where Xu Sulan's soul mark disappeared.
He did not find the other person's body, which meant that he was most likely not dead, but had entered a special space. He searched carefully on both sides and found that the bones seemed to have been turned over a few dozen meters away from the mountain.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin walked up.
As soon as he stepped onto the mountain, the chilly aura suddenly intensified. He hurriedly activated his soul power to eliminate the discomfort.
When he came to the turned bones, he took out a magic flying sword and poked it a few times. He immediately felt that it was hollow inside. He lifted the bones on top and a hole half a person's height was revealed.
After a quick investigation, I found that the place was shrouded in an invisible energy and I couldn't sense what was going on inside.
It must be because of this invisible energy that the mark of Xu Sulan's soul disappeared.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Lin took out a crow puppet, placed the image stone in place, and put it in.
Sure enough, as soon as the puppet flew in, the connection was immediately cut off.
After a while, the crow puppet flew out. Chen Lin took down the image stone on it and activated it, but it was hazy and could not be seen clearly. He could only feel that it was probably a passage, slanting downward. The crow puppet flew for a while and then turned back.
After a slight hesitation, without using the puppet to explore again, Chen Lin jumped into the cave entrance.
Since the crow puppet was safe and sound, it meant that there was not much danger inside, at least not in the part near the cave entrance.
However, the puppets make too much noise and can easily alert the enemy.
After entering the cave, Chen Lin put the bones back in place, then activated his spiritual eyes and looked around.
It was indeed a passage that sloped downward at an angle. The steps underfoot were very rough and looked like they were made of bones.
After walking a few steps down, Chen Lin's expression changed.
The mark of Xu Sulan's soul can be sensed again!
At this moment, the other party was deep under the steps, remaining motionless.
He slightly activated the Soul Wing Secret Technique, allowing his body to leave the ground and float downwards.
The passage was very long and it took a while of turning left and right to reach the end.
What appears in sight is a large natural space. In the center of the space there is a small altar with a small tree growing on it.
This small tree has no green at all, no leaves, and is completely bare, but at the top of the branch there is a small skull-shaped fruit that exudes a terrifying aura.
This strange sight made Chen Lin extremely alert. After taking a deep look at the little skeleton, he continued to observe other places.
There are some steps around the altar, and on top of each step there are two small tripod-like objects with intricate patterns on them.
At this moment, Xu Sulan was standing at the bottom of the stairs, concentrating on looking at something. Her body was covered by a layer of white light. This was probably the reason why she could withstand the invasion of the cold aura.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
The reason why he came here was to obtain the space spirit crystal. Now it seems that there is none here. The space treasure obtained by the head of the Xu family should have nothing to do with this place.
But now that I'm here, I still have to find out. And since Xu Sulan can stand there safely, it means that this altar is not aggressive.
Thinking of this, he walked out directly.
"who!"
Chen Lin did not hide his body and was immediately discovered by Xu Sulan, who turned around in panic.
"Is it you?"
Seeing Chen Lin, Xu Sulan frowned and looked at him vigilantly. At the same time, she looked behind her. Only after she saw that Chen Lin had no companions did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Haha, no wonder Brother Xu didn't want to join us. It turns out he came here for a purpose. Could you tell me about the situation here?"
Chen Lin walked to the altar, glanced at the small tree above, and marveled.
Looking closely, the little skull is really a fruit. There is a fruit stalk on the skull that is connected to the tree branch. The skull around the stalk is faintly glowing with a golden luster, and it seems to have begun to mature.
At this moment, Xu Sulan also calmed down, tightly grasping the spiritual weapon-level flying sword in her hand, looking at Chen Lin and said: "You follow me!"
"How do you know?"
Chen Lin responded casually and continued to check the altar.
Seeing Chen Lin's attitude, Xu Sulan's eyes flashed with anger, but she did not flare up.
She had a feeling that the man in front of her was stronger than her and was probably not in the initial stage of foundation building. If they turned against each other, she would be the one who would suffer.
"This entrance was discovered by my father. No one else knows about it. If you hadn't followed me, how would you have found this place?"
At this time, Chen Lin finished inspecting the altar, walked up to the other party, and nodded.
He said bluntly: "Yes, I did follow you, but since your father was able to find this place, he probably didn't just come here randomly. He should have some understanding of this place. So, can you tell me about the situation here?"
"you!"
Chen Lin's attitude made Xu Sulan angry, and she suppressed her anger and said, "Why should I tell you!"
Since she dared to come here to search for treasure, she was prepared to encounter danger. With several powerful treasures on her body, she could deal with it even if the opponent was in the middle or even late stage of foundation building.
So she couldn't bear this humiliation.
However, the next moment, her expression changed and her anger disappeared instantly.
"So it's you, senior. I'm blind. Please don't blame me."
Feeling the golden elixir pressure emanating from Chen Lin, Xu Sulan's eyes showed panic and she secretly groaned in her heart.
She thought that the other party was not in the initial stage of foundation building, but she did not expect that he was a Jindan Zhenren. A Jindan powerhouse was actually mixed in the team composed mostly of Qi training cultivators. She really didn't know what he was thinking.
Could it be that he did it specifically to follow her
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't panic. As long as you tell me everything I want to know, I won't do anything to you. But if you hide something, that's not certain."
After saying that, he looked at the other person.
Xu Sulan hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Senior, whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know."
Facing Jindan Zhenren, most of the back-up plans she had prepared were of no use, so she could only take care of the present and save her life first.
Chen Lin didn't say anything more and asked directly: "Where is this place, what is the skull on the altar, and what is your purpose in coming here?"
"Reporting to the senior, I don't know where this place is. My father accidentally discovered the cave entrance when he came to the Holy Mountain to collect bone spirit flowers. However, he didn't dare to act rashly at that time. He went back to prepare and came back again. He got the outermost box, which is a property spirit stone."
Having said that, she glanced at Chen Lin, and when she saw that Chen Lin didn't say anything, she spoke again.
"But according to what my father said, as long as you get close to the altar, you will be corroded by a very strange energy. Although my father was prepared and only took the outermost box, he was still seriously injured. The main reason I came here this time is to see if I can figure out what kind of energy hurt my father and how to remove it."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to Chen Lin, tears in her eyes, and said, "I don't dare to hope for the treasures here, but if there is anything that can heal my father's injuries, please have mercy on me. I am willing to exchange all the wealth of my family for it."
Chen Lin did not respond to the other party, but looked towards the outside of the altar. There was indeed a jade box at a distance, one of which had been opened.
However, these jade boxes seem to be integrated with the altar and are placed according to some special rules.
Suddenly, he asked, "Did your father get that top-grade space attribute spirit stone from this box?"
Xu Sulan's face changed. She knew that her family's situation had been thoroughly investigated by the other party. She did not dare to hide anything and immediately replied, "Yes, according to what my father said, I got it from that box."
She pointed to the opened jade box, and then continued, "The seniors may have known that our family has a hidden spatial talent. Although it is very weak, it can still use some of the innate abilities. So when my father went to take the items in the jade box, he didn't get close, but he was still attacked."
When Chen Lin heard what the other party said, his face suddenly turned strange.
He looked him up and down, and said meaningfully: "You have given me a difficult problem!"
To replenish the energy of the Boundary Breaking Disk, in addition to space spirit crystals, the original power of those with space talent can also be used. Before, he really didn't know that this Xu family had hidden space talent, but he didn't expect the other party to say it out himself.
However, both the opponent and his father are only at the foundation-building stage, and they still have hidden talents. The origin of their talents is estimated to be very weak and cannot reach the amount required for the boundary-breaking disk. Otherwise, he really doesn't know whether he can hold on to the bottom line and extract the opponent's origin.
Xu Sulan didn't understand what was going on. She just felt that the Jindan Zhenren was looking at her as if he wanted to eat her, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Chen Lin turned his gaze back to the altar, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What type of spatial talent is inherited by your family? Do you have the ability to purify spatial attribute energy?"
It was just a casual question, but Xu Sulan nodded immediately and said, "Senior, you understand it well. I do have this ability, but it's a little weak."
She thought Chen Lin already knew everything about their family, so in order to avoid angering him, she dared not tell any lies.
Chen Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a fascinating light, and he turned to look at the other person.
Then he forced a smile and said, "Very good, you stay away and protect yourself. Don't worry about your father's injury. I can go and take a look after we leave. I am very good at treating spiritual injuries."
After saying this, without waiting for the other party to react, he took out a foundation-building puppet and controlled it to move towards one of the jade boxes.
Chen Lin came to Xu Sulan, ignored her emotions, grabbed her and retreated into the passage.
He suspected that the jade boxes outside the altar were all filled with spiritual stones with spatial attributes, whose function was to provide energy to the altar.
If that is the case, the energy extracted from so many top-grade space spirit stones should be enough to meet the needs of the Boundary Breaking Disk!
