Chapter 3526: The Four Tunnels
Duan Ling Tian was slightly worried upon hearing Feng Qing Yang’s words. He tightly restrained his Divine Consciousness immediately. Just as he calmed down, Feng Qing Yang carried him into the dense blood mist. Killing intent assaulted him from all directions in just an instant before it suddenly vanished. He instinctively turned to look at Feng Qing Yang and discovered beads of sweat rolling down Feng Qing Yang’s face. It was his first time seeing Feng Qing Yang in such a state.
Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian was brought into a cave located at a corner of the valley. He could sense subtle life and death auras lingering in the cave.
Feng Qing Yang released Duan Ling Tian to let him explore the place as soon as they entered the cave. Then, he said, “You can use your Divine Consciousness in here…”
The walls of the cave were filled with some complex inscriptions as they traveled deeper into the cave. The inscriptions looked ancient.
Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness curiously to probe the inscriptions on the wall. With that, what felt like an all-powerful and ancient aura swept toward him before the sounds of explosions and war cries suddenly rang in his mind.
Duan Ling Tian hastily withdrew his Divine Consciousness and asked in shock, “What’s this place? It feels like the inscriptions were messing with my mind when I probed it…” After a moment, he asked, “Master, how did you bypass the danger outside before coming into this cave? It seems impossible for someone who has yet to attain godhood to safely pass through the valley or the other places before entering the cave…”
In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, before his master attained godhood, it should be impossible for his master to safely cross the other places and the valley before entering the cave, which was a safe place.
Upon hearing this question, Feng Qing Yang remained silent for a moment before he finally said with a dark expression, “It’s all thanks to Kuang Ling, the sword spirit of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword. After my divine artifact was destroyed, he stayed in my body briefly. I would’ve died outside the valley after entering the Asura Hell if it weren’t for him. He sacrificed himself so I could live. He perished after I safely arrived at this place…”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian instantly felt guilty for making Feng Qing Yang recall these painful memories. “I apologize, master. I wasn’t aware of this matter…”
Kuang Ling was the sword spirit of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword that Feng Qing Yang carried with him. Although Duan Ling Tian had never met him before, he had heard from Elder Huo that Kuang Ling was the one who brought Elder Huo away in the past. He had also learned from Elder Huo that Kuang Ling was very loyal to Feng Qing Yang. As someone who also owned a divine artifact with a spirit, he naturally knew how loyal artifact spirits could be. If Huang’er had perished like Kuang Ling, he knew he would have a difficult time accepting it as well. Hence, he could understand Feng Qing Yang’s feelings.
“It’s alright. It’s all in the past.” Feng Qing Yang sighed and shook his head before he swiftly changed the topic. “When I first arrived outside the valley, I extended my Divine Consciousness into the valley. As a result, I almost died from the heavy killing intent in the valley. At that time, I had tried to resist using my Destructive Sword Dao, and coincidentally, I felt a resonance with this place while I fought for my life. You should’ve sensed the death and life auras when we came to this place, right?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Yes. However, I couldn’t really pinpoint their locations. I could only pinpoint one of them.”
“It’s hard to locate them unless they lead you to them…” Feng Qing Yang said, “Previously, I was led by the auras to this place. That’s how I survived in a place where even weaker gods would find it difficult to survive…”
Feng Qing Yang led Duan Ling Tian further into the cave through a tunnel. The walls of the cave here were smooth and reflected the light. It was simply furnished with a few chairs, a table, and a bed. A few tunnel entrances could be seen as well.
Feng Qing Yang took the initiative to explain, “In the beginning, I had no idea where the tunnels led. After cultivating and recuperating in here for a time, I began to explore the tunnels. When my condition wasn’t so good, I couldn’t enter the tunnels at all. I found a cultivation room at the end of one of the tunnels. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy there is much better as well. Although there were still some impurities, they were much easier to purify. That’s the place where I successfully attained godhood and became an elementary god. After attaining godhood, I created two clones using the law of earth and the law of destruction respectively. The clone from the law of destruction usually has to stay within a certain range of me. After that, I continued exploring the tunnels.”
Then, Feng Qing Yang pointed to another tunnel and continued to say, “I was trapped in this tunnel while I was exploring it. I was trapped there for years. Fortunately, I was able to cultivate there. When I finally became an advanced god, I was finally able to leave the tunnel. At that time, I had already sent my clone from the law of earth out of the Asura Hell back to the Solitary Destructive Heaven and regained my position as the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. I needed the clone to help me leave this place at that time. When I was already capable of leaving this place, the clone brought Meng Luo back to this place. I didn’t leave since I was curious about the other two tunnels. After all, the first two tunnels had benefited me in different ways. Even when I was stuck in the second tunnel, I benefited from it in the end. I wouldn’t have been able to become an advanced god in such a short time if it weren’t for the tunnels. It did not take long after that before I explored the third tunnel. That’s where I discovered the room that’s similar to the chamber of laws that contained the law of time that I mentioned to you earlier…”
Duan Ling Tian finally understood why Feng Qing Yang still did not leave this place even though he was capable of doing so. As it turned out, the tunnels all held fortuitous encounters. After a while, he asked, “Master, are you planning to leave your physical body here until you’re done exploring the fourth and final tunnel?”
“The final tunnel is rather complicated,” Feng Qing Yang said as he shook his head, “Although I planned to explore it after I become a King of Gods, I have a feeling I still wouldn’t be able to explore that tunnel. Even when I joined forces with my clones, I was still unable to enter it. Hence, I plan to leave after becoming a King of Gods and return to explore it after I become a Lord of Gods.”
Duan Ling Tian was surprised by these words. “Which tunnel is it?”
“The one on the left,” Feng Qing Yang replied after pointing at one of the tunnels.
Swoosh!
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew past Duan Ling Tian, and he saw a figure appear out of thin air. For him to be unable to catch the figure’s movements, he knew its speed had to be incredibly fast. When the figure finally came to a stop, he discovered the figure resembled Feng Qing Yang despite its cold aura.
“Master, is this your physical body?”
The clone from the law of earth suddenly flashed and merged with the figure that just arrived as soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell.
“That’s right. Currently, the two clones have returned to my body. Come. I’ll lead you to that room to comprehend the law of time. You can bring your family and friends out at that time as well. If they can’t handle the pressure, you can let them enter your Little World again. Previously, I brought Meng Luo to the cultivation room first instead of bringing him to the chamber that contains the law of time. However, he could not enter that room. Hence, I’m not sure if the chamber that contains the law of time will reject you or your family and friends…”
