The Ethereal Clan does not have a good reputation on the Divine Martial Continent. At least Xuan Lao holds a deep disdain for such clansmen. Ye Feng, unaware of the truth, dared not reveal his identity upon learning the true identity of the others. He could only silently watch them leave from the shadows and began to contemplate his next course of action.
"Previously in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm, I seemed to have seen that Yuan Yun from the Ethereal Clan. I didn't expect to encounter them again in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. Could it be that the Ethereal Clan has some connection with the Demon Race?" Ye Feng shook his head and confirmed that the three had already reached Lake Bottom before swimming out from the reef.
The mysterious cave at Lake Bottom was currently quite calm. However, the battle between the three and the Fish Demon Beast attracted a large number of fish-like monsters from across the lake. Fortunately, Ye Feng was at a safe distance from them, allowing him to use the Conceal Breath Technique to quietly evade the various fish-like monsters gathering around.
Finally reaching Lake Bottom, Ye Feng was taken aback by the sight of the Mysterious Cave Entrance. From a distance, it did not seem large, but upon closer inspection, he found it had a diameter of several hundred feet. As Ye Feng approached, a powerful suction force suddenly emerged from within the cave, forcing him to exert all his Vital Energy just to stabilize himself.
"I thought suction would only occur during an eruption period; I didn't expect it to be present even during normal times, albeit not as strong." Ye Feng smiled wryly. The current suction was manageable for him; he needed to hurry and search along the edge of the cave entrance to see if he could find the Heavenly Demon Flower he needed.
Ye Feng wasted no time and immediately began searching carefully along the edge of the cave entrance. The underwater terrain at this location was extremely complex, with various rocks and aquatic plants mixed together. Relying solely on his eyesight, an ordinary person would find it difficult to discern anything even after spending considerable time. Fortunately, Ye Feng could rely on his Soul Thought to probe, and with the magical fluctuations of the Heavenly Demon Flower being exceptionally prominent under his Soul Thought's investigation, he quickly located three Heavenly Demon Flowers.
The petals were as black as crystal, flowing with an enigmatic power. Ye Feng knew that this was a force resulting from the fusion of Mystical Demon Power and Heaven and Earth Origin Power. According to his manual, this power had great benefits for physical bodies and could be directly reused; however, refining it into Heavenly Demon Pills would enhance its efficacy even further.
Without overthinking it, Ye Feng followed the harvesting method recorded in his manual and used a jade spade to dig up the Heavenly Demon Flowers from their roots, placing them into a pre-prepared Jade Box.
After working for a while and before another eruption occurred at the Mysterious Cave Entrance, Ye Feng secured the Heavenly Demon Flowers and resurfaced.
To avoid encountering the previous three members of the Ethereal Clan again, Ye Feng deliberately swam a distance away from Lake Bottom before quietly coming ashore.
After briefly recovering, Ye Feng did not plan to leave just yet. Firstly, he sensed that there were many mysterious power fluctuations similar to those of Heavenly Demon Flowers near the inner part of the cave entrance. Secondly, it seemed that those three members of the Ethereal Clan had ulterior motives; especially considering their mention of treasures that prompted them to take such risks here—these were certainly not ordinary items.
After some contemplation, Ye Feng decided to take a risk and investigate further. He once again activated Conceal Breath Technique and submerged back into Lake Bottom according to the positions sensed through his Soul Thought.
It seemed that having learned from their previous lesson, those three mysterious members of the Ethereal Clan did not activate their Vitality Shield this time but instead used a strange staff to create an independent space in the water, isolating themselves from both water and pressure.
"A spatial Treasure Artifact? I didn't expect that the Ethereal Clan could utilize spatial talents so effectively!" Ye Feng was greatly astonished. It is known that only Powerful Beings above Golden Core Stage in cultivation realms could construct small independent spaces using spiritual energy.
The oddly shaped staff did not break through the water surface but instead formed an independent space. This allowed those three members of the Ethereal Clan to appear as if they were in water while actually being outside it, thus avoiding detection by any fish-like monsters at Lake Bottom.
"Miss, this 'Void Staff' passed down by Elder is capable of being used in such places; it's truly eye-opening," said one excited attendant following behind Mysterious Girl as he carefully examined the mysterious staff in her hand. He noticed that a blue gem at its tip emitted faint light all around—this light belonged to spatial power and would go unnoticed by ordinary people lacking spatial talents.
"Of course! Old Xu, this Void Staff is one of our few sacred artifacts left in the Ethereal Clan. However, this Void Staff in Miss's hand is merely a replica with limited uses. Even so, its value is beyond our imagination. Elder Yuan specifically bestowed this treasure upon Miss; he likely anticipated today's situation. This also shows how significant Miss's status is within our Ethereal Clan," said another tall attendant proudly.
Called the Young Lady, the Mysterious Girl remained silent, feeling a vague sense of unease. Earlier, while at the lake, she had a fleeting sensation of being watched. Although this feeling vanished quickly and there were no signs of anyone around the lake, her cautious nature prevented her from letting her guard down.
"Be careful; do not let anyone discover our whereabouts. As you know, the Ethereal Clan is considered a taboo existence on the Divine Martial Continent. Even when we are alone, we should avoid mentioning those three words lightly. If some Powerful Being discovers us, we won't even know how we died."
The two attendants were taken aback by her words and quickly nodded with pale faces. They almost forgot that they were in the territory of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. As a Heavenly Level Sect, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was filled with experts, and it was possible that some reclusive Powerful Beings could use Soul Thought from afar to overhear their previous conversation.
"Yes, Young Lady, we were careless. We will never mention those three words again!"
The three fell silent once more. Under the protection of the Void Staff's void barrier, they descended rapidly and soon approached the Mysterious Cave Entrance that Ye Feng had previously explored.
"This is indeed the place!" The Mysterious Girl's expression brightened, and her earlier tension dissipated.
"Doomsday Abyss... I never expected that there would truly be a Doomsday Abyss at the bottom of this lake. According to legend, these demon caves were formed during the Ancient Era and lead directly to the interior of the Ancient Demon Palace. The reason for the scale of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons must be due to the Doomsday Abyss," Xu's Retainer said nervously.
The tall attendant added, "People believe that the true secret of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons lies within its depths. In reality, its secret is in what they call the outer area, which they consider safe enough to designate as a Trial Ground. If the Doomsday Abyss erupts, who knows how many demonic creatures will emerge? At that time, I fear that the Trial Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will be completely wiped out."
The Mysterious Girl shook her head. "This Doomsday Abyss seems much smaller than I imagined. The Demonic Energy here is not as dense as described in books. It must be a dead pit and may not lead directly to the main hall of the Ancient Demon Palace. However, since there is Demonic Energy emanating from it, it should at least reach a side hall. We must quickly set up a Mystical Formation around it to conceal its aura. If this Doomsday Abyss is discovered by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"
"Understood!" The two attendants nodded eagerly and each took out a Command Flag. The Mysterious Girl also pulled out a jade circular disk from her bosom.
Ye Feng, who had been observing them, although unable to hear their conversation clearly, could guess from their tense expressions and cautious actions how important this Mysterious Cave Entrance was to them.
"What exactly is this place? They seem well-prepared and must know something about that cave entrance," Ye Feng thought increasingly alarmed and decided to continue following them. If there were indeed some extraordinary treasures in that mysterious cave, he did not want them falling into the hands of the Ethereal Clan.
After taking out their Command Flags and Arrays, the three began chanting obscure incantations before throwing their tokens and Arrays directly down towards the Doomsday Abyss.
At that moment, just as the Doomsday Abyss began to erupt, the surrounding suction force gradually intensified, causing nearby waters to become noticeably agitated. From deep within the mysterious cave came chilling roars as if some powerful entity was hidden inside.
A black vortex slowly rose from within the cave as surrounding waters became increasingly turbulent. The three individuals closer to the cave entrance grew even more anxious; they understood well about the potential Demonic Energy Whirlpool that could emerge from the Doomsday Abyss.
"The Demonic Energy Whirlpool is about to erupt; we must hurry!" The Mysterious Girl said in a low voice, her eyes shining like stars in the night sky.
The two attendants nodded repeatedly; given how urgent the situation was, they had no choice but to bite their tongues and spit their blood onto their Command Flags.
Sizzle!
It was as if a basin of water had been splashed onto a burning iron object, and the light silver glow on the Command Flag surged dramatically. As the final incantation fell, the Command Flag suddenly expanded to over three zhang, its wide surface covering an area of four to five zhang.
Even at the bottom of Thousand Zhang Lake, where the water pressure was extremely strong, the surface of the Command Flag still floated slowly under the silver light. Following this, the Array thrown by the Mysterious Girl also surged upward. The Array erupted with beams of blue light, pulling the two Command Flags to its sides and causing them to rotate slowly around it. Ultimately, it transformed into a massive Golden Barrier that suppressed the Demonic Energy Whirlpool above, completely covering the mysterious cave.
The Demonic Energy Whirlpool, which was just about to erupt, immediately calmed down under the suppression of the light shield. The turbulent water flow also returned to tranquility, and the powerful pulling force emanating from within the cave dissipated without a trace.
Ye Feng stared in shock at the Golden Barrier above the Mysterious Cave Entrance, his face filled with disbelief. He was well aware of the power of that black whirlpool inside and never expected it to be directly suppressed by a formation set up by three people on short notice.
"The Ethereal Clan is indeed so powerful?" Ye Feng had to readjust his view of the Ethereal Clan. He had originally thought that Xuan Lao had overreacted a bit since this race, which was on the verge of decline and extinction, had suffered oppression from the entire Divine Martial Continent.
After completing the Array and Command Flag setup, the Mysterious Girl let out a sigh of relief. Although there had been some turbulence during the process, even making her suspect whether someone was secretly watching, fortunately, the final result was quite perfect.
The Golden Barrier covering the cave gradually faded from sight, along with the Array and Command Flag, completely concealing their forms. The Lake Bottom returned to calmness, and even that Doomsday Abyss, which resembled the mouth of a giant beast, disappeared from view.
"If we weren't deliberately approaching this area, no one should discover the existence of Doomsday Abyss. Now we need to hurry and inform the elders in our clan about its specific location," Xu's Retainer said solemnly.
"After the trial is over, you will handle this matter. Be sure to pay attention and avoid attracting the attention of Heavenly Mechanism Sect!" said the Mysterious Girl.
