The miraculous power of the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron once again astonished Huang Yao and the others.
This type of Exotic Treasure, which possesses multiple abilities simultaneously, completely exceeded their imagination, especially considering its rare ability to float in the air.
In the Divine Martial Continent, only martial artists who have reached the Gangwu Realm and refined their Vital Energy into True Essence can possess the ability to fly. However, this ability consumes a significant amount of True Essence, and even those at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm rarely use True Essence for long-distance flight.
For this reason, a floating Treasure Artifact that requires only a small amount of Vital Energy to operate has become a coveted treasure for all martial artists.
Previously, in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect responsible for hidden rescue operations were temporarily granted permission to use it by the Sect's higher-ups. Once the trial was over, it was immediately reclaimed.
Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect need a substantial amount of contribution points to exchange for a floating Treasure Artifact, making it impossible for ordinary Outer Sect Disciples to possess one.
"This treasure of yours is simply too extraordinary; not only can it enhance Soul Thought, but it can also carry people while flying!" Huang Yao said with a wry smile. As the Crown Prince of Qin, he was arguably the wealthiest among them, yet even he did not own a floating Treasure Artifact.
"It was bestowed by my family elders for temporary use; after some time, I will return it," Ye Feng explained. He understood that the dual powers exhibited by the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron were too shocking and had to find another excuse.
"Now that you mention it, I feel somewhat better. However, your family is willing to lend you such a precious item; they must hold you in high regard," Zong Nan said with a sigh of relief, waving his hand.
Ye Feng shrugged and did not want to continue on this topic. He looked at the pitch-black Underground Passage and said solemnly, "The noise just now was too loud; it will likely attract the attention of Rogue Bandits soon. We cannot afford to delay any longer. Everyone, hurry up and follow me into the passage."
After saying this, Ye Feng leaped onto the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron with steady footing.
Huang Yao and the others nodded, realizing that now was not the time to discuss this matter further. They jumped onto the Four Elemental Cauldron one after another.
The Four Elemental Cauldron remained stable and carried five people without any tremors.
This was Ye Feng's first time using the floating ability of the Four Elemental Cauldron, and he felt slightly nervous. However, due to his powerful Soul Thought, he quickly mastered how to operate the Four Elemental Cauldron.
"Everyone, be careful, we are about to depart!" Ye Feng reminded, forming a hand seal as a silver light shot out from his fingertips.
The Four-Element Cauldron glowed brightly once again. As Ye Feng executed the hand seal, it transformed into a streak of light, racing swiftly towards the Underground Passage.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Due to the incredible speed of flight, the roaring wind sounded like thunder in their ears.
Huang Yao and the others did not expect the Four-Element Cauldron to be so fast; it seemed to have surpassed some small Floating Vessels. Caught off guard, they nearly fell off the Four-Element Cauldron.
Fortunately, a layer of light shield surrounded the Four-Element Cauldron, firmly supporting their bodies and preventing them from tumbling out.
"Sorry, this is my first time mastering flight," Ye Feng said apologetically with a smile. He performed another hand seal, and as the silver light flickered, the speed of the Four-Element Cauldron gradually slowed down.
"If I had known you had this item to assist us, we might as well have returned to the Sect for support," Zong Nan murmured with a pale face.
Because of the rapid descent, he had almost thought that the Four-Element Cauldron had lost its levitation ability and that they would plummet directly into the underground passage.
As the speed of the Four-Element Cauldron gradually decreased, everyone finally regained their composure and began to observe their surroundings in the passage.
"The passage does not go straight down; around three thousand zhang deep, it starts to turn northwest. It seems our speculation was correct; this passage likely leads to the same location as the hidden secrets of Blue Stream Villa," Ye Feng said solemnly.
"Then we should be more cautious," Huang Yao replied with a serious expression.
Flying through the mysterious underground passage, no one dared to let their guard down. Each person maintained a high level of vigilance against any potential dangers that could arise at any moment.
After an unknown duration of flying underground, the view ahead suddenly opened up. With the faint glow emitted by the cauldron's body, they could vaguely see some outlines of dilapidated buildings not far ahead.
"Indeed, it is a hidden Underground Palace!" Huang Yao's expression immediately became excited.
Ancient Underground Ruins often conceal endless treasures and wealth. These treasures could be ancient Divine Weapons, Ten Thousand Years elixirs, or even highly ranked ancient Supreme Techniques.
"It is said that in Ancient Times, the humans on the Divine Martial Continent were hundreds of times stronger than we are now. If we can gain some benefits from this Underground Palace, it will benefit us for a lifetime!" Cheng Ze rubbed his hands together, looking at the overlapping buildings below as if they were piles of Elemental Crystals, his eyes shining with excitement.
Ye Feng remained silent. Due to practicing the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, his senses were much sharper than ordinary people, and his alertness to danger far exceeded that of typical martial artists. He always felt that this Underground Palace would not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Ye Feng attempted to command the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron to descend directly into the Underground Palace complex. However, just as it descended a short distance, a greenish light shield suddenly flashed above the Underground Palace, directly bouncing the Four-Element Cauldron away.
"Not good, it seems there is some Restriction protecting the Underground Palace above. We cannot enter directly," Ye Feng steadied the Four-Element Cauldron and frowned.
"It looks like we can only enter from the outer wall!" Huang Yao glanced around and noticed that the entire Underground Palace complex appeared boundless, stretching towards the northwest. However, at the edge of the complex near the Southeast direction of the Underground Passage, there was a structure resembling a city wall.
"That should be the outer wall of the Underground Palace. Let's fly down and see if we can find an entrance from there."
After several attempts, Ye Feng confirmed that the invisible Restriction almost enveloped the entire area above the Underground Palace. He had no choice but to follow Huang Yao's suggestion and descend outside the wall in the Southeast direction of the Underground Palace.
The existence of the Restriction indicated that some functions within the Underground Palace had not completely failed. This made Ye Feng feel slightly tense because ancient ruins often had powerful defensive formations or Restrictions built to repel external invaders.
"Just the Restriction above is already so strong; if there are indeed defensive formations inside, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, the aura here is extremely mixed; not only is there common Heaven and Earth Origin Power, but also some demonic energy and other sinister presences," Ye Feng thought to himself as he jumped down from the Four-Element Cauldron.
"Everyone be careful; we don't know if that Steel-Toothed Crocodile King is dead or not!" Huang Yao tightened her grip on her spear and said nervously.
The five quickly armed themselves and gathered closely together. After confirming that there were no threats nearby, they slowly advanced toward the direction of the Underground Palace. Moments later, they finally reached the location of the outer wall of the Underground Palace.
Looking up at the massive wall stretching endlessly before them, all five were left speechless, gasping in awe.
"Such a tall wall. When I was flying earlier, I couldn't feel the enormity of these walls," Zong Nan frowned.
The wall in front of them stood over a hundred feet high, making humans standing beneath it seem as small as ants.
They walked along the wall for a short distance and soon discovered that every few miles, there was a massive statue resembling a towering pillar. The statue depicted a humanoid beast wielding a long sword, with wings on its back. Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see two twisted black horns atop the statue's head.
The statue was lifelike, with a fierce countenance, its eyes glaring menacingly down at them as if it had detected their presence and was warning them not to attempt to step inside.
"This statue looks quite strange; could it not be human?" Huang Yao's face turned pale, and an inexplicable fear arose within him.
"It doesn't look much like a human; perhaps it's a beast or even possibly from the demon race. Could this place not be the Ancient Humanity's Ancient Underground Ruins but rather the lair of the demon race?" Cheng Ze also frowned.
"How could that be? The demon race's stronghold is in the Cursed Land; this is the Divine Martial Continent, which is countless miles away from the Cursed Land!" Zong Nan replied.
Ye Feng's expression grew more serious; he always felt as if he were being watched, and this sensation came directly from the shocking statue above him.
As they slowly approached the wall, Ye Feng attempted to project his Soul Thought into it. However, as soon as his Soul Thought touched the edge of the wall, it was immediately repelled. A terrifying backlash force caused him to grunt in pain and retreat several dozen steps before falling to the ground.
"Brother Zhou, are you okay?" Huang Yao exclaimed in surprise and hurried over to help Ye Feng up.
"There are Restrictions on the wall; my Soul Thought cannot penetrate it!"
The backlash he experienced carried a desolate aura from the Ancient Era, which not only repelled his Soul Thought but also shocked his Divine Soul hidden within Nirvana Palace.
It was Ye Feng's first time experiencing harm to his Divine Soul. After all, his Divine Soul had become extremely powerful through the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique's refinement. The fact that merely probing with his Soul Thought resulted in such consequences made Ye Feng take this matter seriously.
"It's impossible to break through the wall and enter; it might trigger some Restrictions. We can only continue searching along the wall to see if we can find an entrance," Ye Feng said helplessly.
"There's no other choice." The group led by Huang Yao, who initially wanted to try breaking through the wall, had to abandon that idea after seeing Ye Feng sustain minor injuries from merely probing with his Soul Thought. They continued to move around the wall.
After an unknown amount of time, Huang Yao, who was at the front, suddenly stopped and raised a hand to signal everyone to halt.
"Wait, it seems there’s some movement ahead." Due to the damage to his Divine Soul, Ye Feng could no longer use his Soul Thought temporarily and had to rely on Huang Yao, the strongest and most experienced among them, to lead the way.
Ye Feng looked up and saw that not far ahead, what was once an empty expanse of Ground now had a highland resembling a small hill that had appeared out of nowhere.
The "hill" was undulating, as if something was writhing on top of it.
With almost no light underground, everyone relied solely on their Vital Energy to enhance their vision and observe their surroundings.
The extent of vision enhancement provided by Vital Energy was limited, making the scene they saw extremely blurry.
Due to the damage to his Divine Soul, Ye Feng couldn't mobilize much spiritual power. However, in order to ascertain the potential threat ahead, he still made an effort to summon a trace of spiritual power to make the scene before him clearer.
"This is bad; it's the Steel-Toothed Crocodile King!" The "hill" suddenly came into focus, causing Ye Feng's brow to twitch as he nearly gasped in surprise.
