Chapter 869: Cave

It was pitch-black without the slightest light.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming could instantly observe everything around him when he used his mental power.

He was inside a round passage, and it was still dark ahead. Moreover, his mental power was somewhat restricted inside here, where he could only probe a limited area, hence he did not know what exactly was after the darkness.

Ou Yangming shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He was indeed too reckless this time but then again, who would have thought that a hold would open up on the giant tree?

Furthermore, the surging suction force also caught Ou Yangming off guard. Needless to say, he did not resist being sucked inside because he did not sense any danger here.

If not, if he would be in danger, he would have exposed his real power without any hesitation to break free from the suction force.

Ou Yangming suddenly understood something when he stared into the distance in the passage.

He figured that the end of the passage would lead him to a place that was similar to a secret realm, and this passage was simply a path to communicate with the Spiritual Realm.

The young fellow had a vague feeling that something was attracting him inside the secret realm.

There were uncountable secrets inside the Forest of Death, so much so that even the 2 Venerable Ones in Huixun City did not know all of them. They were acknowledged by numerous rogue cultivators and gained splendid achievements when they built the city, but they had only scratched the surface in terms of the forest’s development.

Therefore, Ou Yangming did not find it strange to find a passage to a secret realm in this bizarre place.

King Kong’s message was delivered to his sea of consciousness. He replied to it without any hesitation and asked it to hold its horses.

This was because Ou Yangming wanted to go inside the secret realm to see what was there. As such, he did not want King Kong to go mad outside. If the king kong accidentally destroyed the tree, nobody knew if the passage would still remain.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming’s ears twitched. He moved sideways a little, then a strong wind brushed past his body and fell hard on the ground.

“Woof...”

A furious roar was heard coming from not far in front of Ou Yangming.

After hearing the sound, Ou Yangming was immediately relieved, and he smiled faintly.

‘Why did this fella come down here too?’

Sure enough, he received another message in his sea of consciousness from King Kong through the soul contract between them.

After comforting the indignant king kong again, Ou Yangming took a deep breath and uttered, “Big Yellow.”

Big Yellow stopped roaring and responded embarrassedly, “Lil’ Ming, I’ve come to accompany you.”

Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh. “Are you here to accompany me, or did you accidentally fall inside?”

The big yellow dog rolled its eyes and answered, “How could that small entrance trouble me? I wouldn’t have fallen into this place if I didn’t want to accompany you.”

‘This fella’s really stubborn.’ Ou Yangming shook his head.

The entrance appeared extremely oddly such that Ou Yangming could not perceive how it was triggered. King Kong had made repeated attempts outside but was still clueless, so it was blocked from entering the tree.

Ou Yangming was suddenly moved. ‘If that’s the case, why can Big Yellow and I come inside? Do we share a similarity? But even if there’s a similarity between us, it’ll only be the fact that we’re both from the lower realm.

‘Is this similarity the condition to open the entrance?’

He did not believe this.

“Lil’ Ming, what do we do now?” Big Yellow was rather anxious when it looked around.

It was courageous but ever since it entered the Spiritual Realm and encountered many powerhouses, they blew its confidence and even made it doubt its life as a dog. Thus, it could not help but be more timid and cautious inside this peculiar place.

Ou Yangming answered after pondering for a brief moment, “Let’s walk out of this passage first. It won’t be good for us to just be stuck here.” Following that, he ran toward the end of the passage.

Big Yellow was startled for a while, but it quickly followed behind Ou Yangming.

With that, the human and the dog moved one after another. They did not communicate much, but they happened to recall the time they entered the Chaos Cave in the lower realm.

This moment was very similar to that.

A faint warm feeling lingered in their hearts. Even the pitch-black tunnel seemed to have turned warm.

Big Yellow was careful at first but as they continued to go deeper into the passage, an unusual color was seen on its face.

“Lil’ Ming, something seems to be calling out to me there!” It expressed to the young fellow.

Although it knew it would be pointless for it to speak softly if an almighty being was eavesdropping on them, it still lowered its voice subconsciously.

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. “You feel it too?”

Big Yellow was startled. “Lil’ Ming, do you feel it too?”

The young fellow nodded sternly.

He finally became aware that it was indeed not accidental that he and Big Yellow came inside. The only thing was that he did not know if a blessing or a misfortune was waiting for them ahead.

“Be careful but don’t be too worried,” Ou Yangming comforted Big Yellow then said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

He quickened his pace slightly and finally left the weird passage after 15 minutes.

The instant they left the passage, they seemed to have gone past an invisible wall, which was the unique feeling of entering a secret realm. Back when they entered the Wutong Tree’s secret realm, they also experienced the same thing.

They were suddenly greeted with light. As expected, a different world existed at the end of the passage.

Nevertheless, this world did not have beautiful hills and waters like the Wutong Tree’s secret realm. It was a massive underground cave.

A queer aura filled the air inside the cave. There was a hint of lifelessness in it, but it fluctuated a little the moment Ou Yangming and Big Yellow entered the cave.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked at each other. They clearly sensed the fluctuation, thus they became alert right away.

Even so, the fluctuation only happened once, then the aura became as still as dead water again.

Ou Yangming released his mental power to probe the cave. He was surprised to find that the feeling of his mental power being restrained in the passage had disappeared. Moreover, the young fellow’s mental power became livelier than it was before and could probe further as if it was a fish that was let into water.

Moreover, the quiet giant head inside his sea of consciousness drifted and kept moving as though it was attracted by the aura in the outside world and became active.

The young fellow was moved. ‘Is this secret realm related to the Dragons?’

He glanced at Big Yellow, which was also in high spirits. It looked like it was radiating a strong life force.

Ou Yangming tensed up a little. He realized that not only he, but Big Yellow also felt comfortable in here. Besides, when he sensed the impatient giant head inside his sea of consciousness, he vaguely understood that the change was probably related to the Devouring Powers that they possessed.

No wonder King Kong could not enter the giant tree no matter what he tried. It turned out that he was not lacking in strength but simply did not possess the Devouring Power.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had enjoyed the Devouring Powers since they were in the lower realm and improved their cultivation bases. They still needed to rely on pieces of equipment to use the power, but the benefits of the power had long been deeply engraved in their bones.

Perhaps this was the reason they could successfully enter the cave.

“Lil’ Ming, this... Looks like a great place!” Big Yellow blinked and shouted excitedly.

Ou Yangming nodded after some thought. “Be careful.”

It did not seem like there was danger here, but Ou Yangming still uttered those words after holding back for a long time.

Big Yellow twitched its nose hard, then its eyes flickered in a gorgeous color. “Here—let’s go here.”

Ou Yangming was moved. Judging from how Big Yellow was acting, it had probably found something good. He nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

After receiving Ou Yangming’s permission, Big Yellow was unusually happy. It ran at lightning speed toward a certain spot inside the cave.

Ou Yangming flashed and followed closely behind it. The human and the dog seemed to have transformed into 2 light wisps of smoke as they went through several passages and entered a considerably boundless garden.

There were many forks along the way, but Ou Yangming remembered them well. Given his memory, he could certainly retrace his footsteps. However, his eyelids could not help but twitch when he arrived at this garden.

Various strange plants were planted inside the garden, and they were incredibly precious. It was worth noting that the few species that Ou Yangming could recognize were shockingly valuable.

That said, he could only recognize plants that were planted at the corners of the courtyard; he did not recognize the ones that were planted in the center.

Whether Ou Yangming was in the lower realm or the Spiritual Realm, he was always interested in the book collections of the various influential sects.

This was because he knew he did not have a solid foundation and was not knowledgeable enough. It was due to his young age, which could not be changed within a short period. This was why the young fellow read all sorts of books to increase his knowledge.

Having said that, he could only recognize less than a third of the plants here.

When he turned to look, he saw that Big Yellow had unknowingly arrived at the center of the courtyard and was drooling at a rainbow-colored bowl-sized flower.
