Chapter 1266: Cave Abode Appears

rters in Japan. It wasn't surprising, to say the least. She went to find Lieutenant Wei and proposed the idea that the other party might have defected."Go see her and then we'll talk."Wei, the deputy...Five ripples stood on a sand dune, surrounded by nothing. Their eyes and senses could see only the endless desert. They had come so close to the inner circle that even plants and animals were almost extinct here, with only the occasional sandworm hiding deep within the dunes.

Mu Sheng was the first to raise a question, and everyone else shared the same curiosity, all their gazes focusing on Mo Shangchen.

Mo Shangchen then smiled and said:

"My friends, please remain calm! Time has not yet arrived. There are still five to seven days before the cave dwelling manifests."

"Fellow traveler, the appearance of this cave dwelling is related to the moon's trajectory."

Ripple asked casually.

"As Dao You said, the cave was placed into a special space by a cultivator who had reached the Nascent Soul stage using the spatial superposition technique. It will only appear at a specific time. All we have to do now is wait patiently."

Mo Shangchen gave an affirmative reply.

Du Yan and the other two finally understood the key point, and immediately set up a tent to rest.

Of course, Ripple and Dust on the Road have already been tacitly grouped together, with the two taking charge of keeping watch first.

Dodo was also curious about this powerful cave, so she extended her roots and followed them down the sand, wanting to see what was below. Unfortunately, despite extending for half a day, her roots yielded nothing.

Only a few adult sand worms were found. These were comparable to beings in the fusion stage. Doddo hurriedly pinched her roots and bypassed them from afar, also sending this news to Ripple.

"I know, don't probe around anymore, withdraw your roots. I think that cave dwelling is not in the desert, here is only related to the present world of the cave dwelling, and if I'm not mistaken, it's estimated that within five days, the cave dwelling will appear."

Ripples of sound transmission.

"Master, have you figured it out"

Dodo obediently retracted her roots and curiously asked, "Didn't Master seem to be bad at divination"

"Does this even need calculating With how smoothly we got to Zhongwei, we'd be waiting forever."

A ripple touched the corner of her lips.

"Aha, I understand!"

The next day passed in peaceful tranquility. As the sun set and the moon rose, the sand in the desert began to flow once more, and the five travelers boarded the dust-covered flying vessel known as Mo Shang Chen.

Mo Shangchen stood at the bow of the boat, his face grim as he held a compass and began to calculate his bearings. Beneath his feet, the flying vessel continued to be pushed forward by the sand, its course still out of his control.

"Is the flowing sand a way to determine the precise location of the cave entrance"

Du Yan expressed skepticism about this.

Then it depends on the capabilities of our fellow traveler from afar.

Mu Sheng said nonchalantly, anyway, even if they couldn't find the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator, their trip was already full of gains. Having the harvest of a Nascent Soul cultivator's cave dwelling was just icing on the cake.

The ripples swept over the three people, finding that the three disciples of Yuntai Sect had changed their attitudes, or perhaps they were now more confident.

"Everyone, get ready, the cave dwelling is about to appear."

Mo Shangchen suddenly spoke up, reminding.

Immediately, he stood on his compass device, hovering in mid-air. Lian Ri rode a flying sword and stopped beside Mo Shangchen. Du Yan stepped on her red silk ribbon, Mu Sheng and Ye Qing stood poised in mid-air on their respective natal swords, all waiting.

Even in the Yuanying stage, one could levitate and stand in midair. However, due to the unique nature of the boundless desert, they could only stabilize their forms in mid-air with the aid of magic artifacts.

The next second, a white beam of moonlight shone down, like a projection on a screen. A picturesque landscape of mountains and clear water appeared before everyone's eyes. Then, the picture continued to enlarge until it finally stopped at the entrance of a mountain cave.

"Isn't this a mirage"

Mu Sheng frowned.

"Yes, but not entirely!"

On the street, Mo Shangchen confidently said.

"How did this get in here This is clearly a phantom."

Then Ye Qing continued.

"You won't know if it's real until you go inside."

A flash of blue-gray light crossed the fox's eyes as it grinned mischievously.

"What Ida said is correct!"

Mo Shangchen seized the opportunity and, like a valiant general leading the charge, rushed towards the phantom in mid-air. In an instant as he disappeared into the phantom, his aura vanished.

Rpples followed close behind, Du Yan gritted her teeth and kept up with Ripples. Mu Sheng didn't want to be alone with Ye Qing, so she immediately soared in with her sword. Ye Qing naturally didn't want to be left alone, so with a burst of speed, she outran Mu Sheng and rushed into the shadow.

After the breath of the five people disappeared, the phantom lingered for less than three breaths. After the moon rose, it also slowly faded and vanished without a trace, and the center of the endless desert returned to peace.

When Mo Shangchen's figure appeared in the cave dwelling, the joy on his face could not be contained. He had succeeded, he finally found Yun Xi's cave dwelling.

As the ripples landed, they slowly released their divine consciousness to investigate. After a moment, she raised an eyebrow. They were no longer in the endless desert, but rather deep within an ancient forest.

Du Yan, Mu Sheng, and Ye Qing arrived here and carefully released their divine sense to investigate, avoiding any traps.

Mo Shangchen once again held the compass in his hand, muttered a few incantations, and then said with a smile:

"We have arrived at the Cloud Rest Venerable's abode."

"Fellow traveler, do you know where this is"

Ripple asked.

"I see, this must be the Purple Moon Mountains. The location marks the entrance to the cave dwelling according to that fake map."

Mo Shangchen pondered his words for a moment before explaining.

"What do you mean If this is the entrance, why did the other cultivators say they couldn't find the cave"

Mu Sheng couldn't hold back and was the first to ask a question.

If I'm not mistaken, the marked location of the cave dwelling on the map is correct, but they haven't found the right way to enter it.

But to reach the true abode of Yunxi Venerable, they must pass through the entrance of the boundless desert. Otherwise, they can only wander around it, able to see but not enter. Over time, they will naturally believe that this is a fake map.

After a moment of thought, Lian Ri understood Yun Xi's meaning and explained casually.

"Yes, Idou-san is right."

"With a smile on his face, Mo Shangchen said."

"Yun Xi is a cultivator who has achieved the Nascent Soul stage. He didn't want his lifelong collection to be inherited by someone incompetent, so he came up with this setting. On one hand, it tests our intellect, on the other hand, it also tests our courage and strength, after all, not everyone has the guts and determination to enter the center of the boundless desert."

Mo Shangchen explained along the ripples of words.

It seems that not only have we passed the test, but someone has already gotten ahead.

Ripple said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, she had already discovered the noise coming from the cave. She could guess with her toes that it was Lian Xiye who made it.

Just like 陌上塵, several others also sensed the aura emanating from within, their expressions stiffened. After exchanging a glance, they vanished in a flash and rushed into the cave entrance.

Liàn Yī now wasn't in a hurry anymore, she lagged behind everyone else and was the last one to walk inside.

As soon as I went inside, I saw a sandworm rolling on the ground, its body almost twisted into a mess. It felt like it could break itself in the next breath.

A sword pierced out from the sandworm's body, instantly spraying a highly corrosive slime."Ripple knew that continuing would be pointless, so she gave a deadline and then left the study.Wu Yishan felt that the conversation between him and his son was very successful this time. Both parties...
