Chapter 2372: Four Out of Five!
Under the gnawing of the Fire-eyed Flying Ants, the crystalline wall quickly became pitted and uneven.
However, it was unclear what material the crystalline wall was made of.
Those Flaming Flying Ants that had gnawed on it soon died directly.
As if they were poisoned.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Fire-eyed Flying Ants died.
You should know that these were elite ants carefully selected and trained by Zhou Yu; losing so many at once was quite painful for Zhou Yu.
Seeing the wall demolished, Zhou Yu immediately waved his hand and collected the remaining Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
Then, Zhou Yu immersed his Heart Spirit into the Four Directions Realm and found Cannibal Immortal.
"How did the interrogation go?"
"Did they talk?"
Cannibal Immortal excitedly replied:
"They confessed everything."
"Here’s the situation, there are..."
Cannibal Immortal began to tell Zhou Yu all of the information he had obtained from the mouth of the Quanrong Clan expert.
After listening, Zhou Yu realized.
The cultivation technique he had obtained earlier was not complete.
It was only one-fifth of it.
Meaning, the entire cultivation technique was divided into five parts, hidden in five caves here.
And up until now, the Quanrong Clan had basically cracked the restrictions on four parts of the cultivation technique.
Only the final cave restriction holding the cultivation technique’s general principles had yet to be broken.
The restriction of the cave containing the cultivation technique’s general principles needed the World Order to break.
According to this Quanrong Clan expert’s confession,
they had already sent out Sound Transmission Jade Talismans to their other Quanrong Clan teams, asking them to bring the World Order here.
By now, they should be on their way.
After hearing this information, Zhou Yu immediately understood.
He already had a plan—to obtain all five parts of the cultivation technique before the other Quanrong Clan teams arrived, and then leave.
With this decision in mind, Zhou Yu instructed Cannibal Immortal to dispose of the Quanrong Clan’s Primordial Spirit, then withdrew his Heart Spirit.
Using the information provided by the Quanrong Clan, Zhou Yu easily found the other three caves hiding parts of the cultivation technique, and again applied the same method, obtaining three sets of Immortal Spirit Text.
At the same time, he completely demolished the crystalline walls in these three caves.
Thus, with four parts of the cultivation technique in hand, only the final part remained—the cultivation technique’s general principles.
Though everything went exceptionally smoothly earlier, Zhou Yu now became highly alert.
After all, this final part was the most crucial cultivation technique’s general principles, and even such a prominent clan as the Quanrong Clan could not break it in a short time, indicating its high difficulty.
Therefore, they must have employed multiple heavy measures.
He had to be extremely cautious.
Soon, Zhou Yu arrived at the entrance leading to the general principles cave.
At the entrance, he was about to use the True Fire Escape Technique to enter, but he suddenly paused and stopped.
As Zhou Yu observed the surrounding environment of the entrance, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Zhou Yu touched his Storage Ring, and a set of Array Flags appeared in his hand.
This set of Array Flags was the highest-ranked set Zhou Yu possessed.
Not only were they fierce and aggressive, but they also included an Illusion Array.
Even a Integration Realm expert falling into it would be trapped for a while.
If at the Void Refinement Realm, even if one did not die, they would at least be severely injured.
Zhou Yu quickly cast spells, deploying this set of Array Flags at the cave entrance.
In doing so, he planted a contingency measure for unforeseen needs.
After deploying the Array Flags, Zhou Yu set up a Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array inside the Array Flags.
With this nested setup, the power of the formation was elevated to a new level.
Even so, Zhou Yu still did not leave.
After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand again.
A flash of fire appeared.
It was the Divine Soul Firebird.
After summoning the Divine Soul Firebird, Zhou Yu immediately communicated with it via his Heart Spirit, hiding it within the formation.
At a crucial moment, an ambush using the power of the Devouring Spirit Evil Light could inflict serious harm on any Integration Realm.
After leaving a series of measures, Zhou Yu confidently entered the final cave.
Like the other caves, this last one was also winding and deep.
Zhou Yu proceeded for a full quarter-hour before finally reaching the end.
Even from a distance, Zhou Yu sensed several powerful auras.
He immediately slowed his pace, fully activating the True Fire Escape Technique, and approached step by step.
Finally, he saw the appearance at the cave’s end.
The end of this cave was entirely different from any other cave.
The cave’s end was a spacious cavern.
Like a giant cave hollowed out from the entire mountain mass.
In the center of the giant cavern, a stone tablet towering a hundred yards tall stood.
The stone tablet was covered in Immortal Spirit Text.
Clearly, the Immortal Spirit Text on this stone tablet was the final part of the cultivation technique and its general principles.
At this moment, before the stone tablet.
Four figures sat cross-legged, contemplating the stone tablet.
They were generally similar to the Quanrong Clan cultivators in the other caves.
Some were experimenting with spells.
Some were quietly deriving insights.
At this moment, Zhou Yu’s gaze focused on a middle-aged man located in the northwest corner.
This person had a robust physique and was considered an absolute giant within the Quanrong Clan.
He carried a massive Wolf Fang Club Magic Treasure on his back.
You should know that ninety-nine percent of cultivators store their Magic Treasures in the Storage Ring, or in their internal Purple Mansion for gradual nurturing.
Few cultivators carry Magic Treasures on their backs.
Once done, it signifies compelling reasons.
Aside from this middle-aged man, there was another young man and two elders.
After a round of observation, Zhou Yu’s gaze fell upon the middle-aged man.
Among the four, the middle-aged man’s strength was the greatest; if he could be dispatched with surprise, it would significantly ease Zhou Yu’s burden.
Considering this, Zhou Yu started to act.
He did not hastily strike but first withdrew.
Because he used this same tactic at the other four locations.
Hence, at this moment, he was quite adept.
In an instant, Zhou Yu silently approached within a hundred yards of the middle-aged man.
However, at this moment.
All of a sudden, a ’buzz’ sound was heard.
The middle-aged man erupted with a sky-high burst of Evil Qi.
This sudden change startled the other three into alertness.
All three simultaneously looked at the middle-aged man.
As for the middle-aged man, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he grasped the Wolf Fang Club, and next, the Evil Qi on him surged madly into the Wolf Fang Club Magic Treasure.
Boom!
Following this, demonic Qi poured wildly from the Wolf Fang Club, and several blinding silver beams swept towards the location of Zhou Yu.
Witnessing this scene, Zhou Yu’s expression sank.
He previously felt that carrying the Wolf Fang Club Magic Treasure on the back was far from simple.
Now, it seemed, he was correct.
This Magic Treasure was remarkably perceptive, able to sense his approach and thus issued a warning to its master.
Since he was exposed, Zhou Yu turned and fled without a word!
"Trying to run, stay here!"
