Chapter 2192: The Mysterious Elder
Zhou Yu carefully examined the entire stone wall.
He discovered that only the entrance with the silver glow could be entered.
Zhou Yu squinted, scrutinizing the entrance.
Then, he suddenly raised his hand, and a fire-eyed flying ant flew out, heading towards the entrance.
From a distance, Zhou Yu slowly closed his eyes.
He wanted to use the fire-eyed flying ant to investigate the situation inside the cave.
Under Zhou Yu’s control, the fire-eyed flying ant quickly flew into the cave entrance.
However, shortly after it flew in, Zhou Yu’s face suddenly turned pale, and then he abruptly opened his eyes.
"Not good!"
"The fire-eyed flying ant has been annihilated."
Without a word, Zhou Yu got up to escape.
However, at this moment, an old voice echoed in Zhou Yu’s mind.
"Hmm?"
"How did a little fellow like you break in?"
"Since you’re here, don’t leave."
"Come have a chat with this old man."
The moment the voice fell, Zhou Yu felt a terrifying force enveloping him.
Then, his figure uncontrollably flew towards the entrance.
At this time, Zhou Yu was filled with astonishment.
He found that he couldn’t use any of his methods.
The only thing he could utilize was the Four Directions Realm.
But he was sure he couldn’t use this valuable treasure.
Especially in front of such an unfathomable presence, it’s even more impossible to use it.
Helpless, Zhou Yu could only quickly adjust his mindset, praying that the other party wouldn’t trouble him.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu entered the cave entrance.
Then, the terrifying force enveloping him suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Yu examined the surrounding environment.
He discovered that this was a deep corridor.
However, the corridor was decorated very exquisitely, looking ancient and elegant.
The ground was made of very special jade stones.
At the end of this corridor was a great hall.
Although at this moment, the force that restrained him had vanished,
Zhou Yu knew he had no choice but to move forward.
He followed the corridor, walking all the way inside.
After walking about a kilometer or so, he reached the end of the corridor.
Here, it was a spacious great hall.
In the great hall, there were some stone tables and stone chairs.
Besides that, there were various kinds of spiritual flowers and spiritual grass.
However, when Zhou Yu saw these spiritual flowers and spiritual grass, his eyes revealed a deep color of shock.
These spiritual flowers and spiritual grass were completely different from those he had seen outside.
The difference lay in that although there were only a few plants, they could emit a strong breath of vegetation.
Making one feel as though in the midst of an ancient dense forest.
The more Zhou Yu looked, the more surprised he felt.
These spiritual flowers and spiritual grass had transcended the category of ordinary spiritual objects; they were actually nurturing a kind of force!
A force of vegetation!
Someone who can cultivate spiritual flowers and spiritual grass to exude such a force is definitely not ordinary.
At this time, an old figure suddenly appeared in the great hall.
Seeing this figure, Zhou Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted.
"Senior, are you of the human race?"
The old figure’s appearance was exactly like the human race.
Moreover, Zhou Yu was certain this wasn’t some kind of transformation technique.
The old man chuckled softly:
"Why?"
"If I weren’t, why would I bother having a chat with you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately stepped forward and respectfully said:
"Junior Zhou Yu, pays respect to senior."
"May I ask who senior is?"
The elder chuckled:
"My surname is Jiang!"
"Just a mere loose cultivator."
"Seeing you like this, you must have recently left the human race."
"Tell me about the current situation of the human race."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately and respectfully said:
"Senior, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know without reserve."
The elder nodded, then gave Zhou Yu a once-over.
"You young man, you’re not old, but your realm is not low."
"Moreover, you practice dual cultivation of body and technique, embodying cultivation techniques from both righteous and demonic paths."
"Not simple at all."
As he spoke, the elder suddenly reached out and grabbed something.
In the next moment, Zhou Yu felt the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder within him surging forth instantly.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu’s expression drastically changed.
The elder’s methods were beyond Zhou Yu’s imagination.
He immediately wanted to control the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder but found it was impossible.
The elder paid no mind to Zhou Yu’s shock, instead watching the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder before him, his eyes filled with a touch of nostalgia.
After a brief moment of panic, Zhou Yu quickly noticed something was amiss.
This Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was extremely docile in the elder’s presence, and the elder seemed to be able to control it at will.
This situation was unprecedented for Zhou Yu.
However, it wasn’t entirely unfamiliar.
According to ancient records, typically such a phenomenon indicates that the other party has practiced the same divine skills.
Moreover, the other party’s cultivation is far higher than his own.
Could it be that this old man also knows Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder?
While Zhou Yu was secretly in doubt, the elder suddenly flicked his hand.
The mass of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder instantly returned to Zhou Yu’s body.
Before Zhou Yu could speak, the elder smiled:
"It seems you have inherited the true teachings of the Five Thunders Technique."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted.
"Senior, how do you know about the Five Thunders Technique?"
This Five Thunders Technique was taught to him by a cultivator who claimed to be the Five Thunders True Man while he was in the human clan plane.
Along with it, he was also given a Thunder Talisman.
Later, Zhou Yu obtained the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder from the Thunder Talisman.
The elder chuckled lightly:
"Because, the Five Thunders Technique was created by me."
"I crafted this Thunder Technique and transmitted it to only one person."
"That was my direct disciple, known as Five Thunders True Man."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was utterly shocked.
"Senior, are you the master of Five Thunders True Man?"
"This is..."
Zhou Yu never expected to meet the master of Five Thunders True Man in such a place.
This is simply incredible.
"Yes, that’s me."
"Tell me, where did you meet my disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, calming the astonishment in his heart.
Then, he recounted the events in the human clan plane in detail.
After listening, the elder displayed a complex expression.
"So, my disciple was banished to a lower plane, no wonder I couldn’t find him back then."
"Ah, it’s all fate."
"Back then, in that battle, I was too arrogant, thinking that with my self-created Five Thunders True Scripture, I could sweep across the entire human and demon clans."
"The result was a devastating defeat."
"Ultimately, even my disciple was implicated and was cast into a plane fault."
"As for myself, I ended up with my physical body disintegrating and my residual soul escaping."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was deeply shaken.
What level of existence could cast someone into a plane fault?
Although the elder did not elaborate, Zhou Yu could feel that it was surely a battle of legendary proportions...
As Zhou Yu was absorbed in his shock, the elder suddenly spoke:
"Since you inherited my Five Thunders Technique, it signifies a connection between us."
"However, there’s a question I must ask you to answer honestly. What is your relationship with those who entered the Bottom of Yellow Springs?"
