Without hesitation, Ye Yu dove straight into the entrance.
The interior space was vast, with passages crisscrossing in every direction.
Various minerals shimmered with brilliant radiance.
However, the undying substance here was also exceptionally dense.
The power of erosion was even more terrifying.
It even felt as if Ye Yu was experiencing auditory hallucinations, with demonic sounds ringing in his ears.
At the same time, all sorts of chaotic images surfaced in his mind.
Fortunately, he had the protection of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
Ye Yu managed to hold on.
Inside the cave, the paths were incredibly complex.
It could be said that even if one found the entrance from the outside,
one would absolutely get lost within.
"This is a special technique of the Earth Master Lineage, a 'ghost wall'. Quickly activate the bronze compass," said the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
Ye Yu activated the bronze compass once again.
Then, the terrain of this place underwent a change.
Some of the intricate paths vanished like an illusion.
But strangely, these paths seemed to exist in reality as well.
Clearly, it contained some kind of spatial Law.
If Ye Yu didn't have the bronze compass, he would truly have walked into other passages and gotten lost.
This was the special, mysterious technique of the Earth Master Lineage, containing methods of Divine Soul bewitchment, spatial folding, and so on.
Ye Yu was secretly amazed.
He felt ashamed that he had previously held a somewhat disdainful attitude toward Source Masters.
Now it seemed he really was a frog in a well.
Thinking of this, a growing sense of excitement appeared in Ye Yu's eyes.
He became even more expectant of the legacy left by that ancestor of the Earth Gate.
With the bronze compass,
Ye Yu quickly determined the correct path and went deeper inside.
But not long after, Ye Yu's expression froze.
Because at the end of the path ahead, it was clearly a dead end.
The dark stone wall felt incredibly hard; even an attack from a Great Emperor would struggle to leave any mark.
"Continue to activate the bronze compass," said the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
Ye Yu did as instructed.
A beam of light shot out from the compass, landing on the dark stone wall.
On the stone wall, traces like star trails suddenly lit up, shifting and rotating.
The entire stone wall rumbled and trembled, as if about to open.
At the same time.
Outside,
Jun Xiaoyao and Sang Yu had also penetrated deep into the core of the ancient land.
Looking at the undulating mountain ridges before them,
Jun Xiaoyao revealed a thoughtful expression.
Beside him, Sang Yu was holding a Source Tool, fiddling with something.
What is called a Source Tool is the instrument used by a Source Master.
It possesses various capabilities and attributes.
"Young Master, it seems to be here."
"If this place is confirmed to be the Nine Dragon Suppression Formation, then the person who set up this Formation should be at the head of the Dragon," said Sang Yu.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on a certain spot.
Then, he suddenly reached out and pressed down with one palm.
It was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed, shattering the universe, like an entire world smashing down.
And under these circumstances, beneath that mountain ridge, Formation patterns emerged, erupting with unprecedented killing light.
In fact, by relying on Sang Yu and spending some time, this Formation could also be broken.
But Jun Xiaoyao did not have the patience; he acted directly, determined to break it by force.
Jun Xiaoyao slammed his palm down, and the Formation patterns were instantly obliterated,
revealing the pitch-black entrance within.
Seeing this, Sang Yu secretly swallowed hard.
Does Jun Xiaoyao even need a Source Master?
"Let's go."
Jun Xiaoyao and Sang Yu entered.
Deep in the passage, Ye Yu used the bronze compass to open the way and entered behind the stone wall.
And behind the stone wall was another world.
Brilliant treasure light flickered, along with the radiance refracted by Source Stones, rendering this space strange and surreal.
"This is..."
Ye Yu's eyes instantly froze!
The ground was covered in Immortal Source materials, among which were many rare and precious minerals and Source Stones.
There were also Spiritual Plant specimens, ancient book scrolls, as well as Medicinal Pills stored in gourds and jade jars, and so on.
It almost blinded Ye Yu!
When had he ever seen so many treasures?
"This is the legacy of that Earth Gate ancestor!" Ye Yu's breathing quickened.
The voice of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation rang out: "What is this? Keep going deeper; these are just scraps."
Although it said this, there was a hint of joy in its tone.
If it could swallow and refine all the treasures here, it could also recover some Origin Qi.
Ye Yu continued deeper, the various rare treasures along the way opening his eyes.
And this was merely the legacy of a single Earth Gate ancestor.
If it were the true Earth Gate Secret Treasury, how much foundation and resources would it have?
Ye Yu couldn't help but yearn even more for the legendary Earth Gate Secret Treasury.
Soon, Ye Yu saw something else.
Some utensils were scattered here.
Many of them were tools that a Source Master would need.
Although he didn't understand them, he knew they must be very precious utensils.
"Ye Yu, ahead!"
In his mind, the voice of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation rang out.
Ye Yu looked over.
He discovered that ahead, there sat a skeletal remain, cross-legged on a Dao platform carved from white jade.
The skeletal remains appeared somewhat hunched and small.
On the skull, two pitch-black eye sockets were incomparably deep, making one feel as if they could fall into them at a single glance.
"This is that Earth Gate ancestor..." Ye Yu muttered to himself.
He stepped forward, not acting rashly, and first observed carefully.
The skeletal remains didn't seem to have anything too special about them.
However, the white jade Dao platform it sat on appeared quite extraordinary.
Within it, hazy radiance seemed to flow, emitting a profound wave of Soul Power.
"This is... Soul-Nurturing Jade," said the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
Soul-Nurturing Jade was an incredibly rare treasure material.
Usually, a piece the size of a small fingernail could be sold for an astronomical price.
This Soul-Nurturing Jade was extremely helpful for nourishing and strengthening the Primordial Spirit.
Because a Source Master needed to sense and investigate various terrains, Formations, anomalies, and so on.
Therefore, they also required extremely profound attainments in the Soul.
It could be said that regardless of the other treasures here,
this Dao platform carved from Soul-Nurturing Jade alone was of immeasurable value.
For those experts who specialized in cultivating the Primordial Spirit and the Soul, it was an even more priceless treasure!
After hearing the explanation from the Spirit of the Gate of Creation, Ye Yu's face showed joy.
This was truly a change of fortune.
"However, where exactly is the clue related to the Earth Gate Secret Treasury?" Ye Yu asked.
Although the many treasures here were also extremely precious,
but by comparison, this was just a small fish.
The Earth Gate Secret Treasury was the real big fish.
It's just that to find the Earth Gate Secret Treasury, one needed clues.
It wouldn't be easy to find them here in a short amount of time.
But just at this moment.
Boom!
Not far away, a booming sound suddenly came, and the entire space was trembling.
"Not good, Ye Yu, someone is coming, hurry and take the skeletal remains first!" said the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
"What?!"
Ye Yu was also startled.
Who would come here?
Without a second word, he directly took the skeletal remains.
Then, he wanted to take the white jade Dao platform as well.
As a result, at this moment, the light of a Formation lit up on the floor of the entire space.
It was as if this skeletal remain was the eye of the Formation.
After the remains were moved away, the entire great Formation developed a flaw.
"What's going on?" Ye Yu was startled.
"Not good, it seems this Earth Gate ancestor's remains were suppressing something here."
"By moving the remains, we have effectively caused a flaw in the Formation!"
said the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
