Chapter 310 Lanqiuze 13
The area is filled with azure water spirit stones, brimming with spiritual energy. Just being here makes one feel incredibly comfortable. It seems that some of the water spirit stones have been mined.
The presence of numerous remaining water spirit stones in the cave indicates that this water spirit stone vein is not small in size and is of high quality.
Despite the large pile of water spirit stones displayed here, none of them are as eye-catching as the crystal in the middle.
Those who recognized the crystal felt a chill run down their spines and their throats bobbed.
"This, this is the Sea-Suppressing Stone!"
"This is insane! How could this thing appear here!"
The senior students who saw it were all in a panic and cried out in horror!
Zhenhai Stone, as the name suggests, is a naturally formed mineral of extremely high quality, specifically used to suppress those raging sea eyes.
It can only be produced in secret realms in the sea. Because of its power to suppress sea eyes, it is often controlled by sea demons and used to suppress those violent sea eyes.
In addition, the waters where the Zhenhai Stone is located are calm and waveless, making it a very comfortable habitat. It is said that the royal palace of the Merfolk, the overlords of the sea, has a huge Zhenhai Stone that can be called a treasure of the clan, with a volume of tens of thousands of feet.
The area around this sea-suppressing stone is calm and still for thousands of miles.
This sea-suppressing stone is certainly not as valuable as the treasure of the merfolk clan, but its size of a hundred feet is already quite considerable.
The more water there is, the greater the water pressure, and the more violent the water flow, the more the sea-suppressing stone will slowly turn blue. The color of the sea-suppressing stone can be used to determine the condition of the area where it is located.
This sea-suppressing stone is almost entirely blue, which means that there is a huge sea eye beneath it, and the amount of water stored inside is self-evident!
What would happen if this sea-suppressing stone were moved or exceeded its limits? The consequences are self-evident.
The entire Lanqiuze will likely be submerged by floods! Not to mention, it happens to be the flood season of the Qiu River, which is when the river's water volume is at its highest!
Good news: the missing water has been found; bad news: they can't handle it even if they put all their efforts together!
The senior brothers and sisters with water-elemental roots didn't dare to confront this Sea-Suppressing Stone head-on!
If the Sea-Suppressing Stone is moved or something goes wrong, the power it unleashes would probably wipe them all out together. Its power would probably be about the same as a full-force attack from a Mahayana cultivator!
What's even more disheartening is that the remaining white is also beginning to be invaded by blue!
Once the blue color completely fills the area, the Zhenhai Stone will explode, and that's it!
More importantly, Cheng Jiu also discovered an activation array beneath the Sea-Suppressing Stone, meaning that regardless of whether the Sea-Suppressing Stone explodes or not, it will still move away from the sea eye.
The immense power that will erupt will turn the entire cave into a seemingly calm bomb, beneath which lies an invisible vortex. The failure of the Sea-Suppressing Stone will accelerate the process even further, and those who remain in this cave will become the first sacrifices.
It wasn't just Cheng Jiu who discovered it; everyone who understood formations discovered it, especially since this formation was a dead formation, with its core located beneath the Sea-Suppressing Stone. To break it, the Sea-Suppressing Stone had to be moved. Once the Sea-Suppressing Stone was moved, there would be no difference between breaking it or not.
"Contact the sect to handle this!"
Cheng Jiu's mind raced, and various methods flashed through his mind, but at this moment they were all useless.
A sense of gloom and dejection flashed through Cheng Jiu's mind, and his tone became somewhat low.
To do something knowing it's impossible is truly foolish.
"it is good!"
The other senior brothers and sisters strongly agreed. Cheng Jiu was the strongest among them, so they naturally sided with Cheng Jiu.
"Then let's go!"
Cheng Jiu left without hesitation, as staying there would be pointless.
Cheng Jiu didn't know when the deadly formation would activate, and staying here any longer would only be dangerous.
Before leaving the cave completely, Cheng Jiu couldn't help but glance back at the Sea-Suppressing Stone. Faint blue ripples swirled around it, making it impossible to discern whether they were emanating from the stone itself or…
With his gaze withdrawn, Cheng Jiu left without looking back.
Emerging from the water, the group summoned their swords and landed on either side of the river.
A gust of wind dried Cheng Jiu's robes.
"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, you've come out!"
Senior Sister Jin Su tied up a fat man and threw him on the ground. In addition to the people she originally brought, there were nearly ten more senior brothers and sisters from Guiyuan Sect. They were obviously the missing senior brothers and sisters who had been identified as "dead" but were saved by the formation.
Although they didn't seem to be in a good mental state, their clothing and appearance didn't suggest they had been abused.
"So, what did you find?"
Senior Sister Jin Su hurriedly inquired, and after hearing what Cheng Jiu and the others had discovered down below, her expression turned extremely grim.
"Senior Sister Jin Su, are Senior Brother Wu Kang and the others alright?" Qin Che looked at the people behind her!
"They're fine!" Senior Sister Jin Su kicked the fat man on the ground, who groaned in pain. A hint of disdain flashed in Senior Sister Jin Su's eyes: "Our journey there went relatively smoothly! This old guy isn't very brave!"
He simply locked his senior and junior brothers and sisters in the dungeon, providing them with good food and drink! It was merely a restriction of their freedom.
This guy noticed something was wrong with Huang Si the moment his senior brother Wu Kang and the others appeared, but he didn't dare to attack the Guiyuan Sect disciples, so he only dared to imprison his senior brother and the others.
When I arrived, he had moved all his concubines and sons away. As for himself, he was greedy for the benefits of being the city lord and took a chance, so we wiped him out in one fell swoop!
Cheng Jiu was disgusted by the fat man's actions on the ground: "Where is his wife?"
He moved his concubine and son away, but kept his wife a secret? Didn't he know this might implicate his whole family?
His wife must have had the worst luck imaginable!
"His wife!" Senior Sister Jin Su kicked the fat man at her feet again, sending only his concubine and son out, leaving his wife, who knew nothing about him, with him, without saying a word!
"His wife is a female cultivator, and they are said to be childhood sweethearts. His wife also contributed to his becoming the city lord!"
You know that such couples, from the very beginning of their marriage, implicitly agree not to have children.
His wife was very generous and even took the initiative to arrange for him to take a concubine so that he could continue his lineage!
But unexpectedly, his heart changed in just a few decades.
Knowing that he was about to face a great disaster, he kept it a complete secret from his wife, revealing nothing until we arrived.
His wife was quite sensible; after learning the whole story, she voluntarily handed over all the wealth of the city lord's mansion.
His wife was focused on Taoist practice and was unaware of this. After investigation, I took it upon myself to arrange for him and his wife to divorce!
Even without that wealth, his wife's abilities would surely have allowed her to live a very comfortable life.
As for his concubines and children whom he sent away, I entrusted them to his wife. I expect there should be some news about them soon!
