Chapter 760: The Spring of Spiritual Eyes

The cave was somewhat dim and damp. After walking for dozens of meters, a vast stone chamber, over three hundred meters wide, appeared before him.

The stone chamber showed clear signs of artificial excavation. There was a blue stone table on the ground, and several blue stone chairs lay scattered about. It appeared to be a cultivator's cave dwelling.

To his left was a long bluestone passage, and he didn't know where it led.

Wang Changsheng controlled the puppet beast, sending it into the bluestone passage, and he followed behind.

The sides of the bluestone passage were incredibly smooth. Every ten meters, there was an ancient bronze lamp, but all were extinguished.

After walking straight for ninety meters and turning right, three open stone chambers appeared before him.

The first chamber contained a yellow meditation mat. The stone walls were adorned with mysterious runes, some of which had become very faint. In the corner, some broken shells were scattered. It looked like this had once been a refining room.

Wang Changsheng thoroughly inspected the room. After confirming nothing was missed, he proceeded to the second chamber.

The second chamber contained a snake skin several meters long. It appeared to be a beast-rearing room, which once held a giant python. However, it was now unknown where it had gone.

Wang Changsheng speculated that when the Sun and Moon Palace attacked the Zhenhai Sect, the owner of the cave dwelling went out to confront them. The spirit beast was likely not taken because its cultivation level was too low or for other reasons. Later, the Zhenhai Sect sank to the bottom of the sea, and as time passed, the restrictions loosened, allowing the spirit beast to escape to an unknown location.

He thoroughly checked the chamber but found nothing. He then proceeded to the third chamber.

The third chamber was quite large. To the left was a vast spiritual field, which had fallen into disuse. To the right was a black pool, hundreds of meters wide. In the center was a stone platform over thirty meters wide, rising above the water's surface. Within the pool were two jet-black lotus flowers, each with nine petals, emitting an unusual fragrance.

Wang Changsheng flicked his wrist. A white light shot out, heading straight for one of the black lotus flowers.

Just as the white light approached the black lotus, the pool water churned violently, and a black shadow burst forth from the bottom.

It was a giant black python. Its body was as thick as a water vat, and its upper body stretched over ten meters. Its body was covered in fist-sized black scales, adorned with linear golden patterns.

This was a mid-grade third-tier demonic python, equivalent to a sixth-layer Core Formation cultivator. However, being a demonic beast, it possessed no magical artifacts and limited intelligence.

The black python opened its mouth, and a black orb of light, the size of a watermelon, flew out, heading straight for Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng remained expressionless. He punched into the void with his right fist, and a blue fist projection, several meters wide, flew out. Simultaneously, countless blue electric arcs emerged from his body, forming a blue lightning orb the size of a water vat, which followed closely behind.

Boom! The blue fist projection shattered the black orb of light. The black orb transformed into a large volume of black liquid, splashing onto the surrounding ground. Immediately, green smoke rose, and numerous pits appeared, clearly indicating the black liquid was some kind of corrosive substance.

The pool water churned violently, and a large wave of water shot out, meeting the blue fist projection and the blue lightning orb.

A tremendous roar erupted. The blue fist projection and blue lightning orb were shattered, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

Suddenly, a massive blue vortex appeared above the black python's head. A giant palm covered in blue electric arcs flew out of it, swiftly striking the black python's head.

A miserable hiss rang out, and a vast sheet of blue electric arcs engulfed the black python's body.

Wang Changsheng flicked his wrist. Thousands of gold-devouring ants flew out from a spirit beast pearl. They transformed into a golden greatsword over thirty meters long and quickly plunged into the blue sea of lightning.

With a muffled thud, the black python's body flew out from the blue sea of lightning and slammed violently into the stone wall. Some dark red blood seeped from its head. A golden greatsword struck its abdomen, dislodging some black scales, but failed to inflict significant harm on the black python.

The black python immediately became enraged. It opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of black liquid, splashing onto the golden greatsword. Instantly, green smoke rose, and a large number of golden ants fell from the golden greatsword.

A golden flash. The golden greatsword transformed back into thousands of golden ants, which spun around and formed a massive golden hand, pressing the black python against the stone wall.

A Mountain and Sea Pearl flew out from Wang Changsheng's mouth. It shook in the wind, expanding to the size of a house, and violently crashed towards the black python.

The black python opened its mouth and exhaled a gust of strong wind, attempting to block the enlarged Mountain and Sea Pearl. Simultaneously, a large amount of white cold air surged from its body, rapidly freezing the golden giant hand.

It struggled fiercely, trying to break free, but to no avail.

Boom! The strong wind was effortlessly crushed by the Mountain and Sea Pearl. The Mountain and Sea Pearl slammed heavily onto the black python's head.

With a mighty crash, a huge crater was smashed into the stone wall, and large amounts of shattered rock tumbled down from it.

Wang Changsheng gestured towards the Mountain and Sea Pearl. The Mountain and Sea Pearl quickly reverted to its original size. The black python's head was pulverized into a bloody mess; it was utterly dead.

Speaking of which, if not for possessing the Mountain and Sea Pearl, Wang Changsheng would have exerted considerable effort to slay this demonic beast.

Wang Changsheng raised his hand. The Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada flew out, spraying a large expanse of golden light. A fist-sized black mini-python flew out from the corpse and disappeared into the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada's mouth.

It let out an excited chirp. Wang Changsheng could clearly feel a surge of spiritual sense entering his sea of consciousness, and his spiritual sense grew significantly.

After the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada advanced to the third tier, it provided Wang Changsheng with even more spiritual sense.

Wang Changsheng conjured a blue porcelain bottle. He collected the pool water, revealing a massive pit. The two black lotus flowers had fallen to the bottom.

He collected the two black lotus flowers and walked out.

There was still one more stone chamber, but its stone door was tightly shut, emitting a faint white glow.

Wang Changsheng slammed his right hand towards the void. A blue fist projection, several meters wide, flew out and slammed into the white light. The white light quickly shattered. The blue fist projection struck the stone door, but only produced a muffled thud.

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He walked up to the stone door, gripping a Mountain and Sea Pearl in his right fist, and violently smashed it towards the door.

Boom! The stone door was shattered to pieces, and a rush of pure spiritual energy surged out. This chamber must be a cultivation room.

Even so, Wang Changsheng still sent the puppet beast in first.

The stone chamber was not large. There were two blue meditation mats on the ground. In the upper left corner was a pond ten to thirteen meters wide. Water gurgled outwards from it, releasing a stream of pure spiritual energy.

In the upper right corner was a blue stone shelf. Upon it rested dozens of colorful shells, several pieces of ore, and a few pieces of spirit wood.

Wang Changsheng released his Dual-Pupiled Mouse. The mouse immediately squeaked excitedly and pounced into the pool.

It took a large gulp of the pond water, appearing very excited.

Wang Changsheng quickly stepped forward. He cupped some of the pond water in his hand, brought it to his mouth, and tasted it. He felt a surge of pure spiritual energy rise in his abdomen.

"Is this a Spirit Eye Spring?"

A Spirit Eye Spring is a natural treasure, forming only after countless years. If a cultivator trains near a Spirit Eye Spring, it can significantly accelerate their cultivation speed.
