Continuing to go inside, there is a strange and rough cave with hanging stalactites, which seems to have not undergone any renovation.
At the entrance of the cave, there is a huge stone tablet with ten characters engraved on it, with dragons and phoenixes flying and dancing.
The characters read: "Heaven and Earth is impartial all beings are regarded as insignificant." Each character is about half a human's height, with ancient and rough handwriting, and has the strength of rushing out to the sky.
Li Xiu glanced at it, with no change in his expression, and still brushed past, walking inside.
At the bottom of the cave is a smooth stone wall, with a skeleton leaning against it, which is probably the Black Heart Old Man who once dominated the world eight hundred years ago.
Li Xiu shook his head, and felt in his heart that no matter how dazzling and powerful a person is before death, they will eventually turn to dust, no matter how well-preserved their bones are and how strange they may look, what good does it do?
There was a medium-sized stone room on the side, with many weapons and treasures on the shelves, but it has been a thousand years, and without the nourishment of spiritual power, they have become nothing but scrap iron.
However, when looking at the names on the shelves, one could faintly recall the power they once had: Five Mountains Divine Halberd, Moon-Watching Rope, Separation Spike...
As Li Xiu looked down the shelves, he saw a special iron box placed on the shelves, which he picked up using his force field and tried to open it from a distance using his force field.
With a light sound of "clang," the box was easily opened, but what first came into Li Xiu's eyes was a fierce black gas. Before it dissipated, in the blink of an eye, Li Xiu tightly wrapped it with his force field and took out the item from the box.
After that, he released the black gas back into the box. The black gas seemed to be alive, constantly colliding, but it was not a great force for Li Xiu, who had an extraordinary force field.
Although the poison was strong, it had not reached the level of being able to harm the soul along with the force field. It did not cause any trouble for Li Xiu.
In his hand was a simple and ordinary-looking golden bell, with no patterns or engravings. But Li Xiu knew that this seemingly unremarkable bell was one of the precious treasures of the demon path, the Happy Reunion Bell.
Li Xiu has not studied the methods of the He Huan Sect, so the Happy Reunion Bell in his hand will not be able to exert its power. Of course, Li Xiu has other uses for the Happy Reunion Bell, so there is no need to worry about this.
In another stone room, there was nothing but a scripture engraved on the stone wall. It was the first volume of the Heavenly Book, which could also be considered a general outline of the Heavenly Book.
"The creation of heaven and earth began from chaos, ignorance was not yet differentiated, and the sun and moon contained their brilliance, heaven and earth blended as one..."
"The reason why the heaven and earth can exist for a long time is because it does not exist for itself but operates naturally thus it's longevity.
However, everything in heaven and earth has its own nature…"
After thousands of words had been spoken, Li Xiu did not see any technique operating. If it had to be said, it was more like an ancient Taoist Immortal was teaching him about the Tao, as to what he could comprehend depends on himself.
After all, some people have comprehended evil techniques and skills from the Heavenly Book, while others have comprehended Buddhist practices. It depends on one's heart and comprehension...
Li Xiu silently watched for a while, realizing that if he wanted to comprehend anything, it would not be achieved in a short period of time. He had no intention of staying in this place for long, so after recording this Heavenly Book, he used his magic sword to destroy the stone engraving.
After leaving the Blood Drop Cave, Li Xiu found that the outside seemed to have regained calm. The earth no longer shook, and the sound of the waves had also calmed down, indicating that some time had passed since his last insight.
Flying out from the deep pit, Li Xiu was slightly surprised to see that there were two other people in the wide trench, who also seemed to be searching for something.
A green-dressed young girl with a beautiful face and a masked woman with a graceful figure.
Bi Yao, the daughter of the Ghost King Faction Head, and You Ji, one of the four messengers of the Ghost King Faction.
Li Xiu had already planned to go and search for these two people after leaving the Blood Drop Cave, and it was fortunate that he ran into them now.
Bi Yao and You Ji were closely observing the situation here. They saw from a distance that the Black Water Mystic Snake had retreated into the Merciless Sea, and then came back to search for the Blood Drop Cave. Just after they landed, they saw a person fly out from a deep pit.
Bi Yao and You Ji were both slightly stunned, and then they looked at each other, silently coming to an agreement. Regardless of whether someone had already taken the lead, they would capture them first and then talk.
Bi Yao's hands moved, summoning a series of white light flowers that formed into a piece. It was quite extraordinary. You Ji, on the other hand, didn't move much, but the feeling of weakness disappeared instantly and her momentum skyrocketed, giving people a great deal of pressure.
Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Li Xiu's expression was calm. He waved his hand and spoke slowly: "Don't be in a hurry to fight. I have no ill intent. If you want what's inside the Blood Drop Cave, I can give it to you, but I have conditions."
"What conditions?"
Bi Yao spoke out, her voice clear and light, with a different kind of beauty.
Li Xiu looked at Bi Yao and said, pointing with his finger.
"I want to talk to your father, what I want cannot be done by you."
This made both Bi Yao and You Ji feel surprised. Bi Yao frowned and her face became frosty. She said: "Do you know my identity? Don't deceive me!"
"The daughter of the Ghost King Faction Head and the other is the Zhu Que messenger of the Ghost King Faction."
Li Xiu directly revealed everything, making the two even more confused. They couldn't figure out his identity and background, but the other person knew everything about them, causing Bi Yao and You Ji to feel a bit wary.
A look of confusion appeared on Bi Yao's face, she turned to look at You Ji. Although she held a high position in the Ghost King Faction, she was inexperienced and still needed You Ji to make the decision.
"It's not suitable to stay here for too long, let's go talk over there."
You Ji pondered for a moment, then casually pointed in a certain direction. The three of them flew several li and finally stopped.
As soon as they landed, without a word, You Ji quickly shot out a black energy chain towards Li Xiu with her right palm. The black chain made a ghostly sound as it flew through the air, terrifyingly frightening.
Li Xiu understood that he would eventually have to fight. There was no way to talk without showing his strength.
The parties involved in a trade have always had roughly equal strength, or there has been some strong constraint, otherwise, why bother negotiating and playing psychological games when you can just take it by force?
Li Xiu's expression became serious as he drew his sword and pointed it out. The Purple Wing Sword quivered out of its sheath, transforming into nine unique Purple Wing Swords. Then, with a burst of spiritual power, they became nine purple vortexes several zhangs tall that attacked the fierce and aggressive, You Ji.
Although it wasn't as terrifying as the Black Water Mystic Snake, which could whip its tail like a mountain peak striking, it still covered a hundred zhangs and was awe-inspiring.
You Ji's expression was solemn. She felt a strong sense of threat, and her hand shook, causing the originally several zhangs long black chain to grow longer as she saw fit.
It seemed to grow endlessly, with a certain spiritual quality as it floated through the air and locked onto the nine purple sword vortexes.
The purple vortex unleashed by Li Xiu is so powerful that even a solid wall is hard to block, but the black energy chain in the hands of You Ji still dominantly locks one by one the nine purple sword lights unleashed by Li Xiu, and the intense purple energy is instantly covered by the black energy.
"Crack!"
The two of them continued to collide and friction in the mid-air for a moment, seeing the purple vortex suppressed and the body gradually weakened and shrunk. A clear look of joy appeared in Bi Yao's eyes.
But what she didn't see was that You Ji, who was facing away from her, was constantly frowning, and her appearance gradually revealed a few signs of suffering, as if she was finding it difficult to support herself.
