CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 0417: QIN YANG, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

The three exchanged glances.

The communication in their eyes was clear.

Should we go take a look?

Qin Yang said, "Under such a beautiful scene, a beam of light descends from the sky. In my opinion, it must be a goddess dancing gracefully. Even that old lecher Moon Immortal got attracted and sent down a beam of light to assist her in the dance."

Lin Fan almost wanted to punch Qin Yang.

What the hell are you thinking? At a serious time like this when we need to analyze the situation, you can think of things like that.

"I don’t think so. A sudden beam of light falling at night must indicate something. It’s either demons or strong beings cultivating. If we go there, it could very well be walking into a trap," Lin Fan said.

He had many thoughts swirling in his mind.

He was keenly aware of crisis situations and would always engage his brain to analyze whenever encountering something unusual. Getting it right four or five times out of ten was already pretty good.

"Huh!"

Xiang Fei, deeply engrossed, broke his silence and said, "I once read in an ancient book that some celestial caves have spirituality and, during the full moon, will autonomously absorb the essence of the sun and moon. I wonder if what we are seeing is what I read about."

"I haven’t witnessed it myself, so I’m not sure."

He was well-read, knowing about many wondrous things, but some of those he had never seen in his lifetime; thus, he could only rely on memory and couldn’t discern things at a glance.

Qin Yang pondered, "Celestial caves, I’ve heard of the rumors too, but very few have seen them. It’s said people witnessed them in ancient times, and anyone who entered would have substantial gains."

"There’s even a rumor that some truly formidable beings sought these places as their final resting places, hoping someday to be reborn through the spiritual celestial cave."

Though Qin Yang spent much of his time idling in the noble family, he had heard plenty of rumors.

"Let’s go take a look and be cautious," Lin Fan suggested.

Ultimately, the three agreed in unison, filled with curiosity about the unknown. Lin Fan firmly believed that the distant light must be the celestial cave Xiang Fei talked about. With their luck, they always encountered good things wherever they went.

This time would be no exception.

"Alright."

"Sounds good."

The three hurried toward the distant light, while a little girl and a caterpillar were stored within a treasure.

They moved quickly but constrained their aura, taking care not to release it, just in case a strong being was cultivating.

Being discovered would spell disaster.

Before long,

they reached their destination, hiding behind a rock. The beam of light descended here, illuminating a lake before them.

"Why is it a lake again?"

Qin Yang muttered, having a fear of lakes due to past scares. How could he not be frightened?

But there was no choice.

The lake’s appearance indicated a destined encounter, one that shouldn’t be resisted.

"Hey, look, there’s someone in the lake,"

At this moment,

a graceful figure emerged from the lake, her long hair flicking water droplets under the moonlight, sparkling and captivating all eyes on her.

Qin Yang was immune to such scenarios.

It was another damned trick.

Ugliness without rivals.

But soon, Qin Yang realized he was mistaken. When the woman turned, her chest was clothed, but her face was so seductive, so beautiful.

Gulp!

Qin Yang swallowed hard.

Immediately after,

the woman floated wetly above the lake, lightly touching the water’s surface with her toes, gracefully dancing, unmatched by any splendid scenery.

"This doesn’t seem like a true person," Lin Fan observed.

Xiang Fei noted, "Hmm, indeed, it’s not a real person. It looks like a projection, more like an ancient projection. Someone might have been here once, leaving behind an image. The beam might have activated some power, revealing the projection."

The two exchanged softly.

Even Xiang Fei, who wasn’t keen on the feminine allure, was captivated by the fairy’s mesmerizing beauty, excellence, and...

Words couldn’t describe it.

Suddenly,

Lin Fan noticed Qin Yang’s inappropriate behavior and frowned, "What are you doing?"

Qin Yang was crouching as if about to do something.

"Setting things right," Qin Yang replied casually, not bothering about the matter. He was so absorbed he didn’t want any disturbance.

But the change was swift.

The enticing woman who caught Qin Yang’s eyes vanished, replaced by an elderly man with white hair, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by chaotic immortal qi as if practicing some supreme, astounding art.

"Tsk!"

"What’s there to see in an old man?"

Qin Yang was like losing something precious, irritated by the elder’s sudden appearance; what was an old man doing here, adding no interest?

Lin Fan and Xiang Fei were utterly engrossed.

Compared to the woman, they preferred the elder.

Though merely a projection, the elder’s practice induced wondrous phenomena, leaving both men in awe.

"How many strong beings existed during ancient times?" Lin Fan marveled.

Xiang Fei said, "Many, many. The ancients were filled with powerhouses and realms dominated, the most glorious period of the Immortal Realm, unlike today’s Immortal Realm."

Lin Fan scrutinized the surroundings, "If I’m not mistaken, the entrance to the celestial cave should be in this lake. If we enter now, perhaps we can break through."

"Let’s go."

Quickly, they rushed toward the lake and, with their mana shields on, dove straight into its depths.

No one knew what lurked beneath the lake.

What if there was indeed some dreadful creature?

But soon, he realized terrifying himself with too many thoughts would scare him to death. After what seemed like an eternity underwater, a vortex appeared at the seemingly bottomless lake.

The vortex had no suction, appearing rootless.

Their figures entered it and disappeared.

In the distance,

the strong members of the Hunyuan Great Sect were frantically searching for traces, but after a long search, found nothing.

"Where have those guys hidden themselves?"

"Seems they’ve escaped from our territory. Searching like this is going nowhere."

"Look over there, what is that?"

"Just ordinary moonlight."

"No, that’s not ordinary moonlight. Let’s go and see."

These experts took to the skies, pursuing those who provoked the sect across the wilderness, indeed a troubling task.

Soon,

they arrived where Lin Fan and the others had been.

The projection continuously changed, astonishing and perplexing them.

"What’s going on here?"

"No idea, the beam resulted in such phenomena."

"Perhaps an ancient powerful being once cultivated here, inevitably appearing under special circumstances, nothing unusual about it."

"Let’s go; there’s nothing special here."

They didn’t think further. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but they also knew nothing about celestial caves. The Hunyuan Great Sect might be a great sect, but accessing such secrets remained a question.

How could they compare to Qin Yang, a noble family young master from the Immortal Venerable Family?

The things he encountered could be beyond others’ reach in a lifetime.

As they were about to leave,

one of the experts said, "Wait, I feel something off here. Might there be something inside that lake? Inform someone about this situation; we’ll check it out first."

The others felt he was overly cautious, overthinking it.

The surroundings had been thoroughly explored for any mysterious areas, with none found.

In the celestial cave,

"This place is magical, feels like a realm of its own," Lin Fan observed the surroundings. Outside, it was night, yet inside, it was daytime with a blazing sun overhead.

Xiang Fei and Qin Yang were captivated by this place.

They had never been to a place like this; it was truly astonishing.

Lin Fan said, "Do you think we’re the first ones to discover this place? If we put up a sign at the entrance, people would know this place belongs to us even if we can’t defend it for now."

"Oh, Brother Lin, your idea is great! I’m on board. My name has to be on it too," Qin Yang said excitedly at the thought.

Xiang Fei didn’t know how to break it to his two brothers that it was unlikely no one had been here before.

"Look over there; once you see it, you’ll understand the situation."

He pointed to the distance.

Lin Fan and Qin Yang looked into the distance.

They saw a skeleton lying there.

"Alas, born too late, truly too late," Qin Yang shook his head in regret.

They thought they’d found a treasure of their own, yet someone had been here before; it was such a pity.

Lin Fan went to the skeleton and examined it, hoping to find something, but was disappointed. There was nothing, not even something from an immortal cultist.

Who knows what killed them?

They died so quickly, perhaps without any pain at all.

He seemed to have stumbled upon this place by mistake.

It was probably just a few decades old.

"Brother Xiang, Brother Qin, be careful. This place likely has unknown entities," Lin Fan warned.

Even with their abilities,

they didn’t need to overthink it too much.

But caution in such an unknown place was necessary.

Xiang Fei took note of the surroundings; they were on a plain, not very secure, and escaping would be difficult if enemies appeared.

Qin Yang wasn’t worried at all.

He glanced around with interest.

"Brother Lin, Brother Xiang, let’s move on. Perhaps our immortal fate is right ahead," Qin Yang shouted.
