"Damn it, what to do now?" Gongcheng quickly ran to the edge of the Spiritual Spring and glanced down.

Master Huang's face was also gloomy: "This Spiritual Spring is incredibly bizarre. That kid jumping down is a surefire path to death, what a pity, we won't be able to get any useful information from him."

Gongcheng also sighed, "Yes, what a pity."

They wanted to recruit Ye Guichen, but it wasn't sincerity.

Ye Guichen broke Master Huang's array, and his cultivation level at such a young age was so advanced that it made both Master Huang and Gongcheng intrigued.

Without some fortuitous encounter, it would be impossible indeed.

Moreover, the cultivation technique Ye Guichen practiced might be different from others.

If they could make Ye Guichen lower his guard, or find a way to capture him, they could force information out of him to further their own advancements.

However, they never expected Ye Guichen would jump into the Spiritual Spring.

"Stand guard here, do not leave." Gongcheng ordered directly just in case.

Ye Guichen was too peculiar; although no one could survive inside the Spiritual Spring, if Ye Guichen did survive and sneak away, they would be caught unprepared.

Meanwhile, it was as if Ye Guichen had jumped into a bottomless abyss.

As he descended further, his breathing grew anxious, the overwhelming pressure felt like he was at the seabed.

After just descending over ten meters, Ye Guichen's body began to deform.

"No wonder no one can survive in such an environment," Ye Guichen was greatly alarmed, but thanks to his formidable physical strength, the intense pressure still couldn't threaten his life.

He continued to fall for approximately a thousand meters.

Ye Guichen suddenly felt like he stepped on something solid.

Moreover, the current feeling was like being thousands of meters deep underwater; if not for his extraordinary physique, he would have been crushed by the pressure.

However, the abundant spiritual energy made every pore on Ye Guichen's body feel like they were opening up.

Concentrating spiritual energy on his eyes didn't affect his vision.

Ye Guichen looked around and finally discovered that the bottom of the Spiritual Spring was like an underground cave.

And right beneath his feet was a tiny spring.

The spring was continuously dripping water, but at an extremely slow pace, taking half a day for a drop to fall, eventually gathering into a small puddle of spring water.

With just a glance, Ye Guichen understood, to obtain this spring water, the Medicine King Valley would need to use an extremely long rope.

Ignoring the reputed Spiritual Spring, Ye Guichen looked towards one side of the underground cave.

Something seemed to be flickering over there, and Ye Guichen felt the spiritual energy was emitting from that place.

As for the Spiritual Spring water, it seemed to possess its properties due to the influence of that object.

He stepped towards the side of the cave.

Walking felt like his feet were weighed down with a thousand pounds of lead; jumping was out of the question, and each step was incredibly difficult.

Ye Guichen had to circulate the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique to resist the strong gravitational pull with his cultivation technique.

After walking approximately three hundred meters, he faced a white stone embedded in the ground, about one meter square.

Seeing the white stone instantly shocked Ye Guichen.

The feeling was almost indistinguishable from when he encountered the Seven-colored Lotus Jade before.

In fact, it emitted even more vibrant spiritual energy than the Seven-colored Lotus Jade.

And it was such a massive piece.

"How could there be such a huge Crystal Stone here?" Ye Guichen gasped, filled with excitement.

Back when he was cultivating the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, he used a Seven-colored Lotus Jade, but the hidden world families referred to it as a Crystal Stone.

This Crystal Stone is akin to an energy supplement for cultivators.

Swallowing hard, greed was barely concealed in Ye Guichen's eyes.

No wonder there was a Spiritual Spring here, it was because of this Crystal Stone.

If he could entirely absorb the energy in this Crystal Stone, Ye Guichen believed he could reach the second pinnacle of the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique.

He quickly took out the Book of Life and Death.

Originally, the second page of the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique was blank, but perhaps due to the Crystal Stone's influence, it gradually revealed densely packed text, displaying the cultivation method of the second stage, Boundless Compassion.

"Great!"

Revitalized, Ye Guichen was just about to approach and leverage the massive Crystal Stone to practice the second stage, when he suddenly felt a terrifying force from behind.

Instinctively, Ye Guichen dodged to the side.

Whoosh!

Something akin to a cold arrow grazed past Ye Guichen's shoulder.

The speed was so swift, if Ye Guichen hadn't reacted promptly, his shoulder would have been pierced.

Despite avoiding it, his shoulder was still grazed and skinned.

The pain was intense.

It's important to know that Ye Guichen's skin had become extraordinarily tough; ordinary weapons could hardly damage him.

Yet, that thing hurt him effortlessly.

Looking up, the thing shot like a bullet and struck the cave wall not far away.

Ye Guichen was horrified to find it was a droplet of water.

Indeed!

A droplet of water with such immense power!

Not daring to be careless, Ye Guichen quickly drew his Golden Snake Dagger and turned to look behind him.

At this sight, Ye Guichen couldn't help but shudder.

Though he'd seen massive pythons several dozen meters long and believed there were colossal creatures in this world, he never imagined a frog could grow as big as a small calf.

About twenty meters away, a gigantic frog was staring intently at Ye Guichen, seemingly surprised that it hadn't killed him in one strike, and quickly opened its mouth to emit another water arrow.

Ye Guichen was already prepared. This time, as the frog launched the water arrow, he swiftly dodged to the side.

However, due to the massive gravitational pull, Ye Guichen's movements appeared clumsy, yet he still avoided it with ease.

"This Spiritual Spring has spawned such a monster!" Ye Guichen took a deep breath.

But before he could relax, the frog croaked loudly, leaping into the air and lunging at Ye Guichen.

With that single lunge, Ye Guichen was certain that even a Grandmaster Realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from this frog.

The frog moved with astonishing speed, his giant tongue already extending towards Ye Guichen as it attacked.

Eyes keen and hands quick, Ye Guichen knew if that tongue ensnared him, it would be a one-way ticket to death, so he swiftly activated his Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique and slashed at the tongue with his Golden Snake Dagger.

Swish!

The tongue was sliced in two.

The frog cried in pain, letting out a croak, and as its body shuddered, countless water arrows on its back shot towards Ye Guichen like a barrage of bullets.

Ye Guichen broke out in a cold sweat.

So many water arrows, nowhere to hide!
