Chapter 328 The Cave of Sima Mo, a Third-Step Expert
Qin Hao took the jade bottle from beneath the black skeleton and left with Wang Lin.
Then, the two appeared in a valley.
The location of this valley was known from the memories of the elderly man surnamed Pang.
This is Sima Mo's true cave dwelling.
As for the cave mentioned earlier, it was just a random cave that Cangsongzi found, and he didn't know whose it was.
According to the memory of the elderly man surnamed Pang, after they discovered Sima Mo's cave, they only opened a part of it and were unable to open it completely.
They originally planned to unlock other parts after improving their cultivation, but now it seems that Qin Hao will benefit from it.
The valley was overgrown with weeds and littered with broken seals.
Wang Lin warned, "Senior brother, there are two layers of restrictions here!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed a restriction seal on the valley, causing the entire valley to tremble violently and undergo a dramatic change.
The original valley turned purple, and the weeds on the ground disappeared, turning into a patch of black soil.
At the entrance, a black light barrier was blocking the cultivators' progress.
"Um!"
Qin Hao nodded.
He naturally noticed it too.
The first layer of restrictions here is merely an illusion; if you enter based on the illusion, you will not be able to enter the real cave even after ten thousand years.
In fact, what Cangsongzi and the others broke through was also the restriction on this layer.
If the old woman surnamed Zhao were to come here, she would surely be able to discover the clues.
Unfortunately, the old woman did not consider Cang Songzi and the others to be one of their own, and they did not bring her along before.
Qin Hao's gaze fell on the light screen.
He could tell at a glance that the light curtain here, like the previous black curtain, was entirely a barrier of time.
The Time Restriction is one of the four ancient restrictions, alongside the Destruction Restriction and the Life and Death Restriction.
When this restriction first came into being, it was incomparable to the Destruction Restriction and the Life and Death Restriction.
However, it can absorb the power of time, meaning that the longer time passes, the more terrifying the power of the Time Restriction becomes.
In contrast, the Life and Death Restriction and the Destruction Restriction may simply decay and decay over countless years.
Qin Hao sensed that the restrictions here had existed for nearly 20,000 years.
This corresponds exactly to the time when Sima Mo disappeared 18,000 years ago.
With Qin Hao's current cultivation level, even if this Time Forbidden Formation has existed for nearly 20,000 years, it would be enough to tear it apart.
However, this method requires him to exert a lot of effort.
"Whoosh!"
Qin Hao reached out and took out the jade slip he had obtained earlier.
This jade slip was obtained by him from the desolate continent. It is a token of the Breaking Heaven Sect and was left behind by Sima Mo.
With this jade slip, one can directly enter Sima Mo's cave.
"Buzz!"
When Qin Hao threw the jade slip into the light screen, the light screen immediately fluctuated violently.
Then, a path automatically opened on the light screen for people to pass through.
"Walk!"
Qin Hao stepped inside, followed closely by Wang Lin.
As he put the jade slip away, the outside returned to the state it was before they entered.
The valley is overgrown with weeds and has nine cave entrances, but the stone gates here are all closed.
On the grass, a skeleton sat cross-legged, its finger pointing to the ground.
In front of him were three jade slips.
The skeleton's body was emitting a faint seven-colored glow, which looked quite eerie.
Qin Hao remotely captured a jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense.
They discovered that Sima Mo and the others had already discovered this Seven-Colored Realm, and that the previous pill formula was obtained from here.
It also records that Sima Mo's uncles and fellow disciples became lost souls and rebels.
The Time Restriction set up by Sima Mo was something he learned from a jade slip he found in the Seven Colors Realm.
"Sima Mo, you're a cultivator within this realm, yet you've betrayed us and fled to the outer realms for personal gain!"
Qin Hao snorted coldly, showing utter contempt for Sima Mo.
The other party was originally a prodigy within the realm, but later betrayed them and went to the outside world. With the help of the Master, he became a third-step great power.
After Wang Lin arrived outside the border, Sima Mo deliberately bullied the weak and went to hunt down Wang Mazi.
"boom!"
After reading the jade slip, Qin Hao immediately threw a punch, opening one of the cave dwellings.
As the stone gate shattered, a putrid smell wafted out.
Inside the cave, there were several fist-sized beads floating around.
Each bead has a faint rune mark on it.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Lin also appeared inside the cave, and he casually picked up a bead.
"This—this is—"
Wang Lin stared blankly at the bead in his hand. He could tell at a glance that it was exactly the same as the bead that Cang Songzi used to summon the rebels.
Most importantly, this bead is exactly the same as the Heavenly Reversal Bead in terms of size, weight, and even aura.
If it weren't for the absence of the Five Elements pattern on it, Wang Lin would definitely have thought it was a Heavenly Reversal Pearl.
He took a deep breath and exclaimed in shock, "Who? Who is actually imitating the Heavenly Reversal Pearl?"
Wang Lin never imagined that someone had been imitating the Heavenly Reversal Pearl countless years ago.
These beads do not possess the power of the Heavenly Rebellion Beads, but they do seal the supernatural abilities of those who defied the heavens.
"Junior Brother Wang, since you like these beads, then they're yours!"
As Qin Hao spoke, he gave all the other beads to Wang Lin.
These beads were of little use to him.
In fact, having read the original work, he knew very well that the imitations of the Heavenly Reversal Pearls here were actually made by Lu Mo.
However, the Heavenly Reversal Pearl was of such high grade that even with Lu Mo's fourth-step Heavenly Realm strength, he couldn't refine it.
[Ding! Detected that Wang Lin obtained ten failed imitations of the Heavenly Reversal Pearl, each containing an attack at the level of Celestial Exhaustion. The host has obtained twenty enhanced imitations of the Heavenly Reversal Pearl, enabling the summoning of a third-step Void Nirvana Great Perfection attack!]
"Twenty attacks of the Great Perfection of Emptiness and Nirvana?"
Qin Hao thought to himself, "With these attacks, dealing with other third-step cultivators will be much easier."
Next, Qin Hao opened the second cave.
Inside this cave dwelling is a huge alchemy furnace, and a large amount of medicinal herbs around it have long since dried up.
In addition, there are many storage bags here.
Qin Hao picked up a storage bag, scanned it with his divine sense, and found that it was full of various medicinal herbs that were already scarce in the outside world.
"I still need these medicinal herbs, so they're mine!"
Qin Hao put away all the storage bags and headed towards the third cave.
Wang Lin naturally had no objection to this.
After all, Qin Hao was the one who brought him here.
Inside the third cave, an array was set up.
The array was surrounded by elemental crystals, which allowed it to continue operating even after nearly 20,000 years.
Above the formation were three medicine bottles.
Clearly, the formation here is specifically designed to draw upon vital energy to nourish the pills inside the medicine bottle.
In addition, this formation also has a destructive effect.
If it is forcibly opened, the pills inside will inevitably be destroyed.
"break!"
Qin Hao ignored this and directly broke through the formation, reaching for the jade bottle inside.
