203: Mountain Drill

Three streaks of fiery light landed, transforming into three figures that slowly approached.

One was wreathed in flames, his body covered in crimson scales, his eyes fierce, a single eye on his forehead, and his face full of demonic patterns.

Another was a Pure Burning Demoness, with a captivating, curvaceous figure, thin fleshy wings on her back, and a slender, barbed tail.

She smiled faintly, revealing two long, sharp fangs at the corners of her mouth.

The last figure was shrouded in a black robe, their face indistinct, yet it made Gu Changsheng frown slightly.

Among the three, the black-robed person's cultivation was only at the Middle Stage of Profound Cave, yet they were positioned in the center, subtly holding a special status among the trio.

"Haha, Fellow Daoists have finally arrived.

This is my Junior Brother, Li Daoyi," Ling Xuzi greeted enthusiastically, pointing to the fierce Holy Ancestor wreathed in flames.

"This is Fellow Daoist Yan Mo, the City Lord of Black Flame City.

That day, the city where we were was within Fellow Daoist Yan Mo's jurisdiction."

Gu Changsheng nodded slightly, continuing to listen.

"This Pure Burning Demoness is named Jing Shao, from the great sect Nine Desires Demonic Sect, her fiery bath makes people sink into depravity."

As he spoke, Ling Xuzi's face showed a reminiscent, lewd expression.

Clearly, she was a female Cultivator of the Holy Realm.

However, a female Cultivator at the Late Stage of Profound Cave was indeed rare.

'Jing Shao... she's quite 'burning'...' Gu Changsheng glanced at the Pure Burning Demoness, who was staring intently at him, her eyes hazy, as she licked her lips with her pink tongue, utterly seductive.

A strange flame inexplicably rose in his heart.

"After this matter, Junior Brother can try this woman's Dual Cultivation method, it's truly remarkable..." Ling Xuzi secretly transmitted.

Gu Changsheng's face darkened upon hearing this.

"The last one is Fellow Daoist Tuoba Hai of the Yaksha Clan."

"Yaksha Clan..."

Gu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

The master of this Immortal Cave, Guangyuan Sacred Ancestor, was from the Yaksha Clan.

"Haha, just as Junior Brother thought, this Opportunity was first discovered by Fellow Daoist Tuoba Hai, who then invited many friends.

Breaking open the Immortal Cave's entrance this time requires the combined efforts of many Profound Cave Body Cultivators, only then can we all enjoy this Opportunity."

'So that's how it is...' Gu Changsheng glanced over.

Suddenly, a mocking voice, like tree bark rubbing, came to his ears.

Yan Mo sneered, "Ling Xuzi, breaking open the Immortal Cave's entrance this time will require the magic power of at least five Late Stage Profound Cave cultivators.

Fellow Daoist Tuoba Hai, as the initiator and possessing special enhancing methods, is no less effective than a Late Stage Profound Cave cultivator.

However, this Junior Brother you brought, merely at the Middle Stage of Profound Cave, what right does he have to share the Opportunity with us?"

Was he being looked down upon? Gu Changsheng frowned.

"Yan Mo, rest assured, my Junior Brother's magic power is profound, far surpassing those of the same rank, even our Sword Ancestor has praised him, and with his Divine Ability, he is absolutely no less than you all."

The Sword Ancestor, who had overcome six tribulations, was a prominent figure even in the Holy Realm.

Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's expression improved significantly.

"Let's try to break open the Immortal Cave's entrance first... Even if the magic power is a bit short in the end, I have an Exploding Qi Pill here, which can temporarily increase magic power cultivation after consumption.

There should be no problem."

Tuoba Hai changed the subject, moved to the front of the mountain, and a hazy mystic light emerged from his palm, causing the solid mountain in front of them to ripple like water, revealing a five-pointed Formation Plate.

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

Even with his discerning eye, he couldn't understand this method.

"Fellow Daoists, let's inject our magic power together."

"Alright."

The five of them jointly poured in their magic power, and an endless stream of black Qi surged into the Formation Plate, causing the five points to light up, and the magic power flowed along the grooves into the central formation eye.

As time passed, the central formation eye grew brighter and brighter, but the faces of the several people grew paler.

Clearly, their magic power wouldn't last much longer.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the formation eye, piercing the Void Realm and projecting a scene utterly different from the outside world.

"Just a bit more..."

Tuoba Hai swallowed a blood-red pill, and his aura surged dramatically.

Magic power poured into the formation eye, and the light pierced through the Void Realm, forming a several-zhang-square void.

This was precisely the Immortal Cave world where Guangyuan Sacred Ancestor's Immortal Cave was located.

The several people no longer hesitated, instantly surging into it, and looking back, the void that had just formed was slowly closing.

"Haha, we really got in!"

Yan Mo laughed wildly.

"Clusters of Essence Trees, seas of Lifeless Flowers, Fan Tian Dragon Roots... rare spiritual materials in the outside world are as common as cabbages here.

Moreover, they are of considerable age."

The Pure Burning Demoness exclaimed.

Gu Changsheng glanced over, secretly regretting that he hadn't found any traces of the demonic spirit flower.

However, collecting spiritual materials and exchanging them for demonic spirit flowers in the outside world on another day was not impossible.

The several people landed on the ground, darted into the tree clusters and flower seas, and began harvesting frantically.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and several monstrous beasts with astonishing auras burst out of the ground, with sharp single horns on their foreheads, bodies covered in dense scales, sharp fangs and claws, dragging long tails, their pea-green eyes glaring at everyone with hostility.

"Profound Cave-level Earth-Drilling Beasts.

This place is truly a treasure trove.

Even rare beasts that have been extinct in the outside world for a long time still survive here."

Whoosh—

The Earth-Drilling Beasts burrowed into the ground, and the ground rippled like waves, surging towards the several people.

"Mere Earth-Drilling Beasts..."

Yan Mo's body swelled, and his bone-flame-burning palms slammed down onto the ground, a powerful force erupting, causing a deep pit to collapse, and the Earth-Drilling Beasts that fell into the pit became disoriented.

"Good beasts, these scales are probably comparable to ordinary Spirit Treasures..."

Ling Xuzi threw out a Sword Plate, which shot out hundreds of sword lights, enveloping the surroundings and tightly trapping the rampaging Earth-Drilling Beasts.

In not much time, the scales of several Earth-Drilling Beasts were shattered, and foul blood flowed freely.

The several people busied themselves stripping the scales and extracting the beast cores, then divided the flesh, claws, and single horns according to their contributions.

"This core is good... it's perfect for refining a Scale Core Pill with black flames."

Yan Mo held a crystal-clear beast core, within which a faint remnant soul of an Earth-Drilling Beast subtly surged, causing countless dense scale secret patterns to appear on the surface of the beast core.

He had exerted considerable effort just now.

With him taking the beast core, the other several people naturally had nothing to say.

Yan Mo glanced sideways, seeing Gu Changsheng who was currently dividing the scales, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Just now, when slaying the Earth-Drilling Beasts, Gu Changsheng was purely a bystander, contributing little.

'This person is quite thick-skinned...'

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a powerful aura surged, a colossal shadow covering Gu Changsheng.

"Not good, another Earth-Drilling Beast!"

"Stronger than the ones just now!"

"Damn it!"

Swoosh—

The sharp crimson single horn glowed, rotating frantically, and stabbed towards Gu Changsheng like Mount Tai pressing down.

"Oh, so it's targeting me, the soft persimmon..."

Gu Changsheng's lips curled slightly, and he extended his palm; as his Qi and blood surged, his five fingers rapidly glowed with a bronze luster, like a piece of verdant ancient jade.

Slap—

A palm strike, and powerful Qi and blood erupted.

The mountain-sized Earth-Drilling Beast flew dozens of miles away, smashing a desolate mountain before finally coming to a stop.

A nearly three-zhang-long crimson single horn floated in the air.

"It broke... the Earth-Drilling Beast's hardest single horn actually broke..."

The Earth-Drilling Beast devours mineral veins, concentrating their essence in its single horn, making it harder than ordinary Spirit Treasures.

Now, it had been cleanly broken under Gu Changsheng's single palm.

Everyone gasped.

'This person's Body Refining cultivation is truly terrifying...'

Yan Mo's heart trembled.

Crack—

Five claws tore through the Void Realm, and the sharp claw edges directly severed the Earth-Drilling Beast's head, large gouts of foul blood gurgled out from the broken neck, staining the ground.

Gu Changsheng looked back and smiled faintly, saying, "The entire corpse of this beast belongs to me; I presume none of you have any objections."
