Chapter 1064: Chapter 1064: Ancestor’s Cave Mansion

In the dense mountain forest, Wang Chen leapt and soared.

He was using the Land Soaring Technique, a spell of not very high quality level but extremely practical, best suited for use in complex terrains without the restrictions of instantaneous movement spells like Wanli Free.

Due to frequent usage, this movement technique had already been advanced by Wang Chen to the level of Great Perfection.

However, right now, as he moved through the forest, he felt like a fish entering the sea or an eagle soaring through the sky, experiencing absolute freedom and exhilaration.

The densely packed towering trees around him, far from hindering Wang Chen’s movements, seemed to provide some inexplicable and unclear help.

He felt as if he had merged with the natural world, becoming a part of this great mountain, this vast forest.

And such a feeling was not present before the Fate Blessing!

As he had no particular destination, Wang Chen just kept flying forward until a cliff appeared ahead of him.

Blocking Wang Chen’s way was a vast gorge.

This gorge, hundreds of feet deep and straight and wide as if cleaved by a mighty ancient Power Man with a sword, felt extremely perilous and dangerous.

At the bottom of the gorge flowed a raging river, its roaring waters crashing against the reefs and rock walls of both banks like a mighty beast’s roar.

Without any hesitation, Wang Chen leapt straight down.

His actions were completely spontaneous, not considering success or failure, only seeking a moment of Spirit Mechanism.

Of course, Wang Chen did not disregard his life and death; in the moment he jumped into the gorge, he had cast a light body spell on himself.

His body immediately became as light as a feather, slowly falling towards the bottom of the gorge.

But just as he had descended about ten meters, a strong cross-gorge wind blew, instantly pushing him hundreds of steps away.

Yet Wang Chen did not resist, letting the wind carry him as he floated through the gorge.

Flying aimlessly.

In this manner, after nearly the time it takes one incense stick to burn, Wang Chen had descended roughly forty or fifty meters, his gaze turned to a nearby waterfall, suddenly stirring something in his mind.

This gorge, located deep within Fulong Mountain, was profoundly nestled into the mountain range, receiving water from many streams and rivers, forming the great river below.

These streams and rivers cascaded down from the cliffs, hundreds of meters, forming waterfalls of various sizes like jade belts.

The waterfall Wang Chen saw was just one of many, with nothing peculiar or special about it.

Yet an inexplicable intuition told him–go in and take a look!

Immediately, Wang Chen summoned a Sword Light, crossing hundreds of steps in an instant, and directly collided with the waterfall.

The falling water, parted by his Body Protection Mana, darkened his view instantly.

But this did not affect Wang Chen’s vision at all; with a wave of his robe sleeve, he steadied himself inside a cave.

Waterfall Cave?

Indeed, behind the waterfall was a hidden Cave Heaven, concealing a very large cave with stalactites hanging strangely and rock walls speckled with spots, also growing some Spirit Grass plants.

However, after several rounds inside the cave, Wang Chen was stunned to find nothing unusual.

It seemed that this was just an ordinary cave formed by water erosion, and the Spirit Grass growing in the crevices of the rocks was quite ordinary, hardly worth a few Spirit Stones.

Strange!

Wang Chen was somewhat frustrated; he clearly had a Perception just now.

But the result was so disappointing.

Had the Fate Technique failed?

Wang Chen frowned slightly, still not giving up, he took another round, attempting to use his Divine Sense to explore, and knocked on several rock walls separately, all to no avail.

This had Wang Chen scratching his head.

He wanted to look around more here, but considering the time limitation of the Fate Blessing, he thought about it and decided to go out and search again, coming back later would not be too late.

But just as Wang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly halted.

The next moment, Wang Chen steeled his heart.

He was like a gambler who had lost everything, betting his last fortune.

[Heavenly Merit-83494]

Wang Chen burned all his remaining Heavenly Merit in one breath.

The Fate Blessing on him surged mightily!

And Wang Chen’s Perception underwent a new change in an instant; it was somewhat hazy, entering an incredibly mysterious state.

His gaze naturally fell on a stalactite column not far from him.

There were hundreds, if not thousands, of stalactite columns of varying sizes in this cave, obviously formed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The stalactite column Wang Chen was staring at didn’t look much different from the others nearby.

Just differences in length and thickness.

But the more Wang Chen looked at this column, the more he felt something was off; it seemingly stood alone amidst many others, as striking as a light in the darkness.

He immediately dashed over and gently pressed his palm against the column.

The sensation from the palm was nothing special, slightly moist and cool.

Wang Chen pondered for a moment, then tried to channel a whisper of Mana into it.

However, his Mana disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea, with no feedback whatsoever.

But it was precisely this that greatly uplifted Wang Chen’s spirits.

Because if it were an ordinary stalactite column, the conduction of Mana within the body of the column would definitely produce a reaction.

This wasn’t the case at all!

Therefore, Wang Chen did not hesitate to increase the infusion of Mana, continuing to inject his robust power of the five elements incessantly into this ordinary-looking stalactite column.

Wang Chen was of High-Order Golden Core Cultivation Level, with his Dan at First Grade and Mana far more pure and robust than his peers. Under normal circumstances, let alone a stalactite column, even a Second Order Spiritual Artifact would struggle to withstand such a massive infusion of power.

But this stalactite column not only endured it completely, it also began to emit a faint radiance.

Gold, green, blue, red, yellow–interwoven colors!

Immediately after, countless True Seal Talisman Scripts appeared on the surface of the column, and an ancient and profound aura instantly surged into Wang Chen’s body.

Wang Chen trembled all over and involuntarily withdrew his hand.

Beneath his feet, rays of white light appeared, and he instantly vanished without a trace.

The next moment, Wang Chen found himself in a secret chamber!

The chamber wasn’t large, less than twenty square meters. The walls were bare without any decorations, but the pearls embedded on each side of the walls emitted a soft glow, illuminating the whole room.

In the center of the room, a cultivator dressed in a gray robe was sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

His divine appearance was gaunt, skin wrinkled, seeming very old; his long hair, white with age, hung to the ground, eyes tightly shut, unmoving, emitting no trace of living breath.

Clearly, he had been in meditation for untold years.

Aside from this cultivator, there was nothing else in the secret chamber, no furniture or any kind of decor.

Wang Chen’s gaze fell on the left hand of the cultivator.

The cultivator’s left ring finger bore a dull gray ring, seemingly inconspicuous.

Sumeru Ring!
