“Senior, where exactly is that cave?” David’s eyes lit up as he looked at Musya.
Musya did not answer directly, but instead raised her hand and pointed at the empty air. A very simple map projection, depicted by faint starlight, appeared.
Most of the area was blurry and indistinct, only one corner was marked with ancient and strange rune symbols. The shape of the mark was like a rotating cloud vortex, or some kind of primitive melting furnace.
This place was located at the westernmost edge of the Twelve Heavens, near the gap between the void wind belts.
Musya pointed at the rune, her tone a little serious, “The space structure there is fragile and chaotic, eroded by storm winds and space torrents over the years, forming countless space-time fragments and natural forbidden areas. It is very difficult for ordinary cultivators to find the right path, even if they find it, it is not certain that they can withstand the environment there.”
“The entrance of the cave is hidden within a serene space-time fragment called the Guixu Eye. From the outside it looks like a secluded paradise isolated from the world, but inside it is full of deadly danger at every step.”
He looked at David, “Mr. Chen, the power in your body is special, perhaps it can withstand some environmental corrosion.”
“However I must warn, the cave is very old, the restrictions are unfathomable, the methods of ancient alchemists are very different from our current cultivation methods. The trials often go straight to the core, very dangerous.”
“Opportunity is sought in danger, junior understands.”
David cupped his hands, his eyes showing no fear.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord grinned wider, his demon pupils twinkling with light that showed fighting spirit and curiosity: “Sounds like an interesting place, I will come with you.”
David nodded, just happened to let the Chiyun Demon Lord come along, maybe they could find the Nine Orifices Soul Grass.
Mu Sha nodded, turned the starlight map shadow into a pale gray badge that was neither gold nor jade, and handed it to David: “This is a guiding talisman. You can activate it by injecting your unique spiritual power, and it will show you the direction when you approach that area.”
“But whether you can really enter the Eye of the Void and find the cave, it depends on your own luck and strength.”
David solemnly accepted the badge, feeling a trace of an extremely ancient and mysterious aura within it.
During the break before leaving, David’s doubts about the structure of the Heaven Realm resurfaced, especially the origins of the Mu Sha couple.
He couldn’t help but ask: “Senior Musya, we are very grateful for your and your wife’s help this time. It’s just that, where on earth are the two of you currently cultivating on any mountain or holy place on the Twelfth Heaven? If there is any important business in the future, we can visit to express our thanks.”
Mu Sha and his wife looked at each other, smiling gently, their smiles carrying a hint of casualness: “Master Chen doesn’t need to be shy. We are not people who stay in the Twelve Heavens for long.”
“Isn’t it a long stay?” David was surprised.
“Correct.”
Musya nodded, then slowly said, “The two of us are actually from the Thirteenth Heaven.”
“Thirteen Heavens?”
Not just David, even Jin Buhuan, Li Baichuan, and the others beside him were flabbergasted.
As top-level sect leaders in the Twelve Heavens, they of course knew about the Thirteen Heavens, but they also knew that entering the Thirteen Heavens was difficult, and it was not enough to just have strength.
“Fellow Daoist, can you tell me, how did you go to the Thirteen Heavens?” Jin Buhuan asked.
“Wouldn’t we be able to leave just by opening a void channel?” David asked in surprise, not understanding why Jin Buhuan would ask that, “I was always like this, from the First Heaven, then arrived here through a void channel.”
Jin Buhuan, as well as Li Baichuan and the others, upon hearing that, all shook their heads!
This made David completely confused, and even the Red Cloud Demon Lord was a little confused.
