Chapter 1411 - Ninth-Level Primal Origin Realm
A cave soon came into view ahead of Liu Wuxie. A stone stele stood before its entrance, bearing the three characters that said, "Immortal Stone Cave."
He followed the stone path up to the stele, where an invisible barrier suddenly rose before him, blocking the way and preventing anyone from entering.
"I'm Liu Wuxie, and I have come here to cultivate by the order of my master," Liu Wuxie said, cupping his fists toward the surroundings as though he were addressing empty air.
He knew, however, that a hidden expert had been watching over this place, ensuring that no one could ever trespass.
"Go on in." A voice echoed, and the invisible barrier opened on its own, parting like a curtain, revealing a passage for Liu Wuxie to step into the Immortal Stone Cave.
By now, all of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's upper echelons knew Liu Wuxie's name from the heated debate some time ago, and news of his journey to the Blood Fiend Battlefield to rescue more than forty disciples had already spread among them.
Disciples like Bu Wenxing and Guan Jinpeng were protégés of the elders of the Heaven Gaze Realm, and both wielded considerable influence and status. Once they returned, they naturally praised Liu Wuxie to their masters.
At this point, Liu Wuxie's reputation blazed like a rising sun among the Heavenly Dragon Sect's upper echelons, and more and more people had begun to support him.
Stepping past the barrier, Liu Wuxie entered the Immortal Stone Cave. To his surprise, the interior was brightly lit, with luminous pearls embedded in the stone walls on both sides. The deeper he walked, the stronger the immortal energy he sensed flowing out from the depths of the cave.
Liu Wuxie quickened his pace. If an immortal stone truly lay within, it would be an immense boon to him. Ordinary people could barely extract any energy from an immortal stone, even if they trained beside it; at best, they could use the ambient immortal energy to temper their bodies. Liu Wuxie, however, cultivated the Desolate Devouring Art, capable of devouring all things under heaven.
As the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, he understood the value of an immortal stone better than anyone. With the desolate world within him, he could store an endless amount of energy, and he felt that the immortal energy would trigger a qualitative transformation in that inner world.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, a stone house appeared ahead, and the immortal stone lay within it. The stone house existed for a single purpose—to prevent the immortal energy from leaking out.
