Chapter 3730
When Fade entered the valley, there was a cracking sound under his feet. He looked down and couldn't help but be shocked.
That was because at that moment, there was a layer of white bones under his feet.
Because of their age and the seawater, the bones were very fragile. With a light step, Fade broke them into pieces.
Moreover, judging from the shape of the bones, most of them were sea beasts with some human skeletons interspersed among them.
"This sacred land is a little special!"
Fade muttered to himself. With a little force, he moved his body in the air to continue to move forward.
At the end of the valley, an entrance about the height of a person appeared in front of Fade.
After entering through that entrance, Fade first felt his legs go soft, and then a special fragrance poured into his mouth and nose, which shocked him and made him feel refreshed.
That was because that smell was exactly what he had smelled on Lyfia's body before.
"This sacred land can really enhance one's soul energy. That's great."
Fade was overjoyed and he hurriedly began to cultivate.
Just like that, Fade cultivated in the cave while Scalish stood guard outside the sacred land.
Time passed little by little.
One day later, Scalish probed the valley but did not find any movement from Fade. He could not help but murmur, "It's been a day and Mr. Chen is still inside. No wonder he's known as the Young Master!"
Two days later, there was still no movement in the valley. Scalish became a little anxious. "Mr. Chen still hasn't come out yet. Is there anything wrong? After all, if he stays in the valley for a long time, his spiritual consciousness will be damaged!" Three days later, it was still quiet.
This time, Scalish almost couldn't help but murmur, "Ever since they discovered this sacred land, the longest anyone from the Mermaid Sect has lasted in there is three days."
"If more time passes, one's spiritual consciousness will suffer irreversible damage. In the end, the person who enters it will lose his mind and die a crazy and violent death."
"A certain expert of the Mermaid Sect once died because of this, thus leaving a lesson for the entire clan."
Four days later, the valley was still the same as usual.
Scalish, who was at the entrance, really couldn't sit still. He couldn't help entering the valley and going to the entrance of the cave, wanting to call Fade out. However, when he took a closer look, he found that Fade, who was inside the cave, was safe and sound. He didn't seem to be in danger at all.
Therefore, Scalish withdrew.
Five days later, everything was the same as before. Scalish went to see Fade several times, worried that there would be problems with his spiritual consciousness. However, Fade was still the same as usual, as if there was no difference.
Six days later, Scalish, who was still waiting outside, was completely numb. He already couldn't imagine who could stay in that sacred land for six full days without the slightest bit of discomfort.
After all, three days was the limit for even the strongest member of the Mermaid Sect. Presently, even Scalish could only hold on for one and a half days.
"Will there really not be any problems?"
"If something really happened to Mr. Chen and I didn't remind him, what should I do?"
Just as Scalish was struggling, Fade opened his eyes in the cave.
After six days of cultivation, Fade felt that his divine soul had become much stronger, and even his spiritual consciousness had grown slightly bigger. Fade wanted to continue, but then he found that he seemed to have reached his limit. If he continued, it would not have much effect.
Therefore, he took the initiative to end his cultivation.
Despite this, Fade did not leave directly. Instead, he looked around the cave.
After a round of observation, Fade really found something unusual.
There were circles of marks around the cave. They were neat and extended to both sides, becoming smaller and smaller, and they were very uniform.
Moreover, the soft ground beneath his feet did not look like a gravel ground at all.
Fade gathered his positive energy and stabbed the ground. He dug out a piece of it and took a closer look. Fade was shocked.
That was because what he dug out
was not the ground at all, but a prece of meat. It seemed like a piece of meat that had been placed there for a long time and it was fused with minerals from the seawater.
"This..." Fade's heart skipped a beat. He looked around the cave and saw the circle of marks. He gently scraped them and carefully observed them. Then, Fade couldn't help but widen his eyes and he exclaimed in surprise, "These are bones."
"This whole cave is not a stone cave at all, but a huge animal's body."
"This huge animal died here, and its flesh gradually peeled off and dissolved. The bones of its body slowly merged with the surrounding environment. The circles of marks were rows of the animal's ribs."
Thinking of this, Fade came out of the cave and cleaned up the stones, corals, and other things around it.
Then, he swam to the top and looked down from a high position.
This time, the shape of the cave below was very obvious. It was not a stone cave at all, but a huge animal corpse. It looked like an animal like a blue whale.
"It seems that this so-called sacred land was created by the blue whale after its death."
Fade landed and whispered to himself, but then he thought of something.
"However, no matter how high the cultivation of a normal blue whale is, I have never heard of the effect of being able to strengthen one's soul energy. Is there any other reason?" Thinking of this, Fade entered the cave again and explored it carefully.
In the end, Fade reached the end of the cave. He dug through the earth and stones and found half of the skull-like remains.
There was a small round hole in the skull. There was a thin blue line that extended out from the center of the skull.
Fade dug out a piece of bone and approached it. Suddenly, he found that there was a strong fragrance inside, which was several times stronger than what he felt when he entered the cave.
Fade tried other places and found that the blue line was embedded in the bones, and they all emitted the fragrance.novelbin
Moreover, the starting point of those blue lines was the small round hole in the skull.
Seeing this, Fade had a rough guess.
In the beginning, in the sacred land of the Mermaid Sect, that cave should have initially been a huge blue whale sea beast.
For some reason, this sea beast either mutated itself or devoured some treasure. In the end, that small ball was formed in its head.
That small ball had the effect of strengthening one's divine soul. It spread out from the head of the sea beast, along its bones, step by step throughout the beast's entire body. In the end, the sea beast died there, and the ball in its head disappeared.
However, the sea beast's body remained there, merging with the surroundings, forming a cave. In the end, it was discovered by the Mermaid Sect, and it became their sacred land. "It's just a remnant body. After so many years, it still has such an effect. Then, how effective must the small ball have been in the sea beast's body?" Fade couldn't help but sigh. Then, Fade left the valley.
Seeing this, the anxious and uneasy Scalish hurriedly went up to him. After looking around for a while, he saw that Fade was fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fade did not hide anything. He told Scalish about his discovery and conjecture.
Then, he bade farewell to Scalish and returned to White Moon Island.
