Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 742 - 474: The Gold Condensation Fruit Tree, The Swift Have the Advantage? (Two in one, asking for subscriptions and monthly passes)_2

He had his suspicions, but since ancient texts did not record it, and there was little intersection between the Southern Sea and the Eastern Domain Cultivation World, he naturally wouldn't disregard danger just for a suspicion.

Even though the Secret Realm was near, they still used the Zifeng Boat to fly for a whole day, only to see the vast sea in the distance.

Without any islands in sight and scarce fish and shrimp within the sea, the water looked unusually clear. Peering into the distance where the end of the sea and the sky met, if one didn't look closely, they couldn't even tell where the sky ended and the sea began; truly a seamless blend of sky and water!

"The Secret Realm is under the sea; this is also the place where the Golden Core Cultivator passed away!" Jiuxiao Hermit spoke.

Lin Shiming stopped as well, and both retracted the Zifeng Boat, took out their Water Escape Talisman, and headed straight down towards the bottom of the sea.

The depths of the sea were even more colorful, with various corals, fish, shrimp, and some predatory Demonic Beasts in sight.

Lin Shiming, not wanting to cause any disturbance, also took out the Eternal Night Umbrella.

This Eternal Night Umbrella, refined from the hide of a Chameleon Flood Dragon, rendered their figures invisible upon entering the sea, and there was no need for a Water Spirit Cover; they moved at the sea bottom as comfortably as if they were walking on flat land.

And their speed wasn't slow!

This sea area was thousands of feet deep, and it seemed as if something prevented Divine Sense from penetrating deeper into the water.

Of course, the deeper they went, the more obstructed their Divine Sense was, which made Lin Shiming feel even more at ease.

If it were so easy to find, the treasure and cave dwellings, let alone the Gold Condensation Fruit Tree, would have long been discovered by others and wouldn't be waiting for them.

Finally, they reached the bottom of the sea. Here, it was as deep and dark as the night sky, and the pressure of the sea water had reached its limits. Ordinary Qi Cultivators would probably not be able to bear it and would be crushed to death.

The Eternal Night Umbrella, however, consumed almost no True Yuan.

And finally, Lin Shiming and his companion saw a half-destroyed ancient plaza.

In the plaza, a mysterious Formation was clearly visible, keeping the seawater out.

Inside, there were glowing green stones emitting a faint light, illuminating each stone pillar as if it were an ancient sacrificial site.

Eerily floating above were remnants of Spirit Puppets and various beast bones.

"Daoist Lin, wait for me!" Jiuxiao Hermit landed on the plaza, moved past the first spirit column, and went directly to the second one.

As he pulled by hand, the spirit column fell out. Seeing the break, Lin Shiming knew that the spirit column must have been refined by Jiuxiao Hermit, and he couldn't help but admire the capabilities of such a seasoned practitioner from the Purple Mansion stage.

Jiuxiao Hermit took the spirit column and then took a vial of Spiritual Liquid from his chest, pouring it onto the column. The next moment, the column started to change color, revealing the appearance of a mirror.

The slender mirror seemed very strange, and under the influence of Jiuxiao Hermit's Spirit Art, images began to appear and change continuously the next moment.

The images were changing at high speed, but still within the acceptable range for cultivators.

Until a certain moment, the images in the mirror showed something unusual.

Several deep-sea Demonic Beasts appeared, wandering among the stone pillars.

This scene left Lin Shiming and Jiuxiao Hermit with changed complexions, but thankfully the Demonic Beasts didn't find the entrance to the Secret Realm and eventually left quietly.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

The images in the mirror continued to change. The calm didn't last long, and soon in the images, a huge Octopus Demon King appeared. At that moment, numerous tentacles grabbed all the stone pillars and yanked fiercely!

The entire plaza shook violently, countless volumes of seawater began to intrude, and the hearts of both cultivators rose to their throats.

However, there was no change in the scene; the square remained the same.

Even the spiritual column where the mirror was placed showed no signs of breaking. Lin Shiming was even more amazed by the methods of Jiuxiao Scatter Man.

Yet this scene seemed to have enraged the Octopus Demon King. It opened its massive maw and spat out a terrifying venom, beginning to assault the entire square.

The square shook ominously as if on the brink of collapse, and many spiritual columns finally started to break. A tiny circular light spot was also revealed in the center of the area, and the Octopus Demon King's eyes narrowed as a huge tentacle brutally burrowed into it.

Puchi!

A massive circular hole appeared in the center of the square.

And within this circular hole, a palace was revealed, containing a massive Gold Condensation Fruit Tree that radiated an enormous spirit light.

In front of the palace stood two spirit puppet warriors.

Jiuxiao Scatter Man put away the mirror image. At this moment, without hesitation, he took out another spiritual column from his bosom and placed it where the original one had been.

This spiritual column was clearly made from the same stone as the original square and matched perfectly with what had been there before.

It seemed that Jiuxiao Scatter Man had done this to prevent others from getting there first and taking the treasure.

But unexpectedly, the arriving Demon King managed to break through this formation with brute force.

The great hall of the square began to tremble again, each fluorescent stone shone brighter, and waves of spirit light intertwined to form a net, revealing a vast dark cave.

This square was clearly still connected to a secret realm.

Jiuxiao Scatter Man released the Red-haired long rat and sent it straight in.

After a while, he spoke again:

"There's no danger; the Gold Condensation Fruit Tree is still there!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man said, visibly relieved.

But his complexion was still poor.

This secret realm was no longer known only to the two of them; other cultivators had appeared, and that Demon King was apparently also waiting for the Gold Condensation Fruit to mature.

At that level, a Demon King's spirit intelligence was not the slightest bit inferior to that of cultivators.

The two entered the secret realm and saw that the palace had been thoroughly explored.

The plaques had fallen, golden rubble lay scattered about, numerous walls had been knocked down, and the chambers of the True Person had been completely reduced to ruins.

It was completely different from the palace they had seen in the images before.

Clearly, the True Person's chambers had been toppled and scoured clean by the Demon King, likely also looted by some Purple Mansion Great Demons.

Even the Spiritual Medicine Garden at the front doorstep was devastated, with only some young spiritual medicine seeds remaining, but even their growth was stunted.

Many Spirit Gathering Arrays had been destroyed.

At the entrance to the palace, two spirit puppet corpses remained. Lin Shiming approached and picked them up, finding that their robustness was by no means inferior to the two spirit puppets he had purchased from Qian Ji Island.

Clearly, these spirit puppets had the strength of at least the Fourth Rank pinnacle in their prime.

"This is why I wanted someone at the late stage of Purple Mansion to come here. Some of my good friends died at the hands of these two Fourth Rank pinnacle spirit puppets!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man sighed.

Memories of the past flashed through his eyes, causing a pang of sorrow.

He had not expected that these two spirit puppets would meet their end at the hands of the Octopus Demon King.

After the melancholy passed, both raised their heads.

They saw the Gold Condensation Fruit Tree in the very center, still emitting a rich light, each leaf shining with an astonishing spirit light, resembling golden coins.

At the tip of the leaves, three Spirit Fruits were located at three different corners.

The golden Spirit Fruits were clearly still unripe, but the enormous spiritual energy had already gathered into three spirals of spiritual energy above the fruits.

Frenziedly sweeping up the surrounding spiritual energy.

The entire secret realm's spiritual energy seemed sparse, and even the surrounding seas had been thoroughly drained by it.

At this rate, because of the scarce spiritual energy, it would probably take another ten years or more for the fruits to fully mature.

And it was for this reason that the Demon King had not stayed here!

Jiuxiao Scatter Man's complexion worsened.

"Daoist Lin, I miscalculated; I didn't expect that the Spirit Fruit would still need another decade to mature!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man couldn't help but speak out.
