Chapter 361: Opportunity on the other side
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
While they were cultivating, the others inside the little world were also looking for their opportunities.
Sima You Lin brought the few Sima clansmen to another side, to an area where heaven defying treasures would also appear.
Different from Sima You Yue and the others, the place that they went to did not attract spirit beast battles. Nobody contested them either. The treasure matured on the second day that they had arrived there.
Furthermore, they easily obtained the treasure after a battle with the guardian beast.
“You Lin, where are we going now?” Sima You Yang asked.
“We’re not going anywhere. This place is relatively hidden, so we’re going to cultivate here.” Sima You Lin said.
“We’re not going to look for other treasures?” Sima You Qing asked.
“Didn’t you guys notice that the spiritual qi here is denser?” Sima You Lin asked in reply.
“It does seem a bit denser.” Sima You Ran said.
“The first thing we have to do upon coming here is to become stronger.” Sima You Lin said, “The spiritual qi here is at least three to four times that of the Yi Lin Continent. If we manage to make use of the opportunity, we should be able to rise by an entire level. If we accompany it with a spiritual array, we can increase the spiritual qi even more.”
“Then we can cultivate for a period of time before going to look for Sima You Yue and the others. On the way there, we can just casually see if there are any more treasures.” Sima You Qing said.
“However, why is the spiritual qi denser here as compared to other places?” Sima You Ming asked.
“There must be a reason.” Sima You Ran said, “If we are able to find out why, who knows? We might be able to obtain a bigger opportunity.”
Sima You Lin looked them over and said, “Then let’s go and find out the reason why first.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s check out the area where the spiritual qi is the densest, first. If we do this we might be able to find out.” Sima You Yang said.
“Let me try.” Sima You Lan closed her eyes and sensed around her, saying, ” I can feel that the spiritual qi all bubbling here, it feels like they’re drifting over there.”
She pointed at a mountain peak nearby.
“Could it be that something is attracting them?” Sima You Qing wondered.
“We’ll know once we go and take a look.” Sima You Lin flew over there after he finished speaking.
As expected, when they got close to that mountain peak, the spiritual qi got denser. When they landed on the peak, they felt that the spiritual qi was like a gushing river.
The few of the stopped and felt that it was quite strange. The spiritual qi was clearly dense, so why were they not any spiritual beast nearby?
“There’s an array!” Sima You Lin said after his return from walking around the area.
“An array? Could there be someone here?” Sima You Qi asked.
“No. The array was made very very long ago. It’s possible that someone who came here in the past set it up. Sima You Lin said.
“A long time ago?” Sima You Yang said, “That person must be very highly ranked at arrays then. It’s been so long but the array is still active.”
Sima You Lin looked closely at that array and said, “No Wonder. The array was made using borrowed spirit stones.”
“What are borrowed spirit stones?” Sima You Qing asked.
“A very rare kind of array spirit stones. If you use borrowed spirit stones to make the array, the spirit stones can absorb spiritual qi from the environment to support the array. That is why, as long as the spiritual qi in the surroundings does not disperse, the array will continue to be active.” Sima You Lin explained.
“I see.” Everyone understood, “No wonder the array lasted for so long.”
“What kind of array is this? Can you break through it?”
“It’s a bit troublesome.” Sima You Lin looked at the mountain peak and said, “This array is a protective array that can attack. If it receives any arrack, it can bounce the attacks right back. That’s way you can only find a way to break it, you can’t take it down with brute strength.”
“You Lin, can you do it?” Sima You Yang asked.
“I can try.” Sima You Lin said.
Two days later, they were still outside the array.
“If you really cannot do it, we can try to contact fifth bro.” Sima You Ran said.
“Not bad, You Yue’s knowledge in arrays are pretty decent. Who knows, he might be able to give you some pointers.” Sima You Yang said.
“Try it then.” Sima You Lin didn’t object.
Sia You Ran took out the Mother Stone and inserted spiritual qi. However, it didn’t have a single reaction.
“Looks like we’re already out of range.” Sima You Ran said.
“Let me try again.” Sima You Lin flipped his body as he spoke, and flew beside the mountain peak. He sat on the peak and looked over, then lowered his head, as if he was calculating something.
After two days, as he was calculating, he suddenly thought of something that Sima You Yue said.
“There are times that the array needs to be destroyed from the outside, but some need to be destroyed from the inside. Those that are to be destroyed from the inside, will definitely have an entry point that leads directly to the core.”
When he thought of this point, his eyes flashed and he came down from the mountain. After that he walked two more rounds around the array.
“You Lin, have you thought of a way to break it?” Sima You Yang asked.
“Mm.” Sima You Lin nodded, “You all get back.”
After speaking, he came to an inconspicuous borrowed spirit stone and took a deep break before taking a step and entering.
“He’s gone?” Sima You Yang cried out when he saw that Sima You Lin had disappeared right in front of him.
After about an hour had passed, Sima You Lin came out from there again.
“You Lin, have you destroyed it?” Sima You Qing asked.
Sima You Qing’s face was one of delight as he said, “No need to destroy it. We should make use of this array to protect us. I’ll bring you in. You definitely have to follow my footsteps. You can’t be off at all.”
“Okay.”
Sima You Lin turned around and entered again, and everyone went in tensely, on by one, following his every step. Ten minutes later, all of them were in.
“Heavenes, the spiritual qi here is so much denser than outside!” Sima You Qing could not help by cry out.
“There are things inside that will continue to shock you.” Sima You Lin said.
When he entered just now, there was already given the place a once over. At that time, he was so shocked that he almost couldn’t come back to his senses.
“Is there some sort of treasure in that cave?” Sima You Qing beamed.
“You’ll know once you go in and take a look.” Sima You Lin said as he took them into the cave.
This cave went downwards, and it got wider as they went deeper. After a while, they reached the bottom.
“Why does this place have a lake?” Everyone was surprised when they saw the lake in the cave.
“Take a closer look.” Sima You Lin said.
Everyone was still confused, but they turned around to look at the lake when they saw how secretive he was.
“This- this is…” Sima You Ran was the first to understand. His eyes were filled with shock.
Everyone else started to come back to their senses as they cried out, “Could it be that all this is spiritual qi?!”
“That’s right. If we absorb all this spiritual qi, our strength will definitely climb by a lot.” Sima You Lin was a bit excited, and did not maintain his usual placid look.
“However, how did this spiritual qi gather into a lake?” Sima You Ming asked.
“Maybe we’ll understand after we absorb the Spiritual Qi.”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go down and cultivate!” Sima You Yang was the first to charge and jump in. Of course, it didn’t splash in a wave out like the usual water.
The others exchanged glances and jumped in as well. Then, they started cultivating.
