After dealing with these thousand-year soul beasts, Cheng Xiao's gaze also fell upon the waterfall. At this moment, he was absolutely certain that the Blue Silver Emperor was behind this waterfall.
"Be careful," Ye Lingling reminded him, having seen through Cheng Xiao's thoughts.
"Mm." Cheng Xiao nodded slightly and stepped forward toward the surging current of the waterfall. The giant dragon Nash within his shadow wanted to take action, but Cheng Xiao refused.
"I haven't made a move in a long time. It's time to stretch a bit."A faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as Cheng Xiao raised his arm. Instantly, an invisible force directly blasted the waterfall's flow apart.
Seizing the moment before the water could converge again, Cheng Xiao's figure flashed. The instant he arrived beneath the waterfall, an even more powerful force erupted. Driven by his immense soul power, the waterfall's flow rolled upward from below.
As the waterfall receded, Cheng Xiao clearly saw the cave entrance behind it—and that entrance was obviously the place he was searching for.
"Hand of the Dominator!"
Pushing his palm forward, Cheng Xiao took a deep breath as a calm, low shout echoed within his heart.
With the activation of the skill, a massive pushing force burst forth from Cheng Xiao's palm like a raging storm, directly forcing the waterfall's water to the highest point. Taking advantage of the moment when the water could not fall back down—
Ye Lingling lightly leaped forward with graceful movements, arriving beside Cheng Xiao, and the two of them moved together toward the cave.
Standing before the cave, Cheng Xiao noticed many marks that looked like they had been carved by blades and axes. Perhaps due to the waterfall's constant erosion over the years, these traces had become somewhat blurred.
"This is the place." Cheng Xiao smiled, took Ye Lingling's small hand, and strode boldly into the pitch-black cave.
Walking through the quiet, dark tunnel, a faint chill wrapped around the two of them. With the waterfall outside and a place that rarely ever saw sunlight, this area was extremely damp and cold.
Within the silent passage, only their light footsteps and the howling of the cold wind could be heard.
After walking for a while, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling suddenly stopped. Before them stood a stone door emitting a faint blue glow, and behind this door was exactly what Cheng Xiao needed.
After briefly scanning the stone door, Cheng Xiao didn't find anything resembling a mechanism or switch. Clearly, Tang Hao's protective measures were quite well done.
"Nash, you do it."Unable to find a switch, Cheng Xiao moved his thoughts, and the shadow soldier Nash immediately emerged from the shadows. Under the gaze of the two, he threw a punch.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out. The seemingly indestructible stone door instantly cracked under Nash's punch, then with a dull thud, shattered into a pile of rubble.
"So strong…" Ye Lingling's small mouth opened slightly as she stared at Nash, who had smashed the stone door with a single punch, and said in astonishment.
"Your Majesty, please enter."As he spoke, Nash glanced at the rubble on the ground. With a surge of shadow power, an invisible force wrapped all the debris together and hurled it straight out of the cave.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, but he still affirmed Nash's actions. Then, under Nash's gaze, he entered the stone door together with Ye Lingling.
As the two stepped inside, their field of vision suddenly became much brighter. This was a huge stone chamber—vast and empty. Several unknown stones were embedded in the surrounding walls, serving as lighting.
At the center of the stone chamber was a small mound of earth, on which grew a slender stalk of Blue Silver Grass. This Blue Silver Grass looked slightly taller than ordinary ones, and what was more unusual was that its leaves were etched with golden patterns.
Looking at the Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns growing from the small mound, Cheng Xiao walked forward with a smile, came before it, crouched down, and gently touched its leaves.
It had to be said—compared to ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Emperor gave off a far superior impression. These extraordinary golden patterns truly lived up to its status as the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan.
Although A Yin at present still possessed a faint trace of consciousness, she knew very clearly that the young man before her was not someone she could resist in her current state.
After her sacrifice back then, the life seed she left behind contained the profound meaning of "wildfires cannot burn it all away; spring winds bring it back to life." That was why she had managed to survive until now.
However…
Cheng Xiao glanced around the stone chamber and couldn't help but smack his lips. He really didn't know whether Tang Hao did this on purpose or what—actually planting A Yin in such a sunless place.
Logically speaking, even ordinary flowers and plants should be planted somewhere with sunlight and water, right?
Yet this stone chamber, aside from a small hole overhead that allowed a glimpse of the outside, was completely sealed. Was this really a place a human would think of planting something in?
When they had just walked in, Cheng Xiao had clearly felt how cold and damp the tunnel was. In such a humid place, aside from special plants, no vegetation should be able to survive.
"You should be able to sense me, right?"Cheng Xiao lowered his head and gently stroked the Blue Silver Grass's leaves.
As they made contact, the Blue Silver Grass swayed more intensely. Feeling Cheng Xiao's touch, A Yin quietly grew, the golden lines on her leaves seeming to come alive, gently pulsing like rippling golden light.
"Cheng Xiao, is this grass the hundred-thousand-year soul beast you mentioned?" Ye Lingling leaned closer curiously and asked.
A single blade of grass… no matter how one looked at it, it didn't resemble a ten-thousand-year soul beast at all.
"She is—but she ended up like this because of some idiot," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.
"Huh?" Ye Lingling was stunned. It was the first time she had ever heard Cheng Xiao curse. But what made her even more curious was who that "idiot" he mentioned was.
Could it be that this grass became like this because of the person Cheng Xiao mentioned?
While the two were talking, the Blue Silver Grass was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Without hesitation, Cheng Xiao injected all the remaining divine soul power within his body into the Blue Silver Grass. Instantly, the latter released a sacred blue-golden light, turning the entire stone chamber into a clear, crystalline blue.
Originally, the Blue Silver Grass's leaves were only about one chi long, but after receiving Cheng Xiao's soul power, they grew to two chi. Even though this was divine soul power, she no longer continued to grow.
In the next moment, a strange scene appeared. The Blue Silver Emperor's leaves slowly moved, gently wrapping around Cheng Xiao's wrist.
Immediately after, an extremely gentle spiritual fluctuation quietly emerged. Cheng Xiao sensed her curiosity about his identity—after all, at this stage of A Yin's life, aside from the Tang family, no one else had ever interfered.
"It seems you still have some consciousness. Next, if you can understand what I'm saying, nod your leaf," Cheng Xiao said calmly. He knew A Yin could understand.
Sure enough, after Cheng Xiao finished speaking, one of the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves trembled slightly and nodded downward, indicating that she could understand.
In fact, A Yin was quite puzzled. From Cheng Xiao's body, she sensed two completely different energies—one was a dark power symbolizing death, while the other was the same sacred energy that had once hunted them down.
She was extremely curious how someone could possess both energies at the same time. Although the death energy within the young man before her was stronger and filled her with fear, her kind nature still led her to respond.
She believed that not all humans were bad—just like Tang Hao, for whom she was willing to give up her life and offer herself as a sacrifice.
