Chapter 1064: Cave Left Behind by Ancient Practitioners

In the dense forest, Wang Chen leaped with the grace of a bird.

He employed the Lightweight Spell, a technique of modest rank yet highly practical, ideal for navigating complex terrains without the constraints of teleportation spells like the Leisurely Courtyard of Thousands of Miles.

Frequent use had allowed Wang Chen to perfect this movement technique, achieving perfect mastery.

At this moment, as he darted through the forest, he felt as free as a fish in the ocean or an eagle in the vast sky, experiencing an unparalleled sense of liberation and joy.

The towering trees around him posed no obstacle; instead, they offered an inexplicable support.

It was as though he had become one with nature, an integral part of the mountains and the forest.

This sensation was new, something he hadn’t felt before the enhancement of his fortune!

With no particular destination in mind, Wang Chen continued to glide forward until he encountered a cliff.

Blocking his path was a vast canyon.

This canyon plunged several hundred feet deep, its straight and broad expanse appearing as if carved by an ancient power with a sword, exuding an aura of extreme peril.

At its base roared a mighty river, its turbulent waters crashing against the rocks and the rock walls on either side, resembling the roar of a Giant Beast.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen leaped down.

His actions were spontaneous, driven not by thoughts of success or failure but by the pursuit of a fleeting inspiration.

Of course, Wang Chen did not disregard his safety; as he leapt into the canyon, he activated the Lightweight Spell.

Instantly, his body became as light as a feather, descending slowly towards the canyon’s floor.

Just after descending about ten feet, a powerful gust of wind swept through the canyon, carrying him several hundred steps away in an instant.

But Wang Chen did not resist; he allowed the wind to carry him, drifting aimlessly through the canyon.

He floated like this for nearly the time it takes to burn an incense stick, descending almost forty to fifty feet. As his gaze fell upon a nearby waterfall, a sudden intuition struck him.

This canyon, nestled deep within Fulong Mountain, stretched an unknown length; it was deeply embedded in the mountain range, fed by streams and rivers that flowed into it, forming the large river below.

These streams cascaded from the cliffs, creating numerous waterfalls, large and small, resembling jade belts.

Wang Chen noted that this waterfall was merely one among many, with nothing particularly unusual about it.

Yet, a mysterious intuition urged him to explore it!

Without delay, Wang Chen surged forward, a sword light flashing hundreds of steps in an instant as he headed straight for the waterfall.

The cascading waters parted before his protective magic, and suddenly, everything turned dark.

But this did not hinder Wang Chen’s vision; with a wave of his robe sleeve, he landed steadily inside the cave.

Waterfall cave?

Behind the waterfall lay a hidden world, a vast cavern with stalactites hanging and bizarre stones jutting out, the rock walls dotted with some spiritual herbs.

However, after wandering back and forth in the cave several times, Wang Chen found nothing out of the ordinary.

It seemed like a typical cave formed by water erosion, and the spiritual herbs growing in the rock crevices were nothing special, barely worth a few spirit stones.

How strange!

Wang Chen felt a tinge of frustration; he had clearly sensed something moments ago.

But the outcome was far from satisfactory.

Had the luck enhancement failed?

Wang Chen frowned, unwilling to give up. He turned around and tried to extend his divine sense to explore, even tapping on several rock walls, but he found nothing at all.

This left Wang Chen scratching his head.

He wanted to look around more, but considering the time limit of the luck enhancement, he thought for a moment and decided to search elsewhere, knowing he could always return later.

Just as Wang Chen prepared to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In the next moment, he made a bold decision.

Like a gambler who had lost everything, Wang Chen wagered his last bit of wealth.

【Heavenly Merit – 83494】

Wang Chen burned all his remaining Heavenly Merit in one breath.

The luck that enveloped him surged dramatically!

Instantly, his perception shifted in a new way, becoming somewhat vague, plunging him into a truly wondrous state.

His gaze naturally fell upon a stalactite column not far from him.

This cave was filled with hundreds of stalactite columns, varying in size and shape, evidently formed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The stalactite column Wang Chen focused on appeared no different from the others nearby.

There was only a difference in length and thickness.

However, the more Wang Chen looked at this column, the stranger it felt; although it was surrounded by many others, it seemed to stand out alone, like a light in the darkness.

He immediately flew over and gently placed his palm against the column.

The sensation in his palm was nothing special, slightly moist and cool.

Wang Chen pondered for a moment and tried to inject a bit of magic power.

But his magic power was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, with no feedback at all.

Yet, this only invigorated Wang Chen.

Because if it were an ordinary stalactite column, the magic power would certainly generate a reaction within the column.

It could not be like this!

Thus, without hesitation, Wang Chen increased the flow of magic power, continuously channeling his abundant elemental energy into this seemingly ordinary stalactite column.

Having reached a higher-level Golden Core cultivation level, Wang Chen’s magic power was pure and powerful, far exceeding that of his peers. Under normal circumstances, not only would a stalactite column struggle to withstand such a force, but even a second-tier spirit tool would find it difficult.

However, this stalactite column not only fully withstood the influx but also emitted a lightly glowing radiance.

Gold, green, blue, red, yellow—all five colors intertwined!

Then, countless True Seal characters emerged on the surface of the column, a chilly air with Gao Yuan’s essence suddenly surged into Wang Chen’s body.

Wang Chen trembled and instinctively withdrew his hand.

White light shone from beneath his feet, and in an instant, he vanished without a trace.

The next moment, Wang Chen found himself in a hidden chamber!

The hidden chamber was small, about twenty square feet, with stark walls devoid of decoration. However, the pearls embedded in the walls on either side emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire room.

In the center of the room sat a cultivator clad in a gray robe, sitting cross-legged on a mat.

He had a gaunt face with wrinkled skin, appearing to be extremely old, with long gray hair cascading down to the ground. His eyes were tightly closed, motionless, devoid of any signs of life.

Clearly, he had been in a state of meditation for many years.

Aside from this cultivator, there was nothing else in the hidden chamber; no furniture or adornments.

Wang Chen’s gaze landed on the left hand of the cultivator.

On the nameless finger of that hand was a plain gray ring, seemingly inconspicuous.

Xumi Ring!
