The Azure Sword God
Hidden Places

Phoenix Mountain

The quite dark passageway in front of Jian Chen and Xiao Yu was indeed made intentionally by someone.

This matter was already known to Jian Chen as he had examined him using the Eternal Purple Crystal. Although he could not see clearly, it did not mean he did not catch a glimpse of the contents of the place.

“Ayo.” Jian Chen slowly walked towards the usual dark place followed by Xiao Yu.

Jian Chen remained in the grip of the Azure Sword as he did not know what danger would be in there.

The two continued to step up little by little on the dark path. If it was an ordinary person, then they would only have a dead end there. But not for Jian Chen who had great tracking.

At a certain place inside the cliff crevice, two figures were seen sitting relaxing in a small cottage.

The small cottage is located in a cliff gap that is quite wide. Anyone would have expected that there would be such a place in Phoenix Mountain, what else in one of the dangerous places.

For these two figures who were inside the bamboo hut, if Jian Chen were there, he would definitely recognize one of them.

The figure recognized by Jian Chen seemed to be serving one middle-aged man who had a slightly ferocious look.

“It's been almost two years we've been here. Soon, what we will wait will be achieved.” The middle-aged man said with a slightly excited tone.

The young man who looked like a bodyguard also put a smile on his face. He also could not wait for what they found in the place.

“Lei Zhu, you should be happy because with your previous weak strength, you will be able to reach this level. If you do not find a suitable supporter on the Buddha Island, you will only become a slave of others.”, said the middle-aged man when he saw the young man who was none other than Lei Zhu, the young man who came from Lizawa Island, Zhen's former subordinate.

“Master, what you said is true. If I continue to be on Lizawa Island, then it is certain that I will only reach Martial Spirit cultivation level, not even going to break through Martial Master.” level Lei Zhu said in a respectful tone to the middle-aged man.

Lei Zhu happened to be caught by someone while going to Yan Kingdom. He was finally down to the Buddha Island and wanted to be sold as a slave. But he managed to escape and met the middle-aged man before him who had quite a strong strength, namely the second stage Martial Grand Master.

During this time, as the bodyguard of the middle-aged man, Lei Zhu received quite good treatment, he gained a lot of resources and reached the level of a ninth stage Martial Master. His talent is actually quite high, but it is unfortunate that he was born on Lizawa Island, a place that is quite isolated from the outside world.

“ Soon you will reach the level of Martial Grand Master, Lei Zhu! Your Birth Form is indeed quite strange, but it can be said to be top rank because it is a spirit animal form but can use the Wind element like the owner of the Birth Form that was born with the Wind element.” said the middle-aged man with a strange look meaningfully towards Lei Zhu.

Lei Zhu smiled slightly as it was true that he also did not know clearly what the previous Birth Form was when he had not fully awakened. At first he also thought that he was born with the Wind element Birth Form.

“Yes. But even so, if we get what is here, the benefits I receive will not be as big as you.” Lei Zhu shook his head knowing that what was stored in that place was not very suitable for him to consume as a cultivation material.

Lei Zhu's gaze was fixed on a certain spot in the area. There is a lava pool that is not too big. He and the middle-aged man did not know where the lava came from, it never hardened and also never ran out.

“Does the spirit animal in this place still come often? We will have trouble harvesting all the resources if spirit animals attack.”, said the middle-aged man.

“No. Lately, all those spirit beasts seem to be going somewhere else. I don't know why. However, I did not dare to investigate because all those spirit beasts were extremely powerful, not something I could fight against.” Lei Zhu shook his head as he said that.

The middle-aged man only nodded small in no wonder at all. In fact he was no match for many spirit beasts in the strange place they had entered.

“Hm?” The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and put on a serious face.

“What's Mr Cao Ye?” Lei Zhu asked curiously as Cao Ye suddenly stood up.

The middle-aged man named Cao Ye immediately replied with a slightly grim tone, “There is breaking the illusion I made! They will be coming to this place soon!”

“What? Breaking illusions? Who're they? Is it a Martial Earth level cultivator?” Lei Zhu asked hurriedly as only a cultivator of that level was able to break Cao Ye's illusion.

“No, through the illusion connected to me, they are indeed quite powerful. I couldn't detect them because his speed broke the illusion. I can only track a glance!” Reply Cao Ye.

“If it is true that they entered, then the only way right now is to use spirit beasts in the driveway to stop them. Do you agree Mister?” Lei Zhu asked as he also did not want the other cultivators to enter the place. The reason was simple, if he stopped for at least another year inside that strange place, then his cultivation would increase drastically even if he was not the owner of the fire-type or lava-type Birth Form.

“Yes, this is the only way! We don't know how strong the two cultivators who entered this place are! Lei Zhu, immediately prepare the Angry Powder for the spirit beasts there to try to finish off anyone they see!” Cao Ye's orders.

Lei Zhu nodded then immediately went to prepare many traps using the spirit beasts to attack others who had entered the place.

The current Jian Chen had shattered the illusions of darkness created by someone. He was well aware that the illusion was made of qi. Using the Eternal Purple Crystal, he was able to clearly see where the weakness of the illusion lay.

However, Jian Chen had to admit that the illusion technique created at the entrance was indeed very extraordinary. He was well aware that if he did not reach the Martial Earth level, he would not be able to pass through the illusion.

After the illusion was broken, the darkness in that place immediately disappeared and the actual entrance was visible.

“This, it is really unexpected that there is a place like this in this cliff gap!” Xiao Yu exclaimed as he stared at the scene in the distance.

Jian Chen was also surprised when he looked towards the distance. The place they entered was actually quite a vast land that was flanked by two very high cliffs, both cliffs almost covering the ceiling, the, but there was still a lot of sunlight that entered in a certain way as if it had been made on purpose.

“It would never have been expected that there would be a strange valley that looked so beautiful and hidden in Phoenix Mountain!” jian Chen said as he stared at the valley that was covered by two giant cliffs. Although he was still in the not-so-great hallway, he could still see clearly to a place far enough away.

And what Jian Chen had tracked down was actually inside the crack earlier was, the auras of the spirit beasts were quite strong.
