Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 142 - 142 141 Yang Fish

142: Chapter 141 Yang Fish 142: Chapter 141 Yang Fish Disciples outside the blood-colored gate were petrified by the terrifying power; they had no idea what had happened inside and could only keep guessing.

Inside the gate, the light slowly faded, and dust settled.

The area was a complete mess, and the air was still filled with a terrifying aura.

Lin Xuan’s face was pale white as he gasped heavily for breath.

During the explosion a moment ago, he had frantically activated his defenses, but the force was so massive that he felt as if he was being crushed to dust.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a black vortex appeared in front of him, sucking away all the terrifying energy.

In this way, he had narrowly escaped disaster.

The bronze gloves and ancient armor on his body both had developed cracks and were likely to shatter after a few more uses.

The mountain peak talisman treasure, on the other hand, had turned directly into dust, disappearing into the air.

He circulated the Longevity Technique while looking around.

Suddenly, his brow twitched.

Ahead, a frail girl in white lay to one side, with blood seeping from her body.

“Are you alright?” Lin Xuan asked laboriously as he walked over.

The girl in white had been severely injured and her divine sense was unclear.

She slightly opened her mouth, then fainted.

Lin Xuan was startled, but when he sensed that the girl was still alive, he let out a sigh of relief.

Taking out a cup of Spiritual Wine, Lin Xuan administered it to the girl.

Then he began to sit cross-legged to focus his breathing.

An hour later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes.

Although his injuries weren’t healed right away, he was at least able to move.

Standing up and moving his limbs, Lin Xuan looked forward, where there was a path leading into the unknown.

He bent slightly and hoisted the girl in white onto his back, then headed into the depths of the cave.

Feeling the warmth behind him, Lin Xuan’s heart beat violently; he had never carried a girl, especially not one so beautiful.

Fortunately, his will was strong, and he quickly steadied his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan walked deeper in.

Drip-drip!

Drip-drip!

Water droplets fell from the ceiling of the cave, and Lin Xuan stepped into the puddles, splashing himself.

After some time, he arrived at the end.

There was also a pool at the front, but it contained water, not blood.

The space wasn’t large, only about a third of the size of the Outer Door’s grand hall.

At the center was a pool that nearly took up half the space, with walls surrounding it.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

Lin Xuan set down the girl in white, then he began to look around.

He realized this was not some place of inheritance, as the Outer Door disciples had imagined.

However, he hadn’t come away empty-handed.

There were engravings on the surrounding walls, many of which were martial arts techniques, much to Lin Xuan’s delight.

“These seem to be various Loose Hands,” Lord of Wine said sharply, recognizing them at a glance.

“Loose Hands are fine, too.

After all, I obtained the Wind Emperor’s Sword, which is a kind of inheritance,” Lin Xuan said contentedly.

He examined each one and realized that the martial arts inscribed weren’t very good; some were even inferior to Xuan-grade martial arts techniques.

Sighing, Lin Xuan sat down.

At that moment, the girl in white also awoke.

Her eyes, like clear autumn waters, held a trace of confusion, followed immediately by intense pain.

Lin Xuan supported her, slowly infusing a thread of Spiritual Power and moving it through the girl’s body.

He realized that the Longevity Technique had a superior healing effect, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivation techniques.

Nourished by Lin Xuan’s Spiritual Power, the girl in white’s complexion gained a hint of rosiness.

“My name is Lin Xuan, a disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

May I ask for your name?” Lin Xuan retracted his hand and offered her a flask of Spiritual Wine.

“Shen Jingqiu,” the girl in white said softly as she accepted the Spiritual Wine.

“Can you tell me more about what you’re searching for?” Lin Xuan asked, displaying a curious demeanor.

Shen Jingqiu shook her head, “Actually, I was also ordered to find this thing, but I don’t know the specifics.”

Lin Xuan was astonished, not expecting such an answer.

Afterward, the two fell silent, each healing their bodies.

A day later, Lin Xuan woke up hungry.

With his cultivation at the Spirit Sea First Layer, he was far from the conditions required for fasting and needed a large amount of food to replenish his energy.

Opposite him, Shen Jingqiu’s face was slightly red, and she awkwardly covered her stomach.

“I’m hungry…” Lin Xuan’s face fell.

“Let’s see what we have.” He got up and walked to the front of the pool.

After a day of recovery, both of their bodies had improved a lot, and some of their cultivation had been restored.

Now, standing in front of the pool, they kept watching intently.

Splash!

Splash!

As if responding to Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu, noises arose from the water.

Lin Xuan used his Purple Spirit Eyes to look downward.

A few shadows swam swiftly, occasionally blowing bubbles.

“There are fish!” Lin Xuan’s face lit up with joy, and Shen Jingqiu smiled delightedly.

“Watch me!” Lin Xuan flicked his finger, and a golden electric arc shot into the water, vanishing in a flash.

Moments later, a deep sound echoed, and several shadows floated to the surface.

They were red all over, about a meter long, and looked quite ordinary.

“Huh, it’s actually Yang Fish!” Lord of Wine exclaimed in surprise, “But the bloodline isn’t pure…”

Lin Xuan was too hungry to pay attention to Lord of Wine’s words and was focused solely on the fish.

Three fish surfaced, and Lin Xuan scooped all of them up and then cleaned them.

“We don’t have fire.” He scratched his head, took out a Treasure Long Sword, and skewered the red Yang Fish onto it.

“I’ll do it.” Shen Jingqiu gave a wry smile and flipped her palm, conjuring a flame.

Who could have imagined that one day Heavenly Treasures and Cultivation Techniques would be used to grill fish…

The two devoured all three big fish to their heart’s content, sighing with satisfaction.

“We should go back.” Lin Xuan was ready to leave.

However, when they returned to the blood-red door, they discovered, to their dismay, that they couldn’t open it at all.

“How could this be?” Lin Xuan frowned.

“I remember…

Seems like a force sucked us in that day,” Shen Jingqiu remarked from the side.

“But there’s nothing here!”

They exchanged glances and then decided to conduct a thorough search.

Despite their efforts, they found nothing.

Finally, Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu returned to the pool.

“This pool…” Shen Jingqiu was puzzled.

“It’s the only place we haven’t checked, shall we go down and have a look?” Lin Xuan was curious as well.

Having made their decision, the two didn’t rush into the pool but focused on recovering their cultivation to full strength.

No one knew what was underneath the pool, not even Lord of Wine could sense it.

Two days later, their cultivation was mostly restored, and they finally decided to explore underwater.

Shielding themselves with Spiritual Power Defense, Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu dived into the water.

The water wasn’t cold; on the contrary, it was slightly warm.

They descended continuously, startling the Yang Fish that scrambled around them.

Lin Xuan used his Purple Spirit Eyes to examine the surroundings and noticed a vast shadow below.

Shen Jingqiu, who evidently also detected something strange, consulted with him, and they decided to keep descending.

At Lin Xuan’s current level of Cultivation, he could stay underwater for half an hour without needing air, but if it were any longer, he would start to struggle.

As for Shen Jingqiu, with her high Cultivation, she probably didn’t have this problem.

They descended quickly and soon arrived in front of the large shadow.

“This is…” Lin Xuan’s pupils contracted, his face a picture of shock.
