Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Divine Cave

Chu Feng touched the stone wall and asked curiously, "What kind of ore is this, and why is it blue?"

Anna explained, "The underground here for thousands of miles around is made of this stone, which provides light and heat that allows us to survive below the caves."

Nightingale said, "It has always been like this down here; we have no idea what this stone actually is."

"See, you completely lack a scientific spirit."

Chu Feng criticized before punching the wall, hoping to break off a whole rock to study it further.

The punch brought with it wind, and the area shook with a rumble.

The density of this rock was surprisingly high; Chu Feng’s punches could pulverize the rocks outside.

But here, even using thirty percent of his strength, he couldn’t budge it.

"I still don’t believe it."

Feeling frustrated, Chu Feng reached out his hand towards Ji Wanyu and said, "Princess, lend me your Emperor Yu’s Sword."

Ji Wanyu smiled and handed it to him.

The Divine Sword emerged, and with a swish, a cold light slashed through a protruding rock.

The Sword Qi was fierce, chopping off a piece from the top.

Chu Feng examined the piece in his hand: it was pure blue, still glowing, without any Spiritual Energy, but there was a very strange kind of energy fluctuation.

He handed it to Long Fei, impatiently saying, "Here, take it. I’m still better at studying women."

Wang Xiaoya and the others rolled their eyes.

Long Fei weighed the stone and sent his spiritual power into it, but didn’t feel anything special.

If it were a Spirit Stone, one would be able to feel a clear and penetrating aura.

He opened the pores on his hand and used his physical body to feel it more carefully.

Suddenly, a strong Killing Aura emerged; from within the stone emitted spirits of unwillingness, misery, and despair.

Long Fei’s hand jerked away, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing the change in his expression, Wang Xiaoya asked curiously, "What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this stone?"

The others also looked at him curiously.

Long Fei frowned and said, "This stone is very special; it seems as if it was cast from fresh blood."

"Ah?"

"No way?"

"How is it so eerie?"

Everyone shuddered.

Anna said, "How could it be? This stone emits light and heat; it’s a very good material."

Nightingale added, "Yeah, if it were cast from donated blood, wouldn’t it have turned into a blood cave? We used to live here and nothing happened."

Long Fei explained, "Of course, it’s not ordinary blood donation but a higher level of blood containing divine substance, possibly from a being of True Immortal Level."

Chu Feng asked, "Are there Immortals in this world?"

Ji Wanyu replied, "Why not? Legends say there are, but the Immortals have abandoned this place. The Imperial Family’s secret records mention that before the era of the Great Xia Country, it might have been an era where Immortals and humans coexisted. For some reason, as the heavens and earth changed, the Immortals all left. As time went on, the suppression from the heavens and earth grew stronger, making it difficult even for those in the Nascent Soul Realm to break through."

Chu Feng analyzed, "That’s incredible. Anna said that this place has these rocks for at least a thousand miles; how many Immortals must have died to cover such a large area?"

"There must have been a great battle here initially!"

Long Fei was certain of his judgment, and he let Anna and Nightingale continue leading the way to explore deeper for more clues.

The cave was deep, resembling a coal mine they had once descended into; they walked tens of thousands of meters, going down at least a thousand meters before discovering a massive cavern.

Inside, there were many forks, almost like an ant nest.

If it weren’t for Anna leading the way, they wouldn’t have found this place.

This was the underground world; it was hundreds of meters high and tens of thousands of meters in radius.

The cave was hung with azure stalactites, and beneath them were colossal stone columns, each towering over ten meters high.

It resembled a forest, scattered throughout the cave.

This place was naturally formed, and based on the density of the blue ore, it was impossible to be mined by humans.

The Elf Tribe had built wooden houses and courtyards, arrayed in rows and blocks, which were clearly visible.

But the houses had collapsed and were already in ruins.

Anna and Nightingale hurried inside to search, hoping to find their own tribespeople.

However, there was no sign of life here anymore, only an empty cave remained.

Long Fei and the others went down together, wandering around the cave.

In the middle of the cave was a pool-like depression, roughly tens of meters in diameter.

Long Fei curiously looked at it—the pit was dried up, containing only a bit of blue liquid.

This liquid had dripped down from above the cave.

Drip by drip accumulating, based on such a rate, shouldn’t there be more liquid in this place?

Around this pool, platforms resembling altars had also been constructed.

Unfortunately, they were destroyed, with signs of damage everywhere.

Anna and Nightingale came running over, crying and complaining with snotty noses, "Gone, all of our people are gone."

"We must kill these evil people."

Long Fei glanced at Wang Xiaoya and the others, asking them to comfort the two sisters.

He instructed the two, "Alright, now is not the time to cry. This area belongs to the Demon Race, who knows what might appear. Don’t worry, your master will definitely help you seek revenge."

The sisters gradually calmed down, wiping their tears and nodding their heads.

Long Fei asked them, "This pool, it used to contain a lot of blue liquid, right?"

Anna responded, "Yes, this is our Elf Tribe’s Sacred Pool. Every elf child, after being born, has to soak in this pool for two or three years."

Chu Feng frowned and said, "It’s not that your skin turned blue because you soaked in it, right?"

Anna blushed and said, "My parents mentioned that our ancestors, when they lived on the surface, had the same skin color as everyone else. After living underground generation after generation, it turned into this color."

Long Fei went over, dipped his finger into a small pit of blue liquid.

He closed his eyes, sensitively feeling it.

The liquid inexplicably connected with the blood in his body.

The aura from the liquid, when absorbed into his blood, caused the blood to absorb it madly as if encountering some delicious food.

He thought of the Demon Race, suddenly opened his eyes, and softly muttered, "So that’s how it is."

Chu Feng asked, "What did you see?"

"Rambling nonsense!"

"How can you see anything?"

Ji Wanyu and Lin Shanshan raised their eyebrows, both reaching their hands into the small pool.

But as soon as they touched the water, they quickly pulled their hands back, crying out in pain and complaining, "What is this? Why is it corrosive?"

"Could it be sulfuric acid? Am I going to be disfigured?"

Lin Shanshan shouted frantically.

Long Fei laughed and said, "Who told you to touch it? This liquid contains Killing Aura, ordinary physical bodies simply can’t handle it."

Anna explained, "Right, from childhood we use this to cleanse our marrow and refine our bones, but even we can only soak in it for a short while each day. If soaked too long, it feels like being slashed with swords inside our bodies."

"This liquid is very vigorous, bearable only before the age of three. The older you get, the less you can endure it."

Nightingale added.

Wang Xiaoya and Chu Feng listened in amazement.

Long Fei sighed and said, "Success and ruin by this water. The catastrophe that befell your Elf Tribe is likely related to this blue liquid. If my guess is correct, some forces wanted to use this liquid to temper their bodies, hence they drove you out and killed everyone, then took this place for themselves."
