Chapter 463 Strange Black Stone

The atmosphere around them suddenly became solemn and quiet.

Everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts.

After continuing to travel for about two quarters of an hour, Xiao Ming and his group finally arrived at the end of the Frozen Valley. When they looked ahead, they saw a snow-capped mountain a thousand meters high in front of them. The snow-capped mountain was blocking their way.

The road under their feet extended all the way to the foot of the snow-capped mountain. The foot of the mountain was clean and refreshing, without any snow, and there was a cave entrance the size of a house that was flashing with light.

"Let's go, that cave is the entrance to the underground palace." Shi Wuzun threw down a sentence, and then rushed forward first.

Everyone looked at each other, and each of them was on guard first, and then followed one by one.

This distance was a blink of an eye for Xiao Ming and others. In one or two breaths, everyone arrived at the entrance of the cave.

When they looked ahead, they saw that there was a different world inside the entrance. Every few distances, a fist-sized sunstone would be inlaid on the stone wall.

The sunstones emitted a white glow, and the cross-reflection illuminated the space inside the entrance like daylight.

More importantly, Xiao Ming and others found that the further they went into the entrance, the larger the space became!

At a glance, they couldn't even see the end!

It seemed that the entire mountain had been hollowed out.

Looking at the empty and bright cave, Xiao Ming's expression moved, and he quietly released a huge spiritual consciousness. However, as soon as the spiritual consciousness poured into the cave, it was instantly sucked over by an inexplicable force in the cave, and then swallowed up in one fell swoop!

The sudden scene surprised Xiao Ming. He quickly retracted the remaining spiritual consciousness and looked at the cave entrance with fear.

The power of spiritual consciousness is somewhat different from the true essence in the body. After the true essence is exhausted, it can often be quickly replenished, while the spiritual consciousness is more difficult.

It's not that the lost spiritual power can't be replenished, but it takes more time and effort to do this.

The exploration just now had caused Xiao Ming to lose about 1% of his spiritual power. Considering that his soul and consciousness far surpassed those of the same level, this was actually a huge loss.

And if he wanted to make up for the spiritual power he had just lost, even with Xiao Ming's current spiritual strength in the Dharma Realm, he would have to practice hard for at least a day and a half.

After taking a deep look at the cave entrance, Xiao Ming retracted his gaze and then looked at the others.

The others also looked like they had suffered a loss, and their faces were shocked and angry. At the same time, they looked at the entrance of the underground palace with obvious fear.

It can be seen that they all quietly released their spiritual consciousness just now, wanting to enter the cave to find out what was going on. The result is self-evident. It must be the same as Xiao Ming. The spiritual consciousness they released was swallowed up by some kind of power in the cave.

"This cave entrance is so fucking weird, there is a force that can devour my consciousness!" Lan Tou Tuo couldn't help cursing, then he looked at everyone and said, "Looking at your expressions, you must have suffered a loss, right?" Everyone was speechless, but nodded silently. Even Shi Wu Zun nodded slightly, and his face turned pale, and it seemed that he had suffered a big loss. "Shi Wu Zun, what's going on?" Lan Tou Tuo turned his head and asked. Everyone looked at Shi Wu Zun. Compared with others, Shi Wuzun was not so panicked. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "According to the books in my family, there will be a door in the deep space of this entrance, and the door is inlaid with a strange black stone that can devour the power of consciousness." "The black stone is equivalent to the key that can open the door of the underground palace. However, the door will only open after the black stone absorbs enough power of consciousness." "And this is why I summoned you here." Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and then looked at each other, and for a while they didn't know what to say. A strange stone can actually devour consciousness, which sounds incredible. More importantly. The meaning of Shi Wuzun's words just now is obviously to sacrifice everyone's consciousness and then open the door of the underground palace! "Shi Wuzun, you only said that you would use our consciousness, but you didn't say that you would feed our power to any stone!" Lady Dark Night said angrily. "Yes! I thought they just asked us to exert our strength at the same time to open some secret treasure, but we are asked to sacrifice our spiritual power!"

"Such a sacrifice is too great!"

"The spiritual power is different from the true essence in the body. Once it is devoured, it cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Without the assistance of spiritual power, we are equivalent to blind and deaf."

"Who said it's not true!"

"I have cultivated so much spiritual power with great difficulty, and I don't want to sacrifice it in vain!"

Everyone talked about it, and everyone's face was full of anger and indignation.

Shi Wu Zun was helpless about this. He shook his head and said, "I will not force you to enter the cave, so whether or not to offer your spiritual consciousness is entirely up to you."

"I just want to remind you that since you have come here, you can't return empty-handed, right?!"

"Once the door to the underground palace is opened, the cultivation resources left by my ancestors are extremely rich. Maybe some of these resources can help you go further and break through to the realm of Dharma!"

After saying this, Shi Wu Zun didn't even look at the reactions of the crowd and strode directly into the cave.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion again, neither leaving nor entering for a while.

"Mr. Xiao, what are you going to do?" Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Princess Linglong looked at Xiao Ming and asked.

Xiao Ming squinted at the back of Shi Wu Zun who entered the cave, and then said slowly, "I believe that even if I lose the assistance of my spiritual consciousness, the danger inside will not be able to hurt me, Xiao Ming. Of course, there is a high probability that it will not be able to hurt me. Everyone."

"After all, apart from Linglong, we are all strong men who have overcome the great tribulation of the Great Perfection. Who doesn't have a few tricks to beat the odds?"

"Besides, what Shiwu Zun said is absolutely right."

"The underground palace here is the place where the Ice Emperor rests. You can imagine the cultivation resources it has. If everyone's luck is good enough, you might actually be able to find a way to advance to the Dharma or elixir resources."

"In a word, I plan to enter the cave and try my luck!"

With that said, Xiao Ming stepped up and chased Shi Wu Zun.

Seeing this, everyone was a little stunned, while Princess Linglong bit her teeth and followed.

"Princess Linglong's realm is only in the middle stage of transcending the tribulation, but she actually has the courage to enter the cave," Madam Anye was a little surprised, then turned to look at Slender Taoist and Lan Toutuo, and asked,

"Now there are only three of us left, what are your plans?"
