Chapter 1696 Mysterious Stone Fragment!
The storage bag had an enormous interior space, far exceeding what he had used before.
It contains a large number of items, categorized into different types.
The abyssal energy crystals, piled up like mountains, range from low to high rank, and a rough estimate puts their total value at least over ten million points.
Dozens of weapons, armor, and other equipment emanating powerful energy, although most of them had shadow attributes, were at least level ten, including three spirit-grade fragments or consumables that shimmered with spiritual light.
There were hundreds of jade bottles and boxes containing various pills, spiritual herbs, and rare materials, many of which Ye Chuyun had never heard of before, but the fragrance and spiritual energy they emitted indicated that they were extraordinary.
A dozen or so tokens and keepsakes of various styles, as well as several ancient leather maps with intricate routes and markings.
Finally, in a secluded corner, there were three tightly sealed metal boxes, the contents of which were unknown.
Besides that, there are large amounts of God and Demon Coins and Energy Crystals.
There are approximately 30 billion God and Demon Coins, over 2 million Magic Crystals, and even tens of thousands of God Crystals.
"I'm rich! This is true spiritual-level wealth..." Ye Chuyun's mouth was practically stretched to the back of her ears.
The Shadow Spirit Lord has amassed an astonishing amount of wealth over the many years he has spent in the world of gods and demons.
These resources are enough to accelerate the development of Weiyang again.
Ye Chuyun first took out several jade bottles containing pills that were clearly for healing.
Upon opening it, one finds it filled with luminous pills covered in intricate patterns.
The aroma of the medicine was so enticing that just smelling it invigorated him.
"The pills that Spirit-level experts take are just right for this purpose."
Based on the medicinal properties, Ye Chuyun chose two of the mildest pills to take.
The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into two warm currents.
A surge of energy sank into the dantian, gently nourishing and repairing the damaged meridians and acupoints.
A surge of energy rushed straight into the sea of consciousness, nourishing the cracked origins of the soul.
The effect was more than a hundred times stronger than the pills he had used before.
Ye Chuyun immediately sat cross-legged and guided the medicinal power to repair her body.
Meanwhile, he didn't rest either; while healing his wounds, he continued to take stock of his other gains.
Those equipment items weren't needed for the time being, but there was a palm-sized black bone shield that seemed to require only a small amount of magic power to activate and automatically protect its owner. He took it out and kept it by his side just in case.
He glanced at the maps and tokens briefly.
The map is extremely valuable, marking the locations of many dangerous areas, resource points, and suspected ruins on the second level of the abyss.
The purpose of the token is currently unknown, but since it was collected by the Shadow Venerable, it must be something special.
In addition, the map also marked the entrance to the third floor, saving him the trouble of sending his clone to find it.
Finally, Ye Chuyun's gaze fell on the three tightly sealed metal boxes.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chuyun decided to open one of them first.
He chose the smallest-looking box.
After some effort to break through the restrictions on it, the box popped open with a "click".
There was only a palm-sized stone shard inside.
The rough surface and irregular shape of the stone slab suggest that it fell from a larger stone tablet.
Ye Chuyun curiously picked up the stone slab and probed it with her divine sense.
hum!
In an instant, he seemed to see an endless, dark void.
Countless fragments of broken stars and the skeletons of enormous creatures floated in the void.
At the edge of the line of sight, the outline of a colossal, pitch-black tower could be vaguely discerned, emanating a terrifying aura that could bring about the end of all things.
The image flashed by in an instant.
Ye Chuyun groaned and quickly withdrew her divine sense, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
With just a glance, the artistic conception contained in the scene almost shook his already fragile mind.
He looked down at the stone shard in his hand.
At this moment, several ancient characters are slowly emerging on the surface of the stone.
He didn't recognize the characters, but he could clearly see the prompt message that popped up the next second.
[The path to the bottom of the abyss... The eternal prison... Fragments of the key]
The information was incomplete, but the content it revealed shocked Ye Chuyun.
This stone fragment seems to be connected to some earth-shattering secret deep within the abyss.
Ye Chuyun carefully placed the stone fragment back into the box and resealed it.
This thing hides a huge secret, and given his current strength and condition, it's not advisable to delve into it too deeply.
"Let's focus on restoring our strength first; we can deal with other things later."
Ye Chuyun suppressed the turmoil in her heart and reorganized all the items in the Shadow Spirit Lord's storage bag, leaving only the necessary healing pills and the black bone shield by her side.
Then he calmed himself down and devoted himself to healing and recovery.
About an hour later, Ye Chuyun exhaled a long breath and opened her eyes.
His eyes shone brightly, with a hidden nine-colored radiance flowing within them. His aura had not only fully recovered, but was also much more refined than before the great battle.
Ye Chuyun clenched her fist, feeling the surging magical power within her body and her increasingly clear and acute perception of the surrounding elements.
"Indeed, life-or-death battles are the best whetstone." A smile appeared on Ye Chuyun's lips.
Although this battle was extremely dangerous, the gains were equally enormous.
In the past, powerful beings at the Spirit level were beings he needed to be wary of.
But now, despite not yet reaching the Heavenly level, he has single-handedly defeated and killed a true Spirit level being, proving with his own hands that the Spirit level is not invincible.
"Even a Spirit-level being is nothing special."
Of course, Ye Chuyun knew very well that her victory this time was due to a combination of factors, including luck, preparation, trump cards, and her opponent's underestimation of her.
Moreover, judging from the methods of this Shadow Venerable, he seems to be at the bottom among the Spirit-level experts.
If it were a powerful spirit-level expert with superior strength, he would still possess the power to crush him.
"It's time to go out."
Ye Chuyun stood up, waved her hand to remove the simple concealment at the cave entrance, and pushed aside the boulder blocking the entrance.
"Go to the third-floor entrance first."
Based on the information obtained from the map, Ye Chuyun identified the direction and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the marked location.
Along the way, he concealed his aura and tried to avoid areas where Abyss Lords or other trial participants might be present.
Occasionally, he would encounter some ignorant abyssal creatures blocking his way, but he would easily deal with them with a single sword spirit.
Soon Ye Chuyun arrived at a strange area.
The ground here is covered with black stone slabs, and on both sides are towering, pitch-black rock walls. The surface of the rock walls is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting everything below and forming countless overlapping images that dazzle the eye.
This place is like a long corridor.
According to the map, the entrance to the third floor is located at the deepest part of this corridor.
Ye Chuyun became more vigilant and moved quickly along the corridor.
The corridor was unusually quiet, with only his own footsteps echoing between the smooth rock walls.
On the mirror-like rock walls on both sides, countless "Ye Chuyun" figures were also moving forward in sync, their gazes seemingly focused on him, bringing a strange psychological pressure.
