Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 11: Two Mysterious Voices

"Wow."

Hearing what Prince Varog said, even Alu was very surprised.

That energy barrier could actually block even extremely powerful Nirvana stage experts.

Of course, if that only got in the way of a Nirvana stage expert, any Nirvana king would be able to do it easily. However, that was only if they were there personally.

As for the energy barrier covering the cave, it was only a residual strength that had probably long been abandoned. However, not only could it prevent a Nirvana stage expert from passing through, it could actually even kill a Nirvana stage expert head-on.

How strong was someone who could leave such an energy barrier.

ALU thinks maybe only someone who is above Nirvana King can do that.

While Alu was in thought, Prince Varog continued his words.

"There is no doubt that this place has been abandoned by an extremely powerful expert. If this place were to leak, it might even attract the attention of the Holy Light clan. Because of that, our kingdom is trying its best to keep it secret. At this time, almost all of the royal experts had come to this valley just to be on guard. The entire valley had in fact been covered by their strength. My father even invited his best friend who is a spirit master." Said Prince Varog, making everyone's expression even more serious.

When things get really big, locking in information in real life alone is far from enough.

In the cultivation world, there are some people with special abilities who can find information in certain mysterious ways.

In order to prevent such people from discovering something, it is also necessary to lock down information spiritually.

"Now that we're all here, let's explore this place. I don't know what's in there. However, I'm sure there must be something extraordinary that could change the fate of all of us." He added, staring at the dark tunnel in front of them.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment before they nodded.

"Okay, let's go in." Said Prince Varog once again.

After that, they all went back on their way. Behind them, the warriors of the Sacred Wind Kingdom also continued to follow behind them.

....

The cave tunnel was so cold and dark it was as if light had never passed there. Even when they lit a fire to light up the tunnel, it still looked very dark. It looked like the firelight could not illuminate the tunnel.

In order to clearly observe that place, one could only do it with one's soul senses. However, using the soul senses continuously would also consume a lot of one's spiritual energy so they could only use it occasionally.

Alu who was also observing the surroundings began to think about how he would act if a treasure appeared later.

Alu believes he can fight Prince Varog and the young nobles who follow him even if he is alone. But if they were helped by thousands of soldiers, Alu knew that he would be badly defeated.

"Maybe I could ask someone for help." Alu thought as he looked at Roux who was walking behind Princess Reva.

"If he can get what he wants, I'm sure he has no objection to treason." Alu smiled sarcastically.

...

The journey continued, and it was quite a shock to everyone because the cave tunnel was actually really long.

Apart from that, the tunnels also continued to descend below which meant they went further underground.

"Isn't there anything here." Alu wondered because until now he still couldn't feel any danger.

The Sacred Wind Kingdom prepared so many warriors to help them face the monsters that might be hiding in that place. But until now, they didn't even encounter a single small trap.

"There's no way there's nothing here, right?" Alu became increasingly doubtful as the journey grew further.

At this moment, everyone's faces were already showing expressions of doubt.

But their doubts began to dissipate as they found the difference in the tunnel they had been through.

"This place is getting more humid. There's even a little water." People say as they touch the tunnel wall.

They found that the walls around them were actually a little wet.

But their discoveries didn't stop there. Some of the stronger people found that the water droplets in the tunnels were actually quite different from ordinary water.

"These waters contain pure spiritual energy." Alu silently said as he touched a few drops of water.

Pure spiritual energy is the type of energy that is most easily absorbed by a cultivator's body.

Although it did not necessarily increase one's cultivation because in order to increase one's cultivation, a cultivator also needed to increase their comprehension. However, when one's body was filled with energy, one's comprehension ability would usually increase drastically as well, which increased their chance of breakthrough.

Most importantly, absorbing pure spiritual energy can also help increase one's spiritual source. Of course, how much one's spiritual source increased still depended on each person's abilities.

Basically, pure spiritual energy is a rare treasure that is highly sought after in the cultivation world. It's not something anyone can make. Pure spiritual energy can only arise naturally in a certain place after continuous purification of spiritual energy.

....

After the group realized the existence of pure spiritual energy, the group immediately accelerated their journey.

"Come on, hurry up, I'm sure it's very close." Said Prince Varog who led the way.

And not long after, the party finally arrived at the end of the tunnel. And behind the tunnel, they found a sizable crypt.

Since they didn't feel any danger until now, they went straight into the crypt.

Soon they found what was there.

In the crypt there is a lake, and on the side of each lake are two other tunnels that look like rivers.

However, when they saw the lake, the expressions of everyone who had previously looked so excited immediately turned gloomy.

They discovered that the lake in front of them was almost completely dry. There were only a few puddles left in the lake.

What made their expressions even grimmer was the fact that the water in the puddle actually contained pure spiritual energy as well.

Seeing that, everyone could immediately conclude, that lake, before must have been filled with a lot of pure spiritual energy.

But why is it now suddenly empty?

When people thought that, bad feelings immediately filled their hearts.

"Someone's already here."

Almost everyone spoke at the same time.

And right after their words, another unknown voice suddenly sounded in the place.

"He-he-he... Wasn't my plan right, Charlie. Even though we spent the rest of our energy on creating a barrier outside, we managed to get a lot of weak people to come to this place. They are only at the True Spiritual stage, nothing can threaten us." The chuckling sound surprised everyone.

It was a girl's voice that sounded young.

"Indeed your plan has worked, Elly, but I don't feel there is a spirit master among those people. Without a spirit master, we can only remain cooped up in this place." Another voice then answered.

And this time it was a young man's voice.
