C423 The Canyon That Was Covered in Ice
The bottom of the ice layer was actually empty. This really surprised Lin Cheng.
But what made him even more shocked was that his spiritual sense was unable to penetrate the layer of ice underneath. Only his Divine Sense could penetrate the layer of ice and detect the abnormalities below.
One should know that even the hard rocks, and even the thick layer of soil... As long as it was not in some special places, such as formations... Or some special terrain or other places, there was almost nothing that could stop the cultivator's spiritual sense.
The layer of ice here had only become extremely hard because it had been under the attack of the strong wind for a long time. Putting this aside, the layer of ice here was almost the same as the layer of ice in the outside world. At least, according to the results of Lin Cheng's investigation, there was not much difference!
If that was the case, how could the ice here not penetrate the spiritual sense?
Lin Cheng released the Consciousness Probing again. After a moment, his expression became somewhat strange.
Because he discovered that with the range of his Divine Sense, there was no way for him to reach the bottom. He could only find that the bottom of the layer of ice was empty, but he couldn't find out how deep it was.
More importantly, even if he used his Divine Sense to probe further, he still couldn't find out how big the area of the ice layer was!
His Divine Sense could detect several hundred meters of distance. This also meant that if the ice layer in the air was a large hole, then the size of the hole had already exceeded the range of his Divine Sense.
After pondering for a moment, he retracted his Divine Sense and probed the spiritual sense. Compared to Divine Sense, the range of his spiritual senses's detection was much larger. Within a few miles, he could easily investigate.
Not long after, Lin Cheng's expression changed slightly. After that, he immediately moved forward and disappeared into the cold fog.
When he returned to his original position, it had been nearly an hour.
He put away the spiritual sense and looked ahead in a daze.
The result of this investigation made him sigh softly, as if he wanted to spit out the shock in his heart.
His spiritual sense could not detect any abnormalities in the ice layer, but under his careful inspection, he acutely discovered the subtle changes in the spirit energy within the cold fog above the ice layer.
He discovered that the spiritual energy above the floating ice layer had some changes compared to the spiritual energy in other places. The spiritual energy here was denser, but it was also more violent than in other places.
However, because his spiritual sense was unable to detect any abnormalities in the layer of ice, he walked over and cooperated with his Divine Sense to investigate. However, the result shocked him.
Under his investigation, the ice layer that was suspended in the air was long and narrow, and it was unknown how many miles long it was. He could not see the end of the two ends, but the width was enough for him to walk to the other side of the ice layer.
It was three to four miles wide!
If the bottom of the ice was deep enough, then this was simply a small canyon!
But the problem was that it was on top of the mountain!
"A cliff!"
Lin Cheng couldn't help but whisper to himself. It was as if someone had cut open the mountain from the top of the snow mountain, forming a huge canyon, or a cliff abyss!
The reason why he was floating in the ice layer and walking to the other side of the canyon was to investigate carefully.
In the end, he found that the two sides of the canyon were originally one, and the concave sides of the cliff were almost exactly the same!
Lin Cheng immediately understood. The mountains on both sides of the canyon. They originally belonged to the same mountain, but because they had received some kind of incredible power. It was only because of this that they separated. It was just as he had guessed. Perhaps it was because of the intense battle between the Most Powerful Person of Ancient Times that caused the mountain to crack open.
Of course, there was also a possibility that the mountains on both sides of the canyon were not completely separated. There was only a crack in the middle of the canyon. Perhaps at the end of the canyon, the two sides had merged into one.
However, at least this canyon in front of Lin Cheng did exist. Furthermore, it was covered by an incomparably hard ice layer.
Lin Cheng guessed that perhaps it was because this place was extremely cold and had been here for a long time. Snow kept falling and forming ice layers, extending from both ends of the abyss to the middle. Finally, the layer of ice closed up, forming a complete layer of ice. It covered the abyss.
Such a huge canyon could not be seen from the surface at all. Even with the spiritual sense, apart from the slight differences between the spiritual energy above and the other areas, there was nothing unusual about it.
Lin Cheng could not help but wonder if Expert Feng had discovered this canyon.
This man was a Divine Ability Stage warrior, and his spiritual sense was definitely much stronger than an Incarnation Stage warrior's. Even if this man didn't have Divine Sense, he could still detect the changes in the spiritual energy if he examined it carefully.
It was that Expert Feng could tell that this valley wasn't a threat, so he didn't say anything in order to avoid causing panic among the others.
Or, could it be that this man had other thoughts?
Then, what about the Tong Chenen who came here to investigate? Did he also discover this canyon?
Lin Cheng had no way of knowing the answers to these questions, so these questions only flashed across his mind, and he didn't think about them anymore. What he was thinking now was, what exactly was in this canyon?
"Unfortunately, the distance that my Divine Sense can detect is too short. If it was like the spiritual sense, perhaps I would be able to find out what's underneath."
Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head with regret. His Divine Sense was indeed incomparably powerful. However, his Divine Sense was still too weak. The distance between them was too short. He could only use his Divine Sense at the critical moment.
"It's a little too greedy."
Lin Cheng suddenly burst into laughter. Being able to possess Divine Sense was already a great fortune and fortune. Furthermore, Divine Sense was slowly strengthening. It seemed like he was not satisfied with the amount of Divine Sense he had.
Very quickly, Lin Cheng cast these distracting thoughts aside and turned to look at the floating ice layer. His eyes seemed to have passed through the ice layer and saw the canyon below.
"Perhaps I can break through the ice layer and take a look at the canyon below?"
Lin Cheng thought about it in his heart, but then he shook his head. He still had the Transmission Jade Chip of the Unification Sect on him. If he went down recklessly, he might attract the attention of the Unification Sect.
Besides, the other cultivator were nearby, not too far away. Although this place was filled with cold fog, the strength of these people wasn't weak.
With Lin Cheng's Cultivation Level, he wanted to break through the ice layer and enter the canyon without alerting them. This might not be difficult, but if there really were treasures left behind by the Most Powerful Person of Ancient Times below... Once there was any movement, he would try to hide it from those people. It would not be that easy!
Lin Cheng quietly left the ice layer that was suspended in the air.
Since the spiritual sense couldn't penetrate the hard ice layer, it meant that no matter if it was the people of Unification Sect or those rogue cultivators, they wouldn't find out that the ice layer was empty.
If he broke through the ice layer and entered the canyon below, it would only alert those people. Lin Cheng decided to wait until these people left and explore the snow mountain before returning here to explore the canyon below.
When he returned to the place where the group had separated, Lin Cheng found that the others had already disappeared. There was still a vast expanse of whiteness around them, and there was no movement at all. It was dead silent.
He immediately became alert. He carefully released the spiritual sense to investigate. A moment later, he found a figure in the distance. It was a rogue cultivator from the Unification Sect.
Lin Cheng walked over without batting an eyelid. He found that the person seemed to be looking around aimlessly. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It seemed like he didn't find anything here.
After that, Lin Cheng continued to walk forward and finally found Qiu Hai.
He noticed that Qiu Hai was digging on the ground with a short sword. As he kept attacking, ice chips flew everywhere on the ground.
Lin Cheng could not help but be stunned. Could there be something buried under the ice?
Although he was very curious, Lin Cheng did not go over immediately. If there was really a treasure there, it would easily arouse Qiu Hai's vigilance and disgust if he walked over now. He might even be attacked by Qiu Hai.
Not only did Lin Cheng not go there, he even left a certain distance to avoid getting misunderstood by Qiu Hai.
After a long while, when there was no more sound coming from Qiu Hai's side, Lin Cheng slowly approached. Soon, he saw Qiu Hai standing next to an ice cave, shaking his head, as if he didn't find anything.
"Fellow Taoist Qiu!"
Lin Cheng walked over, cupped his fists and said, "Don't you know what Fellow Taoist Qiu found?"
"So it's Fellow Taoist Lin!"
When Qiu Hai saw that it was Lin Cheng, a strange look flashed across his eyes. He shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything. I found that there was something unusual about the spiritual Qi here. But this mountain is covered with thick layers of ice. I guessed it. There might be something underneath this layer of ice, but the result was nothing "0
Lin Cheng suddenly understood. He had also noticed that the Spiritual Qi here was more violent than other places, but it was not too obvious. Qiu Hai had noticed that this person's spiritual sense was very powerful.
When combined with the fact that Qiu Hai was able to detect the unusual activity within the Transmission Jade Chip, Lin Cheng realized that Qiu Hai's spiritual sense was likely far more powerful than an ordinary cultivator.
"Fellow Taoist Qiu, I have a presumptuous request."
Lin Cheng didn't beat around the bush and said, "I don't think Fellow Taoist Qiu likes the Transmission Jade Chip of Unification Sect. Is there a problem with it?"
Qiu Hai was startled, but he did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Why would Fellow Taoist Lin ask such a question?"
Lin Cheng used the spiritual sense to transmit his voice and said, "Fellow Taoist Qiu, the Transmission Jade Chip of Unification Sect seems to be able to monitor us. I believe that Fellow Taoist Qiu must have noticed it as well. If possible... I want to know how to prevent the Transmission Jade Chip from monitoring me! "
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in Qiu Hai's eyes. Lin Cheng's confident tone made him realize that Lin Cheng was definitely not making random guesses. He had really discovered the problem with the Transmission Jade Chip and even his understanding of it.
"Fellow Taoist Lin, how did you know?"
Qiu Hai couldn't help but ask.
