C700 Underground Cave
Whether he could become a Saint was no longer a matter of resources, but a person's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, as well as their fortuitous encounters. In fact, the amount of potential they held was much smaller than in the past.
For instance, a genius disciple. He was incomparably intelligent and had extraordinary talent, but in a mission that seemed as if it was an extremely difficult one, he actually encountered a massive change, which ultimately led to his early death.
This didn't mean that he was too stupid, or that his potential was too poor. If one had to blame something, they could only blame their bad luck.
So to a certain extent, luck has surpassed all the other factors involved in becoming a quasi-Saint. This is what people call luck.
"Fate Saint, don't worry. We will definitely obey your orders." Hearing Lu Yang's words, all the royal saints immediately calmed down, revealing expressions of reverence.
"Alright, let's continue with our previous formation." Seeing the actions of these emperors and semi-sage realm cultivators, Lu Yang nodded his head, feeling that they were doing this to his satisfaction.
Following that, they continued to move forward. Along the way, they also encountered some dead life forms, but they were all easily taken care of by Lu Yang and his team.
After about a day, they finally found a relatively decent place to rest. Among them, there were Beast-controlling Master s of the Metal Celestial Tao, or Universe Beasts setting up formations nearby, and there were Beast-controlling Master s of Deep Earth Rune s or Universe Beasts setting up buildings to provide them with rest. There were also Beast-controlling Master s of the Fire Celestial Tao, Raw Wood Rune s and Universe Beasts making food for them.
In this way, a small team quickly began to operate in an orderly manner.
"Destiny Saint, we've killed a total of …" Seeing that the simple houses had been built one after another, the Burning Heaven Half-Saint quickly ordered people to build the resting area for Lu Yang. Although this house was not very tall and magnificent, but it was definitely the most practical house among all the houses.
Especially after the day of adventure had ended, the Burning Heaven Half-Saint hurriedly reported today's achievements to Lu Yang, so that he would know exactly how much they had accomplished today and how many had increased their strength, making it easier for Lu Yang to make some simple adjustments on the second day.
"Very good, today you all did so much under my guidance, it can be said that you all deserve the reputation. How about this, everyone is tired, split the food evenly and let the members of the first group and the third group to rest." Hearing the words of the Burning Heaven Half-Saint, Lu Yang said a few simple sentences before entering into a state of cultivation.
This was not because Lu Yang was being careless, but because he had continuously used the use of the living flesh of death to absorb many Heaven Tao Fragment, and now he felt that he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.
Once a bottleneck appeared, it would mean that Lu Yang had already reached a breakthrough. Once he broke through, his strength would increase by a level, and he would truly become a half-step Saint.
Amongst these four groups, although a majority of them held Lu Yang in high esteem, there were still a few semi-sage realm cultivators who held doubts towards him.
It had to be said that they were the strongest within the group, so their judgement was very unique. They were naturally able to tell that Lu Yang's cultivation level was only up to the Royal Grade Great Perfection, so they had to listen to Lu Yang's orders now, and felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yang had killed the Saint-ranked universe monster and put pressure on them, they would have long been chased away from their current positions by Lu Yang.
This way, even if Lu Yang was any stronger, if he wanted to walk in this desperate forest, there would not be an end to the ten to twenty days.
Of course, after passing through a forest, there would be a truly desperate and perilous place. That was the most dangerous place of all. There were caves everywhere, and there was a chance that something could come out of there.
Reportedly, in this land of despair, what was gathered here were not other things, but the souls of those who had yet to ascend to the heavens.
Some of these souls died unjustly while others were eaten by the other unlucky souls. As these unlucky souls killed each other, the strongest unlucky soul that was born was the Undead Soul, which was also the main reason why they came here.
And because this place was full of ghosts of grievances, the true deathly spot of despair was filled with the coldness. It was filled with the aura of death, and the further one walked into the deathtrap of despair, the colder it became. There were even places that were covered with ice and snow, as if they were the scenes Lu Yang had seen before at the back of Taoist Master Skeleton.
Of course, this was only described in ancient books, so Lu Yang had to personally go there to be able to see what the actual situation looked like.
After a day of rest, they arrived at the second day and sped up again. After almost half a day, they arrived in front of a large underground cave.
This cave was more than ten meters wide, and it stretched all the way to the depths of the earth. The aura of death contained within it was almost ten times, or even dozens of times greater than that of other places.
When he saw this, Lu Yang roughly felt something. If he was not mistaken, inside this cave, there should be at least a thousand or even thousands of Death Crystal.
The biggest use of these Death Crystal could help increase the level of these Beast-controlling Master s or Universe Beasts. Furthermore, the more they had, the greater the chances of them levelling up were.
Of course, if he wanted to obtain such a thing, there was definitely a risk involved, so he had to be even more careful.
Thinking about it here, Lu Yang had already gathered the four groups once again. Following a defensive team, with one in front and one at the back, the two attack teams supported each other, and as the basic formation, he slowly led the team into the underground cave.
Death Crystal s were the main source of food for these dead lifeforms. Even if they ate these dead lifeforms, it was mainly to absorb the Death Crystal s within them. Now that they had enough Death Crystal s, absorbing them would be much easier and a lot of waste would be avoided.
Everyone in the team was thinking the same thing.2
But at the same time, the more filled with Death Crystal s, the more danger there were. They might even encounter danger in their lives.
Therefore, as they continuously moved forward, all the members had completely obeyed Lu Yang's orders, and they gradually progressed step by step.
Just as they entered the middle of the cave, a large amount of dead creatures' excrement appeared in front of them. Some mucus had even formed a large net and appeared near them.
However, at this time, the space around them had already become less than ten meters wide, and now it was a few hundred meters wide. Even if there were a few large sticky nets nearby, they would not delay their journey.
But at this moment, one of the universe monsters with extremely strong hearing made a hand gesture towards them, indicating that he had heard something.
After hearing it for a single breath of time, the universe monster turned its head to look at Lu Yang, revealing a confused expression, and said a little gloomily, "Fate Saint, I feel that there's something we need to move around from the depths of this cave. Furthermore, there's a lot of them, so I think we should set up an array to prevent any unexpected situations."
His voice was full of fear, and he seemed to have sensed some terrifying existence.
As for the other semi-sages who had been following Lu Yang to win the battle recently, the Emperor had an indifferent attitude.
After all, they had been here for so long. Although they had met with some rather troublesome death forms, they were only a minority. Furthermore, under their attacks, they were able to quickly kill them.
