"Someone…" Silence fell, and only then did Yan start to speak.
"There's no better Feng Shui position on the Belly Mountain," Wu Jinlan stopped counting on his fingers and suddenly said.
I looked at Wu Jinluan, and everyone else's attention was on him.
"Perhaps only Wuling stayed here, and he was somewhere else?" Tang wu pondered.
The faces of the remaining true elder were expressions of cold severity.
"He has put down his original body, and it is certain that he will not go too far away. He will not separate his hidden residence from his seclusion place too far away, otherwise, many things would be difficult to control, and there would be unexpected changes." Wu Jinluan shook his head.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on those spring eyes.
"This place is the core of the Belly Mountain, where the mother's cave and the acupoint are located. The vital energy in the mountains heralds the Qi of the fetal spirit. The fetal spirit represents something new. Although this is only an omen, when certain things reach a certain degree, the significance of the omen outweighs that of many things themselves."
"His soul out of the yin spirit, reaches the limit of the world, and going one step further is to leave the yang spirit, which means transcendence. He will not choose transcendence. He may not be able to bear it. Even if he takes a step back, his original physical form has been destroyed. Even if he wants to, he has lost the opportunity and possibility."
"He chose to form a new body with a corpse that ascends to the yang spirit...which is not less than rebirth."
"Therefore... the navel of the Belly Mountain, the belly of the mountain's fetus, nurturing one's body within the mountain's belly?"
Wu Jinluan's words come from another angle to analyze where Wuling Master is.
His last sentence was already a guess.
Suddenly, Wu Jinluan walked towards the grand mansion.
Numerous true elders followed him, walking towards the direction of the mansion together.
Under the sky, where is there a complete egg? The grand mansion was almost reduced to ashes and ruins, leaving only broken walls.
At this moment, everyone's focus is on Wu Jinluan. With such a level of protection, even if anything unexpected happens, Wu Jinluan would not be hurt in the least.
After passing through those charred areas, they arrived at the central part of the mansion, where there was still another spring eye.
Strangely enough, the mansion was destroyed, and most of the spring eyes outside were affected and destroyed. This one remained unharmed, with steam rising.
"Without any surprises, this spring eye is the core of the Feng Shui of the entire Belly Mountain, the belly of the mountain's fetus. From this place, we should be able to find him," Wu Jinluan said firmly and decisively.
"I will come," Tang Wu opened his mouth again.
The others nodded slightly.
Under such circumstances, there's no need for a contest over who leads the charge. It doesn't matter who goes first, as everyone will undoubtedly act together.
"There will be a problem," Wu Jinluan narrowed his eyes and added again.
"Wu Sir, you can say whatever you like." He Worry Tian made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he should continue explaining.
"The previous commotion was too loud. It's not the fault of Master Luo. Wuling is indeed difficult to deal with; without the thunderous approach, it would have been hard to handle him. There's a chance he might have escaped."
"However, under such a commotion, there are several possible outcomes. First, his teacher has completed the borrowing of a corpse to return to life, and replaced the body of the yang spirit. But Wuling is very cautious and does not want to engage in a direct fight. Therefore, he is hiding in the area below and if we go in, we might be decapitated. Furthermore, he is waiting for us to come so that there will be no thunderous activity in the mountains. By then, his abilities will be at a more normal level, making us passive."
Wu Jinluan's analysis is not without reason.
"Secondly, he has not yet completed the critical step. If we go in, we can directly claim his body and extinguish his soul - that would be the best outcome."
"There is also a third possibility that he has already been trying to escape from another direction and will return in full force in the future."
As soon as Wu Jinluan finished speaking, Tang Wu plunged into the water with a splash.
"Today, he will not get away. Wuling's matter is the matter of the Four Regulations Mountain. He is the matter of all the schools of Taoism!" Liu Zhenqi's words fell with force.
Risk, Wu Jinluan has said, Tang Wu still has to bear it, the rest of the true elders are no less capable.
The sound of splashing, they all jumped into the spring eye.
The spring eye appeared not to be very large, and after they sank down, almost no shadows or ripples were visible.
Wu Jinluan took a deep breath, without hesitation, he too jumped into the pond and swam downwards.
Si Yan followed suit, and Jinluan and Shenxiu did not lag behind.
As the last one to enter the spring eye, I could barely see their faint silhouettes.
After swimming downstream for a while, I realized that this was more like a pipeline, bending at about four or five meters deep.
After improving physical strength, the duration of holding one's breath is no longer comparable to before.
However, there was not much further below, about tens of meters later, I passed a location where hot air rose from the bottom up. I glanced down and saw that water columns were gushing from several rocks. That was the source of the spring. Below that, there was a white hole. As I approached it, I found that this hole was similar to the deep pool in Yun Duoshan in its ingeniousness. It was sealed with Tai Zhi (a mythical creature representing earth).
After crawling through the Tai Zhi, I found myself in a narrow passage, where everyone was waiting for me, as if they were expecting me.
The source of light was from the lamps on the passage, which were very strange. They were all bronze head-like lamps, about the size of a fist, made in a special way, with their mouths facing up and their tongues like the wick.
Although they were bronze, the shape was still recognizable as that of a fetus's head.
The air was filled with a special oil smell, which was corpse oil, but it didn't smell bad. Instead, there was a strange fragrance that refreshed and invigorated the mind.
When this feeling arose, a sense of guilt suddenly surged up in my heart.
There was a sensation of distortion in my vision. The lamps hanging on the walls, which were clearly bronze, had become babies hanging on nails. They were constantly struggling and twisting, covered in greasy and sticky substances. The dripping sounds were their bodies oozing oil.
Calm down, the confusion disappeared.
I found that most people's expressions were not very pleasant. Wu Jinluan's body was trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot and terrifying.
"This is using infants to refine oil, using fetal oil to light lamps. He really knows how to 'take care of his health,'" Wu Jinluan said through clenched teeth.
Then, Wu Jinluan led the way forward.
The passage was crooked, about seven or eight meters long, and then there was a door.
The door was entirely white, made of white marble.
Wu Jinluan was going to push the door open, but Tang Wu's actions were faster, directly opening the door.
In that moment, the air was filled with a thick, fragrant aroma, which had an even stronger refreshing effect on the mind. However, the nausea was several times worse.
At first, the ear was quiet, but then the sound of crying began to be heard, layer upon layer, endless.
What I saw was a large, hollow cave, even wider than the cave above Da Hong's refining area.
The temperature was very high, with a strong feeling of dryness and heat, especially on the ground, which felt hot underfoot.
"There is geothermal heat, which is why there is a hot spring outside," Wu Jinluan explained.
The next instant, he gave a muffled groan and clutched his chest tightly.
The scene that came into view even made my scalp tingle, even though I am seeing it now.
