The fall of the Yan family was a hard blow to the Peng family.

Considering that on the surface, Si Yuanpei was the one who led the sect to destroy the Yan family this time, apart from the senior officials of the sect, almost no one knew that Lin Shen was the one who provided the information.

Therefore, the Peng family most likely blamed what had happened on Si Yuanpei.

As Si Yuanpei’s disciple, Xie Jingsheng naturally didn’t receive a warm welcome.

“There are many demons in the spirit cave, and it’s abnormally dangerous. Junior Brother Xie, you have to be careful this time.” Peng Junqin narrowed his eyes.

“Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Peng.” Xie Jingsheng was unmoved and still had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing Xie Jingsheng’s unaffected look, Peng Junqin finally gave up on the verbal confrontation. He snorted and didn’t say anything else.

Xie Jingsheng smiled and led everyone to the side.

“After we enter the spirit cave, all of us will disperse to different places. 1 have some tokens here that have already absorbed a trace of everyone’s aura. With them, we can roughly sense the locations of others so that we can gather together later.”

As he spoke, Xie Jingsheng handed each of them a token and a sheepskin scroll.

“There’s no lack of danger in the spirit cave. Everyone, it’s best to quickly find the others and meet up after entering the spirit cave.

“In addition, this is a map drawn by the sect’s cultivator masters when they explored the spirit cave. There are some particularly dangerous locations marked on it. Try your best to avoid these locations when you’re investigating the spirit cave.”

Everyone nodded.

There were many spiritual monsters in the spirit cave. If one wanted to absorb spiritual essence and cultivate in peace, one had to be lucky enough to find a secluded place without spiritual monsters or have companions guarding them.

This was also one of the reasons why they formed a team to enter the spirit cave. That way, they could take turns guarding one another and cultivate.

Seeing that everyone had understood, Xie Jingsheng didn’t say anything else. He turned to look at the cave in the encirclement and waited for the spirit cave to open.

The eye of the spirit cave would only open once a month. Each time, it would only last for an hour before closing.

If one wanted to open it again, one would have to wait a month.

A moment later, muffled thunder suddenly rang out in the catacomb. Everyone subconsciously looked at the cave eye

At some point in time, a large amount of silver light had already appeared in the dark eye of the cave. It intertwined to form a vortex-like ball of light that slowly sank down.

A warden beside the battlement was glad when he saw this. He raised his voice and said, “It’s time. The spirit cave has opened. Everyone, please hurry up and enter!”

Peng Junqin and his companions reacted the fastest. As soon as the warden finished speaking, they jumped into the hole without any hesitation and disappeared almost the moment they entered.

Seeing this, Xie Jingsheng said, “Let’s go in too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the robe on his body glowed with a faint white light, protecting him. Then, he jumped into the eye of the cave.

The others either activated their robes or circulated their spiritual essence to wrap their bodies. With a bang, they burrowed into the vortex and disappeared.

Not long after, apart from the warden, there was no one else in the catacomb.

Seeing this, Lin Shen didn’t delay. With a thought, his robe immediately flashed with a hazy light. Looking at the rapidly spinning vortex, he took a deep breath and jumped down.

The moment he entered the cave, Lin Shen suddenly felt his body freeze. He felt as if he had fallen into the sea. He was involuntarily carried down by an invisible force and couldn’t break free at all. He could only carefully protect himself with the Heavenly Star Robe.

He didn’t know how long the feeling lasted.

At some point, Lin Shen suddenly felt the invisible force around him intensify, wrapping around him and rushing down.

In the next moment, he felt as if he had broken through a barrier. His body suddenly became light, and the pressure from before completely dissipated. He was free-falling.

Lin Shen hurriedly used the Riding Wind Technique to stabilize himself in midair. Then, he looked around.

He was in a cave that was about 300 to 400 meters wide. It was very spacious.

The stalactites hanging from the dome were like sharp stakes.

In all directions, there were densely packed caves leading to unknown places.

“Is this the interior of the spirit cave? It looks very spacious.”

Lin Shen looked around for a moment and focused on sensing the spiritual energy around him.

“What dense spiritual essence! It’s even better than my courtyard in the upper house!” Lin Shen was secretly amazed.

His courtyard in the upper house was a Profound Cottage-level Cave Abode. The next level would be the Essence Prefecture, which was on the same level as the Nine Yang Academy.

However, the Nine Yang Academy had been modified by cultivator masters. Most of the spiritual essence was concentrated in the wooden buildings of the Teaching Room, the courtyards of the Profound Cottage, or the residence of the tutors.

Apart from those few places, the density of spiritual energy in the other places was only slightly better than in the outside world.

Lin Shen usually stayed in the Nine Yang Academy, so he hadn’t realized the difference.

It was only now that he truly understood how abundant the spiritual energy in the Essence Prefecture was.

Lin Shen tried to circulate the Nine Yang Scripture and instantly felt the rich spiritual essence around him rush into his pores.

In just a short while, he felt his soul strengthen a little.

Lin Shen couldn’t help but be overjoyed. With such abundant spiritual essence, if he could find a secluded place and summon all his clones, he could calm down and cultivate. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to enter the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage in a month.

With this in mind, Lin Shen wasn’t in a hurry to meet up with Xie Jingsheng and the others.

With his clones around, he wasn’t afraid that no one would guard him when he cultivated. He didn’t need to team up with others at all.

In comparison, he was more free on his own.

The only problem was that without Ai Jingting, who was familiar with the spirit cave, he might be caught in an accident.

“However, it won’t be too late to meet them when 1 really encounter such a situation.”

Lin Shen felt that with his current strength, as long as he didn’t encounter a cultivator master-level spirit monster, he didn’t have to worry at all.

Even if there were such demons in the spirit cave, they had long been dealt with by the sect’s cultivator masters who explored the place. Therefore, there was no need to worry.

After calming himself down, Lin Shen took out the map that Xie Jingsheng had given him and looked at it carefully..
