Chapter 591: Finding the Cave
"Tell me in detail the levels of cultivation realm." Jingtian asked Zhineng.
"Refining Qi, building foundation, golden elixir, spirit separation, fusion, Mahayana, and overcoming tribulation." Zhineng briefly introduced the realm of cultivation to Jingtian.
"It's similar to what is said in the novel. Could it be that the author of the novel is a cultivator?" Jingtian said in surprise.
"That's impossible. Didn't Aotian say that cultivators became extinct ten thousand years ago? The reason some people still know about them is that they must have obtained some information about cultivators from somewhere. After all, there used to be many cultivators on Earth." Zhineng said.
Jingtian and Zhineng talked about it and finally came to a conclusion that surprised Jingtian a little.
With the revival of spiritual energy, the earth is about to return to the era of cultivation ten thousand years ago. The cave that I have encountered is just the beginning, and more caves may appear one after another in the future!
"Then I have to reach the emperor level before I can be considered to have established my foundation?" Jingtian asked.
"You're right this time." said Zhineng.
"Then... my clone has already established the foundation?" Jingtian asked again.
"In terms of realm, he is, but he doesn't have the true strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage." Zhineng nodded.
"Then...what realm are the spirit beasts like Adu in? And what realm are Aoshui and the others in?" Jingtian asked again.
“Spiritual beasts themselves are not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, so although they are very strong in the early stage, it will be more difficult for them to truly embark on the path of cultivation. They have to transform into human form before they can synchronize their realm with cultivators. In other words… after they transform into human form, they can be considered to be in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Of course, they will be slightly stronger than the Foundation Establishment Stage of the same realm.”
"As for Ao Shui? I was a little confused at first, but I learned about it in detail before. They were all super powerful a long time ago, but their realm has been declining over the years. Now only Ao Shui is in the Jindan stage, and the others are in the late foundation building stage." Zhineng said.
"This... is such a pity. His realm has regressed after tens of thousands of years!" Jingtian felt a little regretful.
"This is normal. Without spiritual energy for them to practice, maintaining their lives would consume their energy. Fortunately, the spiritual energy is now reviving, and their realm will gradually recover." Zhineng said.
Jingtian didn’t want to learn more from Zhineng. He regained consciousness and continued chatting with Aotian.
After a moment, the outline of the island in the distance appeared.
Jiuxiao came back after circling in the air and told Jingtian and everyone else that the island was only about a kilometer in diameter.
"It looks like it has sunk. The island that the Phantom Turtle mentioned is not small. It looks like we have to enter the cave from under the sea again." Intelligence said.
"Can the Phantom Turtle wake up for a moment?" Jingtian asked.
"You can ask it yourself. I feel it is awake. It must have been awake when the measuring stick entered." Zhineng said.
Jingtian nodded, then his consciousness probed into the dimensional space and summoned the Phantom Turtle.
The Phantom Turtle was indeed awake.
"I have told Princess Snow Flower everything I should say. To enter the cave and go deeper, you must be at the king level. I don't know the rest." The Phantom Turtle responded to Jingtian with a little impatience.
"Do you know the existence of cultivators?" Jingtian directly changed the subject and asked.
"I know a little, but not clearly. I haven't really experienced the great era of cultivation ." When the Phantom Turtle heard Jingtian mention cultivation, he seemed to be interested.
"Why don't you come out and help me designate the following location?" Jingtian asked again.
"If you find the island but can't find the cave, then I advise you to just go home." The Phantom Turtle said with a hint of contempt.
Jingtian was slightly annoyed. This guy's attitude was really annoying.
He no longer paid attention to the Phantom Turtle and returned his consciousness to the outside world.
They had already reached the edge of the island, and Jingtian simply put away the cruise ship and the God of War.
The island was full of reefs, and everyone landed directly on the top of the island.
"Boss, there's nothing here, it's all stones." Ah Xing shouted after looking around.
No one paid any attention to Ah Xing, everyone was checking around the island.
"Mr. Jing, there are traces of a cave three hundred meters under the sea." Ao Shui reminded Jingtian after more than ten seconds.
"You found it so quickly?"
Jingtian was just thinking about summoning the God of War again to borrow its control, but Ao Shui had already discovered it.
"Well, although my thoughts only cover five kilometers, it is enough for this. However, there are very powerful restrictions in the cave, and I can't explore in." Ao Shui said.
"You have already reached the Golden Core stage, but you still can't find your way in. Does that mean that the original owner of this place is more powerful than you?" Jingtian asked curiously.
"I am not that powerful now." Ao Shui said frankly.
"You are still weak...then what am I?" Jingtian was speechless and a little shocked.
I didn’t know the realm of cultivation, and I thought Ao Shui was just at the god level.
Now that we know about the golden elixir, the god level is nothing, it is just the middle to late stage of foundation building.
"You have just started. As long as you step into the foundation-building stage and refine the measuring ruler, you will have a smooth journey in the future." Ao Shui said.
Jingtian didn’t understand the meaning of Aoshui’s words very well.
No matter how magical the Measuring Ruler is, it is just a weapon. Jingtian does not think that the Measuring Ruler is more powerful than his Ares.
Ao Shui didn't explain much.
With Ao Shui's guidance, the group went straight into the sea.
Wang Lian, Lan Ya and Xiao Jia cannot avoid water on their own, but Jing Tian has a way.
He took out three of the ninety water-repellent beads he had obtained earlier and gave one to each of the three women.
As soon as they entered the water, the three water-repellent beads directly expanded the sea water. Each water-repellent bead could expand an area with a diameter of 20 meters.
When the three are connected together, the area doubles to 120 meters, which can completely accommodate everyone.
A huge bubble of water sank down along the island.
The location of the cave was only over 300 meters away, and we arrived there in less than half a minute. There was obviously a huge entrance here.
"The Phantom Turtle went in?"
Jingtian was a little skeptical. Even though the entrance of the cave was very large, larger than the entrance of the giants’ settlement, it was only a hundred meters in diameter.
The Phantom Turtle is nearly two hundred meters long.
"The Phantom Turtle was not as big as it is now when it went in. It only grew slowly after benefiting from it." Zhineng explained to Jingtian.
"Everyone please be safe, don't move around randomly, and try to stay together."
Jingtian gave everyone some instructions, then came to Lan Ya and grabbed her little hand.
Lan Ya smiled slightly and did not refuse.
The group entered the cave and found that it was very spacious and very deep.
