Chapter 1400: Chapter 320: Acquiring the Red Sun Qi, the Earth Immortal’s Resurrection

[Earth Immortal Cave]

Chen Jie looked up at the large characters in front of him, hidden behind the mountain climbing vine, Earth Immortal Cave!

Exchanging a glance with Hong Yuan, they confirmed with each other that this was indeed the place.

The Land of the Witch God Inheritance, also the place where the Earth Immortal was sealed and asleep.

The Witch Clan set this place as the Inheritance Land to utilize the power of the Earth Immortal to protect the Witch God Inheritance, keeping it always active.

After each generation of the Witch God passes away, they come here to leave their inheritance.

To await their descendants.

”Let’s go in and take a look.”

Chen Jie said to Hong Yuan, who looked at Chen Jie and nodded. The two then stepped into the cave, but Chen Jie soon backed out to think for a moment. He pulled some mountain climbing vine over to cover the entrance again.

Until he completely covered the ”Earth Immortal Cave” characters and the entrance tightly enough, only then did he feel assured to venture further inside the cave.

By doing this, while it couldn’t completely guarantee the cave wouldn’t be discovered, at the very least it could provide some cover and make it less likely to be easily found, buying some time for themselves.

Time is precious, maybe just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea could completely change the outcome of this situation.

With this in mind, Chen Jie and Hong Yuan entered the cave. Since the way was covered so tightly, the inside of the cave appeared dark. Without much thought, Chen Jie reached out and took out two prepared torches from his storage ring, lighting them with a fire stick.

Hong Yuan was surprised, watching Chen Jie seemingly perform a magic trick by producing two torches.

”Brother Chen, how did you do that?”

Chen Jie replied, ”Hehe, I’ll tell you when there’s a chance. Let’s find the Witch God Inheritance first.”

Hearing this, Hong Yuan said, ”Alright.”

With that said, Chen Jie handed one of the lit torches to Hong Yuan, saying, ”Follow me carefully.”

Hong Yuan: ”Got it, Brother Chen.”

Chen Jie then walked deeper into the cave with the torch in hand. The torch burned normally in the cave, indicating that the oxygen content in the air was sufficient. If the torch couldn’t stay lit, it would be dangerous.

This is like what we often read in tomb-raiding novels about lighting a candle in the southeast corner of a tomb to test the oxygen level. If the candle goes out, it signals an oxygen problem. If you don’t run then, when would you?

Since the torch burned normally, it means the airflow in the cave was normal, suggesting there might be another ventilation outlet in this cave.

Thinking this, Chen Jie continued to move forward, soon passing the initial area, which was quite safe with no dangerous places. However, after walking about thirty meters, Chen Jie saw a stele standing here.

Inscribed were the words [Witch Clan Forbidden Land, Trespassers Will Die!]

Seeing these eight characters, Chen Jie showed no reaction, while Hong Yuan said, ”Why does it feel so filled with the aura of death here?”

Chen Jie was taken aback and looked at Hong Yuan, ”Aura of death?”

Hong Yuan said, ”Yes, a very strong aura of death, can’t you sense it?”

Chen Jie shook his head, ”I don’t feel anything.”

Hong Yuan sniffed and said, ”Brother Chen, can’t you smell something strange in the air?”

Chen Jie lifted his nose and sniffed; indeed, there was a scent in the air, but it wasn’t the stink one would imagine. Instead, it had a certain fragrance, similar to a unique tulip scent.

Chen Jie frowned, feeling something eerie since when is the aura of death fragrant?

He looked at Hong Yuan, ”Hong Yuan, could you be mistaken?”

Hong Yuan immediately replied, ”Impossible, the Witch Clan is naturally sensitive to the aura of death, and this aura is very special!”

Thinking about it, Chen Jie said, ”Whenever something is unusual, there is surely something abnormal. And why does this fragrance seem so familiar?”

Chen Jie frowned again, feeling like he had encountered this fragrance in some book before.

Considering this, Chen Jie looked at Hong Yuan and said, ”Be cautious, keep this in your mouth.”

He handed Hong Yuan a Detoxification Pill.

Chen Jie also took one and started circulating the Chang Chun Skill from the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, before stepping past the stone.

Soon he walked about another twenty meters, presumably reaching the belly of the mountain, and then they saw a stone chamber. Above the stone chamber, a watermelon-sized energy sphere floated in the air.

Inside was a chaotic mix of colors and powers, just approaching it filled one with a mesmerizing force as if possessing this power would elevate one to an unprecedented realm, truly enticing.

Chen Jie exchanged a glance with Hong Yuan and said, ”This should be the inheritance of your Witch Clan’s Witch God, right?”

Hong Yuan said, ”It should be, it’s beautiful.”

Chen Jie commented, ”Yes, it feels like I can see the cultivation paths of your Witch Clan’s ancestors within it.”

Hearing this, Hong Yuan didn’t respond, instead staring at the inheritance energy sphere in a daze, her gaze gradually becoming vacant.

Suddenly, she exclaimed, ”Ah, Gongsun Boqing, don’t harm my third uncle, I’ll fight you!”

Saying this, she unexpectedly struck a sword towards Chen Jie. Stunned, Chen Jie quickly dodged, but Hong Yuan seemed crazed, wildly slashing her sword at Chen Jie.

”Die!”

”Gongsun Boqing, you monster, I’ll kill you!”

”Ah!”

Hong Yuan acted madly, and Chen Jie, seeing this, felt confused. Looking at Hong Yuan’s eyes, he noticed they were vacant, unresponsive, as if she was under some illusion technique.
