Chapter 380: Chapter 267: There’s Another Thing_2

On this side, there were no visible forests, only a cave wall far in the distance that one could see. It would take days to reach it, but everyone in the group was in high spirits. As they chatted and joked along the way, they needed to find the tunnels.

While walking, Deng Wu was searching for a very important storage stone, which held all of his inscriptions.

Deng Wu had ventured onto the path of a Necromancer, a road deeply unpopular due to the sheer number of deaths caused by such a cultivator. Necromancy would inevitably follow a Necromancer wherever they went, and at the moment, Deng Wu was using a new inscription that allowed him to transfer longevity from one person to another.

Deng Wu was a genius when it came to crafting inscriptions. If not for his brilliance, it would be almost impossible for him to injure—let alone kill—a King-level cultivator.

Indeed, the power Deng Wu wielded did not entirely belong to him; it was Little Dragon’s. However, without Deng Wu, Little Dragon would never have had the ability to unleash its energy, for Deng Wu hadn’t created the synchronizing inscription.

After receiving power from his cultivation base, Little Dragon infused Deng Wu’s body with Dragon Qi—a Qi that continued to grow in strength thanks to Yan Xiaobao’s gift of the Dragon Shengxiao cultivation technique. The amplification of Dragon Qi enabled Deng Wu to craft an inscription granting Little Dragon the ability to channel a surge of energy to Deng Wu. This inscription allowed the dark-haired man to release the energy of an Emperor-level Divine Beast in mesmerizing beams of light.

When sealed within the hairpin, Little Dragon was akin to Lan Feng. They had only their cultivation base left behind as they found no method to increase their power due to the lack of bodies capable of refining energy.

Little Dragon brought Deng Wu some cultivation foundations and unleashed a surge of power in defiance of his father, forcing Little Dragon into the Emperor-level.

Sacrificing one’s cultivation base is something cultivators only resort to when there is no other way to win the battle. Though it is possible to restore it, it requires immense effort to complete the refining process anew.

This was yet another reason why so few dared to become Necromancers. While the control over life and the appeal of commanding the undead were tempting, the incessant sacrifices of one’s cultivation base were a heavy price to pay.

Looking at Deng Wu from behind, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but let out a sorrowful smile. He knew Deng Wu had chosen this path because it made him strong. Deng Wu was acutely aware of the power he possessed now, as well as the strength he would need to survive in the future.

As a Metal Affinity user, those who practiced necromancy were the strongest by far, but Gemstone Masters weren’t to be looked down upon, even if they weren’t ranked first.

As a Metal Affinity cultivator himself, Yan Xiaobao understood the various paths available to him because of his affinity, yet he regretted that he hadn’t spent enough time thoroughly exploring them.

Yan Xiaobao gazed at Wang Julong. She and Deng Wu had taken completely different roads, as Wang Julong specialized in healing. Her combat prowess was somewhat lower than the others, but Yan Xiaobao truly valued her during this journey. Healers were always indispensable assets.

While Yan Xiaobao assessed the strength of his team, he felt deep satisfaction within. On his own, he might be no weakling, but alongside his friends, he was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with—without even relying on Lan Feng.

Their trek across the fields had taken an entire day, once again drawing the farmers’ attention. Unlike last time, however, everyone seemed to know exactly who Yan Xiaobao was, and none dared follow him; they all assumed he was heading home.

When they reached the cave wall, Yan Xiaobao let out an astonished whistle. The wall was intricately carved and had been smoothed over years of erosion.

Yan Xiaobao had expected these tunnels to be difficult to locate, or at least similar to the ones they had come across earlier, but instead, what he saw was a towering gate guarded by two sentries. He was taken aback.

The gate was immense, made of heavy wood, and it could not be opened unless the cultivator had considerable strength.

Around the gate, there was nothing but fields. Although Yan Xiaobao had initially planned to camp outside and await the Dragon Army, he quickly realized this would be impossible. Any hostile actions would be immediately noticed, and the villagers who observed them would most likely report it to the City Lord.

While pondering, Yan Xiaobao gritted his teeth and made a swift decision. The four of them would enter the tunnels and see what lay within.

"Let’s go in," he said, noticing the three smiles from the faces beside him, who all nodded in unison.

Turning to the guards, who bore pale expressions, they all knew this was a group claiming to have emerged from the tunnels—but they knew better. No one had left the tunnels since the Dragon Army last ventured here, yet they dared not discuss these matters with the mysterious cultivators before them. Their power was simply too intense.

The two guards nodded to each other and began opening the heavy wooden door. As it creaked open, sounds of strained wood echoed, dust fell from the top, and even the ground within the cave trembled due to the sheer weight of the gate.

In the fields, the farmers froze in their tracks, staring at the distant open gate. Yan Xiaobao could feel their watchful gazes, but he soon forgot all about them, for an immense surge of Heaven and Earth Essence, along with Earth Essence, flooded out from the opening. It was so dense that Yan Xiaobao almost felt as though he was walking underwater, a smile creeping across his face.
