Chu Yang lightly nodded.
Mo Tianji's face turned slightly red with excitement as he said, "Then hurry up and go!" urging him on.
Chu Yang laughed heartily, reassuring Mo Qingwu before moving forward.
The little girl had just gained a great advantage and was happily discussing with Mo Lei Er. Hearing him say to leave temporarily, she didn't turn her head and waved her little hand, indicating: "Go ahead. This young miss has no time for you right now..."
She continued her discussion with Mo Lei Er.
Gu Duxing and the others were also checking their own physical changes, discovering more and more surprising developments.
After obtaining the Dragon and Phoenix Essence, the speed of their internal energy operation had essentially doubled! Moreover, the Dragon and Phoenix Essence also had the effect of automatically improving one's physique.
It's worth noting that a doubling of internal energy operation speed doesn't equate to mere practice; it indicates that as long as your hands and feet can keep up with the speed of cultivation, your striking speed can increase by another fold!
Now everyone was already considered fast; what would it be like if it increased again?
Just thinking about this made the brothers excited to the point of breathlessness.
Chu Yang steadied his mind and walked inside. Passing through the original Dragon and Phoenix standing area, his eyes fixed on a direction, his body slightly tilted as he resolutely moved inward.
As soon as the Dragon and Phoenix Essence was fully absorbed, Chu Yang received a hint from the Sword Spirit.
"Sword Master Lord, I've sensed the aura of the seventh segment of the Nine Calamity Sword!"
Before this, Chu Yang couldn't be sure, but once the Sword Spirit spoke those words, it felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
He turned a corner, and ahead loomed a solid stone wall.
Chu Yang did not hesitate; he reached out and grabbed it, instantly creating a large hole.
Although the protection here was tight and sturdy, it relied on the power of the Dragon and Phoenix; now that the power was gone, the stone wall felt as soft as tofu in front of Chu Yang, given his current cultivation level.
With a single grab, his palm adhered to the stone wall, and as he pulled outward, a large piece measuring around four to five yards was dragged out and placed aside. Following that was the next piece; after several more, a deep hole of several yards had already formed.
Chu Yang dove right in.
He had done this several times before; it felt effortless and familiar. Even a professional miner would find it hard to keep up with him.
Chu Yang continued to dig downward, guided by the Nine Calamity Sword. He faintly sensed that his Nine Calamity Sword was becoming more and more excited, the sword qi swirling faster along the blade, while the Sword Spirit grew increasingly eager...
And beneath this stone wall, there was an undeniable urge to emerge, a repressed emotion that was pulsating...
Chu Yang's hands moved rapidly, tossing out large stones behind him...
Finally, a pleasant sound of flowing water came from below.
At the same time, Chu Yang's left eye suddenly became clear, while his right eye felt dazed; this sensation appeared and then vanished.
Soon, Chu Yang was taken aback.
In the Nine Calamity Space, the Sword Spirit said leisurely, "This is Misty Heavenly Crystal and Evil Illusion Jade Crystal, welcoming your arrival..."
Chu Yang was speechless.
These two great elixirs were welcoming him? This was truly absurd...
"The Evil Illusion Jade Crystal and Misty Heavenly Crystal here, unlike other spiritual medicines," the Sword Spirit continued, "have at least grown for over a hundred thousand years... or even longer, so it's only natural for them to possess some spiritual awareness!"
Chu Yang responded with an "oh" and nodded.
Continuing to dig down three more yards, Chu Yang suddenly felt an emptiness beneath his hands, followed by a rush of moisture that enveloped him. When he looked closely, he was dumbfounded.
Beneath him was actually an underground lake!
