While waiting for Xu Changge, Su Bai wasn't always Cultivating.
She also researched minor Spells.
For example, she combined Yu Ling Flying Sword with Five Elements Spells.
The Flying Sword, Transmogrification from Spiritual Qi, could then carry Five Elements attacks.
This made Su Bai's attack methods more complex.
Looking at the Spirit Sword flying freely in the Immortal Cave, Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
This new idea was pretty good.
"Xiao Qing, go chase the Yu Ling Flying Sword."
Su Bai patted her Spirit Beast Bag and released Xiao Qing.
After Xiao Qing broke through to Rank 2 Spirit Beast and began to Cultivate the Spiritual Beast Symbiotic Art with Su Bai, she also Awakened many Lifebound Talents.
During the Qi Refinement Stage, she had already Awakened two attack methods: poison and lightning, and her body size had been continuously growing.
After breaking through to Rank 2, she could freely control her body to become larger or smaller.
When small, she was like a chopstick; when large, she was already bigger than the Dragon King Su Bai had seen in the swamp back then.
At this moment, Xiao Qing's body size was like a chopstick.
Under Su Bai's command, a streak of green light quickly chased the Yu Ling Flying Sword.
However, Xiao Qing's strength was not as good as Su Bai's after all.
She chased for a long time but couldn't catch up.
She could only stick out her tongue in dissatisfaction, shaking her head and acting spoiled towards Su Bai.
She wanted Su Bai to slow down.
Seeing Xiao Qing rolling on the ground, Su Bai chuckled twice.
She squatted down and held out her hand, letting Xiao Qing crawl onto her palm.
She watched Xiao Qing stretch her head, constantly rubbing against her fingers.
"You, you're all dirty after rolling around, and you still have the nerve to rub against me."
She poked Xiao Qing's head with her finger, feeling a little displeased.
Xiao Qing just looked at Su Bai with wide eyes.
Then the entire snake suddenly went limp.
She flipped over, belly up.
Seeing this, Su Bai unceremoniously extended her One-Yang Finger and vigorously rubbed back and forth.
"Hmph! Today, I'll use you as a rag!"
Su Bai had an arrogant and cool expression, quite disdainful of Xiao Qing's tactics.
This little fellow loved to act spoiled after gaining a bit of intelligence.
Su Bai didn't indulge her at all.
I am the master!
While Su Bai was Cultivating and teasing her Spirit Beast, Xu Changge was flipping through ancient texts for a full month on the other side.
When Xu Changge returned, she was frowning and rubbing her temples.
Su Bai noticed Xu Changge's return and walked out of her Immortal Cave.
She saw Xu Changge's thoughtful expression.
This made Su Bai couldn't help but ask, "What? No relevant clues?"
Xu Changge shook her head.
"No, I found a little bit, but the time recorded in the ancient texts is a bit old."
"According to the ancient texts, this sea area has no Sects or large Families, after all, there are no High Grade Spiritual Veins here, and powerful Cultivators would not choose this place."
"However, about five thousand years ago, a Cultivator emerged from here. That person was a pirate by origin, fierce in his actions. After many years of adventuring, he went to the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. When he returned, it was two thousand years later, and his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Initial Stage."
"But after he returned, he did not choose to join any Sect or establish a Family, but disappeared directly. Some speculate that he might have died due to his Lifespan running out."
"According to relevant records, the last place others witnessed him was here, his birthplace."
According to Xu Changge, the Secret Realm that appeared was very likely a tomb built by that Nascent Soul Cultivator for himself.
Then it was even more impossible to explore.
No one knew the dangers within a Nascent Soul Cultivator's tomb.
Even Cultivators of the same Rank would probably not dare to explore rashly.
Su Bai frowned and thought for a moment.
"This Secret Realm is not easy to enter. No one knows what the other party left in their tomb, and this person was also a pirate by origin."
"They were not a benevolent person."
Xu Changge agreed with Su Bai's words.
She also felt that the Secret Realm was not a good place.
If that Secret Realm was an uninhabited Secret Realm, it would at most have some Yao Beasts guarding it, and the Yao Beasts' cultivation would not be too high.
After all, Spiritual Qi in a Secret Realm is limited, unless there is a very High Grade Spiritual Vein.
Otherwise, the threat level of Yao Beasts is limited.
The most dangerous things are some rare flowers and plants; one might accidentally fall victim to them.
As long as one is careful, various Spirit Medicines and Materials can be taken at will.
Now that they knew the Secret Realm was a Nascent Soul Cultivator's tomb, they had to reconsider.
Although three thousand years had passed, times had changed.
There were only scattered records about that Nascent Soul Cultivator.
After all, that great Cultivator was active elsewhere, on the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
They didn't know what methods the other party had.
But the worst case scenario would be the traps and mechanisms left by the great Cultivator.
There might be poison, or Puppets left behind.
Although so much time had passed, both the Formations and Puppets had suffered wear and tear.
Their power was greatly diminished from before.
Even the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Qi used to drive the Puppets might have been exhausted.
But what if?
The tomb of a great Cultivator would not lack guardian objects.
Some great Cultivators would even re-refine their Lifebound Treasure before their demise, allowing it to guard them.
Once an intruder trespassed, they might face the Peak strike of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Finally, Su Bai and Changge discussed it.
The two decided not to go.
They would leave this Opportunity for others.
Xu Changge could slowly gain seniority within the Sect to obtain the Cultivation resources she needed.
She also had Family help.
Although Core Formation resources always sold for extremely high prices when they appeared at auctions, the resources accumulated by the Xu Family, if taken slowly, could still buy one or two items.
The most important thing was that Xu Changge's High Grade Spiritual Root would provide a slight bit of help when breaking through to Core Formation.
This small amount of help was enough for the Xu Family to save a large amount of Family resources.
"Alas, a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Secret Realm, I really want to see it," Xu Changge said with some regret.
If they were lucky, after the opponent's Lifebound Treasure completely exerted its last power and exhausted its Spiritual Qi, they might even obtain a decent Magic Treasure embryo.
Of course, this was just a thought.
After all, a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Lifebound Treasure had been nurtured for at least a thousand years.
Its power was not ordinary.
And if that great Cultivator was ruthless enough, they might have left a Restriction that would cause the Lifebound Treasure to self-destruct, which would make even Cultivators of the same Rank retreat three paces.
No one wanted to encounter a self-destructing Lifebound Treasure.
It was possible for that great Cultivator, whose Lifespan had run out, to do so.
After all, the other party had neither a Sect nor a Family.
They had no worries after death.
It was not impossible for them to take out the tomb robbers who disturbed their peaceful rest in their future tomb.
"A Nascent Soul Cultivator's Secret Realm is not that easy to explore, after all, this is already on the same Rank as a Sect's Old Ancestor."
Even the Six Major Sects themselves only had two or three Nascent Soul Old Ancestors.
