He held the crystal in his hand and brushed off the dust to discover that it was a sparkling stone . As for whether or not it was an immortal root, he was not sure .
Whoosh!
When he took the crystal, the skeleton crumbled into dust at his touch, falling to the floor and scaring Lan Shuiyue again .
"Ming Long, is this an immortal root?" Wu Yu asked tersely .
"Who allowed a little brat like you to call me by name? I just saved your life . Got nothing from it, eh?" Ming Long blinked her shining eyes .
" . . . Almighty Dainty Beauty, is this an immortal root?" Wu Yu found those words hard to mouth, but Ming Long adored it .
"This girl is not in a good mood . I'm feeling to lazy to continue this conversation . Don't disturb me, I'm going to sleep . " She vanished .
"Alright then . . . . "
Wu Yu could not do anything to her . After calling a few more times, he desisted when she did not deign to respond . He put the crystal into his Sumeru Pouch, then started considering another problem: how to get out?
Lan Shuiyue stared at him from the side, resentful . "It's said that all who discover a treasure have a share . You're just grabbing it for yourself?"
Although she did not think that it was an immortal root, anything that could persist until now had to be something special . . . .
"Say another word and I'll cut your tongue out . "
This girl had already caused him considerable trouble, and even tried to kill him . Although that was all behind them now, Wu Yu still detested her . Although they were one man and one woman in the same room, and she was a beauty in her own right, Wu Yu had no stray thoughts .
If he really hooked up with her and could not shrug her off later, that would really be trouble .
An emotional debt was not so easily repaid .
"You! Don't let me get the chance, or I'll make you beg . " Lan Shuiyue hugged .
Wu Yu ignored her . He paced the small chamber, observing . Besides the skeleton, he found nothing in the area .
The stone platform in the middle was just rock with nothing special about it .
Wu Yu tapped the surrounding stones, as well as those above and under . They were indeed solid .
"Since the above passage is sealed, does this means that I'm trapped here with no way out?"

This caused him to worry a little .
After all, being trapped in such a deep place to die was also a fairly horrible thing .
"I came down this passage, only to get sealed here . Unbelievable . Who would have done this?"
Wu Yu was still very calm .
On the other side, Lan Shuiyue was also looking . After she came to the same conclusion, she abruptly sat on the floor and burst into tears again .
"Who would have thought that I, Lan Shuiyue, would be trapped to die in this place! "I . . . . "
She cried in a very miserable way .
"Shut your mouth!"
Wu Yu loathed how noisy she was . His outburst made her stop crying . She shrank in a corner, hugging her knees and weeping . Right before their deaths, she was clearly in no mood to quarrel with Wu Yu .
Wu Yu did not notice .
He was thinking that there might be some mechanism . Once triggered, he could leave the place .
That was why he did not pass up on even an inch of ground . He began to search, knock, and even use his spiritual power to check for any abnormalities .
"If you don't want to die here, come and help . "
Lan Shuiyue was not a bad person, just an arrogant one . And her close shave with death this time would definitely have changed her . In response to Wu Yu's encouragement, she obediently joined him to search for a way to leave .
One man and one woman . Their every heartbeat and breath was amplified in the quiet chamber .
Wu Yu was secretly glad that he had pulled her down; otherwise, being down here alone with no living company would overwhelm him with loneliness .
"Perhaps Master, Senior Sister, and the others have presumed me dead, and are mourning me .
"I must get out . "
Wu Yu continued to struggle hard, unwilling to give up .
"Auntie . . . . Waaa . . . . " After a few days, their search was fruitless . Every inch had been combed . And when Lan Shuiyue thought of Lan Huayi, she squatted down and wailed .

Wu Yu gritted his teeth and began an even more meticulous round of searching .
"Wu Yu, you bullied me in the past, and I made you kneel . And then there were so many fights that made me want to kill you . And then there was so much death around us . I think . . . I don't hate you anymore," Lan Shuiyue suddenly said, looking at Wu Yu .
"Suits me . " Wu Yu nodded . Being able to alleviate their conflict was a good thing . He did not want to have to deal with her bickering on top of being trapped here .
Thinking of their rough kiss, Lan Shuiyue could not muster any hate . An idea suddenly came to her, and she lifted her head to look at Wu Yu . Although she did not say anything, her eyes never left him .
"What are you looking at me for?" With only the two of them around, any look or action on her part did not escape Wu Yu .
"Who's looking at you? Shameless . " Lan Shuiyue hurriedly averted her gaze . In the corner, her skirt was covered in mud, but her beautiful features could not be so easily sullied .
"Turn your head . You're not allowed to peek . I'm going to change clothes," Lan Shuiyue said .
"Even if you wanted to show me, I wouldn't want to look . "
Wu Yu was not thinking of her body at all . He knew that what they had gone through might have raised some goodwill for him, but Wu Yu did not like her . Even in this underground world, he would not cave in .
Tap, tap!
Wu Yu tapped on the walls ceaselessly .
"We're doomed . " Lan Shuiyue was very pessimistic .
"Just stop talking . "
The more pessimistic she got, the more frustrated Wu Yu became . Since he could not find any mechanism to leave, he got angry . He whipped out the Demon Subduing Staff and laid into the surrounding rock .
"If there's no way out, I, Wu Yu, will beat a path out!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The rock crumbled around them .
Lan Shuiyue screamed in fright, retreating to her corner again . She looked at Wu Yu in shock .
After a while, the stone had been battered and fell to Wu Yu's feet .
"There's something here!"

Three of the walls were ordinary stone and crumbled to the Demon Subduing Staff . Logically, if Wu Yu could continuously attack these three walls, then he could bash his way out .
But in such a deep place, they would probably die along the way .
After Wu Yu smashed the surface rock, the last wall was actually black and completely smooth . Evidently, it was man-made, and not a natural thing!
It was like finding a light in the night . Wu Yu went into a frenzy to smash all the rock around it . He realized that the wall was actually a stone plaque buried in the space . There was more ordinary rock behind the stone plaque .
An inky-black stone plaque!
Who knew how long it had been buried in the rock?
"Ah!" It renewed Lan Shuiyue's hopes . But after looking at it for a while, she said dispiritedly, "It's just a stone plaque, not a way out . We're still going to die here . . . . "
Indeed, it was just a stone plaque .
And a stone plaque could not help them leave .
To Wu Yu, anything here that was not ordinary rock represented hope for life . He cleaned the dust off the stone plaque and realized that there were words and diagrams carved densely all over it . There were tens of thousands of words .
Lan Shuiyue crowded in for a look . She was startled . "These look like ancient characters . They're a bit different from modern ones, but still legible . These characters existed at least one yuan ago, which is 120,000 years . This means that the skeleton belonged to some ancient person . . . . "
Her face was filled with wonder .
"I see now . This must be the historical remains of an ancient martial cultivator!" Lan Shuiyue said .
"What do you mean ‘ancient martial cultivator?’"
"You're really ignorant, aren't you? Our Dong Sheng Divine Continent has been around for countless years . Throughout this long passage of history, innumerable martial cultivators have lived . For example, this person . This might be the cave in which he trained . Time might have changed the spirit veins and spiritual qi in this place . The spiritual qi might have been very dense here in the past . He was someone who lived one yuan ago, and therefore should be an ancient martial cultivator," Lan Shuiyue said conceitedly .
In this vast world, there were indeed many cave abodes, only, they were difficult to find . It was said that there were many in the Bipo Mountain Range, although the one they were in was probably unknown even to Feng Xueya .
"What do the words say?" Lan Shuiyue was extremely curious . Leaning against Wu Yu's side, her feminine scent assailed his nostrils . And after being seduced by the fox demon, he looked at Lan Shuiyue differently now as well .
"There is only one dao companion for me . I cannot be influenced by her . " Wu Yu would find someone who could cultivate with him on the path of dao, his equal in progress . He was clear that Lan Shuiyue was not her .
"Go away . Who said you could look?" Wu Yu glared at her .
Lan Shuiyue flared up . "Wu Yu, you're annoying!"
"So what if I am? Want a beating?"
Lan Shuiyue saw that he was serious, and her heart quailed . The goodwill that was building towards Wu Yu vanished in a flash . She raged, "If we leave here, I'll definitely show you . "
Relationship: back to square one .
Wu Yu could not be bothered with her and was immersed in the characters on the stone plaque .
"It's a dao technique . "
After perusing it briefly, Wu Yu was surprised .
Lan Shuiyue was peeking from behind, and exclaimed, "An ancient dao technique?"
Wu Yu looked towards her .
She said, "I remember that ancient dao techniques do not have a very high level restriction . Even the mighty ancient dao techniques can be cultivated in the Qi Condensation Realm . Not like now . We can only learn normal dao techniques . Jindan dao techniques can only be cultivated by those of my aunt's level . "
Wu Yu had not known this .
He continued analyzing it carefully .
"Nascent Yin Yang Single Sword Strike . "
This was the name of the dao technique .
"It's actually a sword dao technique . "
This was a pity . He had just left the sword dao, and to think he would find a sword technique here .
And the immortal root crystal that he had acquired was also in a sword shape .
That skeleton must have once been a sword cultivator .
Wu Yu was not a specialist in sword dao techniques .
"Perhaps if I cultivate this dao technique, I can leave this place?" He was thinking that the ancestor had set it up so that he would reach this place . He would not let him die here, trapped .
"Wait, ‘Yin Yang?’"
He seemed to have hit on something .
