BTTH: I have a key to travel to Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Chapter 230: Entering the Cave

As soon as Xiao Tian entered the city, he sensed a subtle vibration from the silver tower on his body. Following the tower's vibration, Xiao Tian's gaze fell upon the only stone tower in the city. In the most prominent place on the island, two figures sat peacefully.

At this moment, the two individuals also looked towards him. One was a black-clad man, and the other was a breathtakingly beautiful woman in white.

"Whoosh!" In a flash, Xiao Tian appeared before the two, speaking calmly, "Hand over the silver towers you possess!"

He knew that these three silver towers were not only the keys to opening the cave but also crucial for locating the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, the man immediately became furious, "Xiao Tian, do you intend to monopolize the Reincarnation Realm cave?"

"Xiao Tian, you've already provoked the Evil Wind Cave, and now you want to anger my Xuantian Temple and Nine Nether Gate?" The woman sneered, "Our three forces all have Revolving Core Realm experts!"

Xiao Tian replied directly, "If you don't hand them over, you'll all die!"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the two were infuriated. They never expected Xiao Tian to be so domineering, relying on his superior strength to rob them of their keys.

"Whoosh!" The woman, without a word, took out her silver tower. Seeing this, the man had no choice but to take out his silver tower as well, though his eyes showed clear reluctance.

"Whoosh!" Xiao Tian grabbed the two silver towers and headed directly towards the Thunder Sea.

"We should follow him!" The surrounding crowd quickly followed him.

The Thunder Sea was filled with lightning. Holding a silver tower, Xiao Tian shielded himself and Mu Lingshan from the surrounding thunder, moving swiftly forward. Behind them, a large crowd cautiously avoided the striking lightning.

After traveling for a long time, Xiao Tian had left the crowd far behind. As he ventured deeper, the black thunderclouds turned into brilliant silver. Ahead of him, a massive bolt of lightning loomed, within which a grand cave was faintly visible.

Xiao Tian took out the three silver towers. Instantly, three dazzling silver beams shot from the towers, striking the massive lightning.

"Buzz!" In an instant, ripples spread from the edge of the previously calm lightning, accompanied by a low, destructive thunder. Then, a beam of light emerged from the lightning's edge, extending rapidly to Xiao Tian's feet.

"Creak!" As the light path extended, a thousand-foot-tall, heavy stone door slowly opened under the illumination of the lightning. Xiao Tian, holding Mu Lingshan's hand, walked towards the stone door.

As he stepped through the door, a terrifying force tried to block his entry. This force was so strong that even ordinary Revolving Core experts would lose the ability to resist. But Xiao Tian, with strength comparable to the Reincarnation Realm, ignored the force entirely.

Inside the stone door, numerous figures made of lightning appeared, each holding a bow made of lightning. On these bows, lightning arrows crackled, ready to fire.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The space twisted as countless lightning arrows, filled with destructive energy, rained down on him.

"Whoosh!" Not wanting to be entangled, Xiao Tian used the Space Ancestral Symbol to hide within the space, moving forward.

Passing through these figures and a light ring, a vast land appeared before Xiao Tian. Here, numerous palace ruins were scattered, and the ground was a dull gray, devoid of any life.

Xiao Tian knew this desolation was due to the attacks of the demonic beings. Moving forward, he arrived at a dilapidated square where nearly a thousand figures sat, all devoid of life.

"Whoosh!" With a wave of his sleeve, Xiao Tian dispelled the figures. Finally, only eighteen mummified corpses remained. In their dantians were black whirlpools filled with sinister energy and dense deathly aura.

"These are death elixirs, compressed under deathly energy, able to help one break through to the Death Profound Realm!" Xiao Tian realized these corpses were similar to the demonic corpses in the Demon Domain. However, the Demon Domain's corpses were Life Profound Realm, while these were Death Profound Realm.

"Boom!" Black flames ignited in the eyes of the eighteen corpses. Evil black fire, mixed with deathly aura, emerged from them, attacking Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian's mind split into eighteen strands of soul energy, extracting the death elixirs from within them. Without their power source, the corpses ceased movement. Using the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Xiao Tian refined the death elixirs before storing the corpses away.

After dealing with the corpses, Xiao Tian and Mu Lingshan moved deeper into the cave. Along the way, they encountered more demonic corpses, all of which met the same fate.

"Xiao Tian, there's movement up ahead," Mu Lingshan pointed out.

Xiao Tian had already sensed it. Approaching, they saw a massive mountain standing between heaven and earth. At the mountain's summit, a thousand-foot-wide silver waterfall roared down, shaking the heavens.

This waterfall was not ordinary water but viscous silver lightning. Below the mountain lay a vast lightning lake, stretching beyond sight.

His eyes fixed on the lake's surface, where a whirlpool appeared, revealing a head-sized lightning orb with a silver heart pulsing inside.

"Xiao Tian, what is that?" Mu Lingshan asked curiously.

"That is a Heart of Thunder," Xiao Tian explained, "Each Heart of Thunder contains extremely pure thunder energy. Consuming it, even a newborn baby could gain a physique no less powerful than the Nirvana Realm."

Storing the Heart of Thunder, Xiao Tian took Mu Lingshan into the depths of the lightning lake. As they descended, more Hearts of Thunder floated up, all of which Xiao Tian collected.

Reaching the bottom, they found a vast trench leading deep underground. Along its sides were numerous stone caves, each housing a figure. These figures, wrapped in thunder energy, had long since lost their vitality. The Hearts of Thunder were their condensed essence.

At the trench's bottom sat a silver figure, about ten feet tall, covered in sinister black runes. Suddenly, its eyes, closed for thousands of years, snapped open.
