He didn't know how large this space was, but he followed Zhu Huang's instructions for an entire month. What left him incomparably excited was that in this half a month, he had collected a small bottle of spiritual water.
Although it was not much, every little bit he collected meant that he was one step closer to the Dao Body. This made Qin Yu very happy.
The deeper he went, the more puddles there were on the ground. Qin Yu collected almost all of them. Of course, Qin Yu did not collect all of them and left a little behind. Firstly, he did not want to leave any traces on the ground. Secondly, he did not want to arouse the suspicion of the Young Ancestor of the Ancient Blood Demon Sect.
Time passed.
Qin Yu collected more and more Dao Spirit Water in this space, but Qin Yu did not lose his mind because of this. He keenly sensed that he was getting closer and closer to the peak Dao Realm ferocious beast. Almost every once in a while, there would be a thunderous breathing sound in the space.
Fortunately, Qin Yu had the Heaven Concealing Technique. Otherwise, it would have been too late for him to escape.
These painful yet happy days lasted for three months. When a deafening, thunderous breathing sound was heard, the thick fog in the air would be blown in all directions by a gust of wind.
The space in front of him became clear for a short while, and a huge figure that looked like a towering mountain appeared at the end of his line of sight.
A peak Dao Realm ferocious beast!
Qin Yu's heart could not help but beat faster. This was the closest he had ever been to a peak Dao Realm ferocious beast, right?
Eh?
Just as Qin Yu was sizing up this ferocious beast, he suddenly caught a river flowing from the side of this ferocious beast and into the depths.
Before Qin Yu could take a closer look, the thick fog once again occupied the sky in front of him. Unwilling to give up, Qin Yu could only continue to wait for the next breath of the ferocious beast.
"Senior, I've collected less than three bottles now. Is this enough for me to nurture my Dao Body?" Qin Yu asked while waiting. The capacity of this jade bottle was equivalent to five water tanks.
"Far from enough!
Kid, since you're already here, do you dare to take a gamble and hide behind the beast?
That place should be the center of the tomb. There is definitely enough Dao Spirit Water for you to nurture your Dao body. Of course, if you awaken the ferocious beasts, you will definitely die. Furthermore … we do not know what is behind the ferocious beasts, "said Chasing Famine in a low voice.
Qin Yu's expression was extremely solemn as he sank into contemplation and struggle. He needed Dao Spirit Water too much right now. Only Dao Spirit Water could allow him to form his Dao Body. As long as his Dao Body was not formed, he could forget about stepping into the Dao Knocking Realm, let alone entering the Dao Gate.
If this was the outside world, Qin Yu wouldn't be so anxious. But this was the Immortal Martial Secret Realm, and there was only one chance to enter in one's lifetime. Here, the higher one's strength was, the greater the chance of obtaining good fortune.
Hence, if Qin Yu wanted to explore the forbidden grounds of the northern regions of the Immortal Martial Secret Realm, he would have to join the Dao Sect. Only by doing so would he be able to contend against the monstrous geniuses of the Tianxuan Stars.
But …
The prerequisite for all of this was to obtain enough Dao Spirit Water!
However, the risk involved in obtaining enough Dao Spirit Water was too great. If he was not careful, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu took advantage of the time when the ferocious beasts were exhaling to look at the small stream. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Senior, let's go to the small stream first and see how much we can collect!"
Qin Yu only needed to nurture his Dao body. If there was enough Dao Spirit Water in the small stream, then he would definitely not go any deeper.
"Go to the right!" Chasing Famine's voice rang out.
Qin Yu continued to move forward slowly according to Chasing Famine's instructions.
"Patriarch, isn't this Dao Spirit Water too little?
It has been so long, and we haven't even filled a single jade bottle! "
Meng Qiankun frowned and transmitted his voice anxiously. His mission was to collect five jade bottles of Dao Spirit Water. However, he hadn't even collected a single jade bottle. How could this not make him anxious?
The Patriarch in the Blood Demonic Banner also fell into silence. The number of times he had entered this place was already incalculable. Every time, he would be able to collect at least five jade bottles of Dao Spirit Water. However, this time, he had only collected less than one bottle. This caused the Patriarch in the Blood Demonic Banner to fall into deep thought.
"Could it be that someone else has also entered?
Or that the ferocious beasts here have absorbed the Dao Spirit Water? "
Meng Qiankun frowned and asked again. Although he was asking, he also felt that it was impossible. Just the illusion array in the cave alone was not something that ordinary people could pass through.
One had to know that in order to pass through the illusion array, he had suffered a lot and experienced many hardships.
He had also been thrown into the illusion array countless times.
As for the people who came in with him, Meng Qiankun had carefully analyzed them. Although Li Youcai, Bai Longxiang, and Li Qiusi were extraordinary, although the three of them were strong, it would definitely be difficult for them to pass through the illusion array.
Moreover, even if they walked out of the illusion array and the restriction, could it be that they still knew how to use the Five Elements Maze Formation?
Furthermore, Meng Qiankun also noticed that although there was very little Dao Spirit Water in these puddles, there were no traces of humans on the side. Therefore, he felt that it was very likely that the ferocious beasts here had taken the Dao Spirit Water away.
Meng Qiankun wasn't the only one who thought this way. Even the Patriarch in the Blood Demonic Banner was wondering if that top level ferocious beast had taken away the Dao Spirit Water.
After all, even if those monsters broke through the illusion array, it was impossible for them to pass through the Five Elements Maze Formation.
"Take as much as you can!" The Patriarch in the Blood Demonic Banner said.
Meng Qiankun nodded and could only continue to collect.
At the same time.
Qin Yu's entire body trembled as he carefully walked past the huge ferocious beast like a thief. What made Qin Yu extremely helpless was that the path of the Five Elements Maze Killing Array was actually beside this ferocious beast.
In other words, if he wanted to reach the side of the stream, he could only pass by the ferocious beast. However, the thunderous breathing of the ferocious beast caused Qin Yu's blood to boil and he almost spat out blood.
Originally, it was only a distance of less than three thousand feet. Qin Yu spent a full two hours before he circled to the side of the stream behind the ferocious beast. Looking at the huge ferocious beast, Qin Yu licked his lips and took out the jade bottle. He gently squatted down and put the jade bottle into the stream. He slowly collected the Dao Spirit Water in the stream without making any sound.
An hour later, Qin Yu felt a little bitter. Although there was much more Dao Spirit Water in this stream than in those puddles, there were only less than two bottles of Dao Spirit Water in the stream.
In addition to the previous three bottles, he now had five bottles of Dao Spirit Water. However, according to Chasing Famine, he needed at least ten more bottles to nurture his Dao Body.
After putting the jade bottle into his spatial ring, Qin Yu looked into the depths. However, the space was hazy and the visibility was less than 20 meters. He could not see what was behind him at all.
Just as Qin Yu was hesitating whether to go deeper or leave, the space suddenly buzzed. A faint shout came from the distant sky. "Big … Brother … Li?"
What made Qin Yu despair was that Li Qiusi's shout was actually infused with Vital Essence.
Buzz! A buzzing sound suddenly came from the space.
"Go to the right, quick!" Chasing Famine's voice suddenly exploded in Qin Yu's mind.
Li Qiusi's shout not only scared Qin Yu half to death but also scared Meng Qiankun out of his wits. Even the Patriarch in the Blood Demon Banner could not sit still. He shouted angrily through voice transmission, "Go back to the entrance of the cave, quick!"
