Everyone in Mountguard Sect, no, the entire system knew of this cave - the area where their progenitor searched for the dao and where he reincarnated after a cycle.
Prior to this, Jiahui considered this place to be a legend, a place she could never visit. Today, this legendary location lay before her, causing her to palpitate.
She regained her composure and slowly carried Li Qiye towards the cave.
“Pop!” A powerful force greeted her the moment she made it to the entrance, causing her to go flying and cras.h.i.+ng into the ground.
Light suddenly emerged from the dark cave. These faint barriers seemed to have numerous grand dao circling around them.
Though they were faint, the barriers seemed to be the toughest things in existence. Nothing could ever penetrate them.
Jiahui realized that there was a seal here, meaning that not everyone had permission to enter.
She didn’t know what to do for she lacks the strength to break it. No one in her sect could either.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her, Li Qiye’s hand.
He touched the barrier, resulting in pulsing ripples. His hand exuded numerous runes that eventually fuse with the barrier.
“Pop!” A noise similar to a balloon popping came about and the barrier disappeared.
“Young n.o.ble!” Jiahui was ecstatic to see him up because he has been slumbering the whole time.
Li Qiye didn’t open his eyes nor answer. He withdrew his palm and went back to before.
Jiahui was used to this state of his and carried him inside the cave. She was stunned after entering, thinking that this was the wrong place.
The famous Immortal Demon Grotto looked just like an ordinary cave. There was no immortal energy and pulsing divine light, no merit laws carved all over the walls either. A cave similar to this one could be found everywhere in Mountguard.
Disciples of the sect would never believe that this was the legendary cave of their progenitor because of its unimpressive appearance.
She calmed down and looked around only to see a person sitting in the corner. She became startled and took one step back.
It was an old man sitting in a meditative pose. He wore a shabby robe and had no other ornaments.
He had a stalwart stature - just him sitting there gave a mighty feeling like that of a great mountain.
His beard draped down his chest, looking quite heroic. The opening of his eyes seemed capable of intimidating the world.
There was no aura on him. Perhaps he had been dead for a long time now because of all the dust on his robe.
If one wasn’t attentive enough, they would think that he was just a statue in the corner.
“Who is this?” Jiahui wondered.
Could this be their progenitor, Everlasting Forefather? She shuddered after this.
