Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 118 - 119: Clue to the Earth Spirit Pearl

"I’m not sure either. Let’s go and take a look." The Golden Demon Vulture transformed into a humanoid form and led the way ahead.

From the mountain top to the Guardian Land, there was a natural narrow path, which wasn’t very difficult to walk.

Soon, a gigantic cave appeared before Chu Linfeng. "Is this the Guardian Land you mentioned?"

"That’s right, the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus is inside this cave. Boss, you need to be careful, as there are occasional flows of heat and cold within, and their power is astounding." The Golden Demon Vulture’s expression was very serious, indicating it must have suffered quite a bit here.

"Let’s go!" After entering the cave, Chu Linfeng discovered it was a natural limestone cave, filled with bizarre stalactites. He stopped after walking about ten meters in.

Chu Linfeng looked at the stones on the ground with shock and said, "This really is a gravity zone; I feel like I can hardly breathe here. How could there be such a place?"

"The peculiarity of this place has existed since I was born. The gravity inside is even more intense. I fear, Boss, that you might not be able to obtain the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus, as it is too dangerous." The Golden Demon Vulture’s expression also showed some unease.

"If no one else can enter here, then why do you bother killing those who come close? Isn’t it redundant?" Chu Linfeng thought the Golden Demon Vulture’s actions were unnecessary, as even if people were allowed in, they still wouldn’t be able to obtain it.

"It’s different. My responsibility is to protect the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus, and no one is allowed to get close, except you, Boss. However, even for you, it’s challenging to get near."

Chu Linfeng didn’t speak; he felt a pain in his chest every time he said a word. It was best to be cautious in such an environment.

After slowly circulating the Star Power in his Dantian, Chu Linfeng felt much better. He gritted his teeth and moved forward another five meters. Those five meters felt like five hundred or even five thousand meters and sweat started pouring out.

The gravity here was even stronger than the pressure in the Star Chamber. Chu Linfeng felt that if he moved forward ten more steps, he might be crushed to the ground.

The middle-aged man transformed from the Golden Demon Vulture was doing much better than Chu Linfeng. "Boss, it seems we cannot obtain this treasure. We are still fifty meters away from where the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus is located, and the pressure doubles every ten meters. Even if I entered, I could only use my true form; my transformed body wouldn’t withstand it."

Chu Linfeng was somewhat unwilling to give up, "Is there really no other way? There has to be a reason for the gravity here. If we find the problem, we can eliminate the gravity, and then the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus can be obtained."

"That’s impossible. I’ve been around here for hundreds of years, and I’ve entered this place more than a hundred times without finding anything unusual. It’s as if this pressure naturally exists. Your idea won’t work, Boss." The Golden Demon Vulture said seriously.

Chu Linfeng stood still, his back drenched in sweat, thinking carefully about the features of this place. At this moment, Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice appeared.

"Even if you rack your brains, you won’t figure it out. The gravity here is actually caused by a pearl, but with your current strength, it would be difficult to break it, so it’s better to leave early. The lotus seeds won’t disappear immediately after maturing. Come back when you’re stronger and take the pearl then."

"A pearl? Is it a Spiritual Pearl? Is there really a Spiritual Pearl here?" Upon hearing the Sword Spirit’s voice, Chu Linfeng appeared excited because every time the Sword Spirit appeared, it could solve his problems.

"It’s an Earth Spirit Pearl. If you obtain it, you can comprehend the Earth Element and practice the Nine Revolutions Star Transformation’s First Transformation, the Earth Transformation! But with your current strength, forget about it; you simply can’t achieve it."

"Earth Spirit Pearl? Is the gravity here formed by the Earth Spirit Pearl?" Chu Linfeng was extremely shocked. The long-desired Spiritual Pearl was right here; how could he not be excited?

But Sword Spirit Yue’er’s last sentence was like a bucket of cold water, drenching him thoroughly, like a cooked duck taken away from his mouth, leaving him extremely depressed.

"There should be a restriction here. The person who laid it must have a strength of at least the Third Layer of the Celestial Martial Realm. If you had the attack power of the Third Layer of the Celestial Martial Realm, the restriction would naturally be broken. However, considering the age of this barrier, maybe even the First Layer of the Celestial Martial Realm might break it. But do you have that power now?"

Chu Linfeng did not possess the power of the First Layer of the Celestial Martial Realm; even using the Lion Spirit Fist could only exert the power of the Eighth Level of the Earth Martial Realm. This was indeed something unattainable.

"No other way?" Chu Linfeng asked very unwillingly.

"No, there are many Spiritual Pearls in any realm, and this realm is no exception. But obtaining a Spiritual Pearl is extremely difficult. Places with Spiritual Pearls always have extremely harsh environments.

For example, the Earth Spirit Pearl is in a gravity environment, the Fire Spirit Pearl must be in a flame or high-temperature environment, and the Thunder Spirit Pearl surely has a lot of thunder and lightning. Without strong strength, you cannot obtain them." There was a hint of disappointment in the Sword Spirit’s tone, like someone uncooperative with effort.

The Golden Demon Vulture saw that Chu Linfeng was standing there motionless, his sweat dripping constantly from his forehead, and couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, are you alright? If it’s not possible, we can come back next time. It’s said that once the Fire Lotus matures, it can be stored for a period, although it will lose some energy, it won’t be too much. It’s not too late to come back when you’re stronger!"

Chu Linfeng smiled bitterly, "Let’s go back. I’ll definitely come here when I have the chance. For now, let’s complete the task; everyone is still waiting for me."

Although Chu Linfeng really wanted to obtain the Fire Lotus, compared to the Earth Spirit Pearl, it was insignificant. However, these two things were both unreachable, leaving him feeling like he was leaving a treasure mountain empty-handed.

Upon leaving the cave, Chu Linfeng immediately felt extremely light and his breathing much more relaxed. This place really isn’t suitable for people. If he could exercise his physique here, perhaps he could break through to the Third Layer of the Star Body, but time won’t permit it.

"Boss, you go up first. I’ll fill up this cave entrance, otherwise, it will be discovered," said the Golden Demon Vulture.

Chu Linfeng was a bit puzzled, "It’s difficult to move even an inch in there. Even if someone knows about it, there’s no need to be so serious."

"Boss, thousand-year spirit medicines always manifest anomalies upon maturing, which will attract some powerful Magical Beasts. In this Magic Beast Forest, three beasts have about the same strength as me, one has even broken through to the Tier Nine Magical Beast realm. If it finds out, it’ll definitely come to snatch it, and then we’ll get nothing."

"About the same strength as you? What kind of Magical Beasts are they?" The more Chu Linfeng heard, the more shocked he was. He really didn’t understand why the Celestial Dragon Academy let the students compete here. Was it because there were too many students wasting food or were they really honing the students’ will or improving their strength?

The Golden Demon Vulture suddenly shot a white light from its hand towards the cave entrance. "Boom!" A powerful earthquake-like sound erupted, and suddenly smoke filled the air. Countless rocks fell from the mountainside, instantly sealing the cave entrance.
