Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 163 – The sixth cave heaven and the seventh spiritual realm

After the half-demon chaos, the city of Shuofang enjoyed a few days of peace, and Su Yun's life became simpler. He went to the Ge Wu Academy every day "for class" to supervise the troublemakers, then returned to Shanshui Residence for lunch and cooked with Chi Xiaoyao. If they didn't feel like cooking, they would take three little fox spirits out to eat.

In the afternoon, Su Yun went back to the Ge Wu Academy to supervise the troublemakers again, then returned home to cook dinner. After dinner, he washed dishes with Chi Xiaoyao and put Qing Qiuyue, Li Xiaofan, and Hu Buping to bed.

Chi Xiaoyao also practiced with him in the Shanshui Residence's practice room for a while. Book spirit Ying Ying taught her how to practice "Chi Dragon Li Yuan Transformation," and then they said goodnight to each other and went back to their own rooms to rest.

In his dreams at night, Su Yun fell into a deep sleep, his spirit pure and his soul strengthened. His spirit realm was connected to Qing Qiuyue, Li Xiaofan, and Hu Buping's.

Book spirit Ying Ying ran around in these spirit realms, supervising the three little ones' cultivation with Su Yun's spirit. But Su Yun's spirit realm still couldn't connect with Chi Xiaoyao's, and they weren't intimate enough to communicate through their spirit realms.

Life was simple and fulfilling. Wu Tong even made some money and paid back what she owed Su Yun. Bai Yuelou was also saving money and planned to challenge Su Yun when she had enough.

Li Zhuxian was the second richest among them and almost challenged Su Yun with three Qinghong coins every day. Su Yun took the money and seriously taught her how to practice. Li Zhuxian even had enough money to go to Qiu Shuijing's place to study and even brought her own useless brother Li Muge. Li Zhuxian's cultivation progress was so fast that the others in the Ge Wu Academy were jealous.

Of course, Su Yun's cultivation progress was extremely fast, so he could teach Li Zhuxian. And the reason why his cultivation progress was so fast was due to Ying Ying's guidance. As a book spirit in the Wen Yuan Pavilion, Ying Ying was familiar with all the books there and taught Su Yun easily. When he fought with Li Zhuxian, he found her weaknesses and easily taught her how to progress.

However, Su Yun was not the fastest among the Ge Wu Academy members. Wu Tong was the fastest. She had already opened six great caves and opened a cave almost every two or three days. Her cultivation progress was so fast that Su Yun felt pressured.

Others couldn't see Wu Tong's true form or the anomalies she experienced during cultivation, but Su Yun could see the six black caves floating above the Ge Wu Academy. The six caves were pitch black, twisted and rotating, as if countless demons were flying in them, fierce, terrifying, evil, and profound.

Su Yun even observed Wu Tong's spirit. There was a demon dragon entwined around her spirit, cold as iron. When he looked at it, the demon dragon's sinister gaze also looked at him.

"What a terrifying woman," Su Yun silently thought. "After the half-demon General Li and others left Shuofang, the half-human and half-demon Wu Tong began to rapidly absorb the demonic energy of Shuofang. Without the half-demons to compete with her, her cultivation speed increased faster and faster."

Book spirit Ying Ying speculated, "That's why the half-human and half-demon Wu Tong didn't help General Li and the others resolve their demonic energy when they were attacked that night."

This girl always sneaked into his spirit realm to eavesdrop on his thoughts when she had nothing to do. But Ying Ying was extremely intelligent and could always find things that others couldn't, which was a great help to Su Yun.

"After a few more days of accumulation, you can try to directly open the sixth cave," Ying Ying said.Ying Ying checked Su Yun's cultivation and spiritual strength, and was very satisfied. She said, "The six major caves in the spirit world are Qing Xu, Kong Ming, Tai Xuan, Xuan Ji, Jiu Shi, and Yu Qing. These six major caves were created by our predecessors after countless cultivations and exploration."

She found a book from somewhere and gently opened it, and countless text patterns flew out of the book.

Su Yun looked up and saw that these texts described the experience of the ancient saints discovering the six major caves in the spirit world, while the patterns were the visions of the ancient saints when they opened the six major caves in the spirit world.

Su Yun checked these visions and found that the spiritual world of the ancient saints was divided into multiple layers. The first cave, Qing Xu Cave, was located in the first layer of the spiritual world, while the cave was rooted in the second layer of the spiritual world.

The second cave, Kong Ming Cave, was a deeper cave, located in the second layer of the spiritual world, but rooted in the third layer of the spiritual world.

And so on.

When it came to the sixth cave, Yu Qing Cave, it was located in the sixth layer of the spiritual world.

Su Yun carefully examined it and the more he read, the clearer his understanding became.

The cave was like a passage leading to the next spiritual world.

The reason why the spiritual energy in the cave was more abundant and the cultivation speed was faster was not because of the cave itself, but because of the spiritual world.

Opening the cave was actually equivalent to opening the next layer of the spiritual world in advance. Although it opened a passage, it allowed the spiritual strength to gain great improvement and the cultivation strength would increase rapidly.

After Su Yun finished reading all the text patterns, he stopped in front of the vision of Yu Qing Cave in the sixth cave and pondered for a moment. He said, "Ying Ying, the previous caves are rooted in the next layer of the spiritual world, absorbing the spiritual energy of that world. So, where is Yu Qing Cave rooted?"

Ying Ying showed appreciation and encouraged him, "Keep asking."

Su Yun walked around Yu Qing Cave with more doubts in his mind and said, "If Yu Qing Cave absorbs spiritual energy faster and more than other caves, it means that there is another layer of spiritual world beyond the sixth layer. So why didn't the ancient saints open the seventh layer of the spiritual world?"

Ying Ying flew up flapping her wings and laughed, "Most people only seek the results and not the reasons. Faced with the knowledge passed down by the ancient saints, they often just know it but don't think about why. Only a few people will explore the reasons. Many scholars in the Tian Dao Academy are exploring the reasons and have accumulated a lot of knowledge."

As she flew up, books flew out from under her wings one after another, and the books radiated light, and text patterns spurted out of them!

Soon, Su Yun's spiritual world was filled with countless text patterns.

Countless voices came, full of questions, and they were actually the difficulties encountered by the scholars of the Tian Dao Academy when they opened the sixth cave after reaching the state of Yu Ling. They all began to try to find out if there was a seventh cave.

Su Yun strolled in the ocean of text and read book after book.

When scholars of the Tian Dao Academy reached this state, they tried to find the seventh cave, but most of them failed to find any trace of it.

These questions were the difficulties they encountered.

However, Su Yun soon discovered that some scholars had made some wonderful discoveries during this process.

When they delved into the seventh cave, they discovered various wonderful phenomena, such as a siphon effect after opening the sixth cave, and the spiritual energy contained in the sixth layer of the spiritual world would invisibly increase.

There would also be an expansion phenomenon.

The sixth layer of the spiritual world would expand again and become wider than before.In addition, there were also some wonderful phenomena in terms of spiritual power, such as purer spiritual power, clearer reflection of divine abilities, and greater power and strength.

However, while they discovered many anomalies and realized that there must be a seventh spiritual realm, no one could find this realm, let alone open it.

"They call it the seventh spiritual realm. Many people have tried to open more sixth heavens and find the seventh spiritual realm."

Ying Ying flew around Su Yun and lightly blew out a breath, causing all the texts and images Su Yun had browsed to shrink and turn into books that fell down. She said, "This includes Xue Taichang, Qiu Taichang, Qu Taichang, and others."

She left the images of the last few books and said, "These are the records they left behind."

Su Yun looked up and was inexplicably shocked.

He saw that Xue Qingfu, Qu Jin, and Qiu Shuijing, the leaders of the Tian Dao Academy, had all chosen the same path, which was to open as many sixth heavens as possible!

Their cultivation paths were different from others. Others only needed to open the six major heavens once.

But after opening the sixth heaven, they continued to open it until they could no longer do so!

Among them, Qu Jin opened the most number of heavens, with up to forty-six different sixth heavens!

Qiu Shuijing opened a considerable number of sixth heavens, up to forty-three.

Xue Qingfu opened the fewest number of sixth heavens, but still up to thirty-five!

The texts left behind by these three Taichangs were filled with all kinds of strange symbols, various calculation formulas, and were extremely complicated and obscure.

They used these calculations to determine the position of different sixth heavens and then blasted them open.

Among them, there were even many runes, calculation formulas, and operation formulas that they created on the spot, which were not publicized!

This made it even more difficult to understand.

"Fortunately, I was there when they were calculating."

Ying Ying the book monster smiled and said, "These three people have extraordinary attainments in both the old and new teachings of the Holy Scriptures. They are the culmination of the old teachings and have also studied the new teachings. I converted their symbols and formulas for you to see."

She waved her hand, and all the various symbols and formulas of Qiu Shuijing, Xue Qingfu, and Qu Jin became clear and no longer difficult to understand.

"Opening the sixth heaven requires extremely complex calculations. Based on the old and new teachings, they calculated the positions of the sixth heavens."

Ying Ying waved her hand and virtually created these sixth heavens in front of Su Yun. She said, "I found that they calculated a total of seventy-two different positions for the sixth heaven. If you connect these seventy-two sixth heavens together, you will find..."

Su Yun looked up and saw the seventy-two heavens that Ying Ying had manifested. These heavens were not all distributed in the sixth spiritual realm, and even appeared in the fifth and fourth spiritual realms!

Su Yun even saw a sixth heaven in the first spiritual realm!

Ying Ying used her magical powers to connect these heavens, but the lines were chaotic and had no rules.

Ying Ying took a breath and said, "You will find that the seventh spiritual realm is not on the same plane! The seventh spiritual realm is actually a fragment!"

Su Yun looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was inexplicably shocked.

"The seventh spiritual realm is actually broken into seventy-two pieces, so when they calculated, they would get different results."

Ying Ying pointed to the sixth heaven in the first spiritual realm and said, "Therefore, you may directly open the sixth heaven!"
