Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

Chapter 219 Lingshi Cave

Chen Xian was filled with joy, knowing that this top-grade spiritual stone was a rare treasure in the world. He hurriedly brought Yaya out of the hot and rolling magma and landed her steadily on the shore.

"Yaya, you really scared your brother to death." Chen Xian patted Yaya's little head gently. Although there was a hint of anger in his words, his eyes were clearly full of love and concern.

Yaya blinked her big eyes and replied with a smile: "Brother, I'm fine, there are still a lot of things in there."

Chen Xian stared at the top-grade spiritual stone in his hand, his heart surging like a turbulent sea. In this world where spiritual energy is scarce, the appearance of the top-grade spiritual stone is like a bright dawn that suddenly appears in the dark abyss, illuminating their confused path forward. These spiritual stones can not only make up for his lost spiritual energy, but may also become the key to their survival and rise in this strange world.

"Big Eyes, do you know what the situation is under the magma?" Chen Xian turned his head and looked at Big Eyes who was still standing there in shock and asked.

Big Eyes shook his head desperately, his face full of panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I have never been down there before. This place is really extremely dangerous."

Chen Xian nodded slightly, thinking to himself. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, but at the same time, it was also accompanied by great risks. But facing such a precious top-grade spirit stone, how could he give up so easily?

"Brother, can we go down and get some more?" Yaya tugged at the corner of Chen Xian's clothes, looking expectant. Her pure and flawless eyes were full of curiosity about the unknown and a burning desire for treasures.

Chen Xian hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take the risk. He left some defensive magic weapons to Da Yan, told him to wait on the shore, and then took Ya Ya into the rolling magma again.

The rolling heat of the magma surged, and Chen Xian held Yaya tightly in his arms. With his unparalleled willpower and profound cultivation, he swam hard towards the cave that Yaya mentioned. The magma around them was churning endlessly, like countless burning claws, trying to drag them in.

The deeper you go, the higher the temperature and the greater the pressure. Chen Xian felt that his spiritual energy was being consumed more and more quickly, and he couldn't help but get anxious. But when he thought of those high-quality spiritual stones, he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

Finally, they arrived at the cave. The cave was filled with high-quality spiritual stones, emitting a dazzling light, like a dreamlike treasure land.

Chen Xian and Yaya were so excited that they quickly began to collect the spirit stones and carefully put them into the storage space. However, at this moment, a low and powerful roar came from the depths of the cave.

Chen Xian's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition instantly surged into his mind. He looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound, only to see a huge flame beast slowly walking out.

The flame beast was burning with blazing flames, and its eyes were filled with an extremely fierce light. Every time it took a step, the ground of the cave trembled slightly. Its appearance instantly raised the temperature of the entire cave several times.

Chen Xian gritted his teeth, protected Yaya behind him, and prepared for this fierce battle. His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but his eyes were as firm as a rock.

The Flame Beast roared and pounced, bringing with it a scorching gust of wind. Chen Xian cast a spell, his hands shining with light, and started a thrilling and fierce fight with the Flame Beast. Each of his attacks contained a powerful force that could destroy the world, trying to repel this ferocious enemy.

In this fierce battle, Chen Xian gradually realized that although the Flame Beast was powerful, its movements were a little slow, as if it was restrained by some mysterious force. He took advantage of a gap to carefully observe the back of the Flame Beast and found a chain emitting a strange light.

Chen Xian's heart moved. Could it be that this flame beast was imprisoned here? If so, is there a deeper secret hidden behind it?

At the moment when he was distracted, the flame beast suddenly attacked him and pushed him back several steps. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Chen Xian's mouth, but his eyes became more determined. He knew that he could not retreat at this moment, otherwise he would not only fail to obtain the spirit stone, but also his and Yaya's lives might be in danger.

"Ya Ya, stay away!" Chen Xian shouted and rushed towards the Flame Beast again. His figure shuttled through the flames and started a desperate battle with the Flame Beast.

While he was dealing with the flame beast, he was thinking hard about how to unlock the mysterious chain. Just when his spiritual energy was about to run out, he suddenly discovered a mysterious rune on the chain.

Chen Xian used up his last bit of strength and cast a powerful spell that shook the world. With a flash of light, he hit the rune accurately.

There was a crisp sound of "crack", the chain broke instantly, and the flame beast instantly became quiet. The flames on its body gradually went out, and it turned into a docile little beast.

Chen Xian let out a long sigh, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for air. At this time, the little beast walked up to him and gently rubbed his hand, as if to express gratitude.

"Brother, it doesn't seem to be fierce anymore." Yaya walked over and carefully touched the little animal's head.

Chen Xian smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps it was controlled by a bad guy before."

Just as they were about to leave with the collected high-quality spirit stones, the little beast suddenly bit the corner of Chen Xian's clothes and motioned for them to follow it.

Chen Xian and Yaya looked at each other and decided to follow the little beast. The little beast led them to the deeper part of the cave, where there was an ancient stone door.

The little beast pushed the stone door gently, and it slowly opened. A powerful spiritual energy rushed towards him, and Chen Xian was pleasantly surprised to find that behind the door was a mysterious space with spiritual energy so rich that it was almost tangible.

However, before they could investigate carefully, the stone door suddenly began to slowly close. Chen Xian was extremely anxious. He knew that this might be the key to their escape from this world lacking spiritual energy. However, the large number of spiritual stones they collected would definitely affect the speed of their actions.

Chen Xian gritted his teeth and made an extremely difficult decision. He left most of the spirit stones to Yaya and the little beast, and only took a small portion with him to ensure that he could quickly pass through the stone gate that was about to close.

"Yaya, hold me tight!" Chen Xian shouted loudly, and then quickly rushed towards the stone gate.

Just when the stone door was about to close completely, they finally succeeded in rushing in. After entering this mysterious space, Chen Xian found that it was filled with extremely rich spiritual energy, and the surrounding scenery was magnificent like a dreamland.

But before they had time to appreciate it carefully, they heard a low bell ringing in the distance, as if issuing a stern warning of their arrival.

Chen Xian's heart trembled. He knew that a new challenge might be coming...

Chen Xian hugged Yaya tightly and looked around vigilantly. This mysterious space was full of unknown dangers, and the low bell sound made him nervous.

The little beast whimpered softly, seeming to be also panicked by the unknown situation. The surrounding spiritual energy was so dense that it was almost tangible, forming a layer of light mist, making the vision blurred.

They moved forward cautiously, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to have some mysterious patterns, emitting a faint light. Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, and there seemed to be a strange sound in the wind, like crying and complaining.

Chen Xian stopped and tried to identify the source of the sound. At this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the fog in front of him. When the figure came closer, Chen Xian could see clearly that it was an old man in ancient clothes.

The old man had a weathered face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He stared at Chen Xian and the others, and slowly said, "Intruders, do you know the taboos of this place?"

Chen Xian cupped his hands and said, "Senior, we didn't mean to offend you. We just happened to come here."

The old man snorted coldly: "Coincidence? There are not so many coincidences in this world. But now that you are here, it will not be easy to leave."

Chen Xian's heart sank, but he still said calmly: "Senior, please tell me how we can leave?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "You need to pass three tests. If you succeed, you can leave. Otherwise, you will stay here forever."

After saying this, the old man waved his sleeves, and the scene in front of them changed instantly, and a mountain towering into the clouds appeared.

"The first level is to climb this peak. There is an object on the top of the peak. If you get it, you will pass the level." The old man's voice echoed in the empty space.

Chen Xian looked at Yaya in his arms, then looked at the little beast beside him, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, we accept the test."

The mountain was steep and rugged, with almost no leverage. Chen Xian used his spiritual energy to climb up with difficulty. Yaya hugged his neck tightly, and the little beast followed hard behind.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the top of the mountain. However, at this moment, a huge bird suddenly appeared and attacked them fiercely.

Chen Xian continued to climb up while dodging the attacks of the birds. In the fierce battle, he gradually discovered the weaknesses of the birds, and finally successfully repelled them and got the items on the top of the mountain.

When they returned to the old man, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the next step is the second level."

The scene changed again, and this time they came to a deep forest.

"There is a key hidden in this forest. Find it and you can pass this level." After the old man said this, he disappeared without a trace.

The forest was filled with a strange atmosphere. Chen Xian led Yaya and the little beast forward carefully. Suddenly, countless vines emerged from the ground and entangled them crazily. Chen Xian hurriedly cast a spell to cut off the vines.

In the process of searching for the key, they also encountered various traps and mysterious creatures, but with Chen Xian's wit and courage, they finally found the key.

When they passed the second level and faced the third level, Chen Xian knew in his heart that this last level would definitely be the most difficult challenge.

The scene turned into a huge maze filled with fog, making it difficult to tell the direction.

"In the center of the maze, there is a teleportation stone. Activate it and you can leave. But be careful, the maze is full of illusions and dangers." The old man's voice sounded again.

Chen Xian took a deep breath and walked into the maze with Yaya and Xiaoshou...

After Chen Xian stepped into the maze, he instantly felt a strong pressure coming. The fog severely obstructed his vision, and every step he took was filled with endless uncertainty.

Yaya held onto the corner of Chen Xian's clothes tightly, and the little beast followed closely behind, observing the surroundings vigilantly. Chen Xian carefully released a trace of spiritual energy, trying to explore the road ahead, but the spiritual energy seemed to be swallowed up by the mysterious power in the maze and there was no response.

They were moving slowly forward in the maze, when suddenly, a sinister and terrifying laugh came from the front. Chen Xian's heart tightened and he stopped. He saw an illusory figure looming in the mist, and the figure was distorted and deformed, which was creepy.

"Come, come, let's get lost here forever..." The strange voice kept echoing.

Chen Xian calmed down, chanted something, and cast a heart-clearing spell to try to dispel the horrible illusion. The illusory figure gradually faded under the effect of the spell, but they did not dare to slack off and continued to move forward.

Not far away, they came to another fork in the road. Chen Xian carefully observed the two roads and found that the road on the left had some slight scratches on the ground, while the road on the right was relatively smooth. He thought for a moment and decided to choose the left road.

However, soon after they walked in, the walls around them suddenly began to move and squeezed towards them. Chen Xian quickly picked up Yaya, called the little beast, and quickly retreated.

At this extremely tense moment, Chen Xian's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but his eyes remained firm. They returned to the fork in the road and chose the right road.

The road seemed calm, but Chen Xian was still alert. As expected, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became soft and they began to sink. Chen Xian quickly cast a spell to keep himself, Yaya, and the little beast suspended in the air.

At this moment, there was another violent tremor in the maze, and rocks kept falling from the top of his head. Chen Xian dodged left and right, trying his best to protect Yaya and the little beast from harm.

After a hard struggle, they finally saw a ray of light ahead. Chen Xian was overjoyed and sped up to fly towards the light.

When they reached the light, they found the teleportation stone they had been looking for. Chen Xian inserted the key in his hand into the groove of the teleportation stone without hesitation, and the teleportation stone instantly emitted a strong light.

Under the cover of light, the figures of Chen Xian, Yaya and Xiaoshou gradually became blurred and finally disappeared in this mysterious space.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in a familiar place. Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Yaya and Xiaoshou, his heart filled with joy of surviving a disaster.

However, before they had time to celebrate, Chen Xian suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching rapidly.

"Oh no, is there a new danger?" Chen Xian frowned, and once again protected Yaya behind him, concentrating on preparing for the upcoming unknown challenge...

Chen Xian stared at the direction where the breath came from with a serious look in his eyes, gathering strength in his hands, ready to respond to any emergency at any time. Yaya's little hand tightly grasped the corner of Chen Xian's clothes, and the little beast bared its teeth, entering a state of alert.

A moment later, a figure came galloping from a distance. When he got closer, Chen Xian could see that the person was an old man with a celestial appearance. The old man looked at Chen Xian and others with sharp eyes.

"Young man, don't be nervous, I mean no harm." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Chen Xian did not relax his vigilance, and asked with a bow, "Senior, why did you suddenly appear?"

The old man laughed and said, "I am the guardian of this place. I just felt some abnormal fluctuations here, so I came to check it out. Seeing that you were able to return safely from that mysterious space, I believe you must have extraordinary skills and luck."

Chen Xian relaxed a little and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior. It was just an accident."

The old man nodded, his eyes fell on Yaya and Xiaoshou, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "These two little guys are not simple either."

Yaya blinked her big eyes and hid behind Chen Xian, secretly watching the old man, while the little beast remained alert.

The old man continued, "My friend, the appearance of this mysterious space is not accidental. It contains huge secrets and opportunities. Your experience this time may be the arrangement of fate."

Chen Xian's heart moved, and he asked, "Please explain clearly, Senior."

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "There are many unknown powerful forces hidden on this continent. That mysterious space is just the tip of the iceberg, and you seem to have been swept into this turbulent torrent."

Chen Xian frowned and fell into deep thought.

The old man added: "However, my friend, you don't have to worry too much. Since you have embarked on this path, you should move forward bravely. I have something here that may be able to help you." As he spoke, the old man took out an ancient book from his arms and handed it to Chen Xian.

Chen Xian took the ancient book and saw some ancient runes and patterns engraved on it, exuding a mysterious aura.

"This is a long-lost secret book of cultivation. I hope it will be helpful to you." said the old man.

Chen Xian said gratefully: "Thank you for the generous gift, senior."

The old man waved his hand and said: "Go, the road ahead is still long. I hope you can solve the many mysteries of this continent."

After saying this, the old man disappeared in a flash.

Chen Xian took Yaya and Xiaoshou away from here. Along the way, he flipped through the ancient books in his hands, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Soon, they came to a prosperous town. The town was bustling with people coming and going. Chen Xian decided to find a place to stay and study the secret book carefully.

They walked into an inn and just sat down when they heard several people at the next table discussing an important event.

"Have you heard? There has been some unusual activity in an ancient tomb outside the city. It is said that there are countless treasures and powerful magic weapons hidden inside."

"Is this true? Wouldn't that attract many experts?"

"Of course, all parties are ready to make a move."

When Chen Xian heard this, he was moved. The treasures and magic weapons in the ancient tomb might help him improve his strength. But he also knew that this must be full of dangers.

Should he venture into the ancient tomb to explore, or continue to practice and improve his strength? Chen Xian was caught in a dilemma...
