Chapter 102: The Key Is In Progress (1)
"As for that person, she's here. Xiao, come over here quickly. This is the leader of our exploration team, Mr. Khaidifu. Mr. Khaidifu, this is Xiao. Perhaps you have heard of Yasha, the guardian of Liyue. She is also one of the Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortals."
After Haidiv learned about Xiao's true identity, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Why was the big Buddha of Liyue willing to come to his small temple? Could there be another Dragon King coming later?
"I understand. Sir, what should I call you?" Hedifu didn't know whether he should call him by his real name, or call him immortal or some other name. After all, he was afraid of violating Liyue's taboo again.
Fortunately, Xiao spoke, "Mr. Hedi, you can just call me Xiao. After all, the Emperor has spoken." More and more cold sweat flowed down Hedi's head. He waved his hands repeatedly and spoke to Xiao nervously.
"How dare you call me sir? Isn't that embarrassing? And Tianhe, please don't call me sir either. I feel like I really can't bear your title. But Xiao, you don't need to go through the formalities to join the exploration team. I can just announce that you are a specially invited guest."
However, for Xiao, she actually didn't care what kind of identity she had when she joined the exploration team, as long as Tianhe was by her side. Tianhe was thinking about another problem at this time. After arranging Xiao's work in the exploration team, the next thing was to deal with the problem of Pan Jian.
It was just that he was no longer the clever way to conceal the secret of Panjian from Qixing. Although he still entered the exploration team as a traveler, he now had not only the documents of Qixing, but also, from a political point of view, they would basically not encounter any obstacles in exploring the Layered Rock Abyss, after all, Qixing knew that Tianhe was going to the Layered Rock Abyss.
So, in order to unlock the Pan Key, Tianhe took Zhiqiong with him, but Jiuqi Shinobu did not go with Tianhe. She accompanied Xiao specifically, and brought a map of the surface mining area of the Stratochasm given to them by Haidi, which also had the specific location of the Pan Key on it, so they set off in another direction.
After all, Xiao had come to Stratum several times after the Kanreya War, but she had only wandered around Stratum a few times. In the past five hundred years, she had not found the right time to go to the underground mining area of Stratum Abyss to see if she could find any clues about Fushe.
However, she gave up later. After all, Dihuazhou was of great strategic significance to Liyue. Although no one asked her to guard it, as a Yaksha, she naturally understood this truth, so she always stayed at her post, and it was the same for five hundred years.
Until today, Tianhe gave her a chance to go deep into the Abyss, and the safety of this opportunity was very reliable. Because of the current Abyss, she felt a sense of crisis, and even Xiao herself felt that if she went in alone, she would be very likely to get hurt, and there was even a possibility that she would never be able to return to the surface.
Of course, Xiao himself didn't know that Tianhe had specially brought in a lot of people to ensure the safety of this trip to the Abyss and to deal with some subsequent matters. However, what we know is that there must be a lot of forces in the Abyss that have set their sights on this place.
While Xiao and A-nin were dealing with the Pan-Jiang near Liuli Peak, Zhiqiong felt that she was alone with Tianhe, and she kept acting like a spoiled child, wanting Tianhe to carry her there. So Tianhe opened the stable wind field, picked up Zhiqiong in a princess hug, and they flew towards Fubie Valley.
After arriving at the destination, Zhiqiong reluctantly jumped off Tianhe, and Tianhe carefully checked the map to find the exact location of the Pan key. Then he remembered that the Pan key was underground, so he had no choice but to look for the secret place called "The Valley in the Rock".
It's just that no one has discovered this secret realm, the Rock Chasm, yet. After all, it involves rock elements. Although the process is not that complicated, it is not so easy for the holder of the Rock God's Eye to get it out.
After Tianhe found the entrance to this secret cave, he used the resonance of rock elements to successfully open it. At first, Zhiqiong was still looking at the strange stones around him, and then he discovered that there were fluctuating golden lines under his feet.
It was discovered that Tianhe was using the rock elemental force to connect with the surrounding resonance stones, and then there was a loud bang, "Boom!" A huge rock in front of him exploded directly. However, Tianhe had activated the Jade Shield for Zhiqiong in advance, so Tianhe activated the wind elemental force to blow away the smoke, and the two entered the cave.
The so-called secret realm does have a door, but it has not been unlocked yet, so Tianhe simply unlocked the secret realm directly. As for what happened next, please stay tuned~
