The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2348 News, Blood Miasma Cave

When the old pervert heard Matthew say that he had advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, a look of shock appeared on his face.

That expression was like a huge rock suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing layers of uncontrollable ripples.

His eyes widened instantly, his pupils contracted slightly, and his originally relaxed face became tense.

He has had no time to investigate Matthew's cultivation level since he woke up.

The moment he woke up, he was preoccupied with his injuries and worries about the current situation. His brain was a mess and he had no time to think about anything else.

Moreover, Matthew's previous performance did not arouse his suspicion, so he never had the opportunity or the energy to explore Matthew's level of cultivation.

At this moment, after using his spiritual sense to scan, he discovered that Matthew's aura was extremely strong, completely different from before.

That breath was like the surging sea, deep and vast, and like the towering mountains, steady and heavy. Every fluctuation of spiritual power seemed to be telling how powerful Matthew was now. This was a qualitative leap, a huge transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change.

The old pervert was secretly amazed in his heart. He knew very well how high the threshold of the Spirit Transformation Stage was. Many cultivators would find it difficult to cross it in their entire lives. But Matthew had actually reached this level in such a short time. This really shocked him immensely.

Now, the old pervert realized that Matthew had not lied to him.

After exhaling heavily, the old pervert said, "Since the master has entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage, I will tell you the whole story."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying to calm down the shock in his heart.

After the old pervert finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. His brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence, as if his thoughts had returned to decades ago.

"Decades ago, when we had just established our foothold in the Guyuan Mountains, we received news from southern Xinjiang."

The old pervert spoke slowly, his gaze became somewhat distant, as if he could see the scene at that time through time and space.

"In addition to the traces of the blood dwarfs, there is also news that the Black Evil Cult has reappeared. However, only a few people know about the news of the Black Evil Cult. After all, this matter is too unbelievable, so I came here to investigate in person."

Matthew did not interrupt him and listened silently.

He knew that the old pervert must have a lot of important things to tell, and these things were crucial to understanding the current situation.

"Master, do you know that there is a secret place in Southern Xinjiang?"

But then, the old pervert did not continue talking about them, but looked at Matthew curiously and asked this question.

"Is it the secret place that will be opened in a few months? If so, I have heard of it a few times, but I have never learned much about it."

Matthew answered truthfully. He had heard of this secret place, but he had not studied it in depth, so he didn't know much.

"That place is called Blood Miasma Cave. It is the largest secret place in Southern Xinjiang and its existence cannot be traced back."

The old pervert's expression became serious, and there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

"This Blood Miasma Cave is like a holy place to the cultivators in Southern Xinjiang. It is said that there are things in it that even the Divine Transformation cultivators are extremely eager for."

Seeing that Matthew only had a vague idea about the secret place, the old pervert began to explain, "The reason why the Blood Miasma Cave is called a secret place is because it is surrounded by a thick layer of blood miasma. This blood miasma is extremely powerful and contains strong toxicity. Once an ordinary cultivator inhales it, he will die instantly. Moreover, the spiritual energy fluctuations in the Blood Miasma Cave are very chaotic, and the space is extremely unstable. If you are not careful, you will be caught in the turbulent space and shattered to pieces."

The old pervert paused, as if recalling more information about the Blood Miasma Cave. "We spent a lot of energy to explore the Blood Miasma Cave. We sent many men, who lurked around the Blood Miasma Cave for a long time, trying to find a way to get in. However, the defense of the Blood Miasma Cave is extremely strong, and they tried many times without success."

The old pervert continued, "It was not until recently that we got accurate information. It turns out that the treasure in the Blood Miasma Cave is about to be unveiled!"

When he said this, the old pervert's expression became somewhat excited.

There was a gleam in his eyes, as if he had already seen the treasure right before his eyes.

"This treasure is said to be a divine weapon that possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. If you can get it, not only can you improve your own strength, but you can also dominate the entire southern border."

Matthew's heart moved, and he realized the importance of this matter.

The emergence of a magical weapon will inevitably lead to competition among various forces, which will surely lead to a bloody storm.

"You mean to say that the blood clan and the Black Demon Cult appear here just to get the treasure that is about to come into the world?" Matthew heard the key point in the old pervert's words and asked in a deep voice.

He was not very interested in the so-called treasures, and had never thought about taking part in the treasure hunt.

His purpose of coming to Southern Xinjiang was simple, he wanted to get rid of the blood dwarf and avenge himself.

If the situation permits, he wouldn't mind wiping out the Black Evil Sect branch in southern Xinjiang as well.

But now, what the old pervert said obviously had another meaning.

"That's right. If it was before, I might not be sure of this. But before I got hurt, I had already received accurate information. There is one more thing, Master, you may not know. The so-called Black Evil Sect is actually a disguise of the blood clan, in order to use the Black Evil Sect to cover up the blood clan's plan!"

The old pervert once again said something that shocked Matthew.

"We went to Black Wind Mountain this time to investigate this matter. Although we were ambushed, we saw the blood dwarf inside the Black Evil Sect before we were injured. After seeing him appear, I was ready to understand everything. He knows me, so he designed a plan to lure me over. Because he didn't know where I was hiding before, only this method could lure me out."

The old pervert continued speaking, but this time after he finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Someone from the ghost clan has defected to the Black Evil Sect. Do you know about this?" Matthew asked after thinking for a while.

"I know, so no one knew my whereabouts before." The old pervert nodded solemnly.

"I originally planned to wait until I had dealt with the Black Evil Sect and sorted out the intelligence before returning to eliminate those traitors."

As he spoke, the old pervert took out a black jade slip from his arms and handed it to Matthew.

"Master, this jade slip contains the list of traitors."
