The gourd shaped ravine was over five kilometers in size and had several smaller ravines spread within it.


    If one could not fly they could technically get lost in it and not find the way for a day or two. Thankfully for Lin Mu, he knew exactly where he was supposed to go.


    "That third ravine from the edge!" Lin Mu pointed to mid sized ravine.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Alright~" Little Shrubby moved towards the ravine and the two finally entered it.


    The inside of the ravine was actually wider than its entrance. If one did not know this, they would mistake the location too perhaps.


    "Makes one wonder how the original person found this ce." Lin Mu muttered.


    "Someone with strong enough senses might have passed by through here and noticed it. The mine might not have interested them, but they still marked it for others." The Saintess spoke much to Lin Mu''s surprise.


    "Huh? Why would someone do that?" Lin Mu questioned finding it strange.


    "If its someone that can sense the mine with such ease, their cultivation base should be high enough to disregard it too. To them the mine might not be much, but they could still pass it on to other juniors.


    People of sects and various powers often do things like this. They mark fortuitous encounters for juniors, to find themselvester on. It is far better than handing them everything on a silver tter." The Saintess exined the mentality of some experts.


    "I see…" Lin Mu muttered. "Looks like the generosity of a senior is now benefiting me. I''d thank them if I knew who they were." He added.


    Unfortunately, Lin Mu knew there was no way to do that, as the maps were very old. Even Huangyu Shiyi didn''t know who had made them, other than the fact that they were from the time when the great battle had happened.


    As for the maps themselves, the prince had stolen them from others in the first ce. Thus, it was impossible to know where the original owners had found the map from. There was even a chance that they might have been in the hands of some n for a long time, before being exposed.


    Whatever it might be, it didn''t matter anymore since Lin Mu had already found it.


    The three continued to descend deeper into the ravine and stopped when they were around five hundred meters deep.


    "It should be somewhere around here…" Lin Mu said before spreading out his Immortal Sense.


    The Saintess looked in a particr direction, having sensed something.


    ''Let''s see how long it takes for him to discover it.'' The Saintess thought, having already found the exact location of the mine.


    The entrance of the mine was hidden with an array, thus would not be visible directly. Even if someone tried to search for it using their Immortal sense, it would not be visible. One would need to be exceptionally good and also be a formation master to find it.


    There were almost no energy fluctuationsing from it either, and the natural bloody aura of the Deste Blood battlefield also shrouded it further. Though in the Grey te Ravines, the Bloody aura was less than other ces.


    It was one of the few locations in the Deste Blood battlefield that weren''t as contaminated with the bloody aura. Though Lin Mu could tell that there were still baleful energies hidden here.


    The only change was between their concentration.


    It was exactly this difference in concentration that Lin Mu used to find the location of the mine entrance.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Found it!" Lin Mu opened his eyes after just a minute.


    ''That was fast…'' The Saintess was a bit surprised.


    She followed after Lin Mu and soon came to stand in front of a in looking rock wall.


    "They hid it pretty well." Lin Mumented. "But the same method they used to hide it was what gave it away." He added.


    "How so?" the Saintess asked, wanting to know Lin Mu''s reasoning.


    "They used an illusory array to hide the entrance. It''s a good one and masks its energy signature almost perfectly. You can''t feel any Qi fluctuations from it. But at the same time, since it does so well in restraining energy fluctuation, it tends to push away the Baleful energies too." Lin Mu exined.


    The Saintess was impressed by Lin Mu''s methodology. It was a roundabout way to finding an illusory array, butmendable the same.


    "Now can you unravel it?" The Saintess asked.


    "Of course." Lin Mu nodded his head.


    He moved up to the rocky wall and ced his hand on it. A few secondster, a ripple spread from his hand, as if the rock was water.


    ~SHUA~


    The surface of the rock wall started to flicker and a minuteter, it faded away. What was left behind was a gaping cave that was pitch dark.


    "Here we go." Lin Mu feeling satisfied.


    The Saintess, who had seen everything from start to end was even more pleased.


    ''His formation skills are certainly great. They''re already good enough to grant him a direct entry to the Immortal Court.'' She thought.


    The Saintess now looked forward to what else Lin Mu might show her in the future. While she was originally there to look out for the twins, she was getting interested in Lin Mu too. Though him being a disciple of Xukong might have added to it even more.


    Lin Mu entered the cave along with Little Shrubby, while the beast created a few fire balls that illuminated their path.


    They continued through the cave and eventually reached its depths, where another array awaited them.


    "Oh? This time it''s a barrier array with offensive capabilities." Lin Mu said, furrowing his brows. "Looks like it''s taking power from the mine too… this''ll be a bit difficult." He added.


    "Do you need me to assist you?" The Saintess asked, just in case.


    "No… I''d like to do it on my own. It serves as more practice for me, anyway." Lin Mu rejected with confidence.
