Yang Qingxuan smiled wryly. "I don't deserve such praise."
"You don't have to be humble," Qing Buli said. "I'm quite satisfied with this team. It won't be difficult to take first place. But you mustn't underestimate them. "
"Of course," Yang Qingxuan said.
Qing Buli continued, "I've asked Zongnanbei about the Forbidden Land."
Yang Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if Qing Buli had guessed something.
Qing Buli said calmly, "He didn't say anything."
Yang Qingxuan was exasperated. "Then what do you want to know from me?"
Qing Buli smiled. "I'm certain that something happened in the Forbidden Land. Since it no longer exists, I can't be bothered to look into the details. Just cultivate in peace."
Yang Qingxuan knew that Qing Buli was saying this to reassure him. He nodded, indicating that he understood.
Qing Buli continued, "How are your Eight Note String Finger and Nine Heavens Ripple Tune coming along?"
Yang Qingxuan said, "I don't dare slack off, but I don't dare say that I've mastered them."
Qing Buli said, "Come with me."
A beam of light enveloped the two of them, and they disappeared from the hall in a flash.
In the next moment, the light appeared above the hall and sped toward Divine Sonar Mountain.
Soon, the two of them landed in front of a small courtyard.
Yang Qingxuan had been here before. This was Wu Hao's residence.
Faint sounds of strings could be heard from within. As if sensing someone's presence, the sound stopped after a while, and Wu Hao appeared before the two of them.
Yang Qingxuan hurriedly greeted him with cupped fists. "Thank you for the zither, Wu Hao. I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to say goodbye. Please don't blame me."
Wu Hao hurriedly took his hands and said warmly, "You're welcome. There's no need to blame me. Please, come in. "
He treated him even more warmly than Qing Buli.
The three of them entered the small courtyard. Wu Hao washed the teapot and brewed some tea.
After Yang Qingxuan took a few sips of tea, Wu Of Gojoseon said, "Did you bring Yang Qingxuan here to enter the Divine Sound Mountain?"
Yang Qingxuan was puzzled. He thought to himself, Isn't this the Divine Sound Mountain? However, he remained silent and continued to drink his tea.
Qing Buli nodded. "That's right. The Grand Competition of the Five Nations is just around the corner. I have already invited the other four college deans, and they will arrive soon. During this time, I hope that he can enter Divine Sonar Mountain. Perhaps there will be unexpected results. Elder Wu, what do you think? "
Wu Hao said, "I think so too."
The two of them agreed without prior consultation.
"Come with me."
Wu Hao stood up and led the way. The three of them passed through the small courtyard. There was actually a small stone path that led straight to the bottom of the mountain.
The two bronze doors were covered with rusty nails.
Wu Hao pushed the door open, and a pitch-black passageway appeared. It twisted and turned, and the end could not be seen.
Wu Hao said, "Come with me. You must follow me closely."
The passageway was spacious and not closed off. In fact, the Spiritual Qi here was even better than outside.
Yang Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood that the spirit vein must be at the bottom of the mountain.
After walking for a short while, they started to see a fork in the road.
Wu Hao was familiar with the path. He led the way at a steady pace. There were many forks in the road.
After walking for about an hour and not knowing how far they had traveled, Wu Hao stopped and said, "We're here."
At the end of the passageway, there seemed to be a faint light.
Yang Qingxuan thought to himself, If I can stay here and cultivate, I will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The three of them continued to walk for another half a mile. Then, they came out of the mountain. They were in a valley, and the faint light was actually the moonlight that filled the sky.
Yang Qingxuan asked curiously, "Why did we come out?"
Wu Hao said, "This place is very mysterious. The core spirit vein of the entire Divine Sound Mountain is right below here."
Yang Qingxuan said, "I see. Why did I feel a strange frequency fluctuation? It must be the core spirit vein."
Wu Hao and Qing Buli's expressions changed. They were both shocked.
Wu Hao hurriedly asked, "What frequency fluctuation?"
Yang Qingxuan pondered for a moment. He used his consciousness to scan the surroundings. He said slowly, "It's hard to describe."
Wu Hao and Qing Buli looked at each other. They could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Qing Buli laughed. "Haha, Yang Qingxuan, I'm completely convinced now."
Yang Qingxuan was confused.
Qing Buli stopped smiling and said seriously, "Martial artists use their martial souls to communicate with heaven and earth to cultivate. Apart from that, they can also use other things to increase their strength. From there, they can create all-encompassing origin artifacts. In the Cangnan Empire, there are five top-grade origin artifacts. "
Yang Qingxuan listened carefully. He didn't know why Qing Buli had suddenly brought this up.
Qing Buli suddenly asked, "But have you ever thought about what a top-grade origin artifact is? What's above it? "
Yang Qingxuan exclaimed, "Above the top-grade origin artifact? There are very few origin artifacts in the world, and top-grade ones are even rarer. That's a problem for me. "
He thought to himself, "Qiyue once talked about the Heaven and Earth Lists. The ability of the two lists should be above the top."
Qing Buli said, "The so-called top-grade origin artifacts are the pinnacle of the mortal rank. The mortal rank refers to artifacts that can still be used by mortals. Beyond that, it's not something ordinary people can touch. It's called an Earth Tool. "
"Earth artifacts?"
This was the first time Yang Qingxuan had heard of such a thing. His interest was piqued. "Is there an earth artifact here?"
Qing Buli praised, "Exactly. The strange fluctuation you're sensing is the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant!"
Yang Qingxuan exclaimed, "The Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant? What does it have to do with the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant? "
Qing Buli replied, "You've hit the nail on the head. Kagura used the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant to create the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant."
Yang Qingxuan was somewhat fascinated. "Where is this earthly item? Can I take a look at it? "
Qing Buli shook his head. "Ordinary people can't control an earth artifact. Even I can't make it appear. However, I'm certain that the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant is in this valley. I brought you here in the hope that you can learn a thing or two from it. It'll be of great benefit to your cultivation of the Jiu Xiao Huan Pendant. "
Yang Qingxuan said, "I understand."
At the same time, he felt a surge of warmth. Qing Buli and the others had spared no effort in nurturing him.
Wu Hao said, "Those strange strands are the aura of an earth artifact. I only sensed it after cultivating here for three years. To be able to sense it as soon as you arrived shows that your talent is far beyond mine. "
Yang Qingxuan said, "You flatter me, Elder Wu. This student will do his best."
Qing Buli nodded. "There's not much time left, do your best. But everything is up to fate. Don't force it even if you don't obtain it. "
Yang Qingxuan said, "I understand. Fate can't be forced."
Qing Buli said, "It's good that you understand."
At that moment, the two of them left Yang Qingxuan in the col and returned through the underground passage.
Yang Qingxuan observed his surroundings carefully and found that it was indeed different from the outside world.
The valley was empty and silent, and the cold moon was like a hook.
The flowers, trees, and stones were all immersed in a faint mist, full of spirituality.
