Lu Xuan revealed a bitter smile. "I have to hold on even if I can't. Sikong Tiancai and the others will notice me as soon as I reveal a trace of my whereabouts. It wasn't easy for me to escape. I don't want to die so miserably."
Fortunately, the Traceless Shadow Talisman only consumed Soul Power, so Lu Xuan could still hold on for the time being.
Taking advantage of this time, Lu Xuan sorted out his thoughts and thought about what he should do next. Currently, his strength was almost completely drained, and his entire body felt empty.
This feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable, especially since he knew that Zhao Ying and the others were not truly out of danger. Helping them escape from the forest would only increase their chances of survival. However, it was not enough to rely on their strength to fight against Sikong Tiancai and the others.
After thinking about it, Lu Xuan finally thought of something that might be of great help to him.
With a flip of his palm, a huge cauldron immediately appeared in front of him. It was the Taiyi Cauldron!
The Taiyi Cauldron had several layers of space. When Lu Xuan obtained the Taiyi Cauldron, he could only open the first layer. However, now that he had reached the Void Stage, his Soul Power was even more powerful, so he should be able to open the second layer.
Seeing Lu Xuan take out the Taiyi Cauldron, Bing Ling's voice revealed a hint of joy. "The Taiyi Cauldron is master's other great treasure. Its value is second only to the Heavenly Sword. Open it and see what master has left for you."
Without saying anything, Lu Xuan immediately sent his consciousness into the Taiyi Cauldron and quickly touched the second layer of the Taiyi Cauldron's seal. In order to unlock the Taiyi Cauldron, he had to use the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique. Lu Xuan immediately circulated his cultivation technique and poured the little Yuan Power that he had just recovered into the seal. Following that, he poured his Soul Power and Divine Rune Power into it as well.
As the three powers fused into one, the second layer of the seal trembled slightly and gradually melted. The second layer of space appeared in Lu Xuan's perception without any concealment.
It's open! Lu Xuan was overjoyed. Now, the second layer of the Taiyi Cauldron was his only hope. With a trace of anticipation and hope, Lu Xuan sent his perception into it.
In the empty second level, there were three bottles of elixirs and a jade slip. Lu Xuan used his Divine Sense to retrieve all four items. Then, he sent his Divine Sense into the jade slip.
The jade slip recorded the description of the second level and the introduction of the three bottles of elixirs. The elixir in the blue jade bottle was called the Innate Replenishing Elixir. According to the Heavenly Dao, it was impossible for everything to be perfect in the process of a martial artist's cultivation. Either their Essence Energy was not pure enough, or their strength was not sufficient. The Innate Full Replenishing Pill could, to a certain extent, make up for a cultivator's flaws and further increase their strength to prevent the cultivator's foundation from becoming unstable. There were a total of three pills.
Lu Xuan was slightly delighted. Previously, in order to fight against Sikong Tiancai and the others, he had shattered his tenth Yuan Dan before it was complete and condensed his Yuan Spirit. It was inevitable that he would be somewhat lacking. Now, this Innate Full Replenishing Pill was extremely precious to him.
The elixir in the white jade bottle was called the Clear Jade Soul Pill. It was formed using a Soul Remembrance Crystal as its main ingredient and was refined for three years. Consuming this Clear Jade Soul Pill could make a cultivator's Spiritual Energy purer and more condensed. At the same time, it would greatly increase one's Spiritual Energy. There were also three pills in total.
The last pill in the red jade bottle was the Heaven Soul Blood Fusion Pill. The main ingredient of the Heaven Soul Blood Fusion Pill was a strange treasure called the Blood Evil Stone. Like the Soul Remembrance Crystal, the Blood Evil Stone was also from a dangerous place in the Heaven Region. This stone was extremely mysterious. It would automatically absorb the blood of various living creatures and transform it into pure Blood Qi over a long period of time. It would not reject any kind of bloodline. It was the best pill to increase the power of bloodline. However, there was only one Heaven Soul Blood Fusion Pill.
When Lu Xuan had opened the first level, he had also obtained three pills. They belonged to the three branches of the Spiritual, Soul, and Body Refining Meridians. Now, the pills in the second level were exactly the same. Ye Tian was probably worried that his successor's three cultivation methods would not be able to advance at the same time. Therefore, he had left behind three kinds of pills to provide some help.
However, aside from these three pills, what surprised Lu Xuan even more was that the second level was very different from the first level. It had a great function on its own.
In the second level, there was a formation called the Sky Changing Sun Changing Array. Its use was to slow down the flow of time. The flow of time in the second level was far slower than the outside world. One year in the second level was one day in the outside world! In other words, when Lu Xuan cultivated in the second level for a month, only two hours had passed in the outside world! The name Sky Changing Sun Changing Array was not just for show.
This formation clearly used the Laws of Time. Unless one's Laws of Time had reached an extremely profound level, it could not be used. It was almost like reversing Yin and Yang.
However, if one wanted to activate the Sky Changing Sun Changing Array, they needed the Seven Luminaries Stone. Lu Xuan had never heard of the Seven Luminaries Stone. However, according to the description in the jade slip, he knew that it was a kind of spiritual stone. It was similar to the Primordial Stone, but the power it contained was far superior to the Primordial Stone.
It made sense. Ever since Lu Xuan reached the Great Virtual Realm, he felt that top-grade yuan stones were of limited use to him. Furthermore, there were so many powerful beings in the Heavenly Region. Without better spirit stones, it would be extremely difficult for him to cultivate.
Fortunately, Ye Tian was considerate. He knew that the Sky Sword Continent did not have the Seven Luminaries Stone. He had already stored some in the Sky Changing Array. Even if Lu Xuan did not have the Seven Luminaries Stone, he could still use the Sky Changing Array to cultivate for a period of time.
Of course, although the second floor could change the flow of space, there was a great limit. At least, there would not be any Yuan Power, Soul Power, or Elemental Essence in this space. It was equivalent to a dead space. If one wanted to use this space to cultivate, unless one prepared a large amount of spiritual stones or other treasures, he would not be able to absorb the slightest bit of Yuan Power even if he stayed here for a year.
After withdrawing his consciousness from the jade slip, Lu Xuan immediately told Bing Ling everything he knew.
"I'm going to enter the second floor to cultivate. Now that Master and the others are in a critical situation, I can't waste too much time. With these three bottles of medicinal pills, I should be able to recover a lot of my strength in a short period of time. I can go and help them," said Lu Xuan.
"Even if you go, you don't have the confidence to win. I've been paying attention to the previous battles. The strongest expert from the Sikong Clan has always been Sikong Tiancai, who is only at the second level of the Great Void Realm. I don't believe that a fifth grade sect would only send Sikong Tiancai as their strongest expert. They must have hidden their strength. After all, it was an accident that Sikong Tiancai obtained the Tree of Life," said Bing Ling.
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly, "So what? I don't have any other choice. I can't just watch Master and the others be in danger. If I go, I can at least be of great help. Moreover, the Sikong Clan and the Illusory God Sect have big plans. They actually joined hands with the Soul Clan. This is something I can't tolerate. Once the Soul Clan escapes from here, who knows what kind of carnage will be stirred up in the Sky Sword Continent. Just Bu Nuo and the others alone have caused countless deaths and injuries in the Sky Sword Continent."
Bing Ling was not in a hurry to speak. After pondering for a while, she revealed a helpless smile and said, "Forget it. Give me one Innate Replenishing Pellet."
Lu Xuan was slightly startled and said, "Could it be that the Innate Replenishing Pellet is useful to you, Senior? If that's the case, it doesn't matter if you take all of them. "
Lu Xuan had absolute trust in the Ice Spirit. Ever since they met, the Ice Spirit had always helped him with everything she had. She did not hesitate to do so even if she had to expend a lot of energy and fall into a deep slumber time and time again. If it were not for the Ice Spirit, Lu Xuan would have probably died several times over.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was so generous, Bing Ling revealed a faint smile and her mood became much better. However, she immediately shook her head and said, "Before I reform my body, no matter how good the pellet is, it won't have any effect on me. It can only provide me with a little strength for a short period of time. It would be a waste to give it to me. I only need one."
Since Bing Ling said so, Lu Xuan didn't force her. He took out an Innate Replenishing Pellet from the blue jade bottle and handed it to Bing Ling. Then, he looked at her curiously. He didn't know what Bing Ling wanted the pellet for.
Noticing Lu Xuan's gaze, Bing Ling said snappily, "I'm not taking advantage of you. On the contrary, you're taking advantage of me. It seems that I'm born to owe you. I've been trapped in the Sky Sword Continent for so many years just to help you. It's fate."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but have a bad feeling. He said, "Senior, you won't be sacrificing yourself to do something, right?"
Bing Ling shook her head and said, "I won't go so far as to sacrifice myself. However, I'm afraid that I'll have to sleep again for a period of time. However, my current strength is of limited help to you. Sleeping or not doesn't affect me much. It's good enough that I can help you again."
Without giving Lu Xuan a chance to speak, Bing Ling continued, "Next, I'll use the power I obtained from the Innate Replenishing Pellet to forcefully absorb the treasures scattered in this sealed land. However, the Tree of Life has already left my formation and is in Sikong Tiancai's hands. I can't absorb it. With these treasures, you won't have to be afraid of Sikong Tiancai and the others anywhere except in this forest. "
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's jaw dropped. Bing Ling could forcefully absorb all the treasures? It made sense. Since Bing Ling had set up the formation to place the treasures herself, she naturally had a way to control them.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was filled with gratitude again. Although Bing Ling spoke casually, every time she fell into a deep sleep, she would use up all the power she had accumulated with great difficulty. It was quite harmful to her. If she wasn't worried about Lu Xuan's safety, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Perhaps, to Bing Ling, Lu Xuan's life was more precious than her own, because Lu Xuan carried Ye Tian's hope and the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the human race.
