[Latest Broadcast] Tomorrow was 515, Qidian's anniversary celebration, the day with the most benefits. Other than the gift bags and school bags, the 515 red packets had to be flipped through. There was no reason not to snatch the red packets. Set the alarm clock ~
The Two Realm Dial had to be retrieved as soon as possible. Any more delay would mean more unforeseen events. After Xue Dingyuan found out where the arcane artifact was, he immediately sent a letter to Shaoqing Sect, asking the sect's Spiritual Master to retrieve it.
The person overseeing the West Plains was Ran Xiushu. After receiving the news, he did not delay and immediately rode his sword to the west.
At the same time, Zhang Yan's Prominent Yang clone also left the sect and set off for the West Plains. Using the teleportation formation built between the two regions, it only took a hundred days for him to reach his destination.
Just as he stepped out of the formation door, the clouds in the sky parted, and Xue Dingyuan appeared. He cupped his hands towards him and said, "Spiritual Master, please come here."
Zhang Yan nodded and rode the wind to the sky. After greeting him, he asked, "Spiritual Master Xue, what's the situation now?"
Xue Dingyuan said, "My disciple has already captured the two people from Jun Chen Realm. Everything they had is here."
He raised his hand and two Cosmos Pouches flew out.
The shape was slightly different from the Nine Provinces Cosmos Sleeve Pouches. It looked like a jade brocade belt connected to a pouch. There were neatly embroidered paintings on it, and there were jade pendants and pearls hanging on it. It looked exquisite and beautiful.
Zhang Yan saw that one of the pouches was extremely large, and it was covered with fur. It was different from the other pouch, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at it. His mana went into the pouch, and he could see everything inside clearly.
There were many strange insects here, a great variety of species, other than that, there were all kinds of sleeping demon beasts, these demons were all equipped with saddle belts. It should be used for riding. The rest of the scattered items were the brains, muscles, and bones of living creatures.
It could be seen that the owner was like the cultivators of Nanhua Sect. He was skilled in controlling monsters, and the insects that Tao Zhenren was worried about should be made by this person.
He looked down. He didn't find anything valuable here, so he moved it to the side and checked the other bag.
The pouch was mostly filled with defensive treasures and talismans, as well as a variety of precious metals and stones. It seemed that the Treasured Paradise Palace cultivator that Guo Changhe speculated was the owner of this pouch.
At this time, his heart moved slightly. In a corner of the bag, he found dozens of magical tools wrapped in lead-mercury soft silver, and their shapes were strange. It didn't look like it came from the same place as the other Jun Chen Realm artefacts, and it had long lost its spiritual opportunity. It was very likely that the two of them had obtained it from that palace.
His attention quickly fell on a talisman. The characters on it seemed to be eroded. His interest was immediately piqued. He took it out of the bag, put it under his eyes, and tried to deduce it. But when he realized that he couldn't continue, he immediately came to a conclusion. This was the Sect Inheritance Eroding Rune. It was something a sect provided for their own disciples to use. Using ordinary deduction methods was useless.
However, this was not completely unthinkable. If one was willing to put in the effort, there were several ways to unravel the mysteries within.
As he was looking, Xue Dingyuan said, "Sage Ran, you're back."
He turned to look. A sword light flashed in the sky, and in an instant, it arrived in front of the two of them. As the light dispersed, Ran Xiushu walked out. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Sage Ran."
Xue Dingyuan returned the greeting and said, "How was your trip, Sage Ran?"
Ran Xiushu laughed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. There were more than ten thousand of those monkey demons, and many of them had gained spirituality. It would be a pity to kill them all, so I used the divine art of my sword to cut off the restraints in their hearts. These monkey demons knew how to be grateful, and all of them knelt down and kowtowed. However, I couldn't guarantee that there weren't any that escaped, so I caught them all and let Senior Brother Qing Chen have a headache. As for the Dual Realm Dial, I've also retrieved it."
He shook his sleeve and tossed out an artifact that was about three feet tall. However, the three of them could sense spiritual light shining around it, and there was a vast amount of magic power and Spiritual Vigor hidden within it.
Xue Dingyuan examined it, and his expression turned solemn. He said, "The magic power in this must have been instilled by the great divine art of the Jun Chen Realm. If we keep it, there might be variables. Wait for me to resolve it."
He reached out and brushed it. In an instant, the Spiritual Vigor on the dial disappeared, and the light around it dimmed. He said, "Although the magic power on this has been removed, I think that it shouldn't be destroyed immediately. We can keep it for now and use it to deceive the enemy."
The Two Realm Instruments were a pair. If the instrument here was destroyed, then the Jun Chen Realm would definitely notice the abnormality. It was extremely likely that they would send more cultivators here. Now that the person and the instrument were in their hands, they could make use of it to do a lot of things.
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "This matter will be handled by Reverend Xue."
Originally, it would have been best to destroy the artifact, but now that they had both the person and the artifact, there was no need for that. Furthermore, with Xue Dingyuan's Nightmare Realm confusing them, they could send some misleading information to the Jun Chen Realm so that they wouldn't be able to make the correct judgment.
Xue Dingyuan cupped his hands and said, "I won't make any mistakes."
Zhang Yan turned and said, "Reverend Ran, when you went to the Western Plains, did you see the palace?" Ran Xiushu immediately became excited.
He said, "I saw it. The palace was huge, and the ruins of the city stretched for millions of kilometers. Although I don't know how many years have passed, there are still some restrictive formations on it. The person who built it was a cultivator of the Qi Dao. It shouldn't be from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Perhaps it came from beyond the Heavens. It's just that I was in a hurry to get back, so I only had a cursory look. There are many places that I didn't have the time to examine in detail."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "It doesn't matter where it came from. Since it's in the Mountain and Sea Realm, we have to get to the bottom of it. I will personally go and take a look."
This matter couldn't be ignored. If the other party really did come from beyond the Heavens, then if it could be here in the past, it could also be here in the future. It was one thing not to know about the past, but now that it had been discovered, it was necessary to find out where it came from and how strong it was. Furthermore, he had to get his hands on the treasure that could fool Reverend Fan Tu. Perhaps it would be of great use in the future.
After asking Xue Dingyuan and Ran Xiushu about the situation, he parted ways in the sky and flew toward the depths of the Western Plains on a sword light.
There were no teleportation formations here, and this clone only had the cultivation base of the Paradise Realm. Therefore, after dozens of days, he arrived above the ruins of the palace Just Now.
Because of how important this matter was to him, his true self in the Temple of Purity Truth awoke from its meditative state, and used the Prominent Yang clone to examine the area down below.
After looking around a few times, he came to a general conclusion that two or more hostile forces must have fought in the palace. After the battle, the palace collapsed, and then fell to the ground.
Based on the traces of magic power left behind, it was just as he had guessed. The people who had fought were cultivators of the Dao of Qi, and were definitely not natives of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As for how long ago the battle had taken place, it was impossible to say. However, it was definitely not less than 100,000 years ago.
After circling around the ruins, he didn't find any useful clues. After a moment of thought, he looked up at the tallest palace in the area.
Although the place looked badly damaged, it was still in good shape. There was no sand or dust covering it, and it was still possible to make out its original grandeur. If there was anything that could indicate the identity of the person who had come, it would probably only be found here.
He flew closer and carefully examined the place. However, he encountered the same problem that the two people from the Great Dust Realm had encountered. The restrictive spell formation above the palace was mostly intact. Unless he came here directly, it would be very difficult to break through.
However, forcing his way in was a bad idea. The result would be that the things inside would be destroyed, and that was not something he wanted to see.
If he didn't use this method, he could only try to open the restrictive spell formation from the front.
He could see that there were many eroded characters on the palace gate, which were the same as the ones on the talisman. They were all eroded characters that had been passed down in the sect. In other words, only someone who had a certain relationship with the master of the palace, or was a descendant of the same bloodline, would be able to deduce a way to open the restrictive spell formation.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and an idea came to his mind. He formed a sword art and instantly, a beam of sword light shot up into the sky. When it reached the highest point in the clouds, it suddenly turned into tens of thousands of sword lights and flew towards the various boundaries of the ruins.
These sword lights were connected to his mind, and if he saw something, it would immediately be reflected in his mind. This was many times faster than the two people from the Great Dust Realm searching. Moreover, because the sword lights were flying, he could enter and leave the corners that were hard to find at will.
After wandering around for a few months, he smiled. As he expected, there were many people who came with this huge palace, so there would definitely be secret manuals of techniques and abilities left behind. With a little effort, he found them.
He flew to the front of a half-collapsed palace, grabbed it, and a few jade scrolls fell into his hand.
He probed inside with his consciousness and suddenly felt that it was blocked by a stagnant force. However, when he used his true body's spirit to rush forward, it immediately melted like ice. Immediately after, a mnemonic chant called 'Life Leading Subtlety' appeared in his consciousness.
This was just an introductory cultivation technique. Even if someone cultivated it with great luck, they could only cultivate it to the Mystic Light Realm. It was impossible to go any higher. Because of this, the defenses weren't very tight.
However, this was enough for him.
With a thought, his true body's consciousness sank into the broken jade. However, a few days later, the incarnation in the jade had cultivated this cultivation technique to the Mystic Light Realm. With this cultivation technique as the foundation, he started to try to deduce the eroded characters on the restriction.
Because this cultivation technique was shallow, it would take a long time to deduce it. However, no matter how shallow the cultivation technique was, it was still passed down by the palace, and they were of the same origin. He had found the right path among the thousands of paths, and as long as he was willing to put in the effort, he would be able to reach the end.
Another dozen or so days later, his avatar suddenly opened his eyes and pressed down with his palm. His Fa Li surged and smashed against the door of the palace. However, the restrictions didn't come out to stop him, and they were being destroyed layer by layer.
If the palace was still intact, apart from the restrictions, there would still be people controlling the array to prevent unrelated people from entering. However, that was obviously not possible now. As time passed, there was a loud rumble, and the palace door that had been closed for who knew how many tens of thousands of years suddenly opened!
