Zhang Yan flipped to the last page of the book and noticed that the words "Shaoqing Three Lineages" were reflected in his eyes.
Even he couldn't help but feel a little excited. But after a moment of excitement, his expression returned to calmness.
The other secret techniques were fine as they might not be leaked, but this Three Lineage Sword Technique was the most important secret technique of Shaoqing Sect. It was impossible for the Zhen Luo Alliance to learn of it so easily. Taking a step back, even if they got it, would they dare to give it to him?
Also, how could this Three Lineage Sword Technique be completely recorded on a single page?
Although Shaoqing Sect focused on sword cultivation, it was a ten-thousand-year-old sect that was no weaker than Qincang School. They naturally had many different sword cultivation techniques.
But if one looked at the big picture, there were actually only three lineages. They were the "Killing Sword", "Extreme Sword", and "Sword of Transformation".
That day on Yaoyin Mountain, the Shaoqing Sect disciple Kang Tong walked the "Killing Sword" lineage.
This technique was full of ferocity and specialized in the path of attack. It focused on one sword swing, cutting through everything. Magic treasures, spirit artifacts, techniques, techniques, they were all subjects of my sword!
The Extreme Sword lineage used the sword escape technique to the extreme. If one trained it to the Mahayana Realm, when the sword flew, it would be like a meteor breaking through the sky, traveling as fast as lightning. In an instant, it would be able to roam the world and step into the universe.
Even if the cultivators of this lineage could not defeat their opponent in a fight, they could still safely escape. They were extremely difficult to deal with.
As for the Sword of Transformation lineage, when trained to a high level, it could turn into billions of sword lights and trillions of starlight. It could also merge thousands of techniques and evolve endless wondrous effects.
But among the three lineages. This path was also the most complicated. It was the hardest to master.
The disciples of Shaoqing Sect relied on this Three Lineage Sword Technique to dominate the world and become the number one sect in Donghua Continent.
Zhang Yan thought that even though he had the sword pill in his hands, Yue Cang Sect did not have such superior swordsmanship passed down after all. If there was a chance in the future, he might as well pay a visit to Shaoqing Sect. If he could learn a spell, his talent in the path of the sword would not be in vain.
However, it was too early to think about this.
He looked down. Flipping the book further down, as expected, this page didn't contain any techniques. Instead, it was an account of the lives of the three powerful elders of the Shaoqing Sect.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly. He could also understand the intention of the person who wrote this book. The front of this book was filled with random and unorthodox techniques. It seemed very unorthodox, and the Shaoqing Sect was also added in. That was to raise his status.
He thought for a moment. Although these books were useless, he could at least show them to his disciples if he brought them back. Thus, he casually put the two books into his sleeve. With a wave of his sleeve, he put away the table in front of him and closed his eyes to meditate.
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the tenth month of early winter. At this time, the water was cold, and the branches were dry. The whole mountain was cold.
However, at this moment, the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron was filled with raging flames. Cauldron smoke filled the air and heat waves surged. It was very different from the outside world.
Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan were nervously looking at the stone pit. Two months had passed, but there was no movement from the Yi Ya God Statue.
However, they didn't dare to let down their guard. One must know that it wasn't a dead object, and it definitely wouldn't be willing to be refined just like that.
However, to refine this statue into a magical treasure. They also needed to mix in some materials, and halfway through, they had to open the door of the cauldron.
This was the most dangerous moment. The statue might explode and resist at this moment, which was why they borrowed the Earth Splitting Heaven and Earth Leaf from Zhang Yan to guard the door of the cauldron and prevent it from charging out.
Liang Changgong held the Heaven and Earth Leaf in his hand, his expression was slightly nervous. After all, the statue was equivalent to a Grade Three Yuanying Zhenren. With a raise of its hand, the mountains would shake. Even if a large half of its essence energy and spiritual power were used up, it wasn't something they could block.
The two of them carefully observed for a while, and when they felt that the time was right, they nodded at each other, indicating that they could open the cauldron.
Wei Shudan took out a yellow flag from behind him, holding it with both hands, he waved it. Suddenly, dozens of stones beside the pit flew up. In an instant, it was like a gate had been opened, and steam rolled out and surged over.
At the same time, Liang Changgong cast the Heaven and Earth Leaf in his hand into the air. The golden leaf spread out and floated in front of him. Immediately, a hundred feet wide golden curtain hung down, blocking the path of the cauldron.
Even though the statue of Yi Ya was suppressed, he had obtained the remnant soul of Yi Ya, and he knew a bit about crafting artifacts. He knew that if the two of them wanted to refine it into a treasure, they would have to put in materials. At that time, they would have to open the door of the cauldron, and that would be his chance.
Thus, in these two months, even though a lot of his essence energy was used up, he had been gritting his teeth and not moving, enduring bitterly.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that the cauldron door was wide open, and the path to escape was right in front of him. How could he hesitate for even a moment? He immediately circulated the mana in his body and used his escape technique. A black escape light rose into the air and charged out.
However, just as he charged forward, he saw a curtain of golden light blocking the door of the cauldron, blocking his path.
It was already too late to make a move, but at this point, how could he retreat? He snorted, and relying on the body of the artifact, he rammed into it.
A loud sound rang out, and only waves of rumbling could be heard. Even the gravel on the ground of the furnace cave jumped slightly. The World Leaf swayed repeatedly, and the golden light it emitted continuously rippled like water, as if it had suffered an extremely ferocious charge.
Liang Changgong felt his chest tighten, and he said in shock, "How can this thing have such strong mana?"
Wei Shudan saw him like this and frowned. He quickly formed a spell and said, "Dao brother, don't panic, I'll help you."
Liang Changgong nodded. The two of them activated their magic power together and poured it into the Heaven and Earth Leaf. This magic treasure suddenly trembled, and on the body of the leaf, rays of golden light shot out. It was so dazzling that it forced one's eyes to be blinded.
However, they weren't the original owner of the Heaven and Earth Leaf, so they could only use such a shallow method to control the treasure. They weren't like Zhang Yan, who didn't need to use much mana to unleash the treasure's power to the extreme.
The statue of Yi Ya kept charging, but it couldn't break through the golden barrier set by the Heaven and Earth Leaf. It couldn't help but be furious. If it was at its peak, how could a mere profound artifact stop it?
With a roar, it waved its sleeves without caring about the consumption of its Qi. For a moment, lightning rained down, shaking the Heaven and Earth Leaf. The golden barrier gradually shrunk, and after the time it took to eat a meal, it had shrunk from the original hundred feet to fifty to sixty feet.
Seeing such a situation, Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan's foreheads were covered in sweat.
Right now, they were already using all their strength, but they still couldn't stop the statue, not to mention taking time to put in the precious material.
The two of them couldn't help but regret. If it wasn't because they were worried that the 'Separation and Reunion Refined Fire' in the statue would be contaminated by the furnace fire and destroy a rare precious material, they wouldn't have opened the furnace so early.
If they were ten days later, the item's essence would have been completely used up, and they wouldn't have to work so hard.
They were complaining in their hearts, the statue of Yi Ya wasn't having a good time either.
One must know that the furnace fire in the pit hadn't been extinguished, and was still licking at his body. Without the protection of mana, he already felt like he couldn't hold on much longer. Just as he was fretting, he suddenly felt a hint of something outside of Mount Qi Deer that seemed to be resonating with him. He couldn't help but be startled. He knew there must be a reason, and silently examined it. He couldn't help but be delighted, and thought to himself, "So it's still nearby. If I can use it to activate the Golden Bridge, I should be able to escape!"
Once the door of the furnace opened, he actually felt the location of the statue outside of Mount Qi Deer. But this item was too far away. If it was before, they would be able to sense each other and activate their supernatural powers.
But now that he was trapped for two months, his essence was greatly depleted, he needed to slowly guide the Dao to have a chance of success.
Right now, he couldn't care too much, he had this life-saving straw, how could he let it go? He pretended to attack while channeling his mana, wanting to guide the item to fly over.
At this moment beside the Heavenly Cauldron, Zhang Yan suddenly felt something, his eyes opened wide, and he woke up from his meditation. He frowned slightly.
Just Now, he suddenly felt a disturbance in his spiritual opportunity, as if there was a cultivator casting a spell nearby. Other than him, there was only Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan.
He waved his sleeves, stood up, and walked to the side of the Heavenly Cauldron. Looking down, the deep pit seemed to be boiling, there was the sound of water boiling, the smoke spread out, and gradually covered the high slope, it was a blur.
Zhang Yan had seen the refining of a treasure once, he knew that this was the sign of opening the door of the furnace. But seeing that the door did not close for a long time, he couldn't help but think, "When Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan went down, they said that if the refining was successful, it would take at least half a year, at most a year, and they would almost be able to refine the statue. But now it has only been two months, it is impossible to succeed, something must have happened."
He stood still, and used his mind to communicate with the Qian Kun Leaf. After a while, a ray of light flashed across his eyes, he snorted coldly, raised his hand, and a ray of spiritual light flew out. In a flash, it entered the pit, and after a few hundred feet, it found the location of the Qian Kun Leaf and rushed over.
In just a short while, it was already in front of the Qian Kun Leaf. The spiritual light suddenly shot over, and in the blink of an eye, it merged into the body of the treasure. With the help of Zhang Yan, the power of the Qian Kun Leaf instantly increased, and the golden light shone brightly.
Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan suddenly felt the pressure on them decrease, and seeing the strange state of the Qian Kun Leaf, they guessed that it was Zhang Yan who made the move, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Wei Shudan hurriedly shouted, "Liang Changgong, let us quickly throw the precious materials in, and then quickly close the door of the furnace."
Liang Changgong responded, and with a scoop of his hand, he pulled up the banner behind him, and waved it repeatedly. The precious materials that were prepared beforehand were swept up by a gust of wind, and thrown into the door of the furnace.
At this time, the advantage of the Qian Kun Leaf could be seen. Although it blocked the statue of Yi Ya, the precious materials passed through it without any hindrance.
The statue of Yi Ya suddenly saw the change in the Qian Kun Leaf, and how could it not know what was going on? It got up madly, and charged forward. Just Now, its essence and qi were already exhausted, and Just Now, after a series of blind movements, it was already like a lamp that had run out of oil, and its momentum was gradually declining.
Liang Changgong felt its change, and his spirit was roused. He said, "Wei Shudan, quickly stabilize the door of the furnace, don't let him escape again!
The two of them raised the banner together, and waved it with all their might, and shouted together, "Seal!"
With a rumble, countless cave stones flew over, and closed the door of the furnace once again.
And that Qian Kun Leaf swayed, and also retracted its spiritual light. It fell from the sky, and returned to Liang Changgong's hand.
Exhaustion appeared on the faces of the two of them. What they did just now was no less than a fierce battle with someone. However, they also knew that the most dangerous hurdle was safely passed with Zhang Yan's help, and from now on, there was no longer any obstruction.
