The Xuan Bead was nowhere to be found. Yang Jian felt a little uneasy.
When he interrogated Kun Peng's essence soul, he did not obtain any information about the Cave Abode. Kun Peng even told Yang Jian about a few places with treasures. However, when he mentioned the Xuan Bead and the Cave Abode, Kun Peng's essence soul would shut up.
I have nothing to say to you. It's just that my skills are inferior to yours.
Furthermore …
Yang Jian felt that it was a little unreal that Kun Peng had died so easily.
It was so easy for Little Black to track it and so easy for it to be killed by his spear …
The so-called "easy" was relative. Yang Jian and Kun Peng had been chasing and fighting for more than a month. They had crossed half of the Chaos Sea. This was actually a long battle.
However, Yang Jian felt that he had not done his best. He had missed out on important aspects regarding Kun Peng.
How could Kun Peng, who had once escaped the joint pursuit of three Saints, be killed so easily?
"Forget it. Let's go to the Bone World to search."
Yang Jian muttered softly. However, halfway through the flight, he suddenly returned to the scene of Kun Peng's corpse disposal and hid in the dark to watch quietly.
He hid for half a year.
Yang Jian showed his surprising patience. He turned into a wisp of smoke and did not move in the Chaos aura. He watched as Kun Peng's corpse shrank. He looked at the pile of precious materials that had turned into a continuous mountain and the pieces of Kun Peng's flesh that were stored in the storage Dharma treasure.
During that period, jade talismans kept flying out of the Chaos Sea and communicating with Chu Qi. That was naturally Xinke, who had contacted Chu Qi, and was asking about the situation there regularly.
Nothing unusual?
"Did I guess wrong?" Yang Jian muttered. However, as long as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see a scene — a twisted black shadow walked out of Kun Peng's remnant body and killed the crowd with a raise of his hand.
Seeing that the process of disposing of the corpse was about to enter the final stage, and the Cave Abode was about to appear, Yang Jian was even more focused on the situation in front of him.
Another half a month later, only one-tenth of Kun Peng's body was left. From that mountain-like body, a stone gate was dug out of Kun Peng's body.
Yang Jian was still waiting for the situation to change when he suddenly saw a silver light shoot out from the gap of the stone door. Before anyone could stop it, it shot straight towards Yang Jian's hiding place.
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Screech!
The silver light transformed into a foot-long silver eagle that stood on Yang Jian's shoulder in high spirits, completely exposing Yang Jian's hiding place.
"It's me."
Yang Jian said in a low voice and flew out from the dark. Chu Qi frowned and said coldly, "Are you worried about me?"
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just worried that something might happen here, so I deliberately hid and waited."
Yang Jian explained with a bitter smile. He raised his hand and patted the eagle's head twice. The eagle comfortably shrank its head and squatted on Yang Jian's shoulder for a while.
Chu Qi did not say anything more. Yang Jian slowly walked to the stone gate and signaled the surrounding Spirit Race experts to continue.
"What is this?" Chu Qi asked in a low voice. She also noticed that something was wrong.
"A place for people to live," Yang Jian said. "Let's go in and take a look?"
Chu Qi nodded slightly, and a scimitar appeared in her hand. She gestured for Yang Jian to follow behind her.
Yang Jian chuckled and walked forward. He had already used his divine sense to explore this Cave Abode before, and there was no aura fluctuation in this Cave Abode.
He pushed open the stone door, and what entered his eyes were two shining stone walls, as well as a long tunnel.
The stone walls seemed to be made of some kind of ancient treasure, and they were imprinted with incomparably complicated array patterns. Faintly, these array patterns had the effect of concentrating and calming the mind. As he stepped into the corridor, his mind became inexplicably calm.
But it was clear that these array patterns did not stop there.
After walking for a hundred and fifty feet, they reached the end of the corridor. Right in front of them was a jade screen, and there were paths to the left and right.
One on the left and one on the right, the two of them began to explore with tacit understanding, and then gathered behind the screen.
A small and exquisite palace appeared in front of them. The palace only had four corner pillars. The palace was surrounded by a layer of light film, and the outside was the flesh and blood of the Kun Peng.
The palace was ten feet long and wide, and there was a prayer mat in the center. Below the prayer mat was a large piece of light red jade, and there were complicated array patterns on it.
There were a few empty bookshelves in the left corner, and a stone bed on the right. Apart from these, there was nothing else.
Yang Jian slowly walked to the center of the praying mat and looked around. What entered his eyes were layers upon layers of Array Formation Patterns.
His expression was obviously a little gloomy. He raised his hand to destroy these array patterns, but in the end, he sighed softly and put his hands down.
Glancing at Chu Qi, who looked very calm, Yang Jian sorted out his emotions and decided to change the topic. He did not want her to think too much.
He had finally gotten rid of the hatred, he did not want to fall into it again.
Yang Jian said, "Perhaps this is a cave abode that was swallowed by the Kun Peng. Perhaps someone opened up a cave abode in the Kun Peng's body and lived here."
"This is where the Kun Peng's heart meridian is." Chu Qi softly denied Yang Jian's "perhaps". "In the time I was dismantling the Kun Peng's body, I discovered a great array inside its body. It is an array formed by its own bloodline, and this place is the eye of the array."
Yang Jian instantly fell silent.
He had naturally discovered this. He had wanted to hide it, but he did not think that she would notice these details while dismantling the Kun Peng.
Chu Qi asked calmly, "Master, is the Kun Peng not dead yet?"
"Oh? Why do you say that? "Yang Jian pretended to be surprised and asked.
Chu Qi said, "Other than the Kun Peng itself, who else could directly set up such a great array inside the Kun Peng's body? This great array clearly extracts vitality and Dharma powers from everywhere into the eye of the array, and the eye of the array is the most important heart meridian? "
"You mean that the Kun Peng set up a great array and refined itself?" Yang Jian pretended to be confused, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Chu Qi nodded in agreement and said in a low voice, "Like a cicada shedding its shell, it took off its shell and created a new body."
"Why did he do that?"
"Becoming a Saint." Chu Qi's eyelids drooped slightly. "Although the Kun Peng's body is strong, the Connate Dao Body is the body that is most suitable for the Great Dao. Moreover, the Xuan Tortoise's Xuan Bead is not here. I originally thought that you had taken it away, but after dissecting the Kun Peng's body completely, there was no aura of the Xuan Bead at all."
Yang Jian was a little speechless. He simply did not want to hide it from her.
"Actually, when I was fighting with the Kun Peng, I always felt that his strength was more or less inferior to his reputation as a Demon Master," Yang Jian said. "The main point is … his reaction is too slow."
Chu Qi nodded gently. "This might just be the body that the Kun Peng abandoned."
"But how do you explain the Essence Soul?"
"I heard that there is a secret technique in ancient times that can produce a new Essence Soul from the Essence Soul. From there, it can break through one's realm."
Yang Jian placed his hands behind his back and looked around. "If that's the case, it should be really troublesome."
Chu Qi said, "With the Kun Peng's temperament, after he left his old body, he would definitely abandon this powerful old body. He knows that he has made too many enemies. Perhaps … he might be hiding in the Primordial World now and waiting for an opportunity to do something. "
"Don't scare me." Yang Jian patted the little eagle's head. The latter gently spread its wings, and its silver-white wings emitted a holy light.
"We should inform them about this matter." Chu Qi looked at Yang Jian. "I'll return to the Black Spirit Kingdom to discuss this matter with them."
"Alright. I'll go to the Hundred Mountains to subdue that faction." Yang Jian shook his head and felt that the future was difficult.
It was as if a pair of eyes that could kill him at any time was staring at his neck from a place he could not see …
With the Kun Peng's intelligence, it was very likely that he had already made a name for himself in the Primordial World …
"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much," Yang Jian said. "I have to return to the Primordial World later and remind the Jade Void Palace and the Grand Supreme Elder to make preparations early, lest they fall into a trap for no reason."
Chu Qi was a little distracted. He seemed to be searching for something in his memories and only replied softly.
When the two of them walked out of the stone door, they looked at each other. Yang Jian only saw determination in her eyes, while Chu Qi saw helplessness and fatigue in Yang Jian's eyes.
Chu Qi said, "Don't force yourself too much."
"I'm really not used to you being so gentle."
"Hmph." Chu Qi swept his sleeves and turned to walk to the side. Yang Jian scratched his head and found a random place to sit. He began to tease the little eagle with the Kun Peng's flesh.
After a few more days, the Kun Peng's corpse was finally disposed of. The skeleton was shattered, the blood was collected, and the flesh and blood were cut into small pieces to seal. There were also the treasures that were dug out … All of them were stored in the storage Dharma treasure. There were still thousands of Dharma treasures before they could be filled.
Chu Qi brought the Dharma treasures and returned to Xuandu City first.
Yang Jian had delayed for more than half a year, but he still embarked on the path back to the Bone World. He wanted to use the fastest time to unify the thousands of factions in the Hundred Mountains. He had to do it without bloodshed.
Too many treasures had been separated from the Kun Peng's body, but there were no precious treasures.
That was not right.
It was not just the Black Turtle Bead. The Kun Peng should have at least two or three Connate Cardinal treasures in its hands. For example, the missing Magus-Slaying Sword might have fallen into the hands of the Demon Master.
All sorts of signs showed that the Kun Peng had really undergone a "cicada molting". What Yang Jian had killed was only the body of the Kun Peng that had been shed.
This was the Kun Peng, but it was not the Kun Peng.
Yang Jian had destroyed the Kun Peng's past, but he did not know where the Kun Peng's current body was. In fact, Yang Jian vaguely felt that he had seen the true body of the Demon Master, the Kun Peng, somewhere, but he did not know it.
For some reason, he broke out in cold sweat.
"Who could it be?"
Yang Jian kept pondering.
From the Cave Abode that he had investigated just now, it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
The Demon Master, the Kun Peng …
The Chaos Sea was boundless. To find an expert who had the intention to hide without any clues about the Kun Peng's new body was even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Forget it. Let the Saints worry about these matters."
Yang Jian looked at the location marked by the Ink Shuttle and rushed towards the Hundred Mountains. If not for the fact that the journey was not stable, he really wanted to return to the Primordial World to report this matter.
Half a month later, Yang Jian entered the hundred magnificent mountains and stopped in a cultivation teahouse. His mind returned to the incarnation of the Primordial World.
He stood up and was about to head to the Jade Void Palace when he heard a shout beside him …
"Hey! Why are you leaving without saying goodbye? "
