After hearing Yu Ye's question, Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Coincidentally, the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace fell into my hands. Due to how important this matter was, I kept it a secret. I even hid it from you guys. Please forgive me, senior apprentice-sister."
He looked towards Nie Jingshen, "Please forgive me, senior apprentice-brother Nie."
"I'm ashamed to say this. An Immortal Realm treasure is so miraculous. Even after obtaining it for so many years, I still couldn't utilize it. Senior apprentice-uncle Yue never returned to the World beyond Worlds, while senior apprentice-uncle Long and the Profound Sovereign were always in seclusion."
The Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace would play a crucial role if he wanted to achieve something in the Pill Hall.
Since Yan Zhaoge invited Nie Jingshen, Yu Ye, and Mars Halberd, he didn't intend to hide it from them.
Even if Yu Ye didn't guess it, Yan Zhaoge would explain it to them later.
With his current cultivation, Yan Zhaoge wasn't too worried about the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace being exposed.
In fact, he believed that no matter if it was Gao Xuebo and the others who received Gao Qing's report, or the Brocade Emperor – Fu Yunchi who received Fu Ting's report, they would more or less suspect that Yan Zhaoge was the one who reaped the benefits in the past.
Of course, Yan Zhaoge wouldn't be modest if someone harbored ill intentions towards him.
However, he had gone through many considerations in selecting his companions to prevent any internal conflicts from occurring.
As expected, Yu Ye only asked. After receiving an affirmative answer, she nodded, "If that's the case, our chances have increased."
Then, she no longer focused her attention on Yan Zhaoge. Instead, she looked at the surrounding mist again. Her gaze gradually lost its focus, as if she was immersed in experiencing the profundities of this place.
Evidently, the disappearance of her fellow disciples originated from the Pill Hall, and had nothing to do with Yan Zhaoge. Naturally, Yu Ye wouldn't vent her anger on him.
"If master returns to the World beyond Worlds, even if you tell him about the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, it wouldn't be of much use." Nie Jingshen laughed, "Within the Jade Capital Crag, no one is proficient in alchemy."
"The Tranquil Profound Immortal has no problem activating the furnace. The only thing that matters is efficiency." Yan Zhaoge lifted his foot and strode forward, "However, let's talk about this after we've settled this matter."
It was just that while Yan Di and the others hadn't gained as much as Yan Zhaoge from refining and absorbing the medicinal qi within the seven-coloured light earlier, they had still benefited greatly.
However, it wasn't that easy to turn it into his own.
Other than Yan Di who also had outstanding attainments in alchemy, being able to use his own body as a furnace to rapidly refine the medicinal qi like Yan Zhaoge, the other three all needed time to accumulate their experience.
Time waits for no one, so he could only absorb it for now and slowly plan his next move.
Yan Zhaoge was the first to pass through the door amidst the mist, the world before him instantly becoming clear.
As Yan Di and the others followed him in, the majestic great hall was already standing before them.
The black palace floated alone in the void, and there were no pavilions around it.
Waves of black light spread out in all directions, shaking the void and faintly forming a spatial barrier boundary.
It was as if an independent world had formed with this hall as the center.
It was clearly unrealistic to want to enter this world from the endless void of the universe outside without knowing the gist of it.
Arriving in front of the main hall, a desolate and ancient aura assaulted his senses.
"Ever since the Great Calamity, it has always existed here, floating quietly until now … is it?" Yan Zhaoge glanced at the faint black light, "It doesn't look like it was corroded by the Nine Underworlds. However, it's different from what I remember."
"Is it because of the Great Calamity, or the Pill Hall's internal reason?"
As he was thinking, he turned his head and said to Yan Di and the others, "Let's go in. Our future is uncertain, so be careful. If we get separated, protect yourselves first. Remember what I told you on the way here."
"Those who enter first will be the first to encounter any traps. There are pros and cons to this," said Yan Zhaoge with a smile.
Nie Jingshen smiled indifferently.
Yu Ye was still in a daze, and looked like she was in a daze.
Mars Halberd shook his head, "Even so, those who arrive first will still have the advantage."
Yan Di also smiled and said, "Since we're already here, let's just take it easy."
"Yeah …" Yan Zhaoge hesitated for a while, and looked at Nie Jingshen, "However, we still have to be extra careful."
Nie Jingshen looked back, and Yan Zhaoge said, "We're all rather special. Perhaps we're the prey that they're looking for."
Yan Di and the others were deep in thought.
Nie Jingshen was a rare Earlier Heaven Nascent Form, and one of the existences with the best physique. Most of the time, the word "one of" could be removed.
In terms of physique, Yan Zhaoge's physique could be considered as above average.
However, after so many years of continuous cultivation, and constantly changing his physique, his physique might be the strongest human martial art practitioner's physique in history.
To exaggerate, even Goddess Nuwa, the creator of the ancient era, might be surprised if she saw him. She wouldn't expect a human with such a strong physique to appear in the race she created.
Yan Di's situation was similar to his, but not as exaggerated.
Although Mars Halberd was a weapon, the soul sealed within belonged to the expert Ye Yang. He was a True Immortal Emperor who had pushed open the Immortal Door.
Although he had transformed into Mars Halberd, he was still a Leakless Immortal Artifact.
According to the information everyone had, he might be the first Immortal Realm expert to get close to the Pill Hall after the incident.
In other words, he was the highest level of prey that the hunter who set up the trap had encountered so far.
Yan Zhaoge's understanding of Yu Ye was limited. However, when Yan Di contacted the Roving Jade Heavens to look for helpers, Gao Xuebo, Long Xueji, and the others had sent Yu Ye over.
After hearing it from Yan Di, Yan Zhaoge had a rough idea.
His senior apprentice-sister, who seemed to be absent from work, had her nature as such. She was passionate about martial arts and didn't care much about other matters. Her style was similar to the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang and Sikong Qing.
On the other hand, her Earlier Heaven Divine Soul was different from others.
After counting them, the five of them each had their own specialties in different aspects.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Everyone looked at each other and revealed a smile.
They didn't look down on him, but they weren't afraid either.
"You can also say that you can't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child." Yan Zhaoge chuckled and retracted his gaze from Nie Jingshen.
Actually, he was most worried about Nie Jingshen.
If his guess was correct, Nie Jingshen would be the easiest target.
Only, it wasn't easy to explain his guess. Therefore, it wasn't convenient to remind Nie Jingshen alone. Instead, he brought all five of them together, which served as a warning.
As everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the Pill Hall's main entrance.
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di looked at each other. Then, they extended their hands and pushed the heaven-like door in front of them.
The seemingly heavy door seemed to have no weight at all. Without any sound, it opened to the two sides.
In front of Yan Zhaoge, there was only darkness.
As he walked in, he suddenly felt the space around him changing.
When the light returned to his eyes, Yan Zhaoge looked around and realized that he was the only one left!
