Tossing the dark green bamboo cane into the Internal Crystal Furnace for refinement, having made all the necessary arrangements, Yan Zhaoge no longer had to keep an eye on it.
As time passed, the furnace would naturally be opened when the time came.
After a long period of trekking, Yan Zhaoge's group finally arrived at the Jade Sun Mountain Range's Solitary Heart Peak.
Looking from afar, the southern hillside was covered with a fiery red forest. The branches and leaves rose and fell as the wind blew, as if there was a raging fire burning in the mountains.
"Heavenly Flame Trees, and such a dense Heavenly Flame Forest at that," Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly.
With the guidance of the map recorded on the jade bead necklace, he could save himself the time to explore the Lone Heart Peak, and he went straight to the mountain stream below.
A huge rift formed between the mountain peaks. A large number of Heavenly Flame Trees hung above the rift, their leaves blotting out the sky.
Yan Zhaoge entered the rift valley, heading downwards.
Looking up, the rift above was narrow to begin with. Now that it was blocked by the branches and leaves, the canyon was instantly plunged into darkness. Only sporadic sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
When they reached the depths of the canyon, it was almost impossible to see the light of day all year round.
The Heavenly Flame Tree was red all year round, and it almost never shed its leaves.
Without sunlight, the environment in the canyon was unusually cold and damp.
After observing for a moment, Yan Zhaoge came to a realisation, "No wonder there aren't any sects or powerful martial practitioners established here."
When many Heavenly Flame Trees gathered together, they would breathe in the vigorous life energy of the wood element and the fiery essence of fire. They were extremely hot and Yang.
On the other hand, the valley below was filled with dense Yin Qi and cold Qi.
Seeing the environment here for the first time, Yan Zhaoge had still thought that being able to form a rarely seen land of the extremes of ice and fire, it would be a rare land of spiritual qi.
But after careful observation, he discovered that the Yang Qi and Yin Qi had formed a strange balance. Not only did they not help each other, but they also canceled each other out.
As a result, the geography of the Lonely Heart Peak was extremely mediocre. Very few people would be interested in it.
The Northern Ocean Clone remained in the Myriad Dragon Palace to cultivate, assailing the bottleneck of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm.
Exiting the hall, Yan Zhaoge sat on Pan-Pan's back, allowing him to descend to the bottom of the mountain stream.
After searching for a while in the mountain stream, he found the karst cave that the image on the jade necklace indicated.
As Yan Zhaoge's group entered, they discovered that this karst cave was extremely deep and secluded, also extending in all directions.
In the karst cave, it was hard to tell which direction to go.
However, Yan Zhaoge already had a plan in mind as he cautiously took out a small brocade box.
He opened the brocade box, and immediately, a golden light shone in the dark cave. With the help of the golden light, he could see a faint purple aura rising from the brocade box.
Yan Zhaoge gazed at the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill within the box, "If my guess is correct …"
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw the Spirit Pill in the brocade box tremble slightly. Then, it flew up into the air.
Yan Zhaoge did not stop this Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill from flying out of the brocade box. Instead, his spirits rose as he followed after it.
The grade of the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill was too high. The spiritual qi and spirituality in this golden pill was far from being as simple as it looked.
However, due to the long passage of time, in order to preserve its spirituality, this Golden Core had sealed off the leakage of its own spiritual energy.
In other words, the Spiritual Core was like a life form that was currently in a deep slumber.
It was like an animal hibernating, concealing its own vitality and spirituality to avoid the corrosion of the outside world.
Therefore, on the way here, Yan Zhaoge had a thought.
If this place really led to the secret treasure that Sun Zhongda spoke of.
If that secret treasure really was a supreme treasure like the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
If this Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill had indeed been concocted by the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
If a greater part of the spirituality of this pill could still be preserved.
Then, here, this Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill might be able to point out a path for him.
There were too many prerequisites and assumptions here. If any of them failed, the plan would fail.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge was very relaxed as he did not hold any especially high hopes. At most, he would think of other methods to slowly search for it after failing.
Still, it looked like his luck was not bad. From the current state of the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill, his earlier plan had actually succeeded?
"The reaction of this Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill is equivalent to proving Sun Zhongda's guess," Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up.
Sun Zhongda guessed that the secret treasure that he was looking for was likely the supreme pill dao treasure of the Pill Hall of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
Still, this was just a guess at the end of the day. Before there was any concrete evidence, it was still just a guess at the end of the day.
Through his experiments with the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill, Yan Zhaoge had confirmed that this guess was likely correct.
Firstly, a path leading to the secret treasure was indeed concealed within this cave.
Secondly, the pill furnace or medicinal cauldron used to concoct this Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill existed within the secret treasure.
Then, there was an eighty percent chance that this pill furnace was the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
Being able to have such a miraculous effect, engraving such a deep mark on the pill, being able to cause the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill to react even after such a long period of wear and tear, possibly being extremely far away, this was not something that ordinary pill concoction furnaces could achieve.
Finally, even if it was not the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace, it should still be some other furnace that was not inferior to it in terms of quality.
This secret treasure indeed existed. There was evidence to back it up as it was priceless.
Yan Zhaoge naturally had to try his luck with such a fortuitous encounter.
If the Pill Hall still existed, if he could find its whereabouts on this trip, its value would be immeasurable.
Of course, this trip might also be dangerous as there would be many competitors for him.
Yan Zhaoge followed behind the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill, looking at it as it flew through the air.
As they advanced, it could be clearly noticed that the speed at which the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill was gradually increasing.
After traversing the cave that extended in all directions for a while, the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill finally came to a halt, hovering amidst a stalactite as it shook slightly in mid-air.
Yan Zhaoge halted, silently sensing it.
Even with his sensory abilities, it was only after a long time that he discovered something.
Yan Zhaoge did not stand on ceremony as the Cloud Commanding Spear appeared within his hands before he stabbed out at a stalactite.
That stalactite did not shatter as a small black dot appeared where the spear had touched it.
The black dot gradually expanded, turning into a jet-black crevice of space.
Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly. A tiny crevice had once been ripped open in space here, forming a dimensional passageway.
Afterwards, the crevice had healed. Still, like a wound that had formed a scar, traces could still be seen.
Yan Zhaoge's earlier spear strike had reopened that wound.
After keeping the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill and the Cloud Commanding Spear, Yan Zhaoge leapt into the Myriad Dragon Palace. The Myriad Dragon Palace transformed into a streak of light, shooting swiftly into that crevice of space.
Passing through numerous layers of space, Yan Zhaoge landed within a foreign dimension.
Just feeling the spiritual qi flow within this foreign dimension slightly, Yan Zhaoge knew that this place was extremely massive.
Unlike the foreign dimensions that he had been to before, the dimensions here were exceptionally stable. Even if numerous Martial Saint experts battled here, the foreign dimension might still not shatter.
Rather than saying that this was a foreign dimension, it would be better to say that it was a world of its own.
Being able to form such a dimension meant that there was definitely an extraordinary existence here. It was either a person or a treasure. (To be continued.)
