This was also Yan Zhaoge's first time personally witnessing and coming into contact with the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
But just by looking at the cauldron, he knew that there was no mistake. This was one of the treasures of the Pill Hall of the Heavenly Court of the Divine Palace, the Profound Sky Purple Gold Cauldron.
Yan Zhaoge did not rush forward immediately.
He looked around and did not say a word.
After carefully observing that furnace for a moment longer, Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, suppressing the greed within his heart as he instead retreated, retreating once more amidst the layers of purple clouds.
"What? Is there a problem?" Feng Yunsheng asked.
Yan Zhaoge answered, "I can't be sure, but the situation looks a little strange. Let's be a little more cautious."
Feng Yunsheng, Ahu, and Xiao Ai all looked curiously at the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace.
Although they were currently in the sea of purple clouds, they were still at the edge.
Looking at the pill furnace from here, it could still be seen clearly, but looking out from the pill furnace, it would be hard to discover the position of Yan Zhaoge and the others.
After looking for a while, Ah Hu scratched his head and said, "Young Master, are you worried that there are other people here because of those newly concocted pills?"
"But no matter how I look, there is no one else here. Even if there was someone who got here first, they should have already left. The precious furnace is still here."
The surroundings of the pill furnace were enshrouded in mist, and the powerful yet restrained energy fluctuations still existed.
Even those with extremely high cultivation would find it difficult to hide in such an environment.
If they could really conceal themselves under such circumstances, the other party's cultivation base would be far from what Yan Zhaoge and the others could currently deal with. Whether or not they were cautious would no longer matter.
"That is only one aspect," Yan Zhaoge slowly shook his head, his gaze focused on the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
There were some things that only he could see.
It was true that there was no enemy ambush in front of them, and there were no special defensive restrictions. The Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace's spirituality was restrained as if it was in a deep slumber, and it didn't have any offensive capabilities.
However, the pill furnace before him gave Yan Zhaoge an extremely strange feeling.
It was as if the furnace was still in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Pill Hall and had never moved.
However, the surrounding environment was clearly not the Pill Hall. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yan Zhaoge not to recognise it.
At first, Yan Zhaoge had even thought that it was a misconception on his part.
However, even after confirming it a few times, that feeling still lingered, unceasingly warning Yan Zhaoge.
Since it was not a misperception, Yan Zhaoge tried to find the reason for it. Still, he found nothing in the end.
Not only did this not cause Yan Zhaoge to doubt his earlier judgment, it instead caused him to be even more vigilant.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Yan Zhaoge decided to wait and see, even if he had to give up his advantage over Fu Ting and the others completely for this.
Right now, it was clearly not a matter of first come first serve.
While they did not understand, the others still chose to believe in Yan Zhaoge's judgement, calming their hearts and waiting patiently.
After an unknown period of time, the purple sea of clouds on the other side suddenly fluctuated. A golden phoenix flapped its wings and flew out, arriving in front of the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
The phoenix silhouette dissipated, revealing Fu Ting and the others.
When Fu Ting saw the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, her face also revealed an expression of joy and shock.
But soon, the expression on her face changed to one of puzzlement, and then she looked around.
The other Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners also revealed puzzled expressions.
Logically speaking, there should have been someone who had arrived here before them earlier. It was very likely that it was that strange Yan Zhaoge.
Why was he nowhere to be seen?
Yan Zhaoge and the others were situated amidst the purple sea of clouds, the Myriad Dragon Palace retracting its seven-coloured radiance as everything appeared ordinary and unremarkable. Fu Ting and the others were hard pressed to discover their tracks.
From the perspective of Fu Ting's group, there was only a dense purple sea of clouds all around them, not a single figure to be seen.
The Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace stood silently amidst the empty space before them, dense steam rising from its surface.
No one was lying in ambush, nor were there any difficulties or obstacles that had to be broken through.
There was no need for anyone to act as cannon fodder and open a path for them.
That furnace also did not seem to have an owner as it showed no intention of rejecting outsiders like them.
Logically speaking, there was no such thing as the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind.
Fu Ting hesitated somewhat for a time.
If something happened to Yan Zhaoge and the others along the way, being trapped amidst the purple sea of clouds, it would be equivalent to them surpassing them, regaining the lead.
If they hesitated now, it would be equivalent to wasting their time and chance.
Their competitors were not just Yan Zhaoge's side.
Still, if Yan Zhaoge had already arrived here before them but had retreated for some unknown reason, they might very well have stepped on a landmine by recklessly approaching the pill furnace.
"Or perhaps he is worried that it will be difficult to leave after obtaining the pill furnace, thus intending to clear away our enemies before obtaining the treasure?" Fu Ting frowned, scanning their surroundings.
A Seeing Divinity Martial Saint beside her now said, "Just in case, I will go and obtain the treasure. Junior apprentice-sister Fu, you stay vigilant here. If something really happens, you will be able to react in time."
He had good intentions, but Fu Ting could not bear for him to take the risk, "If there really is danger, my chances of survival are the greatest. I should still go. Senior apprentice-brother, you guys help me hold the fort."
Having made up her mind, Fu Ting no longer hesitated as she approached the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
Now, however, fluctuations suddenly emanated from the surrounding purple sea of clouds.
Fu Ting halted, gazing back as she saw a virtually transparent, ethereal sword-light shoot out from amidst the purple sea of clouds.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes slightly.
After the sword-light had ceased, the figures of a few people could be seen.
Their leader was a girl who looked even younger than Fu Ting. She wore green clothes and had features that were like a painting. While she was not as dazzling as Fu Ting, she possessed a natural air of elegance.
"Being able to catch up within such a short period of time is not just due to the speed of movement techniques. Is it the Spatial Heavenly Scripture or the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual?" Fu Ting's gaze focused slightly, "It looks more like the Immortal Trapping Sword. Are you a descendant of the Prime Clear lineage?"
That green-clothed girl first glanced at the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace before sighing in relief, "It is good that we made it in time."
She stared curiously at the furnace, "This is the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace?"
After a while, this green-clothed girl turned to look at Fu Ting, smiling, "I am indeed a descendant of the Prime Clear lineage. Who are you?"
Fu Ting said mildly, "World beyond Worlds, Kunlun Mountain's Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff, Fu Ting."
That green-clothed girl came to a realisation, "Right. Father told me before that when encountering descendants of the Jade Clear and Grand Clear lineages, I have to report my name."
She coughed dryly, straightening her expression as she said, "Roving Jade Heavens, Green Duckweed Mountain's Minor White Peak's Spirit Leaf Cave, Gao Qing."
After introducing herself, she blinked, "Fu Ting, this name …"
Hearing this amidst the purple sea of clouds, Yan Zhaoge thought, "The Roving Jade Heavens should be the world where descendants of the Prime Clear lineage reside?"
Purple Zoysia Cliff's Roving Jade Palace was where the dao arena of the Prime Clear lineage's founder, the Lord of Numinous Treasure, had been located.
While there had always been a great debate as to whether it had been held on Golden Turtle Island, Penglai Island or some other island, hearing the name 'Roving Jade Heavens', it was unquestionably a legacy of the Prime Clear lineage.
As for the name 'Green Duckweed Mountain', it must have been derived from the Lord of Numinous Treasure's past sword, the Green Duckweed Sword.
Fu Ting raised her eyebrows slightly, "Qingping Mountain, surnamed Gao?" (To be continued)
