Night Essence Celestial River, Orchid Counter Star, Thorn Tooth Lake.
Because of the huge bounty offered by Night Essence Celestial River, countless cultivators flocked to Thorn Tooth Lake. At this moment, cultivators could be found in any corner of Thorn Tooth Lake.
The most difficult thing about starry sky cultivation was cultivation resources. Therefore, the reward offered by Thorn Tooth Lake could make ordinary cultivators suffocate with excitement. Moreover, even if they failed to complete the task, they could still obtain some resources from Thorn Tooth Lake. Thus, it was only natural for those loose cultivators to swarm in.
In a stone chamber deep within the Thorn Tooth Lake, Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue each sat in a corner. Since Yan Ji had been healing herself, Nalan Ruxue and Yan Ji did not have much in common, as such she simply closed her eyes and cultivated.
"Do you use a Transfer Talisman every time you come in and out of this place?" Yan Ji, who was in the middle of healing, suddenly opened her eyes, and abruptly asked a question. After so many days of recuperation, her injuries had greatly improved.
Nalan Ruxue opened her eyes and shook her head, "No, I usually go out with a very hidden exit. The level of the Concealment Array Formation at the exit is very high. No matter how many times I go in and out, I can't find the exit every time I come back. So, I usually use a Teleportation Talisman to come in, and only leave from that exit. "
"I'm leaving." Yan Ji said with a sigh.
Nalan Ruxue frowned, "If you go out now, you'll just be courting death. There are many rooms here. If you don't want to cultivate with me, you can find a quiet room to cultivate. "
Yan Ji calmly spoke up, "It's not that, it's because if I stay here, then both of us would die."
Nalan Ruxue replied with a calm voice, "Don't worry. I know the origin of that Shangguan Man 'er. Her father, Shangguan Xiang, is the Celestial River King of Night Essence Celestial River. A Celestial River King wouldn't be able to find this place, I'm sure. "
Yan Ji stood up and shook her head, "You only know that Shangguan Xiang is the Celestial River King of Night Essence Celestial River. Do you know who Shangguan Xiang's elder brother is?"
Seeing Nalan Ruxue looking at her in confusion, Yan Ji explained, "Shangguan Xiang's elder brother is called Shangguan Fei. He's the Starry Sky Heavenly Emperor of Nine Jewels Starry Sky. If I hadn't killed Shangguan Man 'er, I wouldn't have known about this. "
Nalan Ruxue was shocked by Yan Ji's words, and was unable to speak even a single word for a long time. The Starry Sky Great Emperor was obviously a legendary Eternal Realm powerhouse. Although her place was hidden, if an Eternal Realm powerhouse came, how could she hide? What Yan Ji said was right, if the two of them continued to hide in this place, then it was very likely that they would end up dead.
"Tell me where is the exit." Yan Ji on seeing Nalan Ruxue startled, directly asked.
Nalan Ruxue did not answer Yan Ji's words. She also stood up and hurried out of the house.
Yan Ji on seeing this also followed Nalan Ruxue out. Nalan Ruxue turned around seven or eight times before finally entering a bigger house.
On the stone wall in the middle of the room, there was a huge Array Formation Display. Nalan Ruxue looked at this Array Formation Display and muttered, "Even if we leave, we won't be able to escape."
Yan Ji also stared blankly at the Array Formation Display. The Array Formation Display showed the movements within the Thorn Tooth Lake. At this time, on the display screen of the array formation, there were moving figures everywhere. Even if no Eternal-level powerhouses came here, just like Nalan Ruxue said, they wouldn't be able to leave.
"Do you still want to leave now?" Nalan Ruxue looked at Yan Ji and asked again.
Yan Ji remained silent. She knew that it didn't matter if she left or not. If she left, it would save Nalan Ruxue's life. Therefore, she was willing to leave. But now, once she left, someone would immediately search her soul. At the same time, the matter of Nalan Ruxue staying here would also be exposed.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Yan Ji spoke with an apologetic tone.
Nalan Ruxue shook her head, "It's nothing to blame."
After hesitating for a while, she added, "Yan Ji, have you seen him since you came to the starry skies?"
Yan Ji's eyes flashed with a bit of loneliness. After she entered the Tian Continent, she had always wanted to find Ning Cheng. But she never found him. Her personality was a bit different from Nalan Ruxue's. If she liked someone, then she liked him. If she didn't like him, then she didn't like him.
"Boom ….." A roar erupted outside, followed by a violent tremor. Even Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue felt this tremor.
Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue looked at each other. Both of them understood that someone would find this place sooner or later. The only reason why no one came looking for them now was because of the Concealment Array. Once Yan Ji said that an Eternal-level powerhouse came here, even the Concealment Array Formation would be useless.
As the roars grew more and more intense, Nalan Ruxue gave out a sigh, "Actually, there's a teleportation array here. Unfortunately, this teleportation array can't be activated at all."
Yan Ji quickly asked, "Where's the teleportation array?"
Nalan Ruxue walked to the huge array formation display and pressed a button. The array formation display screen split open from the middle, revealing a stone door that only one person could enter.
Yan Ji followed Nalan Ruxue inside, and the array formation display screen closed again. The place where the two of them entered was a house with a radius of about ten feet. Nalan Ruxue took out a simple looking array flag and raised it. A moment later, a teleportation array suddenly appeared in the middle of the empty house.
The teleportation array exuded a powerful Dao Charm. Even if Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue couldn't understand it and didn't know how powerful the Dao Charm was, they understood that this teleportation array wasn't a simple ancient teleportation array.
At the four corners of the teleportation array were four huge grooves. Yan Ji understood at a glance that these grooves were places for spirit stones and the like.
"Why doesn't this teleportation array work? Is it broken? "Yan Ji quickly asked.
Nalan Ruxue shook her head and said, "I guess this teleportation array shouldn't be broken. I'm afraid that the grade of the starry sky crystals used for teleportation is too high. I don't have such a thing. I tried using Perpetual Moon Pills and even top-grade starry sky crystals, but none of them could activate this teleportation array. If I'm not wrong, this teleportation array either uses top-grade starry sky crystals or pure Permanent Essence Pills to power it. "
"Permanent Essence Pills?" Yan Ji's heart moved and asked.
Hearing Yan Ji's excited tone, Nalan Ruxue quickly said, "Do you have Permanent Essence Pills?"
Permanent Essence Pills, for ordinary cultivators, weren't easy to obtain. Generally, only cultivators in the Heaven Seated Realm or above could obtain Permanent Essence Pills for cultivation or trading. Ordinary cultivators, even if they could obtain them, only a few would.
"I do have some Permanent Essence Pills." Yan Ji nodded. She had obtained Shangguan Man 'er's ring, which contained a lot of Permanent Essence Pills and Perpetual Moon Pills.
"But …." Nalan Ruxue looked at the four huge grooves with some hesitation. Even if Permanent Essence Pills could be used, these four grooves contained at least tens of thousands of Permanent Essence Pills. How could Yan Ji have so many Permanent Essence Pills?
"Boom Boom" The rumbling sound grew louder and louder, as if it wanted to turn the entire underground space upside down.
Yan Ji stepped onto the teleportation array and said to Nalan Ruxue, "You come up too."
After Nalan Ruxue stepped onto the teleportation array, Yan Ji raised her hand and shot out several pill shadows. The next moment, the four grooves quickly filled with Permanent Essence Pills.
"Kacha …." When the sound came from outside, the Permanent Essence Pills in the four grooves of the teleportation array started to spin violently. Four streams of pure Starry Sky Spirit Qi rushed out and seeped into the teleportation array.
Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue, who stood on the teleportation array, could clearly feel a more violent force rolling up from the ground. The two looked at each other in horror and subconsciously clenched each other's hands. This violent force definitely couldn't be achieved with the tens of thousands of Permanent Essence Pills that Yan Ji took out.
At this moment, the two understood that the Permanent Essence Pills in the four grooves could only stimulate the Starry Sky Spirit Vein under the teleportation array.
"Buzz ….." A harsh sound emerged, and Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue found themselves wrapped in a white light. A moment later, a wave of dizziness washed over them, and the two instantly fainted without even a shred of consciousness.
After the two teleported away, the teleportation array in the house returned to normal and quickly concealed itself with a concealment array formation.
Not knowing how long it took, Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue woke up at the same time. Nalan Ruxue stood up and swept out with her spiritual consciousness. After just a few breaths, she said, "This isn't Thorn Tooth Lake. We got teleported away, but I don't know where we are."
Yan Ji also stood up. She looked at the stone house where the two were, listened for a while, and said, "If I didn't guess wrong, we should be in the water."
"What should we do now?" Nalan Ruxue asked subconsciously. Having escaped death, she felt much better than before.
Yan Ji looked at the teleportation array, "The first thing we need to do now is to dismantle the main components of this teleportation array."
Nalan Ruxue quickly understood that Yan Ji was right. Only by dismantling this teleportation array could they consider the next step.
… …
Thousand Cry Star, Tipping Rainbow City, the main city of Night Essence Celestial River.
At this time, a blue-robed young cultivator with a light beard walked into Tipping Rainbow City's Trade Union. As soon as he entered the Trade Union, he saw the first eye-catching bounty poster on the huge task screen, with Yan Ji's image clearly visible.
The blue-robed cultivator angrily punched out and smashed the Trade Union's huge task screen into pieces. If not for his sanity, this punch would have destroyed the entire starry sky city. Just when everyone felt shocked, the blue-robed cultivator angrily said, "Whoever dares to touch even a strand of Yan Ji's hair, I will kill them."
After saying that, the blue-robed cultivator's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace. It wasn't until this moment that the entire Trade Union woke up. Someone dared to smash the Trade Union's Task Array Formation Screen. It was simply courting death! By the time several Trade Union Deacons rushed out, the cultivator who smashed the Task Array Formation Screen had already disappeared. Since they couldn't even see his shadow, how could they let him die?
… …
The blue-robed young cultivator naturally was Ning Cheng, who had just arrived at Night Essence Celestial River. When he saw that the Trade Union's task screen really showed him Yan Ji, he immediately became angry. With the intensity of the bounty, even if Yan Ji tried to hide, she would have nowhere to go. After smashing the Trade Union's Task Array Formation Screen, he immediately rushed towards Thorn Tooth Lake. He couldn't let anything happen to Yan Ji.
