"Perfected Lord of Purity and Magic …" Primogenitor Lingbao murmured. "He's an outstanding talent among the third-generation disciples of Yuxu Palace. His physical body has become a Saint. No wonder he's so powerful."
Having obtained the Aquamarine Palace and entered the Apotheosized World several times, Primogenitor Lingbao had a general understanding of Yang Jian's deeds. Fearing that Mengqi was unaware of the true Perfected Lord of Purity and Magic, he deliberately sighed.
However, Mengqi did not need his reminder. Yang Erlang's glorious deeds and image had long been engraved in his mind. It was the style he yearned for when choosing the Eight Nine Mysteries!
Taking a deep breath, Mengqi suppressed his shock and looked around, trying to find clues.
It was impossible for Yang Jian, Yang Erlang, to set up a stone tablet here for no reason. What did he want to do with his words?
Suddenly, Mengqi saw a vague object behind the stone tablet. It was dark in color with square edges and corners. It was invisible to his senses!
"Huh?" Mengqi took a step forward and saw the object clearly. It was a palm-sized wooden tablet with a black base. Golden characters were engraved on it: "Yuxu Palace".
"The waist token of a disciple of Yuxu Palace!" Sprite of Herbs spoke before Mengqi and Primogenitor Lingbao could.
Primogenitor Lingbao did not find anything unusual after careful examination. He signaled Mengqi to pick it up. "This object is related to Yuxu Palace and was left here for no reason. Perhaps it's related to you. Keep it for now. It might be useful in the future."
Mengqi nodded and reached out to take it. He was not afraid of being bitten by lice when there were too many debts. Perhaps they could even cancel each other out!
While he was fiddling with the token, Primogenitor Lingbao began to examine the surroundings. First, he entered through the pale golden door.
After a long time, he sighed. "If not for you, even if the Daoist found this place by chance, he would not have been able to pass through the seal. Any tricks are useless. This is the truth of this world."
Mengqi laughed. "The five provincial governors are still thinking of using unorthodox methods to take advantage of loopholes. Heh, even if they can, there's nothing inside that they want."
He found that the waist token of "Yuxu Palace" had nothing special other than the ability to block psychic sensing. He then put it into his Space Ring.
"They obtained the first token left by Perfected Lord of Purity and Magic. Their trick might not be useless …" Sprite of Herbs explained weakly.
Ignoring it, Mengqi and Primogenitor Lingbao turned their attention back to the stone tablet.
In his senses, the stone tablet was still as ordinary as ever. There was nothing special about it, just like the clouds in the sky or the water in the ocean. It was normal and natural.
Meng Qi and Primogenitor Lingbao reached out at the same time to touch the stone tablet.
As soon as the cold and hard sensation entered Mengqi's mind, he felt as if his soul had left his body. It was as if he was looking down on the world, watching the sun and moon move, the changing of the seasons, and the cycle of water. They were like threads that harmoniously formed a whole, illustrating the principles of heaven and earth.
Between them, there seemed to be nine stone steles standing tall. They seemed to be one with them, round and flawless, but they also seemed to be higher than them, above them, and embedded in them from the outside!
"These nine stone tablets seem to be suppressing and restricting this world …" Suddenly, Primogenitor Lingbao's words reached Mengqi's ears.
Suppressing this world? Why is it suppressing this world? Mengqi was puzzled.
Primogenitor Lingbao was equally puzzled. "If the seal is removed, what will happen to this world?"
He activated his mystic art and silently sensed it. After a long while, he sighed. "Even if the Daoist uses the Yi Qi Turning San Qing Technique and sets up the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation, he won't be able to move the stone tablets at all with his current realm."
"It seems that I won't be able to understand Yang Erlang's intention in setting up these nine stone tablets for a while …" Mengqi once again gained a deeper understanding of the gap between the ancient mighty people and the current Dharmakaya.
As far as he knew, Chong He, who could set up the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation by himself, was definitely an outstanding Dharmakaya if he unleashed his full strength. Perhaps even Mr. Lu was slightly inferior to him.
Mengqi had never seen a Peerless Heavenly Weapon. Judging from how Taoist Shou Jing temporarily suppressed the White Tiger Monster King with the Blade of Timeshadow, it was difficult to accurately judge the difference between Gourdo and Chong He with the Heaven-killing Axe.
Of course, he had never seen Mr. Lu fight with his full strength, so his judgment was not accurate.
"Perhaps we can get some clues from the tokens and information obtained by the five provincial governors," suggested Mengqi. Suddenly, he glanced at the "Sprite of Herbs" and used the Eight Nine Mysteries to transmit his voice. "Primogenitor, this sprite doesn't speak the truth. It acts as if it can be 'frightened' by the martial arts alone. It's really strange."
"Look, why did the Lord of Purity and Magic go through so much trouble to move a few elixirs from Kunlun Mountain to this place? They are useless for the seal. Apart from the outermost layer, what other things besides the stone tablets are inside?"
The waist token was left by Yang Jian, so it was not included.
Primogenitor Lingbao gently nodded. "The Daoist thinks so too. This Big Green Root may know more than it shows. Why don't we immediately bring it back to the Immortals and ask the Dominator to identify it?"
The Sprite of Herbs seemed to be the Big Green Root.
"Alright." Without further ado, Mengqi and Primogenitor Lingbao quickly left the seal with the "unconscious" Sprite of Herbs. They planned to find the tokens, information, and other sprites after the identification.
Outside the valley, Primogenitor Lingbao tore the void again and brought Mengqi and the Big Green Root through the darkness, directly returning to the Roving Azure Heaven.
As soon as he landed, he saw Primogenitor Lingbao and Meng Qi leading him toward the Central Jade Pillar. Suddenly, Sprite of Herbs stopped in his tracks. Trembling with fear, he asked, "Masters, w-where are you taking me?"
"Nothing, just going there for an 'inspection'," said Mengqi with a smile. Fortunately, he had the mask to cover it, otherwise the image of the Heavenly Primogenitor would be ruined.
"No! No! "The Big Green Root seemed to imagine its tragic fate of being stewed by a thousand cuts and desperately retreated.
"What are you afraid of?" asked Mengqi with a faint smile.
With the strength of the Sprite of Herbs, how could it resist Primogenitor Lingbao? It was directly taken away, unable to resist.
"No!" It wailed like a pig being slaughtered. "I've guarded the mountain for Kunlun! I've guarded the gate for Yuxu! Master, please spare me! "
Mengqi frowned slightly. Wasn't this thing too afraid? Was it really hiding some secret that it was afraid of being identified?
Wait a minute, how would it know what would happen? An inspection might not be a bad thing. Why was it so resistant?
Primogenitor Lingbao also had similar doubts. He stopped and floated in the air. Looking at the Big Green Root, he said in a low voice,
"What are you afraid of?"
The Big Green Root Sprite of Herbs said timidly, "I, I don't want to go there. I know his secret. He will take the opportunity to kill me!"
"Who? Whose secret? "Mengqi seemed to sense something. He spoke faster and held his breath.
The Sprite of Herbs pointed at the central jade pillar. "It's him. I remember his breath!"
Samsara? Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms?! Mengqi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His whole body was numb and his mind was slow from shock. Sprite of Herbs had seen Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms? Remembered his breath?
This was unbelievable!
Was the mysterious Dominator finally going to reveal his true face?
Primogenitor Lingbao was silent for a long time. His state of mind was obviously unstable. After a while, he brought Mengqi and Sprite of Herbs back to the Aquamarine Palace and activated layers of inhibition.
"When did you see him?" Primogenitor Lingbao asked Sprite of Herbs.
Sprite of Herbs said timidly, "Before I fully developed my spiritual wisdom, I sensed that he had been to the place where the seal was. I don't know whether he went deep or what he did. Given his mysterious state at that time, if I were to find out that I know him during the inspection, I'm afraid I will kill him!"
Had the Dominator been to the place where Yang Jian sealed the world? Mengqi and Primogenitor Lingbao were increasingly puzzled. Would the aloof Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms inspect a certain place?
What was his true face?
"There are still some inaccuracies in its words. Perhaps it is hiding many secrets. Why don't we hand it over to the Daoist to slowly interrogate and probe it?" Primogenitor Lingbao asked Mengqi for his opinion.
Mengqi had no objection. This Sprite of Herbs was sneaky and he did not know if it had any ulterior motives. Keeping it by his side would only bring harm to himself. If he exchanged it for the Dominator, he would lose clues and secrets for no reason. Primogenitor Lingbao taking the initiative to take over this matter was exactly what he wanted!
As for the other Sprites of Herbs and information on the tokens, he did not want to trouble two masters for the same matter.
"The Daoist will enter that world again later to obtain the other Sprites of Herbs, tokens, and information. When this matter has been figured out, he will leave a message for you. Continue to cultivate and do not be distracted. We do not know when we will have the opportunity to take the next step." Primogenitor Lingbao felt that this matter needed to be investigated carefully and planned for the long term. It was not something that could be done in a day.
Mengqi had the same idea. With his current realm, it was best not to get involved in this matter if it was possible. After all, the Primogenitor would take over later. He nodded and left the Big Green Root behind. He went to the Central Jade Pillar and threw the swordsman's Precious Sword, Chen Wendeng's Grand Sun Crown, and Fang Butong's fan into it.
"Green Li Sword, Precious Weapon (Lower Grade) … Material of the Middle Grade, but the workmanship is rough. It can only be exchanged for 1,400 Karma points."
"Crown of the Sun God, Precious Weapon (Lower Grade), an item of the Immortal Path. It can gather the power of incense … It can only be exchanged for 1,600 Karma points."
"Roaming Fan, Precious Weapon (Lower Grade) … It can only be exchanged for 1,100 Karma points."
It was a simple task, a benefit given to Mengqi by the Immortals. In just ten days, he had earned 4,100 Karma points. Together with the leftovers from before, he had a total of 4,300 Karma points.
At this time, the exotic minerals and produce that Mengqi had put up for auction had been sold for a fair price. There was no lack of rare items that he needed.
After calculating the value, Mengqi took three items without hesitation. This was the reward he deserved. He then flew to the entrance of the Immortals that led to River East!
