When the Battle of Sunset Mountain had erupted, Chen Luoyang had sent his avatar, Taoist Banhai, to the East Zhou capital, Tianfeng City to prepare.
Regardless of the outcome of the Battle of Sunset Mountain, he planned to use the chaos to enter the city while the Empress of East Zhou left Tianfeng City and Xu Peng went to search for the God of the Underworld. He would find the East Zhou treasure that "King Fuyao" Han Shang had coveted.
While he did not know what it was, his intuition told him that it would be of great benefit.
After the Battle of Sunset Mountain and the battles that followed, he would naturally be able to sweep East Zhou with this complete victory.
If there were any setbacks, then Chen Luoyang would first get the item in Tianfeng City for future use.
But then again, after getting the item, he felt that there was something more to the Thousand Souls Pearl and the Copper Plate.
As the Copper Plate spun, there seemed to be wisps of smoke coming out of the Thousand Souls Pearl.
Chen Luoyang stared at the wisps of smoke and carefully felt for a moment. After confirming that there were no traps, he stepped into the smoke.
As his acupoints opened and closed, the smoke disappeared into Chen Luoyang's body.
He closed his eyes and carefully felt. After a moment, he suddenly shook his head.
As expected, it was something left behind by Chen Chuhua, just like the black coffin …
Chen Luoyang suspected that if Han Shang had successfully snatched the item from East Zhou, he would have been killed by Chen Chuhua in the blink of an eye using Ji Tianqiong's identity. Then she would have left the Thousand Souls Pearl and Copper Plate in the Black Water Extreme Palace to wait for Chen Luoyang.
Of course, that would be too obvious. Perhaps she would think of other ways to make everything less obvious, just like how she had left the Thousand Souls Pearl and Copper Plate at Yanran Mountain and Eastern Zhou.
Slowly, Chen Luoyang exhaled and separated the Thousand Souls Pearl from the Copper Plate. He did not continue to absorb and refine the soul essence within.
The item was harmless and beneficial. It could help him quickly advance towards level-21, the Immortal Realm.
Han Shang had sensed the value of the Thousand Souls Pearl, but its true value might be even higher than he had expected.
If Han Shang could refine and absorb it, he might be able to break through to realm twenty in an instant.
For Chen Luoyang, this was a great supplement.
However, he was not in a hurry. He still needed to continue observing and studying.
After keeping the treasures, Chen Luoyang's eyes flickered with radiance, reflecting the image of a Fuxi.
Renhuang's relic, the Jun Tian Dagger-axe, appeared in his hand, and he carefully deduced.
Chen Luoyang had always had his suspicions as to why the Demonic Lords of the Mountain and Sea Realm had always coveted this treasure.
He had a feeling that the other party was not simply cultivating.
It was not impossible for the demons to use the Human Emperor's treasures to cultivate, but Chen Luoyang's intuition told him that something was wrong.
Previously, he had been trying to figure out the Jun Tian Spear, but to no avail. Now that his cultivation level had increased, it seemed to be different for him to figure out the Jun Tian Spear.
Chen Luoyang carefully pondered over the truth and tried to figure out the clues. After a long while, he got up and left his place of meditation.
After instructing Su Wei and the others to take care of their own affairs, Chen Luoyang went straight into the void and left the Red Dust World.
In the void, Chen Luoyang was studying the Jun Tian Spear while paying attention to his surroundings.
He vaguely felt that the Jun Tian Spear seemed to contain some kind of guidance, pointing to a certain place.
This made Chen Luoyang have a plan.
It seemed that his intuition was right. The Jun Tian Spear really did contain some secret. Perhaps this was the real reason why the Demonic Lords wanted the Jun Tian Spear.
However, how did the Demonic Lords know about it?
Did the Demonic Lords discover the secret?
Chen Luoyang could not be sure, so he could only follow the Jun Tian Spear's guidance and wander in the vast void, hoping to find something.
Unfortunately, perhaps because his current cultivation level was not high enough, after a long period of exploration, he still did not find anything valuable.
Chen Luoyang frowned in his heart, but he was not discouraged. He continued to carefully search.
After an unknown amount of time, his heart suddenly moved.
However, it was not a flash of inspiration. Instead, he became even more confused.
The guidance inside the Jun Tian Spear seemed to have become chaotic.
Chen Luoyang carefully analyzed and realized that this thing seemed to be pointing to two different directions.
Did this mean one of them was wrong, two of them were right, or both of them were wrong?
Chen Luoyang had no way of knowing, so he could only calm himself down and try one by one.
In the end, after spending a lot of time, he still could not understand one of them, and the other one made him feel like he was being blocked.
This was better than nothing. Chen Luoyang's spirit was lifted.
He temporarily put the first one aside and began to focus on the second one.
After studying and searching, Chen Luoyang felt the fog in front of him was slowly dispersing.
It was not necessarily someone that was blocking his senses. It was more like the other party itself could move and was constantly changing its position.
Was it some kind of life form?
Chen Luoyang was not sure, but he continued to search patiently. Slowly, he realized that although the other party's probing was high and erratic, it seemed to be following a certain pattern and maintaining a certain connection with something else.
… Like it was maintaining a certain connection with the Human Realm?
Moreover, this existence, Chen Luoyang felt more and more familiar.
He stood still in the air and pondered for a long time. His mind was constantly searching through all kinds of memories in a flash.
Finally, he matched the familiar feeling with the shallow impression in his memory.
The result, however, made him stunned and surprised.
That sword?
The bright ancient sword that was related to Ying Qingqing and hung outside the Human Realm?
How could this thing be related to the Jun Tian Spear left by the Human Emperor?
Or was it related to Ying Qingqing and the Human Emperor?
It didn't make sense. If it was related to the Human Emperor, then the Supreme Martial Artists of the other realms should have some reaction.
At that time, Ying Qingqing summoned the sword will to descend at the critical moment of life and death. The opponent who died in battle was a Martial Saint of the Sixteenth Realm.
In the eyes of the Supreme Martial Artists of the Six Realms, it was naturally not worth mentioning. However, the sword light penetrated the Human Realm from the outside and then descended on the vast land. It was at least at the level of a Martial Venerable. If it was related to the Human Emperor and the Jun Tian Spear, at least the Demon Venerable would care, right?
Even if they didn't capture or investigate, they should inevitably ask a few questions during the conversation. However, the Supreme Martial Artists of the other realms, including the Demon Venerable, did not have any reaction at all, as if it was just a very ordinary fight between Martial Venerables in the Human Realm.
But now it seemed that it was not the case at all. Only saying that the sword was at the level of a Martial Venerable might have underestimated it.
Chen Luoyang was full of doubts. He forced himself to calm down and carefully recall.
He was not a direct descendant of the Human Emperor like Xu Ruotong, but he had absorbed the essence of the Human Emperor's mausoleum and mastered the two treasures, the Jun Tian Spear and the Earth Overturning Seal, as well as the three personal edicts of wood, metal and earth. In terms of understanding of the Human Emperor's martial arts, besides Xu Ruotong, he should be second.
It was reasonable to say that the mysterious Mingguang Ancient Sword had nothing to do with the Human Emperor's martial arts inheritance …
If it was another treasure that the Human Emperor had secretly refined when he was alive, it was obviously illogical that there was no trace of the Human Emperor's martial arts inheritance on the sword.
If there was a possibility, perhaps this ancient sword had been in contact with the Jun Tian Spear or the Human Emperor.
Of course, simple contact should not be like this. It should be a secret but deep contact.
In that case, the Jun Tian Spear pointed in two directions. One was the Mingguang Ancient Sword, and the other was what?
Chen Luoyang no longer continued to stay in the void. He simply returned to the Human Realm while pondering.
With the Jun Tian Spear alone, it was not enough to directly lock the position of the Mingguang Ancient Sword.
Since that was the case, whoever started the trouble should solve it. Let's leave the problem to the professionals.
After returning to the Human Realm, Chen Luoyang went to the Dark Cave.
"There is a way to find the ancient sword?" Ying Qingqing looked at Chen Luoyang in astonishment.
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly. "That's right. But I need you to go with me."
Ying Qingqing took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She did not answer immediately.
After she calmed down, she nodded. "I will go with you."
"Relax." Chen Luoyang flicked his sleeves and wrapped Ying Qingqing up. He took her out of the Human Realm.
With his care, Ying Qingqing could also walk in the void.
Chen Luoyang handed the Jun Tian Spear to Ying Qingqing.
After Ying Qingqing received the Jun Tian Spear, she calmed down.
After a long time, light seemed to gradually appear between her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Chen Luoyang pointed a finger between her eyebrows.
The scattered light began to condense and finally concentrated into a point. It no longer dissipated.
Chen Luoyang withdrew his hand. Ying Qingqing opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little confused, but they quickly became clear.
"I can roughly find the position," she said softly.
Chen Luoyang nodded. "Let's go."
He followed Ying Qingqing's instructions and flew in the void.
The mysterious Radiant Ancient Sword hung in the sky. It seemed far away, but after finding the right "door" and opening the door, everything was right in front of them.
Soon, a bright light appeared in the sight of Chen Luoyang and Ying Qingqing, illuminating the surrounding universe.
It was like the first beam of light in the universe.
While it was pure, it also rejected all other things. There was no warmth or heat. It was just the purest light.
In the light, there seemed to be an ancient sword flashing with light.
This time, it was not through Ying Qingqing's illusory soul perception, but face to face.
Ying Qingqing looked at the sword light in a daze. Her eyes were blank, but she could not help but show a bit of pain.
In the distance, the Radiant Ancient Sword in the void seemed to tremble slightly.
Chen Luoyang put his palm on the back of her heart to help her stabilize her soul and body.
Ying Qingqing came back to her senses. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Luoyang's expression changed slightly.
He pointed a finger between Ying Qingqing's eyebrows at the fastest speed, dispersing the light there. Then, he snatched the Jun Tian Dagger and cut off the connection between Ying Qingqing and the treasure.
The light dissipated and the Jun Tian Dagger left her hand. The scene in front of them suddenly changed, as if they had retreated from an invisible "door".
Ying Qingqing looked at the world in front of her changing back to the void outside the mortal world. She did not know what happened.
Chen Luoyang did not say a word and brought her back to the mortal world.
On the other side of the void, there was a burst of demonic wind.
An extremely terrifying will appeared in the dark void together with a bloody rain.
"Is it Old Demon Tang and the Jun Tian Dagger? Or someone else? "The voice of the Demon Venerable echoed in the void.
