After cleaning up the two stone statues, Yi Tian learned from the demon spirit of the Three-Headed Hellhound Clan's Senior, Po Liu, that in addition to the previous Netherworld Great Emperor's weapon, the Fiend Star, and the Tiger Tally, there was also a secret document room. There were records of the Netherworld Great Emperor's cultivation methods and secret techniques.
This was an extremely good thing for Yi Tian. After many investigations, he discovered that the current Netherworld Great Emperor's malevolence seemed to be very strange. He had never shown his true body to anyone. Everything was done through his doppelgänger.
As a result, one couldn't help but wonder. Yi Tian had long been suspicious of Ning Kuang's actions. He guessed that something must have happened to his true body. Otherwise, how could he fuse with his doppelganger again and again?
There was also Ning Kuang's second doppelganger, the Azure Sky Beauty, in the Blade Mountain Flame Sea Sea, but her attitude was ambiguous.
After sending Po Liu's soul into the cycle of reincarnation, Po Yu stepped forward and released two rays of light towards the stone door in front of him. With a 'ka ka ka' sound, the stone door was slowly pushed open, revealing a three feet wide opening. A large amount of black baleful aura floated out from the opening. After a while, the black baleful aura dissipated.
After a while, Yi Tian scanned the stone room with his Divine Sense and found that the room wasn't very big, only ten feet in size. There was a stone platform in the middle with a jade box on top of it.
Seeing this, Po Yu was overjoyed and quickly flew to the side of the stone platform. He opened the jade box and scanned it with his Divine Sense. After three breaths, he closed the jade box with a dignified expression and put it away. Yi Tian's Divine Sense also stealthily seeped into it and scanned it. Immediately, he discovered a simple black collar inside. Needless to say, it was undoubtedly the Beast Taming Collar.
However, Po Yu hurriedly closed the jade box and didn't have time to carefully examine it. After a while, he turned his head and cupped his hands in greeting, "Many thanks to Brother Yi for your help this time. This humble one's objective has been accomplished. I wonder if Brother Yi is going to leave with me or explore the hidden treasures of this palace? "
After thinking for a moment, Yi Tian said with a serious expression, "In that case, Fellow Daoist Po Yu can leave first. Since I've come here, I naturally want to explore the other places in this palace. Perhaps there will be some opportunities."
Hearing this, Po Yu's expression relaxed and he hurriedly replied, "In that case, this one will take his leave first. After today, if Brother Yi has time, please come to my clan's encampment to rest. This one will be a good host."
"We can talk about this later," Yi Tian said with a smile. "Alright, I'll definitely pay you a visit when I'm free."
Po Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He took out a communication jade talisman and sent it over, "Brother Yi, if you need anything, you can contact me directly. As long as it's not Yan Qiu of the Yellow Spring Clan or someone like Azure Sky Enchantress, this one will help wholeheartedly."
Yi Tian naturally understood the meaning of his words. For the Three-Headed Hellhound Clan, they still had scruples against the number one clan in the Infernal Court. Similarly, there was also Azure Sky Enchantress and the Netherworld Boy.
Fortunately, Po Yu also knew the severity of the situation. This time, he was able to retrieve the spiritual treasure so quickly because of Yang Ming's help. No matter what, he owed Yang Ming a huge favor, and this debt of gratitude must be repaid in the future.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian reached out and took the communication jade talisman and put it into the Storage Ring, then he curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Po Yu is too polite, but I will visit you when I have time in the future. Fellow Daoist can leave first, I still have something to do."
"Sure, sure." After saying that, Po Yu cupped his fist and said goodbye, then he turned around and flew toward the tunnel he came from.
After 3 seconds, Po Yu disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, Yi Tian just shook his head helplessly. Then he walked into the stone room and spread out his Divine Thought to search around. Previously, Po Yu was confused because he was involved. He was worried about the spiritual treasure 'Beast Taming Collar', so he didn't care about the situation in the room at all.
But Yi Tian was a bystander. After scanning with his Divine Thought, he found that there were many words engraved on the 3 walls of the stone room. After scanning with his Divine Thought one by one, he found that what was left on it was the refining method of the 'Beast Taming Collar'. What shocked him was that the words on these walls were written in the language of the spiritual realm.
Needless to say, the former Netherworld Great Emperor must be proficient in the language of the spiritual realm to be able to refine the 'Beast Taming Collar'. Taking out a blank jade slip and a talisman pen, Yi Tian quickly recorded the words on it.
This thing didn't have much use for him, but if he took it into the sect, he would have another method to deal with high level beasts. After a while, he copied all the words on it. Yi Tian took out the demonic blade, waved it, and slashed at the words on the stone wall. After a series of popping sounds, the black Sky Demon Blade flew out and erased all of the words on the stone wall. With that, all of the records of refining the Beast Taming Collar had been erased. Right now, he was the only one in the entire world who still had the refining method of this treasure.
After doing this, Yi Tian calmly put away the jade slip and demonic blade in his hand, then he turned into a black wind and disappeared.
Following the passage that he came from, Yi Tian rushed all the way back to the five-forked entrance in less than half an hour. After taking out the map of the secret palace in his hand and checking it, he still had to rush to two places. One was the place where the tiger tally was stored, and the other was the location of the former Netherworld Great Emperor's private study.
Speaking of which, these two places were very important to him, but it was not a problem to go to only one place. But if he went to both places, he would definitely encounter the Azure Sky Beauty and Yan Qiu.
He could escape unscathed in a 1v2 fight, but this would naturally expose his identity, and it was not necessarily a good thing for his future actions in the Infernal Court. At least Yi Tian was not ready to fall out with them.
But now that things had come to a head, he had to make a choice. After thinking about it, he sighed helplessly. Then Yi Tian's figure flashed and directly entered the passage marked on the map where the tiger tally was stored.
Wearing the breath concealing cloak and restraining the fluctuation of spiritual pressure to the limit, Yi Tian's figure only stirred up a slight breeze in the air, then he quickly shuttled through the passage.
Just like the passage leading to the 'Beast Taming Collar' before, Yi Tian flew straight here for more than half an hour before he saw the exit of the passage. After exiting the passage, he came to a 300 feet stone room. Unlike before, there was no other secret room in this stone room.
In the middle of this stone room, there was a five-foot square stone platform with a simple stone tiger tally on it. Yi Tian did not expect that this spiritual treasure was not directly stored but directly placed on the stone platform.
After scanning with Divine Thought, Yi Tian's face changed slightly. The ground within 100 feet of the platform was clearly engraved with array runes. If he forced his way in, he would definitely trigger the array runes and activate the array enchantment.
After scanning the corner of the stone room with Divine Thought, Yi Tian found that there were four statues in the north, south, east, and west of the stone platform. From the pattern of the array runes, it seemed to be the Spirit Realm's Four Spirit Formation, but the guardian beasts were not the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Looking at the statues, he saw that they were the Infernal Realm's Black Dragon Race, Stone Race, Yellow Spring Race, and Barbarian Horn Race.
He did not expect that the previous Netherworld Great Emperor would use the cultivators of these races to guard this place. Needless to say, these statues should have the souls of the cultivators of these four races sealed within.
At this moment, Yi Tian was very disdainful of the actions of the previous Netherworld Great Emperor. The previous Netherworld Great Emperor had imprisoned the souls of these experts and sent them into the stone statues to guard the secret room of the palace. This action was so overbearing that no one dared to resist when the previous Netherworld Great Emperor was alive. Once he died, the various oppressed races began to revolt against his tyranny.
Now, it would not be easy for the Netherworld Emperor to restore the grand occasion of the Netherworld Dynasty fifty thousand years ago. Naturally, these oppressed races would not let him succeed so easily.
But there was still a question that had always puzzled Yi Tian. These races must have left behind the teachings of their ancestors, but he did not know why the Yellow Spring Race was so close to the Netherworld Great Emperor. Were they not afraid of being killed in the future?
After three breaths, Yi Tian began to think about how to break the formation. He took out the formation breaking awl and held it in his hand. Then he quietly flew to the stone statue of the Barbarian Horn Race cultivator in the south. After scanning the surface of the stone statue with his Divine Sense, Yi Tian quickly found a few nodes that connected the formation. After the formation breaking awl in his hand was raised, he slowly stabbed towards the location of these nodes.
When the formation breaking awl touched these nodes, a light suddenly flashed on the center of the defensive formation. Immediately after, the runes on the ground lit up, activating the Spirit Array in the surroundings.
Fortunately, he did not rashly enter the formation. Yi Tian swept his gaze and found that this Four Spirit Guardian Formation was completely arranged according to the style of the Spirit Realm. If he rashly attacked, he would definitely trigger the restriction. At that time, the surrounding statues were bound to be besieged.
Fortunately, after the formation breaking awl pierced the node, the connection between the Barbarian Horn Race cultivator statue and the main formation was cut off. With one of the Four Spirit Guardian Formation missing, it was naturally unable to form an effective offensive restriction. Next, he only needed to break one more to easily obtain the tiger tally.
Just as he was thinking, a halo of light suddenly flew out from the stone statue of the Barbarian Horn Race. Yi Tian focused his eyes and saw that the halo was the Spirit Nascent of the Barbarian Horn Race cultivator. However, the Spirit Nascent seemed to be unconscious. Yi Tian thought for a moment, then extended a finger and sent a streak of spiritual energy into the halo.
After three breaths, the Spirit Nascent of the Barbarian Horn Race cultivator reacted and opened its eyes.
When the Spirit Nascent Soul saw him, he showed a vigilant expression and shouted, "You demonic cultivator dare to break into the Netherworld Great Emperor's residence. How dare you?"
Seeing this, Yi Tian cast a trace of spirit force to imprison the Spirit Nascent. He then said, "The Netherworld Great Emperor has already passed away for 50,000 years. Now, your Barbarian Horn Race can be considered the largest race in the Infernal Court. Tell me your name. Seeing that you are familiar with the patriarch of the Barbarian Horn Race, Wan Gang, I will not make things difficult for you. "
"Hmph, don't deceive me with flowery words. I am Wan Qingshan of the Barbarian Horn Race. I will never lower my head to anyone." The Spirit Nascent scolded.
"So it's Senior Wan Qingshan." Yi Tian showed a faint smile on his face. He then waved his hand to remove the restriction and said, "I'm afraid Senior has been detained here for tens of thousands of years. The Infernal Court is no longer the same as it was back then."
"Is that so?" Wan Qingshan still looked at him with a vigilant expression, then asked, "Then tell me what the situation outside is like now."
"The Netherworld Race and the Barbarian Horn Race are fighting for hegemony. Although the Shi Race has a large number of people, they are restricted by their congenital defects. They can only compromise." Yi Tian then briefly explained the situation he saw in the Infernal Court.
After hearing his explanation, the expression of Wan Qingshan's Spirit Nascent Soul became more and more solemn. After looking at the statues of the Netherworld Race around him, Wan Qingshan sighed and said, "Back then, our two races supported each other all the way. I didn't expect the world to become so unbearable now."
"Times have changed, Senior." Yi Tian said disdainfully, "Back then, it was under the suppression of the Netherworld Great Emperor that the various races of the Infernal Court gathered together. To put it nicely, they were just huddling together for warmth."
"Your statement is very interesting, but it's true." Wan Qingshan said with a trace of loneliness on his face.
"Now that the pressure on our heads has been removed, the major races of the Infernal Court, who were originally united together, have become active," Yi Tian explained, "Speaking of which, this is also the general trend. Without the pressure, the major races must fight for resources in order to survive. There is no doubt about this."
"Well, since you said that you have an old relationship with the current Barbarian Horn Race leader, do you have any keepsake as proof?" Wan Qingshan asked.
Yi Tian thought about it. He only had the keepsake of the Barbarian Horn Chamber of Commerce on him, so he didn't know if it would be useful. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and took out the sword. He showed it to Wan Qingshan and said, "I have some connections with the Barbarian Horn Race's Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of coming to the Infernal Court this time is to investigate the secrets of the former Netherworld Great Emperor."
After seeing the keepsake jade token, Wan Qingshan's expression eased. He then said, "Yes, the style of this jade token is indeed a keepsake passed down from generation to generation in my Barbarian Horn Race. In that case, what you said is at least sixty to seventy percent credible."
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression did not change, but he thought to himself that Wan Qingshan was still not at ease with him. However, if he put himself in Wan Qingshan's shoes and thought about it, he would be the same as Wan Qingshan. At least for now, it seemed that he could not gain full trust.
After thinking about it, he sighed softly and said, "This time, I came to investigate the Tiger Tally of the Tiger Roar Army. This thing is of great importance and may have an impact on the structure of the Infernal Court and even the Netherworld in the future. Senior, please tell me how to break the Defense Formation of the Four Spirits and obtain the Tiger Tally Golden Seal."
"Just break the four guardian statues," Wan Qingshan said faintly.
"If that's the case, Senior won't have a place to stay. Do you need me to bring Senior out to meet the current Barbarian Horn Clan Leader to verify what I said before?" Yi Tian asked in an orderly manner.
