Although Yi Tian had managed to break through the defensive barrier in front of the cave residence in the depths of the rear palace of the Artifacts Society, Daoist Lord Beastman had reminded him that the intruder had already entered the plaza in front of the Artifacts Society.
Yi Tian didn't think it was the best time to explore the cave, so he gave up on the idea. Daoist Shou Jun didn't want to see anyone, so he left.
As such, Yi Tian could only temporarily rearrange the formation barrier here. In any case, he had already obtained the main control of the formation barrier through the Formation Breaking Awl. It was only a matter of a thought for him to explore the inside of the formation barrier.
After thinking about it, he reached out his hand to control the barrier in front of him to restore it to its original state. After waiting for a few minutes to restore his spiritual power to its peak state, he turned around and flew straight in the direction of the Weapons Society. Yi Tian showed a bit of impatience, but when he thought about the identity of the opponent, a trace of fierceness flashed through his eyes.
After restraining the spirit pressure fluctuations on his body, Yi Tian flew all the way through the front hall of the middle hall and returned to the square. After exiting the front hall, Yi Tian flew into the air and scanned the square. There was a flash of formation light. The person should have triggered the formation here and was trapped inside.
Yi Tian wasn't in a rush to make a move. If he rushed in, he would be implicated. After stabilizing himself in the air, a purple light flashed through his eyes. He used an eye technique and checked the situation inside the formation.
After three seconds, his mouth twitched. The person who had come was the netherworld child. Yi Tian muttered to himself, "It's really a case of searching high and low only to find it by chance." He was worried that he would have to spend time looking for the netherworld child, but he didn't expect to meet him so soon.
Also, his current strength was much higher than the other party's. Even if he saw the other party's true body, he wouldn't be afraid at all.
Yi Tian spread out his divine sense and found that the netherworld child seemed to have encountered some trouble inside the formation. However, what puzzled Yi Tian was that the netherworld child didn't seem to be fighting with his mirror image. Could it be that the formation here would treat the cultivators differently based on their strength?
However, he didn't have to worry too much about it. After thinking about it, he slowly waited in the air.
About an hour later, a cracking sound came from the barrier, and a crack slowly appeared on the surface of the barrier. A beam of light flew out from the crack and arrived in front of the gate of the Artifact Society.
The person who came was Netherworld Boy. However, Yi Tian saw that Netherworld Boy's face was covered in dust, and the spiritual pressure on his body was fluctuating rapidly. He should have consumed a large amount of spiritual power when forcibly breaking the seal.
The corners of Yi Tian's mouth twitched as he stood in the air. "You're late, Fellow Nether. I didn't think that a mere restriction would take so long to break. I really overestimated you."
Netherworld Boy narrowed his eyes and looked up at Yi Tian, who was in mid-air. "You're right. He felt a lump in his throat and revealed an extremely awkward expression. After sizing him up, the netherworld child adjusted his state of mind and quickly circulated the spirit force in his body. He held a spirit weapon in his hand and was ready to attack.
He stared at Yi Tian in the sky for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me. It seems you've already explored the inside, right?"
"I really admire your spirit. Even though you know you're at a disadvantage, you're not weak at all." Yi Tian said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You first set up an array here to waste my spirit force while your real body waited outside." The netherworld child said with difficulty, "I really underestimated you, Li Fire Sect Master."
"Oh, why do you say that?" Yi Tian's expression did not change when he heard that. However, he had some doubts in his heart. He did not know why the netherworld child was so sure that he was the one who set up the array.
"There's a mirror image of your real body in the array. Just this point alone proves that you planned this." The netherworld child said with conviction.
"Mirror image of my real body." Yi Tian's expression did not change, but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. If that was the case, the netherworld child did not meet his own mirror image in the array, but his own. If so, the array was quite interesting.
At this moment, the spiritual pressure on the netherworld child was fluctuating. It was the best time for him to make a move. However, Yi Tian had some thoughts about the netherworld child's words. Then, he coldly snorted and said, "I have something to ask you. If you can tell me the truth, I might let you go."
"Hmph, don't go too far. Kid, your strength is only slightly higher than mine. Even now, you might not be able to defeat me." The netherworld child said disdainfully.
However, after three breaths of time, the arrogant expression on his face disappeared. Then, the Netherworld Child's eyes revealed a look of disbelief. He sized up the people in front of him and felt that no matter what, he couldn't say anything.
After a while, the netherworld child regained his composure and asked with difficulty, "You've already crossed that chasm?"
"You can think whatever you want, Daoist Netherworld. However, I still want to ask you something. Can your words represent me?" Yi Tian curled his lips and asked.
"Okay, ask away. With your current strength, it should be easy for you to deal with me." The netherworld child said in a deep voice, "Even in your previous state, it shouldn't be difficult for you to deal with me after breaking the array."
"You do know your own strength." Yi Tian smiled and said, "Then I'll ask. Where is your real body? "
The netherworld child's expression tightened. He sized up Yi Tian and sighed helplessly, "In the Nirvana Imperial Capital."
"Since it's in the Nirvana Imperial Capital, why hasn't anyone noticed it for thousands of years?" Yi Tian continued, "Could it be that your real body has received some restrictions and can only hibernate somewhere under the Nirvana Imperial Capital, and the Blue Sky Enchantress above is specially collecting a large amount of flesh and blood to make up for the lack of a physical body?"
"You're really amazing. You can actually guess to this extent. You must have done a lot of research in advance, right?" The netherworld child said helplessly.
"It seems that I should be the one sending the message now, right?" Yi Tian said impatiently, "But from your tone, it seems that you've admitted it. Okay, let's forget about this for now. However, after bringing me out, I will definitely go to the Nirvana Imperial Capital to look for your real body. "
"Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?" The netherworld child hurriedly asked, "With your current strength, you are indeed on par with my real body. However, if my real body recovers to 80% of its strength, I'm afraid it might not be the case."
"I can guess Ning Kuang's thoughts. Unfortunately, his scattered souls are scattered all over the Upper Spiritual Nine Realms. Even if I can find all of them, I might not be able to recover to the strength of 50,000 years ago." Yi Tian said, "To put it bluntly, I still feel disdain for Ning Kuang's original intentions. I just don't know why he is so obsessed with this matter."
"If I answer this question, will you let me go?" The netherworld child asked.
"That might not be the case. It's just that I haven't finished asking my questions. After I get a satisfactory answer, I will naturally let you go." Yi Tian glanced at him and replied.
"Okay, to be honest, I can't guess the real body's intentions. However, one thing is certain. He might want to fulfill his promise to someone, so he is so anxious to recover the strength of his previous life." The netherworld child said.
"Promise, it seems that this matter is quite interesting." Yi Tian then instantly thought of the several Dacheng stage cultivators of the Buddhist Sect's Great Thunder Zen Temple and his own sect's Martial Uncle Wu Xiang, who was also the Devil Saint Bao Ti. Perhaps only people like them were qualified to make the former Netherworld Great Emperor make a promise to repay them in this life.
After thinking about it, he said lightly, "Okay, I'll take this as a complete answer."
"Then can I go now?" The netherworld child asked.
"Wait, I still have one last question." Yi Tian suddenly said, "Just now, when you were in the formation barrier I set up, did you see my real body?"
After saying this, Yi Tian's heart was filled with apprehension. Since the other party had mistakenly thought that he had set up an Entrapment Array, then he might as well make use of this mistake to trick him and see his reaction before making a decision.
Hearing this, the netherworld child's face fell and he said, "I already knew that you are from the Lifire Sect. However, I didn't expect your sect to have a deep relationship with the Allheaven Immortal Palace."
"Of course. The three sects of the Spiritual World were born from the Allheaven Immortal Palace. Moreover, my Lifire Sect is also a direct disciple of the Allheaven Immortal Palace. It is not difficult for us to integrate part of our magic into the formation." Although Yi Tian said with a proud expression, he was secretly shocked. In fact, he was very clear about the formation here. From the netherworld child's words, he knew that the person who set up the formation had used his mirror image. Or rather, it was the mirror image of a true immortal from the Immortal World who looked very similar to him.
"I've long heard that the might of the Lifire Palace's sect protection spirit artifact is extraordinary. My horizons have truly been broadened after witnessing it today." The Netherworld Child didn't know what Yi Tian was thinking, but he still told Yi Tian everything he saw inside the formation.
In any case, this matter didn't allow him to quibble anymore. In front of absolute strength, playing petty tricks was not a wise move. While the netherworld child was speaking, he was also observing Yi Tian's expression. However, he couldn't see anything strange from Yi Tian's expression.
In fact, Yi Tian was also very shocked at this moment. Firstly, he was very interested in the formation inside this fragment of the Immortal World. Secondly, he also guessed his identity. In this world, there was actually someone who set up a formation using his mirror image. Moreover, this formation should have been set up before the Allheaven Immortal World fragment collapsed. Could it be that there was a successor of the Allheaven Immortal Palace who looked exactly like him at that time?
Slowly collecting his thoughts, Yi Tian looked at the netherworld child. Then he sighed and said, "Okay, you can leave now. The things inside are not something you can touch now. However, I have to remind you that there are two people in this fragment of the Immortal World who can pose a threat to you. I believe that with their strength, once they recover to a certain extent, they will be a threat to everyone. "
Hearing this, the netherworld child showed a delicate expression and said, "You are talking about the true immortals from the lower realm, Wu Jue and Zhangsun Ting, right? Speaking of which, you are the one who caused this trouble. In the end, you have to deal with it yourself. At most, I will retreat when I see them. "
"I hope so. Actually, the fact that these True Immortals have descended to the Netherworld is already a huge matter. If I allow them to run amok in the Netherworld Realm, I'm afraid that even your main body won't be able to do anything to them," Yi Tian explained. "I chose the lesser of two evils. Although it was my idea to lure them in, I had no other choice."
Hearing this, the netherworld child showed a trace of helplessness on his face. He stopped and looked at Yi Tian and said, "If there comes a day when we have to fight against each other, I think cooperating with you is a good choice."
Yi Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at the netherworld child in front of him again. He did not expect the netherworld child to have such a way of thinking. However, after thinking about it, it was reasonable. After all, he and the netherworld child were both from the Upper Nine Realms. Even if they were to fight, they would have some scruples and would not go to extremes. On the other hand, these true immortals from the lower realm were different. They naturally had an ulterior motive for coming here. Therefore, there was no need to be scruples when they acted.
The world was unpredictable. Yi Tian did not expect that the person he wanted to fight against would become the person he wanted to rope in. He smiled bitterly, then nodded and said, "Okay, you are right. I hope we will have a chance to cooperate. At least we don't have any obvious conflicts of interest now. Previously, my strength was not as strong as your original body, so I could only plan things. However, now that we are equal in strength, many things can be put on the table and negotiated directly, "Yi Tian said.
"I hope such a time will come." After saying that, the netherworld child turned around and flew in the direction he came from. In less than 20 breaths, he disappeared from sight.
Soon, his Divine Thought could no longer detect the netherworld child's spiritual pressure fluctuations. Yi Tian's expression slowly relaxed. He then landed on the array barrier in the square in front of him. After carefully observing the array barrier here, Yi Tian's eyes flashed with suspicion. Obviously, the array barrier here was set up tens of thousands of years ago. The fact that the netherworld child could see his mirror image meant that it was left behind by the person who set up the array.
According to his experience, usually only the person who set up the array would seal his mirror image in the array. Then, the good thing was very simple. Back in the Luotian Immortal Palace, there was at least a true immortal who looked exactly like him, who was proficient in array formations.
Moreover, to be able to set up an array in the Weapons Society, the person who set up the array must have a high status. His cultivation should have reached the level of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal or a Zenith Heaven Immortal. Thinking of this, Yi Tian felt that his back was wet. This was the first time since he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
