After being delayed in the chessboard array for an unknown period of time, Yi Tian hurriedly increased his speed on the mountain path, hoping to reach the Artifact Pavilion's main hall before his opponents.
Setting off from the chessboard array halfway up the mountain, he did not encounter any obstructions along the way. As such, Yi Tian spent nearly two hours before he reached the main hall's door at the mountaintop.
As an important place of the Li Fire Sect, the Artifact Pavilion's main hall was built in a similar style to the elixir pavilion from before. After arriving at the main hall, Yi Tian did not directly enter from the main entrance. Instead, he circled to the side of the hall and sneaked in from the side entrance.
He thought to himself, 'Since the enemy is out in the open while I'm in the dark, it's best to take it easy to prevent others from discovering my whereabouts. When the time comes, I'll act according to the situation. If the opponent isn't strong, I'll directly kill them on the spot. If there are too many people, I can take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.'
After using the levitation technique, Yi Tian floated a foot above the ground and slowly entered the main hall. He opened his divine sense and began to search the place.
In the middle of the Artifact Pavilion's main hall, there was also a three-foot-long portrait. However, there seemed to be three people on it. Thankfully, he had been fortunate enough to see the looks of Patriarch Li Fire and Yu Yaoqing when he obtained various opportunities, so he was able to recognize the two of them at a glance. As for the third person, it was his own Ancestral Master, Yun Zhongzheng.
What puzzled him the most was why the portrait had his Ancestral Master's appearance, while Wan Zongming and Gu Hui were not there.
After scanning his surroundings with his perception, he was surprised to discover that the walls on both sides were engraved with pictures of the Li Fire Ten Soldiers. After a careful inspection, he realized that other than the Purple Firmament Cup and the Supreme Sky Mirror, the rest of the pictures on the stone walls were all recorded.
He had long understood Patriarch Li Fire's refining skills. Back in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Saber Sword Tomb, he had also seen the complete picture of the Li Fire Ten Soldiers. It was much more detailed than this.
It seemed that his own Martial Ancestor Yun Zhongzheng was indeed worthy of being the direct disciple of the Li Fire Ancestor. Even Yu Yaoqing, the head of the Tool Pavilion, didn't have the complete set, yet he had obtained it long ago. It was a pity that the Li Fire Ten Weapons had too high a requirement for materials. Other than the growth-type Spirit Artifacts, the rest were all Level Seven Spirit Artifacts. Level Six Spirit Artifacts were merely supplementary materials.
After scanning it with his Divine Sense, his gaze finally stopped at the end of the mural. There was a three-foot-long saber drawn on the back of the saber. The saber's body was thick and curved like a crescent moon. The saber's hilt was also engraved with the symbol of the Two-Winged Man. Upon closer inspection, it looked like the Flying Rakshasa of the past.
After reading the description on the side, Yi Tian understood that this item was called the Rakshasa Blade. It was a spiritual treasure that the Flying Rakshasa had brought to the lower realm. After he was captured, Ancestor Li Huo cut off the Rakshasa Blade. The Rakshasa Blade was calcined in the pure Yang Qi of Nanming Li Fire for forty-nine days to remove the evil Qi inside before it was handed over to Yu Yaoqing.
Speaking of which, this thing and the Sun and Moon Luminous Wheel in his hand should belong to the category of high-grade spiritual treasures. It could only be regarded as a demonic weapon.
It was just that he didn't know where this thing was stored in the end. After thinking about it, Yi Tian didn't want to look for it anymore. Then, he began to search around for the hidden transmission array.
As he was searching, a sense of uneasiness suddenly flashed through his heart. Usually, this kind of situation wouldn't be really good. He hurriedly dodged to the side and restrained his aura to hide his figure.
Not long after, the door of the main hall was kicked open, and a cultivator in his fifties holding a black banner walked in. At a glance, he recognized the other party. It was Xiahou Cangqiong of the Tianli Sect, and the black banner in his hand was the Demon Soul Banner used to collect the Flying Rakshasa's Yuanying.
He seemed to be communicating with the Demon Soul Banner with his Divine Sense, then his gaze swept across the entire hall and stopped on the mural of the Rakshasa Blade.
Then, after a trace of joy on his face, he walked toward the mural excitedly. After staring at it for a long time, he seemed to be communicating further with the Demon Soul Banner.
Yi Tian, who was hiding at the side, had a solemn expression at this time. He suddenly had a plan in his mind. This Xiahou Cangqiong must have been bewitched by the Flying Rakshasa to find this place.
The Nascent Soul cultivator he sensed at the entrance of the outside world was him. After entering, Xiahou Cangqiong also felt that his plan was flawless and that no one knew about it. Thus, when he was breaking through the formation, he was unscrupulous and allowed him to discover him.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't discovered him, Yi Tian immediately raised the Taiyuan Sword in his hand, which turned into a thin thread and slowly extended along the corner of the wall.
Suddenly, the Demon Soul Banner shook violently. Then, Xiahou Cangqiong's expression changed rapidly, and he shouted, "Who dares to sneak attack me?" Although he said that, his hands didn't slow down. He directly put his hands together and took out a blue ice crystal shield to block in front of him.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Yi Tian directly changed to a strong attack. With a spiritual gesture in his hand, he controlled the Taiyuan Sword to use Sword Qi like Silk, which turned into a thin thread and attacked Xiahou Cangqiong's back.
He shouted, "Thief, how dare you!" Then, he swung the ice crystal shield to protect his back.
There was a loud sizzling sound. It was the sound of a thin thread of green light hitting the ice crystal shield. However, it couldn't break through with one hit.
While attacking, Yi Tian also exposed his whereabouts. After Xiahou Cangqiong's Divine Thought swept over, his face revealed a ferocious expression as he said, "It's you again, a guy who pretends to be weak. Don't think that you can hide the truth from the masses. This time, I'll have a good fight with you."
Yi Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. After glancing at Xiahou Cangqiong, he knew that the latter was only using the powerful Demon Realm Cultivation Methods that he had obtained from the Flying Rakshasa's Yuanying.
However, there wasn't much Demon Qi in this realm to begin with. Moreover, Xiahou Cangqiong had only cultivated for less than a hundred years and was seriously injured in the battle back then. It would take a long time for him to recover.
After confirming this, Yi Tian didn't beat around the bush. He directly formed a seal with both hands and controlled the Taiyuan Sword to continue attacking Xiahou Cangqiong. However, after a series of sparks, it seemed that the Taiyuan Sword couldn't break through the ice crystal shield. At this time, a strange blue light appeared in Xiahou Cangqiong's eyes. Then, he put away the Demon Soul Flag and stretched out his hands, turning into a blue ray of light that attacked Yi Tian.
This move was exactly the same as when he fought the Flying Rakshasa back then. Yi Tian hurriedly performed an escape technique and darted out of the hall from the side. Then, Xiahou Cangqiong's blue ray of light followed him out. Moreover, his speed seemed to be 30% faster. The two of them clashed in the square outside the main hall. Two large blue hands grabbed at each other, and two blue rays of light suddenly shot out from the hands and hit the green protective shield hard.
With a bang, Yi Tian was suppressed by the sudden heavy blow and fell to the ground. He took three steps back before he could fend off the force that was eroding him.
At this time, Xiahou Cangqiong turned in the air and locked onto Yi Tian's figure. He directly descended and was ready to give chase.
After a golden light emerged from Yi Tian's skin, his whole body flashed with a dazzling light. After two bangs, the two of them clashed fiercely in the air. Yi Tian and Xiahou Cangqiong each took more than ten steps back before they could stabilize themselves.
