Zhang Yu did not care about the commotion behind him. He walked into the depths of the metal cabin. After the two of them passed by, the doors behind them closed one by one.
After walking through the long corridor, the last door was also closed. At this moment, the two of them entered a huge domed hall. Around them were layers of wide spiraling stairs. From bottom to top, they gradually retreated. One could see that there was a circular hall on each level.
Xu Chengtong said, "There are a total of seven levels here. In the past, I've only been to the first six levels. Only Zhan Ziji has been to the last level. I don't know what's hidden inside, but there must be something good. The array core is there."
At this moment, Zhang Yu's gaze swept across. In the hall in front of him, there were glass cabins. One could see that there were haggard Daoists lying inside. There were about 30 of them.
He said, "Dao Pawns?"
Xu Chengtong replied, "Yes, these are the Dao Pawns refined in You City. This Dao Pawns Technique was also taken from the cultivators in Shangchen. However, because it's not complete, we use a lot of precious medicine every time we refine it. We still need a period of time to refine it before it can be used."
Zhang Yu looked at them for a while. Although these Dao Pawns still had their original consciousness, they could not disobey the orders of their masters. They had been refined alive into this state, and the torture they had experienced before was unimaginable.
Not only that, he could feel that these Dao Pawns were experiencing some kind of pain at every moment. Their minds were almost crazy.
He shook his head and gently waved his sleeve. A ray of light surged out. All the glass cabins and the Dao Pawns inside dispersed at the same time. Not a single one was left behind.
After doing this, he stepped on the spiral stairs and went up to the second level.
In the hall on the second level, there were about 120 square jade platforms that were half the height of a person. They stood there very neatly.
On each jade pedestal, there was a magic tool shining with spiritual light. However, the left side had 60 digits, while the right side had 59 digits. It looked very asymmetrical. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is there one missing on the right side?"
Xu Chengtong stilled. He thought for a moment and said, "The closer to the front the talismans are, the better they are. Then the one missing, the talisman placed there is a gift from Zhan Ziji to his disciple."
Zhang Yu asked, "Is his disciple not here?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Zhan Ziji's disciple is cultivating in the main city right now. Zhan Ziji spent a lot of effort to send his disciple there. It's said that his disciple is very close to one of Xuan Zun's disciples. Zhan Ziji being able to sit in the first seat is also thanks to this disciple."
Zhang Yu asked, "Are all the artifacts here refined by your family?
Xu Chengtong shook his head and said, "Only a few. We lack precious materials. Even if we refine artifacts, we use them for ourselves.
Most of the artifacts here were stolen from Shangchen cultivators in the past few decades. If a subordinate cultivator has made a contribution, they will be given one as a reward. "
Zhang Yu took a look and walked forward. He saw a jade bead wrapped in fluorescent light at the place opposite the empty pedestal. He sensed it and there was a sound like waves coming from the bead.
He reached out and touched it, removing the restriction and taking the bead into his hand. At this moment, when he looked back, he suddenly felt that the layout here was much more pleasing to the eye.
After standing for a moment, he walked towards the third level. Xu Chengtong hurriedly followed him.
On the third floor, there were all kinds of scrolls and books. He flipped through them slightly and found that most of them were records of cultivation techniques. They were quite valuable. There was even a Xuan Pillar here. He tried to take a look at it, and there were many seals that he had never seen before.
He said, "Deacon Xu, there seems to be a lot of Xuanxiu in You City too?"
Xu Chengtong said, "There are quite a lot. Some were recruited by us. Some followed You City and left Tianxia more than seventy years ago."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Deacon Xu, I have never asked. How did you become a person of You City?"
Xu Chengtong said helplessly, "When that powerful person left Tianxia, my teacher was among those who followed him. Later, my teacher sent a letter and asked me to join him. First, it was difficult to disobey my teacher's orders. Second, Tianxia was suspicious of me because of my teacher. I couldn't stay any longer. So I had no choice but to join You City with my two junior martial brothers. "
Zhang Yu nodded. For True Cultivators, the kindness of teaching was greater than anything else. Later on, Xuanting strongly supported Xuanxiu. Perhaps this was one of the reasons.
He said, "I know that one of the cultivators who were caught before was your junior martial brother. You said that you have another junior martial brother. Is he also in the city?"
Xu Chengtong said, "My junior martial brother is much more powerful than me. He received the true teachings of my teacher. Now he is also in the main city and has taken over my teacher's position. If I didn't rely on his care, I wouldn't be able to hold the position of Deacon even if I had a lot of mana."
As Zhang Yu spoke to him, he flipped through the Dao books and slips around him. He found that there were also many books that mentioned how to reach the upper realm. Although most of them were methods of True Cultivation, they could still serve as a reference for him.
Based on these, even if there were no more valuable things later on, this trip was worth it.
After he finished reading, he continued to walk to the fourth floor. He found that there were some pills and precious medicines placed here, as well as many rare treasures.
Among them, he saw the Longevity Dendrobium. He didn't know if it was the one he took from the Wei Clan Army.
On the other hand, Xu Chengtong walked to the side and retrieved a jade slip from the table. After that, he walked over to Zhang Yu and presented it with both hands. He said, "This is the record of everything that happened here. Please take a look, Governor."
Zhang Yu took it and opened it to take a look. There were many detailed records of precious medicines. From the length of time they were sacrificed to the date they were stored in the warehouse, as well as their specific functions. Every single thing was clearly recorded.
The most precious thing here was a Dragon Pill that was said to have been left behind by a True Dragon. However, this thing was completely flawless. No one could use it as medicine, so it was hard to say whether it was real or fake.
Zhan Ziji even left a note on it, thinking that it was most likely a fake. However, he didn't write down his own guesses as to what it was.
Another precious item here was a small section of Ebony Wood the length of a little finger. This thing was said to have been nurtured from phoenix blood. If a disciple who had entered the Dao consumed it for a long time, it would have the effect of being reborn.
At this time, Xu Chengtong said angrily, "Ebony Wood only needs to be slightly powdered and mixed with medicine to have the ability to cleanse one's marrow and change one's blood. This thing originally had two sections, but Zhan Ziji cut off an entire section and gave it to his disciple to change her aptitude. When we asked him for some, he wasn't willing to give us even half!"
Zhang Yu waited until he finished reading the jade scroll. After some consideration, he took the few precious items, including the Ebony Wood and the Longevity Dendrobium. Only the item that seemed to be the Dragon Pill was left behind.
After he put the items into his astral pouch, he continued to head up.
The fifth floor was filled with all kinds of precious materials. There was no lack of materials that could be used to refine flying swords. However, after he examined them, he shook his head.
Except for a few of these things that could be seen, the rest couldn't be compared with the precious materials in the inner floor. He didn't know if all the good things were sent to the main city, or the things in the outer floor were born like this.
He just picked a few items and left this place. Soon, he came to the sixth floor.
However, this place was different from the previous five floors. There was a layer of restriction blocking the front.
He could see that these restrictions were not to stop outsiders, but to prevent some things inside from leaking out. So he asked, "What is placed here?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Inside are some things that were taken from the Evil God's territory. Many of them are tainted with the Evil God's aura, so they are sealed here." After a pause, he continued, "To open this seal, I need the jade talisman in your hand."
Zhang Yu took out the jade talisman again. He waved it in front of him, and the light curtain opened up, revealing the things inside.
The first thing he saw was a huge stone wall. Inside, there was a snake-haired woman carved out of stone twisting her body, as if she wanted to break free from inside.
Seeing the two of them outside, she began to continuously bewitch them. There were rustling sounds around them. It sounded like someone was whispering, but also like countless insects crawling in the corners.
Xu Chengtong smiled disdainfully and said, "This thing is said to be a treasure that sealed EsGod. However, it is useless to cultivators, so it was thrown here. It has been many years, and there are many similar things." He pointed to another place. "Patrol Officer, please take a look. That one too."
Zhang Yu looked over and saw that it was a skull that he couldn't tell what it was. There were three horns on it, but there was a pair of bright eyes in the fleshless eye sockets. At this moment, it was staring at them without blinking.
Xu Chengtong said, "There are many strange things like this in the Evil God's territory."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly. After the restriction light curtain revealed a gap, he could feel a warm current surging towards him.
He said, "Deacon Xu, you stay here first. I'll go in and take a look."
Xu Chengtong responded and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
Zhang Yu walked in, and the light curtain behind him fell.
When he arrived at the hall, he looked around. First, he reached out his hand and gently pressed on the skull. As a stream of heat flowed into his body, his eyes flashed with traces of electricity. After a few breaths, the monster's skull turned into a pile of dust.
He turned around and looked at the stone wall. The snake-haired woman on it seemed to have sensed danger and let out a shrill cry. It seemed to be a threat, but also a scream.
He was unmoved. He walked up and pressed his hand against the stone wall. This time, the heart light on his body also shook. A moment later, the stone wall turned into rubble with a loud bang.
He retracted his hand and walked to the next target.
Xu Chengtong waited outside for a long time. When he saw the light curtain open and Zhang Yu walk out, he hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Patrol Officer."
Zhang Yu looked up and said, "That's the seventh floor up there, right?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Yes. Other than You City's array pivot, Zhan Ziji must have hidden the best things there."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Deacon Xu, come with me to take a look."
