Boom boom boom~
An earth-shattering phenomenon erupted from the direction of Kunwu Mountain's Devil Suppressing Pagoda, a beam of treasure light shooting straight into the sky.
It was accompanied by bursts of Buddhist chanting, the sound so grand it could probably be heard throughout the entire Kunwu Mountain.
This was like a signal, telling everyone that there were good things there.
When the treasure light appeared, Li Feiyu and his companions were resting in the Kunwu Hall square, and each of them showed surprise.
Li Feiyu turned to look at Mrs. Mu, "You should know what that represents, right?"
Mrs. Mu hesitated, "If I'm not mistaken, that is very likely the treasure light of a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure."
"There really is a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure?!"
Han Li asked, surprised.
"Now that it's come to this, don't hide it anymore. You'd better explain clearly what's over at the Devil Suppressing Pagoda."
Mrs. Mu looked at everyone and nodded. Her best course of action now was to cooperate with Li Feiyu.
"There is indeed a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure in the Devil Suppressing Pagoda."
"It was left by Ancient Cultivators to suppress the Ancient Devil."
"We don't know the specifics."
Han Li frowned and asked, "Mrs. Mu, how did you know about such a secret matter?"
"It's likely that only a handful of people in the entire Great Jin know about this."
Mrs. Mu hesitated, then sighed, "That's because my Huaxian Sect is one of the lineages left by the three Kunwu Elders. My Sect has always been near a large Restriction somewhere in Kunwu Mountain, sealing it."
"One of the purposes was to guard the Seal."
"However, after such a long time, mistakes are bound to happen."
"If it weren't for the Ye Family Cultivator breaking the grand Restriction, my Huaxian Sect wouldn't have known the location of the sealing Restriction, nor would we have had the opportunity to enter Kunwu Mountain."
The Young Man Xu said, "So you came here to check if the Seal was broken, or if it was indeed broken, to reactivate the grand sealing Restriction?"
"More or less."
Mrs. Mu and her companions naturally wouldn't tell the whole truth. Checking the Seal was indeed one of their goals.
But if the Seal was truly broken, and they could run, they wouldn't stay.
After all, Mrs. Mu knew better than them how powerful the sealed person was. Even if it wasn't a Deity Transformation, it definitely possessed battle power close to Deity Transformation.
Besides that, they also wanted to see if there was an opportunity to fish in troubled waters and snatch the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
However...
Mrs. Mu glanced at Li Feiyu. The other party was unfathomable, making her unable to gauge him.
It was fine now while they were at peace, but if a chaotic battle truly broke out, it would be bad.
His threat level was probably second only to the sealed Ancient Devil Sacred Ancestor and the Wolf Demon Beast Concubine.
But looking at it from another angle, with Li Feiyu's strength, if used well, he could become a major force against them.
"Everyone, there's a strange phenomenon at the Devil Suppressing Pagoda. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Mrs. Mu said, "This is the duty of my Huaxian Sect. We are duty-bound."
The Young Man Xu looked at Mrs. Mu, then at Li Feiyu.
With such a lineup, even if they truly encountered the so-called Ancient Devil leader, he would be extremely weak after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, and it would be impossible for him to possess Deity Transformation strength.
If they could get Li Feiyu to take the lead as the main force against the Ancient Devil, perhaps they would have a chance to contend for the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, each one possessed immense power.
If he could possess it, with it, even a Deity Transformation personally might not be able to do anything.
With it, confronting Li Feiyu and invading Heavenly South would not be a problem.
The Young Man Xu said, "Since Brother Li invites, we will naturally accompany him."
"Senior Brother Li, I'll pass. It sounds a bit dangerous." Han Li hesitated, preparing to leave.
Li Feiyu suddenly sent a voice transmission to him, "Junior Brother Han, I remember you wanted to refine 'Returning yang water', didn't you? The Crimson Crow recently devoured the Fire Spirit born from the Sun True Fire, and the Sun True Fire has advanced. He can help you."
"Moreover, I might need to borrow your Void Heaven Cauldron for a bit. To control a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, one must learn the Technique. I know that although you can't unleash its full power for now, you can already activate it simply."
Hearing Li Feiyu say this, Han Li was still a bit hesitant to make a decision.
"Then I'll tell you another piece of news: 'Returning yang water' has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. If you use it on the Profound Heaven Immortal Vine, perhaps there will be an unexpected miracle."
"Of course, I'm just guessing."
This news undoubtedly shocked Han Li.
The Profound Heaven Immortal Vine, Han Li naturally coveted it!
If it could be revived, coupled with the small bottle Spiritual Liquid, he had full confidence in cultivating it to maturity.
Once successful, it would undoubtedly become the most precious treasure in his hands.
Forget about some Spirit Realm Demon Beast Concubine, even True Spirits would come to snatch it if they knew!
Just then, a flash of white light emanated from the Spirit Beast Pouch, and a small, snow-white silver fox appeared, resting on Han Li's shoulder and communicating with Han Li through their mental link.
"Master, go. I feel like someone there is calling me."
"Even if it's not for me, it's for your future Dao. The Spirit Treasure produced by the Profound Heaven Immortal Vine is top-tier even in the Spirit Realm, enough to cause a racial war."
"The Sun True Fire is very rare and probably very difficult to find in the Mortal Realm. It requires a certain amount of luck."
Han Li said, "Silver Moon, have you remembered anything?"
"I've remembered some, but it's still a bit blurry. But I'm sure that if I go there and see the person or thing calling me, I'll definitely remember more."
Han Li's eyes flickered. He had always prioritized caution.
Although the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was precious, if he had enough strength, he would naturally participate in fighting for it.
But hearing Mrs. Mu, if the Ancient Devil leader in the Devil Suppressing Pagoda hadn't come out, that would be fine, but if it escaped, it would become incredibly dangerous.
If he wasn't confident, in the past, Han Li would naturally avoid it.
But now, Li Feiyu was tempting him with news of the Sun True Fire and the Profound Heaven Immortal Vine.
And there was Silver Moon.
Although their relationship was nominally master and servant, Han Li saw her more as a very important confidante.
"I understand. I'll go."
Li Feiyu smiled slightly. The others didn't delay and immediately headed to the Devil Suppressing Pagoda.
On the way, Li Feiyu and his companions saw the dried-up bodies of Elder Fu and Chang, their Nascent Souls missing.
Beside them were a broken crimson Flying Sword and a largely shattered purple-dark pearl.
Han Li sighed softly.
It was clear that the two of them couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to fish in troubled waters at the Devil Suppressing Pagoda, but they met with an unexpected accident before even arriving and were killed.
"Fate is unpredictable."
Li Feiyu also let out a long sigh, using this to warn himself not to be careless.
The Storage Pouches of Elder Fu and Chang were both taken, a pity for those two Baby Nurturing Pills.
They continued for a short while.
Li Feiyu felt a faint, almost imperceptible aura constantly hiding around them.
"Is it that Ten Thousand Year Corpse Bear?"
Li Feiyu felt it was eighty percent likely, but he was only a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator.
Although he held a Blood Blade refined from a demonic marrow drill, its power was astonishing. If it truly dared to attack them, it would surely be seeking death.
All the Restrictions on the way to the Devil Suppressing Pagoda had been broken clean by those ahead, so Li Feiyu and his companions had a smooth journey.
Before long, they arrived at the square in front of the Devil Suppressing Pagoda.
Looking at the strange four-sided platform, Lin Yinping asked in surprise, "How is this like a pagoda? Why is it built so strangely?"
The entire Devil Suppressing Pagoda consisted only of a huge four-sided platform, with an entrance on the platform leading underground.
Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "This Devil Suppressing Pagoda is different from secular pagodas. The Ancient Cultivators built it upside down."
"The spire points down, and the base is up, so the further down you go, the stronger the Demon Beasts and devils imprisoned there are."
Everyone understood.
Entering the Devil Suppressing Pagoda, the first few layers were very spacious, with traces of fighting everywhere, as well as dismembered limbs, charred and purplish corpses.
Many people had died with wide, unseeing eyes.
The battle was fierce, and the Young Man Xu and his companions felt a chill in their hearts.
They hadn't even seen the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure yet, and the struggle was already like this. When they truly started fighting for it, it would probably be even more earth-shattering.
Upon reaching the sixth layer, as in the plot, they encountered Bai Yaoyi.
She had sealed herself, allowing her to escape death.
The Great Cultivators could break it, but in order to save time, no one paid attention to her.
If no one helped her, Bai Yaoyi would not have been able to escape on her own. In the end, she would have died.
Li Feiyu acted and rescued her.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Han. Without you, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Han Li advised, "Fellow Daoist Bai, the Devil Suppressing Pagoda is extremely dangerous. Looking at your current state, it's best not to proceed further."
"We saw the bodies of Fellow Daoist Fu and Fellow Daoist Chang on the stairs."
Bai Yaoyi's expression changed slightly, and she sighed, "It was my own greed that was too great. I have already truly witnessed the danger, and now that I am severely injured, I plan to leave now."
"Are you going down?"
Han Li said, "Yes."
"Then please take care. Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Li, if you ever come to the Xiaoji Palace in the future, this palace will surely entertain you well."
Li Feiyu and Han Li nodded slightly.
Bai Yaoyi glanced at the four Demon Beasts again, then transformed into a white streak of light and departed.
Although she didn't know why the Silver-Winged Yaksha and the other Demon Beasts were with Li Feiyu and his companions, since they could coexist peacefully, there was probably an agreement or some other change.
She couldn't worry about others now. Kunwu Mountain was now a man-eating demonic mountain, and it was best to leave as soon as possible.
The group continued downwards, arriving at the seventh layer, which was also empty.
They quickly found the stone chamber containing the teleportation array to the eighth layer.
However, what was strange was that there were two stone chambers here.
Everyone hesitated.
Li Feiyu looked at Han Li and asked, "Which place do you think we should go to?"
Han Li asked Silver Moon, and Silver Moon said, "Both teleportation arrays have a familiar aura, but the white one is much stronger and more intense, so it should be more closely related to me."
"I think we should go to the white teleportation array. The black one is full of evil Qi, which makes one feel uncomfortable."
"Then we'll go to the white one."
Li Feiyu smiled and said, "However, this teleportation array is a small one, estimated to only accommodate two people at a time."
"How about this: Junior Brother Han, you and the Silver-Winged Yaksha teleport first, then you two, Fellow Daoist Xu, then Mrs. Mu and your Junior Sister, and finally us."
"Do you have any objections?"
Li Feiyu doing this naturally had deep meaning. After all, among everyone present, Han Li was the one he trusted the most.
He didn't trust the rest; it was all about interests.
Even the Silver-Winged Yaksha and the other four Demon Beasts were the same.
"No objections."
Han Li and Li Feiyu exchanged glances, then stepped onto the teleportation array with the Silver-Winged Yaksha.
They teleported in the previous order.
The few people on the eighth layer looked over when they saw someone entering.
The light of the teleportation array continuously lit up, causing them to frown deeply.
Those who were still alive at this time were all Great Cultivators, or top-tier Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators who could temporarily resist the attacks of Great Cultivators.
After Li Feiyu entered, he looked around.
The main building here was a palace.
Near the palace were a huge grand Restriction and dozens of altars. On each altar was a several-zhang-tall white jade stone figure.
They were clad in golden armor and held golden great blades, cooperating with the grand Restriction's Restrictions, unleashing beams of golden light to attack the Cultivators from before, not falling behind.
Above the palace, ten zhang high, a uniquely styled emerald wooden ruler floated, emitting a faint green light.
The wooden ruler was ancient in style, slowly rotating. With each rotation, countless silver lotus flowers appeared around it, along with eight Spirit Beast phantoms of varying sizes, emitting clear chirps towards the wooden ruler.
"It's you!"
The one who spoke was the Ye Family Great Elder. With just him and two Ye Family Nascent Souls, it was very difficult to break through this grand Restriction.
"We meet again, Grand Elder." Li Feiyu chuckled, "It looks like your array-breaking is very difficult. How about we give you a hand?"
The Ye Family Great Elder's expression was ugly. Previously, Han Li and his companions hadn't acted, but now, one by one, they flew towards the palace, forcibly joining the array-breaking ranks.
The Ye Family Great Elder was helpless. There were several people here whose strength was no less than his, and he didn't dare to stop them, so he could only endure it.
Li Feiyu didn't make a move, his gaze fixed on the eight spirit ruler.
There were nearly eight Nascent Soul Late Stage battle strengths making a move. Although their attacks varied, their auras were all incredibly powerful.
One white jade stone figure after another was shattered, and the altars were also destroyed.
If not for this, the white jade stone figures would re-condense.
In another dark space, Yuan Sha Sacred Ancestor was continuously breaking through the Restriction with the help of the demonic artifacts brought by the Ancient Devil's blood flames.
Although she had been sealed for tens of thousands of years, her great Divine Abilities were still present, and each Divine Ability was extremely astonishing.
Black demonic flames surged, sweeping around and clearing away the dense Restrictions.
From the looks of it, it wouldn't be long until it was completely broken.
At the crack in the Kunwu Mountain Seal, two or three hundred people had gathered, including more than a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators. They were all waiting for the crack to stabilize.
The Tianmo Sect's Seven Wonders True Man suddenly arrived, causing some changes.
Both of their great Sects knew the inside story of Kunwu Mountain and each brought means to restrain the Ancient Devil Sacred Ancestor, then entered together.
Others who tried to imitate them all died in the spatial crack.
This made them begin to be patient and prepare to wait a few more days.
However, in a few days, everything would probably be too late.
In the space where Li Feiyu and his companions were, half an hour later, the giant grand Restriction was broken by them, and all the white jade stone figures were also swept away.
Just then, Silver Moon's voice echoed in Han Li's mind. It seemed her memories were continuously resurfacing.
She told Han Li that the existence in the palace was about to awaken, and that was her other half.
Han Li was horrified.
After thinking for a moment, he told Li Feiyu about it.
Li Feiyu feigned surprise, raised an eyebrow, and replied via voice transmission, "Understood. I have it under control."
The next moment, an astonishing Spiritual Pressure surged from the palace, then after a loud bang, a yellow light broke through from above the palace.
The yellow light formed a giant hand, attempting to grab the eight spirit ruler in the air.
But a blue-robed figure appeared, and after letting out a burst of charming laughter, it opened its mouth and spat out a beam of light, shattering the large yellow hand.
A scream emanated, and the figure in the yellow light flew backward, falling to the ground.
"Seventh Uncle?!" The Ye Family Great Elder exclaimed in surprise after recognizing the person.
