While Yan Zhaoge and the others searched for the Immortal Extermination Sword, Feng Yunsheng followed his instructions and searched for the traces left behind by the Lord of the Daoist Way’s cave manor. She hoped to obtain more clues so that they could locate the Immortal Ending Sword in the future.
After Feng Yunsheng was done, she rushed to the agreed location and met up with Yan Zhaoge and the others. Finally, she suddenly made a move and killed Yin Jiao, the Yellow Wind Devil, and the others, helping Yan Zhaoge and the others to break out of the encirclement and turn the tables around.
On the other side, the Incongruence Divine Mother had also successfully obtained the Immortal Extermination Sword.
Everything went smoothly, and everyone was satisfied.
However, the new information obtained from Yang Jian alerted Yan Zhaoge and the others.
“Although we can’t be absolutely sure that Yang Erlang’s information is true, we have to prepare for the worst.”
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples and said, “If we’re not careful, we might be able to turn the tables around.”
Although they had the three swords in hand, the difficulty of plucking a Dao Ancestor’s teeth from the tiger’s mouth wasn’t small at all.
If they were careless, they might just end up as food.
Previously, they had painstakingly planned for such a long time. Finally, they could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
If they hesitated for the sake of stability, they wouldn’t be able to change their current situation.
Their originally good momentum of rapid development might stop at any time, or even reverse.
“We must obtain the Immortal Ending Sword. However, we have to think about how to obtain it.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “If the news doesn’t leak out, the heretics wouldn’t know that we’ve already discovered the truth. They wouldn’t keep it a secret either. They would definitely covet the entire Immortal Extermination Formation and even want to capture us all.”
Under such circumstances, things would naturally fall on the next time Yan Zhaoge and the others searched for the sword.
The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the Immortal Court, and even the Western Pure Lands might have secretly set up a trap, using the Immortal Ending Sword as bait to bait Yan Zhaoge and the others.
“However, if they want to bait us and walk into their trap unknowingly, they would have to take out some money. Otherwise, even if we don’t know about it, we wouldn’t fall for it.”
Yan Zhaoge let out a light sigh, “The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord wouldn’t be holding onto the Immortal Ending Ancient Sword. Otherwise, it would be very easy for you, Yunsheng, Senior Suo, the Incongruence Divine Mother, and the other Daoism Heavenly Immortals to notice it. If he wants to fish, he has to throw out this bait.”
“There’s a chance that we’ll bite the bait. The danger lies in how we’ll unhook the hook and how we’ll escape from the layers of nets.”
Feng Yunsheng understood, “After all, he is a Dao Realm expert and he is nearby. If he attacks, he won’t give us time to refine the Celestial Slashing Ancient Sword and set up the Celestial Slaying Formation. At that time, we won’t be able to block the might of the Dao Ancestor and we will be captured.”
Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, “Danger, danger. Fortune is always accompanied by danger. Let’s see what methods Yang Erlang has. Otherwise, the danger this time would probably be even greater.”
“He said that he wanted to exchange for an opportunity with the help of the Jade Virtual Glazed Lamp, but where did he start?” Feng Yunsheng raised her eyebrows slightly, “Could it be that he’s looking for the Dipankara Ancient Buddha?”
During the Ancient era, there were rumors of three lamps. They were related to the Primordial Heavenly Lord, the Lord of Dao and Virtue, as well as the Dipankara Ancient Buddha who had entered the dao and transformed into the Dipankara Daoist.
Yan Zhaoge pondered, “That’s possible. However, that’s very ancient. If there’s really a trick to it, I feel like the Dipankara Ancient Buddha had already planned it during the Ancient era.”
At that time, he had entered Daoism and transformed into the Dipankara Daoist. His relationship with Daoism was rather close, and it was convenient for him to satisfy his needs.
Yan Zhaoge even suspected that the reason why he had joined Daoism in the past was because of this place.
The related matters had already happened a long time ago.
Yan Zhaoge felt that it shouldn’t have been delayed until now. The opportunity that Yang Jian mentioned might not be related to the Dipankara Ancient Buddha.
In comparison, he recalled some records in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Martial Repository.
In this era, before the Great Calamity, the Jade Clear Daoism’s experts had subdued devils. After sending the Devil of Fire of that era to perish, they had coincidentally obtained a bit of the fire seed devil’s spirit.
At that time, in order to further understand the matter of vanquishing devils, the fire seed devil’s spirit was preserved.
However, it wasn’t easy to preserve it. The Jade Clear Daoism’s martial art practitioners could only think of the Jade Illusory Palace’s Jade Illusory Glazed Lamp and the Eight Scenic Palace’s Eight Scenic Palace Lantern.
After visiting the Elder Lord at the Tushita Palace, the Elder Lord directed them to the Jade Clear lineage’s Jade Illusory Palace.
Since then, the fire seed devil’s spirit had been preserved within the Jade Illusory Glazed Lamp.
Compared to the ancient relationship between the Jade Illusory Glazed Lamp and the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, the era of this matter was much closer.
Yan Zhaoge’s intuition told him that what Yang Jian said was related to this fire seed devil’s spirit.
Only, Yan Zhaoge had a few guesses about who Yang Jian was using this thing to communicate with. However, he couldn’t be sure.
“If he’s talking to the Nine Underworlds, what did the Nine Underworlds trade the Immortal Extermination Sword for?”
Yan Zhaoge pondered as he sped through the boundless void.
“Oh, right. Everyone congratulated you upon meeting you, but I haven’t congratulated you yet.”
While walking, Yan Zhaoge said, “Congratulations on ascending to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. You’re now undying and coexisting with the world.”
Feng Yunsheng, who was in his right eye, sighed and said, “I’ve finally taken this step. Looking back, I still feel like I’m walking on thin ice.”
Yan Zhaoge also sighed softly, “This time, you’ll have to take the risk.”
“It’s fine.”
Feng Yunsheng said gently, “Since I’ve walked on this path, I’ve reached a height that many others might not even be able to reach in thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It’s only natural for me to take on more risks. Besides, the outcome is good.”
She smiled, “I feel that it’s good to be able to accompany you like this, and not worry about whether I’ll be a burden to you. No matter how big the risk is, it’s fine.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled as well, but he didn’t reply.
The biggest and most dangerous trial had yet to arrive.
“Oh, right. I obtained a decent treasure this time,” said Feng Yunsheng with a smile.
An illusory figure appeared in Yan Zhaoge’s right eye. It was a small bell that resembled a bell.
“Soul Absorbing Bell.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Indeed, it’s a powerful treasure for slaughter. It can kill most of those below the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. If Senior Gao didn’t possess the Immortal Trapping Sword, he might not have been able to deal with this treasure. This was all thanks to Yin Jiao’s Jade Clear lineage cultivation being crippled by the Lord of Broad Accomplishment. Due to that, he could only cultivate unorthodox arts and couldn’t unleash the Soul Absorbing Bell’s full might.”
“This treasure can still be used against Grand Heavenly Immortals.”
Feng Yunsheng said, “It can also be used as one of our sect’s greatest treasures. If someone were to bring it along, they could attack or defend.”
After pondering for a while, Yan Zhaoge said, “Precisely because it’s useful against Grand Heavenly Immortals, the most suitable owner is still you.”
