第一百七十六章 秘密洞府

Although he only roughly noted the location where Sovereign Demon discarded his waste pills, Lin Xuan easily found it after fully releasing his divine sense to search.

Looking at the three red and white spirit herbs in his palm, even with Lin Xuan's composure, a hint of excitement still flashed across his face.

Though they appeared devoid of essence energy now, as long as he used the Blue Star Sea for purification...

Of course, based on Lin Xuan’s experience, the higher the grade of the pills, the harder it was to purify. So he wasn’t planning to attempt it right away; when his cultivation reached the peak of Foundation Establishment stage and the volume of the Star Sea increased several times, then he could try again.

Pulling out a jade bottle from his chest, Lin Xuan carefully placed the three pills inside.

This time, for him, this was an ideal conclusion. The Extreme Evil Sovereign and several high-ranking experts from both the Righteous and Demon sects had witnessed the Heavenly Dust Pill become worthless trash. No one could have imagined it would end up in his hands.

Lin Xuan surveyed his surroundings but didn’t leave immediately. After a brief moment of contemplation, he released his divine sense again. This time, the search area was much broader.

After a few moments, Lin Xuan’s face showed signs of disappointment.

He had hoped for more discoveries, such as the techniques or treasures from Demon Tyrant Sovereign, but to no avail.

Theessence soul self-explosion left nothing behind—neither his body nor any storage pouches.

As for the jade cylinder, it was uncertain, but the treasure shouldn’t have been destroyed. Lin Xuan frowned and released his divine sense again, but still found nothing.

Since he couldn’t find anything, Lin Xuan gave up. Just as he was about to leave, something made him pause.

Lin Xuan slowly flew in front of the mountain wall. It looked no different from an ordinary one, yet when he touched it, it felt icy and cool, just like before.

What a marvelous illusion.

A look of admiration appeared on Lin Xuan’s face as he cast a spell with his hand. Several beams of light shot up.

Despite their efforts seeming futile, Lin Xuan showed no surprise. This was the secret lair of Demon Tyrant Sovereign; setting up underground restrictions would be no small feat. If they could easily break through them, that would be strange indeed.

Lin Xuan had little experience with illusions and high-level restrictions but figured that gradually depleting its energy might work to break it down.

Recalling this, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and a charming young girl appeared in mid-air.

"Master."

"Hmm."

Lin Xuan nodded. His son’s strength was not weak either, so he naturally wanted to call her out as an assistant. Together, they could speed up the process of breaking through the restrictions.

Although the return of Righteous or Demon experts was unlikely, Lin Xuan didn’t want to stay here for too long just in case.

His son took out the Jade Snow Ring while Lin Xuan raised Wu Gou. At the same time, he tightly gripped the Hundred Souls Banner and activated his inner essence...

Three days later.

A loud explosion echoed as a dozen-foot-long evil dragon, engulfed in flames, fiercely collided with the mountain wall. However, strangely enough, no stone fragments flew around; after a violent tremor, the mountain wall melted like ice, vanishing completely. In its place, the elegant pavilion reappeared in mid-air.

This was Demon Tyrant Sovereign’s secret lair!

Lin Xuan was overjoyed as he turned off his spells and showed a sense of relief on his face. He remembered that Extreme Evil Sovereign merely spat out some green mist and easily broke through the illusion, unlike him who had been bombarding it for three days.

That was still his secondessence soul avatar with cultivation at the Condensation Core stage.

However, Lin Xuan quickly hid his disappointment. Seeing the gap only spurred him to work harder; one day, he would become a revered master.

He glanced at the pavilion and called his son back before transforming into a flash of light and entering it without hesitation.

Once inside, Lin Xuan was startled.

From the outside, the pavilion appeared very exquisite but wasn’t large—just a three-story building.

But once he entered, he found it vast beyond measure.

Passing through a winding corridor, an estate-like structure appeared in front of him.

Lin Xuan was initially taken aback but soon let go of his surprise as he scanned the area with his divine sense and found no other restrictions. Only then did he step forward confidently.

First came a garden filled with exotic birds and beasts. The immortal crane danced gracefully, but upon using his divine sense to observe, Lin Xuan realized they were illusions, though still quite pleasant to look at.

It seemed Demon Tyrant Sovereign also knew how to enjoy himself. Lin Xuan shook his head; one could never judge a book by its cover. He didn’t linger here and directly entered the estate.

Training room!

Lin Xuan glanced at the plaque above and pushed open the door.

This was an approximately seven-meter-long and wide room, empty except for several cushions arranged simply.

A look of disappointment flashed across Lin Xuan’s face as he realized Demon Tyrant Sovereign hadn’t left anything behind. However, instead of leaving immediately, he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense but found nothing.

Lin Xuan sighed and was about to turn around when he decided to check the other rooms since there were no treasures here.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as his right foot stepped over the threshold, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped. His gaze fell on several cushions in the center of the room, his face showing signs of contemplation.

On the surface, nothing seemed out of place—both cultivators and demons needed to practice meditation. A few cushions were normal for a training room.

But there seemed to be too many!

According to Lin Xuan’s knowledge, Demon Tyrant Sovereign was always alone, traveling solo without any friends or disciples.

In other words, this training room was used solely by him.

These cushions… Lin Xuan counted them and found nine in total. The number was clearly excessive.

Of course, most people wouldn’t pay attention to such minor details, but the more he thought about it, the more mysterious it seemed. He turned around and walked towards the cushions.
