第四卷 七星岛 第七百六十二章 破禁

Lin Xuan did not speak, but his eyes flashed with an unusual light as if he was deep in thought. Moon's expression changed slightly when she saw this, and obediently closed her mouth. After a long while, Lin Xuan sighed.

"Master, have you come up with a good idea?!"

"No," Lin Xuan shook his head. "I carefully considered the Nine Heavens Profound Technique, but it only records several extremely powerful secret arts that require an advanced婴 stage to practice..."

Moon was speechless as she listened. Not only could they not talk about the qilin fire vein, let alone mention the vague middle-stage.

Despite having no leads, Lin Xuan still refused to give up and continued taking out various treasures to attack the protective barrier in front of him.

Several days passed again. Lin Xuan stretched his hand out and tapped on his storage bag. A white light flashed, and a palm-sized token appeared above his head.

"What is this?" Lin Xuan's expression froze as he originally intended to take out the spirit mirror, but due to his haste, he ended up taking out this item instead—this was the Jade Profound Sect's leader's command token. Although it had some minor abilities, it was useless against the current predicament. Just as Lin Xuan wanted to put it away in his chest, he suddenly felt a warm sensation on the surface of the jade token.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of interest and spread out his palm. A vivid red hue appeared on the crystal-clear surface of the jade token.

"Fire Spirit Power!"

Before Lin Xuan could speak, Moon had already leaned over to see and covered her mouth with her hand, her face filled with surprise. "Master, this jade token seems to be reacting with that barrier."

Lin Xuan was equally surprised, staring at the strange treasure in his hands as thoughts raced through his mind. Could this item have some connection with the ancient qilin cave?

Not likely!

One involved the ancient beast of Spirit Island, while the other was related to cloud sea cultivation. The two seemed to have no connection.

However, Lin Xuan quickly stopped his meaningless contemplation and decided that whatever had happened in ancient times was irrelevant. What mattered now was how he could break this prohibition.

With this thought, Lin Xuan extended his hand and lightly tapped it, pouring the purest spirit power into it. The light flickered as the flowers, birds, insects, and fish on its back came to life.

Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of joy as he quickly took out another token. This item was similar to the Jade Profound Sect's leader's command token but was something Lin Xuan had obtained in Yanzhou.

He cast a levitation spell.

The two jade tokens immediately floated up.

To be honest, Lin Xuan didn't know how to use them to break this prohibition. What he did now was mostly trial and error. The simplest and most direct method was to inject spirit power.

However, the rate at which it absorbed the spirit power far exceeded his expectations. After a few cups of tea's worth of time passed, Lin Xuan's face turned slightly pale.

His spiritual energy had depleted by nearly 90%, but the two jade tokens seemed bottomless pits.

Lin Xuan couldn't help muttering to himself about whether he was on the right path or not, but since things had come to this point, there was no way he would give up halfway.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xuan flipped his left hand and revealed an inch-wide jade belt. He didn't know what material it was made from, but many talismans were engraved on its surface, indicating that it wasn't just any ordinary item.

A storage pouch!

This was another treasure Lin Xuan had obtained in the Jade Profound Sect. It could instantly restore a cultivator's depleted spiritual energy, making it an extraordinary and heaven-defying treasure.

However, there were limits to how many times one could use it, so Lin Xuan had always been very careful with it. He reluctantly took out this precious item now.

After a while, Lin Xuan's face turned even paler as his spiritual energy was completely depleted. He quickly put the storage pouch around his waist.

A surge of abundant spirit power rushed into his dantian and flowed through his body. Lin Xuan's expression remained calm as he changed hand seals rapidly. The red light from both jade tokens became increasingly bright, shaking violently until they merged into one, with a faint strange humming sound coming out. Lin Xuan was delighted and continued to inject more spiritual energy.

From the red light, several small fish of varying sizes emerged, not exceeding a foot in length. Then came several birds that flew out as well. Lin Xuan's expression turned slightly odd as he reached out his hand and pointed at them.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xuan's mental command, the fish and birds swam towards the light screen and dived into it.

The light screen seemed to ripple like water waves after a stone was thrown in, gradually becoming more intense. Then with a soft pop, the entire protective barrier vanished without a trace.

"Master, we succeeded!"

Moon cheered loudly, her face filled with joy as Lin Xuan's expression mirrored hers. He smiled sincerely, having spent so much effort and finally hitting the right gamble.

Lin Xuan beckoned, and the two jade tokens' light dispersed, returning to his hands. "What is this treasure?" Moon asked curiously.

"I don't know."

Lin Xuan found these two jade tokens somewhat mysterious but had no idea about their origins. Perhaps Fairy Red Silk knew something, but getting clear information from her would be quite difficult.

With many thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan quickly put the matter aside and took a few breaths before stepping towards the building ahead.

Upon reaching the door, Lin Xuan did not immediately push it open; instead, he released his divine sense to survey the structure in front of him first.

Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise as he continued.

"This pavilion seems to be built with blood jade," Moon said. "Mm."

Blood jade was a material used for refining weapons, though not particularly rare, mostly used for mid-to-low-grade spirit artifacts. But the size of this building left Lin Xuan speechless—what a grand handiwork by an ancient qilin! After carefully examining it, he found no abnormalities and concluded that there were likely no other prohibitions present.

With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light shot out, pushing open the door to the pavilion. However, the scene inside was unclear due to thick white fog, and his divine sense was restricted, bouncing back as soon as it made contact.

Lin Xuan's expression turned alarmed.

He cast a sword qi, but it seemed to dissolve into thin air without leaving any trace. Lin Xuan's face darkened further; he could not afford to give up, but entering recklessly was too dangerous. Reluctantly, he summoned the Corpse Demon again.

"Go!"

Following Lin Xuan's mental command, the Corpse Demon entered the door fearlessly.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes, intending to use the Corpse Demon as a guide, but soon his expression turned bewildered—the connection between him and the Corpse Demon was cut off.

What kind of strange spirit fog could have such an effect?

Lin Xuan's doubts grew. But then he gritted his teeth; there was no turning back now. He had to take some risks. Lin Xuan summoned the Nine Heavens Moon Ring, used several defensive talismans consecutively to protect himself, and then entered the door with a confident stride.
