第五卷 天云十二州 第九百九十章 宝物

---

How could it be possible? A mere初级灵婴期 cultivator actually managed to shake this plane.

In the dark light, the demon's brows furrowed deeply as a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

It seems I underestimated Lord Lingyun Palace’s young master. He is far from an ordinary initial-stage cultivator.

He cannot let him escape!

With that thought, a trace of viciousness flashed across the demon's face before he transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished into the sky.

Boom!

On the other side, Tian Xiaojian's expression was also grim. His second元神 had already perished, so it was certain that his opponent would be rushing over with full force.

Speed must be fast; otherwise, the results will be unimaginable.

He did not want to face a后期灵婴 cultivator. Tian Xiaojian stopped holding back and used the Ghostly Heart Shattering Sword, casting numerous ghostly shadows. He fiercely tried to tear open the crack, but this process was not easy.

Although the crack was expanding gradually, the speed was too slow.

Tian Xiaojian gritted his teeth, threw away all distractions, and focused solely on manipulating his法宝.

In no time, a meal's worth of time had passed.

Suddenly, Tian Xiaojian shook his hand and released his神识. He could sense that demon, so it meant the opponent was less than a hundred miles away.

Tian Xiaojian's face turned slightly green.

A hundred miles for a后期 existence is merely a blink of an eye.

He looked at the gap; he still couldn't squeeze through it.

It seemed some sacrifice would be necessary.

Determined, Tian Xiaojian reached out and patted his chest, spitting out a blood mist.

The blood mist was quickly absorbed by the Ghostly Heart Shattering Sword.

The sword body turned red as a bloody stench spread around…

"Nai!"

Tian Xiaojian extended his finger, his expression heavy, pointing forward.

The Ghostly Heart Shattering Sword flashed, and a ferocious ghost face appeared on its surface. Although it was fleeting, the fierce aura made one shiver with fear.

He pointed ahead.

Then, this sword moved slowly but heavily towards him in a single slash.

Though slow, a pillar of light stretched from heaven to earth.

Crackling sounds filled his ears as if the surrounding primordial energy had been stirred.

Boom!

The ground trembled, and the crack was finally torn open. A one-meter-wide gap appeared before Tian Xiaojian's eyes. He felt a surge of joy but quickly turned serious because the demon was only ten miles away. Without hesitation, he squeezed through the crack.

As there was no attack, the spatial rift rapidly closed.

"Damn it!"

The demon’s figure appeared in the distance. Seeing his prey escape at the last moment from the trap, he could not help feeling both shocked and angry. He raised his hand and fiercely slashed forward, a black crescent moon blade appearing.

However, it was too late; the crack had already vanished. The blade's power was great but insufficient to break through space.

"Damn!

The demon was furious. A初级灵婴 cultivator escaping from him three times in a row was unimaginable. He almost wanted to explode with rage.

Suddenly, he turned his body and stared intently at the left side. Raising his hand, a wave of dark magic energy appeared.

Friend, if you are upset, what should we do? Why vent your anger on me?

A sigh echoed in Tian Xiaojian's ears as a milky white light appeared, fearlessly facing the后期 demon’s attack and instantly turning all the knife lights into nothingness.

"It is you!"

The demon's eyes narrowed. The figure before him was indeed Northern Wu True Monarch.

"Not wrong at all, it is precisely this old man."

"Why did you come here?" The demon's face returned to its normal color; he was a后期 existence and would not let the other party laugh at him.

"Nothing much, I was idle in Cloud Ridge Mountain. It’s better to help my friend than to do nothing."

Northern Wu True Monarch spoke.

"You are indeed considerate." The demon nodded, showing gratitude on his face, though his heart was far from it.

"Now that this slippery youth has escaped, what do you plan to do?"

"This is obvious; although the four Immortalless cultivators' souls can serve as a medium to activate the array, we cannot allow any variables. We must chase after him and extract his soul," the demon said fiercely.

"Agreed!"

Northern Wu True Monarch nodded. He did not want the Demon Ancestor's descent to fail. With a wave of his sleeves, a white light flew out, forming a short sword with an unusual design and significant fluctuations in spiritual energy. Of course, this was not his life-bound treasure.

The demon opened its mouth, emitting gray light—a black steel fork. The two后期 elders then operated their respective treasures, fiercely striking the void ahead.

Lin Xuan's initial impression of the cave dwelling of the Separation Period cultivator was much larger than he had imagined. This was Lin Xuan’s first feeling after using his神识 to explore. He let the two girls walk behind him, though the possibility was small, he feared hidden restrictions might be present.

Lin Xuan searched through one stone room after another. The initial few did not yield much, but after nearly half an hour, only one last stone room remained unexplored.

"Master, this final room can't also be empty?"

Moon's heart felt uneasy, while Lin Xuan was more optimistic: "Don’t worry; it won’t be."

"Why not?"

"Stupid girl, think about it. If there were no treasures in the cave dwelling, why would that ancient cultivator leave such a powerful array around? It’s like adding insult to injury," Lin Xuan said.

"Mmm, you’re right." Moon nodded, acknowledging her master's greater foresight.

However, while he spoke, Lin Xuan was not entirely calm. There were certainly treasures, but what kind and how many remained uncertain.

After all his efforts, Lin Xuan naturally hoped for a satisfactory收获.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan pushed the stone door. Accompanied by rumbling sounds, he entered the last quiet room.

The area was small, only about seven to eight meters square. Some luminescent gems were embedded in the stone walls. With his神念 sweeping over everything, all items became clear at once.

There wasn't much; just three boxes near the corner of the stone wall, and they looked dull with no standout features.

However, Lin Xuan's face revealed a hint of joy. The fewer the items, the more likely it was that some were high-quality treasures. More did not necessarily mean better. Lin Xuan was now looking forward to what this Separation Period senior would leave behind for him.
