Chapter 1669: Chapter 1655: Leaving the Palace

At the same time, in a certain black space, four figures shrouded in black Qi stood silently.

Three of them were You Quan, Hong Ku, and Ma Xiuxiu; the fourth, however, was a short figure in a black robe.

This person’s hand emitted sparkling black light, and soon after, a black demon butterfly about the size of a foot materialized in their palm, which burst into countless specks of black light with a "pop".

Upon witnessing this scene, You Quan and the other two let out a sigh of relief.

"It’s good that we made it in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! You Quan, the three of you actually failed to bring back the Sacred Bone Claw Spike, and Demon Ancestor Lord is extremely disappointed!" the short figure said to the other three in a cold voice.

"Subordinates admit their fault and ask for the Honorable One’s punishment!" You Quan and the others kneeled hastily, their voices trembling as they spoke.

The short figure snorted coldly, ignored the three, and took out a blood-colored Jade Symbol, which they activated with an incantation.

Blood Light flickered on the Jade Symbol, and voices that fluctuated in volume came from within, unintelligible to You Quan and the others who dared not even breathe heavily.

The short figure bowed halfway, nodding gently towards the Blood Light, an attitude of utmost respect.

A moment later, the Blood Light on the Jade Symbol slowly faded and returned to normal.

"Demon Ancestor Lord says he will give you one more chance. The Sacred Bone Claw Spike has now fallen into Shen Luo’s hands, what must be done does not need me to repeat, right?" the short figure put away the Jade Symbol and said to the three.

"Subordinates understand!" You Quan, overjoyed, immediately nodded.

Ma Xiuxiu’s lowered eyes briefly flashed a glint of light, then it disappeared at once.

...

Inside the Free and Easy Mirror, Shen Luo had dealt with Wu Luo’s affairs after death, and sat cross-legged beside the Demonslaying Divine Sword, with several treasures laid out before him, which were a dark red War Drum, a black-yellow short ruler, a bluish-green Long Knife, and a white Spider Web.

These four treasured items were spoils from the recent great battle, as well as searched from the Storage Magical Tools of Che Qingtian and Wu Luo.

The other things in the two persons’ Storage Magical Tools were not very precious, and had been stored within the Linlang Ring, leaving only these four treasures to be carefully examined.

The dark red War Drum and the black-yellow short ruler were the Nine Li Battle Drum and the Shrinking Earth Ruler, and Shen Luo had previously witnessed the Nine Li Battle Drum’s divine power.

As for the Shrinking Earth Ruler, he had previously taken it and had the Sky Fiend Corpse King perform a ritual to refine and use it.

With some knowledge about these two Magical Treasures, Shen Luo gave them a brief look before putting them aside and turning his gaze towards the bluish-green Long Knife.

This knife was none other than the Hongming Saber; although not yet refined, it exuded a ferocious aura from within and without.

"What a fine knife! This saber was purely forged for slaughter, sharp beyond compare, unyielding to anything!" Shen Luo picked up the Hongming Saber, nodding in approval.

"Young Master Shen, you must be careful. This Hongming Saber was forged by Huangdi Xuanyuan using a Ten Thousand Year Green Crystal from the Ruins, along with thirty-three top-level Yin attribute materials, supplemented by essence blood of a hundred thousand from the Demon Clan and essence souls of a hundred thousand from the Demon Race, intending to apply the method of using evil to control evil against the Demon Clan. However, the Hongming Saber was too sinister; after slaying each person it would absorb all of their essence blood and souls, and after killing a number of Chiyou’s great generals, the saber’s power greatly increased, and it even backlashed against its master. Huangdi Xuanyuan originally wanted to destroy it but, lamenting over the saber’s divine might and after much consideration, he applied a seal to it, and thus it has been passed down to this day. This saber is extremely dangerous, indeed not inferior to the Blood Claw Stab. Should you use this saber in the future, you must be exceedingly cautious," warned Fire Spirit Child.

"Oh, so that’s the origin of the Hongming Saber." Shen Luo nodded in understanding, put down the Hongming Saber, and picked up the final treasured item, a white Spider Web.

This item was obtained from Wu Luo’s Storage Magical Tool. Wu Luo had previously used this treasure, which contained exceptionally strong illusion powers. If not for Ghost Teng Master sacrificing himself to block it, Shen Luo would probably have had his soul sent to the Underworld by now.

Shen Luo picked up the white Spider Web and began to refine it with the Innate Treasure-refining Technique.

The white spider web quickly shines with threads of white light, slowly floating up as if a giant white spider is stretching its body.

Streams of white mist spread out from within the spider web, forming a sea of white fog that swirls seductively, making one feel confused and enchanted with just one glance.

Shen Luo quickly opened his eyes; he had roughly understood the situation of this white spider web. This object is called Immortal-binding Spider Silk, which contains powerful illusionary energy and also has the ability to bind divine powers, making it extremely effective for capturing people.

"What a great treasure." A hint of joy flashed through his eyes as he swept his sleeve to collect the four magical treasures and began to cultivate their power with his mana.

In Shen Luo’s hand, a flash of white light suddenly produced a white jade plate, which was the Tianyan True Scripture given to him by Zhou Tie.

He was quite interested in the Yan Technique, and as he ran his Divine Sense through the jade plate, his expression soon showed shock and amazement.

The Yan Technique detailed in the Sky Machine Scroll was already astounding, but the content of this Tianyan True Scripture went above and beyond, with the variety of magical armors and uses of divine sense power surpassing even those of Tianji City.

However, it can still be seen that the two are in the same lineage, and the Yan Technique of Tianji City must be derived from the Tianyan Palace.

"Perhaps an elder from Tianji City came here before and took the Yan Technique from Tianyan Palace to the outside." Shen Luo thought to himself.

He then no longer dwelled on these thoughts and focused on studying the Tianyan True Scripture.

...

Three days later, in a certain great hall on the first layer of Tianyan Palace.

The space here was extremely unstable, with numerous spatial rifts appearing, and sporadic void storms erupting, leaving many parts of the great hall scarred and damaged.

However, this great hall seemed to be constructed of extremely sturdy materials and had not collapsed.

"This is the place. I will use the Spatial Restriction in Tianyan Palace to try to connect to the outside world and send you out," Zhou Tie said as he led Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu into the hall.

"Thank you for your troubles," Shen Luo expressed his gratitude.

"It’s just a minor matter," Zhou Tie said with a faint smile, muttering incantations.

In the hall, a flash of silver light revealed a towering silver stone stele at each of the four corners, upon which countless silver runes were etched, emitting dazzling silver light, with ripples appearing in the nearby space.

Zhou Tie sacrificed the Tower of Tianyan, and four beams of white light shot out from it, entering into the four stone steles.

The dazzling silver light soon filled the entire great hall, with numerous silver runes condensing in the void of the hall. A moment later, a silver array spanning over a dozen feet in size was formed.

"It’s ready now. Both Daoist friends, please step into the array," Zhou Tie instructed.

Nie Caizhu leaped into the array, landing within it.

"Are you going to continue staying in this Celestial Secret Realm?" Shen Luo asked Zhou Tie, without immediately moving.

"I haven’t completed my cultivation and plan to continue my diligent practice here. If someday I can inherit the teachings of the Honorable One, perhaps I will go out and have a look," Zhou Tie replied with a smile.

"Very well! Then I’ll be waiting outside for Daoist Zhou," Shen Luo said, bowing his hand in salute before stepping into the silver array.

Zhou Tie activated the silver array, and a column of silver light burst forth, enveloping the bodies of Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu in a silver rainbow. They shot into the spatial rift in the mid-air of the great hall at an incredible speed.
