343: Heaven-defying treasure

[You looked at his Magic Treasure, which was wrapped in over a dozen wisps of Evil Qi, and immediately realized something.]

["What is your name? Where did you get the method for refining this Magic Treasure?"]

[As you asked, you raised your hand and clenched it in the air—]

[The Magic Treasure was immediately seized by an invisible Law Power, suspended motionless in your palm.]

[Seeing your methods, he immediately guessed seven or eight tenths of the truth, and quickly bowed: "Greetings, Pavilion Master of Fengyun Pavilion. This Junior is named Sun Yang."]

["Senior, this Junior used your name without permission, but I assure you, there was absolutely no malice," he quickly added.]

[Hearing the name "Sun Yang," you immediately understood.]

[So it was this boy. No wonder you felt a sense of familiarity.]

[Because you had seen him when he was a child and specifically noted his name.]

[Furthermore, Sun Yang also possesses the "Spotless Sword Body," and he is a descendant of the Changsun Immortal Clan.]

[After the Changsun Immortal Clan was annihilated, his ancestor, like yours, was exiled to this Tianhuang Secret Realm.]

[You returned the Magic Treasure to him and asked lightly, "You impersonated me because you wanted to lure me out to find you?"]

[Sun Yang said with a solemn expression, "Senior, you see clearly. This Junior truly has an urgent matter to report!"]

["Speak," you said calmly.]

[Sun Yang sighed in relief and quickly said, "This Junior is currently a Protector of the Blood Origin Sect..."]

["I was ordered by the Gu Siblings to provoke civil unrest on the Tianhuang Continent..."]

["After inciting the chaos, they plan to use the opportunity to escape the Tianhuang Secret Realm..."]

["But this Junior knows that this approach is extremely inhumane..."]

["Unfortunately, I had no choice but to follow orders..."]

["Until a dozen days ago, when I heard that you, Pavilion Master, had returned..."]

["Therefore, I impersonated you and deceived Wu Bin..."]

["This Wu Bin usually commits many evils. I thought that by doing this, I could not only draw you out but also eliminate Wu Bin in the process, and perhaps draw Fengyun Pavilion's attention to the Blood Origin Sect's plan."]

["Even if I ultimately failed to meet you in person, at least Fengyun Pavilion could intervene and disrupt the Blood Origin Sect's scheme."]

[Listening to his account, you generally understood the cause and effect.]

["You are already at the Late Golden Core Stage and possess the Spotless Sword Body. Even if you couldn't defeat the Gu Siblings, you shouldn't be completely controlled by them, right?" you asked curiously.]

["Senior, you don't know, but Gu Yuetang possesses a Supreme Treasure. That item is extremely powerful. I have no power to fight back against her," Sun Yang said seriously.]

[You frowned slightly, immediately becoming interested in this Supreme Treasure.]

[A treasure that can render a Cultivator of the same Realm completely powerless truly deserves to be called Heaven-Defying.]

[You looked at him again and asked, "Where did the method for refining your Magic Treasure come from?"]

[Sun Yang took a deep breath: "The refining method for my Lifebound Treasure was also told to me by Gu Yuetang."]

[You nodded, having a rough idea in your mind.]

[It seems the method of refining Evil Qi for Sun Yang's Lifebound Treasure must also originate from Gu Yuetang's mysterious Supreme Treasure.]

[Your guess was correct. The refining method for Sun Yang's Lifebound Treasure was indeed provided by the xuantian treasure mirror.]

[This method is certainly inhumane, but its power is immense.]

[Especially for someone like Sun Yang who possesses the "Spotless Sword Body," it's like adding wings to a tiger.]

[At the same time, this was a test of Sun Yang's loyalty and capability.]

[Sun Yang could only go around planting "Evil Seeds," and then quietly retrieve them when they matured.]

[The wisp of Evil Qi on Ji Yuan was a sign that an Evil Seed had matured.]

[Once the Evil Qi matured, Sun Yang would find an opportunity to retrieve it and integrate it into his Lifebound Treasure.]

[Furthermore, this Lifebound Treasure would continuously grow stronger as Sun Yang nurtured it and his Realm increased.]

[Ultimately, this Lifebound Treasure could even grow into a Spirit Treasure-level existence, and might even give birth to one of the Ten Supreme Laws—the Law of Destruction.]

[You looked at Sun Yang and asked again, "Then why... are you unwilling to escape the Secret Realm with the Gu Siblings?"]

[Sun Yang took a deep breath, his tone complex:]

["The Gu Siblings once told me... only then did I learn that my ancestor was banished to this Tianhuang Continent by the Liu Clan Immortal Family."]

["I also know that your Qin Family's ancestor... was the same."]

["They also informed me that the Tianhuang Continent... has now broken free from the control of the Liu Clan Immortal Family."]

[He paused, his voice gradually lowering:]

["Therefore, we share a common enemy—the Liu Clan Immortal Family."]

["But I don't understand... why the Gu Siblings are always unwilling to join forces with Fengyun Pavilion."]

["They would rather disrupt the Tianhuang Continent, incite civil unrest, and then flee... than have a proper discussion with you."]

["This truly... baffles me."]

[What Sun Yang said was actually what the Artifact Spirit "Xuantian" had told the Gu Siblings.]

[As for why the Gu Siblings were prevented from cooperating with Fengyun Pavilion... that was naturally the result of Xuantian's strenuous obstruction.]

[The Artifact Spirit "Xuantian" did this simply because it was cowardly and afraid of being captured and having its spiritual intelligence erased.]

[This is also why it has always only sought out weaker beings to inhabit.]

[At the time, Gu Yuetang was still a young girl, powerless, and thus became the target it chose to inhabit.]

[Because it must hide inside a living being's body to conceal its aura.]

[Sun Yang seemed to recall something else and spoke again:]

["Right, Senior, there's one more thing... this Junior finds a bit strange."]

[You looked at him.]

[He looked serious and lowered his voice:]

["The blood spirit pills in our Sect were originally refined by Medicine Bodhisattva. But the ones he refined... were just ordinary Medicinal Pills without Pill Veins."]

["But every time the Medicinal Pills were passed through the Sect Master's hands before being distributed... they turned into Nine-Vein Spirit Pills."]

[Your heart trembled.]

[You knew all too well what a Nine-Vein Medicinal Pill signified.]

["Do you... have one of those Nine-Vein blood spirit pills on you right now?" you immediately asked.]

["Yes."]

[He nodded quickly, flipped his palm, and a blood spirit pill whose body shone with nine profound lines and emanated a rich Dao Charm slowly floated before you.]

[You stared at the majestic Dao Charm flowing between the Pill Veins, the shock in your heart indescribable.]

[No wonder the Blood Origin Sect was able to develop to this stage in just twenty years.]

[Although you are a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, you have been cultivating for less than fifty years and haven't witnessed many grand spectacles.]

[But you understood clearly in your heart—the words "Nine Veins" represent the ultimate Perfection in the Dao of Alchemy, a fortune that is nearly Heaven-Defying.]

[If such Alchemy methods existed, how could even a Body of Waste Material fail to rise?]

[Not only that,]

[If Fengyun Pavilion could gain such assistance, its development speed would surely advance by leaps and bounds, and surpassing the Liu Clan Immortal Family in the future... would definitely not be a pipe dream.]

[After all, even if your Fengyun Pavilion is developing, the Liu Clan Immortal Family is developing too.]

[To surpass the Liu Clan, such Heaven-Defying methods are indispensable.]

[Holding this Medicinal Pill, your thoughts had already drifted far away.]

[You had a faint suspicion—this matter was probably inseparable from the Secret Treasure in Gu Yuetang's possession.]

[But why would such a Heaven-Defying treasure be hidden inside the Tianhuang Secret Realm?]
