Chapter 1040: Chapter 1036: Reappearance

At this moment, his tense heart finally relaxed a little.

The feeling of danger, like a fishbone stuck in his throat or a sword hanging over his head, had completely vanished.

The unique power formed by combining Spiritual Abyss and the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree could withstand the power of the ancient relic.

This time, I can only say luck was on my side. Am I really blessed by fortune?

The power of Spiritual Abyss and the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree are both mighty forces of heaven and earth, and only their combination can withstand the power within the ancient relic.

One can only say that the Supreme Heavenly Demon truly lives up to its name.

Feeling restless, he looked down at the ancient relic.

Without that aura, the relic seemed to have lost its spirituality.

It was closely attached to his left palm, still exuding warmth and robustness, full of vitality.

He tried to channel energy into it.

But it was like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing silently into his palm.

He injected a strand of Spiritual Abyss Energy into it, and his palm flashed with Golden Light.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered thoughtfully.

This relic reacts to the aura of Spiritual Abyss, while his True Yuan has no effect. Is it because of the purity issue of True Yuan?

He did not continue to inject Spiritual Abyss Energy, fearing it might enhance the relic.

That strand of energy, after being enveloped by the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree and Spiritual Abyss Energy, has been stored in the Lao Gong Acupoint in his right palm.

He discovered an anomaly.

The circulation of Spiritual Abyss Energy unexpectedly accelerated, far faster than his usual cultivation speed.

He maintained the Second Form, and Spiritual Abyss Energy surged in, continuously refining the Lao Gong Acupoint.

The denser the Spiritual Energy, the thicker the cocoon, and the faster the refinement of the acupoints.

With the refinement, he felt his palms gradually merging with the Void.

The palms seemed to grow larger and larger, the area they covered expanding. One palm, two palms, three palms, four palms... ten palms, twenty palms...

As a breeze swept past, he felt he could capture it; the breeze was no longer fleeting but appeared as a tangible entity to him.

He gradually understood that refining the Lao Gong Acupoint in both palms bestowed the power to transform Void into Reality.

Chu Liezhao retracted the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, slicing open a Light Gate to return to Great Bright Peak.

Leng Tieya also created a Light Gate, returning to his own small courtyard.

Within the Demon Suppression Divine Palace, only Chu Zhiyuan continued cultivating the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record’s Second Form, progressing rapidly.

He calculated that, at this pace, he might master the Second Form within a month.

——

Early the next morning

Leng Tieya was practicing sword training in the courtyard when a knock came from outside.

”Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun.”

Leng Tieya stepped forward to open the courtyard gate, seeing Miao Qingjie and Hu Yuni standing outside.

He smiled and gestured for them to enter.

Miao Qingjie glanced inside the courtyard and laughed, ”Did we come too early?”

”I am practicing sword training.”

Leng Tieya smiled as he led them into the small courtyard, settling by the dew-covered stone table.

He poured two cups of tea and handed them over, smiling, ”Young Master Miao, Miss Hu, are you leisurely and want to continue pursuing that relic?”

”Can it be pursued?” Miao Qingjie asked.

Leng Tieya chuckled, ”It seems like Young Master Miao isn’t giving up.”

Miao Qingjie sighed, ”How could I just give up like that?”

Leng Tieya said, ”Shall we give it another try?”

”We’ll try,” Miao Qingjie said, ”If it doesn’t work this time, then we’ll let it be.”

Leng Tieya nodded slowly.

Hu Yuni, after accepting the teacup, kept it on the stone table without moving.

At this point, she asked, ”Mr. Sun, do you have any bearings now?”

Leng Tieya shook his head.

Miao Qingjie took out a small Black Box from his sleeve, placed it on the stone table, and opened it.

Inside were broken sword fragments.

Leng Tieya pinched a fragment and pressed it against his forehead, closing his eyes.

Hu Yuni’s bright eyes fixated on him, not missing a single expression.

After a moment, Leng Tieya let out a slow breath, opened his eyes, and shook his head.

”No bearing?” Miao Qingjie hurriedly asked.

Leng Tieya shook his head with a bitter smile, ”Truly cannot sense it... Is the distance too great?”

”Shall we go back to the previous place to take a look?” Miao Qingjie suggested.

Leng Tieya nodded, putting the broken sword fragments back into the small box.

Then, he drank the tea in one gulp, went inside to change his outfit.

...

The three of them stood before the previous pine tree, surveying their surroundings.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes, pressed on the pine tree, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly, ”Surely can’t sense it anymore.”

Miao Qingjie showed a disappointed expression, ”It seems indeed we can’t find it anymore.”

Leng Tieya sighed, ”Is my luck not enough?”

Miao Qingjie said, ”It’s my luck that’s truly not enough—unable to obtain the relic.”

Leng Tieya said, ”Just a little short; if Miss Hu were here, perhaps we could have caught it.”

Miao Qingjie slowly nodded.

Hu Yuni commented, ”Relics shouldn’t be forced, Brother Miao; if we can’t find it, then we can’t find it.”

Miao Qingjie sighed and nodded.

Hu Yuni asked, ”Mr. Sun, are you able to sense the aura within the broken sword fragments?”

Leng Tieya nodded, ”Miss Hu, you can sense it too, right?”

Hu Yuni said, ”I actually can’t sense it, not like Mr. Sun.”

Leng Tieya shook his head, ”Miss Hu is too modest; your cultivation is naturally far superior to mine.”

Hu Yuni asked, ”What does it feel like?”

”An ethereal strand of aura, fleeting and subtle.” Leng Tieya said, ”Beyond this, it’s indescribable.”

Hu Yuni seemed thoughtful.

She extended her jade-like hand.

Miao Qingjie quickly retrieved the small box, opened it, and presented it in front of Hu Yuni.

Hu Yuni picked up a fragment, closed her bright eyes, concentrating to sense it.

After a moment, she gently shook her head, opened her bright eyes, and sighed, ”Truly unable to sense it.”

She had always felt dissatisfied, believing her senses to be extremely sharp, unmatched.

Not being able to sense the broken sword fragments, while Leng Tieya had some perception.

Miao Qingjie hurriedly said, ”Junior Sister Hu, this might be related to the Cultivation Technique; perhaps Mr. Sun’s mental method is similar to that of the Dragon Subduing Sect.”

”Hmm, that might be possible.” Hu Yuni nodded gently.

Leng Tieya scanned his surroundings, his expression suddenly changing.

”What’s wrong, Mr. Sun?” Miao Qingjie asked quickly.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes.

His complexion paled visibly, as if undergoing a massive consumption.

He himself was surprised; he hadn’t expected such a situation.

Miao Qingjie immediately showed excitement.

Hu Yuni transmitted, ”Could there be a discovery again?”

Miao Qingjie eagerly nodded, transmitting, ”Last time it was like this, it led to a discovery.”

Their voices carried excitement.

Hu Yuni lightly furrowed her brow, deep in thought, ”There are indeed some methods.”

She could sense the invisible force spreading around Leng Tieya, weak yet tenacious.

It was like a giant net, with tightly-knit meshes expanding outward.

Leng Tieya’s face rapidly grew weary between his brows, and he sighed, slowly opening his eyes, ”Found it.”

Miao Qingjie quickly asked, ”How is it?”

Leng Tieya said, ”Sensed it again, don’t know if it’s the same, ... let’s check it out.”

Miao Qingjie hurriedly said, ”This time we must be cautious.”

Leng Tieya nodded.

Miao Qingjie turned to Hu Yuni, ”Junior Sister, should we have all our disciples come?”

Hu Yuni asked, ”Is it troublesome?”

”It’s really fast.” Miao Qingjie said seriously, ”My Qinggong isn’t up to par, Mr. Sun is about the same, Junior Sister Hu, you should have no problem.”

Hu Yuni pondered, ”Can’t the other senior brothers help?”

”Probably very difficult.” Miao Qingjie shook his head.

Leng Tieya suggested, ”Why not have more experts from your sect surround it, how about that?”

Miao Qingjie thought for a moment and looked at Hu Yuni.

Hu Yuni said, ”We can try.”

”Then let’s wait another day.” Miao Qingjie said solemnly.

Hu Yuni looked at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya smiled, ”We can wait a day; it’s just unclear if it’ll relocate.”

Miao Qingjie frowned, speaking slowly, ”It’s a living thing, able to fly by itself... How can we not disturb it?”

Leng Tieya said, ”Then we must keep our distance, it should be within a mile.”
