After using his divine sense to explore the collapsed cave, Chen Lin's expression changed and he used the water-avoiding technique to come to a corner of the ruins.
With a flick of his sleeves, all the building debris above was swept away, revealing a woman with a faint trace of life underneath.
It’s Dong Yunqiu!
Chen Lin didn't expect that the other party actually survived the aftermath of the golden knife.
To be honest, he himself was shocked by the power of this sword. When he tested it in the wilderness before, he didn't have a very intuitive feeling of the power. This time, when he bombarded the formation, he saw what an offensive Nengling-level spiritual treasure was.
It can be said that he can cut through the sky and break the earth, and is invincible!
This power is simply incomparable to that of the spiritual treasures of the Spiritual Transformation Level. They are completely on a different level. No matter how many spiritual treasures there are, they are useless and cannot be blocked at all.
Even a Void Refining cultivator cannot stop it. As long as the treasure is successfully activated, life or death is basically determined, unless there is a treasure of the same level to resist.
He had only used about half of its power just now. If he had used its full power, the scene would have been even more terrifying. Of course, it would be a bit of a stretch for a Void Refinement cultivator to use a treasure of this level. The more power that was unleashed, the longer it would take. The enemy couldn't just stand there and wait to be beaten.
Chen Lin checked Dong Yunqiu's condition and saw that he could still be rescued, so he released Xiao Cao and put him into the space bag.
After a quick inspection and seeing that there was nothing valuable in the ruins, the master and two servants left quickly.
Yucai Sect.
Inside the secret room.
Chen Lin released Dong Yunqiu, stuffed a healing pill into his mouth, and then left him alone, allowing him to recover on his own.
He and Hua Ruyu examined the relics of the Spirit Demon Ancestor.
Xiaocao was not interested in these things and went to the side alone to study her grass swordsmanship.
There are four objects on the table.
A small black skull, a snow-white spear, a strange black and white scimitar, and a storage bracelet.
The skull was already broken, and it looked like it should be a top-level spiritual treasure, but under the power of the golden sword, the spirit of the weapon was destroyed and all its spirituality was lost.
Unless it is revived, this thing will be useless.
The snow-white spear was not a big deal. After all, the Spirit Demon Ancestor did not use it to directly counter the attack of the golden sword.
This gun is also a top-level spiritual treasure, and it is a rare treasure.
As for the odd-shaped scimitar.
Chen Lin could feel that this item was of a higher level, even if it had not reached the Nascent Soul level it was almost there. Unfortunately it was his natal spiritual treasure, so its power would be greatly reduced if he refined it again.
This is a treasure that requires both spiritual power and magic power to activate at the same time. No normal cultivator can use it. It all depends on whether Hua Ruyu can refine it.
The first three items were just appetizers and were quickly eaten by the two.
The most important thing is the storage bracelet!
The Lingmo Patriarch is a casual cultivator and has not built up any power. Such people usually carry all their possessions with them, so there must be a lot of treasures inside.
Chen Lin and Hua Ruyu looked at each other, both with some anticipation, and picked up the storage bracelets.
Although the Spirit Demon Ancestor was dead, for the sake of safety, Chen Lin still checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he mobilized his innate power and easily removed the mark.
But he did not directly probe in to observe. Instead, he took out a Jindan-level crow puppet and asked it to explore the situation inside the bracelet first, while he understood it through shared perception.
The Spirit Demon Ancestor has lived for thousands of years. He is vicious and cunning. It is hard to say whether he would not leave any hidden tricks on the storage bracelet.
"Bang!"
As soon as the energy of the crow puppet penetrated into the storage bracelet, it exploded with a bang and scattered all over the ground.
On the spiritual seal at the core of the puppet, a twisted thing was still flickering. It seemed that this thing had just exploded, causing the puppet to collapse.
Chen Lin's face turned ugly, and a chill ran down his forehead.
That was a close call!
The sense of annihilation on the twisted object was obviously the application of rules, and it could penetrate the energy into the body. Even if he was caught off guard, he would be hit.
If something with the power of rules exploded inside his body, he would not be able to bear it even if he was a Void Refining cultivator.
Fortunately, the cautious habits he developed over the years helped him escape the disaster.
Hua Ruyu did not expect that there was such a deadly move in the storage bracelet. Her face changed as well. She flashed in front of Chen Lin, and she and Xiaocao stood on the left and right, protecting Chen Lin in the middle.
Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "This thing has exploded. There will be no danger anymore."
Having said that, he still took out another crow puppet to conduct an experiment.
There were no abnormalities this time.
After repeated experiments, Chen Lin finally left his mark on the storage bracelet and then examined it carefully.
big!
This storage bracelet has a larger space than the one he gave to Chen Ling'er.
Furthermore, there are a lot of things inside, almost filling up all the space, with all kinds of things, and it is very messy.
After just one glance, Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This old demon spirit is indeed a powerful Taoist who has lived for thousands of years. He has a lot of good things. Moreover, he is not a good person either. He has committed many murders and robberies. This can be seen from the various categories of items.
Some of the piles of items even contained items used by different races!
"Walk!"
Chen Lin brought Hua Ruyu and Xiaocao to a spacious secret room, then took out all the items in the storage bracelet and called Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi over to count them together.
Even so, it took nearly a day to sort all the items by category and value.
The Spirit Demon Ancestor had no background in this world, and his only disciple Dong Yunqiu had signed a soul contract with him, so there would be no worries in using these items. Chen Lin put all the unused items back into the storage bracelet and handed it over to Qin Lingyu for safekeeping.
He collected the remaining high-level resources.
Only three items were left.
Three bamboo slips, a triangular bone piece, and a statue.
Bamboo slips are special carriers used by ancient cultivators to record their secret techniques. What is recorded on them is the technique for practicing spirit and demon together obtained from Dong Yunqiu. The name is also appropriate, called "Spirit and Demon Secrets", but it is a complete set, with three volumes: upper, middle and lower.
Chen Lin briefly flipped through the bamboo slips and pushed them in front of Hua Ruyu. This method was completely useless for normal cultivators. It depended on whether the other party could use it.
With this technique, they have accomplished half of their goal of killing the Spirit Demon Ancestor.
Then he picked up the triangular piece of bone.
This bone fragment has the same shape as the abnormal one, but there is no Taixu text on it.
Chen Lin examined the bone fragment for a while, and then took out his own bone fragment.
When they were put together and compared, the two bone pieces fit perfectly!
There was no need to look further, the two must have been together, and they even had a sense of resonance and vibration.
But there are only two bone fragments, and the original body cannot be restored, and there is still a large gap.
Judging from the visual, at least three bone pieces of the same size are needed to synthesize the original shape.
Chen Lin looked thoughtful.
This item is treasured by the Spirit Demon Ancestor and kept in a special jade box. It must be of great use, but the Spirit Demon Ancestor has already died and there is no chance to inquire about its use. We can only wait for Dong Yunqiu to wake up and ask him whether he knows it.
Now is not the time to think about these things. Chen Lin put away the bone fragments and looked at the last item.
A lifelike statue that is as tall as a person!
Not only him, but everyone in the secret room gathered around the statue, looking at the statue, then at Hua Ruyu, with surprise on their faces.
This statue looked like a replica of Hua Ruyu's figure, with absolutely no difference!
"Madam, you two should go and do your work first!"
Seeing Hua Ruyu staring at the withered statue in a daze, Chen Lin asked Qin Lingyu and Sun Caiyi to leave first.
The cultivation base of the two is relatively low, so if any changes occur in the environment, they will be easily affected.
After the two left, Chen Lin said to Hua Ruyu: "But what did you remember?"
Hua Ruyu shook her head.
"My Lord, I don't remember it, but I feel a sense of familiarity from this statue."
Chen Lin looked at the statue, then looked at the other person.
He did not feel any energy fluctuations from the statue. Apart from the fact that it was carved very delicately, it was no different from an ordinary statue.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to smash the statue? If you do, then go to the demon world and you will be able to deal with any unexpected events."
Chen Lin gave a reminder.
He now suspected that the cat-headed monster had not told him the truth. Hua Ruyu's previous life might not be just a powerful person at the Hedao level. Once this withered statue showed any strange signs, not to mention whether it would harm the people of the Yucai Sect, it might also attract the Resurrected. Therefore, it would be safer to enter the Demon Realm to operate.
"good!"
Hua Ruyu knew Chen Lin’s concerns and agreed. The three of them brought the statue and came to the node of the Demon Realm through the teleportation array.
Still use the puppet to explore first, and then enter.
After taking a quick glance at Li Fuyao's painting and seeing that it was still the same, he headed straight for Taiqing Mountain.
In the open space in front of the waterfall, Hua Ruyu and the withered statue stood facing each other.
Chen Lin and Xiao Cao watched from the side.
After looking at the statue for a while, Chen Lin was amazed. No one would believe that this statue was not carved based on Hua Ruyu herself. Be it the height, body shape, and even the skin color, they are exactly the same.
Even the hair is lifelike.
Could this be a petrified clone
Chen Lin couldn't help but have such an incredible thought.
Before he could think more, he saw Hua Ruyu spread her wings and flew into the air with a milky white halo. A three-color flower pattern appeared between her eyebrows and slowly turned. The two curved horns on her head also emitted a black light.
At this moment, the opponent was standing in the air, with five kinds of light surrounding his body: black, white, red, green and blue, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.
"Gather!"
Suddenly, Hua Ruyu's lips moved slightly and she uttered the word "ju".
Then the five colors of energy surrounding her merged together, eventually forming a strange mark, which flashed and disappeared into the statue!
