Chapter 408

"Where?"

Zhang Jian glanced at Taiyin Xianzi.

Taiyin Xianzi obviously had her own little scheme.

"In the Taiyin Divine Fire Spring!"

Zhang Jian's mind instantly conjured a landmark, this mark was in the map given by Taiyin Xianzi.

According to the information given by Taiyin Xianzi, that place was where the Xiyue Sword Sect washed their swords.

Most of the swords forged or not yet formed by the Xiyue Sword Sect would be buried in the Taiyin Divine Fire Spring, using the power of the Taiyin Divine Fire to cleanse the sword bodies and temper the sword spirits.

The Taiyin Divine Fire is profoundly mysterious, capable of nourishing spirits and purifying souls.

However, such a place is likely a key focus of illumination for other cultivators.

The Taiyin Divine Fire is also an extremely precious resource.

The fire seed can be integrated into the depths of the soul, becoming one's true natal fire; the divine swords and spirit swords in the fire spring can be collected and given to disciples.

"Are you sure that treasure is still in the Taiyin Divine Fire Spring?"

Taiyin Xianzi pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then slightly nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should still be there. That treasure is called the Taiyin Divine Fire Wheel, its main body is an immortal treasure, its spirit is extremely rich. If not for our Xiyue Sword Sect's 'Guardian Treasure True Words,' it would not easily come into being. Moreover, there is an ancient qilin divine beast guarding around the Taiyin Divine Fire Spring, so there should be no problem!"

"Ancient divine beast qilin? What attribute?"

Zhang Jian's heart slightly trembled with astonishment.

Phoenix, qilin, true dragon—these are famous divine beasts of heaven and earth; once they reach adulthood, they at least possess the power of true immortals.

These divine beasts can be called kings among divine beasts, naturally endowed with exceptional advantages.

"Earth attribute!"

Taiyin Xianzi said in a condensed voice.

"Hope it can escape this calamity!"

Zhang Jian silently nodded.

Earth-attribute qilin is far rarer than true dragons and phoenixes; he thus developed some interest.

A single-minded person moving swiftly underground, even if only in fleshly form, has equally extreme speed.

Zhang Jian took the lead, riding ahead to show the way, passing through a vein of earth, and the group arrived before a strange mountain range.

Here, the mountaintop was bald and bare, covered with countless rust-stained iron swords.

Several majestic mountain peaks surrounded a huge valley.

This is where the Taiyin Divine Fire Spring is located.

The four figures emerged from the ground as escaping light.

"Is this the place where the Xiyue Sword Sect hid their swords back then? Looking at the feng shui layout, it is not inferior to our Tongshan Dao Tong lineage's sword-hiding secret place!"

Zijing Zhenjun gazed around, his eyes showing some astonishment.

After a slight pause, he sighed.

"It's a pity these spirit swords seem to have been discarded, their spirits completely gone!"

His gaze swept over the mountaintop, and with a wave of his hand, an ancient-style bronze treasure sword appeared deep in his palm; his eyes glanced over specks of purple light.

"Good material, the forging technique is also top-notch; if it falls into the hands of a good swordsman, it will surely become famous for a time!"

Zhuxing Zhenjun, seeing this, laughed: "This place has already been stirred into chaos, seven or eight ways messed up; surely many people have searched it. Let us search again, see if we can pick up any spirit swords!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian's vast primordial spirit and divine sense swept through the void, his gaze falling on the central valley.

In the center of the valley, a bronze gate towering ten or more zhang high had been constructed; before the bronze gate stood a dry, giant well.

His figure transformed into flowing light and appeared before this dry well.

He noticed that atop the huge bronze gate hung another divine chain, the chain engraved with countless dense ancient runes.

These ancient runes are neither ancient gold script nor ancient yin script, nor Nine Regions yin script.

"Dragon-Phoenix Treasure Seal?"

Just a glance, and his pupils instantly moved.

The history of these runes before him closely resembles the rumored Dragon-Phoenix Treasure Seal.

The history of the Dragon-Phoenix Treasure Seal predates even ancient yin script; it is an ancient writing created by gods and demons comprehending primordial runes between heaven and earth.

It is said to have prevailed in the mythical age before ancient times.

Each character of the Dragon-Phoenix Treasure Seal contains special Dao power; simply writing it can transform into immortal arts, possessing the power to sever rivers and shift stars and constellations.

This divine chain appears to be used for binding living beings.

"It seems that earth qilin has already encountered misfortune!"

Zhang Jian glanced around.

He was not surprised, after all, many strong ones of the Xiyue Sword Sect have disappeared, let alone an earth qilin.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's vast primordial spirit and divine sense enveloped the lower giant Taiyin Divine Fire Spring; his vast primordial spirit and divine sense could not feel any qi of the Taiyin Divine Fire.

Nor any treasure light or omen.

Only a heap of broken copper and rotten iron.

It appears the lower Taiyin Divine Fire Spring has already dried up.

"Try it!"

Zhang Jian's gaze turned toward Taiyin Xianzi.

Taiyin Xianzi nodded, she stepped forward, slightly sensing downward; her eyes showed some hesitation, yet she still advanced, her body's spiritual power circulating as she chanted the "Guardian Treasure True Words."

Yet an invisible force erupted from her surroundings, instantly merging into the depths of the Taiyin Divine Fire Spring.

This layer upon layer of invisible force surged downward like rippling waves.

Zhuxing Zhenjun and Zijing Zhenjun sensed this scene, their gazes alternately fixed upon it.

Only this layer of invisible true words surged in, and deep within the Yin-Yang Divine Fire Spring there was no movement at all.

But after a moment, an icy-blue light slowly emerged from within, countless icy-blue flames like creeping vines grew out and suddenly coiled around the true form of the Yin-Yang Immortal.

"Treasure recognizes its master!"

Seeing this, the Counting Stars True Lord and the Purple Orchid True Lord changed expression.

Clearly, another great treasure was hidden beneath the Yin-Yang Divine Fire Spring.

"Immortal treasure!"

Zhang Jian also sensed a vast immortal Dao law aura—this immortal treasure was not an ordinary True Immortal-level artifact.

The immortal Dao law power it emitted was extraordinarily domineering.

The countless Yin-Yang Divine Fires poured into the Yin-Yang Immortal's body, and he could clearly feel her primordial spirit power rapidly expanding, instantly breaking through the Golden Body bottleneck, as an invisible creation spirit light blossomed in her primordial spirit, and in a short time she achieved a Creation Primordial Spirit.

Her aura continued to swell, in a short time breaking through the Creation level, reaching the Unity Dao realm, and even approaching the edge of the True Immortal level.

Of course, this was not the Yin-Yang Immortal's own primordial spirit power breaking through.

Her primordial spirit power only stopped at the Creation level, but the immortal Dao law support within this immortal treasure caused her aura to swell to this extent.

Countless Yin-Yang Divine Fires flowed from her body, and after a moment she raised one hand, only to see the icy-blue divine fire condense in her palm into form, instantly becoming a beautiful, radiant ice wheel.

The ice wheel was covered in ice-crystal flames; the Yin-Yang Immortal's eyes flickered with a hint of joy, but in an instant she saw Zhang Jian standing nearby.

There was some ripple in her eyes, and after a moment she reclaimed her own primordial spirit imprint!

The true fire of the ice wheel in her hand extinguished, and she raised both hands.

"Emperor, this object is the Yin-Yang Divine Fire Wheel, this object is also one of the Six Treasures of my Evening Moon Sword Sect, and it is a second-rank immortal treasure!"

Zhang Jian raised his hand, and the Yin-Yang Divine Fire Wheel fell into his palm; sensing the vast, surging immortal Dao law within like an ocean, his eyes also showed something unusual—such an immortal treasure falling into the hands of a high-level immortal, its power could be said to be heaven-destroying and earth-annihilating.

The power of a second-rank immortal treasure corresponds to the Heavenly Immortal level.

This is one way treasures were classified in ancient times.

First rank, second rank, third rank, and even above that fourth rank, fifth rank… each rank of immortal treasure has a power difference as vast as a heavenly chasm.

His Uniform King Golden Man is, to some extent, a first-rank puppet immortal treasure.

This counts as the highest-rank immortal treasure he has currently encountered.

Zhang Jian glanced at the Yin-Yang Immortal—this treasure he could use for now, so he did not bestow it.

He himself is also proficient in Yin-Yang Immortal Arts.

The "Yin-Yang Body Forging Method" combined with this second-rank immortal treasure, the erupted power is quite considerable.

Zhang Jian infused his hand with power, slightly refined it, then his eyes moved as he looked toward the surrounding peaks, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of streams of light tore through the air and instantly landed before everyone.

Sword light gave rise to cold.
