Chapter 601: Thousand-Path Lamp

Unlike Ning Zhuo originally intended to examine the "fuel" for the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra, but unexpectedly, he found a key point in the paper giant statue.

Inside the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, Sun Sun Lingtong's eyes shone, and he rubbed his hands: "Little Zhuo, let's not make a sound, and when there is no one around, let's sneak over and take your mother's treasure."

Unlike Ning Zhuo rubbed his mechanical ring but shook his head: "There is no need to do this; not only are we going to take it directly, but we are going to take it in front of Wen Wen Ruanyu!"

Sun Sun Lingtong was stunned.

Unlike Ning Zhuo explained: "If there is really a treasure left by my mother here, then according to the White Paper City Lord's previous performance, and recognizing me as the savior of White Paper Xiancheng, she will definitely 'return the property to its original owner.' Inheriting my mother's legacy is a matter of course!"

"If there isn't, it's just a joyless joy, and we can show sincerity."

Sun Sun Lingtong shook his head: "No, no, no, Little Zhuo, you forgot a possibility."

"If it's a treasure left by your mother, very powerful and precious, aren't we afraid that the White Paper City Lord will seize the treasure?"

"Even if it's not a forceful seizure, there will always be various reasons to cover it up. You know the usual face of the righteous path!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "Boss, you make a lot of sense."

"But I still won't do that."

"Because this is an arrangement left by my mother; she was benevolent and generous, paid so much for White Paper Xiancheng, and left the treasure for the sake of this immortal city."

"I am her son, coming here, not only to follow in her footsteps, but also to inherit her legacy to some extent, the things she worried about but didn't finish!"

"Therefore, if this situation happens, as long as the White Paper City Lord uses the treasure to protect the immortal city and maintain the city people, I am willing to accept it."

Sun Sun Lingtong was persuaded and sighed sincerely: "Little Zhuo, you are becoming more and more like the righteous path."

He continued to explain: "You know, the righteous path I want to say is the righteous path in the literal sense."

"I know, Boss," Unlike Ning Zhuo laughed secretly, "I'm just learning my mother's way of dealing with the world."

Speaking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo's voice became lighter: "Following her style, completing the things she wanted to complete, I feel that my mother is by my side, teaching me."

Sun Sun Lingtong sighed and said nothing more.

Unlike Ning Zhuo called Wen Wen Ruanyu and told him directly about the secret he discovered.

Wen Wen Ruanyu was pleasantly surprised: "The City Lord is wise! Appointing you to investigate, I didn't expect that you would have such a surprising breakthrough as soon as you took action!"

"It seems that your attainments in arrays are very vigorous; this is not something an ordinary person can see."

Wen Wen Ruanyu continued to sigh: "It has to be Senior Sister Meng! Forward is forward use, backward is another use. This conception is ingenious; who would have thought to reverse this array?"

Wen Wen Ruanyu got the key point and also saw the clues.

Under his gaze, Unlike Ning Zhuo reversed a certain array, triggered the internal array space, and made it open a passage.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Wen Wen Ruanyu entered one after another, and found that the array space was supported by eight stone pillars, up and down.

In the very center of the array space was a huge well.

Yin energy rolled like a tide in the well, making a giant sound like a rushing river.

And directly above the well mouth, an eight-cornered palace lamp was suspended.

This lamp body was in the shape of an eight-edged column, four feet two inches high, one foot eight inches in diameter. Its top was dome-shaped, and its bottom was square and level, containing the principle of heaven being round and earth being square.

The palace lamp seemed to be made of brass and sandalwood, emitting a faint yellow light.

But it was this faint layer of light that firmly suppressed the surging yin energy tide, and even faintly penetrated into it.

While Unlike Ning Zhuo was still looking, Wen Wen Ruanyu blurted out: "This is the Thousand-Path Lamp of my Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect; I didn't expect Senior Sister Meng to hide it here secretly."

This answer was a bit beyond the expectations of the Sun and Ning duo.

"Thousand-Path Lamp?" Unlike Ning Zhuo asked.

Wen Wen Ruanyu nodded, pointing to this Nascent Soul-level magic treasure: "This lamp can significantly adjust the earth energy of a region, creating fertile fields, and can make the paths communicate."

"Senior Sister Meng used it here, it must be to suppress this yin tide."

"Sigh, back then, she lost this treasure, and in the Flying Cloud Conference, she could have soared, but as a result, she failed."

"It turns out that what she paid was much more than what we once saw!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the yin tide and gritted his teeth: "How can this vast yin tide be cured? What can be done to solve it once and for all?"

Wen Wen Ruanyu shook his head with a sigh: "This is too difficult!"

"The Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland is formed by the deep and long-term erosion of the yin tide, which can form the unique landform and resources of today."

"As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water; this yin tide is the lifeline for the development of our White Paper Xiancheng."

"For this, the City Lord also spared no sacrifice, suppressing the yin tide all year round, so that now she is severely eroded by yin energy, unable to help herself, and trapped in a predicament."

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned: "This palace lamp has been suppressing the yin tide, and White Paper Xiancheng can persist until now, which can be said to have made great contributions!"

"Although it is an object of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, it concerns the lives of countless people in White Paper Xiancheng, so we cannot be careless."

"In my opinion, Senior Wen might as well have not seen it, be confused for once, and fulfill Senior Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin's arrangement and painstaking efforts."

But Wen Wen Ruanyu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't do it."

"This palace lamp itself is not strange, but its origin is no small matter, and it is a mechanical component in the Hundred Flowers Flying Boat."

"The Hundred Flowers Flying Boat is the town-sect spiritual treasure of my Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, which has been lost for many years."

"The palace lamp is an important clue for this flying boat component! Back then, Senior Sister Meng took this task and relied on this lamp to explore the whereabouts of the flying boat everywhere."

"It concerns the town-sect spiritual treasure; I cannot hide it!"

"I will report this matter to the sect. Of course, I will also report it to the White Paper City Lord."

Sun Sun Lingtong slapped his forehead: "Oh my, oh my, if I had known, we wouldn't have dismantled this array in front of her."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was silent for a while, but agreed: "Okay. But I discovered this place, so I have a request."

"Since the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect has retrieved their Thousand-Path Lamp, as a super sect, they should show something."

"At least they should take out treasures of equal value to replace the Thousand-Path Lamp and continue to suppress this place. What do you think?"

Wen Wen Ruanyu heard this and couldn't help but look at Unlike Ning Zhuo with another look.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was puzzled: "Why does Senior Wen look at me like this?"

Wen Wen Ruanyu sighed: "I didn't expect you, Hemp-face, to have such capacity and character, thinking of White Paper Xiancheng in the first place. This is very rare at your age."

Wen Wen Ruanyu looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo with admiration.

He was a Confucian cultivator, paying attention to self-cultivation, family regulation, state governance, and world peace, pursuing the establishment of a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, the continuation of the lost learning for the past sages, and peace for all generations.

Therefore, Unlike Ning Zhuo's behavior was very much to his taste.

He smiled slightly: "Don't worry. Not only will I ask for the sect's magic treasure to continue to suppress this place, but I will also ask for credit for you!"

"For many years, no one in White Paper Xiancheng has discovered the secret here."

"Your contribution cannot be buried!"

"I will strive for the sect to give you a chance to join our Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect."

"Hemp-face, with your attainments, just being a male concubine in White Paper Xiancheng is too much of a waste."

"For you, White Paper Xiancheng and even this Black Swamp Wetland are too small. You should join a super sect; this will be the big stage of your life to shine!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned: "Join the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect?"

He was moved.

Because if he could join this sect, he could come into contact with more of his mother's past, search for more fuel, and supplement Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin's spirituality more.

Besides this, it was his personal development.

Unlike Ning Zhuo asked: "My main cultivation technique is not something I want to change; what about bringing my skills to join?"

Wen Wen Ruanyu pondered: "My Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect encompasses everything and embraces all rivers; there are too many people who bring their skills to join."

"Speaking of which, if you want to join the sect, the time is just right."

"The Flying Cloud Conference of this session is about to be held. If you can perform well in this grand event, you can quickly get rid of the status of a handyman disciple, and even cross the status of an outer disciple, and become an inner disciple in one step!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo heard Wen Wen Ruanyu mention the Flying Cloud Conference for the second time, and immediately asked for details.

Wen Wen Ruanyu explained: "My Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect selects talents without sticking to one pattern. The Flying Cloud Conference is a grand ceremony to promote talents. It covers a huge range, affecting the entire Flying Cloud Kingdom and even abroad."

"Many people in the sect are not satisfied with their current positions, and often prepare for many years for the Flying Cloud Conference."

"At that time, the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect will distribute all the tasks in the sect to people in the sect and loose cultivators outside the sect. By communicating with the gods of heaven and earth, it will immediately"

record the results of each cultivator's task completion, as well as their contributions, and make a precise judgment on their abilities."

"Back then, Senior Sister Meng took the task in the Flying Cloud Conference and obtained this palace lamp."

"Sigh, Senior Sister Meng was still too benevolent."

"She left this palace lamp here, but because she lost it, she was greatly deducted points and failed in the Flying Cloud Conference!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly had a flash of doubt in his heart.

He suppressed the doubt and cupped his hands to Wen Wen Ruanyu: "If I can get your recommendation, Senior, to join the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, it is naturally a great thing! Thank you, Senior, for your promotion."

Wen Wen Ruanyu: "I recommend talents to the sect, and I also have sect contributions. Of course, I want to form a good relationship with you, Hemp-face."

He did not hide it, and his frank appearance was pleasing.

Unlike Ning Zhuo dispersed the etiquette on his hands: "But before that, I want to refine this palace lamp first."

Wen Wen Ruanyu:?

He showed hesitation, about to speak, but saw Unlike Ning Zhuo's determined eyes.

Wen Wen Ruanyu immediately understood that the latter's determination was firm, and this item could not be discussed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was expressionless, his tone even a bit stiff: "Senior Wen, as long as you fulfill your promise, I will exchange one treasure for one treasure immediately."

At this moment, Wen Wen Ruanyu's mind was filled with the situation where Unlike Ning Zhuo fought one against three and captured three Jin Dan-level ghost cultivators alive.

He smiled slightly: "Alright."

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Please, Lord Wen, report the situation here to the City Lord personally. I will stay here and refine this palace lamp."

Wen Wen Ruanyu nodded: "This matter is important, it indeed needs me to report it personally to be secure."

"But you standing here alone is not safe."

"How about this, I will leave a clone to protect you!"

Clearly worried that Unlike Ning Zhuo would disappear after swallowing the treasure, but Wen Wen Ruanyu said it beautifully.

Although he was smiling, Unlike Ning Zhuo could feel his persistence on this point.

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "Alright."

Wen Wen Ruanyu saw him agree and immediately took out a scroll from his storage belt.

He infused magic power and unfolded the scroll.

The person inside was his self-portrait.

Wen Wen Ruanyu's clone walked out of the portrait, landed in this array space, and bowed slowly.

The clone's aura had reached the Jin Dan level!

Unlike Ning Zhuo sized it up curiously and praised: "I heard that Confucian cultivators usually practice the four arts, namely zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Seeing it with my own eyes today, Senior Wen's attainments in Confucian cultivation are really deep."

Wen Wen Ruanyu smiled and was humble for a few words.

He arranged the clone in a place to communicate, far away from the palace lamp to avoid suspicion. After making these arrangements, he didn't waste time and left.

Unlike Ning Zhuo floated into the air, slowly approached the palace lamp, and finally touched it with both hands, landing on the surface of the palace lamp.

He concentrated his mind, infused magic power, and started refining the treasure.

Sun Sun Lingtong hid in the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, guarding Unlike Ning Zhuo closely, guarding against Wen Wen Ruanyu's portrait clone.

"Little Zhuo, do you have any other discoveries?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo transmitted: "There is some speculation, wait until I refine this palace lamp, I should be able to confirm it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was not good at refining treasures, nor did he have any top-notch refining techniques.

However, when he refined it to 30%, his heart shook and he discovered

more of Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin's arrangements, and also confirmed his previous guess.

"Sure enough, my mother has other arrangements!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo had just heard Wen Wen Ruanyu's sigh, and felt strange in his heart.

He was thinking at the time: "My mother is so smart, why didn't she report to the sect and exchange for treasures directly? Why suffer this big loss and fail in the Flying Cloud Conference. Unless she had other hidden feelings, or plans!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo gradually refined the palace lamp and also discovered more of Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin's arrangements.

He discovered that the power of this palace lamp had already penetrated into the vast yin tide, forming paths one after another.

These paths were very obscure and not stimulated by the palace lamp, almost non-existent. The paths were very long, as if extending infinitely, and he didn't know how deep they went.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo refined the palace lamp to 60%, he got the answer to this question—these paths actually penetrated yin and yang, reaching the underworld directly!

Sun Sun Lingtong learned this information and was shocked: "Little Zhuo, your mother's hand is really not small, actually having arrangements in the underworld. Although she borrowed the special geographical advantage of the Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland, being able to make yin and yang communicate is really bold."

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned, and had a bigger doubt in his heart: "Mother spared no effort to fail in the Flying Cloud Conference, temporarily sacrificing her future in the sect, just to borrow the palace lamp and make

"Why did she do this?"

"There must be a reason she had to do it!"

When Unlike Ning Zhuo refined the palace lantern to eighty percent, his body and mind were shaken violently.

"This is?!"
