Chapter 769: Artifact Guidance

"Huh, this artifact not only defends, it can also attack!"

Yu Er refined the spherical artifact, and immediately understood its function.

"Let's go try it out; we can also help Wu Qingcheng and the others!"

Ye Liuyun waited until she refined the artifact, then withdrew the Yin Yang Realm.

During that time, Qiong Qi had already burned the Foreign Tribe's fourfold‑created strongman to ash.

The Foreign Tribe surrounding Wu Qingcheng and Su Miaoyin were driven far away by the two of them. The remaining Foreign Tribe were being hunted by the Skeleton Puppet.

When Ye Liuyun and Yu Er went out, the remaining Foreign Tribe could no longer stop them.

Especially Yu Er's artifact, its killing power was stronger.

The little ball, once thrown, could emit several beams of light simultaneously. Each beam shot toward a Foreign Tribe member, melting a huge hole in their body and killing them instantly.

After a few attempts, Yu Er stored the artifact away.

"Why stop using it?" Ye Liuyun communicated with Yu Er using Divine Sense.

Yu Er's realm was only the dual Yin‑Yang, and many Foreign Tribe members were not her match.

"This artifact keeps pointing to a direction, trying to lead me there, affecting my combat!" Yu Er explained.

"Oh? Could it be that an inheritance is meant for you?"

Only then did Ye Liuyun recall that Hanwu's artifact might have been taken from this Secret Realm.

Now the artifact feels back in a familiar environment, likely ready to pass the original owner's inheritance to her.

"I don't know either; it just keeps guiding a direction, with no other information."

Yu Er also couldn't figure out what the artifact meant.

"Don't worry, later I'll take you there; first let's finish up here."

After speaking, Ye Liuyun led Wu Qingcheng and others, together with Qiong Qi, to start loading Spiritual Stone Vein into the Storage Ring.

The scattered remaining Foreign Tribe and the task of extracting Foreign Tribe spirit cores were both handed to the Skeleton Puppet to handle.

A whole vein, containing tens of billions of top‑grade Spirit Stones, was quite a thrill for them to mine.

Qiong Qi only took one third, caring for the larger number of people like Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun now doesn't even know how many Spirit Stones he actually has!

Inside the Storage Ring's Dragon Palace, several small hills had already piled up; he could no longer count them.

When he was poor, he often calculated how many Crystal Stones and Spirit Stones he held. Now he doesn't even count.

When wealth reaches a certain level, one becomes less sensitive!

A few people cheerfully emerged from the mineral vein, leaving behind an empty Cave.

The Skeleton Puppet stood by the entrance, handing Ye Liuyun a pile of spirit cores and a Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense scanned the area, found no important treasures, and was about to give them to Wu Qingcheng to deal with.

"Huh, what's this?"

He pulled out a pitch‑black stone, brimming with energy and rich in Demon Qi. He felt he could absorb this energy.

"Magic Power Stone. Used by Demon Cultivators for cultivation," Qiong Qi glanced and told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately tried it, discovering he could absorb not only its energy but also the Demon Qi.

"This is great! I can absorb it all. The Demon Qi can even strengthen my Buddha Demon Power!"

Ye Liuyun was surprised to have unintentionally found something valuable.

These Magic Power Stones work even better for him than Spirit Stones. Moreover, the Storage Space of those Alien Evil Artifacts contains many such Magic Power Stones.

"That's perfect, just what you were missing!"

Qiong Qi examined the Magic Power Stone carefully, found its Demon Qi exceptionally pure, and let Ye Liuyun absorb it with confidence.

Ye Liuyun asked Wu Qingcheng and Su Miaoyin to help retrieve all the Magic Power Stones from the Storage Ring.

Yu Er led the way, guiding Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi toward the direction indicated by the artifact.

Although Qiong Qi was displeased that Ye Liuyun abandoned the resource‑seizing objective for a woman, he said little, knowing that's his nature.

The direction the artifact pointed for Yu Er wasn't far from this stronghold, but before them stood a massive mountain.

"..."

Yu Er and Ye Liuyun were speechless. If they had to search the mountain bit by bit, their ten days would be nearly gone.

Qiong Qi chuckled, "These little tricks can't stump me, watch this!"

He fiddled with the stones in front of the mountain, then led Ye Liuyun and Yu Er up the mountain.

After walking a stretch, he stopped to shift a nearby stone.

Moreover, he didn't walk straight; he turned left and right.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil but saw no Formation here.

"Is there a Formation here?"

Ye Liuyun finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"It's a Natural Array!" Qiong Qi explained to him and Yu Er.

"Such an Array relies on natural terrain, borrowing stones, trees, and other natural objects. Anyone who can deploy it shows a mastery of formations at the master level."

"But that's still only the lowest among masters, far below me!"

Ye Liuyun wasn't clear on Qiong Qi's formation skill, but anyone who can draw arrays remotely should be an Array Master.

They hadn't gone far before they actually saw the entrance to a Cave.

Ye Liuyun had previously observed this spot with his Golden Pupil and saw nothing unusual.

"Impressive!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help praising.

"A piece of cake!" Qiong Qi replied, delighted.

Ye Liuyun again looked toward Yu Er to confirm the artifact's response.

"This is the right place; it's guiding me to go in!"

Yu Er held the sphere in her hand, sensing its guidance.

"Alright, then let's go in and see whether inside is fortune or misfortune!"

Ye Liuyun said, pulling Yu Er, as they walked into the cave. Qiong Qi followed behind, carefully vigilant, in case anything unexpected happened.

Inside the cave, winding and twisting, originally pitch black. But that artifact sphere, upon entering the cave, burst forth with a beam of light, illuminating the path beneath their feet.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also discovered that the cave was filled with various attacking formations. Anywhere this light shone, the formations would not activate.

Moreover, at every fork, the artifact would also use light to point the way, guiding their direction.

Ye Liuyun and the others also secretly pondered: "This artifact doesn't seem to be meant to harm them! But why did we come here—to receive an inheritance or to inherit a treasure?"
