Chapter 367
This time, Yan Ruyu came specifically for the Green Emperor's weapon and the Green Emperor's heart.
As for other treasures in the Green Emperor's mausoleum, if absolutely necessary, she could abandon them, because as a descendant of the Green Emperor, although their lineage had declined, they still had some foundation, and she didn't look down upon ordinary treasures.
Of course, Yin Qi did not intend to swallow everything else.
In reality, his main targets were the gold pages recording the Sea of Bitterness volume of the "Dao Scripture" and the fragments of the Immortal Tripod.
If there were divine source, that would be even better.
Yan Ruyu looked at Yin Qi deeply, her voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation: "How can I trust you?"
She had no great demons she could trust, and naturally, she couldn't trust Yin Qi, whom she had met for the first time.
Yin Qi said, "If you cannot trust me, then your plans this time will likely fall through. Do you think you have the certainty to compete for the Green Emperor's weapon and the Green Emperor's heart from my hands?"
Yan Ruyu said, "The ancestor's mausoleum is right here; I don't believe you will stay here forever."
Yin Qi said indifferently, "I can publicize this matter; I believe those sacred lands and Desolate Ancient families would certainly be very interested in the Green Emperor's mausoleum."
Her beauty was flawless, comparable to the Heavenly Sound Fairy.
"Alright, it's a deal!"
Soon, Yin Qi severed his distracting thoughts, and the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" appeared in his mind.
Re-cultivating the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," he quickly sensed the rich spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then, using the power of his primordial spirit, he drew in the countless spiritual energy from the surroundings to gather toward him.
Yin Qi nodded; this result had already exceeded his expectations.
If it were like the original work, where various factions came to compete, in the chaos, he actually wouldn't be able to grab many things.
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I can agree to your terms. But you can only choose three treasures. As for other items, we can also share some with you at the end; I'll take eight, you take two."
Even the gold pages recording the Sea of Bitterness volume of the "Dao Scripture" might not necessarily be obtained, because various treasures would erupt from the mausoleum and fly everywhere; how could he possibly attend to everything?
Anger flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes, and the others were equally resentful.
Qin Yao said at this time, "Your Highness, I actually think we can cooperate with him. If he were untrustworthy, he should have hidden himself earlier and acted as the oriole behind. Since he is so open and honest, I believe he is a person of integrity, right little brother?"
In just one night, he had cultivated to the mid-stage of the first layer of Qi Refining; he would probably be able to reach the second layer in three or four days.
Yin Qi woke up from his practice, two rays of sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Yin Qi stood by the window, looking at Yan Ruyu's profile from afar, and couldn't help but feel amazed.
The bright moon shone high, and the breeze blew gently.
Originally, he wanted to go over and chat with Yan Ruyu, but seeing the two old women guarding not far from her, he could only extinguish that thought, turn around, and sit cross-legged in the center of the hall.
"You..."
Under the moonlight, Yan Ruyu stood on the dilapidated courtyard wall, standing against the wind, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, clear and refined, as if she were about to ride the wind and return, ethereal and immortal.
Yin Qi glanced at Qin Yao and just nodded indifferently.
The golden crow rose in the east, and the morning sun shone in ten thousand rays.
The reason for such speed was, firstly, because it was re-cultivation, and he was familiar with the path; secondly, it was because of his martial arts achievements and strong primordial spirit, which naturally allowed him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth faster.
Mountain top.
Looking at the rolling magma in the central depression, Yan Ruyu's voice was melodious: "The ancestor's mausoleum is in this magma. You all step back; I will break the imperial array and lure out the ancestor's mausoleum."
"Wait!"
Yin Qi hurriedly called out and said, "Miss Yan, later when you break the imperial array and lure out the Green Emperor's mausoleum, will it cause any strange phenomena? Although this place is rarely visited, there are many demonic beasts, and it is also very close to the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven."
Yan Ruyu said, "Of course it will cause strange phenomena; at the very least, this magma will erupt and overflow, but there is no other way. However, as you said, this place is rarely visited; even if there are strange phenomena, the people or demonic beasts attracted will definitely not be our match. We just need to empty the treasures in the mausoleum before the major factions arrive."
Yin Qi said, "It is better to keep this matter hidden from the public eye. I will first set up an array that can conceal the strange phenomena."
"You are also proficient in array formations?"
Yan Ruyu was shocked.
The Zhetian world excels in killing, with all kinds of killing arts emerging one after another; it is indeed worthy of being a 'martial arts' world.
But for other hundred professions of cultivation, such as array formations, heavenly secrets, etc., there were very few who excelled in them.
Seeing Yin Qi's reserved smile, Yan Ruyu nodded and said, "That would be best; anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a few days late."
Yin Qi said, "Setting up an array requires array bases. Do you have any spirit jade on you?"
Spirit jade is the most basic and widely used material for setting up arrays.
"Yes!"
Yan Ruyu nodded and looked at one of the old women.
This old woman waved her hand, and piles of spirit jade appeared on the ground, asking, "These are all superior spirit jades; are they enough?"
"Enough!"
Yin Qi nodded and then began to get busy.
He used his fingers to exert blade intent, cutting the superior spirit jades one by one and carving array patterns into them.
His movements were skillful, smooth, and fluid.
Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, secretly shocked.
She was not shocked by Yin Qi's skillful movements, but by the fact that the other party possessed such extreme blade intent, as if he could slice through space-time, cutting superior spirit jade as if it were soft tofu.
One must know that the hardness of these superior spirit jades was not inferior to medium-grade spirit iron.
In terms of cultivation alone, Yin Qi was still at the initial stage of Human Immortal, but he had mastered the materialization of fist intent; because this was an achievement in terms of will, just like comprehension, it was something he was born with.
In the Yang God world, materialized fist intent could turn the world upside down and open void passages in the endless starry sky.
However, the Zhetian world was of a higher level, and space was more stable.
At noon.
Yin Qi finally finished carving all the array bases, a total of one hundred and eight pieces.
He went along the mountain top, driving the array bases into the soil one by one, and finally pinched the hand seals to activate the array. Very quickly, the mountain top area was shrouded in a layer of invisible mist.
Looking from the outside, no matter what happened inside, as long as the array was not destroyed, the outside would not detect any movement.
A look of wonder flashed in Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes as she asked, "Is this the array formation from your Earth? It seems a bit different from the array formations of our Beidou Star?"
She could clearly feel that this mountain top had become a world of its own, completely isolated from the outside.
Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Different paths lead to the same destination."
Seeing that Yin Qi did not want to say more, Yan Ruyu did not pursue the question.
She ordered the others to step back and then performed a secret technique to break all the imperial arrays around them.
A green mist flashed in Yin Qi's eyes; he used his Po Wang Eye and could see the dense imperial arrays in the void, which, after Yan Ruyu performed the secret technique, melted and disappeared like spring snow.
Especially at the crater, the imperial array originally covered the rolling magma like a large net, also suppressing the eruption of the rolling magma.
Now, as the imperial array dissolved, the rolling magma suddenly began to boil.
Endless divine light bloomed from the crater, and very quickly, an ancient palace emerged from the magma, its entirety refined from colored divine jade, crystalline throughout, with light flickering, appearing very divine and strange.
On the base of the ancient palace, many ancient characters were carved.
Some were shaped like dragons and phoenixes, others resembled mysterious turtles and qilin; these were precisely the demon race's imperial script from before the Desolate Ancient era.
"It's the Green Emperor's mausoleum!"
Qin Yao and the others exclaimed, their faces full of excitement.
A happy smile also appeared on Yan Ruyu's originally tense face, like a hundred flowers blooming, stunning and moving.
