Chapter 184

Jiang Yu looked at the remaining skeletons, which were also all taken down, and then she and Jiang Tu began researching the captured skeletons.

However, this smashed one had no control whatsoever, and the few still trapped in the big net were still bouncing about.

Jiang Yu was about to use an immobilization talisman to pin it down, when Lin Yuan on the other side already found the reason: "Here, the joint of the fourth finger on the left hand."

She quickly grabbed a white bone hand from the big net and slapped the immobilization talisman onto the skull's head.

Elder Qian walked over, extending a thread of divine sense that instantly penetrated it for close inspection; after a moment he sighed: "The color of this finger joint is more crystalline, it has been deliberately refined."

On it remains a special spell pattern; when their guarded place is attacked, they become part of the formation's counterstrike.

"So, we can't use our divine sense to recognize them as masters and control them, can we?" Jiang Tu understood, seeing Elder Qian nod, it let out two howls and smashed all the noisy skeletons in the big net.

Jiang Yu retracted the spirit net, pulled out all the special finger bones, then conjured a fireball to burn the skeletons; Lin Yuan sent her a mental message: "Do you feel that Jiang Tu's temper isn't as good as before?"

"It has been suppressing its cultivation on the second layer and can't come out of the spirit beast bag." Jiang Yu understood; after hearing the two characters "Azure Net", Jiang Tu has been using its position as a marker, extending its divine sense outward to search for the Tai Ji Dian.

Moreover, the limitless use of divine sense causes fatigue; taking nourishing spirit pills and calming spirit pills can only restore stamina temporarily, but it's never as good as a proper sleep.

And just as she was speaking, Jiang Tu's divine sense began to extend outward again.

"Jiang Tu, do you want to sleep a bit?" Jiang Yu fed it a calming spirit pill.

"No, you also heard the little snake's voice; it is of an unsettled nature."

"If it truly is the guardian beast of the cave heaven, and it reaches the Tai Ji Dian before us, it might drive everyone away prematurely." After sending that mental message, Jiang Tu gave Lin Yuan a deep look; just now he had definitely made a self-deprecating remark about himself.

Its meaning was too obvious; Lin Yuan saw through it at a glance: "I'm just concerned about you."

"Hmph!" Jiang Tu turned its butt toward him, seeing the cultivators from Heavenly Origin and Dragon Emperor Island flying up this mountain one after another.

However, the cultivators from the East Continent passing beneath the mountain instead bypassed it and continued flying elsewhere to seek opportunities.

Elder Qian naturally could see as well: "This mountain has probably been completely hollowed out."

For now, only the place where these skeletons first ran out is worth investigating."

"I didn't notice where the skeletons came from."

"Jiang Yu, have you guys seen it?" Before Lu Ruochan's words even finished, Xia Bing said: "I also didn't see it, but she surely knows."

Saying that, they released the female ghost cultivator they had just apprehended.

Jiang Yu discovered that the ghost cultivators, unafraid of fighting a few rounds, would instantly shrink into a trembling ball upon merely glancing at Elder Qian.

"Speak voluntarily, lest this True Person search your soul." Elder Qian's words contained a certain strong soul-guidance.

As a result, not only did the ghost cultivator honestly answer everything, but it also made Jiang Tu, whose divine sense was a bit weary, close its eyes and fall asleep.

Jiang Yu hurriedly sent her little companion into the spirit beast bag, but what was actually sent in was the dragon pearl.

Then she followed the elder to the Library Hall mentioned by the ghost cultivator.

As soon as they found the Library Hall, which outwardly had only two layers but actually seven inside, quite a few cultivators, also those who could control skeletons and ghost cultivators, all rushed over.

Without even exchanging a greeting, they all ran to the various floors to look for treasures.

However, Jiang Yu went up floor by floor; each floor had no books, not even a trace left on the bookshelves or floor.

"The East Continent cultivators are too overbearing, fellow Daoists; why don't our two immortal realms complement each other and jointly explore the mountain peak where the protective grand formation still operates?" A Golden Core cultivator from Dragon Emperor Island proactively sought discussion with a Heavenly Origin Golden Core cultivator.

The Golden Core cultivator of Profound Heaven Sect countered: "Each time the cave heaven manifests, the medicinal garden peak is different; do you fellow Daoists know exactly where it is?"

"Of course there are records left by our predecessors."

"I suppose you are not entirely clear: the halls on the mountain of the Great Luo Cave Heaven do not represent the same sect."

"The predecessors who have been to this island once said, the cave heaven is vast, accommodating sects in increments of ten." The Dragon Emperor Island cultivators who have entered are too few; they urgently need allies.

These, Jiang Yu had never heard before; however, Xuantang Xingjun is strictly on guard.

Moreover, the Golden Core cultivator of Profound Heaven Sect cannot decide for everyone, so they summoned Elder Qian and other Golden Core cultivators together, setting up a barrier to gauge the possibility of cooperation.

Lu heard that the other side's Heavenly Origin speech was especially fluent, and she mentally transmitted to her senior brothers and sisters: "They wouldn't, in front of the East Continent cultivators, also try to win them over, would they?"

According to records, although the Dragon Emperor Islands reside overseas, the common official language used there is Heavenly Origin speech and East Continent speech side by side.

Their own native dialect is used only by mortals.

"It's merely cooperation, coming together and parting; our information is too scarce, relying solely on feeling to hunt for treasure, we can only fall back to the second time we competed with demon beasts for spiritual herbs." Jiang Yu didn't mind the temporary cooperation.

She surveyed the empty top floor, thinking that some sects' libraries also open up hidden spaces.

Then, does this building have such a space?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu and Xia Shijie shared their idea: "Senior Sister, do you have on you any kind of spell-breaking talisman or similar magical treasure?"

"Spell-breaking talismans are high-grade magical treasures; the sect also only has one or two of them."

It is said that they have already been exchanged by the Exalted True Person of the Law Enforcement Hall.

"You surely aren't thinking of breaking open the hidden chambers of these few floors, are you?" Xia Bing said with certainty.

Just as Jiang Yu nodded over there, she saw the Golden Core cultivators from Heavenly Origin and Dragon Emperor Island forming a large team, each responsible for leading their own people.

A Golden Core cultivator from Dragon Emperor Island, to show sincerity, pointed at the spot where Jiang Yu was standing and said: "It's roughly right where she stands."

When everyone's gaze turned toward them, Jiang Yu and Xia Bing leapt aside together, but to no avail.

A female Golden Core cultivator from Dragon Emperor Island, holding several copper coins that kept flipping, said: "You two don't move; the hidden space is shifting as you change positions."

Her voice was a bit loud, waking the restless Jiang Tu inside the dragon pearl: "Jiang Yu, this female cultivator looks somewhat familiar."

"Beauty's Tears." Jiang Yu recognized the female cultivator, who was poisoned and claimed to be from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

She originally thought it was the East Continent Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, but didn't expect it to be from Dragon Emperor Island.

The female Golden Core cultivator spoke again: "Yes, you two don't move. Could you tell me what you have obtained on this mountain?"

"Does this count?" Xia Bing and Jiang Yu made the same gesture, raising the finger bone.

The female cultivator's eyes flashed: "That's it."

"We also have one; why isn't it with us?" Two Golden Core demon cultivators spoke in unison, likewise raising a crystalline finger bone.

"Probably mine are more." Before the great hall, Jiang Yu gathered together the finger bones that her senior brothers and sisters had flicked off.

Then everyone uniformly entrusted them to her for safekeeping, so Jiang Yu slapped her storage bag and over a dozen finger bones flew out.

In an instant, it stirred the illusory image behind her, which flashed before everyone's eyes and vanished.

A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators were very happy, "It's an independent space."

"I saw many books and bamboo slips inside."

"Yuan Zhenren, how do we open that space?" and the group of Golden Core cultivators also asked the female cultivator.
