Yang Rui was very smart and immediately realized what Zhang Yan had given him.
Wu Xin Shui Jade is useless to Yang Rui anyway. He is not a warrior, and he does not want to establish any warrior power. He is cultivating Taoism. Therefore, Wu Xin Shuiyu will eventually be handed over to Nanyuan Kingdom.
Since you have to hand it over, why not get a price that is beneficial to you?
Just as the master said, in front of Wu Xin Shuiyu, what does the marriage contract between Princess Huayue and him mean? As long as he gets rid of this engagement, Yang Rui feels that he will be able to fly freely in the future. He treats other trivial matters as if he cannot hear or understand them, and unless they are of great importance, he will not take care of them anymore.
Yang Rui was impatient. Now that he has traveled far away, his thoughts have become simpler.
Don't think about trivial matters, just follow the path.
"It's just strength" that breaks away from and cuts off Liu Xin's pursuit and then advances bravely. Yang Rui is also pure. His "Tao" is to practice pure Taoism and realize Taoism. Strength is not the first thing he pursues.
I finally had a plan in mind. Yang Rui no longer stayed in the icy and snowy North Kingdom, bid farewell to Zhang Yan, and left for Nanyuan Kingdom. And took a different path than when he came. His experience continues.
After Yang Rui left, Zhang Yan did not move back to Cliff Mountain. He became curious about the dark underground palace mentioned by Yang Rui.
Following the guidance left by Yang Rui, Zhang Yan quickly touched the deep pool at the entrance of the underground palace, and then escaped into the water. When he came out again, he was already in the middle of the mountain.
Perception, this place is surrounded by solid rocks and covers an extremely large area. It is far more than the layer where Zhang Yan is standing now. There are several overlapping layers under the feet, even reaching deep into the mountain.
This is not as simple as an underground palace. Rather, it is a huge community of ruins.
The reason why it is said to be a ruins rather than an underground palace is that there are no murderous traps from the entrance, and it doesn't seem to be a place that denies people a thousand miles away. It seems that I was accidentally trapped here, or that this place was used for other purposes, but it was vacant for some reason until now.
Zhang Yan also saw the treasure boxes at the entrance and the three corpses that fell on the ground. These should be the group of unlucky ones led by Xu Yegong, the ninth prince of Qiande Shangguo, whom Yang Rui mentioned before.
After passing through the furnishings at the entrance and walking inside, Zhang Yan did not find any mechanical insurance cards along the way, but as Yang Rui said along the way, it was very weird. The weird thing is that all the furnishings and public objects are like miniature toys.
Whether it is water cups, kettles, tables, chairs, benches, even cabinet screens, and the various strange-shaped stone carvings scattered here, they all look several sizes too small and not the normal size.
Zhang Yan casually picked up a fist-sized teapot. It was exquisitely made and made of porcelain. It was no worse than the top-grade porcelain in the Huangtian Domain, and was even more exquisite.
"Why is this thing so small?" Zhang Yan walked and looked at it. First of all, he was sure that these things were definitely not toys.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
As long as something is not made as a toy, it must have its fixed function. Only functions that meet the needs will be used, otherwise waste will not be left behind.
Since the house in front of me and all the furnishings in it are not toys, they must be the most suitable objects here and meet the needs of the original owner.
A fist-sized teapot? The person who uses this teapot...
dwarf? Or a group of small humanoids?
Why the human race? Because although the things here are different, they are not essentially different from the objects used by humans today. If it were a non-humanoid creature, it would never have these furnishings.
Are these people the former human race in the Desolate Sky Domain?
Or is it that the Desolate Heaven Realm swallowed up other worlds at a certain time, causing the space to overlap, and ran into this mountain range, like the Yin Clan and the "Orb"?
Keep walking while observing. Zhang Yan still doesn't think this place is the same as the Yin clan and "Yuanqiu". Because although the styles of the furnishings here are different, there are similarities. And so far, except for the corpses that most likely belong to Xu Yegong's group of unlucky people from the Qiande Shangguo, no other corpses have been found here.
If the space overlapped, it would be impossible for such a large and luxuriously arranged place to contain not a single creature. Even with the shaking, it was impossible for most of the furnishings here to stay in place without collapsing.
Not long after, Zhang Yan saw the place where Yang Rui turned back halfway, the corpse with the fan broken into pieces, and the strange statue with vertical eyes in the center of the corpse.
There were many statues along the way before, including gold and precious stones. But they were neatly placed on both sides of the wall. Some are placed in the display compartments of some wall cabinets, and some are displayed on a special shelf.
The vertical eye in front of me, which is a little over a foot tall, is placed in the middle of the passage of the building.
And Zhang Yan's senses had already sensed the danger contained in this statue without touching it. For a monk of Yang Rui's level, it was indeed a fatal murderous intention. Yang Rui's choice to go back directly was definitely the right decision. But even if Yang Rui moved the statue, he wouldn't end up like the corpses on the ground. The protective magical weapon Zhang Yan gave him on his body can save his life.
"It's strange! You can actually see soul skills here!" If Zhang Yan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. Because soul skills are rarely recorded in Longhu Mountain's classics, they are among the less popular cultivation paths. Even in the Earth Legend Age, it was difficult to find a sect that practiced soul cultivation among a hundred sects.
There are few monks who practice soul cultivation. On the one hand, this path of cultivation is very risky. If something goes wrong, you will basically die. On the other hand, it is because it is extremely difficult to grasp the right limits in spiritual practice. If you are not careful, you may go down a wrong path and become an evil cultivator and be beaten by everyone.
And even if the soul technique has been cultivated to great perfection, it will not be more powerful than the three mainstream cultivation methods of martial arts cultivation, physical cultivation, and Shinto. At most, it will be more mysterious.
Therefore, when the risks and benefits are not proportional, there are fewer and fewer monks cultivating souls, and they have already become extinct in the legendary era of the earth.
But I didn't expect it to appear in the wilderness. You must know that although soul magic is unpopular, it is also a serious monk's art. Zhang Yan had always thought that he was the only monk of his lineage in the Desolate Heaven Realm. That doesn't seem to be the case today.
"Desolate Heaven Realm! How many secrets have you hidden?" Zhang Yan walked up to the statue with vertical eyes, raised his hand and stretched it towards the statue. At the same time, under the cover of regular power, all the soul-killing moves that spread out instantly from the vertical eye were locked.
"Soul magic... is indeed very similar to the methods of ghost cultivators! It is indeed easy to cause problems when cultivating this kind of thing."
Seal the statue and put it in the storage backpack. Then Zhang Yan continued to move forward. He had a hunch that he could find many things here that were beyond his expectation, and it was definitely not just soul arts.
