Linghe Zhenren frowned upon hearing this, but still calmly said,
“My information is absolutely correct. I personally went to the Hidden Demon Valley over a decade ago. At that time, I sensed a powerful aura coming from one place. Then, the Crimson Fire King, who was talking with me, left directly. Although I was stopped by the other demon kings, I don't know the whole story.” Linghe Zhenren hesitated as he spoke, glanced at the people next to him, and continued,
“However, according to my senses, several demon kings fought in the Hidden Demon Valley at that time. Moreover, I seemed to sense a special aura that might be… related to the Five Spirit Cauldron.”
“If it is really related to the Five Spirit Cauldron, then the previous rumors may be true. The wood attribute spirit cauldron is in the Hidden Demon Valley. By the way, I also heard that a mysterious cultivator seemed to have taken out the Qian Spirit Cauldron before, appearing in the territory of the Spirit Ghost Sect. Bai Mei, you are also an elder of the Spirit Ghost Sect, is this true?”
“That’s right, it is true. Decades ago, a mysterious cultivator appeared at the trade fair held by this sect, making a big move. At that time, he fought with my sect’s Ghost Tomb Senior Brother and took out the Qian Spirit Cauldron, even gaining the upper hand.”
“In this case, these news will not be false. Then this time in the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, we also have to get involved, after all, it is related to the turbid Qi sealed in the Heavenly Abyss. If some old guys destroy the ancient formation, it will not be good for our survival.”
In this way, the five Ten Thousand Manifestation City elders in the cave discussed it, seemingly deciding on some major event.
…
At the same time, Zhang Ling was being led by Jiang Hao towards a place in Ten Thousand Manifestation City. During the flight, Jiang Hao said with a strange expression.
“I didn’t expect you to make this decision. Jiang was thinking you would agree to become an elder of Ten Thousand Manifestation City. That way, we could work together.”
“Haha, Fellow Daoist is too kind. Zhang is used to being idle and afraid of not being a good elder of Ten Thousand Manifestation City. It’s better to exchange it for some spiritual objects that are useful to me.”
“Hehe, this decision is actually reasonable. Fellow Daoist has profound cultivation…”
The two chatted idly and arrived at the central area of Ten Thousand Manifestation City, stopping at the foot of a stone mountain floating in the air. Jiang Hao took out a token, turned into a white light, wrapped the two people, and entered inside.
Soon after, they entered a stone cave in the mountainside.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that they left, and then the two separated, Zhang Ling directly flew back to Fire Cloud Island.
…
Inside the cave, he was sitting at the table, looking at a black wooden box on the table. On the wooden box, some white spiritual patterns flickered with a faint spiritual light. Just the wooden box in front of him was made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood, and the things inside were valuable.
This was a treasure that was exchanged from the Ten Thousand Manifestation City treasure vault with the Heavenly Abyss Token half an hour ago.
With a flash of spiritual light in his hand, several spiritual powers hit the wooden box, and with a snap, the wooden box opened, inside was a gray-white sandalwood.
As soon as the box was opened, a fragrance could be smelled instantly. As soon as this fragrance was inhaled into his nose, Zhang Ling immediately felt a cold air enter his brain, causing him to shiver.
But this special aura stimulated his head, and for a while, Zhang Ling's mind became clearer.
Only then did he concentrate on looking at the sandalwood in the box. This incense was only an inch long and as thin as a thin silver needle.
Just this small sandalwood incense stick is priceless.
This incense is called Phantom Demon Incense, although the name is a bit strange. But it is a rare spiritual object that can assist in condensing the Nascent Soul.
Moreover, unlike ordinary auxiliary spiritual objects, Phantom Demon Incense releases a special smoke after being lit, which lasts for a long time. Sitting in it to break through the bottleneck can keep the mind clear and reduce the interference of inner demons.
Although this thing cannot directly increase the chance of a cultivator breaking through, it is more valuable than ordinary spiritual objects.
It is said that Phantom Demon Incense is made from the spiritual bones of a special demon beast, which is very rare.
Zhang Ling didn't expect to get such a stick from the treasure vault of Ten Thousand Manifestation City. Originally, when he took out the Heavenly Abyss Token, he wanted to exchange it for spiritual objects that would help condense the Nascent Soul.
When facing Elder Yuan's inquiry, he made this request. Elder Yuan was stunned when he heard his request, but he still agreed to this request, allowing him to enter a treasure cave in Ten Thousand Manifestation City to choose treasures.
In the treasure vault of Ten Thousand Manifestation City, Zhang Ling saw four or five kinds of spiritual objects that assisted cultivators in condensing the Nascent Soul. It made his eyes light up, wishing he could take them all away, but he could only choose one.
What made him depressed was that he didn't find his favorite Nascent Soul Pill among these spiritual objects. If there was a Nascent Soul Pill, he would choose it without hesitation.
He didn't know if Ten Thousand Manifestation City really didn't have it, or if there were only those kinds of auxiliary spiritual patterns in that treasure vault. After choosing and choosing, he finally chose this Phantom Demon Incense.
After all, another hurdle in condensing the Nascent Soul is the inner demon, which is often more dangerous. Zhang Ling was still secretly delighted to be able to exchange for such a Phantom Demon Incense. After carefully checking the Phantom Demon Incense several times, he re-sealed the item and put it away.
Then, the Two Instruments Gourd appeared with a flash of blue light. The treasure instantly swelled to the size of ten feet. A stream of blue and white air was released from it, wrapping his body. With a flash of blue light, he entered into it.
The gourd was filled with more than half of the Heavenly Star Sand. Zhang Ling stood on the sand, looking at another Heavenly Abyss Token floating in front of him. He pinched his chin and thought about his next plan.
This was another Heavenly Abyss Token in his hand. After learning that Jiang Hao was looking for him for the Heavenly Abyss Token, he put a Heavenly Abyss Token into the Two Instruments Gourd and hid it in his body.
The things collected in the Two Instruments Gourd cannot be detected even if there is a Nascent Soul level cultivator standing in front of him. This is the characteristic of the natal magic treasure.
Of course, the gourd has its own internal space, which is considered a space treasure, so it can store some things inside.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ling made up his mind to participate in this Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm.
After all, there are not small opportunities there, although there are many risks. But his current cultivation base has also reached the late stage of Jindan, and his strength has greatly increased. In addition, there are also Corpse Bear, Twin-Tailed Cat, and a large group of Earth Spirit Bees. His current strength is not weaker than any Jindan cultivator.
As long as he is careful, there will not be too many dangers.
Another reason is that the Abyss Secret Realm only opens once every three hundred years. If he misses this time, the next time it opens, he will probably be five hundred years old, and the chance of condensing the Nascent Soul will be slim.
After all, simply looking for spiritual objects to assist cultivators in forming Nascent Soul in the outside world cannot be found just by having spirit stones. How many cultivators are ruined and cannot find one.
Even the top ten sects and other large and small forces do not have many opportunities to obtain this kind of spiritual object. What's more, he is a casual cultivator, and the opportunity is even less.
If he can take this opportunity to find one or two kinds of spiritual objects to assist in condensing the Nascent Soul, the certainty of condensing will be greatly increased.
