"The key to the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers was divided into more than a hundred parts and hidden in their respective souls," Shen Sanruo said calmly, recounting the results of her investigation.

To obtain the key, it is necessary to extract it from their souls and reshape it.

However, apart from Yin Hong, the corpses of the other evil cultivators were all cold. We need to collect their souls as soon as possible, otherwise they will have to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

The seniors in the transitional realm who were skilled in soul magic immediately went to capture the soul, and refining the key was not a difficult task.

"She actually found it." The people from the Beast Taming Sect had strange expressions.

But Shen Sangruo was more concerned with other information about the evil cultivators in the Yin World from Yin Hong's memory.

Because they arrived in the Transitional Realm thousands of years ago, most of their memories are about formations, evil objects, and schemes involving the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers.

Once they arrive in the underworld, they only need to wait quietly for the formations they have set up to fully take shape, and they can directly take over the cultivation world without having to plan anything further.

Those evil cultivators must have had other plans to turn the cultivation world into the hellish realm described in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master's predictions; they couldn't have done it with just their strength.

However, Yin Hong's memory contained no relevant information, which suggests that their contingency plan may have only been in the works after Yin Hong and the others arrived in the Transitional Realm.

This is the most unfavorable situation for the cultivation world.

She explained the situation to the senior colleagues, and their expressions became somewhat serious.

Perhaps this is the fate of the cultivation world; it is destined to experience this calamity.

“However, I found something rather strange in Yin Hong’s memories. Those evil cultivators acted very mysteriously, but there were relatively few related memories. I wonder if it’s related to their backup plan.” Shen Sanruo pondered.

It's not that there were absolutely no discoveries.

"It was a giant furnace, pitch black all you could see, I had no idea what it was for."

The Flying Cloud Sect Ancestor said, "Furnace? Furnaces are usually used for alchemy and weapon crafting. In the hands of those evil cultivators, they can also be used to refine human pills or some sinister magical artifacts and treasures to enhance strength."

However, none of these things seem sufficient to turn the tide of the battle and allow the evil cultivators to achieve an overwhelming victory.

Everyone was pondering, considering every possible use of the furnace, but this was the only clue they had.

Perhaps these heretical practitioners have other methods at their disposal.

"It's alright. Just get the key as soon as possible and destroy the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers. Maybe we can destroy the Yin World directly, and then none of this will happen." The first Lord of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits frowned slightly.

"I'll take some people to remove the restrictions on the transitional realm," said the patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Shen Sangri had also found the method for removing the restrictions through Yin Hong's memories.

Otherwise, she and Qi Yan's souls wouldn't be able to leave the transitional realm with the key.

With everything arranged, everyone felt much more at ease.

"There's one more thing," the Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch suddenly spoke up.

He looked at Chen Sangruo and said sternly, "Little girl, have you completed the task I assigned you?"

The Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch was referring to the matter of having her learn summoning techniques.

He looked every bit the strict teacher who was about to examine her learning progress.

Shen Sanruo smiled modestly, "Although I am still a little unskilled, establishing a soul connection with you seniors should not be a problem."

"After establishing a connection between the soul and spirit, with more practice, you will become proficient."

The final step in establishing a spell is to create a soul connection with someone in the transitional realm, after which the spell can be summoned directly.

"Really?" The Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch seemed surprised by her rapid learning speed.

Being able to summon a powerful being several realms stronger than oneself, the complexity of the spells is naturally unmatched by ordinary spells.

This was indeed the most difficult spell Shen Sangri had ever seen.

The Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch thought it would take her at least two days to memorize the spell, but it's only been less than a day.

"You little brat, are you trying to fool me?" The shrewd but murky eyes of the Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch revealed suspicion.

"Why would I lie to you? You'll see for yourself whether it's true or not." Shen Sanruo's smile remained unchanged.

He gathered divine power in his hands, continuously forming hand seals that left trails of crimson lines.

He muttered obscure incantations under his breath, which the Grandmaster of the Flying Cloud Sect, a Mahayana cultivator, could naturally hear clearly. Comparing the incantations with those in the book, they were exactly the same.

Subsequently, an array appeared beneath the feet of the Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch, and he felt something added to his soul.

That was the soul connection sent by Shen Sangruo, which required the consent of the Flying Cloud Sect's ancestor before a connection could be established between the two.

Without any hesitation, he agreed immediately, his expression filled with excitement.

"You little rascal, good! Good indeed!"

After so many years in the cultivation world, finally an extraordinary figure has emerged!

He looked at Chen Sangruo with satisfaction and full of praise for her. It would be even better if she were a junior from their Feiyun Sect.

However, being in a sect like Ninghua Sect is not a bad thing for them.

After establishing contact with the patriarch of the Flying Cloud Sect, she followed the same method and established contact with all the seniors present.

Establishing a connection doesn't consume much of one's spiritual power; the real drain on spiritual power comes from summoning them.

Her spiritual power might not be enough to summon all her predecessors, but establishing connections with them all is certainly not a mistake.

"Hopefully, the addition of us old folks can be the key to turning the tide of the battle," the Flying Cloud Sect's patriarch sighed softly.

Through Shen Sangri, they learned the result of the divination by the Master of Tianji Pavilion, and knew that there might be a glimmer of hope after that predetermined ending.

Currently, their force is the strongest force in the cultivation world, beyond any expectation.

They didn't know if it was something the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had seen before his death, but they were determined to try it.

Half an hour later, the cultivators who went to collect the souls of the evil cultivators also returned.

Shen Sanruo also established a spiritual connection with them.

As the connection between their souls was nearing completion, she suddenly felt a strange yet familiar gaze upon her.

Shen Sanruo narrowed her eyes slightly, this feeling...

It was the Heavenly Dao that hadn't appeared for a long time, coldly observing until everyone thought it was dead!

She looked up at the sky and, sure enough, met the gaze of the heavens once again.

She thought she would only see the Heavenly Dao during her next breakthrough, but she didn't expect to see it ahead of time.

What is He trying to express this time?

The feeling she got from the Heavenly Dao was subtle; it didn't seem like He had truly abandoned the cultivation world, otherwise He wouldn't have met her gaze so many times.

The battle against the evil cultivators has entered its final stage. Shouldn't Heaven make its message clear to her now?

She stared intently at the sky, trying to discern something from the "eyes" of the heavens.

But just like the previous two times, Heaven only glanced at her before disappearing without a trace.
