In the world of Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine stood there with her back to him, her face cold. On the small bed beside her, Hong'er, who had eaten her fill, was sleeping soundly.
And a touch of faint purple light is particularly eye-catching in this green world.
The four Netherworld petals were intact, and were being wrapped in a thin layer of green light, floating there quietly. Even so, the purple light still shone completely, but it did not touch Yun Che's soul in the slightest.
“It seems that its soul-separation power has been blocked by the Sky Poison Pearl.” Yun Che approached with confidence.
“Humph, what does it have to do with the Sky Poison Pearl? Once the Netherworld Udumbara Flower is picked, the Netherworld Power will seal itself off and won’t overflow anymore.” Jasmine turned around but turned her face away, not looking at him.
“Hmm?” Yun Che stared at Jasmine’s little face and said with a look of surprise: “Jasmine, your eyes seem a little strange. Why do they feel… like you’ve been crying?”
"Nonsense!" Jasmine's reaction was like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "I would cry? This is ridiculous!"
“…” Jasmine’s obviously unusual reaction made Yun Che’s eyes full of suspicion. He turned his gaze back to the Netherworld Flower Petals and said seriously: “Two Sovereign Profound Beast’s Profound Cores, more than seventy kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals, and now the Netherworld Udumbara Flower… Jasmine, all the things you need have been gathered. In this way, can you start to reshape your body directly? Or do you still need other conditions? For example, the environment, some kind of external force…”
“No need! Now that we have all these things, we can start right away!” Jasmine shook her head, then gave Yun Che a deep look and said unhappily, “The fact that you were able to obtain these four Netherworld petals is indeed far beyond my expectations, but you are absolutely not allowed to do the same thing again in the future… Forget it, you won’t listen to me anyway even if I tell you!”
“I will start rebuilding my body now!” Jasmine’s eyes became more focused. “I cannot go outside right now, and the Sky Poison Pearl can hold souls but not living things. If I were to do it here, there would be a risk of some kind of mutation. Therefore, the best choice, or the only choice, is the Primordial Profound Ark.”
“I thought so too.” Yun Che nodded immediately.
“After I regain my body, the evil energy of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave will not be able to harm me at all. As for the blocking barrier…” Jasmine showed contempt: “I can tear it apart easily.”
She turned her eyes to the side and said, "You ignored the barrier and stayed here. You thought that I could easily tear open the barrier after I reshaped my body, right?"
“That’s right.” Yun Che stared at the Netherworld petals and tapped his chin, seeming to be thinking about something: “But before that… By the way, Jasmine, if you want to reshape your body, how long will the whole process take?”
Jasmine thought for a moment and replied, "Although I know the method, I have never tried it. But according to the records, combined with the strength of my power, it shouldn't take too long. About ten hours or so. It may be longer or shorter, but it shouldn't be too far off."
“I see.” This time was much shorter than Yun Che had expected. Indeed, things at Jasmine’s level were simply beyond his understanding and measurement.
After silently calculating the time he had stayed in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, he suddenly said, “Jasmine, your soul body cannot be away from me for too long. What if it is in the Primordial Profound Ark? After all, it can be stored in my body.”
Jasmine instantly understood what Yun Che meant and shook her head decisively: “Of course not! The Primordial Profound Ark is a world of its own. If I were in the Primordial Profound Ark and you were not, then even if the Primordial Profound Ark was contained within your body, it would still be like two worlds apart! If time passes too long, before I can reshape my body, my soul will have already dispersed.”
"Could it be that you can't wait for me to rebuild my body and want to leave the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave as soon as possible?"
“I guess so.” Yun Che nodded and said, “I have already stayed here for three days. If the time calculation is not too far off, the Devil Sword Conference will be held in about six or seven hours. If I can get out now, I can catch up with the Devil Sword Conference.”
“Without a body, I cannot show up in the Moon-Slaying Devil Cave! How are you going to get out?” Jasmine thought of something as soon as she finished speaking: “Could it be that you are going to…”
“At least, I can give it a try!” Yun Che rubbed his hands together, his expression quite expectant: “If it succeeds, that would be the best. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter too much. The main purpose of my coming to the Supreme Ocean Palace has been achieved. It’s not necessary for me to participate in the Devil Sword Conference.”
Yun Che’s consciousness left the Sky Poison Pearl, he opened his eyes, ignited the Golden Crow Flame, and walked slowly outside under the scorching light.
Bang.
Suddenly, a sound came from behind, like the sound of a stone falling. The sound was very slight, but in this extremely quiet dark world it was extremely clear, causing Yun Che to stop in his tracks instantly. His nerves, which had been completely relaxed, tensed up as if they were electrocuted.
Bang…bang…bang-bang-bang…
The sound of hard objects falling to the ground continued, and it became faster and faster. Just as Yun Che turned around, a huge bang suddenly sounded.
BANG!!
“Don’t be nervous,” Jasmine said calmly, “The stone wall at the deepest part has collapsed. When you blasted the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord to death, most of your strength was directed at that stone wall. Although it didn’t collapse at that time, it had already cracked into many parts. I didn’t expect it to collapse at this time.”
“So that’s how it is.” Yun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go take a look!” Jasmine suddenly said, “That is the stone wall at the deepest part of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, but it has collapsed so much… It is very likely that there is another cave behind the stone wall!”
Yun Che followed his instructions and moved forward, taking slow and careful steps. At the same time, he let the Golden Crow Flame burn more fiercely and slightly expanded his field of vision.
Snap!
With a slight sound, he stepped on a pile of loose and hard objects. Yun Che quickly looked down and found that he was stepping on a pile of black ash.
The corpse of the Moon-Slaughtering Demon Lord was burned by the Golden Crow Flame!
Only part of it turned into ashes, while the other part could not be burned to ashes even by the Golden Crow Flame, and it was as hard as a rock.
Yun Che ignored it and continued forward. Soon, a field of pitch-black gravel appeared in the firelight.
Yun Che swung his arm and threw the Golden Crow Flame in his hand forward. The flame landed on the ground, bursting into a larger flame, and also illuminated the entire scene in front of him... The dark stone wall that was originally the end of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave had collapsed by more than half, and rubble was scattered all over the ground.
And where the collapse occurred, there appeared a black hole like an abyss!
The Golden Crow Flame he threw out was right at the edge of the collapse, illuminating the entire "black hole" with exceptional clarity, but inside the black hole was a terrifying blackness, not a single trace could be seen. The Golden Crow Flame was so close, but it could not shine into it at all.
It was as if the world behind the strongest light would be instantly swallowed up once it touched the stone wall.
“That’s… there really seems to be another space behind that!” Yun Che whispered, and then couldn’t help but hold his breath. He suddenly thought that he could blast open this wall with one sword at his limit, and with the strength of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord… maybe it would take a little longer, but he must have the ability to blast it open.
But before he blasted it open, the stone wall was clearly intact.
Could it be that in ten thousand years, the Moon-Slaying Devil Lord had not discovered that there was another world behind the stone wall?
Or... did he know, but for some reason didn't blast it away?
Or maybe... this stone wall was originally built by the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord! ?
Huge doubts and curiosity arose in Yun Che’s heart. He ignited a cluster of Golden Crow flames in his hand, then stepped forward, wanting to get closer to the "black hole" and find out what kind of world was behind the stone wall.
But before he could even step foot on the ground, Jasmine suddenly shouted, "Don't come near! Back off immediately!!"
Yun Che’s entire body froze, and he quickly turned around and stepped back, taking several steps in a row.
“Jasmine, what’s wrong? Is there any danger in there?” Yun Che asked cautiously.
“It’s more than just dangerous!” Jasmine’s voice was extremely heavy: “I finally know where the dark evil energy here comes from!”
“…It came from there?” Yun Che’s brows also sank.
“That’s right! It’s behind that stone wall! Being able to release such a high-level dark aura, the things hidden inside must be extremely terrifying!” Jasmine’s voice became increasingly low. Yun Che didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Jasmine’s tone at this moment was as if she was frightened by something: “Moreover, when I probed my consciousness into it just now…”
Jasmine paused, and after a long while she let out a deep breath and continued, "I can't describe what that feeling is like. Anyway, stay away immediately and don't ever come near again!"
Yun Che responded and continued to retreat, but this time even his steps were much slower, for fear of disturbing the unknown terrifying existence behind the stone wall.
He can risk his life several times for the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, but that doesn't mean he would be so stupid as to take risks just for meaningless curiosity!
After taking seven or eight steps back, Yun Che turned around… but just when he was halfway around, a slight reflection of light flashed across the corner of his eyes.
Hmm? Light!?
Why is there reflection here?
Yun Che hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward quickly.
“What are you going to do!?” Jasmine was shocked, thinking that he was going to force his way into the world behind the stone wall.
Yun Che stopped at the approximate location where the reflection appeared, and then slowly squatted down.
In front of him was a pile of ashes left after the Moon Slaughter Demon Lord was burned. This pile of ashes was scattered because he accidentally stepped on it. Under the scattered ashes, there was an unusual black color, and under the illumination of the Golden Crow Flame, it reflected a strong enough bright light.
Yun Che stretched out his hand, grabbed the reflective object, and took it out directly from the pile of ashes.
This is a perfectly round piece of black jade, the size of a palm, cold and heavy to the touch, flawless black all over, extremely smooth, and the front and back are exactly the same, with no marks or lines on it.
"What is that?" Jasmine asked in surprise.
“I don’t know. I was just about to ask you.” Yun Che looked at it again and again, but could not find anything strange. And Jasmine’s words showed that even she had no idea what it was.
But what is certain is that this thing must belong to the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord. The Moon Slaughter Devil Lord has been silent here for ten thousand years, but he has not discarded it, and he has obviously been carrying it with him all the time... So, it cannot be just an ordinary piece of black jade! !
Even the flesh and skin of the Moon-Slaughtering Demon Lord was burned to ashes by the Golden Crow Flame, but it remained intact. This alone was enough to prove that it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
However, it has no patterns, no words, and not even a trace of power! Judging from the aura alone, it seems to be just an ordinary piece of jade, not even as good as the low-grade Xuanyu.
“Jasmine, have you found anything special about it?” Yun Che brought the black jade closer to his eyes, trying hard to discover something.
“…Try injecting your profound energy into it.” Jasmine said.
"good!"
Yun Che took a deep breath and gently injected a stream of profound energy into the black jade. But immediately, a look of deep surprise appeared on his face, and then he flipped his palm and injected a stronger stream of profound energy... and his face also showed another bit of surprise.
"What's going on?" Jasmine frowned at his expression and asked immediately.
"Disappeared!?" Yun Che still looked at his palm in disbelief. The two streams of profound energy he injected into the black jade disappeared without a trace, just like a drop in the ocean. However, the reflective black jade still had no breath!
The two streams of mysterious energy that were injected into it were like being completely swallowed up by an invisible abyss and disappeared forever between heaven and earth.
“Disappeared?” Jasmine’s face showed the same surprise as Yun Che’s. She pondered for a moment and whispered, “Since it came from the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, it is very likely something at the level of ‘devil’! The mystery within it is simply not something that ordinary people can comprehend.”
"Don't worry about it for now. Put it away for now. Maybe it will be useful in the future. For now, you should focus on how to get out of here!"
