Chapter 687 Soul Jade
It was not only the descendants of Xuanyuan in Langhuan Palace who were shocked.
Even Qi Mo widened his eyes slightly, and after a moment a hint of realization appeared in his eyes.
"It turns out that the Xuanyuan lineage did not exterminate the clan, but instead hid their identities and established the Langhuan Palace in silence... You guys hid it well enough."
Qi Mo tapped the folding fan lightly on his palm, narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled.
"No wonder I always feel that the core formation in this spirit core looks a little familiar."
Yun Qingqing nodded, looking at the dim spirit core in front of her. A point of white light condensed from her fingertips, and rays of light spread out, wrapping around the spirit core.
"Yes, it is the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array'."
This formation was originally created by her. When she taught Ji Xuanyuan the Qimen Dunjia, she also taught him this formation.
Unexpectedly, the talented young man improved the formation and used it to create a small world. The three variations at the center of the formation were exactly the ideas that Ji Xuanyuan proposed when he asked her for advice.
Qi Mo understood what was going on and said nothing more.
But Xuanyuan Song and the other elders were confused and exchanged glances with increasing doubt, wanting to ask further questions.
Qi Mo opened his folding fan and stood in front of Xuanyuan Song, making a gesture to silence him:
"Don't bother me yet. Can't you see my master is helping the spirit core to cultivate the formation? If you have anything to say, wait until she's done."
The elders then noticed that the white light at Yun Qingqing's fingertips was like silk threads, interweaving into a web on the surface of the spirit core. The white light and golden light flowed around her body, her clothes moved without wind, and her whole body seemed to be integrated with the spirit core.
Everyone was a little stunned, with hope in their eyes. No matter what the origin of this young Pavilion Master was, it seemed that he could really repair the spirit core!
Qi Mo spoke calmly:
"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you send someone to get those three things?"
The elders came back to their senses, and Xuanyuan Song immediately turned to the disciple behind him:
"Zhao'er, quickly take people to get the Xinghui Sand and Xuanning Dew. As for the tablet of Taizu in the ancestral hall..."
He hesitated for a moment. According to ancestral rules, if one wanted to move Taizu's tablet, one had to bathe, change clothes, and hold a ceremony before inviting him.
Qi Mo saw his thoughts and raised his eyebrows:
"It's already this late, you guys are not still going through all that red tape, are you? Don't worry, repairing the small world is an important matter, your great ancestor won't blame you."
"My friend, what you said makes sense." Xuanyuan Song felt relieved when he heard it. He nodded and said to Xuanyuan Zhao, "Go and get the tablet quickly."
Xuanyuan Zhao immediately accepted the order and turned around to find two people to go with him.
A female disciple stood up and said:
"Brother, I am familiar with the location of the things in the warehouse. I will go with you to get them."
Xuanyuan Zhao nodded:
"Okay, then Junior Sister Yu and Junior Brother Sheng, the two of you follow me."
Another male disciple Xuanyuan Sheng stepped forward upon hearing this, and the three of them left together.
About an incense stick of time later, Xuanyuan Zhao hurried back with his fellow disciples.
The three people were holding three objects respectively: Xuanyuan Yu held a green jade box in both hands, which contained star sand that sparkled with starlight; Xuanyuan Sheng carefully held an ice crystal bottle, which contained the mysterious dew with a faint blue luster; Xuanyuan Zhao respectfully held a rosewood box.
Yun Qingqing's nourishing formation had just come to an end, and the light flowing around her body gradually dissipated.
She first took the jade box and the ice crystal bottle, nodded after carefully checking them, and finally her eyes fell on the rosewood box. She opened the lid and an ebony tablet came into view.
Yun Qingqing suddenly frowned.
"Wait a minute." Her eyes lit up and she scanned the people present. "There's something wrong with this tablet."
"What!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Xuanyuan Zhao was stunned: "What does Pavilion Master Yun mean? We just took the tablet of the great ancestor from the ancestral hall, how could there be a problem?"
Yun Qingqing did not answer, but took out the tablet and held it in her hand.
On the front of the tablet, there were a few gilded seal characters engraved with "The Throne of the Xuanyuan Clan, the Great Ancestor of the Ji Clan".
She turned the tablet over to reveal the bottom. White light flashed from her fingertips as she lightly tapped the center. A tiny formation flashed across the bottom of the tablet, and a square shape suddenly appeared on the originally flat surface.
Xuanyuan Song and Xuanyuan Zhao were the closest, their eyes widened:
"This is……"
"Is it a secret compartment? I've never heard of it before... There is a secret compartment on the tablet of the great ancestor..."
Yun Qingqing opened the secret compartment and saw a circular groove inside.
There is nothing else except this groove.
"This..." Xuanyuan Song opened his mouth and looked at Yun Qingqing in shock, "Pavilion Master is saying that there should be something in here?"
"That's right." Yun Qingqing's fingertips gently stroked the groove, and her voice was slightly deep, "There should be a soul jade here. It is the key to repairing the spirit core of this small world."
Xuanyuan Song's face suddenly changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "How is this possible... The ancestral hall of my Xuanyuan clan has always been strictly guarded, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to approach the clan land. How could the tablets..."
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"That's right, outsiders cannot approach your ancestral hall, so it is obvious... this was done by an insider!"
Her words were like thunder, causing a commotion among the people present.
"An insider?! This, this can't be..."
"The tablet of Taizu has been tampered with?"
"The ancestral hall is protected by seven levels of prohibitions..."
"Would anyone really do such a thing? What's the purpose?"
"I don't think so... She's so sure, there must be evidence..."
"Silence!" Xuanyuan Song felt so overwhelmed that he shouted loudly, making the ears of the disciples present buzz. Finally, they quieted down.
"Zhao'er!" Xuanyuan Song looked at his closed disciple and asked solemnly, "How did you take out the tablet? Did it ever leave your sight?"
Xuanyuan Zhao took a step forward, his voice tense:
"Master, the three of us took this tablet out of the ancestral hall together. It has never left my sight since I took it out. There is no way that something went wrong during this period!"
"That's right!" Xuanyuan Sheng hastily agreed, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, "Could it be... that this tablet was originally empty? After all, none of us has ever seen what's inside..."
"I can also testify that the three of us have been acting together, and there was a guard on duty at the ancestral hall watching us at the time. If you don't believe me, you can call the guard over for questioning." Xuanyuan Yu said softly.
Xuanyuan Song's expression became more and more solemn, and he looked at Yun Qingqing in a state of bewilderment:
"If we can't find the Soul Jade...is there any other way to repair the Soul Core?"
It’s not that he doesn’t care about the theft of the soul jade of Taizu’s tablet, but the most important thing right now is to repair the small world, otherwise there will be even greater trouble.
Yun Qingqing held the tablet in her hand and said calmly:
"Don't think too much. I've made it very clear just now. The Soul Jade was taken away by a traitor in your clan, and..."
She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at someone's waist and said:
"I have found it. It is inside this man's Qiankun bag."
