They knew early on that the one who could borrow the Heavenly Fire must not be a mortal, but a great power in the world. It was not surprising for a master of the Void Sect and two kings of one world. Yuan Chen could not have traveled thousands of miles to the outside world to kill people, the Demon King and the Ghost King...
But what shocked them the most was not the identities of the three people who borrowed the sky fire, but Xiao Li! If Xiao Li was the ghost king Xiao Lijun, then he was very close to them! They only guessed that Xiao Li was a ghost cultivator, but they didn't expect that he was the king of the ghost world!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, immediately asked, "Has the Ghost King also come to the Void Realm?"
Yuan Chen Du Ren said, "Indeed. He arrived here before you and has already left."
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen gasped. Xiao Li is really the Ghost King!
Yi Xichen asked anxiously: "What is he doing here?!"
He was anxious, so his tone was a little aggressive and disrespectful. The little Taoist boy glared at him unhappily, but Yuan Chendu was very generous and didn't mind at all. He said gently: "I don't know either. He came just now and said that he wanted to ask me something, but then he said there was no need to ask, and he just came to visit an old friend. He wanted to invite me for a cup of tea, but unfortunately I had to rebuild my golden body and couldn't do it, so he left. If I had known about your situation earlier, I would have kept him and let you ask him in person."
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun looked at each other.
Yi Xichen said: "Where...did he go? Did he go back to the Void Sea?" He wondered if he would still have time if he hurried to chase him.
Yuan Chen Du Ren said: "Master once set up a teleportation formation here. Whenever the Void Sea becomes weak, the spiritual energy in the Void Realm is strong and can break through the restrictions of the Void Sea. People in the Void Realm can use the formation to leave. Unfortunately, this formation can only teleport one way. There is no such spiritual energy outside the realm, so several friends had to pass through the Void Sea to enter."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen were quite upset. Xiao Lijun had already left the Void Sea, and the world was so vast that it would probably take some time to find him again.
Yi Xichen said, "Master... I would like to ask you a question. Who do you think the person who killed my parents and master... the demon king and the ghost king?"
Strictly speaking, since both the Demon King and the Ghost King had asked the Fire Cloud Patriarch, they could be considered Fire Cloud Patriarch's disciples, and could be considered fellow apprentices with Yuan Chen Du Ren. Hearing what Yuan Chen Du Ren had just said, Xiao Li Jun even invited him to drink tea, which showed that the two of them at least had a relationship. As for whether Yuan Chen Du Ren was biased, Yi Xichen was not worried. A powerful person like him had a very broad mind, and if he was biased, he could have just not told Xiao Li Jun and Long Rui Jun.
The voice answered them after a while: "Thank you for trusting me. Xiao Lijun and Long Ruijun were both taught by my master. They are not evil people, otherwise my master would not have associated with them. However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and things in the world are unpredictable. Even if they are not evil, they may not do evil things. They are all greedy and blinded by desire. Even me, the three of us, may not be free of suspicion. I know you want an answer, but I don't know the whole story of your case, so I can't blame you rashly."
Yi Xichen was silent. He originally came to the Void Realm, and he didn't expect the Void Sect Master to tell him who his enemy was right away, but just wanted to know where he should go to find his enemy. Now the Void Sect Master gave him three names, and he should be very close to the truth, but just now the murderer might have been only one step away from him, but he missed it, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. In addition, the person who attacked him in the Black Mist Forest was most likely Xiao Lijun, which made him feel that this Xiao Lijun was extremely suspicious.
There was silence in the Taoist temple.
They had already asked the questions they wanted to ask at first. Yi Xichen tried desperately to recall whether there were any details that he had missed, or whether he could learn more from Yuan Chen's help. After all, it was not easy to come to the Void World once. Once you leave this place, you will have to wait ten years to come back next time.
But Yuan Chendu suddenly asked, "Have you ever been burned by heavenly fire?"
Yi Xichen frowned, touched the red mark on his finger, recalled the past, and said in a hushed voice: "When my parents were murdered, I was also by their side. I wanted to save them..."
Yuan Chendu said, "The sky fire is dangerous. Your soul is damaged."
"What?!" The eldest grandson, Zijun, was shocked and suddenly looked up at the body on the cushion. "Don't worry." Yuan Chendu said, "There is a magic weapon in your body. Your soul is attached to it. It protected your soul in the sky fire, but it probably also sealed your cultivation. Your soul has been nurtured in it over the years, and it has almost recovered."
Yi Xichen was stunned. He himself didn't know what magic weapon was hidden in his body to protect his soul? Where did that magic weapon come from? What was it?
Yi Xichen asked: "What magic weapon?"
Yuan Chen Du Ren asked curiously, "You don't know it yourself? Then how did it enter your body?"
"Disciple does not know..."
"I don't know. It's wrapped in your soul, so I can't see it. If I force it to touch, I'm afraid I'll damage your soul."
Yi Xichen was confused. So when they were in the Black Mist Forest, was the thing Xiao Lijun wanted to take away the magic weapon in his body?
Yi Xichen asked: "Can that thing... be taken out?"
Yuan Chen Du said, "Your soul is still inside. It is fused with it and difficult to separate. If you take it out by force, it will damage your soul. That thing is probably more precious than natural treasures, but even if you take it out, your remaining soul cannot be completely removed, so I don't think others can use it."
"Ah... can't others use it?" Yi Xichen frowned thoughtfully. It seemed that Xiao Lijun didn't know about this, so he wanted to snatch the magic weapon. But he didn't snatch it later. Did he notice it?
Yi Xichen asked: "Then how can others use it?"
Yuan Chen Du Ren asked curiously: "My friend, since the magic weapon is already embedded in your body, do you want to take it out and give it to others? But you should know that even if you can pull your soul out of it, it will only make it easier for others. It is already a part of your body. As long as you take it out, your life will be in danger."
Yi Xichen said: "Is that so... Then it seems that I can't live without it. But I still want to know how others can use it? In fact, I just want to know how people who covet it will use to harm me. So that I can take precautions early."
Yuan Chen Du Ren said: "That's right. When you were burned by the heavenly fire, the magic weapon sealed your soul in it to protect you. If you want to pull your soul out, you have to unseal it. Do you know the method of refining the body?"
"I have heard of this."
"That's good. The body refining technique requires natural treasures of the five elements to be hammered together to open up all 365 meridians in your body. This technique should be able to unlock the seal in your body and separate your soul from the magic weapon."
"After the separation, will the disciple suffer any harm?"
"No, it won't. Since your soul has been nurtured by it, it doesn't matter if they are separated. Also, when I first saw you, I thought you were a fake spiritual root, but after testing you just now, I found that your aptitude is not that good. I think it's because of it. If the seal can be removed, your cultivation will be smoother. Its existence is like an inner elixir to you. It saves you the effort of forming an elixir. One day when your cultivation level is improved, you will not encounter any bottlenecks and can smoothly transform it into your golden elixir."
Yuan Chen Du Ren paused and said, "But, if someone covets this magic weapon, I advise you not to unseal it. Your soul stays in it, and others can't use it, so they won't act rashly."
Yi Xichen gritted his teeth. As expected, he had never been able to cultivate properly because of this seal in his body. This inexplicable magic weapon had both advantages and disadvantages for him. If it weren't for this magic weapon, he and his parents would have been burned to death by the skyfire; but because of this magic weapon, he became like a waste and could only live under the protection of others.
After a while, he glanced at his eldest grandson Jun. Jun had a thoughtful look on his face, and when he noticed his gaze, he also looked back at him blankly.
Yi Xichen struggled for a moment and asked, "Sect Master, is there any other way to unlock this seal?"
A look of surprise flashed across the face of the eldest grandson Zijun. He understood why Yi Xichen asked this question, because he once said that during his demonic barrier, he used the Tianyuan power in his body to fight Yi Xichen for three hundred rounds, and the seal was released.
Yuan Chen said, "This body refining technique is equivalent to reshaping from within, so it can unlock many seals, and it should also be effective for you. But if you want to talk about other methods... After all, I don't know what the magic weapon in your body is. If I knew, there should be other methods, and I would just treat the symptoms. My friend, do you really want to unlock this seal?"
Yi Xichen said nothing. There were many chaotic thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't express them clearly for a while. But he didn't want to be so weak forever. He hoped that he would have the ability to protect the people he loved.
Just then, they noticed someone approaching from outside.
The little Taoist boy hurried out to greet him.
After a moment, Yuan Chendu said, "Bring them in."
The Taoist boy led people in, and they turned out to be Master Hong Yi and his apprentice Gao Tianzhu. However, Gao Tianzhu did not walk in by himself, but was carried in by Master Hong Yi. He fainted.
When Master Hong Yi saw that his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen had arrived earlier, he was slightly surprised and bowed to Yuan Chendu and said, "Master."
Yuan Chendu asked, "Master Hong Yi is here, I wonder what advice you have for me?"
Master Hong Yi said, "Master, can you please accept me as your disciple and let me cultivate here?"
After a while, Yuan Chen said, "His spiritual roots are not getting better."
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen looked at each other. Gao Tianzhu's spiritual roots had indeed changed for the worse, and he was still in the fusion stage. This was really unfortunate.
Master Hong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Please help me, Master. Maybe if he stays here, he will still have a chance to achieve Dan."
Yuan Chen Du Ren remained silent. It seemed that this request made him feel a little embarrassed. It was so difficult to form a golden elixir. Even if Gao Tianzhu originally had a single spiritual root, he might not be able to form an elixir. What's more, his spiritual root had changed. If it became a mixed spiritual root or a fake spiritual root, it would be really difficult for him.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen exchanged glances. They had also asked about the skyfire and understood the seal more clearly. Their purpose of coming to the Void Realm had been achieved. Although there was a magic circle in the Void Realm that could transmit to the outside, it was also time-limited. At present, the power of the Void Sea was weak, so the magic circle could only transmit to the outside. After this period of time, the thunderstorm of the Void Sea would be extremely strong, and the magic circle would not be able to send them away.
So the two of them stood up and said, "Master, I will take my leave first."
Yuan Chendu used his spiritual power to set up a barrier so that only Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun could hear what he said, so as to prevent others from hearing what they were unwilling to reveal. He said, "Are you two eager to seek revenge? To be honest, no matter whether it is Lord Xiaoli or Lord Longrui, with your current cultivation level, you can't do anything to them. It's better for you to stay with me and cultivate for a few decades. It won't be too late to leave after your cultivation level has improved. After all, my master is also responsible for your misfortune."
The eldest grandson Zijun shook his head slightly, and Yi Xichen also said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master." This meant he was refusing.
As long as Yi Xichen's seal was not broken, he would stay here for decades or hundreds of years, and how much benefit could he gain? By then, the outside world would have changed, and perhaps the clues he had finally grasped would be gone.
Seeing that he could not stop persuading them, Yuan Chendu sighed and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, everything is destined and cannot be forced. Little boy, take them out."
The spiritual barrier was opened, and they saluted Yuan Chendu again, said goodbye to Master Hong Yi, and then followed the little Taoist boy who led them in out of the Taoist temple.
The Taoist boy said, "You two stay here for a while. I will lead you to the transmission array."
He walked away for a while, then came back, holding a Qiankun bag in his hand, and handed it to Yi Xichen: "This is a small gift from the sect master to you two."
Yi Xichen thanked him quickly.
The Taoist boy led them into the forest, and sure enough, there was a teleporting magic circle.
"You guys go."
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun bowed to him and said, "Senior brother, we'll see you again if we're lucky." Then they stepped into the teleportation array without looking back and left the Void Realm.
