Chapter 238: The Immortal’s Cave

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before they left the Wen family village, Chang Li took a few days to use her strong and vigorous demonic primordial energy and help Second Elder Wen, Third Elder Wen, as well as the Bushuo and Buzuo siblings to remold their meridians. The decade’s worth of laborious cultivation of these four Wen family’s good hands could be considered wasted but now that they have received Chang Li’s demonic primordial energy, their combat capabilities had not deteriorated at all but were instead enhanced.

They still possess the physique of a regular person but after their meridians had been remolded, it was natural that they would not have attained the peak level of cultivation like Qin Zhui. However, they could use the demonic primordial energy’s meridians to drive the Faulty Punch so their actual power was no less inferior than the ordinary master cultivators in the Five Blessings.

Chang Li also left behind a cultivation method to the four of them that was certainly futile if they wanted to use the cultivation to ascend into the heavens as an immortal. After all, even Chang Li was still a small demon. However, if they were to continue their cultivation according to this method, they could cultivate a few supernatural powers and could very possibly become admirable in the cultivation world.

Right now, in the Wen family village, the two silly uncles Wen Nine and Wen Thirteen’s combined power of attack was almost on par with the small demon rabbit Shan Duan’s power. Mumu and little Chi Maojiu’s actual power was a grade higher than Third Brother Wei from the One Word Palace and Ma Heshui’s lineage. The remaining four which was comprised of Second Elder Wen, Third Elder Wen, Wen Bushuo, and Wen Buzuo were no less inferior to master cultivators of Qing Niao and San Tong’s level. They could easily deal with ordinary enemies but they were also coordinating their efforts with the Great Mercy Temple that was also located in the same Shu state. Essentially, as long as Xiang Liu does not make an appearance personally, no one else would be capable of being a real threat to them anymore.

It had taken ‘You’ve Got Me’ around ten days to successfully conquer the ‘Sword’s Resolve’ Firetail. Its initially fiery-red body was now so vivid that it looked like the bug would catch fire at any moment. It also appeared to be fatter than before. ‘You’ve Got Me’ was now filled with an awe-inspiring manner, when it shook its head and wagged its tail, a layer of fiery halo would ripple in the air. However, despite how much effort the bug had exerted, the giant sword Molten Metal Fire Bell which had been left on the highland’s Snowy Peak earlier had not responded to its summons.

Wen Leyang frowned in slight puzzlement as he asked Guo Huan, “Is the sword too far away?

Guo Huan cursed uncourteously, “Bullsh*t!” He was about to continue his scolding when Chang Li abruptly arrived out of nowhere. She then glared at the jade knife as she enunciated her words clearly, “Only the family elders and I have the right to scold Wen Leyang!”

Guo Huan laughed angrily and Wen Leyang too laughed before he hastily refocused the topic of conversation. These two old demons too could not figure out why ‘You’ve Got Me’ could not summon the giant sword even though it had absorbed the soul power from the Sword’s Resolve. They debated for a long while and the only explanation they could come up with was that the power of the Sword’s Resolve was too pure and strong so ‘You’ve Got Me’ still needed more time to digest it...

There was nothing else left to prepare. Chang Li, Wen Leyang, Xiaowu, Wen Shulin as well as the jade knife Guo Huan then left the Wen family village and departed for Mount Hua once again. Before they descended the mountain, First Elder Wen advised and reminded them over and over again that Wen Leyang must certainly rush back to the village before the fourth lunar month for the second wedding date was still on the tenth day of the fourth lunar month. Any delays meant that it would not be an auspicious day anymore. Chang Li gritted her teeth and swore by the heavens that she would never hold Wen Leyang up, no matter what.

This small group of people, other than Wen Shulin, were all elites. Even if they were to really bump into Tian Yin, it was highly possible that they could manage to escape. Chang Li, especially, does not need to worry about Tian Yin at all. She smiled as she explained it to Wen Leyang during the journey, “When I had crushed the Heaven’s Cone Nail in the past, the three of them, Tian Yin, Tian Shu, and Tian Hua had joined hands and they were still not on par with me. If it had not been for Guo Huan who had created trouble there, how could I ever allow your Grand Master to attack...”

Guo Huan exclaimed in outrage, it was feeling quite affronted.

Wen Leyang laughed as he nodded. He understood Chang Li’s explanation as the cultivation base of the three sword immortals on the Black and White Island was on the same gradation as Chang Li’s. Even for the giant pangolin who was ranked closely behind them right now, when he was compared to the sword immortals and Chang Li’s grade of cultivation, it was akin to the difference between some little white mice and humans.

However, judging from the humans, a strong and burly man who was fighting against three skinny and weak ordinary person would not necessarily lose.

The difference between Chang Li and the three sword immortals Tian Shu, Tian Hua, and Tian Yin was equal to the strongly burly man and the skinny and weak ordinary persons.

Chang Li continued to laugh as she spoke, “If I were to go up against Tian Yin right now, my actual power is not the problem, the most troublesome part is the true soul which has possessed Tian Yin. He will have the ability to possess others as well and there’s no way we can refine him right now.”

Wen Leyang continued to nod. He was still slightly confused when Guo Huan, who had pondered on that and understood the situation, chuckled and spoke, “The troublesome part is that the true soul is unwilling to leave Tian Yin’s dharma body as well. Xiang Liu’s true soul had refined for two thousand years before he could completely occupy that dharma body with the ultimate cultivation base! To Xiang Liu, the biggest disadvantage of Tian Yin’s dharma body is that he can never destroy the prohibition spells on the Black and White Island. Even so, unless it was his last resort, the true soul would never possess another person. It is meaningless for him to possess a person with poor cultivation power while if he were to possess someone with strong cultivation powers, the top master cultivators like Chang Li, Zhui Zi or Hanba... Or myself, whose primordial spirit is vigorous and firm to the greatest extent, it would be an easy process for the true soul to possess the body. However, in order to exercise complete control of the entire body, it would at least take him a thousand and eight hundred years’ time!”

Chang Li chuckled as she nodded, “That’s right! In simpler words, it is the situation where both sides are unwell now. We dare not attack Tian Yin as hard as we can and the true soul is even more unwilling to spend another thousand years to occupy a new body once again. Therefore, if we were to truly meet that bugger on our journey, we need not worry too much. We shall be able to escape as he would not be daring enough to push us too far. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial for the two parties when both sides suffer losses. We would only need to careful not to fall into his schemes.”

It was not a difficult theory to understand. It was only the fact that Xiang Liu’s presence gave too much psychological stress to Wen Leyang and he had unknowingly placed Xiang Liu as an almost undefeatable foe in his mind. In simpler words, Wen Leyang was still willing to risk his life but the attitude he had in his heart was to only do his best and leave the rest to God’s will.

Chang Li seemed to recall something once again and she beamed with joy as she spoke to the jade knife, “If only I could lure Tian Yin to the ore cave’s ‘Thirteen Shall Not Pass’ prohibition spell then all will be well! We can kill two birds with one stone! That body of his is much better than your split body by a hundred folds!”

Wen Leyang too laughed along with her though this idea of hers would only stay in her imagination, there was almost no possibility that it could be realized. Even if they managed to capture Tian Yin, the true soul could still spontaneously explode his own dharma body then seek another person to possess. When faced with the matter of life and death, no matter how unwilling the true soul was, he would still abandon and destroy Tian Yin’s body without hesitation.

Xiaowu did not understand the conversation and had been engrossed in chewing the chewing gum that Wen Leyang had just bought for her. When the chewing gum lost its flavor, she swallowed it before she put a new piece into her mouth...

After Wen Shulin had lost his nose, he looked much younger than before. He listened to the group’s discussion and revealed a mouthful of black and yellow teeth as he reminded them cautiously, “As you are bringing me along this time, I’m afraid that Xiang Liu will fight all of you violently the moment he sees all of you!”

Guo Hua would see the light of the day once again soon so he was in a good mood as he laughed and continued Wen Shulin’s topic of conversation, “Xiang Liu doesn’t know that you are with us now and no one aside from us knows about our whereabouts. The trip to Mount Hua is more about looking for my split body so there ought to be not too much danger in that.”

Wen Leyang scoffed at that, ever since he had cultivated Wen Lazi’s domineering cultivation method, he had left the mountain on many occasions to handle other matters. More than half of his missions had seemed harmless in the beginning; he was either being protected and escorted by other master cultivators or the enemy’s actual power had seemed to be pretty ordinary at first. However, every one of those missions had turned out to become life and death situations. Wen Leyang could not help but touch his head when he recalled those moments, he was amazed that his head had been tough enough to survive all those incidents!

This was especially true during his last trip to the Snowy Peak, the surviving warriors of the small town, the Qilian Immortal Sect, the Heavenly Walker lama, the monstrous monkey... until even Xiang Liu’s true soul had appeared in the end. Wen Leyang could still feel a lingering fear when he thought about the past now and he could not really comprehend how he had managed to survive those ordeals.

Just as he was talking about the Snowy Peak’s trip, Wen Leyang suddenly recalled the matter of Zhui Zi’s memories being sealed. He frowned as he asked Chang Li, “If the cultivators from the demon sect are capable of tampering with other people’s memories, can you help Zhui Zi to break the seal on her memories?”

Chang Li shook her head in determination, “I can’t be bothered, let her figure that out by herself until she is troubled and bored to death!”

Wen Leyang was astonished and his mouth was agape as he did not know what else to say. After a while, he asked shyly, “If you are able to help... Then it’s best to help a little...” In Wen Leyang’s perception, Chang Li and Zhui Zi were really enemies but the person who had always suffered the loss was Zhui Zi.

Guo Huan laughed in the jade knife, “Zhui Zi’s primordial soul had been stripped away in her past life by someone and refined into the Ice Cone Nail. That person had used the Art of Soul, which was a magical art, to strip her primordial spirit and seal her memories. While this demonic lady here is an expert in charming the soul and is also inherently good at tampering with others’ memories, it’s an entirely different matter when it comes to the Art of Soul.” He then paused for a moment, “In Zhui Zi’s attempt to recover her past memories, she can either depend on the power of the Heavenly Water Spirit to break through the seal herself or to locate the person who had cast the spell to solve her problem. Chang Li would be completely of no help to her.”

Even though he does not understand the principles amongst these magic arts, it did not stop Wen Leyang from understanding that for the matter of recovering Zhui Zi’s memories, the demon sect’s Art of Charm was completely helpless in this situation. He then laughed and spoke to Chang Li who was still gritting her teeth in rage beside him, “It’s not that you can’t be bothered, it’s something that you can’t bother instead!”

Chang Li pursed her mischievous lips and made an expression to show her disdain, “Whether this can be bothered or not, I can’t be bothered!” Upon saying that, she pondered for a moment before she emphasized, “This is the issue of my attitude!”

Wen Leyang laughed. Since Chang Li would be of no help to Zhui Zi, he was too lazy to be concerned whether this was an issue of attitude or capability...

With the speed of modern transportation vehicles, Wen Leyang’s group had not expended too much time to travel from Sichuan to Mount Hua. When they arrived, Wen Leyang called the Wen family to inform them that they had arrived safely. He then carried the noseless man on his back as he exerted his strength and ran behind Chang Li. He swept into the huge mountain like the wind and while Xiaowu could actually catch up to Wen Leyang’s speed by herself, the little girl was playing the scoundrel and refused to run by herself so she had jumped into Wen Leyang’s arms...

Mount Hua was different from the vast and extensiveness of the Tanggula Mountains, the indivisible perfection of Mount Emei, and the desolated and unsophisticated Qilian Mountains. Mount Hua looked down on the entire world with its dangerously steep terrains; whether it was a lone mountain peak or a stretch of rolling and connected hills, there was the inherent sense of sharpness everywhere. When seen from afar, one could feel that those mountain peaks would really pierce into one’s eyes. As Wen Leyang was dashing wildly through the mountains, he suddenly felt like he was dancing on the cutting edge of a sword.

The three families of the Wen, Miao, and Luo made their homes on great mountains and while these mountains were also sharply defined, they lacked a sense of grace which was present in Mount Hua. The Nine Peaks Mountains, the Seven Maidens Mountain, and Crow Ridge resembled poignant short knives while Mount Hua was akin to a piercing cold longsword which had once existed in the hands of a rare nobleman. It was the heaven’s sword that executed demons!

Ever since they have entered Mount Hua, Guo Huan has become even more anxious. He no longer cared if someone interrupted his conversation as he talked continuously all the way. He was especially hung up about how he had crushed the Heaven’s Cone Nail with Chang Li and repeated that story countless times.

Wen Leyang smiled manically along the way and Chang Li too showed some rare patience. Not only did she complain about her annoyance with Guo Huan, she would occasionally laugh and chime in to his conversation as well. The few of them dashed through the mountain for more than a half a day before Chang Li suddenly interrupted Guo Huan’s conversation, “Hey, mountain ghost, let me ask you this. If you were to regain your dharma body, will you be seeking revenge on me?”

Guo Huan immediately answered, “Of course I won’t!”

Chang Li did not speak but she used her huge eyes to give the jade knife an evil glare...

After a while, Guo Huan sniggered, “The split body’s magical power won’t be adequate so I would need to recuperate for a while. Though I had been able to fight Tian Shu and Tian Hua from the past with effort and the addition of the Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake, I’m still far from being able to deal with you... If I still want to seek my revenge, perhaps I will discuss it later when the day that I can finally defeat you arrives!”

Chang Li suddenly stopped walking and she spoke with a stern expression, “I am helping you to find your dharma body and return your soul. The reason I’m doing this is because you have helped his disciples and disciple’s disciples time and again... If your soul was returned to your split body this time, I only want you to promise me that whether it was the great enmity of stealing your treasured weapon, breaking your cultivation base, or shattering your dharma body, I want you to hold only me accountable on all these!”

Guo Huan abruptly laughed loudly, his stiff voice shook everyone’s ears until their eardrums were buzzing, “Demon cat, that wishful thinking of yours is impressive. Even if I were to throw all the great enmity onto you, when I come to get my revenge, that Wen young lad and those from the Luo family, the Miao clansmen, and everyone else will jump out and risk their lives to fight me!”

Wen Leyang laughed as he nodded, though he did not speak.

Guo Huan continued to laugh, “I understand your intention, our debt of gratitude and revenge is a hideous mess. I’m too lazy to think about it. If the fancy takes me one day and I come to take my revenge on you, I will never make things difficult for those little brats so you need not worry about that!”

Chang Li laughed and the smile lines around her lips wiped away the huge mountain’s sword-like sharpness. She then pointed at a stretch of rolling hills that was neither too large nor too high, “We’re here. That stretch of grave mounds is the prohibition spell that you had laid down back in those days!”

Guo Huan was suddenly furious but before he could speak, Chang Li continued to laugh, “Congratulations to this old demon! This stretch of prohibition spell’s magic power still exists. It seems that your split body should still be in the Immortal’s Cave!” As she was saying that, she stretched out her delicate arms and wrapped them around Wen Leyang’s waist, “Young lad, no matter what we may meet later, you are not allowed to cultivate your power to resist. I want you to leave everything to me... You ought to just close your eyes!”

Xiaowu looked to the left then to the right before she crawled onto Chang Li’s back in a great bustle. She then wrapped her arms firmly around the demon cat’s neck, having chosen another form of transportation with an even higher safety margin. Soon after, she shut her eyes tightly.

Wen Leyang could only feel the grip on his waist tighten as a soft but irresistible force abruptly swept him off his feet. A stream of bitterly cold mountain wind followed Chang Li and surged towards the rolling hills in front of them. Before they entered the protective circle of prohibition spell, Wen Leyang could not tell that there was anything anomalous about the location. His water-like telegnosis ability was spread out and he could notice as the bald branches rustled and shook. In a nest that was exposed between the branches, two large magpies were squeezing and rubbing together intimately while a few ants on the tree bark were crawling about in boredom...

However, following Chang Li’s entrance, the sky and land changed its appearance suddenly. Wen Leyang could not tell if this was an illusion or a magic spell but he could only feel as the sky and earth spun around. The nearby hills were turned into raging wild beasts and within their thundering roars, the beasts pounced towards himself. At the same time, the magnificent and peculiar mountains from afar too seemed to have come to life. They were like arrogant giants as they turned around one after another and used its contemptuous gaze to look at the trespassers. Wen Leyang did not doubt at all that if these violent beastlike hills could not harm them, those huge mountains which have turned into giants would immediately swing their gigantic fists and pound them into a stretch of muddy flesh!

Chang Li’s movements were extremely swift and the sharp air hissed beside her and Wen Leyang’s bodies. Countless sharp weapons which were so fast that Wen Leyang could not even discern their shapes howled and appeared swiftly like the sharp claws of divine dragons. These weapons tore the hills that were attacking them into pieces!

Guo Huan exclaimed in astonishment and asked Chang Li, “Do you plan to fight your way in forcefully?”

Chang Li launched her supernatural power to break the prohibition spell as she answered, “I’m bringing along a group of burdensome brats so I can’t just run my way there! But the situation here time is so much better than the previous one without the disturbance of the Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake. Back then...” She was halfway through her speech when she suddenly shouted. Her hand shook once as a layer of black-colored knives surged and appeared in layers akin to giant trees that densely surrounded Chang Li, Wen Leyang and the rest. Soon after that, a sound that was loud enough to rouse the heavens echoed as the highest mountain peak nearby crashed into Chang Li’s supernatural power. The surge lasted for a long time before it gradually receded.

Guo Huan laughed in a heartless manner, “The power of the prohibition spell that I had laid down back in those days can still be considered rather remarkable!” He had episodic amnesia and could remember some of the events which had taken place in the past clearly but he could not remember the course of events which involved his Immortal’s Cave no matter how hard he tried.

Chang Li, on the other hand, suddenly exclaimed in surprise and spoke to Wen Leyang as she giggled, “We are out of our minds!” As she was saying that, she stretched out her hand and plucked the jade knife from below his neck. Wen Leyang soon discovered in astonishment that Chang Li had retracted her supernatural power. One of her hands was waving the jade knife while her other hand was wrapped around himself as she ran in quick strides towards the depths of the prohibition spell.

The hills were stacked up and the thundering sound was still echoing. Guo Huan had broken out in curses from being startled. Even the pitch of his voice had changed, sounding very bitter and forlorn...

However, the moment the overbearing power of the prohibition spell blasted onto the jade knife, it would disperse off quietly after a shake like a violent beast which had seen its master’s whip.

Chang Li cheered, “The prohibition spell that you had laid down recognizes your primordial spirit...” Upon saying that, she then complimented her effort, “A trial of chance, effective as expected!”

The moment Guo Huan heard that, he broke out into curses even more. He watched helplessly as the mountain peaks crashed towards his direction. Even though the prohibition spell would lose its power in a flash just as it was about to come into contact with him, it was still all very upsetting to Guo Huan.

Chang Li ignored Guo Huan’s squalls as she raised the jade knife high in the air and pulled Wen Leyang along, walking through the prohibition spell easily.

Wen Leyang felt his entire body lighten up as the deadly scene which had covered the sky and land earlier suddenly subsided. In its place was a proud and bold liveliness which enveloped everyone’s body all at once. Though they had only seen bare winter trees outside, the vision before their eyes was filled with boundless fresh greenery! Wen Shulin, who was lying on Wen Leyang’s back, back could not help but gasp softly and he trembled as he muttered to himself, “This... Is the Immortal’s Cave?”

Wen Leyang too peered at Chang Li with a gaze that was filled with uncertainty. The scene before his eyes was luxuriant and green, it was unlike the Immortal’s Cave of a demon but was apparently a large stretch of boundless forest.

Chang Li too had not expected this and was stunned for a moment. However, she soon reacted to the situation and laughed crisply, “We’re at the right place but no one has visited this place in over two thousand years so it’s overgrown with vegetation!” Upon saying that, she grabbed Wen Leyang, “You will understand more as we take a walk!”

Wen Leyang’s telegnosis ability was spread out in all directions. As he followed Chang Li and walked to the deep end, he soon discovered in surprise that this place had initially been an enormous palace which was so majestic that words could not do it justice! This was but an Immortal’s Cave that was as vast as the heavens and earth but it had been overgrown with a lush and boundless forest.

The Immortal’s Cave finally appeared at the edge of his telegnosis ability and immediately made Wen Leyang stare in bewilderment.

It was a vast and magnificent palace which has been enlarged by a million folds with a softly glimmering dome which was wider than the sky. A few white clouds floated beneath the dome and the palace was supported not by stone pillars, instead, it’s support was mountain peaks with the corners and edges polished off!

This was not a place for humans to live in. If one were to toss a football field into this area, it would only take up the space of half a tile. If a thirty meters long blue whale weighing two hundred tons were to enter the palace, it would instantly become an ant and it would not even be the kind of large ant with wings...

Wen Leyang witnessed everything before his eyes in surprise and made a clicking sound in his throat. He finally spat out a mouthful of air heavily after a long while, “This Immortal’s Cave... Is it really in Mount Hua?” The place here was truly too enormous, he felt as if he was having a nightmare as a child, dreaming that he was continuously growing smaller while everything in his surroundings was growing wildly.

Xiaowu’s telegnosis ability has seen the palace hidden underneath the forest as well, her voice quivered as she continued the topic of conversation, “This is impossible, even if you were to stuff the entire Mount Hua into this place, it would not even fill up half the space!” Wen Leyang inhaled the cold air as he nodded earnestly. Guo Huan’s Immortal’s Cave was not only enormous to its greatest extent, it was also magnificent to its greatest extent. It was richly ornamented with carved beams and painted rafters while simple and unsophisticated ancient scripts covered the area beneath their feet to the edge of their sight!

Chang Li was aware that these people had not experienced life before and she laughed as she explained, “This stretch of sky and land has been sealed by demonic power since back then. You can’t see or touch it from the outside but it does not mean that it is nonexistent! Before the mountain ghost had met with the accident, his actual power was still passable!” Upon saying that, she stretched out her hand and knocked onto the jade knife, “Guo Huan, after you have seen the light of the day once again, please help me to build an Immortal’s Cave too! Mountain ghosts and rock demons like you have some means of managing earth and wood!”

Wen Leyang’s expression was filled with uncertainty, “The Immortal’s Cave that is sealed by demonic power... Is capable of growing vegetation?”

Chang Li laughed as she answered, “The wood element dominates reproduction and penetrates every nook and corner, it’s tenacious albeit without steel. This is also the land of the wood spirit so it isn’t considered rare scene for grass and trees to break through and push into the Immortal’s Cave. Since his prohibition spell has sealed the palace from the outside world, this springtime in this place would last throughout the year. I will be surprised if it does not become a large forest!”

Guo Huan was also shocked by his own Immortal’s Cave. He had the impression that he had been a great demon which had walked alone in the past like a snow-cloaked man who would come and go like the wind. He did not expect that he was rather corrupted as well. He was suddenly jolted awake by Chang Li’s words and sniggered foolishly as he hastily responded hesitantly, “This is... Truly my Immortal’s Cave? However...”

Chang Li did not wait for him to finish talking as she directly spoke and continued the topic of conversation, “You need not ponder too much first, we shall look around before we discuss any further!” Upon saying that, she passed Xiaowu back to Wen Leyang and instructed him, “Stay in the same spot and wait for me!” Soon after that, her body swayed once and she disappeared from the edge of his sight at lightning-fast speed!

This Immortal’s Cave was too enormous and it was also covered in thick vegetation and plants. Chang Li had complained that Wen Leyang was too slow but she was also afraid that Guo Huan’s split body would still retain some remnant memories and it would cause harm. This was why she had refused to allow Wen Leyang to take part in the search for the split body.

Based on the detection of Wen Leyang’s telegnosis ability, he could not estimate the size of the palace at all. Chang Li had taken the jade knife with her and was gone for a long while before they returned. Wen Shulin was bored from waiting so he had run here and touched there before starting his calculations. He even laughed as he told Wen Leyang, “There’s an advantage to revealing my identity, at least I need not cover up secretively when I want to calculate!”

His technique was far more advanced than Wei Mo’s, he had brought along a notepad and a ballpoint pen with him while Wei Mo had just upgraded from using a charcoal strip to chalk.

It was only until two days later that Chang Li returned with an expression of uncertainty between her brows. Wen Leyang immediately welcomed her but Chang Li shook her head at him, “The split body... Isn’t here!”

Wen Leyang exclaimed in surprise and did not know what to say.

Xiaowu was behaving like a small adult as she frowned together with Chang Li, “Could it be that... The split body had left?”

Chang Li shook her head, “The mountain ghost has pledged in all sincerity that even though his split body had been fully refined, its primordial spirit had been shattered. It would be just like a fetus made from flesh, not knowing how to walk, move, or think...”

Wen Leyang was still unwilling to give up as he pointed towards the depth of the Immortal’s Cave, “Have you searched everywhere?”

Chang Li nodded, “I did not leave behind an inch of area unsearched. Large stretches of vines and branches had pushed into the mountain walls in the depths of the palace and covered a large surface area, I had swept past the entire area inch by inch but there was nothing there!”

Guo Huan, who had not spoken all along, suddenly heaved a sigh. His voice was dull as he laughed, “We can’t figure that out so forget about it, we can still go the ore cave on the Snowy Peak when all else fails!”

Chang Li pondered for a moment before she heaved a sigh gently at last, “Then I shall help you to look for a good body!” Following that, she frowned as she pondered for a moment before she asked probingly, “What do you think of the giant pangolin?”

Wen Leyang exclaimed as Zhui Zi had given the same idea to Guo Huan back then.

Chang Li’s eyes brightened once again and she became joyous all at once, she then raised the jade knife and asked, “On Eyang Mountain, there is still one more split body left behind by the Taoist priest San Wei. That body is not very different from your split body!”

Wen Leyang was startled once again. San Wei was an honest and upright person and he did not commit any major sins, if he was captured and destroyed, it did not make any sense. Even Guo Hua gave a forced laugh, “The monk and I had spent some time together in the jade knife, he was considered a friend to me anyhow... We shall keep him as a backup plan first!”
