　　Hearing this, Tang Wanli smiled bitterly and said, “Indeed, a sacred artifact is a great temptation for you, but as for you, the Nether Lamp is useless in your hands. Even if it fell into the hands of other Sages, it would just be a worthless item.”
　　Seeing the puzzled look on Ye Wushuang’s face, Tang Wanli patiently explained, “This Nether Lamp has been refined and tempered with the lifeblood of my Tang family’s ancestors through generations. Without the bloodline of our Tang clan, it’s impossible to activate it！”
　　Similar to the Green Sun Sacred Sky Sword that Tao Qingyang entrusted to him！
　　Tang Wanli continued, “I’m not asking for your help without offering anything in return.”
　　”Among the three bamboo huts behind me, the one in the middle houses the Nether Lamp. The left hut contains some items I left behind when I still had a clear mind—pills, weapons, and the like—all of great use to you, enough to help you reach the Sage Heaven Realm.”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at the three bamboo huts and asked, “Then what about the hut on the right？”
　　”That place…”
　　Tang Wanli sighed and couldn’t help saying： “It’s a strange beast I discovered back then in this void land, but that beast couldn’t communicate and only knew killing, so I sealed it away. After so many years, that beast is probably dead by now.”
　　Ye　Wushuang　nodded.
　　”Senior… could you open the room for me to take a look？”
　　Hearing this, Tang Wanli was stunned, then couldn’t help but smile wryly： “You young man, quite cautious indeed.”
　　”When traveling outside, it’s always better to be careful！”
　　”Hehe…”
　　Tang Wanli chuckled and said： “If you don’t trust me, so be it. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t. This body of mine has long decayed, and this lingering wisp of soul is barely maintaining this form.”
　　”I’d like to move, but the moment I do, my soul would scatter immediately, becoming the corpse you see…”
　　”If you don’t trust me, you can first check the room on the left. If anything seems off, you’re free to leave this place.”
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang immediately smiled and said： “Alright！”
　　Unexpectedly, Ye Wushuang agreed so readily, which also left Tang Wanli stunned.
　　Ye Wushuang walked past Tang Wanli and came to the front of the left bamboo hut.
　　Gently pushing open the bamboo door, a musty, long-sealed scent rushed toward him.
　　No danger at all！
　　Ye Wushuang stepped into the room and immediately sensed a desolate aura spreading.
　　The bamboo hut was simply decorated, with two long tables on either side, each covered with boxes.
　　Opening these boxes, Ye Wushuang carefully examined them one by one.
　　”Spiritual artifacts…”
　　On the left table, there were elongated wooden boxes, each containing one spiritual artifact after another.
　　Swords, spears, blades, halberds—each was unique, totaling over a dozen.
　　”Hmm？”
　　When Ye Wushuang opened a narrow box, his gaze sharpened.
　　It was a sword case, inside which lay a long sword measuring three feet seven inches, its body shimmering with faint purple and cyan hues, accompanied by the faint rumble of thunder.
　　At the lower corner of the sword case, bold characters were inscribed： ‘Purple Lightning Cyan Thunder Sword, a Saint-grade spiritual artifact.’
　　A　fine　sword！
　　The previous weapons hadn’t drawn much of Ye Wushuang’s attention, but this sword was entirely different.
　　The flow of power along the blade was exceptionally smooth, and the radiance it carried was strikingly clear and bright.
　　The forging of this sword and the choice of materials for its blade were extraordinary—far beyond what an ordinary artificer could craft！
　　Ye Wushuang directly stored the Purple Lightning Cyan Thunder Sword into the second layer of the Nine-Layered Divine Suppression Tower.
　　Ye Wushuang discovered that as the Nine-Layered Divine Tower merged with him, the second layer was filled with swirling sword energies. The sole divine sword, the Nine Origins Void Sword, possessed self-awareness and did not reject Ye Wushuang.
　　Previously, when not using the Sacred Heaven Sword, Ye Wushuang stored it here. Day and night, the Sacred Heaven Sword was refined by the Nine Origins Void Sword, becoming highly spiritual.
　　Some time ago, he placed the skeletal Holy Sword, the White Bone Sword, inside, and it too gradually revealed its agility and extraordinariness.
　　The Nine Origins Void Sword could help him purify these swords.
　　This Purple Lightning Green Thunder Sword would be usable once he reached the Sacred Heaven Realm. For now, nurturing it was a good idea！
　　Apart from these dozen or so spirit weapons, there were also various bottles and jars.
　　Ye Wushuang also examined them carefully.
　　”Blazing Sun Mystic Pill… can expand meridians by burning them, enhancing their strength to accommodate more spiritual energy…”
　　”White Jade Crimson Sun Pill, capable of dispelling Yin-cold energy and Yin-cold toxins…”
　　Ye Wushuang read the explanations on each bottle and jar, gradually feeling relieved.
　　The dozen or so pills here were all genuinely rare and precious treasures！
　　Soon, Ye Wushuang emerged from the bamboo hut on the left.
　　”How　was　it？”
　　Tang Wanli chuckled and said, “There’s no need for me to deceive you. After all, I’m already a dead man. Lying to you would bring me no benefit.”
　　Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “It was this junior who measured the gentleman’s heart with a petty mind. Please do not take offense, senior.”
　　”Young man, it’s only right to be cautious. After all, the world of martial artists is always full of deceit and treachery！”
　　Ye Wushuang nodded and then asked, “How can the Nether Lamp be obtained？”
　　Tang Wanli said, “The Nether Lamp can capture the souls of dying saints, release its lamp light, and possesses formidable killing power.”
　　”At the same time, if a wounded martial artist suffers damage to their soul or consciousness, this lamp can also be used for healing.”
　　Ye Wushuang exclaimed in surprise, “It can both attack and heal！”
　　”Exactly！”
　　”Truly a miraculous sacred artifact！”
　　Tang Wanli continued, “You need not worry. As long as you use your essence blood as a guide, you can activate the seal I left behind and then collect the Nether Lamp. In the future, when you meet descendants of the Tang family in the Northern Hidden Domain, just hand the Nether Lamp to them！”
　　Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “No problem.”
　　As he spoke, Ye Wushuang walked toward the central bamboo hut.
　　Tang Wanli remained seated by the stone table, unmoving.
　　Upon reaching the door of the central bamboo hut, Ye Wushuang suddenly paused in his steps.
　　”What’s wrong？” Tang Wanli asked with a smile.
　　”Senior…”
　　Ye Wushuang said with a silly smile： “I want to take a look at that exotic beast you mentioned first, to see what it really looks like. Since it’s already sealed by you and long dead, there’s no harm in me taking a peek, right？”
　　As Ye Wushuang spoke, he was already heading towards the bamboo hut on the right.
　　”No！”
　　Suddenly, Tang Wanli’s voice turned sharp as he leaped into the air, instantly appearing in front of Ye Wushuang to block his path. He said urgently, “That exotic beast is highly poisonous. Even dead, its toxins linger. You won’t be able to handle it—don’t bring trouble upon yourself.”
　　Ye Wushuang, however, replied, “No need to worry, senior. I once had a Golden Silkworm Gu that evolved into a Golden-Winged Spirit Falcon, immune to all toxins！”
　　”No！”
　　Tang Wanli repeated, “Ye Wushuang, you’re only at the Star-Picking Realm, while that exotic beast was at the Sage Heaven Realm level…”
　　”Oh？”
　　Ye Wushuang smiled faintly, and suddenly, the Sage Heaven Sword appeared in his hand.
　　”Falling Thunder Heaven Sword Art！”
　　”Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Seal Slash！”
　　Amidst the rolling thunder, Ye Wushuang thrust his sword directly at Tang Wanli.
