Hearing the question, Ye Wushuang chuckled and said, “If we were to use conventional methods, it would take quite some time. However, I happen to have a spiritual treasure on hand!”
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang took out the Nine-Palace Map!
This Nine-Palace Map was a reward item from the Tianji Mansion when he participated in the Hundred Kingdoms Martial Gathering.
It was a King-grade spiritual instrument that could enhance one’s own strength by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.
Moreover, it could also be used to summon the Nine-Palace Formation, which could condense nine spiritual entities to fight.
These nine spiritual entities, though not as flexible and versatile as oneself, could still unleash a burst of power similar to one’s own.
Even with just this ability, the King-grade spiritual instrument was already formidable.
“Nine-Palace Map!”
Mu Zi Li exclaimed in astonishment, “Can this map find the Fire-Parting Lamp you mentioned?”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
“The strength of the Nine-Palace Map mainly lies in its ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, blending yin and yang into a unified force.”
“The Fire-Parting Lamp, being a fire essence, contains a powerful fiery energy that is consistent with the fiery energy in the sun’s rays.”
“Among all these Fire-Parting Lamps here, only one is real!”
With that, Ye Wushuang unfolded the Nine-Palace Map.
As the map unrolled, forming a nine-palace grid, beams of light immediately rose within the grid.
In the next moment, those beams of light shone upon the heads of the few people present.
Then, Ji Ou, Mu Zi Li, and the others saw threads of light containing an extremely pure energy!
This energy was neither spiritual energy nor life essence, and it was different from the aura of spiritual intelligence they had encountered earlier. It contained a very pure and intense heat.
It was quite magical!
Ye Wushuang, who had long integrated with the Nine-Palace Map, could clearly sense the origin of these threads of fiery energy.
“Come forth!”
His body suddenly levitated, and he clenched his hand.
A terrifying force erupted from his palm.
The power of myriad methods surged forth, augmented by a binding force.
In an instant, Ye Wushuang’s hand grasped one of the oil lamps hanging above!
Boom…
In the next moment, the third floor was filled with a thunderous roar.
Layers of fire waves descended from above, crashing onto the group.
Mu Zi Li and the others quickly retreated.
Ye Wushuang, however, summoned the Nine-Palace Map to protect himself, allowing the scorching fire waves to roll over him.
“You are not heavenly fire or earthly fire, but merely a fire essence!”
Ye Wushuang let out a cold snort. The Nine-Palace Map blazed with light, and nine figures of Ye Wushuang appeared.
These nine figures radiated a powerful aura, with a continuous outburst of binding force.
At this moment, Mu Zi Li and the others gradually saw that, including Ye Wushuang himself, ten Ye Wushuangs encircled and suppressed a single flame.
Upon closer inspection, the flame looked like the wick burning inside an oil lamp.
It emitted an extremely pure and intense fiery energy.
So this was the Fire-Parting Lamp Ye Wushuang had mentioned? A fire essence?
Ye Wushuang then put away the Nine-Palace Map, and the Fire-Parting Lamp, resembling a lamp wick, was directly absorbed into the map.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang slowly descended to the ground and let out a sigh of relief.
Heavenly麟Golden Stone!
Fire-Parting Lamp!
One belonged to metal, the other to fire!
Ye Wushuang’s curiosity about the mysteries of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates was growing stronger.
If these Heavenly麟Golden Stone and Fire-Parting Lamp were taken outside, they would surely drive those at the Myriad Methods and Reversion realms into a frenzy.
Such heavenly treasures with metallic and fiery attributes were extremely rare.
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but feel excited…
If he could gather all the treasures of the five elements and combine them with his cultivation of the Thunder Mansion, he would be able to endow his Myriad Methods power with the might of six attributes.
At that time, the potential that his Myriad Methods power could unleash would be truly terrifying.
Moreover, if he could indeed collect all the treasures of the five elements here, he even had a spiritual technique that he could cultivate.
“Let’s go to the fourth floor!”
Without lingering for long, Ye Wushuang led the group to the fourth floor.
They pushed open the door and entered.
The fourth floor appeared much smaller than the previous ones.
The entire fourth floor was surrounded by windows, and in the center of the fourth floor, there was only a pitch-black graphite box.
The graphite box was completely dark, a square of about ten feet on each side.
However, inside the box, there seemed to be some kind of peculiar fluctuation, connected to the entire pavilion and the space around it.
After arriving at this floor, everyone looked out the window.
The azure pillar still encircled the pavilion, and the blood-bone figures had not left, though their numbers seemed to have diminished.
The entire Tianlin Ancient City still occasionally echoed with heart-chilling screams.
Now, within the ancient city, blood-bone armies were everywhere. Without protection, death would be gruesome!
Not everyone could break through the barrier of the azure pillar and enter it for protection!
Many people could only hide in some ancient buildings, towers, or palaces within the city, hoping to escape the disaster.
At this moment, most people felt like they were experiencing a game of cat and mouse.
Except they were the mice.
And the blood-bone figures were the cats!
Listening to the occasional screams and wails around them, the faces of the Lingjian Mountain disciples all turned grim.
What would happen to them once the azure pillar was shattered?
At this moment, Ye Wushuang wasn’t thinking about that. His gaze was fixed on the only graphite box in the fourth floor.
The one-zhang-square graphite box seemed to have a profound connection with the pavilion and the space around it.
This feeling was quite strange.
Ye Wushuang gently touched the graphite box with his palm, and a scorching sensation was transmitted to his hand.
At this moment, the surface of the box began to shed pitch-black powder, and the entire pavilion trembled.
Everyone was startled and turned to look at Ye Wushuang.
“Junior Brother Ye…”
“Brother Ye…”
Mu Zi Li, Ji Ou, and the others all looked worried.
“It’s okay,” Ye Wushuang said, looking at the graphite box in front of him, “This thing is strange. Let me take a look…”
No one spoke.
Ye Wushuang quietly observed the graphite box in front of him.
After the box had vibrated and shed a layer, its length, width, and height had decreased by one-third.
But now, the surface of the graphite box was covered with intricate and eerie runes.
Seeing these runes, everyone was puzzled, but Ye Wushuang began to study them carefully.
These runes had a similar essence to the ones they had encountered before.
Ye Wushuang began to attempt to decipher them…
Runes, essentially, were also composed of spiritual energy, drawn into patterns, with these patterns connected to form strange characters. When these characters were linked together, they formed what appeared to be ghostly scribblings, talismans, and so on…
The condensation of some runes was somewhat similar to the condensation of array patterns, but many were different.
In fact, deciphering runes was more troublesome than breaking through a spiritual array.
After a short while, the others saw Ye Wushuang start to attempt to decipher the runes.
And then…
In a short time, one by one, the runes began to crumble and break apart under Ye Wushuang’s efforts.
Mu Zi Li, Ji Ou, Jiang Yihan, and the others all watched this scene with astonishment.
