Hell Emperor.

Chapter 537 Ye Jie - Searching for Treasures
Everyone walked quickly forward, heading deeper into the treasure trove.

On the way, Li Fei'e still had a look of fear on his face: "I didn't expect that the corpse dragon was so powerful. I just hope that there is really a magic weapon in the treasure trove that can help us escape."

After a pause, Li Fei'e continued, "When I was meditating in the sect, I saw the Thunder Seal left by the founder. It recorded the Five Thunders Orthodox Method derived from the Unrivaled Dharma. It's a pity that I spent too little time meditating. In just thirty years, I didn't understand anything at all. If I had worked harder at the time, maybe I could have understood something, and I wouldn't be in such a mess now..."

As she spoke, Li Fei'e couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The Thunder Seal left by the ancestor contained the world's highest thunder method. She had tried to comprehend it several times but didn't understand much. In the end, she focused on her own realm and practiced other mental methods. She failed to comprehend the most powerful killing move of thunder from the Thunder Seal.

If she could do it again, she would definitely practice diligently and use the power of the Five Thunders to teach the corpse dragon a lesson.

Ye Jie was a little curious: "Wasn't the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder you cast avoided by the Corpse Dragon? Would the situation be different if you switched to the Five Thunders Orthodox Method?"

Li Fei'e nodded: "Although the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is powerful, its attack is single. The Five Thunders Orthodox Method may not be as powerful, but it can handle a variety of situations. The Kuishui Yin Thunder in the Five Thunders Orthodox Method can effectively restrain the corpse dragon with a hollow body."

As he spoke, Li Fei'e couldn't help scratching his head: "Compared to ordinary people, my aptitude is already good, but compared to the descendants of Xuannv, it seems not good enough. Speaking of which, I have only seen ancestors who have achieved enlightenment for hundreds of years use Kuishui Yinlei. As for now, I'm afraid there is no hope..."

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh. If Li Fei'e had mastered the Kuishui Yinlei, even if it was only at the entry level, he could rely on the eight-sided stitching pages to modify the files and improve to an unfathomable level in one fell swoop. Maybe he would be able to fight against the corpse dragon. Unfortunately, there was no point in considering this now.

Behind the two, Yunxiu pursed his lips. With the experience from last time, he took the initiative to speak: "I also want to do something for you. If it doesn't work... when the ban is opened, I will find a way to lure the corpse dragon away. You guys better run!"

Li Fei'e rolled his eyes. "What? Do you think we are the kind of people who would abandon our companions? Besides, you are not even an immortal. If I ask you to lure away the corpse dragon, if it gets out, I am afraid that outsiders will think that the Xuannv Sect is a group of cowardly villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

Yunxiu opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer, so she looked at Ye Jie for help. Based on her last experience, she should have shown an attitude of sacrificing her life for justice in times of crisis, so why did she make Li Fei'e unhappy instead?
Ye Jie coughed dryly: "At least you have good intentions... But, let's find a way to deal with the corpse dragon."

As they moved forward, soon the rosy glow coming from the passage ahead attracted everyone's attention.

Li Fei'e's eyes sparkled. "That glow... I won't be mistaken. It must be the glow of a magic weapon! I knew we had come to the right place. I don't know what magic weapons are in front of us. I just hope Snake Eyes can steal more treasures... I mean, Snake Eyes is a thief by nature. These treasures are stolen goods. It's only natural that we take them all away."

Feeling the auspicious light emanating from the magic weapon, Ye Jie could hardly remain calm. Perhaps the hope of escaping the predicament lies in it, and he was a little excited: "Let's go and take a look."

As they stepped into the cave ahead, they were dazzled by the bright golden light flashing all around.

Inside the cave, gold, silver and jewels are piled up into mountains. Precious utensils that are rarely seen in the mortal world are everywhere here. It can be said that one has fallen into a gold mine. Among them are also magical instruments collected from immortal energy.

Arriving here, Yunxiu's eyes suddenly froze, her gaze focused on a piece of crimson cloth, which was the Thousand Life Blood Cloth stained with her umbilical cord blood.

Following her line of sight, Ye Jie also saw the red cloth: "Sure enough, the Thousand Life Blood Silk is here, but I wonder if the Golden Silk Nanmu species is also here..."

Picking up the red cloth, the strong vitality on it made Ye Jie's muscles and bones relax. Even the hidden injuries left in his body by the conflict of martial arts just now showed signs of healing.

The Thousand Life Blood Silk contains the umbilical cord blood of countless babies, and also contains the vitality of life that can heal all injuries of the people around it.

If the Thousand Lives Blood Silk had been obtained earlier, even the seriously injured and dying man beside the pond of rotten water could have recovered from his injuries, and even his severed limbs could have been regenerated.

"The Thousand Lives Blood Silk has been found. The vitality contained in it is indeed the best material for the Demon God to revive. It's a pity that this is not a magic weapon for fighting. I'm afraid it can't be used against the enemy."

Feeling the power of the Thousand Lives Blood Silk, Ye Jie also felt something in his heart. It was worthy of being the magic weapon that the founder of the Xuannv Sect had practiced and refined for many years. It was indeed extraordinary.

After putting away the blood-stained silk, Ye Jie couldn't help but glance at Li Fei'e who was fiddling with something nearby. He couldn't help but hold his head with his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Fei'e bent down and picked up a flying sword-shaped magical weapon from the ground, anxious like an ant on a hot pot:
"That won't work either... The magic weapons here all bear the marks of their owners' sacrifices and are very strong. Even if ordinary people get them, they can't use them. I guess Snake Eyes must have stolen the magic weapons and found that the marks were too strong, so he put them away. When their original owners die, the marks will disappear on their own."

"What……"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had also heard that some immortals could make magic weapons recognize their masters after using their unique methods to sacrifice them. In this way, even if the magic weapons were taken away by others, they could not be used unless there was a way to kill the original owner or destroy the recognition mark. Otherwise, it would be just a decoration.

Looking around, except for a very few magic weapons that can be used, the rest are like this. Some of them have been placed for who knows how many years, and the surface has long been covered with dust.

"That's right... If the magic weapons were useful, I'm afraid Snake Eyes would have sold them long ago. The Qinglian Palace, which specializes in trade, doesn't ask where the treasures come from. Only those magic weapons with strong marks and no value would be thrown here by Snake Eyes..."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie suddenly frowned. He remembered that a similar situation had happened before.

That was in the overseas Japan of Dongsheng Shenzhou. At that time, he got a sealed bamboo slip from the hands of a demon fairy.

The seal on the bamboo slips is not strong, but only the demon fairy himself can open it. If others force it open, they will only destroy the contents.

In order to open the bamboo slips, Ye Jie and his companions racked their brains. In the end, Ye Jie modified the files of the bamboo slips, directly erasing the owner's name and replacing it with Ye Jie's own name, and only then was the bamboo slips opened.

Now, a similar situation has occurred, the difference is that what needs to be opened are not bamboo slips, but magic weapons that have been refined by immortals.

They quickly counted the treasures in the cave and found that there were seven magic weapons with sacrificial marks, two usable magic weapons without owners, and countless gold and silver utensils, pearls and gems. If a mortal got them, they would be rich enough to rival a country. However, for Ye Jie and his party, gold and silver had little practical use except for being converted into spirit stones.

"Wait a moment……"

When Li Fei'e was collecting the gold, silver and jewellery with the Hunyuan Bracelet, the sharp-eyed Ye Jie suddenly noticed something. He quickly stopped her action and picked up a dazzling gold leaf from the pile of jewellery.

"Is this... the leaf of the Golden Phoebe King? The Phoebe King is the sacred tree of the Tianji Sect. Even the leaves on it are like pure gold. Snake Eyes must have seen the value of the golden leaf and brought it back to the cave to collect it!"

After finding the whereabouts of the golden leaf, Ye Jie's eyes lit up, but that was all. Apart from a few golden leaves in the pile of treasures, Ye Jie did not find the whereabouts of the tree species.

"What a pity... But the fact that we can find the golden leaves means that Snake Eyes must know where the tree is. As long as we follow the clues and keep looking, maybe we can stop the ritual of the demon's revival." After putting away the leaves, Ye Jie felt relieved.

After collecting all the property in the mansion, Ye Jie also began to count the magic weapons. Among the two ownerless magic weapons, the Thousand Life Blood Silk was one of them, and the other fifth-grade magic weapon was a compass-shaped wooden box with a hollow interlayer in the box, and no one knew what it was used for.

Seeing the compass, Li Fei'e fixed his eyes on it and showed a look of surprise: "Could that be... the treasure-hunting compass?"

"Treasure hunting compass? What is that?" Ye Jie was a little confused.

Li Fei'e answered truthfully: "The treasure-hunting compass is one of the treasures of the great thief Snake Eyes. As long as a part of an object is placed in it, the compass can accurately point to the place related to it. With the help of this compass, Snake Eyes has stolen countless hidden treasures, and I didn't expect to put them here."

"Really? Since the treasure-hunting compass has such an effect, doesn't it mean..."

Ye Jie noticed something and took out the gold leaf he had just found and put it into the hollow layer. The compass needle really moved, rotated for a while, and finally pointed straight to the north.

"It really worked. According to the compass, the Golden Phoebe King that was taken away by the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is now to our north. As long as we follow the guidance of the compass, we can find the whereabouts of the Phoebe King!"

Ye Jie's face lit up with joy. This trip into the Dragon's Pond had yielded rich rewards. He had finally found out the whereabouts of the Nanmu King and was now able to stop the Demon God from reviving.

Having clues is one thing, but more importantly, it is to find a way to escape from this place. Otherwise, the corrupted corpse dragons lurking outside will be enough to trap everyone to death here, and there will be no way to escape even with a treasure-hunting compass.

Soon, Ye Jie also turned his attention to the seven magical weapons that existed for sacrifice and sealing, including a sword, three mirrors, a pen, a book, and a lamp.

With his and Li Fei'e's attainments in the art of sacrifice, they were simply unable to break the seal in the magic weapon. Even Snake Eyes was powerless. One can imagine how difficult it is to break the seal.

Ye Jie took out the stitching page and could only pin his hopes on it. As his mind moved, the file of the first treasure also emerged.

[Book of Life and Death Archives:]

[Treasure Name: Guiming Sword]

【Category: Sword】

[Grade: Second-grade artifact]

[Owner: Sword Immortal Beichen]

"Sure enough..."

The sacrificial seal suppressed the light of the magic weapon itself. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that this dark blue sword is actually a rare second-grade artifact in the world!

Looking at the contents appearing on the stitched page, Ye Jie felt relieved. He had seen the power of the Book of Life and Death to modify files many times. Now, he only needed to change the name of the treasure holder to change the owner of the treasure after the sacrifice.

However, the feedback from the stitching page made Ye Jie secretly disappointed.

[Insufficient permissions, unable to change "Sword Immortal Beichen" to "Ziwei Palace Master Ye Jie"]

The feedback from the stitching page made Ye Jie a little disappointed.

The good news is that the Book of Life and Death can indeed modify the files of magic weapons, thus turning the magic weapons sealed by others into your own. The bad news is that the eight main accounts do not have enough authority to modify them, and more main accounts are needed to do so.

Ye Jie frowned and turned his attention to other magic weapons. The styles of several round mirrors gave Ye Jie a familiar feeling, and the information on the stitching page also proved this to Ye Jie.

[Book of Life and Death Archives:]

[Treasure name: Liuhe Treasure Mirror]

【Category: Mirror】

[Grade: Third-grade artifact]

[Holder: Jiazi God General, Dingmao God General]

"Huh? There are actually two Liuhe mirrors here?"

What made Ye Jie's eyes light up was that he didn't expect that the treasure hiding place of the great thief Snake Eyes actually contained two Liuhe Treasure Mirrors. Those were the signature magic weapons of the Liu Ding and Liu Jia, but he didn't expect that they were also stolen by Snake Eyes.

The Liuhe Treasure Mirror will undergo different changes according to the characteristics of the general. It can be said that each Liuhe Treasure Mirror has a different style. This is why Ye Jie did not recognize it at the first time.

Unlike other magic weapons, Ye Jie could only watch as they were being sacrificed and sealed, but for the Liuhe Treasure Mirror, Ye Jie could do more than that.

Relying on the power of the immortal officials of the Six Dings and Six Jias, Ye Jie can integrate the Six Harmonies Treasure Mirrors into his own Tiangang Armor, and as the number of the Six Harmonies Treasure Mirrors increases, the power of the armor can be greatly enhanced.

Among the gods, the Jiazi god will be in charge of good fortune and luck, the Dingmao god will be in charge of the vitality of spring trees, and now these abilities will also be incorporated into Ye Jie's Tiangang armor, bringing him even stronger power!
As Ye Jie's mind moved, the golden dragon-patterned Tiangang armor wrapped his entire body. The armor wrapped around Ye Jie, adding a bit of barrier-breaking light energy. He slowly stretched out his hand, and the two Liuhe treasure mirrors on the ground were attracted by the power of the same origin, and then they retreated their appearance, turned into the purest ball of light, and merged into the Tiangang armor!
At the side, Yunxiu opened his mouth lightly. Under the cover of the Tiangang Armor, Ye Jie seemed like a different person. There was not even a trace of the aura of a ghost fairy. Instead, there was only the extraordinary heroic spirit.

When the absorption was finished, five balls of light intertwined with each other behind Ye Jie, and kept rotating around him. Each ball of light contained the divine power of a Liuhe Treasure Mirror. When they were taken out, they were all third-grade divine artifacts that could stand on their own!

At the same time, there was a violent vibration on the stitching page, and the power of the immortal officials of the Six Dings and Six Jias began to undergo new changes due to the addition of the Liuhe Treasure Mirror.
