Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Wu Xitian.

A colossal tree, so large that it would take dozens of people to encircle it, stands tall in the center of the cave, its verdant branches constantly emitting a bluish-green light.

A giant tree, hundreds of feet tall, with branches and leaves that blocked out the sky and covered half of the cave.

A silvery-white, magical light flashed upwards.

A moment later, two figures emerged from the colorful light.

Zhang Qiushui, dressed in a pale yellow Buddhist robe, looked slightly regretful.

Master Tianhuo, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"Sister, Lord Tianqi may not have left that supreme secret technique in [Wuqi Heaven]. Back then, Lord Tianqi used the Witch Code to gather wood and was also proficient in the transformation of the properties of Su De Quan Dan. His talent can be described as unparalleled throughout history."

"Unfortunately, the Lord encountered an even more monstrous Sword Ancestor."

Tian Huo said this with a look of regret on his face.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiushui sighed softly, stood on the branches of the giant tree, and gazed into the distance, looking thoughtful.

After an unknown amount of time, she said softly:

"If that secret technique is in the grotto-heaven, then we can only try to find it somewhere in this towering tree. If we still can't find it, then it means that my fate is not good enough and I cannot force it."

As soon as they finished speaking, a flash of magical light appeared, and the two continued to climb up the giant tree, searching for the altars one by one.

At this moment, Jiang Heqian, who had plundered spiritual objects and resources, felt extremely happy.

Jiang Heqian flew northward from the eastern part of the cave, intending to try his luck again and see if he could gain anything more.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a tall wooden pavilion, several tens of feet high, suddenly appeared in Jiang Heqian's field of vision.

The array's spiritual light, interwoven with shades of blue and black, flickered continuously, appearing quite extraordinary.

Jiang Heqian stopped, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the pavilion, lost in thought:

"Looking at this formation, if I were to forcefully break it with my sword intent, it would take a long time and cause a great commotion. At that time, all the Purple Mansion True Persons in the entire cave heaven would probably rush over upon hearing the news."

Just as he was hesitating, considering whether or not to forcefully use his sword intent to break the formation.

Two streaks of azure light rushed over and appeared in front of the Green Wood Pavilion in just a few breaths.

The Yuan Cultivation Master, dressed in blue robes with a serious expression.

Chi Buzi, with disheveled hair, emerald green eyes, and a gloomy expression.

When Jiang Heqian saw that it was these two people, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself:

"That's good. If there are any treasures or supplies in the Green Wood Pavilion, these two old ghosts won't give up even a single bit."

He cursed his bad luck inwardly, but forced a smile and said:

"Yu Yan greets the two seniors. What a coincidence to meet you both here."

Chi Buzi, with his sinister blue eyes, sized up Jiang Heqian and said with amusement:

"True Master Yu Yan, you are quite fortunate. You were able to find the Hidden Witch Pavilion in the cave. You are indeed worthy of being valued by True Lord Shangyuan. I admire you."

That sounds so harsh.

Jiang Heqian cursed the blue-eyed devil in his heart, but pretended to be terrified and explained:

"Yu Yan only had a small stroke of luck, it's nothing to say that he was favored by the True Lord. Senior Bu Zi, you flatter me."

This green-eyed devil with a forced smile is cunning and scheming; Jiang Heqian is definitely no match for him.

Chi Buzhi kept trying to probe, but Jiang Heqian simply pushed it all onto Shangyuan Zhenjun.

Chi Buzhi was momentarily intimidated and stopped probing further.

After remaining silent for a long time, Master Yuan finally spoke:

"Alright, I've pretty much figured out this formation. You two keep an eye on your surroundings, I'll break it."

Jiang Heqian readily agreed, but was puzzled as to why the two men didn't drive him away.

He sighed inwardly, suppressing his chaotic thoughts and ceasing to dwell on them.

Then, Master Yuanxiu tossed the golden talisman in his hand, revealing an astonishing aura of righteous wood supernatural powers, and chanted strange incantations.

In an instant, the array in front of me, a mixture of blue and black, flickered with an unpredictable spiritual light.

When Jiang Heqian saw the Grand Master make his move for the first time, he was both surprised and frightened.

If Yuan Xiu's True Wood Divine Power were to strike him, it would instantly shatter his physical body, leaving only the Shengyang Mansion.

A Great Immortal who has crossed the Threshold of the Three Purple Immortals is worlds apart from someone in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

The difference in strength is not just a little bit.

Before half an incense stick had burned, the blue and black magic array in front of them shattered on the spot with a bang.

Although Yuan Xiu was a Zhengmu cultivator, his mastery of talismans was unparalleled in the Yue Kingdom, making him arguably the number one talisman master in the Sun Dao lineage for hundreds of years.

He once used a talisman to suppress the Purple Mansion of the Miao Family in the South China Sea, almost killing them on the spot.

If it weren't for the limitations of the times, it might have actually succeeded.

Yuan Xiu waved his hand, took the golden talisman into his hand, and with a flash, he was the first to enter the Hidden Witch Pavilion.

Jiang Heqian and his companion didn't stand on ceremony and followed him into the attic.

Inside the shamanic pavilion, there were piles of animal hides of various sizes, covered with shamanic script that Jiang Heqian could not understand.

Originally expecting something good, Jiang Heqian lost interest instantly upon seeing it.

This ancient shamanic script has not been passed down; who can understand it now?

Jiang Heqian pondered for a moment, then thought to himself:

"No, I have the Dao-Elucidating Jade, which can deduce cultivation techniques. I'll find a high-grade ancient witchcraft manual, go back and try it out, and see if I can deduce the inscriptions on the Dao-Elucidating Stele."

Thinking of this, Jiang Heqian pretended to be surprised and looked around.

He immediately noticed the red animal hide on the platform.

Master Yuanxiu was already standing there watching.

He shook his head in disappointment and walked to the other side.

Jiang Heqian walked over and forcibly memorized the shamanic script and symbols on the red animal skin.

"Does Master Yuyan know Wuwen?" Chi Buzhi asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiu Zhenren stopped in his tracks.

The Divine Power of Green Water [Chou Kui Zang].

Jiang Heqian cursed the blue-eyed devil in his heart, thinking to himself:

"You just wait. Once I get past the Three Purple Immortal Threshold, I'll give you a good beating, otherwise I won't be satisfied."

The idea was good, but reality was harsh. Jiang Heqian had no choice but to force a smile and say:

"Senior Bu Zi is joking. How could Yu Yan recognize the Wu script? He just finds these messy lines novel."

"Ever since Yu Yan entered this [Witch's Abode Heaven], all he has seen is this barbarian script. Could it be that the great master of this cave heaven is a barbarian who attained enlightenment?"

Chi Buzi glanced at Jiang Heqian, then ignored him and walked away on her own.

Chi Buzhi never cared about things that didn't concern him.

On the other side, Yuan Xiu Zhenren, who was examining the animal hides, said in a low voice:

"Lord Tianqi's maternal clan is the barbarian tribes beyond the northern pass. He was born and raised there. Later, due to his exceptional talent, he was taken in as a disciple by Lord Xuanwai. Before he was two hundred years old, he went to Jimu with his earth-shattering shamanistic skills."

"Later, due to a predestined connection with the Immortal Lord, I came to the Southern Frontier to cultivate."

"Your Excellency is proficient in divination, wood manipulation, and the transformation of material properties. You can use the essence of wood manipulation to perform the transformation of the entire elixir. Your talent and wisdom are unparalleled throughout history."

"It's just a pity...sigh."

Jiang Heqian's heart was in turmoil upon hearing this, and he thought to himself:

"Could this Lord [Tianxi Shaman Xuanji] be the legendary Lord Jimu, who was slain by the Sword Ancestor?"

This speculation made Jiang Heqian laugh.

The ancient war between immortals and demons must have been a bloody battle between a group of exceptionally talented adults who were all determined to win.

How could someone who can attain enlightenment through shamanic practices and the gathering of wood be lacking in talent?

Upon hearing Master Yuan Xiu's words, Jiang Heqian sincerely thanked him:

"Senior Yuanxiu is very knowledgeable. Yu Yan thanks you for clearing up my doubts."
