On the Pole Sword Platform, the elder in a purple cloud robe, his beard and hair all bristling, was frowning at the dragon remains.
Reacher touched his bald head, smugly flitted over, crouched to examine the dragon remains, then suddenly raised his hand, drew some text in the void, and said, "Elder Dan, the text is called 'Dragon Burial Law,' offered by a young fellow traveling with us."
The elder in the purple cloud robe, known as Elder Dan, narrowed his old eyes, gazed at the words floating in the void, then looked again at the dragon remains, and snorted coldly, "Corrupt Dragon Breath, Essence Blood on the Monument, a thousand coffins enduring together, Stone Monument Evil Sign... It seems that when someone consumed the monument, they gnawed on this dragon too."
Reacher said, "The two youngsters who came to our Sword Palace, junior has already checked them, the causes and effects are purely good, no trace of evil path."
Elder Dan said, "Could it be they forgot the reincarnation of a split soul? If there is a split soul reincarnation, how could what the split soul does involve the main soul?"
Reacher: ...
Elder Dan said, "A mere owner of a level 4 Cultivation Profound Land, how can they withstand the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace?"
Reacher said, "Isn't it because Senior Gu Mohan slew a dragon, the lingering power still there; Elder Ning lingered around scaring off the enemy, combined with the fact that the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace needs a slow simmer to absorb the five spirits, so this level 4 Cultivation Profound Land was slowly eroded."
Elder Dan suddenly said, "Reacher."
Reacher's body stiffened, he let out a long sigh, saluted, and said, "Right is right, wrong is wrong, this time... it was junior's oversight."
Elder Dan waved his hand and said, "Knowing and correcting mistakes is commendable, this dragon remains have issues, first don't bring it into the Pole Sword Platform, keep a close watch on those two youngsters, take them to the Sword Tomb for a look, then come back here to test the quality of the original text, maybe... the result will be obvious."
Reacher said, "Elder, there's actually only one at the Profound Yellow Realm, another youngster is just a Registered Disciple under Elder Ning's Ascension Order, his realm hasn't broken through to Profound Yellow."
Elder Dan turned his head to look at another female cultivator in hemp clothes and grass shoes, and said, "Daozhen brother's Registered Disciple, then it was Yunmiao who took him away?"
Ning Yunmiao respectfully said, "Reporting to Elder Dan, Song Yan is at my Clear Bamboo Mountain."
Elder Dan said, "Cultivating evil technique is minor, but if they walk into the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace as spies, there's no telling what outrageous things they might do."
After some thought, Elder Dan suddenly said, "Did anyone disembark midway this time?"
Reacher said, "Di Cunxin disembarked midway, went to a pawnshop, purchased two elixirs, to cleanse the cause and effect."
Elder Dan said, "Go check, see if he left anything behind. The starry sky surrounding my Vast Sea region is a perilous zone, the pathways into it aren't known to outsiders, if he deliberately left some information, that could indeed be a problem."
Reacher awkwardly scratched his head and said, "We encountered a star disaster at the Star Raft market, that market was probably destroyed already, even if we wanted to check, we can't."
Elder Dan said curiously, "Star disaster?"
Ning Yunmiao's mind moved, he sketched some text in the void, and said, "The junior brother who stayed in the cabin saw a strange black slab, with these words, so I think it wasn't a star disaster, but man-made havoc."
Elder Dan focused and slowly read, "The Ghost Gate opens, do not believe. The door cracks, peeking into the Netherworld. White-bone hand, delights in life. The hand hasn't reached, the soul condenses first."
He frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Describe the sightings of the star disaster that day, what did you see?"
Ning Yunmiao, Reacher narrated in detail incidents like "The Ghost Gate opens, white bones dragging people," "World-Devouring Beast suddenly appeared and disappeared."
Elder Dan suddenly fell silent, a profound contemplation showed in his expression, after a long time, he spoke a few words, "This matter I have arrangements for, you do not need to interfere, first proceed according to the plan, take those two new entry disciples around to see what exactly their purpose here is. As for the dragon remains, let them be purified before entering the Sword Platform."
After speaking, Elder Dan left hurriedly, as if he suddenly discovered a great treasure or opportunity, he was both solemn and tense, mumbling something about "Heaven and Earth," "Three Realms," and "Emergence."
Ning Yunmiao and Reacher exchanged a glance, not too surprised.
Elder Dan has always been so impetuous, as soon as he thinks of something he goes to do it right away.
Reacher said, "Yunmiao Daoist friend, you keep an eye on Song Yan, I will go fetch Di Cunxin. Let's first follow the Elder's instructions and take them through the entry procedures, whether they are capable or not will become evident soon enough."
Ning Yunmiao nodded, and said, "Junior brother has no ill intent, be cautious of Di Cunxin."
Reacher laughed and splayed his five fingers, saying, "Yunmiao Daoist friend, don't look at my usual amiable demeanor, that's only for the same clan, don't think any small creature can jump out of my grasp?"
Ning Yunmiao said, "Best if that's the case."
With that, the two parted like light and left the Pole Sword Platform.
...
...
The leaves rustled, casting a dappled shadow on Song Yan's face flickering under the falling sunlight.
A fishing rod was slanted in the sand beside him.
In the distance, the bait had long gone.
But, who cares?
Suddenly, a harsh voice rang explosively by Song Yan's ear.
"You certainly know how to slack off."
Song Yan opened his eyes, seeing five glistening toes pointed at him, and looking up further, he met Ning Yunmiao's high-angled gaze.
Song Yan said, "Isn't it because these days have been too tiring, learning the Soul Splitting Technique and lighting the Life Lamp?"
Ning Yunmiao froze for a moment, then said, "This way I have wronged you, junior brother."
The moment prior was like frozen ice, the next like spring wind.
Song Yan changed the topic, smiled, and said, "Has senior sister finished observing?"
Ning Yunmiao nodded indifferently, then said, "Let's go, since the Life Lamp is lit, I should take you to the Sword Tomb to fetch the Sword Intent."
