"On the body of this bronze puppet, lies the remaining two opportunities."

Seeing this, Xu Minjun gestured, summoning the bronze sword puppet to step forward, kneeling on one knee before Shangguan Yun, and removed a command flag and a key from its waist.

"When Xiong Ying built this underground palace, his goal was to fulfill the Hero King's command, but he also left some small thoughts for his descendants. This specially left seventh realm sword puppet is not just a guardian; the command flag and key it carries are crucial."

Shangguan Yun took them and said:

"This command flag is a small 'array suppression stone,' called the 'Command Cloud Flag.' Although it can't control all formations in the Hero King's underground palace like the true large suppression stone here, it can control the 'Cloud Pendant Formation' within the Eight Gates Shocking Array, allowing me to teleport it anywhere in the underground palace. According to Minjun's memory, the Eight Gates Shocking Array could trap tens of thousands of soldiers, even a seventh realm expert would be trapped."

Sui You nodded and praised, "With this 'Command Cloud Flag' and the bronze sword puppet, sir can not fear any seventh realm experts within this underground palace. On the contrary, you can use the Cloud Pendant Formation to scheme against others and assist in completing your plans."

"As for this key, it's for unlocking a place called the 'Mountain Lifting Hall' within the Hero King Palace, something Xiong Ying left for the Xu family's descendants."

Shangguan Yun mused to himself:

"If my guess is correct, it should contain Xiong Ying's complete 'Sky-Shaking Earth-Shattering Divine Technique' inheritance."

"So, within the main hall of the Hero King Palace, what's probably hidden is the 'Void Sky Treasure Box'."

Sui You said:

"Unfortunately, we don't have a map, so we can only explore step by step."

"We need to first find the location of the 'Cloud Pendant Formation.' As long as we find it, we can ride it to directly teleport out of this labyrinth."

Shangguan Yun said:

"Right now, let's see who among the many others tests out the position of the Cloud Pendant Formation first for us."

Having the Command Cloud Flag is of no use until the Cloud Pendant Formation is found.

...

On the other side.

Chen Ku and two elders also arrived at the underground palace.

"Hmm? That Bronze Axe General has been dismantled!"

Chen Ku arrived outside the entrance of the underground palace and saw that the Bronze Axe General, which once barred his way, had turned into a pile of bronze shards. Shocked, he exclaimed:

"Shangguan Yun shouldn't have such power!"

At this moment,

Master Uncle Shan Lingguan looked at the bronze shards underfoot, seemingly sensing something. He picked up a fragment, closed his eyes to feel it, and gravely spoke:

"It's the handiwork of a Yuan Country Qi Cultivator. Judging by the degree of fragmentation, it would require the power of at least an eighth realm magical treasure."

"Yuan Country Qi Cultivator?" Chen Ku spoke with a heavy voice: "Even people from Yuan Country have come, no, how did they arrive so quickly, unless..."

"It should be someone Shangguan Yun invited for assistance. It seems they have also entered the labyrinth beyond the gate." Shan Lingguan said, "We shouldn't delay either, let's go in."

Chen Ku immediately mapped out a route in his mind, navigating towards the entrance.

Beyond this entrance were all stalactites, utterly dark. Chen Ku immediately activated the 'Golden Light Technique,' turning himself into a human-shaped lamp, illuminating everything inside, discovering many formation traces on the stone walls.

After a short walk, they arrived at a crossroad with five paths. Chen Ku, with two elders, chose the correct path according to the map markings:

"If I'm not mistaken, there's a small cave ahead, with a chest hidden inside."

Sure enough.

Following this rocky path ahead, within a narrow crevice, they found a chest.

Just before Chen Ku reached the chest.

The Transformation Diagram began to vibrate intensely.

[Beside the Diagram Master, there is an item meeting the cultivation conditions of the Seventh Transformation Diagram: ten thousand jin of Gold Silk Jade, one hundred thousand taels of Pure Gold, and one piece of Spirit Jade]

Chen Ku was overjoyed.

Among the Seventh Transformation Diagram's conditions: a Perfection Realm Ultimate Skill, ten strands of Five Realms Evil Qi, all of which he already possessed.

He only lacked these precious metals and treasures.

Unexpectedly, after entering the Hero King Treasure, without even reaching the main hall, he encountered a small trove along the way that could enable him to initiate the Seventh Transformation Diagram.

When the Seventh Transformation Diagram is initiated...

It would also grant him a second Divine Skill, "Demon Banner."

He immediately walked towards the chest.

Suddenly, sensing something, the Transformation Diagram issued a warning.

[A seventh realm mechanism creation intends harm to the master...]

Simultaneously, the two elders beside him timely warned:

"Watch out!"

Out of nowhere, a towering bronze warlord stepped out from the cave, thrusting a terrifying spear towards Chen Ku!!

Boom!!

Chen Ku saw nothing but a blur, then two towering silhouettes appeared before him.

Senior Brother Qin Yuxian swung his hammer, followed closely by Master Shan Lingguan, flicking a finger shining with golden light towards that bronze warlord, comparable to the seventh realm!

With the superpowers of the Imperial Enlightenment Sect involved, forget a bronze mechanism of the seventh realm, even an eighth realm martial practitioner would be instantly slain!

Boom! Crack!!

That bronze warlord's spear approached, failing to touch Chen Ku's slightest hair, as Qin Yuxian's hammer sent it flying, body and all...

Then, from Master Shan Lingguan's fingertip, a golden light like a golden lightning bolt pierced through that warlord!

Crash!

Bronze parts scattered all over, and from them fell a crystal-like stone.

"Spirit Jade? So Spirit Jade was used as the driving force." Shan Lingguan murmured, capturing the Spirit Jade with one hand.

Looking down, he saw Chen Ku gazing eagerly at the Spirit Jade.

The Spirit Jade mentioned as the necessary condition was inside this warlord.

"Do you want it?" Shan Lingguan couldn't ignore his beloved disciple's gaze, tossing it to Chen Ku, smiling: "Indeed, this thing has some use for those training in the Huntian Overlord Body."

Chen Ku promptly caught the Spirit Jade, gratefully saying: "Thank you, Master."

After securing the Spirit Jade,

He proceeded to the chest, lifting it to reveal a beam of golden light...

"Tsk tsk, these are probably pilfered from some concubine's private stash in Hongjing City; Golden Silk Jade Robe and Pure Gold, only those women would hoard such things." Shan Lingguan chuckled.

Chen Ku shamelessly asked: "Master, Senior Brother, can I have this chest first? I'll take you to find more treasures later, is that okay?"

"Greedy beast!" Shan Lingguan shook his head helplessly, saying: "It's just a chest of gold and silver, and now you're the only direct disciple of the Imperial Enlightenment Sect."

"How could I, or Master Uncle, compete with you for this?" Qin Yuxian laughed.

Chen Ku chuckled twice.

He promptly stored the whole chest of precious metals into the storage bag, thinking:

"If I had these two great bodyguards with me during my entry to Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, wouldn't I breezily pass through all the checkpoints? What Champion Marquis could withstand the combined might of these two treasures behind me?"

[The Diagram Master has met all cultivation conditions of the Seventh Transformation Diagram, ready for sacrificial cultivation...]

"Sacrifice!"

Since everything is in the storage bag, disappearing without fear of being seen, Chen Ku shouted directly.

Suddenly, the Spirit Jade, Gold Silk Jade, and Pure Gold in his Transformation Diagram vanished.

[The Diagram Master has completed the Seventh Transformation Diagram]

[As the Diagram Master has completed the Seventh Transformation Diagram—Second Innate Divine Ability 'Demon Banner' opened!]
