Chapter 689: Chapter 269: Yi Family Ancestor: Obtaining Broken Blade Fiend

No matter how you looked at it, the potential area was only so large.

Even the worst-case scenario just meant spending the next few years here. He’d be able to harvest the Evil Qi in the end, one way or another.

With his mindset adjusted, Xiao Chen finally set foot on the island.

He began his search on foot.

Fortunately, his luck wasn’t so bad.

In less than two hours, he discovered an extremely deep fissure in a mountain gully.

Looking down, it was pitch-black, a bottomless abyss where nothing could be seen.

’He hadn’t noticed this place during his previous Investigation with his Divine Sense!’

’That means there’s something here!’

Xiao Chen’s spirits lifted. He cautiously approached the edge of the fissure and began a slow descent.

However, there was no strange pulling force, nor did he detect any abnormal fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

After deliberately slowing his descent for more than four thousand zhang, his feet finally touched the thick, loose soil at the bottom of the fissure.

The layer of soil was several zhang deep—cold and damp, like a lake on the verge of freezing in December. Beneath it lay solid rock.

Not a single ray of sunlight reached this place. It was pitch-black in every direction.

’No matter. At least there’s Spiritual Qi here.’

"True Yang Fire Dragon!"

Xiao Chen summoned his Fire Dragon, a sight not seen for some time. Its massive body immediately lit up everything within two thousand zhang.

’I have to admit, this thing is pretty useful as a light source.’

A single Fire Dragon was as effective as several hundred torches.

By the light of the flames, Xiao Chen could see that the ground sloped, forming a natural passageway.

He followed the winding path at the bottom of the abyss, walking for several more hours.

He felt himself descending deeper and deeper. The loose soil underfoot grew shallower, and he realized that the open fissure above had long since been replaced by a solid rock ceiling.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen saw something glint up ahead to his right.

He immediately moved closer to investigate. It was a Jade Pendant, embedded vertically in the ground.

Faint carvings were visible on its surface; it was clearly man-made.

As he continued onward, more and more similar objects appeared.

"CRACK!"

A crisp snap echoed. Xiao Chen lifted his foot and saw that he had accidentally crushed a Flying Sword, one that had been weathered to the point of disintegration.

He directed the Fire Dragon to descend, casting a brighter light on the ground.

Here, the layer of loose soil had thinned to barely two fingers’ depth.

It was no longer deep enough to conceal the many objects scattered about, their irregular shapes poking through.

Tattered armor, damaged Array Flags, shattered Spirit Shields, and circular Magical Artifacts.

"Ah!"

Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly landed on it—the special Magical Artifact the Black Abyss Demon Sect used to collect Evil Qi, the one he had seen in the inherited memories.

It lay discarded at the edge of the passage, the emblem of the Black Abyss Demon Sect still faintly visible on its surface.

"Excellent!"

Xiao Chen’s spirits soared. ’If the Demon Artifact is here, the Evil Qi can’t be far off.’

Sure enough, after walking a few more miles, he finally arrived at the special canyon.

It was located nearly ten thousand zhang beneath the island’s surface—a place nearly impossible to find without searching for it intentionally.

Looking down, he saw that the ground was blanketed in piles of white bones, just as he had seen in the inherited memories.

He didn’t need a Secret Technique for his Investigation; just standing at the canyon’s edge, he could feel wisps of Evil Qi drifting out and seeping into his body.

An ordinary Cultivator would have been horrified, but a smile touched Xiao Chen’s lips.

"Here I come!"

He pushed off with his feet, leaping from the canyon edge dozens of zhang above.

He was instantly plunged into an ocean of Evil Qi.

He didn’t even need to actively absorb it; vast quantities of Evil Qi scrambled to pour into his body.

This Evil Qi originated from the broken weapons, giving it a Metal attribute according to the Five Elements.

And since this place never saw the sun and was a burial ground heavy with Yin Qi, the Evil Qi had also taken on a Yin nature.

「Just three days later.」

A brand-new Yin Metal Seal appeared in Xiao Chen’s Dantian.

’Alright then, I’ll call you the Broken Blade Fiend.’
