Xiao Yang jumped straight into the alchemy furnace.
This shocked Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er outside the alchemy furnace.
“I say, son-in-law, you alright? Is there treasure in there?” Liu Qingyun hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yang didn’t reply.
Because once he landed in the furnace, a pungent odor hit him hard.
The space inside the alchemy furnace wasn’t small.
Under his feet lay a layer of medicinal dregs.
No wonder that Fire Centipede was able to evolve into a six-winged Fire Centipede, comparable to that of the human supreme beings; it must have devoured these medicinal dregs to transform!
Even now, the medicinal power in those dregs hadn’t completely dissipated.
Aside from the medicinal residue, all that remained were the centipede droppings left by the six-winged Fire Centipede.
The smell of the centipede droppings was just downright nauseating.
Xiao Yang felt a bit disappointed and was about to exit when he noticed a chest in the corner.
He approached and opened the chest, revealing a jade slip inside.
Taking out the jade slip, Xiao Yang released his consciousness.
In the next moment, his consciousness seemed to enter another realm, surrounded by a blank white space—a real void.
While Xiao Yang was stunned, a figure appeared before him.
“If you don’t come soon, this fragment of my memory will completely dissipate…”
A voice echoed in Xiao Yang’s mind.
In the next moment, the figure pointed a finger at his forehead.
Countless pieces of information surged into his mind, imprinting directly into his memory.
Transmitting consciousness.
Suddenly, Xiao Yang’s brain was flooded with new knowledge.
“Danji Gate? Wujidan Canon?”
Xiao Yang was over the moon.
It turned out this jade slip concealed the inheritance of this ancient alchemy sect.
This ancient alchemy sect was called Danji Gate, and the Wujidan Canon was an ancient treasure of alchemy.
With this canon, he wouldn’t need to bother the alchemists from the Heavenly Medical Sect or the Dan Ding Sect anymore.
He could perform alchemy himself.
Moreover, the Wujidan Canon included countless recipes for ancient, legendary elixirs.
That Breaking Realm Dan? In this Wujidan Canon, it was merely a low-tier elixir.
How terrifying is that?
It’s hard to imagine just how powerful people in ancient times truly were.
Even an elixir like the Breaking Realm Dan was just ordinary back then.
At this moment, Xiao Yang’s consciousness returned to his body.
The jade slip in his hand turned to dust, dissipating into the void.
He had obtained the most precious treasure in this place.
As he looked at the empty box in his hand, then at the pile of six-winged Fire Centipede droppings, a mischievous smile crept onto his face.
……
Meanwhile, the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion was buzzing with excitement.
Just as the people from the Supreme Dao Sect were about to become the six-winged Fire Centipede’s dinner, their young master arrived.
The Supreme Dao Child, dressed in white and wearing a smiling mask.
From the figure, it was hard to tell whether the Supreme Dao Child was male or female.
However, the Supreme Dao Child actually stood in the way of the six-winged Fire Centipede.
Just as the Supreme Dao Child began to battle the six-winged Fire Centipede, Tang Chen and his group charged back in.
“You despicable rat…”
Tang Chen’s group fumed; the people from the Supreme Dao Sect had found them!
Obviously, they’d been followed by the Supreme Dao Sect.
“Who are you calling despicable?”
Brother Ling from the Supreme Dao Sect immediately boiled over.
The two sides began arguing, and soon fists started flying.
Tang Chen faced off against Brother Ling from the Supreme Dao Sect.
And this time, Tang Chen had brought along a gray-haired elder.
This elder had an extraordinary demeanor, giving off a transcendent vibe.
The elder didn’t step in; instead, he watched the Supreme Dao Child battling the six-winged Fire Centipede.
“Supreme Dao Sect has produced quite an impressive successor!”
The elder exclaimed.
The Supreme Dao Child was holding their own against the six-winged Fire Centipede.
With such cultivation and combat strength, they were undoubtedly one of the most formidable figures among the younger generation.
This time’s Grand Competition truly brought forth many prodigies.
Compared to the Supreme Dao Child, their Holy Maiden from the Heavenly Medical Sect, Ning Shu, seemed quite inferior.
In reality, the Heavenly Medical Sect wasn’t aiming for the top spot in the Grand Competition.
They just wanted to secure a place in the top ten.
At that moment, the Supreme Dao Child extended their right hand, and a sword instantly appeared in their grasp.
“The Supreme Sword of the Supreme Dao Sect?”
The elder gasped in surprise.
The Supreme Sword was the true treasure of the Supreme Dao Sect, rarely used.
However, this time the Supreme Dao Child had brought the Supreme Sword to the Grand Competition.
Clearly, the Supreme Dao Sect wanted to vie for the top spot this time.
Just then, the six-winged Fire Centipede spat out a ball of poisonous flame towards the Supreme Dao Child.
“Swish!”
With a wave of the Supreme Sword, the poisonous flame was instantly split in half, then the Supreme Dao Child charged ahead.
The six-winged Fire Centipede was cleaved in two by the stroke of the sword.
Its carcass fell to the ground.
“…”
Everyone was dumbfounded at this sight.
Such a formidable six-winged Fire Centipede was killed just like that?
The exoskeleton of the six-winged Fire Centipede was incredibly tough, even Xiao Yang’s flying sword couldn’t graze it.
This Supreme Sword was indeed worthy of its reputation, no wonder it was mentioned in the same breath as the Qingyang Sword of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Fuyiao Sword of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, and the Qingyun Sword of the Qingyun Sect.
The four strongest swords of the Northern Territory were no joke.
As the Supreme Dao Child landed, the divine sword pointed slant-wise to the ground, its blade gleaming, not a speck of dirt on it.
“This is the Supreme Sword? And you are the Supreme Dao Child?”
At that moment, Xiao Yang emerged from the City Lord’s Mansion, holding a treasure chest.
The Supreme Dao Child scrutinized Xiao Yang.
“You are the one who defeated Li Xingyao, Xiao Yang?”
The Supreme Dao Child inquired.
The voice of the Supreme Dao Child was neither male nor female, quite eerie.
“Xiao Yang?”
Tang Chen was startled upon seeing Xiao Yang; he couldn’t comprehend why Xiao Yang was here.
Behind Xiao Yang were Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er.
“Master’s uncle, the thing in Xiao Yang’s hands…”
Tang Chen was anxious.
The white-haired elder looked at Xiao Yang: “Hand over the chest, and then leave!”
“Ning Changkong!”
Xiao Yang looked at the elder and directly stated his name.
“You know me?”
The white-haired elder stared at Xiao Yang in surprise.
He hadn’t left the Heavenly Medical Sect for a century.
He was in seclusion to break through to the Sacred Martial Realm.
When he entered seclusion, Xiao Yang hadn’t been born yet.
“Hand over the chest!”
The Supreme Dao Child tightened their grip on the Supreme Sword.
With the Supreme Sword in hand, he feared no one.
“You all want it, so who should I give it to?”
Xiao Yang gave them a smirk that was neither here nor there.
“And what if I don’t?”
The Supreme Dao Child’s gaze turned icy as a murderous aura erupted from them.
