In the Great Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique, the Five Elements Peacock Dharma Form was being utilized for the first time by Ye Kai. However, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be particularly suited for practicing this Divine Ability.
For some reason, when using the Dharmic Manifestation, not only did his thoughts become clear, but his entire body also experienced a surge in magical power.
Even so, Ye Kai's expression showed no significant fluctuations; he merely murmured, "What is learned from paper is always shallow; true understanding comes from practice."
Both Ge Quan and Yang Baishun, as well as the newly joined Wolf Cypress, were somewhat puzzled. They couldn't quite grasp what this ruthless yet overwhelmingly powerful individual was thinking.
Why did he suddenly reveal an unmistakable expression of excitement?
Ye Kai suddenly felt that perhaps it was due to the divine connection he often borrowed from the deity's essence. This might explain why, during the use of Dharmic Manifestation, he felt completely at ease and his magical power flowed without any hindrance.
With a crackling sound, a faint light flashed from the storage bag in Ye Kai's hand. Following that, his Divine Sense navigated through the opened passage inside. In just a brief moment, the Great Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique had completely dismantled the Restriction above.
The originally complex and mysterious Restriction now lay open and defenseless before him.
After experiencing this sensation akin to observing patterns on his palm, Ye Kai grew fond of the Great Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique; it was truly beneficial.
Moreover, he genuinely understood the power of the divine—such an extraordinary Divine Ability could be researched and mastered.
Suddenly, his expression froze!
He stared blankly at the storage bag in his hand.
Inside were six landscape paintings that were so familiar they could not be more so!
He had obtained two himself and three from Ge Quan and Yang Baishun. That made five. If he added what was in this storage bag, it would total eleven!
“Hiss!!!”
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, his expression shifting as he stared at the storage bag in his hand.
Then, without hesitation, he took out the remaining Five storage bags and used the Great Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique to break the Restrictions one by one. He quickly picked one up to examine it.
One.
Two.
...
Five!!
With each one he looked at, a strange expression appeared on his face—a mix of a smile and confusion, as if he understood something yet remained puzzled.
Immediately after, he swept a section of ground clear and took out all the landscape paintings. Upon closer inspection, there were already thirty pieces.
Suddenly, he turned around again and looked at Wolf Cypress, who was sitting next to Ge Quan and Yang Baishun with an extremely frustrated expression. He said in a deep voice, “Throw your storage bag over here.”
“Huh?” Wolf Cypress exclaimed in surprise.
But then his face fell into a bitter expression. He didn’t want to part with his storage bag; after all, everything he owned was inside. If he handed it over, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone without a trace!
However, he really didn’t dare to refuse. After hesitating for less than three seconds, he quickly removed the Restrictions from his storage bag. With reluctance written all over his face, he gritted his teeth and tossed it over.
Ye Kai reached out and caught the storage bag without paying attention to anyone else. He opened it directly and took out all the landscape paintings before tossing the storage bag back.
“Thud!”
Looking at the storage bag that had fallen before him, Wolf Cypress felt a bit dazed. Ge Quan and Yang Baishun were even more bewildered, struggling to comprehend why they had only obtained a few tattered paintings when even a Golden Core Cultivator would covet such a storage bag.
Was this truly a case of squandering wealth?
For a moment, all three were at a loss.
"Hahahaha..."
After a full three hours, Ye Kai finally burst into laughter, the kind that came from genuine delight, almost unabashed in his joy.
Forty-two landscape paintings!!!
After careful examination, he had finally uncovered a hint of the secret behind these landscape paintings—or perhaps just a clue.
Originally, these landscape paintings merely appeared to be the work of some renowned master, which was why Ye Kai had chosen to collect them. However, he never expected that within these scrolls lay an even deeper mystery.
Recalling what Ge Quan and Yang Baishun had mentioned about the Demon-Banishing Orb, he found it both amusing and infuriating. Thankfully, he hadn’t taken their claims about the orb too seriously.
As for whether the so-called Demon-Banishing Orb truly existed, he couldn't say. But these Forty-Two Landscape Paintings were indeed an enigmatic treasure; perhaps they could be aptly named the Demon-Subduing Painting.
Indeed.
They were treasures.
When more than seven paintings were gathered together, subtle ripples would emanate from all the Landscape Paintings. If one wasn’t attentive, it would be easily overlooked.
Yet Ye Kai already possessed forty-two of them. When placed together, an extraordinary aura suddenly erupted, startling him.
The Demon-Banishing Orb consisted of forty-nine orbs; could it be that the Landscape Paintings also amounted to forty-nine?
What can be gained by coming together?
Inheritance?
The Reverse Technique, an unparalleled treasure?
Or perhaps, simply a certain immortal's Cave?
I truly look forward to it!!!
……
"What happened?!"
Faced with Ye Kai's unusual demeanor, Ge Quan and the others dared not ask. They merely continued to eat and drink, even pulling in Wolf Cypress. They had no idea what was going on with Yang Baishun, but after spending several hours together, the three had become as close as brothers.
However, at this moment, the three of them stood up and walked over to Ye Kai, staring into the dim Underground Passage. They asked in a low voice, "Is someone coming?"
"Yes, someone is coming. But whether it's a person or if they are still alive is another matter..."
As Ye Kai experienced more, he became accustomed to facing any situation with calmness.
Not to mention the overwhelming power he now possessed that sent shivers down the spines of the other three; his composure and resilience seemed capable of overcoming any hardship or danger, enough to draw attention.
Yet at this moment, he actually displayed a serious expression, which was far from normal.
"We should go!"
After a moment of tension in his Dual Eyes, Ye Kai added another sentence. Although he did not explain why, his robe billowed dramatically as he swiftly gathered the rapidly approaching Nano Flying Insects.
Immediately, he turned around without a glance at the three and swiftly dashed toward the passage behind him.
At the same time, just as he leaped into the passage, hundreds of paper talismans and nearly twenty powerful grenades were hurled out in one go.
"I give you a kind warning: the things I've left behind will completely destroy this hall in a moment... And if you don't want to die a miserable death, you should run!!!"
His indifferent voice echoed in the Spacious Hall, causing the three who were still hesitating to change their expressions drastically.
A kind warning?
This place will be utterly destroyed in a moment?
A miserable death if they stayed?
So, something terrifying was about to happen here?
Should they believe it?
Was that man's word worth trusting?
