Surprised at this moment, Xuan Lao actually woke up, but soon, his words left Ye Feng confused. "Carrying Exotic Treasure? What treasure? How come I don't know about it?"
"Xuan Lao, can you be a bit clearer?" Xuan Lao's way of speaking is often quite cryptic! It seems that one must not take him lightly just because he uses the word 'mysterious.'
However, as soon as Ye Feng voiced his doubts, he heard Xuan Lao's frustrated voice in his mind: "You really are an idiot! Don't you know what you have in your arms?"
Ye Feng frowned; he wasn't carrying anything! But then he remembered that earlier on the high platform, he had collected a seemingly ordinary banner! Cheng Ze and the others hadn't noticed anything unusual about it, but he knew it had some extraordinary qualities!
Could it be that the banner truly possessed some mysterious power? Shocked, Ye Feng didn't immediately take out the banner but asked again, "Xuan Lao, are you talking about that banner? But how should I use it?"
He wasn't reckless enough to pull it out right away; there were concerns about that. He couldn't just wave it around! No matter how he looked at it, the terrifying miasma that filled the sky could not be so easily dispelled!
Xuan Lao no longer beat around the bush and patiently explained: "I can't be sure what exactly that banner is, but I can sense that it should be related to Ancient Times and the legendary Witch God’s artifact—the Soul Guiding Banner!"
"Soul Guiding Banner? What is that?" Ye Feng was even more confused! It sounded quite impressive!
Xuan Lao continued to guide him: "It is said that the Soul Guiding Banner has the power to capture spirits and guide souls. In Ancient Times, although human cultivators had evolved to occupy the heavenly realm, they were not particularly remarkable at that time. Most ascended by relying on extraordinary items born from the chaos of creation!"
"Those extraordinary items from that time were impossible to investigate; they could only be described as gifts from heaven. Each of these items possessed terrifying abilities, and generally speaking, whoever encountered them would claim them. Of course, there were also many large-scale conflicts over those who possessed Exotic Treasures!"
"Many ancient texts passed down from ancient times recorded this. They euphemistically referred to it as the wrath of the gods, but in reality, it was just dark infighting. The Soul Guiding Banner was obtained by the ancient figure known as Witch God through a Divine Beast!"
"It was thanks to this Divine Beast that Witch God's name became known in the heavenly realm. Of course, you young ones wouldn't know about events from that era. I can sense some remnants of ancient energy in the banner you possess; even if it's not the Soul Guiding Banner, it's at least its Mother Banner!"
After this explanation, Ye Feng gained a deeper understanding of more secrets from Ancient Times. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that even after ten thousand years of evolution, humanity's dark side of scheming against each other hadn't dissipated. However, he soon had no time to ponder!
The Soul Destruction Rampage unleashed by the demon race Bailuo sounded incredibly powerful, but those terrifying miasmas spread very slowly. Yet even slowly, this deep space was almost completely occupied; it wouldn't be long before everyone would be engulfed!
Cheng Ze and the others had retreated to a corner where he could not see. Lan Yuanfeng sighed beside him, saying, "Young friend, it seems that the Old Man cannot escape death. It is what it is; the treasures of the Underground Palace are not something mere mortals can obtain. The Old Man has lived for over a hundred years and witnessed too much life and death, yet he still hasn't been able to walk the path of greatness!"
He sensed that the other party seemed to be speaking from the heart and could not help but say, "Lan Manor Master, everyone makes mistakes at times. The most important thing is to recognize and correct them. Your choice to help instead of fleeing in a moment of crisis proves that your intentions are not too bad!"
This was indeed true. Lan Yuanfeng had regained a certain level of power, and the protective Cheng Ze and others could not hold him back. During the battle between Bailuo and Ye Feng, he could have easily escaped to continue pursuing his goals regarding the Underground Palace, but he chose not to!
After listening to Ye Feng's advice, Lan Yuanfeng shook his head with a bitter smile and said nothing more, seemingly resigned to his fate. Ye Feng did not reveal that he might have a way to resolve this crisis; instead, he kept a watchful eye and began to probe indirectly:
"Lan Manor Master, you have been determined to pursue the secrets within this Underground Palace. Now that there seems to be no possibility left, could you tell me directly if what you seek is the power of the ancient Titans?"
This matter had always been a question in his mind. If it remained unresolved, he would feel that the disciples who died on Yue Ma Plain were too wronged!
Lan Yuanfeng did not expect that Ye Feng knew about this Underground Palace being called Titan. He was even less aware that Ye Feng knew much more than he did, but there were certainly some things he did not know!
Facing his impending demise, Lan Yuanfeng seemed to let go of all his obsessions and said somewhat wistfully, "Young friend, our chance encounter and battles leading to cooperation can be considered fate. The Old Man will tell you this: the greatest secret within Titan's Abyss is not the power of the Titan race!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was taken aback but still calmed himself to listen quietly!
Seeing the miasma approaching, Lan Yuanfeng hastened his words: "I discovered this Underground Palace several decades ago. For decades, regardless of its size, I have uncovered many things. I know this Underground Palace is a seal, with the ancient giant sealed at its center!"
"However, that place was never what I truly sought. What I really wanted to find were the four corners of this Underground Palace; those four places hold its true treasures!"
This statement immediately piqued Ye Feng's interest. Listening to Lan Yuanfeng speak like this made him realize that although he knew roughly about the origins of the Underground Palace, Lan Yuanfeng still pursued its power within. Thus, these four places must hold significant importance!
Lan Yuanfeng continued explaining: "These four corners are difficult to locate; they seem hidden by some secret method. But once found, whether for cultivators or martial artists, they will gain tremendous opportunities because those four places are the true focal points of the Underground Palace! And at those focal points lies an ancient Divine Beast!"
"What?" Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief! The other party's statement began to contradict the explanation given by the Haotian Shura True Monarch within the Mural World! According to that True Lord Avatar's words, he himself was the only focal point of the formation, overseeing and sealing the entire Underground Palace!
However, Lan Yuanfeng's words completely overturned this conclusion! Just as he was about to clarify, the devouring Miasma released by the demon race's Bailuo left them no time!
The Miasma was right before them! The situation was critical! Ye Feng gritted his teeth, planning to take out the Soul Guiding Banner regardless of everything, when Xuan Lao unexpectedly spoke up at that moment: "Using this banner is quite simple. You just need to take it out, recognize it with your Soul Thought, and pour in your Spirit Essence to activate it!"
"When the time comes, it will unleash its divine power. Those Miasma, if you look closely, are actually just the remnants of indestructible souls!"
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and focused on the Miasma. Up close, he indeed noticed shadows of ghostly faces flickering within the Miasma! However, they were deeply concealed; without specific conditions, it would be hard to detect!
But at this moment, Xuan Lao got to his main point!
"However, I think you can temporarily refrain from using it! In fact, this Miasma released is not controlled by the one who unleashed it; at most, it's just a pull. They don't have enough power to control such terrifying Miasma; the Miasma itself is unconscious."
"The resentment of those souls gathers together with the sole purpose of devouring everything in sight. The reason that demon race stands within their Purple Pentagram and does not take further action is because the Purple Pentagram's confinement is protecting them!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized. He had been puzzled as to why Bailuo could attack alongside the Miasma. If he truly did that, he wouldn't have time to waste talking so much nonsense with Lan Yuanfeng! However, he seemed to sense that Xuan Lao wanted to convey more than just this!
Time was pressing; he couldn't help but send a voice transmission: "Xuan Lao, what exactly do you want to express?"
"Calling you an Idiot and you still don't believe it! I've said so much and you still don't understand; what I mean is that you don't need to rush to use it. Withdraw your mind as much as possible and wait until there's nowhere left to retreat before using it!"
"But why?" Ye Feng still didn't understand. He could clearly resolve the current crisis right now; why wait? His question completely drove Xuan Lao mad!
"Idiot plus foolishness! Unless you don't want to learn more information from this old man's mouth, otherwise! You should use it now! I don't have time to waste with you. If I weren't worried about you dying soon, I wouldn't even bother speaking up. Remember! Don't ask any more nonsense! I'm still recovering; be smart!"
After finishing his words, no matter how much Ye Feng called out, Xuan Lao remained silent again. It seemed he was either angered or had fallen asleep once more!
The time they spent conversing was actually not long! At this moment, Lan Yuanfeng was also retreating step by step. Fortunately, the space of this architectural ruin deep within the Underground Palace was large enough, and the encroachment of the Miasma could not quickly cover the entire area!
This provided everyone with a moment to catch their breath!
Having heard Xuan Lao's hint, Ye Feng also began to retreat slowly while tentatively asking, "Lan Manor Master, do you mean that in those four corner positions, there might be treasures left behind by the Ancient Times Divine Sect that sealed the Titan race?"
Lan Yuanfeng nodded and couldn't help but express his regret, saying, "Unfortunately, for decades, this Old Man has exhausted all the resources of the manor and only managed to narrow it down to four directions. The specifics still remain unclear!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng had an epiphany. He thought that perhaps it was due to these decades of draining Blue Stream Villa's resources that Lan Yuanfeng no longer had time to waste and resorted to a desperate scheme by leveraging the crisis on Yue Ma Plain!
However, what Ye Feng did not know was that the complexity of these four corner positions exceeded his imagination, as even the demons hidden here for a hundred years had failed to find them using the Evil Cult as cannon fodder!
Lan Yuanfeng continued to express his regret, saying, "Now, I have no thoughts left regarding those four corner positions. If you are interested, young friend, I will speak frankly; it’s really nothing significant—just northeast, northwest, southeast, and Nanxi."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng showed a look of astonishment. He finally understood why Blue Stream Villa had been unable to find them for so many years. At first glance, searching for the four corner positions seemed easy; however, he had thought that these positions should be precise down to approximate coordinates!
Unexpectedly, they were merely four directions! These four directions fell within the vast Titan's Abyss. Although they could be distinguished, finding the corresponding accurate corners was akin to searching for a needle in a haystack!
