"Yu Lan, from this ancient book, it seems that the Hai Men sect was indeed a major sect before, who would have thought that after thousands of years, it would decline to such an extent!"

  At this time, Zhao Di had transformed into a blue light and was flying over the sea near Island No. 5.

  There was no one around him, he was conversing with his divine consciousness and the ghost slaves in his body.

  Two years ago, Zhao Di consolidated his foundation in the early stages of Golden Elixir cultivation and did not rush to leave the cave.

  His spiritual beast, Ice Wind Python, had actually started to shed its skin and advance again after thirty years of cultivation due to consuming a large amount of Fourth-Grade Vermilion Snake Pills! Moreover, this advancement was exceptionally smooth, and several months later, the Ice Wind Python successfully shed its skin once more, becoming a genuine Fourth-Grade Demonic Beast, comparable to the cultivation of a human cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

  Although the Icewind Serpent's body size hasn't changed much, the small horns on its head have become keratinized and are very hard, but they're only two or three inches long and not very noticeable.

  As for whether the advanced Ice Wind Python had other divine abilities, Zhao Di did not test them one by one, but instead let the Ice Wind Python quietly cultivate and consolidate its cultivation.

  For a spiritual beast, advancing to the level of a fourth-level demon beast in less than a hundred years is indeed too rapid! The divine abilities of a demon beast are mostly related to its body. If it advances too quickly, the physical progress and changes cannot keep up, not only will it fail to exert its due strength, but it may also leave behind some hidden dangers.

  His spiritual beast is a variant of the ice and wind dual attributes, and it's also the strongest and most potential dragon clan! He can't afford to ruin its immeasurable potential just because he wants his spiritual beast to advance too quickly.

  Then he used this period of time to refine the two treasures obtained from the Ximen Scattered People's Cave Mansion, a cyan jade ruler and a golden small bell.

  The azure-colored jade ruler is called Emerald Liquid, a wooden attribute magic treasure that can transform everything within a hundred feet into countless shadows of green leaves when used, and is a type of magic treasure that leans towards illusory attacks.

  The golden small bell named Xin is a gold attribute treasure that can emit deafening sounds and also launch silent and invisible sonic attacks, tending to attack the opponent's mind rather than their physical body.

  These two treasures are auxiliary-type treasures, with infinite uses, but their attack power is not outstanding. If Zhao Di were to use the high-grade spiritual artifact, Sky Piercer, at full strength now, its might would surpass these two treasures by a margin.

  Therefore, Zhao Di did not treat these two treasures as his lifeblood or cultivate them as his most precious treasures.

  A Nascent Soul stage cultivator isn't able to infinitely absorb and transform magical treasures into their own life-destined treasures. Due to the influence of the dantian space and one's own cultivation, generally speaking, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can only have one or two life-destined treasures; any more would be unable to be accommodated.

  Generally speaking, Jindan period cultivators usually use the most powerful or the most compatible magic treasure with their main cultivation method as their life-bound magic treasure, rather than pursuing a large number of life-bound magic treasures. However, for most Jindan cultivators, they only have one or two magic treasures at most. Because the cost of refining each magic treasure is more than ten times that of top-grade artifacts, it's not something that can be possessed in large quantities.

  After becoming relatively proficient in using the Emerald Ruler and the Bewildering Clock, Zhao carefully took out the jade box containing the Soul-Gathering Bead.

  Zhao Di set up a small Soul-Fixing Array in the quiet room, then removed the talisman from the jade box, took out the Soul-Gathering Pearl and swallowed it into his dantian.

  He borrowed the innate dan fire of Hunyuan Golden Elixir in his lower abdomen to repeatedly refine the Soul Summoning Pearl, spending months of hard work. Finally, he thoroughly refined the Soul Summoning Pearl and could summon the twin sister flower ghosts at any time.

  However, after refining the Soul Sacrifice Pearl, his divine sense did not seem to increase. It was unclear whether it was because his divine sense was originally strong or if the effect of the Soul Sacrifice Pearl in this aspect was too small.

  Zhaodi immediately summoned the sisters. The two sisters were still wearing half-transparent gauze, with their slender and delicate curves faintly visible, but both of them had a dazed look in their eyes, apparently having just awakened from a long sleep, and were still somewhat disoriented.

  After a period of rest and recovery, both finally recovered and reported their origins to Zhao Di.

  These two sisters are also people with a hard life, because their souls have been refined by others and they have been in the soul vessel for many years, more than half of their memories have been lost, including all memories related to their own lives, there is no clue at all, only some basic situations about the cultivation world before birth can be vaguely remembered.

  The names of the two sisters are Youlan and Youruo, who are indeed twin sisters. The elder sister, Youlan, was born just a little earlier than her younger sister, Youruo.

  Neither of them remembered what they had cultivated before, nor what kind of technique they had practiced. Moreover, at this time, both of them were ghostly bodies and could no longer cultivate the techniques of human cultivators. Judging from the current sister's ghostly power, it was probably equivalent to the middle stage of foundation building.

  Because they had thoroughly refined the Jishen Pearl, the thoughts of the two sisters were completely reflected in it. Therefore, Zhao Di also believed that the two did not lie, but truly asked three unknowns!

  He didn't think much of it and accepted the two sisters as ghost slaves, only hoping to have a reliable assistant who could do some miscellaneous tasks such as guarding the cave during his usual meditation, and did not expect them to provide much help.

  In the fifth year after the Dan was closed, Zhao Di brought out the already fourth-level demon beast Ice Wind Python and the sisters You Lan and You Ruo, broke through the barrier and prepared to go to the cave mansion of West Gate Scattered Person, attempting to enter that one layer of restriction that had always been unable to be opened.

  No matter when, improving one's own strength is the most important thing. This is Zhao Di's experience after entering the Xianxia world for many years, so after leaving the customs, his first goal was to choose the fifth island of Wai Xingchen.

  However, at the entrance of the cave mansion, when Chen Shuiyi, a young girl in the early stages of building her foundation, mentioned "Hehai Gate", her sister Youlan suddenly remembered some fragmented memories. It seemed that she had heard of Hehai Gate before, and at that time it was a sect with no small power. As for other more content, she couldn't remember clearly.

  When the information was directly reflected in Zhao Di's mind, he became slightly interested in the Hehai Gate where the girl was located, so he waited quietly for a moment, waiting for the appearance of Old Man Ma.

  Unfortunately, the old man didn't provide any meaningful clues and only spoke a few irrelevant words. He then went straight to the market town to look up some relevant information through books.

  Apart from this, there is little information about "book volume breath" and "killing energy", which he also grasps very little, it is necessary to deeply understand one or two.

  He rummaged through the bookshop for a while and finally found some clues about Hegemon's Gate in an ancient jade slip.

  According to the jade slip, Hehai Gate was indeed a well-known large sect in Xingchen Sea thousands of years ago. There were even a pair of late-stage Yuan Ying cultivator couples who appeared in the gate. However, after reaching its peak and declining, since that couple, Hehai Gate has been declining day by day. The number of Yuan Ying stage cultivators has become fewer and fewer, and finally, no Yuan Ying stage cultivators have appeared for thousands of years, completely becoming a small sect in Xingchen Sea.

  Hei Men's downfall was so sudden, and there was no mention of it in Yu Jian. Zhao Di didn't intend to investigate the reason behind this either.

  The cultivation of these two sisters before their death, he didn't dare to confirm, but the cultivation should not be too high. Therefore, the decline of Hehai Gate has little to do with them. Since that's the case, he lost interest in Hehai Gate.

  "Yes, Master. I, Youlan, only recall that there is such a sect, but I don't have a familiar feeling about it. It seems to be unrelated to my sisters' and my origins. Sorry to make you waste your effort in searching!" The apologetic voice of the young girl echoed in Zhao Di's mind.

  "I'm just doing it incidentally, I originally had a lot of things that needed to be inquired about anyway!" Zhao Di responded similarly in his mind.

  "What information does the master want to find? Although Yu Rou's memory recovery is not as good as her sister's, she can occasionally recall some fragments!" Yu Rou also said in Zhao Di's mind with a gentle voice.
