Unimpeded, Zhao Di easily passed through this layer of purple light curtain and came to a natural underground stone cave.

  A skull wearing a purple robe, sitting cross-legged, an ancient and mysterious small-scale magic array filled with dust, apart from this, there is nothing else special in this not-so-large stone cave.

  "This is an ancient teleportation array!" Zhao had yet to make another move when a faintly surprised voice echoed in his mind.

  "Is this probably the remains of Ximen's scattered people in the main population?" Youlan also said softly.

  Zhao nodded, if this skeleton appeared here, then it was very likely that it was the remains of Ximen Sanren!

  He used his divine sense to repeatedly examine the skeleton, then bowed to it, and walked forward without hesitation, carefully picking up a storage bag beside the skeleton.

  Zhao Di's mood was also very tense at this moment, whether the treasure was important to him or not was not the most important thing, what was more crucial was whether there was a method behind the ninth layer of Hunyuan Jue, which directly affected whether his cultivation could continue.

  He subtly infused a thread of spiritual energy into the storage bag, and the storage bag was opened with a small mouth. His divine consciousness also entered the storage bag in an instant.

  Zhao Di's face showed a joyful expression, he turned the storage bag upside down, and all the items inside were poured out, suspended in mid-air about a foot in front of him.

  Two jade slips, one of which looks exceptionally ancient, a few pieces of minerals with different textures and colors that shine with spiritual light, and an old-fashioned token made of white jade. That's all there is in the storage bag.

  Zhao Di let out a light breath, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed his emotions, and then pointed with his finger. The ancient jade slip fell straight into his hand.

  "This... these few things are actually the rumored..." Yu Lan softly exclaimed, but when she saw Zhao Di holding the jade slip, she didn't dare to disturb him again.

  Zhao Di Zheng used his divine consciousness to immerse himself in this jade slip, slowly extracting the graphic and textual information within.

  His face grew more and more serious, finally furrowing his brow in a look of puzzlement.

  "This is actually a jade slip that records many ancient array methods, unfortunately I don't understand most of them. You can take a look if you're interested, You Ruo!" Zhao Di said softly.

  "Primordial Array Formation?" A beautiful young girl with a semi-transparent gauze, curvaceous and revealing, suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Di. One hand covered her chest, while the other grasped the ancient jade slip, quietly studying it.

  Zhao Di then locked his target on another jade slip, his expression becoming serious.

  "Old man Ximen, born in the Great Zhou Kingdom's Lu State Yanggu County, from the Xi Men family of a small immortal clan. Due to having poor five-spirit roots, he left his family at a young age and ventured into the Immortal Realm alone..."

  The first half of this jade volume is a detailed account by Ximen Pifu of his own life and origins.

  As a Five Spirit Root, he and Zhao Di have some similarities. Both of them were born into small immortal families and were abandoned due to their poor innate talents. Unlike Zhao Di's unexpected encounter with the Qian Kun Bao Ding, Xi Men San Ren left his family not long after and was surprisingly taken in by a self-proclaimed "Hun Yuan Zi" who was a high-level cultivator at the Golden Core stage, and became his disciple, passing on to him the "Hun Yuan Jue" technique.

  It's not just him, this Hunyuanzi also accepted twenty or thirty disciples, all of whom have the qualifications of Wulinggen. On the other hand, this Hunyuanzi himself has extremely good spiritual roots and qualifications, and is not a Wulinggen cultivator at all, nor can he cultivate the "Hunyuan Jue".

  Hunyuanzi was very strict with his disciples, never allowing them to go out. Every day, they could only cultivate bitterly, but he was also extremely generous. Various spiritual pills and medicines were almost constantly distributed to the many disciples. Moreover, the Hunyuan Jue was actually a top-grade cultivation technique specifically for Five-Spirit Root cultivators, so including Ximen Sanren, seven or eight of his disciples successfully built their foundations with the help of the Zhudi Dan.

  Among these seven or eight disciples, Ximen Sanren was the most diligent in his cultivation and had good luck. He was the first to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, deeply gaining the appreciation of Hunyuanzi and receiving even more attention.

  Under the powerful cultivation of Hunyuanzi and sufficient spiritual medicine supplement, Ximen Sanren's cultivation soared, and soon after Hunyuanzi condensed his yuan infant, he also broke through the bottleneck of forming a dan, becoming a dan-forming period cultivator.

  After the Dan was broken, Xi Men San Ren still spent every day in meditation and cultivation, relying on his master Hun Yuan Zi's endless supply of spiritual medicine to continuously improve his cultivation.

  However, there was once when the Hunyuanzi left without warning and didn't return to his cave for decades. During this time, Ximen the Wanderer inadvertently discovered the truth about how he became an apprentice!

  It turned out that this Hunyuanzi needed to achieve a certain goal, and he had to rely on the help of a late-stage Jiedan cultivator who possessed the Hunyuan divine light. However, due to his own spiritual root talent, he was unable to cultivate the Hunyuan divine light himself. Therefore, he specially cultivated a group of five-spirit-root cultivators, including Ximen Sanren.

  Moreover, although the purpose of the mixed yuanzi is not very clear, it can be confirmed that once the purpose is achieved, he will unhesitatingly get rid of these apprentices to kill and silence them in order to keep secrets!

  Those five spiritual root cultivators who were too slow in their progress had long been eliminated by Hunyuanzi.

  Ximen Zhenren, who knew the truth, spent over ten years attacking the layered restrictions of Hunyuanzi's cave mansion and finally opened a gap to escape.

  Afterwards, he continued to cultivate while evading the pursuit of Hunyuanzi, narrowly escaping his clutches several times.

  Once, while seriously injured and hiding everywhere, he unexpectedly discovered the ancient teleportation array leading from the Great Zhou to the extraterrestrial sea area, as well as the body of an ancient cultivator next to the array, and obtained this teleportation order, which teleported him to a deserted island in the No. 5 Island Sea Area.

  Knowing that his injuries were too severe and his lifespan was not long, Ximen Sanren carefully arranged this cave mansion with the transmission array as its core. He wanted to find a cultivator who met the conditions to inherit his skills and legacy, and repeatedly instructed him that if he could find an opportunity to surpass Ximen Sanren's cultivation, he would have to avenge him and rescue the Five Spirits Root cultivators who were deceived. Because he couldn't provide too much support such as elixirs for the "fated person", he was very strict in screening the conditions, requiring not only a Five Spirits Root cultivator in the foundation-building period but also one with exceptional strength to contend against fifth-grade demon beasts.

  Only a master who satisfies these abnormal conditions can reach the height that Sima Zuo cannot reach and fulfill his wish.

  Because the Ximen Scatterperson's Gongfa of "Hunyuan Jue" only has nine layers, if a person with fate is not another kind of fate, at most it will be the same as his cultivation after the later period of Guandan, and it is impossible to produce any idea for a Yuanying cultivator who has been cultivating for many years!

  The latter part of the Jade Simplified is a method for refining a treasure called "Mixed Yuan Seven Star Sword". According to Simen Sanren, this was created by him after he comprehended the ancient array method jade simplified left behind by an ancient cultivator and combined it with the characteristics of the Mixed Yuan Technique. It's a method that uses the way of arrays to refine a unique treasure that matches the Mixed Yuan Technique. As for whether it can be successful, he also doesn't have much confidence.

  However, although Xi Men San Ren didn't stay in the Star Ocean Domain for long, relying on the mysterious power of Hunyuan Jue, his cultivation far surpassed that of his peers. He was able to collect some materials without any scruples, and indeed obtained a few pieces of ore with different colors from the storage bag.

  Ximen's scattered people mentioned in the Jade Simplified that this Hunyuan Seven-Star Sword is because all the required materials are extremely rare and precious, he cannot collect them all in his lifetime, nor can he really refine this treasure.

  However, he firmly believed that once this treasure was refined, only cultivators who had practiced the Hunyuan Jue technique could use it. Moreover, when combined with the Hunyuan Jue, its power would be boundless, and it would be absolutely possible to sweep away cultivators of the same rank, let alone those of a lower rank.

  Apart from remembering the hatred for that Mixed Yuan child, Ximen Sanren's greatest concern is this Mixed Yuan Seven Stars Sword. If a "fated person" can finally refine this treasure, it would also fulfill one of his wishes. His spirit in heaven will also feel very comforted.

  Zhao Di's face remained gloomy as he read the jade slip word by word, finally flicking it lightly and tossing it back into the air. He let out a long sigh, shaking his head at the skeleton and muttering to himself: "You only brought out the first nine layers of the Hunyuan Technique's methods, how can you expect me to condense my yuan infant and help you avenge your grievances? Even if I agreed to do this, my strength is insufficient, it would be pointless!" His disappointment was evident in his words.

  Youlan saw Zhao Di in this state and also appeared, picking up the jade slip that had just been discarded by Zhao Di, and became suspicious.
