Yinshan Record

Chapter 160 The Remnant Spirit of the Azure Emperor
Wuzhiqi lay quietly in the room, his mind replaying recent events in a blur.

Everything seemed to have gone off like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins ever since the Black Mountain Monster was born.

Disguised as a dancer, she unexpectedly encountered someone with a penchant for eroticism; she didn't know whether this was good or bad luck.

Zhongyuan will soon be assigning new missions; I wonder where he'll be going to kill and set fires this time.

As he pondered this, he heard the wooden door creak open.

Seeing the person walk in, Wu Zhiqi carefully got out of bed and greeted him as "Young Master".

Su Che frowned and looked at him.

How could you be so careless?

"what?"

"Disguise isn't impossible, so how did you manage to be recognized so easily?"

This kid saw through my change.

Since Wuzhiqi mastered the Eight-Nine Yuan Gong, his transformations have rarely been observed. Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, he simply stopped pretending and reached out to pull out the Locking Mountain Iron Cudgel.

As soon as he tried to circulate his energy, he felt numb all over, unable to concentrate his mind, and his whole body felt limp.

This……

"Not only did he get exposed, but he also so easily inhaled such a potent drug as the Crimson Serpent's Essence. How could he possibly survive traveling the martial world like this?"

Bitter.

Wuzhiqi let out a silent cry.

Zhu Sherui's domineering nature is well known among cultivators.

This drug originated from the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect. It is said to be mixed with demonic and witchcraft techniques, and it works on the soul. Anyone below the level of a Longevity Immortal who gets even a little bit of it will feel numb all over for two or three days.

Even if I manage to save my head today, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my backside.

His spirit gradually stagnates, and the changes from the Eight-Nine Yuan Technique gradually fade away, finally revealing Wuzhiqi's true form.

A short, wiry man sat on the bed wearing a rather oversized green silk robe. His face was seven parts human and three parts like an old ape.

"You little rascal, you really do have a bit of an innocent look."

Su Che gave a half-hearted compliment.

Wuzhiqi's face turned ashen, and he called out in a low voice.

"Friend, please allow me to say one more thing..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a wave of dizziness, and a black mist appeared before his eyes. A suction force pulled him up, and he didn't know where he was being taken.

The familiar feeling made Wuzhiqi want to shout out loud.

This feeling was exactly the same as when I entered the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden before.

Could it be that this magical artifact possesses a special spiritual power, only becoming available when faced with an immense crisis?
It seems that I will have to take many risks to obtain this treasure.

Since Wuzhiqi believed he had the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden in hand, he felt relieved.

He had witnessed the power of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

With such a magical treasure in hand, unless the Immortal of Longevity comes to kill, who can move Wuzhiqi in the slightest?
As the dizziness subsided, Wuzhiqi saw a grand hall filled with a warm, yang energy.

In the very center stood a furnace that emanated an aura of destruction.

The seat at the head of the table was the very jade throne that Wuzhiqi would often wake up in his dreams from.

Upon returning to this hall today, Wuzhiqi truly felt that refining this treasure back then was not his illusion, but a real and undeniable fact.

This time, we must find out why we can't control this treasure.

Wuzhiqi was about to take a step forward when he suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the jade throne.

This person was surrounded by layers of mirage, dressed in a crown robe, with a jade-hilted sword at his waist, and twelve white pearl tassels hanging down. His clothes were decorated with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, pheasants, and ancestral vessels.

He wore a blue wooden mask that resembled both a bird and a beast.

The mask gave Wuzhiqi a strange sense of familiarity.

The reason is simple: judging from its material and shape, it is similar to the masks worn by the people in the Zhongshan Society.

Could this person also be a colleague?
Or were they cultivators who were trapped in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden before?
The thought arises and vanishes instantly. This person's attire is quite similar to that of ancient times. The mask is similar to that of the Zhongshan Society because both have a distinct ancient style.

Wuzhiqi's mind raced, and he stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said...

"This junior, Wuzhiqi, pays his respects to the senior." "Wuzhiqi."

Then, Su Che, who had transformed from a mirage, gently sat down in front of the jade throne.

"You wouldn't dare reveal your real name to me?"

"What is your original name?" Wu Zhiqi asked cautiously.

"I would never dare to lie in front of a real person. May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"

"I am Wei Yangsheng."

Wei Yangsheng, he's actually Wei Yangsheng!
Wuzhiqi was greatly shocked.

Since he was vying for the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, Wuzhiqi naturally searched high and low, eventually piecing together a considerable amount of information from various ancient texts.

One of them is that the ancient Azure Emperor Lingwei Yang called himself Weiyang Sheng.

If the person in front of me is really Wei Yangsheng, then wouldn't he be a remnant of the ancient Azure Emperor's spirit that hasn't been extinguished?
This is a huge windfall.

No wonder I often couldn't sense the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden. Since the original owner's remnant spirit was not completely gone, how could I possibly control such an ancient artifact?

"Yuan Tao pays his respects to His Majesty the Azure Emperor."

As he spoke, Wuzhiqi respectfully lifted his robe and bowed down, kowtowing on the ground.

"You've certainly seen a lot."

Su Che sat upright on the jade throne, looking down at Wu Zhiqi.

"Get up. After all, you are his subordinate, so I can't make you bow to me too much."

Wuzhiqi raised his head: "I don't know what you mean by 'him'..."

"This person is fond of making up titles for himself; he should be calling himself Zhongyuan now."

Zhongyuan, he really knew Zhongyuan. This old man Zhongyuan was actually an ancient relic. He sounded quite familiar with Lingwei Yang. Could he also be one of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions?
These ancient powerful beings have emerged one after another. Could they be plotting some grand scheme?

"This disciple does not know..."

Wuzhiqi smiled wryly and said, "I suppose you, senior, can understand my predicament."

"It's good that you're keeping your mouth shut. If you could always be this careful, there would be no need for me to come and save you this time."

He really did take action to prevent me from being harmed.

"I was careless for a moment. I thank you, senior. Once I recover my powers, I will make that person pay the price."

"I've already subdued him."

Lingwei Yang looked down at Wuzhiqi and said, "Now that you know who I am, you should know about the past."

Old stories? What old stories?
Wu Zhiqi felt that the remnant spirit of the Azure Emperor in front of him seemed to have said a lot of things, but at the same time, it was as if he hadn't said anything at all.

"Since they are all still outside, I shouldn't go out either."

"The remnant spirit of the Azure Emperor, Young Master Su, said softly."

"Yuan Tao, if one day the four poles collapse, the nine provinces are torn apart, the heavens are no longer fully restored, and the earth is no longer able to sustain itself, will Wuzhiqi stand by my side?"

What is Bugu?
Wuzhiqi's mind raced for a moment before he continued.

"That's natural."

"Very good." Su Che glanced at Wuzhiqi and said, "Have you been struggling to make any progress lately?"

How did he know? Wu Zhiqi suddenly felt as if he had an extra pair of eyes that were always staring at him.

Young Master Su naturally had two versions of his story.

If Wuzhiqi says he is making rapid progress, then say that his foundation is unstable. If Wuzhiqi says that he is indeed troubled, then explain it to him.

"The Eight-Nine Yuan Technique originally came from the lineage of the Huai River Demon God. One can only find a breakthrough opportunity in a life-or-death situation."

Su Che looked at Wu Zhiqi and said, "Hone your skills in the face of life and death."

"Your disciple thanks Your Majesty."

Wuzhiqi bowed again.

"I will not keep you today. If you encounter any spiritual roots of heaven and earth in the future, keep them safe. I will call you back in the future."

With that, Su Che flicked his sleeve and flung Wu Zhiqi out of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.
