Mysterious mirror hanging high

Thinking of this, Jing Yu pondered and said, "There is indeed a way out of this problem, but it will take dozens or even hundreds of years. I wonder if Master Yuanji can wait that long?"

"A hundred years? That..." Yuanji said in embarrassment, "The lifespan of ancient Buddhists was short to begin with. Although a hundred years has not yet reached its end, it is still a bit too long."

Yunding Tianjun said at this time: "I can show you, little monk, a way out."

"Oh? What advice do you have for me, senior?" Jing Yu had an idea and asked for Yuanji first.

"Have you forgotten that there's a Yuanying Zhenjun of the Gongsun clan imprisoned underground in this Liquan Mansion?"

Yunding Tianjun said leisurely, "Among the eight great families of the Divine Tripod, the Gongsun family is the one responsible for crafting ritual vessels and gathering incense for the Divine Tripod Imperial Clan... If the Gongsun family truly left behind any treasures, they would surely include treasures related to incense."

"Concubine Duan?"

Jing Yu frowned and said, "She may not really reveal the whereabouts of the treasure left by the Gongsun family."

"You have to give it a try, right?"

"Alright."

Jing Yu nodded and turned to the Jade Buddha, saying, "Let's go and test it out first. If this route doesn't work and you need it urgently, we can go and snatch some more Jindan-level [County Governor Seals]. If the quality isn't up to par, we can take some in quantity. Who knows, we might be able to meet your needs."

"The incense quality of the [County Magistrate's Seal] is too low, I'm afraid it won't be of much use." Yuanji sighed.

Jing Yu put the deceased Jade Buddha's incarnation into his arms, then walked to the courtyard where Concubine Duan was imprisoned, went down to the underground palace, and saw this poor woman who was imprisoned and tortured.

"What? Boy, are you planning to take on the responsibility of killing [Ying Shigui]?"

Toffee Duan slowly opened her eyes and grinned.

Jing Yu said calmly, "Does the treasure left behind by the Gongsun family that you mentioned still count?"

"It counts, of course it counts."

Concubine Duan laughed softly and said:

"I can tell you the location of the treasure in advance. You can go and get it by swearing a vow to your inner demon... After a few years, when you are able to do so, just remember to kill Ying Shigui."

"She's lying!"

At this moment, a resentful voice sounded from Jing Yu's sea of ​​consciousness. It was the soul of Ying Wuyi who had slowly awakened. He gritted his teeth and said:

"When the Gongsun clan was exterminated, they didn't leave behind any treasures..."

"After my father massacred the entire Gongsun clan, he dug three feet underground, but he couldn't find any treasure..."

"This bitch has been imprisoned until now. Even the Divine Transformation Lord has searched her memory thoroughly... but to no avail."

"The reason I imprisoned her here was purely to torture this bitch, not to force her to reveal any fabricated treasure!"

Concubine Duan seemed to have heard Ying Wuyi's voice as well. Her eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the four black iron chains suddenly tightened. She howled madly:

"Evil beast, evil beast... Give me the soul of that evil beast!"

Jing Yu and Yuan Ji exchanged a glance, wondering, "Could it be that the so-called Gongsun Clan Treasure really doesn't exist?"

"Logically speaking, Concubine Duan is the only legitimate descendant of the Gongsun Clan left. If the Gongsun Clan truly has a backup plan, it must be this person."

Yunding Tianjun pondered and said:

"But since even the soul search of the God Transformation Heavenly Monarch didn't find anything, then it's probably gone."

"Not necessarily."

Yuanji retorted, "The Gongsun family is one of the Eight Great Families of the Divine Cauldron, after all, and they have a deep and profound foundation. If they truly had a backup plan, why wouldn't they have anticipated the Spiritual Transformation Heavenly Monarch's soul search? Knowing that Concubine Duan couldn't withstand the soul search, yet still giving her clues to the treasure? Isn't that simply aiding the enemy?"

"Perhaps they have some method to 'hide' this memory that contains clues to the treasure."

"Even if it's true as you said, do you have a way to find the hidden memories?" Jing Yu frowned.

The incarnation of the deceased Jade Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "I can give it a try."

"You little monk are boasting again." Yunding Tianjun sneered, "My sworn enemies, who are also at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, are helpless. What can a mere Jindan junior like you do?"

"If your realm is not enough, you can make up for it with treasures."

The Jade Buddha smiled and rubbed its belly, which was as shiny as mutton-fat jade. It opened its mouth and spit out a net bag woven from nearly transparent silk threads, shaking it in front of Jing Yu.

"[Dreamcatcher]...is originally a treasure used to collect and purify willpower, but it can also be driven by secret techniques to lure people into dreams and awaken their deepest subconscious."

Jing Yu's mouth twitched, and he transmitted a voice: "Is this also a subsidy from the [Cihang Palace]?"

"That's right." Yuanji nodded silently and said quietly, "Just watch the Xuanjing."

After saying that, the Jade Buddha incarnation threw the miniature net bag in his hand out and covered it over Concubine Duan's head, muttering something in his mouth, as if chanting some magic formula...

Although Concubine Duan was a True Lord of the Nascent Soul Realm, her cultivation was now abolished. Not only her magic power, but also her physical body, Dharma body, and divine consciousness were suppressed. At this time, she was even worse than a mortal. Naturally, she could not withstand the spell of Nirvana. Her eyelids gradually became heavy, and the hysterical howling gradually stopped. Finally, she collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.

After a few minutes, a faint, almost invisible ray of light flew out from the back of Concubine Duan's head. Yuanji's eyes lit up, and he activated the [Dream Catcher] to catch the light and refine it in an instant.

"How is it?" Jing Yu asked.

"It's confirmed. The head of the Gongsun clan has indeed hidden the memories of Concubine Duan regarding the whereabouts of the treasure."

Yuanji swallowed the Dreamcatcher back into the Jade Buddha's belly and said with a smile, "I now know where the Gongsun family's treasure is hidden."

Jing Yu envied him, "You're quite brave! This jade Buddha, the place where the soul resides, seems to have a weak aura and its combat power is questionable...How dare you sneak into Shen Ding Heaven with so many valuable treasures? Aren't you afraid that the treasures will be left behind in the cave?"

"Don't worry. The treasures distributed by the Immortal Palace have already completely recognized their masters. If we encounter danger and my incarnation is destroyed, these precious treasures will automatically break through the void, forcibly tear through the wall of the cave heaven, and return to the hands of my real body in this world. Not even a Divine Transformation cultivator can stop them."

Yuanji raised his chin and said, "The Gongsun clan's treasure hiding place is really tricky. No wonder the Divine Cauldron Imperial Clan hasn't found it after all these years."

"Where is the treasure?"

"Ancestral Temple!"

Yuanji said with certainty, "It's hidden in the place where the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty worships the Heavenly Ancestor... in the [Mountain and River Cauldron] within the Imperial Temple!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Unexpectedly, Yunding Tianjun shook his head and said, "The Mountain and River Cauldron in the Taimiao is not a magical treasure. It is simply a sacrificial ritual vessel. It has no special magical properties. Although it was forged by the Gongsun family, it was placed there three thousand years ago when I was still alive. If there was anything special about it, it would have been discovered long ago. Why would it wait until now?"

"Besides, tampering with sacrificial vessels, especially at a place with such special imagery as the Imperial Ancestral Temple, is a grave crime of deceiving the emperor. At that time, the Gongsun clan was considered quite loyal... Could it be that they had been planning this thousands of years ago, devising a retreat plan?
