Chapter 2039: Legacy of Master Xuanfeng's Treasure

Black Glazed Water is incredibly toxic, making it perfectly suited for use as a protective barrier.

"Black Glazed Water? Xuanfeng Tower is unaffected; it must be protected by a magical formation!" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

He raised his right hand, and a light blue metallic orb, covered in spiritual runes, flew out. As he cast a spell, the runes on its surface instantly glowed brightly, and with a mechanical whirring sound, it transformed into a gigantic blue eagle with a wingspan of over ten zhang.

This was a Tier-4 puppet beast, capable of relatively fast flight.

Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal. The gigantic blue eagle gently flapped its massive wings, and its body radiated a bright blue light as a thick blue light barrier suddenly appeared, enveloping its entire form.

The blue eagle flew towards Xuanfeng Tower. As soon as it had flown a hundred zhang, blue smoke began to rise from the blue light barrier on its body, and its spiritual glow dimmed.

After advancing another hundred zhang, the blue light barrier suddenly shattered. Wisps of blue smoke rose from the blue eagle's body, and its speed decreased.

As it approached the circular stone platform, it was abruptly blocked, as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of bronze and iron.

Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal, and the blue eagle opened its mouth, spewing a large expanse of fine blue light. It struck the void, producing a series of dull thuds and causing ripple-like distortions in the air.

Wang Ruyan quickly activated her Black Phoenix Eyes. She vaguely saw a circular white light barrier near the circular stone platform, which enveloped the entire platform and also blocked the blue eagle.

Wang Changsheng controlled the blue eagle to attack the white light barrier, but it was to no avail. The blue eagle's body was already pitted and scarred, severely corroded by the Black Glazed Water.

After a short while, the blue eagle's core was severely corroded. It wobbled, then plummeted into the lake, immediately emitting blue smoke before sinking to the bottom.

Yuan Shu flipped his right hand. A golden light flashed, and a light golden jade bottle flew out. He cast a spell into it, causing the bottle to swell dramatically in size and spew forth a golden mist that enveloped the Black Glazed Water.

The Black Glazed Water remained motionless, showing no sign of being affected or swept away by the golden mist.

Yuan Shu activated his spell, and the golden jade bottle's spiritual light intensified greatly, but the result was the same: it was useless.

Yuan Shu frowned deeply. His right fist glowed with a dazzling blue light as he slammed it towards the void. The void vibrated and distorted, and a blue fist-shadow, over a hundred zhang in size, flashed out, striking the opposite side.

The blue fist-shadow was blocked as it neared the circular stone platform. A muffled thud was heard, the void vibrated and distorted, and a powerful blast of air erupted, but the result was the same: the lake surface remained calm, not a single ripple appearing.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan controlled their magic treasures to attack, but with the same result.

"Daoist Jiao," Yuan Shu said meaningfully, "don't you have that treasure capable of freezing restrictions? Just a few of those should break it."

Wang Changsheng knew Yuan Shu was referring to the Nethermoon Pearl, which indeed had extraordinary effects in breaking restrictions.

"Oh no, they're catching up!" Wang Changsheng's expression changed. His divine sense detected two powerful auras rapidly approaching their location.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies simultaneously glowed with dazzling blue light as countless blue light dots emerged, forming layers of water curtains that enveloped their entire bodies. Both of them then flew towards Xuanfeng Tower.

They had no retreat. If their pursuers were Soul Transformation cultivators, Wang Changsheng might have been confident in shaking them off, but against Void Refinement cultivators, they were helpless, being only in the Mid Soul Transformation stage themselves.

Yuan Shu also dared not be careless. He cast defensive spells on himself and flew towards Xuanfeng Tower.

Soon, they appeared near the circular stone platform. Their protective spiritual light flickered continuously, and wisps of blue smoke rose from their bodies.

"Humph, how dare you trespass into Xuanfeng Cave Heaven and even attempt to take the treasures left by Venerable Xuanfeng?" A cold, emotionless male voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as the voice fell silent, a deafening thunderclap rang out, and countless blue electric arcs emerged, suddenly coalescing into the figure of Qingyu.

Qingyu's gaze was icy, and his body was enveloped by countless blue electric arcs, radiating a heavy sense of oppression.

As soon as he appeared, a resonant male shout rang out, causing Qingyu's brows to furrow deeply and his body to tremble slightly.

With Wang Changsheng's current divine sense, combined with Wang Ruyan's, their Soul Suppressing Roar could affect even early Void Refinement cultivators. Of course, those with exceptionally strong divine sense or artifacts that counter divine sense attacks were exceptions.

Qingyu's divine sense was evidently not strong, nor did he possess any exotic treasures for self-defense.

Seizing this opportune moment, Wang Changsheng conjured the Grand Yin Bottle. He cast a spell into it, and the bottle immediately glowed brightly, spewing forth a large quantity of Netherworld River Water that scattered into the void, instantly forming a wide expanse of bright black ice.

A cheerful flute sound rang out, and a blue shimmering sound wave swept forth, striking the black ice. The black ice shattered instantly, revealing a gap several zhang wide.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan leaped and flew inside, with Yuan Shu following closely behind.

As soon as they stabilized themselves, a gigantic blue lightning orb descended from the sky, smashing into them.

A deafening roar resounded as dazzling lightning enveloped the three of them. A powerful blast of air instantly kicked up a large amount of dust, and a huge crater appeared on the ground.

The lightning on Qingyu's body intensified greatly, and he vanished.

A heavy shout rang out, and a blue light suddenly shone above the black lake, revealing Qingyu's figure.

By this time, the gap had already healed.

As the lightning dispersed, Wang Changsheng and the other two were disheveled. Wang Ruyan's physical body wasn't strong, but fortunately, she had refined several Tier-5 defensive talismans, so she was not seriously harmed.

Wang Changsheng saw the healed gap and let out a sigh of relief. They were temporarily safe, but a Void Refinement cultivator was outside and could break in at any moment.

Yuan Shu reacted quickly. His figure flickered, and he headed straight for Xuanfeng Tower.

With a muffled bang, the door shattered into pieces. Yuan Shu was the first to rush into Xuanfeng Tower, with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan following closely behind.

Qingyu let out a cold snort and began to break the restriction.

A deafening sound of thunder came from above his head, and a gigantic phantom thunder crane appeared there.

A sharp, piercing crane cry rang out. Countless blue electric arcs emerged from the phantom thunder crane, and numerous thick bolts of lightning flew out, striking a certain part of the void one after another.

A series of deafening explosions rang out as dazzling lightning enveloped a large area of the void.

The interior of Xuanfeng Tower was simply furnished, with only a few blue wooden benches, bare walls, and a few withered potted plants.

Wang Changsheng released his divine sense, carefully exploring every corner for fear of missing anything.

To the left was a basement with its door wide open. A teleportation formation over a hundred zhang in size could be clearly seen inside, though its destination was unknown.

The second floor merely held a few tables and chairs; nothing remarkable.

Upon reaching the third floor, a humanoid skeleton could be clearly seen, draped in a light blue cloak. Behind the skeleton was a blue offering table on which five glittering treasures were displayed. A five-colored light barrier enveloped the offering table, and behind it hung a portrait.

The painting depicted a tall old man in a blue robe, standing with his hands clasped behind his back on a steep peak, gazing into the distance.

"High-grade Profound Spirit Treasure!" Yuan Shu's gaze was fervent, fixed intently on the five treasures.
