The four people first looked around, finding a smooth and crystal-clear scene without any conspicuous objects, except for a groove that appeared before the main door of the Divine Hall.
The door was covered with countless intricate Taiyin Runes, which, upon closer inspection, seemed like Taiyin True Dragons coiled around the groove, lifelike enough that Zhang Jian had an intuition they could fly out at any moment.
Taiyin Fairy looked at the groove, rare joy glimmering in her eyes, and then said, "Emperor, it should be here!"
Zhang Jian knew that Taiyin Fairy was referring to the entrance for the Key Treasure Sword.
However, Zhang Jian was not in a hurry; he glanced at the two rows of blue-armored puppet Divine Generals and focused on the road ahead, frowning.
"No rush, there are traces of Forbidden Technique on this path, it's likely there are traps. Let's unlock the Forbidden Technique first!"
It's most terrifying when effort goes to waste just before success!
Having reached this point, Zhang Jian was not in any hurry.
Pursuing Star True Monarch, True Monarch Zijing, and Taiyin Fairy nodded; they, too, had noticed the Spiritual Light emanating from the blue-armored puppet Divine Generals.
None dared act recklessly. At their level of Dao Practice, they've encountered countless traps, knowing well that at critical junctures, caution is key.
Taiyin Fairy pondered and then glanced again at the two rows of blue-armored Divine Generals, speaking solemnly, "These two rows of Divine Generals are likely the guardian Divine Generals refined by the ancestors of our Xiyue Sword Sect. We can't forcibly break through, but instead need to open the path with our Sect's Secret Seal!"
"Let me give it a try!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian and the others reacted.
The Tongshan Daoist Ancestral Hall has similar guardian Divine Generals, if one enters without being a disciple of the sect, holding its Dharma Seal, they would certainly meet their demise.
Zhang Jian said, "Then let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, we'll think of another way!"
Taiyin Fairy nodded lightly, stepping forward, and formed a Secret Seal with her hands, instantly sending a graceful silver moonlight from her hands deep into the void.
Following the release of this Secret Seal, the two rows of Divine Generals emitted a surge of Spiritual Light, their heads slowly turning to focus on Taiyin Fairy, seemingly verifying her identity and magical presence!
Moments later, countless blue lights dissipated, and the long sabers they held were slowly lowered to the ground.
The invisible atmosphere of killing intent also vanished.
This change prompted a reaction among the three, a slight smile emerging on their faces.
It worked!
Pursuing Star True Monarch then laughed, "I didn't expect the people of Xiyue Sword Sect to be so petty!"
Evidently, this Immortal Mansion was considered forbidden grounds by Xiyue Sword Sect, and should anyone approach rashly, they'd suffer dire consequences!
With the Forbidden Technique on the road unlocked, Taiyin Fairy did not hesitate further. She stepped to the front entrance of the hall, slowly raising a hand with an intense Immortal Light emerging from within.
It was the Xiyue Immortal Sword!
This Xiyue Immortal Sword was slowly lifted, aligned with the groove, and gradually inserted.
As they all watched solemnly, the Immortal Sword was slowly submerged into the groove. Taiyin Fairy slightly turned the hilt, through the radiant glow, they saw a Taiyin True Dragon gradually materializing and emerging.
The Taiyin True Dragon soared into the sky, its hundred-foot-long body swimming freely in the air, before transforming into a cold-faced female cultivator appearing before everyone.
She was graceful, her beauty unparalleled, with eyes holding a cold moonlight, akin to a goddess ruling over the celestial realm, peerless!
Her gaze fell on Taiyin Fairy, slightly softening as her clear voice echoed.
"To those who arrive later, being able to unlock our Xiyue Sword Sect's secret repository, you must be a disciple of our sect. Before you inherit our sect's full legacy, remember that the enemy of our sect—
Our enemy is the ancient immortal, Qingxia Fairy of the Celestial Realm!"
Just as her words ceased, the void erupted with thunderous sounds, instantly a thunder light annihilated the Primordial Spirit within, simultaneously giving birth to a grand, malicious intent.
Under this terrifying malicious intent, all felt a deep chill!
In an instant, they were completely immobilized.
