At this moment, unaware that he was caught in the greatest crisis of all time, Ye Feng was trying to open one of the four formation eyes of the Titan's Abyss. Although he wanted to stop Lan Yuanfeng from moving forward, after experiencing such a disaster, it was not in his nature to remain stagnant when there was treasure ahead. The principle of gaining rewards only after making sacrifices meant that Ye Feng could only help Lan Yuanfeng focus on sensing the dangers around them, ready to act if that mist-like illusion appeared again.
For cultivators, falling into the same trap twice was simply unacceptable! As Lan Yuanfeng approached the dim light, nothing unusual happened around them. The reality in his eyes became clear again, and he let out a sigh of relief as he moved closer.
However, when he reached Lan Yuanfeng, he noticed the other’s expression was difficult to read, almost as if he felt tricked! Ye Feng couldn't help but show a look of confusion and glanced at Lan Yuanfeng, immediately understanding why he displayed such a demeanor.
It turned out that this might be one of the formation eyes where an Ancient Divine Artifact could exist, but instead of some astonishing treasure, it was an utterly ordinary flag! In contrast to Lan Yuanfeng's glum face, Ye Feng revealed an incredibly excited gaze, though he quickly concealed it.
If it weren't for having previously obtained a seemingly ordinary but actually powerful flag, he wouldn't have been interested in this smaller flag before him! This flag was planted on a smooth Light Stone.
The dim light was not emitted by the flag but by the Light Stone itself. Though small, the Light Stone could emit light in dark environments, showcasing its quality. Perhaps in the eyes of many, this Light Stone held more value than the flag itself!
Lan Yuanfeng cursed directly: "Damn it! This broken stone and this broken piece—are they really treasures for sealing the Ancient Demon God?"
Ye Feng forced a bitter smile and realized that Lan Yuanfeng had not recalled the power of the flag he had used against Bailuo earlier. Perhaps due to what had just happened, his mind was still somewhat muddled and failed to recognize the flag's usefulness. But this was exactly what Ye Feng wanted to see!
"Ahem. In ancient times, there must have been many spells we can't even imagine. Perhaps not every formation eye contains treasures. Look at this stone; I think it's quite good—smooth and made of decent material. If we can take it back, who knows? We might be able to craft a Divine Weapon from it!"
"As for this flag, I estimate it serves merely decorative purposes or perhaps the treasure of this formation eye was taken by someone before us. They found this smooth stone too plain and casually stuck a flag in it!"
To avoid any conflict over treasures with Lan Yuanfeng, Ye Feng put on a bold front and began to ramble nonsensically. At that moment, he was actually overjoyed inside; if it weren't for Xuan Lao's reminder earlier, he wouldn't have been able to discern the trick behind this flag!
This flag was even more colorless than the previous one and didn't even have a pattern; calling it garbage would not be an exaggeration! Yet Ye Feng began to ponder secretly about what kind of treasure this could be.
Just then, Xuan Lao's sleepy voice echoed again: "Good kid, you've really stumbled upon a treasure! It seems that the flag you picked up earlier is the Mother Banner of the Soul Guiding Banner!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement; since the previous one was a mother banner, then what lay before him must be the true Soul Guiding Banner!
Xuan Lao's next words confirmed Ye Feng's suspicions. In a somewhat weak voice, he said, "It should be correct. I think the environment you experienced before was the power of the Soul Guiding Banner, which can manifest monsters based on what different people are thinking, disturbing their minds!"
"Even a Martial Saint could fall victim to it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized that this Old Fart seemed to know about the disaster he had suffered and couldn't help but send a message, "Xuan Lao! Why didn't you warn me back then? If you had reminded me earlier, I probably wouldn't have even gotten injured!"
The wound on his back still throbbed faintly! The miraculous ability of the Soul Guiding Banner once again astonished him!
Old Xuan retorted irritably, "Do you think this Ancient Divine Artifact is a toy? Even I wouldn't be able to wake you once you entered the illusion unless there was some external disturbance. In that situation, you would have to rely on yourself!"
Ye Feng still felt that this Old Fart was doing it on purpose! He couldn't help but reply, "Well, you should have warned me before I entered the dream!"
Xuan Lao continued to scoff, "You really are an Idiot if you don't believe me. The magic of the Soul Guiding Banner is that it can catch you off guard and leave you with no chance to react. By the time I realized it, it was already too late!"
With that said, Ye Feng completely abandoned any thoughts of blaming him; he could only blame his own misfortune. Fortunately, amidst his misfortune, he had managed to save his life and now obtained such a treasure. Indeed, surviving a great calamity must bring future blessings!
"Alright, kid, now it's up to you how to deceive that even more Idiot Martial Saint. Old Man will continue sleeping!" After saying this, there was a distant silence again.
Ye Feng couldn't be bothered with this Old Fart anymore. He glanced at Lan Yuanfeng and saw that the guy still looked as if he had just lost his father. Unable to hold back a chuckle, he pretended to be kind and said, "Well, we still have three chances left. Let's just treat this as a lesson learned!"
Lan Yuanfeng sighed, knowing there was no other way! He squatted down on the ground in frustration, and at that moment, the jade stone began to shine brilliantly, transforming from dullness to radiance! Ye Feng was suddenly startled, thinking he had accidentally triggered some mechanism. Lan Yuanfeng was also shocked and stood up!
However, after staring at each other for a while, nothing happened; only the jade stone continued to emit its glow for a long time. It looked so sacred! The two finally realized that this jade stone truly seemed to be something extraordinary!
Against the backdrop of the jade stone, the dark banner appeared very out of place. Lan Yuanfeng seemed to come back to life as he gazed greedily at the jade stone! Previously, it had merely been an ordinary piece of stone that suddenly radiated divine light; this was indeed a remarkable transformation!
According to ancient texts, there were tales of celestial jade beds. It was said that an ordinary large stone in the mountains became jade after a celestial being visited the mortal realm and rested upon it for a while, thus gaining celestial energy!
The jade stone infused with celestial energy, once touched by a mortal, can extend life. For a martial artist, sleeping with it can absorb celestial energy, solidify their cultivation, and even elevate their realm! Could it be that this piece before them is one of those?
Ye Feng was also taken aback, but seeing Lan Yuanfeng's reaction upon encountering the jade stone, which began to radiate brilliance, he found himself believing in such rural legends! Lan Yuanfeng looked at him with words unspoken, and the desire in his eyes was unmistakable!
Ye Feng took a deep breath, thinking that this was indeed heaven's assistance! Compared to the jade stone that had lost its efficacy after just a few uses, he yearned for the true Soul Guiding Banner even more! He had initially worried that taking this useless banner might lead Lan Yuanfeng to suspect him.
Now, with the jade stone in hand, the problem would likely be resolved!
Feigning sorrow as he gazed at the jade stone, he clicked his tongue and said, “It seems we have truly stumbled upon a treasure! I must admit I was mistaken earlier. Lan Manor Master, look at how small this jade stone is; if we split it into two pieces, it might not have much effect!”
Upon hearing this, Lan Yuanfeng immediately wore a mournful expression. He wanted to compete with Ye Feng for it but knew he was no match at this moment. Yet letting go was truly hard for him!
Unable to resist, he said, “Young friend, having one is better than having none. How about this: you take the larger piece, and I’ll take the smaller one?”
Ye Feng held back laughter. In truth, the stone itself was not very large; it couldn't compare to the legendary jade bed of immortals. At most, it resembled a pillow. If split into two pieces, its efficacy would likely diminish even further. This was precisely why he was willing to part with it.
However, on the surface, he had to conceal his true feelings! Thus, he feigned a sigh and said, “Lan Manor Master, why say such things? I know how much you have sacrificed to gain opportunities in this Underground Palace. Although I am not a person of great virtue, I understand your hardships!”
“Well then, let this jade stone be entirely yours! After all, there are still three treasures ahead; if you could give me one more later on, I would have no regrets!” He acted as if he were reluctantly parting with something dear. No one knew whether there were treasures waiting at the next array.
Moreover, they had no idea what other dangers lay ahead! Therefore, most people held onto the idea that having one treasure was better than none. Ye Feng's generosity genuinely moved Lan Yuanfeng!
He nearly cried out loud and bowed deeply to Ye Feng, saying, “Young friend, how can I repay you for such kindness? I promise you that I will go through fire and water to help you search for the next three array eyes!”
Ye Feng had been waiting for those words! After all, the dangers within the Underground Palace were too high; relying solely on himself made him anxious about not making it through. This was also why he wanted to team up with Lan Yuanfeng. Although Lan Yuanfeng had fallen to the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm now, his strength was still undeniable!
He waved his hand and tried to maintain an air of humility. “No need for such formalities; since Lan Manor Master considers me a friend now, please keep this treasure!”
Lan Yuanfeng quickly made a few sounds of surprise, then picked up the jade stone and intended to put it in his pocket! Ye Feng was astonished to find that this guy actually had a storage bag! Of course, he didn't forget to swiftly take the Black Chess Piece!
Lan Yuanfeng, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Young friend, what do you want with this broken chess piece?"
Ye Feng chuckled inwardly but casually replied, "I’ll use it to clear the way, and it can also serve as a keepsake or something!"
Knowing he had obtained a treasure, Lan Yuanfeng stopped pretending and chuckled, putting away the jade stone with a satisfied expression! With this treasure, perhaps he could recover to the Xuanwu Realm from the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm in a short time!
At this moment, having experienced numerous life-and-death situations, his pursuit of power was not as intense as before! He only wished to regain his original cultivation level!
People, whether warriors or anyone else, only learn to cherish what they have after losing it! Ye Feng said nothing and simply stored the Soul Guiding Banner away! He began planning for their next actions! They both failed to notice that after the jade stone and Soul Guiding Banner were taken away, the ground that had originally depicted a very vague drawing resembling an array vanished completely! At that moment, they were too focused on their desired treasures to pay attention!
However, Ye Feng could never have anticipated that someone in the Underground Palace sensed the changes here and more specifically, sensed the changes in the entire great array!
This person was none other than the Avatar who claimed to be the Haotian Shura True Monarch in the Mural World!
