The Yin and Yang Ruyi Bottle was a Daoist magic tool that only a Heavenly Master could control. The bottle had a Daoist charm, which made the ancient trees look extraordinary.
However, after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't find anything except for the fact that the trees looked more and more real.
I sighed, and pondered a little.
Since I couldn't find anything strange about the Yin and Yang Bottle, I could only bring it to Hong Kong and give it to Cang Feng. After all, the Armor Stripping Sword he gave me was of great value.
Of course, if I could find the secret of the Yin and Yang Bottle while staying in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, it wouldn't be too late for me to think about it.
After making up my mind, I put the bottle down. However, when I was about to turn around, I saw a faint red light flash on the bottle.
At the same time, I had a vague feeling that I was being watched.
Although the human eye was the main organ that could capture information, it could sometimes get the wrong information due to the change in color. That was why I didn't care about the faint red light I saw.
However, I couldn't help but pay more attention to the feeling of being watched.
There was a sixth sense in biology and psychology. Cultivators had sharp spiritual senses, and their sixth sense was much better than that of ordinary people. As long as I had a feeling, it couldn't be an illusion.
Therefore, the feeling of being spied on just now was definitely real!
Could it be that the Yin and Yang Bottle could store living things?
Could it be that there was a living thing inside?
But if that was the case, it couldn't be right.
According to my previous speculation, the reason Cang Feng asked for the Yin Yang Bottle was to store his own soul in it so that he could continue living. However, if there was already a living creature in the Yin Yang Bottle, wouldn't it lose its meaning to him?
I picked up the bottle and observed it again. However, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find anything strange. The feeling of being watched had also disappeared. It was as if it had never happened.
Feeling helpless, I had to give up exploring and sat down cross-legged. I placed the Armor Stripping Sword in front of me and began to familiarize myself with how to control it.
According to Officer Wang, the Heavenly Grand Ritual would start tomorrow. Although the Allheaven Competition would last for two days, there were only three or four days left.
There wasn't much time left. I had to quickly familiarize myself with the Armor Stripping Sword. That way, I would be more confident.
The Allheaven Competition determined the ranking of the Blessed Grotto-Heavens, so it was very important to them. However, according to the rules of the ancestors, only those who had reached the Celestial Master Stage could participate.
Although there were many Yang God Celestial Masters in the Blessed Enclave, and there were even many people with higher realms, some of the small Blessed Enclave's forces were weak, and there were only cultivators at the level of Celestial Master. Secondly, when the Yang God Celestial Master made a move, the power was too great. Once the True Fire was unleashed, it would be difficult to control.
Thus, it was best to send the Heavenly Master Seal into battle while others with higher cultivation watched from the sidelines. If there were any unforeseen circumstances, they would be able to intervene and resolve the situation.
This is also the reason why Officer Wang invited me to participate in the Allheaven Competition.
Otherwise, be it Fu, Shou, or the others, their cultivation levels are much higher than mine. Such an important battle would not have been my turn.
Although my cultivation level is only at the early stage of Celestial Master Seal, with my four-word seal and many other methods, I'm confident in dealing with some Celestial Master Seal in the mortal world.
However, the Blessed Enclave is different. Any Blessed Enclave or Blessed Enclave's inheritance is calculated in thousands of years. In the thousands of years of inheritance, the paths, techniques, and divine abilities are far superior to those of the same cultivation level. However, I have no confidence in dealing with the Celestial Master Seal here.
I can only place my hopes on the Armor Stripping Sword before me. Only by completely mastering its control will I be able to help the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven in the Allheaven Competition.
Furthermore, there's also Zhao Hao, who's obviously targeting me. He's from the Xuande Grotto-Heaven and has suppressed his cultivation level to the peak of Celestial Master Seal. He's also a sword cultivator, so his strength is probably not inferior to Lu Zhenyang's.
Thus, the sense of crisis in my heart became even stronger, and I couldn't be bothered to study the vase.
The most difficult part of controlling the Armor Stripping Sword is controlling the faint yellow light that appears after I infuse it with my Dao Qi.
Each of these light rays is a scattered strand of sword Qi. Although they're incomparably sharp, they don't have much power when they're scattered. To use them against an enemy, I have to quickly control all of them and fuse them into one, causing their power to explode at the same time.
When fighting against an enemy, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant. The stronger the enemy, the less time I have to attack. Thus, I'm currently training my speed, using the fastest speed to gather the faint yellow sword Qi.
Just now, when the fatty used the formation to test the sword, I gathered all of the sword Qi released by the Armor Stripping Sword into a sword shadow. It took me about ten seconds.
For me, who's using the Armor Stripping Sword for the first time, this is already a good result. However, it's far from enough to fight against an enemy. Not to mention ten seconds, with Zhao Hao's strength, I only need to delay for a second, or even half a second, and the result will be a crushing defeat.
Thus, in the next three days, I have to continuously train and try my best to control the sword light in an instant.
Even if I can't control it in an instant, I have to control the time within half a second.
I kept channeling my Dao Qi and True Essence into the Dismantling Armor Sword. Again and again, I tried to quickly control the sword light. As I became more and more proficient, I gradually reduced the time from the initial ten seconds to eight seconds, then six seconds. After a whole day had passed, I could already control the time to within five seconds.
At this time, the Dao Qi in my body had already dried up, and I couldn't continue training. Thus, I finally stopped and prepared to replenish my Dao Qi and cultivate for a while before continuing.
Because the Dao Qi in the Taoist Palace that ancestor Officer Wang cultivated had all turned into shaman Qi, if I wanted to quickly replenish my Dao Qi, I could only go to the lake formed by the four True Dragon Veins outside.
Thus, after I opened my eyes, I prepared to get up and go out. However, as soon as I got up, I suddenly had a strong feeling that I was being watched.
I abruptly turned my head and looked behind me. The Yin Yang Ruyi Vase that I had placed on the table had mysteriously appeared on the ground behind me.
Immediately, I felt a chill run down my spine.
You should know that after I put down the Yin Yang Ruyi Vase, I stayed here. Even though my mind was focused on controlling the Armor Removing Sword, with my cultivation, my spiritual sense should be able to cover a radius of several dozen meters around me. Logically speaking, within this distance, not even the slightest movement in the surroundings should be able to escape my senses. But this strange vase, without my knowledge, ran from the table to the ground. How is this possible?
Moreover, the feeling of being watched was even clearer than before!
If I had been hesitant before, then now, I was certain that the thing stored in the vase had its own consciousness!
Just like the last time, after I noticed it, the feeling of being watched disappeared. I picked up the vase again to observe it, but I still didn't find anything. Even when I opened the lid, there was nothing inside. There was no movement at all.
I put the vase down and couldn't help but continue thinking.
This bottle was originally in this Taoist Palace, but when I studied it yesterday, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Even when I took it out for Fatty to demonstrate and took out a spherical seed from it, there was no reaction at all.
Yet today, it had already spied on me twice. It even moved on its own. From its trajectory, it seemed to want to get closer to my body.
What was the reason for this?
After thinking about it carefully, I quickly realized that the only difference between yesterday and today was that I had brought back the Armor Stripping Sword.
Could it be that this vase had some sort of connection with the Armor Stripping Sword? The reason why Cang Feng was so anxious to obtain this vase wasn't what I thought it was, but because there was some sort of connection between this vase and the Armor Stripping Sword?
If that was the case, then it made sense for Cang Feng to give me the Armor Stripping Sword.
Perhaps he didn't believe my nonsense and guessed that I could come into contact with the vase, so he purposely gave me the Armor Stripping Sword so that the vase could come into contact with the Armor Stripping Sword!
With that thought, my hair stood on end. I quickly put the Armor Stripping Sword back into Xiang Liu's leather pouch.
Following the disappearance of the Armor Stripping Sword, I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I faintly felt a sigh coming from the Yin Yang Ruyi Vase. Immediately after, it seemed that the mysterious existence in the vase had disappeared.
I heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, I made up my mind that regardless of whether my guess was correct or not, I definitely couldn't let the Armor Stripping Sword appear in front of the vase again.
Due to the depletion of the Dao Qi in my body, I placed the Yin Yang Ruyi Vase back on the table and walked out of the palace. I sat cross-legged beside the lake formed by the four True Dragon Veins' spiritual energy. I quickly absorbed and replenished my energy. Not long after, the Dao Qi in my body was once again abundant.
After replenishing my Dao Qi, I didn't dare to return to the palace. I raised my eyes and looked around. I noticed that there was a mountain peak in the distance that had a pleasant scenery. Thus, I took a step and flew towards the mountain peak.
After I landed, I was in the middle of a forest. I closed my eyes and sensed the surroundings. The spiritual energy in the surroundings was still abundant and the Dao Qi was circulating very quickly. Thus, I sat cross-legged and prepared to continue practicing my control of the Armor Stripping Sword.
However, before I could pour my Dao Qi into the sword, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I didn't know when, but in the surrounding forest, there were several cold and sharp auras. These auras were firmly locked onto my body.
