People with Yang Spirit Ascension were the strongest forces in the world.
After Xiaju ascended, he would become an Immortal, so he couldn't be compared with mortals.
In the entire human world, only President Li, Celestial Master Zhang, the Lord of Penglai, the Evil Sacrificial Spirit, and the Serpent King of the Liu Clan had reached the Ascension realm.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this secret formation was the strongest defense in the world.
While I was thinking, Officer Wang stepped forward and took out a crescent-shaped jade ring. He spread his hands, and the jade ring soared into the air, flying toward the light beams.
However, the jade ring didn't fly into the light beams as I had expected. Instead, it moved quickly in the air. A few seconds later, a strong suction force appeared in front of us.
The light beams were sucked into the jade ring by this suction force.
Now, the mysterious formation was completely opened, and there were no more spiritual energy fluctuations in the cave.
After Officer Wang retrieved the jade ring, he turned around and signaled to us that we could move forward.
We didn't linger here and followed Officer Wang.
A moment later, a wisp of Primal Chaos aura appeared in front of us, but it was very weak. If my spiritual sense hadn't been so strong, I wouldn't have been able to detect it.
Nangong's cultivation base was higher than mine, so he naturally sensed the aura. However, he looked pensive, and I didn't know what he was thinking about.
At this moment, Officer Wang suddenly stopped and told us that we had arrived.
Nangong and I came to our senses and stood side by side with Officer Wang.
Although I knew that there was a divine weapon in the cave, I couldn't help but sigh when I took a closer look.
There was an altar in front of us, and a weapon that looked like an axe was hovering in the air. The axe was shrouded in thick witchcraft energy.
Seeing this scene, I understood why the Primal Chaos aura I had sensed earlier was so weak. Someone had deliberately isolated it.
However, the Primal Chaos aura on this divine weapon was so strong that it was impossible to completely cover it.
I clearly remembered that among the ten great divine weapons, the one with the strongest Primal Chaos aura was the Pangu Axe.
Legend had it that at the beginning of the world's chaos, Pangu woke up from his sleep and saw that the world was dark. He took a huge axe and split the sky and the earth. That was how the world, the moon, and the starry sky came into being.
This axe had the power to split the sky and the earth, and it could travel through the void. Its power wasn't weaker than the Xuanyuan Sword.
The weapon in front of him was also in the shape of an axe. In that case, it was undoubtedly the Pangu Axe.
Nangong knew about it, but he didn't change his expression. He motioned Wang Can to come forward and take it out.
Officer Wang didn't take action immediately. Instead, he observed the Pangu Axe. After a while, he looked surprised and turned to look at us. "Is this one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons? Pangu Axe?"
Judging from his shocked expression, it was obvious that he did not know that the Pangu Axe was in the cave.
However, based on what had happened between Nangong and Wang Can's father, Wang Can's father knew about it, which was why he asked Nangong to come and take it out after hundreds of years.
It was not surprising that Wang Can's father did not tell him this news. After all, Wang Can was still young. In the face of this Pangu Axe, any normal person would have the impulse to take it as their own. Moreover, even if Wang Can did not have this idea, it would lead to countless changes just by revealing the news. Therefore, Wang Can's father must have considered this and made the decision.
After getting Nangong Yinzheng, the shock on Officer Wang's face disappeared. It was replaced by surprise. He turned around and walked toward the Pangu Axe.
When he was close to it, he raised his hands, and a flow of thick witch energy appeared in his palms. Then, he grabbed the Pangu Axe.
Nangong didn't stop him. I thought that he had tacitly allowed Officer Wang to take it out. However, as soon as Officer Wang touched the Pangu Axe, the Pangu Axe shook and sent Officer Wang flying. The witch energy in his hands couldn't stop it at all.
Seeing this, I was also shocked.
Although I had anticipated the power of the Divine Weapon, Officer Wang's cultivation base was extraordinary. Even though he was prepared, he still couldn't fight back. It was beyond my expectation.
I was puzzled, and Officer Wang, who was lying on the ground, didn't know what was going on. After a while, we turned to look at Nangong. We wanted to get an answer from him.
Nangong didn't pay attention to our eyes. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the Pangu Axe. He frowned as if he was thinking about something.
It was obvious that he didn't understand why the Pangu Axe had such a strong self-defense ability.
After a while, Nangong's frown eased a little. He turned around and asked Officer Wang, "Did your father tell you anything before he left?"
Officer Wang was stunned when he heard his question. He tilted his head and pondered. After ten seconds, he remembered something and said with uncertainty, "When my father left, he entrusted me with all the affairs of the Wangwu Cave and left me a jade ring. At that time, I asked him what the jade ring was, but my father didn't tell me anything. He just told me that it would be useful in the future, so I should keep it."
Apart from that, my father didn't tell me anything else.
The jade ring he mentioned was obviously the one that had been used to open the mysterious formation.
When he was in the mysterious formation, he subconsciously took out the jade ring. Apparently, his father had told him about the connection between the jade ring and the formation.
Since his father didn't tell me anything else, it was possible that the jade ring had something to do with the witch energy outside the divine weapon.
While I was thinking about it, Nangong also had the same thought. Before I could say anything, he asked Officer Wang to take out the jade ring to test it.
Officer Wang didn't refuse. He nodded and took out the jade ring again.
When we were outside the formation, the jade ring could absorb the spirit energy from the light column. Obviously, it wasn't an ordinary item. I looked at it a few more times, but I didn't see anything special about it.
While I was thinking, the jade ring left Officer Wang's hand and flew forward. Soon, it hit the witch energy wrapped around the Chiyou Axe. However, what happened next was completely different from what I had expected.
When the jade ring came into contact with the Shaman Qi, it suddenly exploded. However, the Shaman Qi did not dissipate. Instead, it gradually gathered into a shadow.
No one had expected that the jade ring would explode. They were all shocked, but when they saw the phantom, Nangong and Officer Wang's expressions eased.
Especially Officer Wang. When the phantom appeared, he immediately knelt and shouted, "Father!"
When I saw him, I was startled. That phantom was Officer Wang's father!
Didn't he ascend to the Heavens and become an Immortal? Why is he here?
As soon as I had this thought, I understood. Of course, this phantom wasn't a real person. It should be a wisp of spiritual power left by Officer Wang. It was similar to the phantom of Shennong that the Shennong Cauldron had summoned.
Of course, even if it was just an illusion, Officer Wang had left it on purpose. Since it had appeared here, it was clear that he had something to tell him.
As I had expected, Officer Wang's father didn't pay attention to Officer Wang's actions. Instead, he said in an ethereal voice, "Can 'er, since you've opened the forbidden area, I presume Nangong has come to our Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
Before you take the Pangu Axe, I have something to tell you. "
Wang Can's father looked very kind, and his voice was very soft. After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued, "The appearance of the Pangu Axe means that the Mountain and Sea Realm is no longer a secret location.
Nangong is an Elder of the Magi Tribe. From now on, you must follow his instructions. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions.
After the Mountain and Sea Realm opens, there will be a bitter battle. When the time comes, you must do your best to protect the Magi Tribe. The Nine Cauldron Clans will be led by Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. You must gather the strength of the entire clan. First, you must welcome the people of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and second, you must deal with the remaining Demon Tribe members.
You must remember this. "
At this point, the illusory figure suddenly disappeared. What followed was a wave of majestic chaotic energy.
When Officer Wang heard this, he didn't know what to think.
Clearly, his father had given him an order. The matter of the Mountain and Sea Realm couldn't be avoided in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
After a moment, Officer Wang rose to his feet and walked toward the Pangu Axe.
As for me, I looked at Nangong. Although I knew that when the Mountain and Sea Realm opened, there would be a catastrophe in the mortal world, I didn't know what to do.
But after hearing Officer Wang's father mention it again, I had mixed feelings.
Officer Wang's father didn't sound like a problem, but the truth was that Wangwu Grotto-Heaven had already declined, and the Nine Cauldron Clans only had a few survivors. As for the Magi Tribe, the only survivors were those from the Valley of the Medicine Kings.
Whether it was to welcome the remaining people of the Mountain and Sea Realm, or to defend against the Demon Tribe, they were stretched thin.
If there were a lot of Magi left in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would be easier to deal with them. But when Demon Emperor Jun led the Magi to invade the Mountain and Sea Realm, not even Shennong could protect himself. How could the other Magi survive under the oppression of the Demon Tribe?
I even wondered if there were still Magi left in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As he pondered these questions, Officer Wang took the Pangu Axe and handed it to Nangong. He bowed and said, "Officer Wang will obey your orders, Elder."
Clearly, Officer Wang had heeded his father's instructions, and had immediately expressed his stance to Nangong.
Nangong smiled and helped him to his feet. Then he shook his head and said, "Wangwu Grotto-Heaven will take care of the Pangu Axe. When the Mountain and Sea Realm opens, you will know what to do."
Officer Wang didn't stand on ceremony. He put the Pangu Axe away, then used his shaman qi to wrap it up to block out the primal-chaos aura.
He clearly understood the importance of a Divine item. Right now, he was in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, so it was fine. However, if he were outside, the primal-chaos aura would spread, and he feared that it would attract a lot of trouble. It was best to be careful.
After everything was done, we didn't stay for long. We flew out of the cave and headed back to the palace we had come from.
When we returned, Nangong told Officer Wang that the ten great Divine items had been used, and that it wouldn't be long before the Mountain and Sea Realm opened. He told him to take care of the affairs in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, and then to go somewhere with him.
After Officer Wang left, Officer Wang didn't have any more doubts. After listening to Nangong, he nodded and left to take care of the affairs in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
After Officer Wang left, only Nangong and I were left in the palace.
Nangong didn't look as worried as he had before. He looked much more relaxed.
He had been plotting for many years, all for the purpose of opening the Mountain and Sea Realm and welcoming the revival of the Magi.
Now that the time was near, and his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, he was naturally delighted.
I, on the other hand, wasn't as relaxed as he was. I was still worried about the problem I had been thinking about, and was hesitating about whether or not I should discuss it with Nangong.
