"Li Yun, are you alright? Are you injured?"

"No, huh, where's the Yaoguang Terrace?"

Li Yun had just stood up when he realized the Yaoguang Terrace was gone.

Wei Zong let out a wry smile and recounted the changes that had just occurred. After listening, Li Yun's face became even more peculiar.

He simply didn't know what to say.

So the Heavenly Palace Divine Art had always been hidden in the Yaoguang Terrace. No wonder they couldn't find it no matter how much they searched inside the relics. This was simply a scam.

But now the Heavenly Treasury Golden Plaque containing the Heavenly Palace Divine Art had fallen into the hands of the Heavens Mandate Sect. It would likely not be easy to get it back.

It was predictable.

The Eastern Cloud Continent would soon become turbulent.

The Four Top Sects had guarded Tianfu Mountain for so many years, even going so far as to spend a huge price to repair the Yaoguang Terrace, only for it to end up benefiting others. This was something they absolutely could not accept.

But the meat had already been eaten. The Heavens Mandate Sect was not to be trifled with, so how could they possibly spit it out obediently?

A chaotic battle was inevitable between the two sides.

However, this was not what Li Yun was concerned about.

It wasn't that he didn't care about the peace of the Eastern Cloud Continent, but there was something that worried him even more.

After sorting out the Black Tiger Battle Skill, he searched for clues about the Heavenly Palace Divine Art in the relics once again, specifically revisiting the twelve palaces in the The Twelve Palaces of Tianfu that represented the formation foundations.

As a result, he was surprised to find that out of the original twelve Spirit-Might Orbs, besides the one he and Fatty had returned to its place, one was actually still missing.

In other words, although he had returned the Spirit-Might Orb that Fatty had possessed to the Cloud Water Palace, the entire Seal Ghost Grand Formation was still missing one Spirit-Might Orb.

There were still flaws.

Furthermore, the return of the Spirit-Might Orb in the Cloud Water Palace seemed to have stimulated the Ghost Realm, causing a fierce reaction from the Nether Ghost Clan.

As a result, the anomaly suddenly erupted.

Cracks appeared everywhere inside the relics, and large amounts of Ghost Realm black energy surged into the relics.

Fortunately, the Seal Ghost Grand Formation reacted in time to suppress the situation.

But during that wave of anomaly, a large amount of black energy still surged into the relics, making the interior of the relics strange and eerie again. Li Yun highly suspected that quite a few Nether Ghost Clan members in soul-ghost form had taken the opportunity to escape into the relics.

Perhaps it was also because of this reason that the Seal Ghost Grand Formation completely sealed off the relics.

Even the Yaoguang Terrace, the entrance, exploded.

Wait, something seemed wrong.

Li Yun suddenly felt as if he had missed something.

He glanced at Wei Zong.

He quickly asked, "Elder Wei, did disciples from the other three Sects come out before I did?"

"Yes, some came out, but not all. They should be trapped in the relics. Why? Your expression seems off. Did something happen?"

Li Yun's expression immediately froze.

It wasn't because disciples from the other three Sects hadn't all come out. He had personally killed some of those disciples, and he had seen several dead ones. It would be strange if they all came out.

What he thought of was another terrifying possibility.

Could Nether Ghost Clan members in soul-ghost form have possessed the disciples from the three Sects and taken the opportunity to escape the relics covered by the Seal Ghost Grand Formation?

He couldn't be sure, and he didn't dare to say it at this moment.

This matter had too great an impact.

If one wasn't careful, the world would fall into chaos. In comparison, the Heavens Mandate Sect taking the Heavenly Treasury Golden Plaque was just a minor issue.

Just then.

Gu Xiaoxian also returned to Tianfu Mountain.

"Elder Gu... you're back, the Heavenly Treasury Golden Plaque..."

Wei Zong had only spoken halfway when he saw that Gu Xiaoxian's face was gloomy. He knew the result without thinking; he hadn't caught up to the Heavens Mandate Sect experts.

How could he dare to ask further?

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxian didn't take his anger out on him but walked towards Li Yun.

He looked Li Yun up and down a few times. Seeing that Li Yun was not injured and his vitality and spirit were many times stronger than before, he immediately revealed a smiling face again.

Patting Li Yun's shoulder, he said, "Good lad, not bad. Looking at you, it seems you've cultivated Inner Force. Did you find the Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method in the relics?"

A hint of hope was clearly visible in Gu Xiaoxian's eyes.

The complete Tianfu Inheritance had been taken by the Heavens Mandate Sect, which was a bad thing, but if they could obtain the Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method through Li Yun, it would be considered recovering some of the loss.

Li Yun had no intention of hiding this matter.

He nodded and said, "Fortunately, I did not fail my mission. This disciple did indeed obtain the complete Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method!"

"Complete? So, your Inner Force...?"

Gu Xiaoxian's expression was startled.

With the Heavenly Treasury Golden Plaque taken, he hadn't originally held out much hope that Li Yun could obtain the complete Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method. He had only thought that getting a part of it would be good enough.

At that time, he would take it back and try to integrate it with the Heavenly Martial Sect's existing Six Methods Returning to Origin to attempt to reach the top three ranks of Inner Force. As long as it succeeded, it would be considered a gain.

He hadn't expected Li Yun to say he had obtained the complete Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method. This truly made Gu Xiaoxian overjoyed.

Even Wei Zong, who was standing by, became somewhat excited.

He couldn't help but say, "Li Yun, are you sure? Did you really obtain the complete Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method?"

Li Yun affirmed again, "Elder Gu, Elder Wei, this disciple is certain!"

"Hahaha..."

"Good, good, good, very good!"

"Let's go, head back first!"

Gu Xiaoxian laughed three times, grabbed Li Yun's shoulder, and directly soared away.

His eager appearance made Wei Zong unable to help but feel a moment of daze.

He definitely couldn't catch up to Gu Xiaoxian. There seemed to be no need to stay on Tianfu Mountain either. Wei Zong had no choice but to gather the other Heavenly Martial Sect personnel and follow back to the Sect a step slower.

Gu Xiaoxian was extremely fast.

In less than a day, he brought Li Yun back to the Heavenly Martial Sect.

He went directly to the Outer Sect's Elder Hall.

Putting Li Yun down, he eagerly pressed, "Quickly tell me, what is the complete Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method like? Can it really cultivate Inner Force of the top three ranks?"

"If it can succeed, then you, lad, have truly rendered a great service!"

Li Yun wasn't evasive either.

He had Gu Xiaoxian prepare paper and pen, and then wrote out the complete Tianfu Inner Force Condensation Method by hand.

Of course.

It was exactly the same as the copy he gave Fatty, both being the cultivation method after stripping away the Mixed Origin Skill. Relying on this method, he couldn't say it could cultivate Rank Two Inner Force, but cultivating Peak quality Rank Three Inner Force was absolutely no problem.

Gu Xiaoxian took it and carefully studied it. His eyes immediately shone brightly on the spot.

With his Realm and vision.

It was very easy for him to judge that this was indeed a perfect Inner Force condensation method, the kind that was difficult to further supplement or modify.

With this martial art, cultivating Rank Three Inner Force with a talent of Rank Three or higher was absolutely no problem.

If there was someone even more monstrous, directly reaching Rank Two Inner Force was not entirely impossible either.

Which meant from now on.

With this cultivation method, from now on, the Outer Sect of the Heavenly Martial Sect would usher in an astonishing transformation!

"Li Yun!"

"Good lad, you've rendered a great service, truly a great service!"

"Let's go, come with me. I'll take you to meet the Sect Leader. If the Sect Leader dares not give you a suitable reward this time, this old man won't agree!"
