Chapter 996 Found
He asked again, "Elder Zheng, is this Tracking Pearl really that miraculous?"

Zheng Shanggong said, "Although this pearl is wonderful, it is not of much use to most disciples."

Leng Tieya asked, "Can we really find something beyond the Demon Realm?"

Zheng Shanggong said, "If that's not the case, ordinary magical arts can achieve the same result, so why would we need this?"

Cultivating a unique technique for tracking and tracing is not too difficult, especially for disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.

All those who enter the Great Heavenly Demon Palace possess exceptional talent and are bound to have powerful spiritual strength.

This extraordinary technique requires immense mental strength; the stronger the mental strength, the easier it is to master, and the greater its power.

Leng Tieya pondered.

Zheng Shanggong said, "It has found many strange objects in caves and heavens, including those of the human race."

"Will you find even further?"

"The demon realm, the human realm, the grotto heavens, and some other places that even if you know about them, there's no way to go."

“…Alright, I’d like two,” Leng Tieya said.

“Two…” Zheng Shanggong thought for a moment: “It’s not going to break after one use, so there’s no need for two.”

The Tracking Bead is not a consumable item; once you have it, you can use it indefinitely.

Two are really unnecessary.

Unless you're giving it to someone else.

He immediately thought of Song Lianshuang and guessed that it was a gift for her.

Leng Tieya, however, did not have such thoughts; he only wanted to get two for the sake of caution.

"Alright, two it is then," Zheng Shanggong said. "We'll begin once they return!"

When will my two senior brothers return?

“I’ve already started urging them, and it should happen in the next few days,” Zheng Shanggong said.

"Then give me a Tracking Bead first."

"You rascal!" Zheng Shanggong chuckled. "How could you say that!"

Leng Tieya smiled and said, "Elder, it's far better for this operation to have me here than not."

"Fine, just wait!" Zheng Shanggong snorted and turned to leave.

As Leng Tieya watched Zheng Shanggong's retreating figure, his expression gradually turned solemn.

I am truly flattered that they value me so much and are so forgiving of me.

Are there other reasons?

He didn't sense any danger, but he became more cautious and wary of any kindness shown to him.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the square in front of the main hall, taking the opportunity to unleash his extrasensory observation.

The main hall was shrouded in an invisible force, making it impossible to discern its true nature; only small courtyards could be seen.

His attention quickly fell on Huang Daochu, watching as Huang Daochu's aura expanded and contracted, just like breathing.

He raised an eyebrow.

This is the tide of demonic energy, a great exhalation and inhalation, a resonance with heaven and earth, a state of enlightenment.

Is Huang Daochu also aiming for a higher level?

Huang Daochu is at the eighth rank, and the next level up is the seventh rank.

He pushed his extrasensory perception to its limit, discerning every subtle change in the early zodiac.

Through this change, he felt that he might be able to find a breakthrough.

Time passes slowly.

Huang Daochu's demonic energy tide grew stronger and stronger, and the light around him began to distort.

It resembles a body radiating high temperatures.

But his body temperature not only didn't rise, it actually dropped.

Body temperature is dropping, blood and qi are contracting, demonic energy is overflowing and expanding, merging with the void, constantly inhaling and exhaling the mysterious power of the void.

Extrasensory perception reveals this inexplicable power.

After discovering that this power had merged with the demonic energy, it entered his body and changed every inch of it, not only his physical meridians but also his bones, marrow, and even his nerves and brain.

This is a true transformation, from the inside out.

The Extrasensory has been searching for this mysterious power, wanting to truly understand what it is.

Unfortunately, only when the demonic energy is in a strange state can this mysterious power be triggered, thus merging with the demonic energy.

Under normal circumstances, this mysterious power cannot be found in the void.

He sighed to himself: There are too many mysteries in this world that I cannot understand, and too many powers that I cannot comprehend.

The extrasensory perception kept relentlessly pursuing and constantly illuminating, clearly seeing the strange state of the Zodiac at its beginning.

The only regret is that we cannot see Huang Daochu's mind and spirit.

This is the true core, the key of all, the foundation of all change.

He didn't miss a single change in Huang Daochu, wondering if he could simulate the changes to force a change in his mind. A quarter of an hour later, Huang Daochu was still in a state of flux, while Zheng Shanggong had already returned.

He took out a small purple box from his sleeve and handed it to Leng Tieya: "This is the Tracking Pearl. There's no need to give it to you one by one. I'll give you two directly."

"Thank you very much, Elder!" Leng Tieya was overjoyed.

Zheng Shanggong chuckled and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank the steward. I was just following orders."

Leng Tieya smiled and said, "The steward should also express his gratitude. Then this disciple will take his leave."

Zheng Shanggong said, "Don't leave the palace for the next few days. We'll take action once they return!"

"Yes," Leng Tieya agreed, then took his leave.

Extrasensory perception remains ever-present in the early ecliptic, never departing.

He sensed that Huang Daochu's transformation was nearing its end, so he quickened his pace.

When they arrived at a short distance in front of Huang Daochu, they found that Huang Daochu had already floated up.

Standing in mid-air, it was as if an invisible giant hand was lifting it up to a height of ten meters.

His clothes billowed up like a ball, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.

Leng Tieya glanced down at the edge.

Below were thick white clouds, and looking down through the gaps, one could see that Beiyuan City below looked like a swarm of ants.

Huang Daochu's demonic energy is undergoing changes. After circulating through the meridians in his body, it has transformed into a different kind of demonic energy.

He has already completed the leap in his realm and has stepped into the seventh rank of the Great Heavenly Demon.

He landed slowly, opened his eyes, and his eyes burned like flames.

Leng Tieya clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Huang, on reaching a new level!"

"Haha..." Huang Daochu suddenly burst into laughter.

Leng Tieya watched him laugh uncontrollably, his laughter abrupt and eerie.

Huang Daochu was usually serious and meticulous, and had never laughed like this before, nor did he seem to know how to laugh like this.

Leng Tieya couldn't tell if his laughter was a suppressed laugh, an extremely joyful laugh, or both.

Once the laughter subsided, Huang Daochu regained his composure and seriousness, and sighed, "I have to thank you for this, Junior Brother."

"Senior Brother Huang, do you still want to continue your comprehension?" Leng Tieya laughed, "Why don't you go and participate in an operation? I've already signed up for the operation to exterminate the Yougu Sect."

The more powerful a Great Demon there is, the more secure we become.

Huang Daochu nodded slowly: "Yes, that's fine."

He knew about the Nether Bone Sect's actions and originally didn't plan to go, as his main goal was to improve his cultivation level through meditation.

Now that you've improved your cultivation level, participating in battles is also a way to consolidate your power.

……

Leng Tieya returned to his courtyard, opened the small purple box, and inside were two round, purplish beads, about the size of longan.

He picked one up and examined it slowly, but couldn't discern anything special about it.

He then took out the stone tablet of the Nine Heavenly Demons.

When the bead was placed on the stone slab, it flashed with purple light and suddenly became bright.

Leng Tieya perked up, smiled, and picked up the purple bead again.

Then, a strange feeling arose in my mind, as if something in the distance was calling to me.

He opened his eyes and looked westward.

Could it be that the other half of this stone slab is not another world, but part of this world?
Why didn't I sense it before?
At this moment, Chu Zhiyuan, inside the Demon-Subduing Palace, shook his head, stood up, drew a portal of light, stepped into it, and appeared on a mountain peak in the Demon Realm.

The portal disappeared, and he stood on the mountain peak, looking down at his surroundings. Then he flashed away in one direction.

In a flash, a hundred feet had passed.

His senses were connected with Leng Tieya's, and Leng Tieya's use of the Tracking Pearl was no different from his.

He moved in the direction sensed by the tracking bead to see if he could find the other part of the stone slab.

His speed increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the distance continued to increase from one hundred feet to two hundred feet, and then to three hundred feet.

An hour later, he stopped in a dense valley. There were no traces of demons, only trees and strange rocks.

Looking at the rocks surrounding the valley, it seems that it used to be the ocean, with traces of reefs everywhere.

Chu Zhiyuan was skeptical; was there really another half of the stone slab here?
If it were that easy to find, why have there been no clues among the Leng family members for so many generations?
The Leng family has no shortage of disciples who have entered the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, so why can't they find it with the Tracking Pearl?
He glided into the valley forest, his figure flashing, the dense trees offering no obstruction.

Finally, they arrived at an ancient tree, bent down and squatted down, using their hands like shovels to dig at the soft, warm soil.

After a cup of tea, he dug a stone slab out of the damp soil.

Upon seeing this stone slab, I knew I had found the right place!
Leng Tieya could no longer hold back. He left the Great Demon Palace, descended from the high platform, and floated out of Beiyuan City.

Chu Zhiyuan was already waiting in the woods at the north gate of the city. After handing him over to Leng Tieya, he drew a portal of light and disappeared without a trace.

Leng Tieya couldn't wait to take out the original stone slab, and the two slabs collided.

It fits perfectly; it's truly a single unit!
