Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

By the time Chen Liang's main body broke through the treasure-hiding restriction in the interlayer, Chen Liang's avatar, Manhuzi, Jin Kui, and others had fought their way to the entrance of the third floor of the inner hall.

Here, Chen Liang stopped and said, "Brother Man."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man stopped in his tracks.

The next moment, Chen Liang transformed and threw the Heaven-Mending Pill in his hand to the barbarian bearded man.

After receiving the Heaven-Mending Pill, the bearded man asked in surprise, "Brother Mo, what's this?"

Chen Liang's avatar did not directly answer the bearded man's question. Instead, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag, presented it to the bearded man, and said, "Brother Man, the words in this jade slip may avert a near-death experience for you. You must read it carefully afterwards."

Barbarian Beard accepted the jade slip with a puzzled look, while Ji Yin, Qingyi Jushi, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi, Mu Tengzi, Elder Jia, Jin Kui and others also stopped in their tracks and stared at Chen Liang's avatar and Barbarian Beard.

At this moment, Chen Liang, in his avatar, looked at Ji Yin and said, "Ji Yin, although our previous agreement was that if you used the mutated fire python to help me successfully retrieve the cauldron, you would get an extra share of the treasures inside."

Although you haven't helped me successfully retrieve the cauldron, your mutated fire python has died in the process, so I can't leave without showing some gratitude.

Having said that, Chen Liang transformed and took out a pair of ancient treasure short halberds from his person, saying, "Here, I knew a long time ago that you wanted these. So, consider this your compensation."

Chen Liang obtained this pair of ancient short swords from the second floor of the inner hall, where they were held by a very powerful pseudo-infant level puppet.

After Chen Liang destroyed the group of puppets, the two high-level ancient treasures naturally fell into Chen Liang's hands.

As Chen Liang, in his avatar, presented the two high-grade ancient treasures to Ji Yin, Ji Yin accepted them with great joy and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mo, what is this?"

Chen Liang's avatar still didn't answer the question, but only said, "But don't be too happy yet. Your grandson has already been killed by Xuan Gu. You can't blame me for this."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yin's expression immediately changed. "Xuan Gu?! Where is he?"

Chen Liang, in his disguise, said, "We were just over at the stone hall, but who knows where we are now."

Ji Yin: "The Stone Hall? Could it be... that so-called junior of the Barbarian Beard?!"

Having said that, Ji Yin looked at Man Hu Zi with a face full of anger.

But the bearded man said matter-of-factly, "I owe Xuan Gu a favor, and now, to repay that favor, what's wrong with covering up his identity?"

Ji Yin, enraged, pointed at the bearded man and yelled, "Bear-bearded man! You!!"

Then, the bearded man couldn't help but ask, "Hey?! Brother Mo, how do you know about the situation at the Stone Hall?"

Chen Liang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's because this is one of my avatars."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions. "An avatar?!"

Wan Tianming realized what was happening immediately, "Oh no! The Void Heaven Cauldron!!"

Chen Liang, in his avatar, said, "Everyone, I will accept the Void Heaven Cauldron. May we meet again someday."

After saying that, Chen Liang's avatar turned into gray spiritual light and dissipated, leaving behind only a golden top-level avatar talisman and an empty storage bag.

On the other side, a black ancient tree resembling a coiled dragon appeared before Chen Liang and Han Li.

The leaves of this ancient tree are crystal clear, and there is a shimmering light flowing through it, making it look very mystical.

Upon seeing this, Han Li quickly handed the jade box containing the young Yin Jin Bamboo plant to Chen Liang.

Chen Liang accepted the jade box and then carefully used his spiritual power to collect the Soul-Nourishing Wood before him. During this process, he also separated a section of the Soul-Nourishing Wood's root and gave it to Han Li.

After that, the two were teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace.

On a remote island outside the Void Heaven Palace, Chen Liang and Han Li suddenly appeared.

Han Li looked around and, after confirming that he had left the Void Heaven Palace, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, he faced many dangers, but fortunately, he gained a lot.

Chen Liang couldn't help but relax. This time, after much planning, he finally got what he wanted.

In fact, Chen Liang had two main purposes for this trip to the Void Heaven Palace.

First, he would have to compete with many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Secondly, there are treasures such as the Seven-Colored Lotus, the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, the Soul-Nourishing Wood, a group of ancient puppets, and the Void Heaven Cauldron. Among these, Chen Liang's attitude towards the spirit of the artifact, Silver Moon, is rather ambiguous, entirely depending on her own choice.

Now, Chen Liang has achieved all his goals, and has also gained unexpected rewards such as Gengjin, Yinjin Bamboo, and Boro Pearl.

Just as Chen Liang was about to leave, Han Li spoke up somewhat shyly, "Senior brother, do you have any other good stuff?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liang turned around and said, "It seems you still have some goods on hand, Junior Brother. What have you set your sights on this time?"

Han Li: "Actually, Mo Lu is also one of Senior Brother's identities, isn't he?"

Chen Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "So what if it is?"

Han Li: "Junior brother, I found a Greenwood in the herb garden space this time, and I want to use it to exchange for the Thunder Bamboo in your possession."

Chen Liang: "Azure Wood?! Your luck is a bit too good."

Although the Azure Wood is not one of the three great divine trees in the cultivation world, it is not far off.

Even some Nascent Soul cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan consider this Azure Wood far more precious than the Three Great Divine Woods.

If a tree of the Azure Wood reaches the age of ten thousand years, it will nurture a powerful life-giving divine ability that can greatly extend the lifespan of cultivators—the Yi Wood Thunder.

Therefore, Chen Liang had no reason to refuse this deal.

When Han Li took out the ancient green tree from his storage bag, Chen Liang discovered that it was only a few hundred years old. No wonder Han Li dared to trade it with Chen Liang.

Of course, the Thunder Bamboo that Chen Liang took out was also only a few hundred years old, so the two were indeed of comparable value.

After completing the transaction, Chen Liang and Han Li went their separate ways.

On the other side, inside the stone hall on the Hanli Terrace, the figures of Ji Yin, Qingyi Jushi, Manhuzi, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi, Mutengzi, Elder Jia, and Jin Kui gathered together.

They looked at the now empty pit, their expressions varying.

Qingyi Jushi and Manhuzi looked indifferent, because they had long since given up on the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Tianwuzi and Mutengzi looked only slightly worried, while Jiyin and Wantianming both looked very unpleasant.

Especially the extremely Yin energy; he sensed the pure and profound Yin demonic energy remaining in the stone hall, and his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Wan Tianming, however, was filled with jealousy and hatred. In his heart, the Void Heaven Cauldron should belong to him and the Myriad Laws Sect.

Jin Kui and Elder Jia resumed their previous detached, amused expressions. For now, the Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths were not in the mood to concern themselves with the Heaven-Mending Pill scam; they could watch the show for a while before making any decisions.

After a short while, Wan Tianming spoke up: "Barbarian! Were you also involved in this scheme?"

The bearded man: "Hmph! Their strength and methods are formidable; we can't beat them in a fight, and we even fell for their elaborate scheme. You still can't accept that?"

Wan Tianming: "Hmph! You barbarian, simple-minded, it seems you weren't involved."

Then, Wan Tianming looked at Qingyi Jushi, but quickly looked away again.

"Old ghost Qingyi is too weak; he probably wouldn't even look at us."

Upon hearing this, Qingyi Jushi became quite annoyed.

It wasn't until Wan Tianming focused his gaze on Ji Yin that he spoke, "Ji Yin, Mo Ling specifically compensated you for this. You must have been involved in this matter, right?"

Ji Yin: "Hmph! Sect Master Wan, didn't you hear what that Fellow Daoist Mo said? My beloved grandson has already fallen victim to Xuan Gu's poisonous hand. I'm too busy guarding against Xuan Gu to have time to conspire with him!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Tianming gritted his teeth and then looked at Man Huzi.

"Regardless of the circumstances, we still need to discuss the ownership of this Heaven-Mending Pill. At the very least, someone should try the medicine and see its true efficacy."

Barbarian: "Discuss it again? Let's see if your claws are sharp enough first."

After saying that, the bearded man and Wan Tianming started fighting again.

This time, the two used all their methods, with Wan Tianming even employing his trump cards, such as Nascent Soul Astral Projection and Heavenly Thunder Divine Lightning.

But in the end, it was suppressed by Manbik, especially the Thunder God's Lightning, which was completely restrained by the Thunder Absorbing Beads that Manbik had prepared in advance.

In the end, that Heaven-Mending Pill was still quite impressive.

Although Jin Kui and Elder Jia enjoyed a good show, their real plan failed.

They had originally planned to join forces with Ji Yin to assassinate Wan Tianming within the Void Heaven Palace, thus thwarting the Reverse Star Alliance's scheme. However, Ji Yin clearly has no time to participate in this assassination attempt now.

Without the involvement of Ji Yin, they were unable to lure Wan Tianming into being alone, so this plan was essentially a complete failure.
