The next moment, Zhu Xuanji saw the past scene of the third golden furnace.

The door of the golden furnace was wide open, and a mysterious cultivator stood in front of the furnace, holding a sickle and throwing the corpses of demonic beasts and cultivators into the furnace.

There were so many corpses that Zhu Xuanji slightly narrowed his eyes.

A headless cultivator’s corpse was taken out from a corpse bag.

A jade thumb ring slipped from his finger and fell onto the floor tile.

The mysterious cultivator lightly moved his wrist, used the handle of the sickle to hook the jade thumb ring magical item, then raised his arm and sent the handle into the golden furnace.

The golden furnace was almost full of corpses, and after being squeezed by the sickle handle, a little space was made.

When the mysterious cultivator retrieved the handle, the jade thumb ring magical item on the handle had disappeared, left in the golden furnace.

Not only this magical item, Zhu Xuanji had already seen that many magical items and robes on the cultivators’ bodies were not removed and were stuffed into the golden furnace together.

Finally, the mysterious cultivator also put the sickle in his hand into the golden furnace.

Fire ignited.

The golden furnace burned fiercely, undergoing a refining process that consumed all its foundation.

The refining ended quickly, the flames extinguished, and the golden furnace was covered with black cracks.

The next moment, the golden furnace cracked open.

A mechanical serpent raised its huge head from the rubble and smoke.

It affectionately swam towards the mysterious cultivator, who raised his head and stroked the mechanical serpent’s head.

“It’s Zheng Danlian’s Night Rain Demonic Weapon!”

Zhu Xuanji’s heart was greatly shocked.

“Then who is this mysterious cultivator?”

Golden light shot from his eyes, strong to the extreme.

The mysterious cultivator’s blurry appearance gradually became ethereal, leaving only a rough humanoid outline, and within this outline, a huge purple light mark appeared.

The purple mark resembled a sea cucumber shape, emitting a strange purple light. At the same time, the light mark was full, with countless protrusions on its surface, like the greasy body of an insect or newly grown tentacles.

A strong purple intent penetrated through, unexpectedly counter-invading Zhu Xuanji’s eyes.

Zhu Xuanji quickly closed his eyes, golden light overflowing under his eyelids.

After urging it for a while, he finally completely dissolved the traces of purple intent in his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, Zhu Xuanji’s expression changed slightly.

“Who is this mysterious cultivator? Could it be Zheng Danlian?”

Zhu Xuanji immediately recalled the conversation Zheng Shuanggou had with him—

Zheng Shuanggou: “About eight years ago, when my clan brother entered the immortal palace, he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

“At that time, this Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding a mechanical sickle, seemed to be going crazy, indiscriminately hacking and killing innocent cultivators.”

“My clan brother couldn’t stand it, upholding justice, he immediately took action and killed him on the spot, and thus obtained a damaged mechanical demonic weapon, as well as a complete mechanical blueprint.”

Zhu Xuanji had seen that mechanical blueprint, but he couldn’t understand the structure of the Night Rain Demonic Weapon.

But relying on the mechanical blueprint, step by step, one could indeed refine such a Night Rain Demonic Weapon!

“The mechanical sickle refined from the golden furnace should be the one in Zheng Danlian’s hand.”

“It was complete once, why is it damaged now?”

“What happened in between?”

“Is it really as Zheng Shuanggou said?”

“Or is it that this is just a meticulously arranged play by the Zheng family? In fact, they had already refined this mechanical sickle?”

Zhu Xuanji did not proceed with the next deduction.

He lacked more information.

He discovered an important clue, but along with it came more mysteries.

Zhu Xuanji took a step and began to run, constantly moving through the secret chambers.

He had now recovered to the Golden Core stage, and the arrangements in the secret chambers were even less worth looking at, easily swept away by him.

Before, Zhu Xuanji might have reminded Zheng Danlian, but now, he wouldn’t do that.

“Judging from the results before and after the golden furnace refining, this Night Rain Demonic Weapon is quite evil, capable of devouring other corpses to enhance itself.”

“Perhaps, the Night Rain Demonic Weapon that Zheng Danlian refined later also greatly increased its power by killing many enemies!”

“Under my golden eyes, the mysterious cultivator is still hiding his true face, only revealing a purple light mark.”

“The purple light mark is extremely simple, what is its origin that it can even erode my golden eyes! Fortunately, it was only a few strands of purple intent…”

Just then, Song Fu appeared within Zhu Xuanji’s divine sense range.

Song Fu quickly approached Zhu Xuanji.

They were separated by several secret chambers, and Zhu Xuanji communicated through divine sense: “Song Fu, stop.”

“If you advance further, I will treat you as an enemy and deal with you.”

Song Fu quickly said: “Master Zhu, I am a friend, not an enemy! The Night Rain Demonic Weapon is too fierce, I have brought you first-hand information.”

“I just want to figure out where Sun Lingtong is?”

“He is the one who stole my treasure, I need to recover what was stolen from me!”

Zhu Xuanji received Song Fu’s information and directed him that Mother Milk Butterfly had appeared and cast the Curving Light and Woven Shadow Formation. However, there had already been a small turning point, and Zhu Xuanji was not sure which specific secret chamber the previous battle took place in.

His divine sense expanded, covering many square secret chambers, but he could only detect the cultivators’ aura in the secret chambers and could not penetrate inside.

Zhu Xuanji had not detected those like Song Fu who concealed their aura before. It was not until Song Fu actively revealed himself that Zhu Xuanji immediately detected him.

The sight of the Dragon Tortoise Fire Spirit was different from that of the cultivators.

He could see the internal situation in the turning point secret chambers clearly, like observing fire, and knew everything like the back of his hand.

“Ning Zhuo has made a move!”

“He’s heading straight for Meng Chong.”

“Damn it, damn it!”

The Dragon Tortoise Fire Spirit was very nervous.

Its speech sped up, urging Meng Chong to charge faster.

If it was divine sense, it couldn’t expand outwards. Qi Refining cultivators had to place jade slips on their foreheads to browse them. But now, Ning Zhuo had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and possessed divine sense, so he could naturally observe the external situation.

The Meng family’s Golden Core body cultivator and Zheng Danlian formally met.

Song Fu kept his distance from Zhu Xuanji, indicating his attitude.

Zhu Xuanji headed towards the Meng family’s Golden Core body cultivator and Zheng Danlian!

At the same time, Ning Zhuo, under the cover of the Unfurling Cloud Bud, chased Meng Chong with all his might.

Lightning crackled, making a buzzing sound.

This time there was no sound of mechanisms.

After the turning point secret chambers were revealed, they created a spatial barrier for the main hall, which also affected the small turning point.

The second small turning point came faster than the first!

Thirty-six steps were not enough.

Song Fu, Ning Zhuo, and Meng Chong rushed quickly, consuming most of their quota.

Zhu Xuanji, the Meng family’s Golden Core body cultivator, and Zheng Danlian were only one room away from meeting.

The second small turning point separated everyone again.

“Just the last three secret chambers.” The Dragon Tortoise Fire Spirit was so angry that it punched the throne.

Clap clap clap!

The speed of the flame whip behind it was so fast that it created whip shadows.

The Dragon Tortoise Fire Spirit’s ferocity was aroused, it gritted its teeth tightly, flames shot from its eyes, and it remained silent.

Outside Mount Fire Persimmon.

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Grand Purity Palace cursed: “Meng Hu, don’t go too far!”

Saying that, he took out a shield.

The shield was thin, but it strangely blocked Meng Hu’s powerful blow.

Seeing the familiar pattern, Meng Hu surprisingly said: “Night Rain Demonic Weapon?!”

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Grand Purity Palace sneered: “This is the Thin Fate Shield. If you can break this shield, I won’t mind retreating.”

Meng Hu’s competitive spirit was aroused, and he attacked with all his might.

However, no matter how he attacked, he could not break the thin shield.

Instead, there were purple wounds all over his body. This was caused by the reflected damage of the Thin Fate Shield.

“How?” The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Grand Purity Palace raised his head and smiled.

“Not how!” Meng Hu spat out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward again.

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Grand Purity Palace had a gloomy face and could only transmit a message: “This Meng family is determined to win the Lava Immortal Palace, and they secretly dispatched Meng Hu to support.”

“They are shameless and turn a deaf ear to my explanation. They truly want to isolate my Grand Purity Palace.”

“Such urgent action further indicates that the competition for the Lava Immortal Palace has reached the final stage.”

“You all go into the immortal palace and strive for the position of Palace Master with all your might!”

There were five people in the Grand Purity Palace’s group. Besides the Nascent Soul cultivator, there were two Golden Core cultivators and their two Foundation Establishment attendants.

Upon hearing the leader’s command, the two Golden Core cultivators of the Grand Purity Palace immediately took action.

They simultaneously took out black clothes, put them on, and disguised themselves as two shadow demonic cultivators.

The two concealed their figures and rushed towards the Lava Immortal Palace.

Inner area of the Lava Immortal Palace.

Flame demonic beasts gathered in groups, like a flood hitting a dam, breaking through multiple gaps.

The cultivators suffered heavy casualties, but they were still resisting with all their might.

Sun Lingtong ignored all this. He had learned the latest news, knowing that the restrictions of the turning point secret chambers had been greatly weakened, allowing Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter.

“I must go back!” Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth, his eyes resolute.

Yang Chanyu looked at him in surprise: “Are you crazy? The front line has shrunk now, and many Golden Core cultivators are active in the inner area. If we show ourselves, we will definitely attract an encirclement.”

“You’ve already been eliminated, why go back?”

Sun Lingtong shook his head: “I’m going back. Yang Chanyu… take care of yourself. If things look bad, you should retreat first!”

After speaking, Sun Lingtong concealed his figure and sneaked towards the main hall of the immortal palace.

“Hmph, wait.” Yang Chanyu stopped him, “Since we’ve already fought to this point, I’ll go back with you!”

“Huh?” Sun Lingtong was surprised.

Yang Chanyu snorted coldly: “Don’t use the invisibility technique. Once it’s seen through, it’s very easy to fall into a desperate situation.”

“Use this.”

Sun Lingtong saw the clothes Yang Chanyu took out and immediately gave a thumbs up: “Good idea!”

The two of them both put on the clothes and became two… shadow demonic cultivators.

Elsewhere.

“Clan brother, I’m going to take action. I’ll leave the Zhou family cultivators to you.” Zhou Nongying transmitted a message.

Another Zhou family Golden Core ancestor slightly nodded: “Go ahead with peace of mind.”

So, Zhou Nongying took out a black piece of clothing, put it on, and became a shadow demonic cultivator.

Sometimes, acting as a demonic cultivator is the most convenient.

In many critical moments, being a righteous path cultivator seems inconvenient instead.

“It’s finally my turn to appear!” Luo Shang swaggered into the Lava Immortal Palace.

The tide of demonic beasts was cut open with a clear gap by his Golden Core stage ghost general.

Luo Shang took the opportunity to enter the inner area of the immortal palace.

Then, he saw nearly ten shadow demonic cultivators, appearing one after another!

“What’s going on?!” Luo Shang was shocked, “Could it be that now, acting as a shadow demonic cultivator has become a trend?”
