After resting in the cave for a while, Xiao Mei gets up and squeezes herself to Su Tingyun.
“Granny, ah, no, Sister Yun, how come my cultivation has risen?”
Su Tingyun tells her what has happened over the years, and Xiao Mei frowns and smiles at the details. Hearing her difficult encounters, Xiao Mei would be nervous and worried; hearing her fun adventures, she would burst out in laughter.
“It turns out that Great Ancestor E was also under the Seal.” She leans her head on Su Tingyun’s shoulder, “I’m also going to be someone like Ancestor E in the future.”
“Keep laughing like that.” Her head was once washed with nothing but the voices of that group of orchid tongue grasses at the bottom of the Sealed Heaven Border. Hearing a similar laugh now, Su Tingyun can’t help but complain.
“It’s so strange that I haven’t used my body for so long.” Xiao Mei starts examining her body then, “It looks to be the same as ten years ago.” She takes out a beaten and tattered storage bag on her body. Injecting her consciousness into it, there is an empty box left inside, nothing else.
Back then, when they threw Xiao Mei’s body down, Fang Dingyuan hounded them all the way, and the situation in the Sect was dire at that time, so her belongings weren’t taken.
Su Tingyun didn’t touch the contents. Seeing Xiao Mei taking out the box now, she leans over to take a closer look and says, “This, it’s the jade box that used to hold the Pill Fire, right?”
Xiao Mei gave her the jade box at that time. Later, when she was subduing the Pill Fire, she just put the box in her house. Afterwards, when Xiao Mei came to stay with her, the girl said that the box feels related to her in some way, as she caught it when it jumped out of the sea at the Trial Island. So, she took it and put the box away.
At that time, neither of them knew what it was, and they only thought that the Pill Fire was probably a second-grade fire. Now Su Tingyun knows the might of this flame, as even the Kunlun Divine Tree is afraid of its power. Naturally, she imagines that since the flame cannot burn this jade box, it shouldn’t be something ordinary.
The jade box was originally used to hold that Fire.
The lid of the box is the kind that slides and could slowly be pushed open. Back when she was taming the Pill Fire, Su Tingyun only dared to carefully open a small slit and push it bit by bit.
Now that the box is in her hands again, she weighs it and finds nothing unusual. Might as well— she brings out her Pill Fire and tries to burn the box, only to find that it really doesn’t have any effect. There’re no burn marks on the jade box at all.
“Granny, what is this box made of?” Li Xinmei didn’t know it before, and she still doesn’t know it now. She takes it and looks at it again, pushes the lid again. As a result, the top of the box slips off, and the jade box seems to fall apart. It turns into a few jade cards.
The six-sided jade piece has a small flame painted on the bottom of the ex-box, and there are also formation runes in it. Su Tingyun can’t make sense of it. Li Xinmei now has the real inheritance of the Qiankun Array Eyes, and her eyes are filled with silver light. After looking at it carefully, she says, “It’s like an eyestone of a formation.”
Generally speaking, it is hidden in the most critical position of the formation, which plays a crucial function in maintaining that formation.
Because it was originally a box, it now has six sides when opened. Su Tingyun feels that the word “six-sided” is a little familiar. She thinks about it carefully, then her mind gets a slight jolt.
Back in the Kunlun Divine Tree, didn’t Su Lijiang say that the secret six-sided key of the Immortal Palace is gone? So those people who are staying around the Kunlun Divine Tree all day are wasting their time, and they won’t discover the true secrets of the Immortal Palace at all.
Could it be that this is the Key of the Immortal Palace?
Su Tingyun tells Li Xinmei about her guess. Li Xinmei never imagined that what she randomly took could be so important, “Then if we bring this key, can we enter the Immortal Palace and accept the inheritance?”
“It’s just that the area around the Kunlun Divine Tree is currently controlled by large factions, and it is impossible to get close. Unless you can mix in with the other sects.”
Or, when she could quietly pass by, if Su Lijiang could open a back door and let her enter the Kunlun Divine Tree. That would be less troublesome.
This key is now Xiao Mei’s possession, so Su Tingyun can’t make a decision for her. She tells her about the current situation on the Divine Tree, and Xiao Mei frowns and contemplates it for a while. Then she says: “Let’s wait for a better time, then let’s go over there together and have a look.”
There are still two elders who have cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Stage in the Array Hall. They have both been injured at the beginning, but the medicine given by the Qianji Pavilion has allowed them to recover well after ten years. Xiao Mei now has a sense of belonging to the Array Hall. In addition, she has completely inherited E Changguang’s Qiankun Formation Eyes, and she naturally has a sense of responsibility in her heart. She hopes to be able to really carry the Array Hall forward.
She can’t just profit without fulfilling the responsibilities that come with it.
Of course, if there is a chance to enter the Immortal Palace, she’ll definitely share the benefits with Granny. She pulls Su Tingyun’s arm and rubs it for a little while. They continue talking for some time before Li Xinmei has to lie down and rest.
