The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent cast a magical technique, and instantly, the mist of elemental energy formed by ice cracked open a gap, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand. The rolling ice mist retreated to both sides, revealing another passage.

"Follow me, keep the team tight. This place is quite dangerous, everyone be careful."

Mi Xiaojing obediently followed, moving forward in an orderly manner. No one dared to act recklessly here, not even the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent.

Although this place was deep underground, it was not dark at all. It looked like an overcast day outside, not bright but not dark either.

A flicker of light, and Mi Xiaojing realized they had left the Mysterious Heaven Formation. There were four huge stone pillars here, made of an unknown material. They were neither gold nor wood, semi-transparent, with a hint of green moving within.

Following the guidance of the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent, everyone stood outside the circle of the four pillars.

Mi Xiaojing didn't understand, but Wang Weijun did: "They're about to open the portal!"

Sure enough, the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent began to cast magical techniques and incantations. Then, the four pillars suddenly moved. When the last magical technique and incantation were cast, the four peculiar pillars began to spin wildly, bringing up bands of green light, as if countless silk ribbons were spinning at high speed.

The ground trembled slightly, and soon the light and shadow brought up by the spinning pillars completely obscured the figure of the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent.

All Mi Xiaojing could see were bands of light. When his vision cleared, everything seemed like an illusion, suddenly disappearing. The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent reappeared before his eyes, but the surrounding environment had completely changed.

The ground was made of white jade, the walls of black jade. A semi-circular space, the ground emitting a milky white glow.

A palm-sized flame hung in the air, a strange flame that just hovered in front of everyone. Its color was also peculiar, a deep blue flame with a hint of purple.

Cold Flame!

A type of cold flame, Wang Weijun jumped up in the Heart Tower: "Cold Flame! This damn thing is a Cold Flame! The fools of the Heart Sect, idiots... actually left such a treasure here... oh my, it's killing me!"

Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "What's the use of the Cold Flame?"

"Damn, this is a heavenly treasure! Whether for refining tools or alchemy, this is a rare treasure..."

"Can this thing be collected?"

Mi Xiaojing originally intended to ask Wang Weijun, but he accidentally blurted it out and quickly covered his mouth.

Yong Ji asked, "Are you talking about this Cold Flame?"

The others also heard Mi Xiaojing's words and showed curious expressions. They had all heard of the Cold Flame and knew it was extraordinary, but due to their limited knowledge, they didn't know its use or how to collect it.

Mi Xiaojing could only nod.

Wang Weijun arrogantly said, "Just because they can't collect it, doesn't mean I can't!"

"Can I collect it?"

"Ah... what a pity, what a pity!"

It was only then that Wang Weijun realized that he was just an Elemental Infant and couldn't possibly go out to collect the Cold Flame. And Mi Xiaojing's cultivation level was not enough. Even if he had the magical techniques and incantations, even if he had the tools to collect it, he still couldn't obtain it.

The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "It can't be collected. Someone from our sect tried before. The Cold Flame entered his body and turned him into an ice sculpture. After the Cold Flame came out... it was still the same!"

"Moreover, this Cold Flame and the Mysterious Heaven Formation are one. If it's collected, the power of the formation will be reduced by 20%."

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Wang Weijun smacked his lips in the Heart Tower: "Tsk tsk, a bunch of fools, weaklings who don't understand anything. The real Mysterious Heaven Formation is much more powerful than this. This is just a small Mysterious Heaven Formation... I can't be bothered to explain. What a waste of resources! Stupid!"

Wang Weijun was quite angry, ready to explode at any moment, often puffing with anger. But Mi Xiaojing found it amusing, this old man was becoming more and more interesting.

The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent clapped her hands coldly: "Alright, everyone stop talking. The portal is about to open."

Everyone immediately fell silent, waiting quietly.

The Cold Flame suddenly rose by a meter, and strands of cold air quickly twisted together, forming two white ice mists, quickly condensing into an archway. With a magical technique from the Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent, the surrounding air trembled, and then a hole silently appeared under the Cold Flame.

The hole was actually emitting light. The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "Follow me!" She jumped down first.

Mi Xiaojing followed Yong Ji and also jumped down.

The round hole led to a huge space below. According to Mi Xiaojing's estimation, this space was like a birdcage, with a curved top and a round bottom.

Treasure light soared into the sky, no wonder the entrance emitted light when it was opened.

On the curved walls, there were numerous compartments of various sizes, densely covering the entire wall.

Some compartments were empty, while others emitted treasure light. Mi Xiaojing was stunned, there were too many!

This was the true foundation of a sect. Even an ordinary cultivation sect had such a profound foundation, which was quite intimidating.

Wang Weijun sighed, "Indeed, it's a sect with a history. Accumulated over generations, it has a deep foundation. Very good!" To receive praise from the old man, the Heart Sect was indeed impressive.

Mi Xiaojing noticed that the most common item in the treasury was swords, all kinds of swords!

A variety of swords were sealed in the compartments on the wall, dazzling everyone with their treasure light.

Mi Xiaojing was no exception. There were flickering treasure lights everywhere, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, silver, all kinds of lights, casting strange shadows on people. He looked around in a daze, how was he supposed to choose?

The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, "Each person can only choose one item. Once chosen, I will unlock the seal. Of course, some items are not allowed to be taken. You can only take items from the middle and upper compartments. The lower ones are treasures that can only be used by cultivators above the Elemental Infant stage. You are not allowed to choose them."Everyone responded with a roar, then each of them slowly flew along the wall, observing and searching for treasures suitable for themselves.

The items stored here, if they were weapons, were at least top-tier magical instruments. There were also various kinds of cultivation methods and talismans, and Mi Xiaojing even saw quite a few high-level Spirit Pills.

He couldn't help but sigh, the Cultivation Sect was simply too wealthy. Compared to it, the Evolutionary Immortality Sect could indeed be called the Beggar Sect.

The two were like comparing a billionaire to a beggar, the gap was truly too large.

There were simply too many items, Mi Xiaojing didn't know how to choose, so he had to ask Wang Weijun for help: "Old man, help me choose!"

"You fly along the wall, don't fly too fast, fly slowly! Make sure you don't miss anything as you fly in circles."

"Okay!"

Mi Xiaojing slowly flew along the wall, passing one compartment after another. Every time he saw a compartment with something in it, he would ask Wang Weijun: "How about this one?"

Wang Weijun's answer was always one word: "Pass!"
