Jie Cha gazed at Wulu, and said lightly, "What do I need these things for? It's just that back in the day, there was a connection between the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons and me. Seeing someone inherit his legacy today settles a matter in my heart. You can take the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Cauldron and the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Banner with you as well. The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons was an extraordinary figure back then; do not tarnish his reputation."

Upon hearing this, Wulu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and promptly assured, "Rest assured, senior, I will make sure the name of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons resounds once more in the Chuyun Realm."

Jie Cha nodded and said no more, raising a hand to gather all the remaining treasures in the secret chamber.

"Where would you like to go, senior?" Wulu asked quickly upon seeing the situation.

"For many years, I've been the helmsman of the Three Realms Immortal Boat. Now, by self-destruction and funeral, I have concluded a karma. From now on, with the vastness of the world, naturally, I can go anywhere," Jie Cha said calmly.

"But senior, such a divine artifact as the Three Realms Immortal Boat, if you are not present, won't it soon fall into the hands of the Three Realms Sect's demonic practitioners? They are in collusion with the Demon Clan; if they acquire the Three Realms Immortal Boat, it will surely endanger the safety of the Chuyun Realm," Wulu panicked, hastily advising.

In his heart, he also harbored a thought: Yuan Ming was still outside, and if Jie Cha left like this, Yuan Ming's situation would indeed be unfortunate.

Jie Cha, discerning like observing fire, saw through Wulu's thoughts and said lightly, "You said so much, but actually, you just want me to help that boy with the last name Wan to seize the Three Realms Immortal Boat, right?"

Wulu, being seen through, showed a look of embarrassment, but still frankly said, "I dare not deceive the senior. I do have such an intention. It's not entirely out of selfishness. My friend there is someone with great fortune, exceptional talent, and profound cultivation. If he could wield the Three Realms Immortal Boat, he certainly wouldn't demean this treasure."

"What you say might be true. However, the Three Realms Immortal Boat was originally created by the Three Realms Sect, so it is fitting to fall into the hands of the Three Realms Sect descendants now. Whether it will be used for the Demon Clan or the Chuyun Realm is the decision of the Three Realms Sect descendants and has nothing to do with me," Jie Cha shook his head and said.

At that moment, suddenly, a loud "rumbling" sound burst out in the secret chamber, and the void around Wulu shook and trembled violently, seemingly about to collapse at any moment.

"This place is about to completely collapse soon. We can't stay here any longer. Follow me," Jie Cha finished speaking and, without waiting for Wulu to respond, raised his hand to activate the silver formation, taking Wulu with him, disappearing from the secret chamber.

...

White Emperor City.

On the horizon, splendid crimson clouds burned like fierce fire, painting the sky a deep red, while silver light flickered between the mountains as if stars were falling, casting warm rays and dispelling surrounding darkness, leaving no place for any evil to hide.

This White Emperor City was like a majestic heavenly palace, yet to fully reveal its city silhouette, already emanating an aura of awe to subdue the mountains and suppress a myriad of demons.

The sunrise just rose, the golden sunlight shining on the city walls, glittering brilliantly, adding to its sanctity and solemnity.

Inside the city, it was bustling early on, the shopkeepers busy cleaning up their stores, getting ready to welcome new customers for the day, seller cries echoing one after another in the streets, mixed with some innocent childlike voices.

Cultivators setting out to hunt demons walked out of the city in high spirits, their figures appearing more agile in the morning light.

A new day, the entire White Emperor City was brimming with vitality and exuberance.

And at a place ten thousand miles away from White Emperor City, suddenly came a loud "rumbling" noise.

A massive Three Realms Immortal Boat was seen racing forward, its hull flickering with dazzling light, cutting through the sky, leaving a long trail behind.

Above the ship's hull, a sudden wave of fluctuations appeared in the void, and Jie Cha and Wulu appeared out of thin air.

As they steadied themselves, they saw the silvery-white giant boat rapidly moving away, heading straight towards White Emperor City.

"Is that giant ship the body of the Three Realms Immortal Boat? Why did it suddenly start moving, and who is controlling it?" Wulu watched the silver-white giant boat gradually moving further away, revealing a puzzled look on his face.

Jie Cha looked at the distant Three Realms Immortal Boat, showing a relaxed smile on his face, explaining, "The people of the Three Realms Sect have been scheming for this immortal boat for a long time, naturally having backup moves. Though the master of the immortal boat hasn't been decided yet, it doesn't mean it cannot be controlled."

"Could it be those two women controlling the Three Realms Immortal Boat? No wonder they didn't come down with us earlier. Judging by the direction the immortal boat is flying, it seems to be heading to White Emperor City. What do they plan to do in White Emperor City?" Wulu's curiosity grew deeper, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Their goal is simple, to crash and break the Pillar Hongjun and destroy the Heavenly Crane Array," Jie Cha chuckled and said.

"Pillar Hongjun? I have lived in White Emperor City for quite some time, yet I have never heard of this Hongjun Pillar," Wulu's face was full of confusion.

"This Hongjun Pillar is the greatest secret of the Ten Thousand Demon Nineteen Cities. Your cultivation is still shallow, so naturally, you wouldn't know. The world is full of conflicts, just as there's the eternal strife between the Chuyun Realm and the Demon World; the strife between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan within the Chuyun Realm has never ceased. Tens of thousands of years ago, the battle between humans and demons finally ended with the Demon Clan's defeat. The only surviving Great Mahayana Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, in his dying moments, threatened to completely destroy the Chuyun Realm, forcing the Human Clan's great Mahayana ancestors to swear, allowing the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range to be the dwelling place for the Demon Clan, without utterly annihilating them," Jie Cha said nonchalantly, unsurprised.

"I have read about this in the classics, that the Human Clan's great Mahayana ancestor finally agreed to this demand, which allowed the Ten Thousand Demon Country to be passed down. However, was there another plot involved?" Wulu nodded and said.

"Of course, the Human Clan would not easily let go of the Demon Clan. After the Demon Emperor's death, although the Human Clan's great Mahayana couldn't eradicate the Demon Clan due to the oath, they secretly built nineteen cities in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, which are now known as the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range Nineteen Cities. Each city beneath has a Pillar Hongjun connected to the underground Spirit Vein, forming a Heavenly Crane Array that encompasses the entire mountain range. This array collects all the Spirit Veins under the Human Clan's control, thoroughly suppressing the Demon Clan," Jie Cha continued.

"Is that so? So the history of those Nineteen Cities in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is like this," Wulu's eyes lit up, unable to help but sigh.

Jie Cha continued to speak at length: "Moreover, this Heavenly Crane Array possesses the miraculous ability to suppress fortune. Even if the Demon Clan utilizes Spiritual Vein Power to cultivate to the level of a Sixth-level Demon King, they ultimately cannot advance further and cannot train a true Level 7 Demon Emperor. This is the true intention of the Human Clan's Mahayana; they want to bind the Demon Clan forever in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."

Upon hearing this, Wulu suddenly realized and sighed deeply: "No wonder there has been no news of a Level 7 Great Demon emerging in the Chuyun Realm for tens of thousands of years, it turns out to be suppressed by this Heavenly Crane Array."

Jie Cha nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "The Heavenly Crane Array is designed by a Mahayana master, and each Hongjun Stone Pillar is incredibly sturdy. Unless a Mahayana master personally takes action, there is no way to break it. Therefore, just relying on the Ten Thousand Demon Country's current power to want to destroy this Heavenly Crane Array is undoubtedly a pipe dream."

Wulu's heart stirred as if he realized something: "I understand! This treasure-seeking operation in the Fire Rock Desert is actually a conspiracy between the Ten Thousand Demon Country and the Three Realms Sect. From the start, the Ten Thousand Demon Country had no intent to seek the Heavenly Fire nor wanted to seize the Three Realms Immortal Boat. All of this was simply to present a gift to the Three Realms Sect, and in return, the Three Realms Sect would help them destroy the Heavenly Crane Array, allowing them to break free from the Human Clan's control completely!"

Jie Cha looked at Wulu, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes: "You're quite clever, realizing it in one go."

Wulu, however, did not feel relieved because of this. Instead, he became extremely anxious: "Senior, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and let the Demon Clan's plot succeed. Otherwise, once the Heavenly Crane Array is destroyed, the Chuyun Realm will surely fall into chaos, and the Demon Clan might take the opportunity to invade. At that time, if war breaks out, countless lives will perish, and it will be our fault!"

He had lived in White Emperor City for many years, where his friends resided, and he could not imagine such a disaster befalling it.

Jie Cha, however, merely shrugged and laughed heartily: "That's something for you to worry about, it has nothing to do with me. I was trapped inside the Three Realms Immortal Boat by Gongshu Lingren for countless years, finally breaking free, and I intend to enjoy some freedom."

Saying this, he laughed and flew away into the distance, leaving Wulu standing there, helpless.

At this moment, a raspy voice suddenly sounded: "Wanting comfort? It's not up to you!"

As the voice fell, a burst of white light emerged around Jie Cha, completely enveloping him.

Jie Cha's body instantly became immobile, his face changed dramatically.

The void near the white light split open, forming a spatial passage, and an old blind man with a cane walked out from it.

His entirely white eyes saw nothing, yet seemed to perceive everything.

"Xia Jie, it's you!" Jie Cha exclaimed in surprise, evidently not expecting to encounter this old man here.

Meanwhile, Wulu, upon discerning who it was, was overjoyed: "Senior, it's you!"

Xia Jie nodded, scanning Wulu with his all-white eyes and said: "Your cultivation progress is not bad, but why have you switched to cultivating the technique of that Ten Thousand Poisons? Abandoned the Void Thought Technique I taught you? Though this technique seems unorthodox, at a high level it is no less than any technique in the Chuyun Realm."

"The senior's reprimand is justified. But after I broke through to the Returning Void Realm, I needed a Five Elements simultaneous cultivation technique to advance my cultivation. Although the Void Thought Technique is exquisite, it can only regulate the different species magic power within, without any use for advancing cultivation, so I was forced to abandon it," Wulu replied with his head down.

Hearing this, Xia Jie's brows slightly furrowed as he said: "Foolish! The essence of the Void Thought Technique lies in refining various mana, who told you it was limited to internal use? This technique can also refine external spiritual power. Watch carefully."

As he spoke, an open-minded aura emanated from him, the surrounding nature's spiritual energy seemingly summoned, surged like a tide, merging into his body.
