Zhao Xing is the direct target of the curse, while King Heavenly Destiny is the indirect shield.
Thus, when Zhao Xing backtracked him, the specific location he obtained was more detailed.
When he and King Heavenly Destiny arrived at a sea area, King Heavenly Destiny said, "Zhao Xing, it’s up to you."
"Yes." Zhao Xing immediately split into several clones, flying in different directions.
"Keep your main body not too far from me," King Heavenly Destiny warned, "to avoid any accidents."
With that, King Heavenly Destiny also dove into the sea, beginning his search.
Zhao Xing’s Ten Thousand Skill Avatars were notably effective in the search.
In less than two quarters, he located the Sanshan Crystal Palace.
"Indeed, it’s the location predicted by the Divination Skill, but it seems it hasn’t emerged yet, I wonder how long it will take," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"King Heavenly Destiny still needs to search a bit more; I must go down first."
While he was the main body there, alternating with the clones, even King Heavenly Destiny couldn’t tell the difference. Why?
Because with some distance between them, King Heavenly Destiny could only sense through spiritual intensity.
Zhao Xing’s cultivation of the Derivation God Decision made the Seven Soul Body have no distinctions in strength or weakness, making it naturally difficult to discern which was the clone.
Then why do it this way?
Mainly because of the [Spirit Sealing Hall]!
"The Spirit Sealing Hall of the Xuantian Sect, passed down from the Spiritual Energy Era, can cooperate with the Xuanbing Spirit Coffin, allowing for slumber over thousands of years, enduring the passage of time."
"However, in the Primordial Qi Era, the success rate of this method is greatly reduced."
"The chances of success are low, and even if one awakens, there are significant side effects, leading to either madness or idiocy." Zhao Xing delved into the Crystal Palace, searching swiftly.
The Xuantian Ice Coffin was one of his backup plans, due to its severe side effects and only to be used as a last resort.
Of course, his arrival this time wasn’t for the ice coffin.
Just the Xuantian Ice Coffin by itself was useless.
It also required the practice of specific spells, and additionally, the construction of the Spirit Sealing Hall, along with many precious treasures to be prepared.
His main reason for coming was because of the [Spirit Sealing Hall].
"As long as it is still effective, there must still be spiritual energy within, even if just a trace, which is extremely valuable to me."
"I can use the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique to absorb it."
Zhao Xing quickly searched through the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace, though complex, with hidden mechanisms and secret doors, was within Mr. Zhao’s expertise. Using a clone to scout the path, he quickly found the place.
At that moment, the large doors of the Spirit Sealing Hall opened, revealing the chaotic and drifting crystal coffins inside.
"Blood Spirit Venerable escaped too hastily, perhaps this is an important soul split here, or even possibly the main body," Zhao Xing considered.
"I wonder if there’s still any spiritual energy left."
He quickly went inside.
The barrier had been broken, and the array had lost its original effect.
After entering, Zhao Xing carefully sensed his surroundings.
"Ninety percent of the ice coffins have been empty for an unknown number of years."
"The spiritual energy has long been exhausted, under the erosion of years, these arrays cannot last."
For slumber, many items of spiritual energy must be placed within the ice coffins.
Additionally, the Spirit Sealing Hall itself requires the presence of spiritual energy.
"The transition of an era."
Looking at the broken walls and ancient arrays, many of which had been eroded, Zhao Xing observed.
"It seems there are no gains... hmm?"
Zhao Xing had originally planned to give up, but suddenly, his brow twitched, his figure flickered, and he instantly arrived at one of the ice coffins.
This particular ice coffin seemed to have been opened not long ago; the cold air inside had not completely dissipated.
Inside lay seven jade bricks, placed at different positions within the ice coffin.
"Top-grade Cold Spirit Jade, I wonder if it still contains spiritual energy."
Zhao Xing immediately activated the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique on the seven pieces of Cold Spirit Jade.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Six of the Cold Spirit Jade pieces shattered instantly upon contact with the primordial qi magic, turning into ashes.
However, the seventh piece emitted a light.
Though the light was faint, Zhao Xing was ecstatic.
"There is, this amount of spiritual energy is about half of that dried branch back then!" Zhao Xing promptly extracted it.
Simultaneously, he utilized the Pure Essence Projection.
A light brown sphere of light immediately merged into the Pure Essence Soil.
"It’s Earth Element Spirit Qi."
Zhao Xing eagerly awaited.
Upon breaking through the fourth-rank realm, his Pure Essence Soil reached the fourth level!
Its total area was approximately 314,000 square meters.
The radius of the Pure Essence Soil was about 316 meters.
Now beginning its transformation, the Pure Essence Soil started expanding further.
After obtaining this portion of Earth Element Spirit Qi, the radius of the Pure Essence Soil increased to 420 meters.
The total area expanded to 550,000 square meters.
"Still fourth-level soil, no qualitative change occurred, but the increase in range was significant," Zhao Xing pondered. "If relying on primordial energy resources for accumulation, who knows how much money and time it would cost."
After searching for a while, Zhao Xing found no further items related to spiritual energy.
"There’s still plenty of valuable or important stuff inside, but it couldn’t belong to me, taking it would bring trouble."
"However, having this unexpected joy is already quite good."
Zhao Xing quietly retreated and began contacting King Heavenly Destiny.
Gradually, more officials arrived in this sea area.
Since the subsequent events were not suitable for Zhao Xing’s involvement, King Heavenly Destiny accompanied Zhao Xing’s main body back to Chongming Prefecture.
It was also on this day that Chongming Prefecture began to tighten its net.
The doors of the Yin Mansion were suddenly kicked open, and a group of officers rushed in unannounced.
Two sets of vast arrays immediately locked down the entire Yin Mansion.
Yin Qi Quan jolted awake from his bed.
"Bastards, who dares to intrude upon the residence of the Sea Supervision!"
The leading official, clad in black hawk robes, held a compass arrow, gently pointed, and then tore apart Yin Qi Quan’s official robe.
