Su He’s voice came through.
What lay within the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace, and what exactly was it suppressing?
Su He had yet to fully understand.
The last time she entered, besides her own corpse, she discovered nothing.
Holding the sword in one hand, Su Huanian smiled faintly, “Alright!”
Changing clothes was not a hurry, since her husband wanted to go, they might as well take a look!
Having been in retreat for thirty to forty years, she also felt a stir of action after so much stillness.
The combination of movement and stillness in cultivation doesn’t necessarily yield better results through constant isolation.
As she spoke, her figure flashed, and she was already perched lightly atop Su He’s shell, gently sitting to the side.
Only with Su He would she act this way; in other places, Su Huanian always maintained an aloof and upright demeanor.
Su He chuckled, his body forming a wave below, carrying them towards the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace.
The patterns of the Four Sacred Beasts on the palace grew brighter, especially Xuan Wu (Black Tortoise) and White Tiger Group, which seemed almost ready to leap out, as if they would come to life.
He could understand the change in Xuan Wu, but why the hubbub with White Tiger?
Was it because of the Netherworld White Tiger in the Inner World, or was it due to the White Tiger Passage?
Su He pondered for a moment, while Su Huanian did not disturb him.
Only when Su He shook his head smilingly and lightly pushed the gate of the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace with his forepaw, did the stone door thunderously open.
It was still the same passage, unchanged, and everything had reverted to its initial state.
Su He stepped inside, always mindful of Su Huanian on his back.
Su Huanian lightly supported his shell, straightened up a bit, and as she followed Su He into the passage, she only felt a stream of air flowing over her, much like water, without any other reaction.
Turning back, Su He saw the door behind the passage had closed; this place indeed would not obstruct Su Huanian!
The door thundered shut, and the tomb passage fell silent for a moment, then from the depths of the tomb chamber, a hollow droning sound emerged.
It was like the sound of wind in a conch shell.
Su He and Su Huanian exchanged glances, and Su Huanian nodded slightly, “Listen with your heart?”
Listening with your heart was her sword from a previous life, but having stabbed into that stele, it was unknown whether it had been retrieved.
The depths of this tomb passage indeed gave her the sensation of listening with your heart.
The Fairy Sword Spirit even emerged, showing an expression indistinguishable from Ya Ya’s, tilting its head as it looked towards the depths of the tomb passage.
“Let’s go take a look!” Decided by Su He, a wave formed beneath him, and he rushed into the tomb chamber.
Inside, everything remained unchanged, desolate and a coffin!
The corpse of his previous life’s avatar had long since disappeared from the coffin.
The droning sound was coming from beneath the coffin.
As soon as Su He entered with Su Huanian, the coffin was immediately flipped over.
A flash of white light shot towards Su Huanian, happily twirling around her.
It was a sword sheath!
Without a sword, it was merely an ivory white scabbard.
The Spirit Immortal Sword Spirit looked at the scabbard, a flash of astonishment in its eyes, followed by a rise of terror, jumping back into the Fairy Sword and leaping upward to fly out.
However, it was chased by a flash of white light from the scabbard.
During the Spirit’s screams, it clicked onto the Fairy Sword.
Then, light after light flashed on the scabbard, forming Symbol chains, wrapping around the Fairy Sword and merging into it.
The edge of the Spirit Immortal Sword had subsided.
From a genuine treasure surpassing Stepping Sky Seven-fold, it began to gradually decline, Fairy People State… Stepping Sky Seven-fold… Six-fold… Five-fold…
It stopped only when it reached the edge of Stepping Sky Five-fold.
“Sealing?” Su He asked softly, but did not interfere.
He had seen this scabbard before; it had been held by Tan Tai in ancient times, the scabbard of Tan Tai Immortal Sovereign’s treasured sword.
It sealed the Spirit Immortal Sword all the way to Stepping Sky Five-fold before stopping.
Su Huanian’s eyes brightened, she gestured with her hand, and the Fairy Sword flew to her.
The ivory white scabbard had changed its appearance to match the Spirit Immortal Sword more closely now, carrying a frosty white hue, elongated and slightly narrower.
Su Huanian drew the sword from its sheath, lightly swung it, and her beautiful eyes shone even brighter.
The Spirit was indeed sealed, adjusted for use up to Stepping Sky Five-fold.
The original Spirit Immortal Sword was like a Yuan Devouring Beast that no amount of True Yuan was enough for, and its full power required input from Princess Snow.
The grade of the Spirit Immortal Sword was too high; even using the same Swordsmanship, the Spirit Immortal Sword consumed more!
Like the same half-mile walk, an elephant’s consumption was far more than a mouse’s.
Su Huanian had entered Stepping Sky Four-fold, but her combat power couldn’t be considered ordinary Four-fold, even Stepping Sky Five-fold would definitely not survive under her hand.
At this moment, Su Huanian could be considered as a beginner in Stepping Sky Six-fold Cultivator.
However, the consumption of the Spirit Immortal Sword at Stepping Sky Six-fold was still a bit too great, Stepping Sky Five-fold was just right!
The Spirit Immortal Sword Spirit fell out of the sword, glaring resentfully at the scabbard.
The scabbard, however, paid it no mind, shamelessly fitted itself upon it.
Su He smiled and turned to Su Huanian, asking, “Did you leave anything else here?”
Su Huanian shook her head, “This place was not left by me.”
The layout style of the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace was not her preference; perhaps it was Baiyin.
Moreover, objects left from a previous life always matched her Tao Cultivation, like Sword Mountain; last time like Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, she felt nothing.
It was the same with the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace; when her husband first opened it, she felt nothing.
This time, her Boundary Status was higher, and she sensed it even before the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace was opened.
At this moment, even if there were more things inside the Tao Palace, they probably wouldn’t be easy to obtain.
Perhaps she would have to wait until her husband opened the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace next time!
“Then let’s head back,” decided Su He, after checking the tomb chamber again and confirming there was nothing new, with a touch of disappointment, he headed back towards the tomb passage.
The records of the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace were in the tomb passage.
