If Yuanbao were to study it herself, it would take at least ten years or more to figure it out.
Luckily, with Gao Xuan around, Yuanbao just needs to act as a tool person.
Gao Xuan instructed Yuanbao using Divine Sense to activate the Innate Five Elents Magnetic Divine Light, easily cutting small openings in the Five Elents Celestial Net.
Seizing the opportunity, Gao Xuan led Yuanbao and Shui Qingbo through the Array, entering the inner layers of the Celestial Secret Palace.
The Celestial Secret Palace believed that the Five Elents Qiankun Demon-locking Array protected it solidly, impenetrable by anyone.
Aside from the Array, no other defensive asures were set up.
The three of Gao Xuan used the Earth Escape Technique to traverse the thick rock layers and arrived at a Secret Palace deep beneath the Celestial Secret Palace.
At the core of the Secret Palace was a Five-Colored Wheel, about a foot in diater. The Five-Colored Wheel hovered in midair, slowly rotating.
Centered around the Five-Colored Wheel, the vast Five Elents Qiankun Locking Demon Array that enveloped the entire Celestial Secret Palace moved slowly.
Unquestionably, the Five-Colored Wheel was the Five Elents Wheel.
Next to the Five Elents Wheel sat an old Daoist.
The old Daoist was white-haired, wrinkled, and his Primordial Qi Cultivation was extrely profound; he was a top-level Golden Core True Master.
He sat cross-legged with closed eyes, likely ditating, completely unaware of Gao Xuan and their arrival.
Mainly, with the Five Elents Qiankun Demon-locking Array outside, the old Daoist never imagined anyone could sneak in quietly.
Until Gao Xuan and others stood before him, the old Daoist vaguely sensed a refreshing fragrance that had the ethereal quality of sandalwood but without the smoke, and had the serene presence of orchids yet was more enduring.
Such a subtle fragrance, although elusive, could penetrate straight into the Divine Soul.
The old Daoist imdiately sensed sothing was wrong; he opened his eyes to see Gao Xuan, Yuanbao, and Shui Qingbo.
The old Daoist almost urinated in fright; when did these three strangers suddenly appear?
Looking closely, the three of Gao Xuan were all extraordinarily handso, with remarkable deanors. Especially Shui Qingbo and Yuanbao, with clear Spiritual Light emanating from them, it was evident they possessed the Purified Dharma Body of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
These two girls were actually Nascent Soul True Monarchs?
After seeing clearly, the old Daoist nearly had his Golden Core fracture in fright.
Cultivators can revert to youth, and it isn’t uncommon for Nascent Soul True Monarchs to retain a girl-like appearance. But Shui Qingbo and Yuanbao had a youthful purity and vitality characteristic of the young.
This was sothing an experienced Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn’t possibly have.
Moreover, the handso young Daoist who stood in the middle showed no discernible depth of Cultivation, yet occupied the main position, with the two girls half a step behind and clearly regarding Gao Xuan as their leader.
This proved that Gao Xuan was the one among the three who could take charge.
The old Daoist was even more shocked; when did three Nascent Soul True Monarchs erge in Penglai Province, and so young? More terrifying was that the three silently infiltrated the Underground Palace of the Celestial Secret Palace; they were obviously not here as guests!
The old Daoist realized this and was about to mobilize Mana to activate the Five Elents Wheel, but a point of cold light had already pierced into his brow. A flash of Golden Light shone from the Magical Crown on the old Daoist’s head, but it could not block the point of cold light.
At the Nascent Soul level, Gao Xuan’s use of the Profound Nether Ice Needle was not sothing a small Magical Artifact could block.
The cold light, infused with Profound Nether Ice Yuan Qi, instantly froze the old Daoist’s Golden Core, his Divine Soul, and his body.
The old Daoist’s face turned pale, and he lost all consciousness.
Gao Xuan glanced at the hovering, rotating Five Elents Wheel, and at this proximity, he could feel the imnse and vast Power contained within the Five Elents Wheel.
Such Power far exceeded the Nascent Soul level and likely surpassed the Divinity Transformation level.
Gao Xuan actually knew nothing about the Five Elents Wheel, but he had heard of this Divine Artifact from Zhou Huang. At the ti, he hadn’t paid it any mind.
Unexpectedly, the Five Elents Wheel was so powerful.
One could only say that the Five Elents Sect was truly inept, holding such a Divine Artifact yet falling to a third-tier status. The Celestial Secret Sect was equally incompetent; such a powerful Five Elents Wheel could only serve as an Array core, with none able to wield it. It was ludicrous.
If Wang Haichan could wield the Five Elents Wheel, he would have long swept through Penglai, and it wouldn’t have been Li Buyi challenging him.
Gao Xuan thought these cultivators were truly worthless, like sitting on a mountain of gold and begging.
The descendants of the Five Elents Sect were no better, possessing the Five Elents Secret Technique yet failing to produce talent. It required his ergence out of nowhere, or else the Five Elents Sect would have been exterminated.
Gao Xuan really couldn’t understand what these people were thinking.
However, he also had no way to refine the Five Elents Wheel. The Power was too great, with a lingering trace of Divine Sense that was nearly worn out.
It seed to be a Divine Sense imprint left by the founder of the Celestial Secret Sect, allowing the sect to use the Five Elents Wheel as the core for the Array.
Fortunately, Yuanbao possessed the Innate Five Elents Magnetic Divine Light; the transformation of Primordial Qi matched the Five Elents Wheel, and the Magnetic Divine Light could swiftly wear down the remaining trace of Divine Sense in the Five Elents Wheel.
Once Yuanbao mastered the Five Elents Wheel, she would truly have no rivals in Penglai Province.
Gao Xuan told Yuanbao, "Just like earlier when breaking the Array, slowly erode the Divine Sense on the Five Elents Wheel."
Yuanbao’s eyes glead; the Five Elents Wheel, it shimred brilliantly and was clearly a formidable entity.
Next to them, Shui Qingbo felt a bit disappointed, though she knew even if she had the Five Elents Wheel, she couldn’t use it. Only Yuanbao’s Innate Five Elents Magnetic Divine Light could break the Wheel’s restrictions.
Gao Xuan said to Shui Qingbo, "Don’t rush; I’ll find another Divine Artifact for you. A vice sect leader on equal footing must be treated fairly."
Shui Qingbo glanced at Gao Xuan but remained silent; she found nothing amusing about it.
"You stay here to protect Yuanbao; I’m going to their Treasure Vault."
Eroding the Divine Sense imprint on the Five Elents Wheel would take ti, so Gao Xuan didn’t need to wait. With Shui Qingbo present, it was enough.
To guard against unexpected events, Gao Xuan handed the Fiery Fire Ring and Taiyi Celestial Spirit Wheel to Shui Qingbo.
Gao Xuan used the Earth Escape Technique to penetrate upward. He didn’t know where the Treasure Vault of the Celestial Secret Sect was, but he could locate the area with the strongest Primordial Qi response.
Penetrating multiple layers of defenses directly from underground, Gao Xuan arrived in a sealed Underground Palace.
The Underground Palace spanned ten zhang in width and ten zhang in length.
Inside, there were no lamps or candles, only Magical Artifacts on shelves emitting seven-colored Spiritual Light, illuminating the chamber with vibrant colors. It felt sowhat like a disco with flashing lights.
There were likely hundreds of Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts, along with various Marvels whose nas were unknown.
A thousand-year-old sect must have a communal Treasure Vault. It wasn’t possible to keep everything in personal Qiankun Bags.
The Array outside the Underground Palace was heavily protected, but thanks to the Earth Escape Technique and the Cyan Wood Wind-Manipulation Hairpin, with Qiankun Shift, Gao Xuan could break almost all Protective Magics.
Thus, upon entering, he knew he had found the right place.
His gaze swept around and instantly locked onto a Long Spear placed in the corner.
The Long Spear was dark gold in color, with a blade one and a half feet long, and the entire spear was nine feet nine inches long, from blade to shaft, covered in countless intricate dark gold Runes.
The Long Spear had a dominating and formidable design, coupled with an indescribable heavy depth. Without needing anyone to tell him, Gao Xuan knew this must be the Qianyuan Divine Spear.
Gao Xuan casually grabbed the spear, feeling its weight. It wasn’t that the spear was particularly heavy itself, rather, the spear seed connected to the earth, and lifting it imparted a sense of boundless Thick Earth Power.
As Gao Xuan lifted the Qianyuan Divine Spear, the entire Underground Palace seed to tilt and sway slightly.
The Qianyuan Divine Spear was self-contained; Gao Xuan’s Divine Sense had no effect.
Gao Xuan wasn’t surprised. If the Qianyuan Divine Spear could be easily refined, it would have been absorbed by the Celestial Secret Sect long ago, rather than gathering dust here.
Though the Qianyuan Divine Spear’s Power seed restrained and appeared less formidable than the Five Elents Wheel, Gao Xuan felt that its quality might surpass the Five Elents Wheel.
While pondering, he heard soone outside the Underground Palace exclaiming fiercely, "Who dares infiltrate the Celestial Secret Palace? Kill without rcy!"
