Chapter 290 Awakening of the Artifact Spirit

Zhang Wunian did not speak, for no other reason than that he had never heard the ancestor mention it.

He even suspected that perhaps even the patriarch himself was unaware of this matter.

White celestial energy swirled and circled around the golden bell.

It was absorbed by the spirit of the Seven-Turn Demon-Suppressing Bell.

A moment later, a tiny figure covered in bells flew out from the golden bell and circled around Xiao Xuan twice.

It landed affectionately on Xiao Xuan's shoulder, and was about to snuggle closer to him when it was caught by the Undying Grass Little Man.

The little immortal grass figure rang out in a crisp voice, "Master, it's mine!"

Yan Jiayu lifted the two little ones up with one hand.

Liu Yunfei instinctively pleaded, "Xuanzi's partner, please have mercy."

Although Zhang Wunian and Yang Lei refrained from speaking, their eyes were filled with worry.

If you finally encounter a plant spirit or artifact spirit that hasn't appeared in tens of thousands of years, and you just watch it perish, you'll probably be heartbroken, unable to sleep at night, develop inner demons, and regret it for the rest of your life.

Yan Jiayu did not turn around, nor did he respond to Liu Yunfei's plea. He simply released his oppressive aura, shook the two trembling little creatures in his hands, and asked condescendingly, "Master, whose are they?"

The little immortal grass figure shook its small body, transformed into its true form, curled up into a small ball, and stammered, "Master... is... is the master's."

Yan Jiayu felt relieved upon hearing this.

Xiao Xuan reached out and took the two little ones from Yan Jiayu's hands, patting them reassuringly.

Startled by Yan Jiayu, the spirit of the Seven-Turn Demon-Suppressing Bell fled back into the bell.

The golden bell shone brightly, and as the light subsided, the bell, which was the size of a small mountain, shrank rapidly, shrinking to the size of a fist in no time.

It carefully brushed against Xiao Xuan's clothes, then transformed into a stream of light and flew into the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace.

Yan Jiayu was amused by the other party's cowardly yet audacious appearance, and mercifully let him go.

Xiao Xuan took Yan Jiayu's wrist and flew down to the entrance of the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace.

A cold, mechanical voice announced, "Host 006 has been detected to have triggered Main Quest Seven: Assist Yan Jiayu in his Tribulation and Ascension. Quest rewards will be distributed based on quest completion."

"Ding, main quest seven, assisting Yan Jiayu in transcending tribulation and ascending to immortality, has been added to host 006's quest list. Please complete the quest as soon as possible."

"Ding, detected that host 006 has triggered side quest 30: Awaken the unconscious cultivators of Yuntian Immortal Palace. Reward for completing the quest: points."

"Ding, side quest 006: Awaken the unconscious cultivators of Yuntian Immortal Palace. This has been added to Host 006's quest list. Please complete the quest as soon as possible."

Xiao Xuan crouched down and channeled his spiritual energy to check on Chen Chen, Zhang Qiao'er, Si Feng, Li Zhen, and their group.

Zhang Wunian's voice, tinged with regret, rang out, "This... all the meridians in his body are blocked, and there is not a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation in his dantian. This... these are symptoms of complete loss of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunfei was taken aback. He helped up a Foundation Establishment stage Shenji Pavilion disciple, probed him with his spiritual energy, and after a moment, shook his head with regret.

Zhang Wunian, Liu Yunfei, and Yang Lei exchanged glances. Without waiting for Xiao Xuan's investigation results, they rushed into the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace Secret Realm.

Seeing the disciples in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages lying on the ground below the white jade steps, his heart tightened.

Without stopping, they leaped across the jade bridge and entered a bamboo forest.
