Under Tianxie Ziyin's guidance, Yang Che used the full pattern star stone as the Formation base, arranging one strange Formation after another beside the purple light pillar, Formations that even he found somewhat incomprehensible.

Four days later.

Yang Che suddenly remembered what Wei Shan and her brother had said—that within this 'Purple Heaven Secret Realm,' they would be automatically teleported out after five days. He immediately told Tianxie Ziyin his concerns.

Tianxie Ziyin immediately transmitted a message to the black-robed Demon Cultivator, Sha E, and then learned that it was merely a trick by the City Lord's Mansion.

Sha E's Cultivation had encountered a Bottleneck, and he urgently needed a large quantity of full pattern star stones, which was why he came up with the idea of opening the Purple Heaven Secret Realm to obtain a large amount of full pattern star stones.

However, to avoid offending descendants of ancient Cultivators like Sha Jin, even with the Purple Heaven Secret Realm open, due to the hidden Formations within, these people would not be able to reach precious Secret Realms like 'Jie Tian Peak' or 'Purple Cloud Sea'.

They could only gain some minor benefits in the outer areas, and many Cultivators who entered couldn't even recover the cost of five hundred full pattern star stones within five days.

However, the City Lord's Mansion would only attribute this to those Cultivators' bad luck.

As Tianxie Ziyin's servant, Sha E naturally dared not conceal anything and confessed everything.

Moreover, Sha E did not think there was any problem with doing this; Cultivation resources were inherently limited, and in a world where the strong preyed on the weak, everything was decided by the stronger party.

For example, at present, he, Sha E, was a Soul Transformation Stage demon Cultivator, a hegemon in his own right, but being inferior to others, he was still forced to serve Tianxie Ziyin as a slave for a thousand years.

On the ancient flying boat.

A full month passed.

Only then did Yang Che completely set up the Formation.

At this moment, he heard Tianxie Ziyin say, "This Formation is mainly used to imprison and subdue the half-asleep artifact spirit of this ancient flying boat. Although this artifact spirit is in a half-asleep state, its will to resist is still incredibly strong. Even if it's imprisoned, it won't be easy for you to completely suppress and subdue it."

"Mm. I know. I'll start now."

Yang Che's face showed an extremely determined expression, and he formed peculiar hand seals, striking them all into the Formation.

After the Formation was activated, a large expanse of white light mixed with faint golden hues appeared.

Before long, an extremely blurry humanoid shadow appeared within the Formation.

At first, this shadow seemed somewhat muddled, but it quickly became frantic, struggling with extreme desperation.

Strange spiritual power threads gradually flew from Yang Che's hands, passing through the Formation's barrier and directly enveloping the humanoid shadow.

In an instant, Yang Che immediately felt as if his mind had been suddenly pricked by a needle, experiencing an extremely intense pain.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and the intense pain distorted Yang Che's features. He even almost involuntarily cut off the spiritual power threads.

He gritted his teeth and endured, knowing that the more fiercely the humanoid shadow resisted and struggled, the more it indicated that the Formation was working.

Thus, while in extreme pain, the spiritual power threads in Yang Che's hands became more and more numerous, and the humanoid shadow within the Formation was gradually completely enveloped.

Gradually, as the humanoid shadow became more and more tightly enveloped, the intensity of its resistance also began to weaken.

And the stinging pain in Yang Che's mind likewise became lighter and lighter, until the humanoid shadow was completely enveloped by the spiritual power threads, and the stinging pain also disappeared.

Only then did Yang Che realize that his entire back was already drenched in cold sweat.

He dared not relax in the slightest. After gathering the spiritual power threads into one hand, he quickly formed peculiar hand seals with the other.

The Formation's barrier also rapidly shrunk.

In the blink of an eye, it had completely covered the humanoid shadow, which was extremely tightly enveloped by spiritual power threads.

The spiritual power threads continuously trembled, emitting strange, faint glows.

Yang Che immediately began to forcibly refine and subdue this humanoid shadow through the spiritual power threads and the Formation...

Half a month later.

The spiritual power threads on the humanoid shadow gradually began to fall off, until the humanoid shadow was fully revealed, and the Formation also collapsed.

The humanoid shadow slowly became clear.

It turned out to be a translucent little girl, which greatly surprised Yang Che.

The little girl's eyes showed confusion, and upon seeing Yang Che, she became even more bewildered at first, but then gradually showed a look of dependence, running towards Yang Che.

Without a word, Yang Che directly brought the little girl into the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

From then on, Yang Che finally managed to subdue the artifact spirit of this ancient flying boat.

"This King is truly surprised. This little girl has existed for even longer than this King."

As soon as the little girl entered the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space, Yang Che heard Tianxie Ziyin's extremely surprised voice.

Yang Che was extremely weak and exhausted at this moment, but he still followed closely into the Magic Stone Space.

Seeing Yang Che appear, the little girl immediately went forward and tightly gripped his arm, but her delicate little face showed more of a bewildered expression.

"What is your name?"

Tianxie Ziyin, uncharacteristically, spoke without her usual coldness, but with a touch of gentleness.

Her rare gentle voice immediately caused a slight tremor in Yang Che's heart.

The little girl shook her head, seemingly having a headache, and a hint of pain appeared on her small face.

At this moment, she suddenly extended her plump, jade-like little hand and pointed to the 'nine-leaf dark yang fruit' in the Tongyou Medicine Garden.

Before Yang Che could react, Tianxie Ziyin reached out and beckoned, and one of the still relatively intact, pitch-black fruits detached and flew towards the little girl.

The little girl eagerly took it, seemingly having been hungry for a long time, and swallowed the mo yang fruit in one bite.

Afterward, a slightly satisfied smile finally appeared on her small face.

Immediately after, she let go of Yang Che's arm and actually ran off to chase and play with the 'Winged Fire Dragonfly'.

The Winged Fire Dragonfly did not show any hostility towards her; in fact, they circled and flew around her continuously.

"What a strange ancient artifact spirit, but its memory seems to be completely lost. Yang Che, you can go and gather the purple sky fungus now. This King will help you communicate with this little girl and slowly bring the flying boat into the Magic Stone Space."

After Tianxie Ziyin finished speaking, she walked towards the little girl.

Yang Che then left the Magic Stone Space, and he found that the purple light pillar, which had been continuously gushing out, had also strangely disappeared.

He successfully arrived at the open space where the middle and front sections of the flying boat met, and finally saw many small, purple, umbrella-shaped Spirit Medicine growing within it—exactly the 'purple sky fungus' described in the Jade Slip that Old Ancestor Old Man had given him earlier.

With a rather excited heart, Yang Che carefully gathered all the mature purple sky fungus, storing them one by one.

He also transplanted all the immature purple sky fungus seedlings into the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

Just as he finished these tasks, Yang Che suddenly felt the flying boat beneath his feet violently Sha E and tilt, as if it were about to plunge into the bottomless purple cloud abyss.
