Although the stone tablet was still incomplete, Yang Che, after carefully and thoroughly studying all the fragments and integrating all the information, combined with the Nine Heart Thunder Flame's yellow core's memory of its former master 'Meng', continuously made meticulous deductions, gradually uncovering more secrets about the Five Elements Domain and the Five Emotions Hall.

This Ancient Remnant was actually an Immortal Cave belonging to the Five Emotions Palace Master.

The 'iron cage building' on the periphery should be a medicine garden created by the Five Emotions Palace Master.

The reason it was built in that location was likely to lure more Cultivators or Yao Beasts into it to be killed, so that their fresh blood could be used to water and cultivate the 'bloodline vine'.

The center of this Remnant was, in fact, the true Immortal Cave of the Five Emotions Palace Master.

Outside, it was enveloped by a mysterious Formation.

Inside, it was divided into the Five Elements Domain according to Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, and Water.

These Five Elements Domains were arranged and built according to the five directions: East Wood, South Fire, Central Earth, West Gold, and North Water.

Within each domain, there was a Five Emotions Hall.

The Road of Wrath in the Wood Domain, the Joy Hall in the Fire Domain, the Contemplation Palace in the Earth Domain, the Sorrow Hall in the Gold Domain, and the Fear Hall in the Water Domain.

Each was built according to the external appearance of its corresponding Five Elements Spirit Beast, and the guardian beasts of the Five Emotions Hall were the Five Elements Spirit Beasts.

Within the Five Emotions Hall, there were also the Road of Wrath, the Joy Road, the Thinking Path, the Road of Grief, and the Path of Fear.

At the end of each path, there was a suspended bronze box and the Five Emotions Beasts guarding the bronze box.

They were the Wrath Beast Cangyang, the Joy Beast Yanji, the Contemplation Beast Jun Ox, the Grief Beast Haogou, and the Fear Beast Xuanzhu.

These Five Emotions Paths, Five Emotions Beasts, and the bronze box were all set up by the Five Emotions Palace Master before her death.

Of the five palaces, only the Contemplation Palace in the Earth Domain was hidden.

Combining 'Meng's' memories and the presence of remnant souls in each of the Five Elements Domains, Yang Che vaguely guessed the true intention of the Five Emotions Palace Master.

Gradually, a grand scheme and conspiracy, laid out by the Five Emotions Palace Master spanning countless years, completely emerged in Yang Che's mind.

Yang Che couldn't help but shiver.

He even felt a sense of dread again.

If this was truly the case, he was temporarily unable to judge whether his current actions were also part of the Five Emotions Palace Master's design.

Two terrifying cold lights suddenly flashed across Yang Che's eyes.

Regardless, he must prepare for various eventualities.

Since he had reached this point and was in his current predicament, the choices made earlier could no longer be criticized or judged as right or wrong.

Only by proceeding cautiously from this moment on, and trying every possible method to leave this Five Elements Domain and safely return to the Dark Abyss, could he succeed.

While the Nine Heart Thunder Flame was still devouring and refining the 'Fire Spirit Breath' within Sha Rou's body, Yang Che's mind raced, and various countermeasures flooded his thoughts...

Several days later.

The Nine Heart Thunder Flame returned to Yang Che's body.

Sha Rou sat cross-legged opposite him, her eyes closed, doing her final consolidation.

Staring at the woman before him, who was extremely alluring and visually striking to a man, Yang Che unceremoniously indulged his 'eye addiction'.

He then began to ponder whether Sha Rou could truly be trusted.

At least within this 'Five Elements Domain', he had to ensure that Sha Rou was genuinely cooperating with him and had no other intentions.

After a long while, Yang Che secretly nodded.

He and Sha Rou each held the other's 'handle'.

That was the sound image jade slip they had both inscribed in the desert thousands of miles outside Zi Tian City.

At this moment, both of them also had a common goal.

Therefore, at least regarding their escape from the Five Elements Domain to save their lives, there was no conflict of interest between them.

Of course, Yang Che would never trust the other party without reservations or without taking any precautions.

For example, just now, when the Nine Heart Thunder Flame was helping Sha Rou clear that 'Fire Spirit Breath', as per their earlier discussion, a final trace was still left, not yet completely cleared.

It was precisely by seizing this opportunity that Yang Che instructed the Nine Heart Thunder Flame to subtly leave a small hidden trick within her body.

If Sha Rou was truly cooperating with him and had no other intentions, this small hidden trick would gradually dissipate into nothingness within Sha Rou's body as time passed, causing her no harm.

Another hour passed.

Sha Rou opened her eyes.

"Yang Daoyou, thank you."

Sha Rou's voice was as gentle as ever.

However, there seemed to be something more in the depths of her eyes, something unknown to others.

"No need to thank me. I also rely on you. We must cooperate fully from now on. Only then do we have a chance to leave this Five Elements Domain."

Yang Che's expression was solemn.

Although he knew that on this Road of Wrath, due to the effect of the yin yang stone, the few remnant soul women outside could not sense the situation here, he still used sound transmission to tell Sha Rou his plan.

Sha Rou occasionally showed extremely surprised expressions, and at the same time, she admired this 'Yang Daoyou' more and more.

"Let's go to the unknown places that the other two rope bridges lead to. If my guess is correct, there will definitely be some gains. But we must be extra careful."

Yang Che instructed, then left the Road of Wrath with Sha Rou. At the same time, he quickly took out the bead formed by refining the Ice Spirit Breath and Gold Spirit Breath from the Magic Stone Space and held it in his hand.

The two simultaneously chose another rope bridge each, extinguished the Yin Spirits on it, and entered the unknown area ahead.

Of course, Yang Che did not forget the 'yin yang stone' buried under the 'Road of Wrath', but he kept a close watch.

At this moment, a lush, vibrant green area appeared in front of Yang Che.

It was a verdant bamboo sea.

The bamboo forest swayed, and the green waves rippled like waves.

Yang Che, relying on his many years of experience in cultivating the 'Tongyou Medicine Garden', immediately smelled the scent of Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plant within this bamboo sea.

It seemed to be concealed by a Formation Restriction, which made these scents extremely faint. If he hadn't dealt with Spirit Medicine all year round, he might not have been able to discover them.

He directly entered the bamboo sea.

After a search, Yang Che indeed found an extremely hidden place that was truly concealed by a Formation Restriction.

However, the power of this Formation Restriction seemed to have been eroded by time and had become very weak.

Otherwise, the scent of the Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plant would not have leaked out and been so keenly detected by Yang Che.

Without any hesitation, Yang Che immediately struck out with a golden spell to break the Formation and landed it on it.

It only took him half an hour to break the Restriction.

Upon entering, Yang Che immediately saw a medicine field about ten zhang long and wide.

He suddenly froze.

After carefully sensing with his Divine Sense, his face immediately lit up with wild joy.

This was actually a piece of Mystic Ranked Spiritual Soil!

After Yang Che confirmed it was Mystic Ranked Spiritual Soil, he immediately dug it up without any hesitation, along with the Spirit Medicine on it, and moved it into the 'Tongyou Medicine Garden'.

After digging it up, Yang Che discovered that this piece of Mystic Ranked Spiritual Soil was more than three zhang thick, nearly ten times the size of his original Mystic Ranked Spiritual Soil.

After the Spiritual Soil was dug away, an incredibly huge deep pit appeared here.

Yang Che looked around and found nothing else valuable, so he quickly left the place and returned to the other end of the rope bridge.

Seeing that Sha Rou seemed not to have come out yet, Yang Che quickly returned to the 'Road of Wrath' and dug up the yin yang stone.

However, when he dug up the yin yang stone and returned to the rope bridge, he found that Sha Rou still hadn't returned.

Just then, he suddenly received a clear sound transmission from Shui Tianxin: "Zhang Gu, how is it going?"

Yang Che immediately responded 'weakly': "Senior Shui, I have already obtained the Key of Wrath. But this female Cultivator who competed with me for the key is truly powerful. In order to seize the Key of Joy from her, we are both injured now, and it just depends on who recovers first. But please rest assured, Senior, I have Medicinal Pills for recovery, and I will definitely recover faster than her."

"Good. Then be extra careful. As long as you get the key from her, when you reach the Contemplation Palace in the Earth Domain, we will definitely not treat you unfairly," Shui Tianxin said gently as before.

Yang Che said nothing more, his eyes narrowed, preparing to expend some mental effort to find the rope bridge Sha Rou had taken earlier.

However, just then, he suddenly saw Sha Rou finally return.

Sha Rou seemed to have suffered a slight injury, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Yang Che pondered for a moment, then quickly took out a 'Protect Yuan Pill' and handed it to Sha Rou, saying: "Take it quickly. Once you recover, we will immediately go to the 'Earth Domain'."

Sha Rou nodded, swallowed the Protect Yuan Pill without any hesitation...

About half an hour later.

Sha Rou took out that pink 'Small World Piercing Bead', and at the same time, her expression looked a bit strange as she looked at Yang Che.
