Xia Houyun moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped the encirclement of the demon weapons and made his way to the depths of the ruins.

All around him were crumbling walls and broken remnants, making it impossible to discern the original appearance of the place.

Xia Houyun swiftly circled the entire back of the ruins.

He found nothing at all.

"Could it be that I was wrong? Is this not the core area of the secret treasure?"

Xia Houyun muttered to himself.

He frowned and checked again, still without any discovery.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Xia Houyun decided to leave.

However, just at that moment.

He suddenly noticed an inconspicuous stone.

A broken sword was embedded in the stone.

In fact, he had seen this stone when he first arrived.

But he had just glanced at it and didn't pay it any mind.

Now, however, he suddenly realized that the stone and the broken sword seemed unusual.

Xia Houyun walked slowly toward the stone.

He carefully examined the stone and then extended his divine sense.

At the moment his divine sense touched the stone, Xia Houyun suddenly became dazed.

This condition lasted for about three minutes, and then Xia Houyun returned to normal.

Once back to normal, Xia Houyun's face was filled with excitement.

"So that's it!"

"This is actually the Stone Sword!"

"No wonder it's a technique of an Ancient Sword Dao peak master."

With that, he hurried forward without saying anything further.

At this time, Cheng Sheng was still entangled with the group of demon weapons. Seeing Xia Houyun emerge, Cheng Sheng immediately shouted:

"Xia Houyun, hurry the hell up and help!"

"I'm at my limit."

Xia Houyun didn't hesitate and immediately joined the battle with his sword.

With Xia Houyun's assistance, the two of them worked together, and in less than half an hour, they completely eliminated the group of demon weapons.

As the battle ended, Cheng Sheng sat on the ground, grabbed some Spiritual Medicine, and swallowed it in large gulps.

"Damn, if you'd been any later, I would have been done for here."

"So, what did you find after being gone so long? Don't tell me you found nothing?"

Xia Houyun chuckled.

"I discovered a Stone Sword left from the Ancient Times!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng jumped up.

He exclaimed in disbelief:

"Is it really the Stone Sword?"

Being from the Heavenly King Sea, Cheng Sheng naturally understood the significance of the Stone Sword.

It was a technique that only those who reached the pinnacle of the Sword Dao in the Ancient Era could perform.

By infusing their Sword Dao comprehension and swordsmanship inheritance into a special stone, they could preserve it all.

Those who followed could enter the Stone Sword and have the chance to comprehend or even inherit the Daoist Inheritance of the Sword Dao master.

Xia Houyun laughed:

"Of course."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Cheng Sheng didn't care about recovering anymore and dragged Xia Houyun as they rushed back.

Soon, they were once again in front of the Stone Sword.

Cheng Sheng immediately went forward to examine it and then excitedly exclaimed:

"It's really the Stone Sword."

"It's just a pity that neither of us uses a sword."

Xia Houyun, however, dismissively said:

"Blades and swords are both weapons; essentially, there's no difference."

"I've already entered the Stone Sword, and the Sword Dao within is very profound. If we can comprehend some of it, it will greatly inspire my Blade Dao and your Fist Dao as well."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng nodded.

"Then let's begin."

"I hope we gain a lot from this!"

With that said, both of them simultaneously extended their divine sense into the Stone Sword.

...

On the other side.

After Zhou Yu and Gu Zifeng killed the Demon General, they found a cave in the valley and began to recuperate and restore their cultivation.

After half a day, Zhou Yu was fully recovered.

When he opened his eyes, Gu Zifeng was already standing guard at the cave entrance.

Seeing Zhou Yu awaken, Gu Zifeng immediately smiled and said:

"Brother Zhou, have you fully recovered?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

"Thank you for the Spiritual Medicine, Brother Gu."

Gu Zifeng chuckled.

"I haven't even thanked you for saving my life."

Zhou Yu didn't stand on ceremony and quickly changed the subject, looking around:

"Brother Gu, have you noticed any changes in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power around here?"

"Changes in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power?" Gu Zifeng was taken aback and immediately began to sense the surroundings.

After a moment, he too showed a look of surprise.

"It seems you might be right."

"Could it be that there's some Heaven and Earth Treasure nearby?"

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"I don't think it's because of Heaven and Earth Treasures."

Saying this, Zhou Yu released his divine sense, and after a moment, he hesitantly remarked:

"It seems that the Dark Demon Qi transformed after being struck by my Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder..."

In fact, when he used the Thunder God Absolute Formation to trap the Demon General and blasted it with Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, Zhou Yu had keenly noticed.

The areas struck by the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder exhibited a surge of Spiritual Energy.

However, during the intense battle and with an overwhelming presence of Dark Demon Qi, Zhou Yu hadn't paid it much mind.

But as the Demon General perished, the remaining Dark Demon Qi immediately diminished.

At first, Zhou Yu thought the Dark Demon Qi had dissipated by itself.

But he soon discovered that a small portion of the Power Of Thunder from his previous Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder still lingered in the air.

It was this residual Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder that caused the Dark Demon Qi to undergo a transformation.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Gu Zifeng was initially stunned, but then he quickly checked for himself.

Soon, he too noticed the peculiar phenomenon.

Gu Zifeng looked puzzled, but not long after, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he showed a look of excitement.

"Brother Zhou, I figured it out..."
