Seven Mysterious Spaces: My Rise to Power in the Cultivation World

Chapter 206 Fierce Battle with the Enemy

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhuang Yu's heart sank. He turned around with lightning speed, and Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi rushed into the deep treasure pavilion with ferocious expressions.

He clenched his fists, his eyes sharp, and warily scanned the two of them.

Inside the treasure pavilion, a dazzling array of treasures radiated an alluring light, but this light was now shrouded in a tense atmosphere, with a strong smell of gunpowder permeating the air.

As soon as Jin Yangzi entered, he went straight to Zhuang Yu. His hair and beard stood on end, and his eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast that had been provoked.

"You little thief! Hand over the treasure in your hand!" he roared, his five fingers forming claws, carrying a fierce gale, as he went straight for the Heavenly Sun Divine Sword in Zhuang Yu's hand.

Mu Zi stood to the side with a sinister look on her face, her hands rapidly forming hand seals while she chanted incantations.

Black runes flew from his fingertips, coiling around Zhuang Yu like venomous snakes, attempting to disrupt his actions.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yu was filled with rage.

These two guys chased me all the way here, and now they actually want to steal my treasure?

It’s simply wishful thinking!

He snorted coldly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, his figure flashing to dodge Jin Yangzi's attack. At the same time, he threw a punch, which hit Mu Zi squarely in the chest.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Mu Zi flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Mu Zi!" Jin Yangzi was shocked to see this and quickly withdrew his attack, turning around to check on Mu Zi's injuries.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuang Yu raised the Heavenly Sun Divine Sword high in his hand. The sword emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful pressure swept across the entire treasure pavilion.

"You want to steal my treasure? Then let's see if you have the ability!" Zhuang Yu roared, and the Heavenly Sun Divine Sword in his hand suddenly slashed down, a golden sword aura like a bolt of lightning cutting towards Jin Yangzi.

Jin Yangzi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly summoned a shield to defend himself.

"clang!"

With a loud crash, the shield in Jin Yangzi's hand shattered, and the sword energy, undiminished in its momentum, struck him hard in the chest.

Jin Yangzi screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

Zhuang Yu looked at the two men lying on the ground. He slowly walked to Jin Yangzi, squatted down, and said coldly, "I told you, you'd regret this..." He reached out, seemingly to snatch the Qiankun bag from Jin Yangzi's hand...

The coldness in Zhuang Yu's eyes was like the surface of a frozen lake, devoid of any warmth.

He slowly squatted down, and just as his fingertips were about to touch the Qiankun bag at Jin Yangzi's waist, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

He did not immediately seize the Qiankun Bag, but instead flipped his wrist, revealing an ancient jade pendant in his palm.

The jade pendant is a deep blue color, with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, and exudes a chilling aura.

This jade pendant is the treasure he found in the mysterious space—the Cold Soul Jade.

Its most significant characteristic is its ability to suppress fire-attribute techniques.

Jin Yangzi's martial arts are primarily based on fire, and the Cold Soul Jade is his nemesis.

Zhuang Yu gripped the Frost Jade tightly in his hand, and a surge of icy energy instantly flowed into his body, making his spiritual power more active.

He took a deep breath and activated the jade pendant. A faint blue light shone on the surface of the pendant, and the temperature dropped sharply wherever the light touched, as if a thin layer of frost had condensed in the air.

Jin Yangzi, who had been groaning in pain due to his serious injuries, was now shivering from the cold air.

He felt as if the fire-attribute spiritual power within his body was tightly bound by an invisible hand, making it impossible to mobilize even a fraction of it.

He stared at Zhuang Yu in horror, never expecting that this young man would have such a powerful trump card.

"What, you're not convinced?" Zhuang Yu's tone was slightly mocking.

He ignored Jin Yangzi's shock and turned his gaze to the side.

Just as Zhuang Yu was fully focused on dealing with Jin Yangzi, Mu Zi quietly got up from the ground.

A sinister smile played on his lips, and a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand, silently stabbing towards Zhuang Yu's back.

However, Zhuang Yu seemed to have anticipated his actions.

The instant Mu Zi made his move, he suddenly sidestepped, dodging the dagger, and at the same time grabbed Mu Zi's waist, holding him tightly like an iron clamp.

Mu Zi's expression changed. He never expected Zhuang Yu to react so quickly and with such strength. He struggled desperately but could not move at all, feeling as if his waist was about to be broken.

Seeing this, Jin Yangzi's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.

He gritted his teeth and tried with all his might to stand up, but found that his body was frozen and he could not move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Mu Zi was firmly controlled by Zhuang Yu.

"You guys are really annoying." Zhuang Yu put his arm around Mu Zi, his eyes filled with annoyance. He spoke slowly, then his eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly stopped.

He seemed to have thought of something, and the cold expression on his face gradually melted away...

Zhuang Yu, holding Mu Zi, was about to make a move when Wang Yao's gentle smiling face appeared in his mind, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

She was still waiting for him outside the celestial palace, waiting for his safe return.

Thinking of this, his tenderness transformed into an even stronger force, making him more determined to obtain the advanced cultivation technique.

He suddenly flung Mu Zi toward Jin Yangzi, and the two collided like two rolling gourds, letting out a muffled groan.

Zhuang Yu ignored them and instead turned his gaze to the depths of the treasure pavilion.

He sensed a powerful energy fluctuation there, which was the location of the advanced cultivation technique he had been searching for!

Without hesitation, he rushed into the depths, moving with lightning speed.

Seeing this, Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi disregarded their injuries and quickly got up to try to stop him.

Jin Yangzi conjured another ball of flame in his hand and attacked Zhuang Yu's back.

Mu Zi then pulled out a black short sword from her bosom and stabbed it at Zhuang Yu's ankle like a venomous snake.

However, Zhuang Yu was no longer the same person he once was.

He felt the surging spiritual energy within him, and his heart was filled with confidence.

Without turning his head, he struck out with his palm, and a powerful gust of wind instantly dispersed Jin Yangzi's flames.

At the same time, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure flashed like a ghost, dodging Mu Zi's sneak attack.

Deep within the treasure vault, on an antique wooden shelf, sits a book that gleams with gold.

The book's cover prominently displays four large characters: "Tian Gang Divine Technique".

Zhuang Yu recognized it at a glance; this was the advanced cultivation technique he wanted!

Seeing this, Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi tried their best to stop Zhuang Yu, but they were repeatedly repelled by his powerful strength.

Finally, Zhuang Yu arrived at the wooden frame and took the "Heavenly Divine Technique" into his hand.

A powerful energy instantly surged into his body, making him feel full of strength.

He slowly turned to the first page of the book, where a line of small print read: "Those who obtain this technique can attain the Great Dao of Immortality..."

A slight smile appeared on Zhuang Yu's lips. He knew he had succeeded!

Just then, the door to the treasure pavilion slowly opened, and a figure appeared at the entrance.

Zhuang Yu looked up and saw an old man in a white robe with a dignified face standing there, staring intently at him.

“Young man, you have obtained something you shouldn’t have…” the old man said slowly, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

Zhuang Yu held the Heavenly Gang Divine Technique in his hand, and a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from the book, making him feel excited.

Just then, the doors of the treasure pavilion opened again, and that familiar figure slowly appeared—the guardian of the celestial palace.

He was still dressed in a white robe, his face dignified, but there seemed to be a hint of deeper meaning in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi seemed to have grasped at a straw, struggling to get up, their eyes burning with the flames of revenge.

"Guardian, this person stole the Immortal Palace's most precious treasure, an unforgivable crime!" Jin Yangzi cried out hoarsely, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, looking utterly disheveled.

Mu Zi chimed in, staring at Zhuang Yu with venomous eyes, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Zhuang Yu felt a chill run down his spine and prepared for battle.

He gripped the Heavenly Divine Manual tightly in his hand, feeling the immense power contained within the book, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.

He met the guardian of the celestial palace with unwavering gaze, showing no fear whatsoever.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected.

The guardian of the Immortal Palace ignored Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi's accusations and instead turned his gaze to Zhuang Yu, saying calmly, "This boy is destined for this Heavenly Divine Technique, so let him be."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi were dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

They originally thought the guardians of the Celestial Palace would severely punish Zhuang Yu, but they didn't expect him to let him leave so easily.

Zhuang Yu was also taken aback, then overjoyed.

He bowed respectfully to the guardian of the celestial palace, then walked out of the treasure pavilion without looking back.

With each step he took, he felt the power of the Heavenly Divine Technique resonate more deeply with him, as if this technique was made for him out of the blue.

Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi watched Zhuang Yu leave, their hearts filled with resentment and anger, yet they were helpless.

They could only direct their hatred at the guardians of the Celestial Palace, but dared not utter a single complaint.

Zhuang Yu stepped out of the treasure pavilion, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt refreshed.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the once clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, and a sense of oppression enveloped the entire celestial palace.

Just as he was about to leave on his sword, he suddenly discovered that the restrictions surrounding the celestial palace had changed.

The originally faint golden light now became extremely dazzling, like sharp blades, radiating a chilling aura.

He reached out and touched the barrier, only to feel a powerful force rebounding back instantly, causing him to involuntarily take a few steps back.

“This…” Zhuang Yu frowned as he looked at the now dangerous restriction.

He knew full well that this mission was fraught with danger...

Suddenly, Wang Yao's voice rang in my ears: "Young Master, let's go quickly, this place..."
