#1295 - Chapter 1295 Recognition of the Master

On the very spot where Ye Kong had been rummaging around in the Ten Thousand Bones Cave, a blinding flash of spiritual light erupted, and instantly, mechanisms on the adjacent wall sprung open.

The pure-gold Qitian Ring revealed itself.

As expected of the Qitian Ring, third among the Ten Great Spiritual Artifacts, its emergence caused its entire aura to completely engulf the cave, dwarfing everything around it. The spiritual light illuminated the earth, even the battered Xie was bathed in its glow.

The Xie whimpered and howled at this moment.

But Ye Kong's attention was entirely focused on the Qitian Ring.

The rumors were true, the Qitian Ring indeed possessed such earth-shattering power as to make the world submit.

Even Ye Kong was momentarily stunned, allowing Fu Qi to directly reach out and snatch the Qitian Ring.

"Ye Kong… hahaha, cough cough…" Fu Qi clutched the Qitian Ring, flaunting it wildly at Ye Kong.

Ye Kong turned and chased after him.

The others who had been trapped outside had already been teleported back, leaving only the rune array set up by Ye Kong. The ferocious beasts surrounding the area roared and charged towards Ye Kong, but he easily dodged them and joined the chase.

Outside Mount Baolai, the blinding sunlight caused Ye Kong to momentarily falter.

In that instant, Fu Qi had already vanished from sight.

After adapting to the light, Ye Kong took another look, and what the heck? The connection between the area in front of him and Zhufeng Island was gone; Mount Baolai stood alone.

It was precisely the moment of high tide; the tide carried Mount Baolai to the Land of Endless, forming a completely isolated island.

The tides on both sides crashed against the shore, and the boundless expanse stretched as far as the eye could see, with the boundary suspended high above, a breathtaking sight to behold.

Ye Kong turned and lay down, having spent too long in the dark cave, even he felt a bit damp.

The sunlight shone directly on Ye Kong, and he glanced back, a sudden thought emerging in his mind.

Perhaps the Qitian Ring that Fu Qi took was fake?

Ye Kong shook his head, but the idea grew stronger, forcing him to stand up and return to the cave to investigate.

This was all too illogical, so strange that one couldn't help but think about it carefully.

If the Qitian Ring had been so easily obtained by Fu Qi, according to his nature, he would have attacked and flaunted it to the extreme, even suppressing Ye Kong under Mount Baolai.

Yet his first reaction was to run away? As if deliberately hiding something.

If the Qitian Ring were so easily obtained, it wouldn't have been missing for hundreds of years.

It was true that the Qitian Ring was brought by the Xie.

However, whether Fu Qi was hiding the real one, or taking a fake one with great delight, all of this would have to be explored by Ye Kong again to find out.

Ye Kong stepped inside again, the Xie's wailing had disappeared. The cave was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Kong entered step by step, the horde of ferocious beasts guarding the cave entrance were gone, and Ye Kong easily arrived at the innermost part, the place where the Xie was suppressed.

Unexpectedly, the rune array in front of him had been destroyed, yellow talismans scattered all over the ground, and the Xie's figure was nowhere to be found.

He had been deceived!

Ye Kong walked inside, reaching a dead end, touching the damp cave wall, vines hanging down the stone wall, the sound of gurgling water growing louder. But Ye Kong shattered the four walls, and inside were still walls, square and solid, nothing at all.

Everything just disappeared out of thin air.

However, Ye Kong found a corner of a talisman, knowing that this was a ghost wall set up by a barrier, the real cave was hidden within it.

Time was pressing, and Ye Kong didn't have time to search one by one. The most straightforward method was to break through everything.

The Xie had been nesting in this place for many years, and it was fortunate enough to live in a large communal dormitory under Ye Kong's sole effort.

Ye Kong clasped his hands together, spiritual power constantly gathering, but disappearing after touching the stone wall, however, although spiritual power could not deter it, the explosives that Ye Kong carried with him should be enough!

Ye Kong gathered the explosives in one place, the skills he learned from Lei Bao were still useful.

Only a few loud rumbles were heard, the cave in front of him spread out in a straight line, the stone walls on both sides collapsed, shattered, and annihilated into powder. The entire interior of Mount Baolai was completely opened up, revealing its original appearance, a square high platform with a silver giant coffin placed on it.

The Xie was coiled on the side, ready to rush over and tear Ye Kong apart.

Ye Kong sized it up for a moment, then, a dark mass of bat-headed rats flew over, their red eyes wide and bright, rushing over at a bloodthirsty speed. Even if Ye Kong tried his best to resist, he inevitably got his skin scratched, the stimulation of blood made all the creatures in the cave restless, dense black-haired spiders crawling all over the ground.

Ye Kong directly flew up, leaping onto the silver coffin, the blood on his arm dripped down at this moment, along the seams of the silver coffin, the entire silver coffin suddenly trembled violently.

Ye Kong reached out and grabbed the iron chain hanging the silver coffin, the silver coffin turned from silver to deep, then to red, and finally to blood red, the silver coffin lid suddenly opened, falling to the ground, the dense things on the ground immediately hid back into the cave.

The Xie, which had been lying in wait, pounced directly over.

Just then, the real Qitian Ring slowly rose from inside the silver coffin, golden all over, smooth and incomparable, falling into Ye Kong's hand, in fact, it looked no different.

This, this is the Qitian Ring?

Without the spiritual light that brightly illuminates the cave, it was no different from an ordinary gold ring in his hand.

Unexpectedly…

The fake was made so real.

The real one was so low-key that it was a bit fake.

Real and fake, indistinguishable to the naked eye.

The Qitian Ring steadily landed in Ye Kong's hand, the Xie guarding the Qitian Ring changed direction, directly landed at the silver coffin, and leaned down to Ye Kong.

However, Fu Qi did say one thing that was true, spiritual artifacts do recognize their master, as for why it chose Ye Kong, of course, on the one hand, Ye Kong was the chosen one, needing deep spiritual power to nourish it, and the spiritual artifact should indeed belong to Ye Kong.

On the other hand, Ye Kong secretly put the small tools he used into the brocade pouch, pretending that nothing had happened.

Facts proved that sometimes brute force alone cannot solve the problem, one should also use their brain.

Ye Kong had just walked out with the Qitian Ring when Fu Qi, holding the fake Qitian Ring, stood in front of him.

Well, he couldn't find him for a long time, but now he came to his door.

Fu Qi stared at the Qitian Ring in Ye Kong's hand, "Ye Kong, we said before, I will help you in, the Xie belongs to you, the spiritual artifact belongs to me."

"Oh, but you broke the agreement first, the Xie and the Qitian Ring both belong to me!"

Ye Kong turned his head away, not looking at Fu Qi.

"Ye Kong, without my help, you won't be able to get out!"

Fu Qi shouted from behind.

"Oh."

Ye Kong raised the Qitian Ring, wanting to test its power.

As the Qitian Ring appeared, the whole world darkened for a moment, a strong wind roared, blowing Mount Baolai to Zhufeng Island, tightly intertwined.

Everyone sensed all of this.

"Check quickly, something is about to come out!"
