Sima Changqin showed a hint of surprise upon seeing this.

His Heavenly Wind Finger was his proud skill, imbued with the True Meaning of Dao, and yet it failed to kill a Returning to Void cultivator.

Just as he prepared to unleash a more powerful killing move to slay Wulu, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head towards Yan Jue.

There at Yan Jue's position, an unexpected change occurred. Innumerable blue light clusters emerged from the void, converging into a blue vortex that swiftly entered his body.

Accompanied by a dull sound of exhaling, Yan Jue's eyes abruptly opened, shooting out two sharp beams of light. He propped himself up with his arms and stood up from the ground.

"Yan Jue?" Sima Changqin called out tentatively.

"Is it you? It's unexpected that you would arrive here, lucky indeed." Yan Jue moved his hands and feet, as if familiarizing himself with the body, and looked at Sima Changqin with a low tone.

"You are the Inspector!" Sima Changqin was slightly startled, then spoke with a confident tone.

"Good eyesight, but unfortunately your skills fall short, no match for those two outside." The Inspector shook his head slightly, seemingly disdainful of Sima Changqin's strength.

"You just blew yourself up and died, why are you possessing Yan Jue's body?" Sima Changqin frowned and asked, filled with confusion.

"You are not the master of the Three Realms Immortal Boat, so I don't need to explain much to you."

The Inspector glanced at the two empty shelves, and said indifferently, "This is also not a place you should be, withdraw. I will overlook the treasures you've taken as your fate."

Sima Changqin heard this and sneered, "Heh, you can't beat Su Wu, and now you want to vent your anger on me? You just possessed Yan Jue's body, even if you can fully unleash Yan Jue's power, you are merely at the Returning to Void peak, and you wish to meddle with me?"

The Inspector glanced at Sima Changqin through his eyes and said faintly, "I will not repeat my words a second time."

Sima Changqin's blue long sword in his right hand glowed brightly, instantly slashing out countless sword lights filled with cold air, overwhelming towards the Inspector.

These sword lights were like a winter blizzard, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, pressing straight towards the Inspector.

The Inspector didn't even look at the oncoming sword lights. With a mere lift of his hand, a large area of silver light emerged on the secret chamber walls.

The light rapidly converged into a silver formation, appearing out of nowhere, blocking all the sword lights.

At the same time, the formation's light enveloped Sima Changqin, seemingly intending to trap him.

"Stubborn." The Inspector said faintly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Before Sima Changqin could make another move, the Inspector had already wielded a divine skill with a wave of his hand.

Amidst the flickering silver light, Sima Changqin's vision was filled with a strong light. When the light faded, he found himself in a vast range of towering mountains.

As he looked around, mountain ranges stretched endlessly, enshrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a splash-ink landscape painting.

And above him, a giant silver-white ship sped by, unmistakably the Three Realms Flying Boat.

"Damn it!" Sima Changqin cursed inwardly.

He hadn't anticipated that the Inspector, even after changing bodies, could still activate such a powerful formation.

With his mind racing, he quickly formed a spell and summoned the silver-white flying car, chasing after the Three Realms Flying Boat.

Although he had gained considerably from the treasury, Sima Changqin's losses were equally severe.

His minions, the Black Demons, were all lost, and his Innate Spiritual Treasure was also taken. How could he be reconciled with all this?

The speed of the Three Realms Immortal Boat far exceeded the silver flying car, and even though Sima Changqin pursued relentlessly, the giant ship quickly vanished from his sight.

Sima Changqin did not stop his chase, glaring hatefully in the direction where the Three Realms Immortal Boat had disappeared, contemplating his next strategy.

At that moment, a white light suddenly shone from his body.

Sima Changqin took out a Jade Talisman from his bosom, the talisman exuding cold energy, constantly flashing with spirit light as if it had been triggered by something.

"Ancestor Bing Lan!" Sima Changqin showed a look of delight, eagerly injecting mana into the Jade Talisman.

The spirit light on the Jade Talisman grew several times brighter, flickering incessantly, as if summoning something.

Sima Changqin ceased to move, hovering in the air.

A moment later, the sky suddenly darkened, and snowflakes as large as goose feathers fluttered down, quickly covering everything around in frost white.

The fierce wind swept through the forest, carrying cold air. The snowstorm was so overwhelming that it blinded people.

Standing in mid-air, Sima Changqin's figure trembled slightly, seemingly invaded by the endless cold.

The endless frost spread wantonly across the land, wherever it reached, whether flowers, grass, or wild beasts, were instantly frozen, turning into lifelike ice sculptures standing on the earth.

At this moment, between heaven and earth, it seemed nothing but ice and snow existed, the sky and ground blended into a seamless white, with no distinction between you and me.

The myriad snowflakes, like curtains, shrouded all living things behind, revealing nothing.

And amidst the wind and snow, a pale blue figure slowly stepped forward.

He walked barefoot, his ice-crystal-like eyes full of gentle intent, and with long, frost-white hair hung loosely, his azure robe slightly thin, fluttering in the wind, yet exuding an Immortal-like transcendental aura.

Sima Changqin didn't need to extend his Divine Sense to know who had arrived.

He immediately turned around and cupped his fists, bowing respectfully: "Welcome, Ancestor."

His tone was full of awe and humility.

Snow stretched on for thirty thousand miles, ice sealing nineteen states.

This was not due to a change in the world, but the power inadvertently released by a Mahayana cultivator.

In the Chuyun Realm, only one person could create such a spectacle—Great Mahayana Ancestor Bing Lan.

"Chang Qin, I have told you before, there's no need for such formalities," Ancestor Bing Lan said blandly.

Although his voice was gentle, it carried an undeniable authority.

"With the Ancestor personally visiting, Chang Qin dares not be disrespectful," Sima Changqin replied respectfully, before finally raising his head.

Standing before him was a man even younger and more handsome than himself.

"Ancestor, weren't you in seclusion cultivating in the Heavenly Saint Tower? How come you've suddenly arrived here?" Sima Changqin asked respectfully, with a hint of confusion.

Ancestor Bing Lan gave a faint smile and said: "I have been out of seclusion for some time. Recently, I have been busy handling Three Realms Sect matters in Wuliang City. Upon receiving your message stating you discovered traces of the Three Realms Immortal Boat, I came immediately. I didn't find any trace in the Fire Rock Desert previously, so I followed your aura here. Where is the Three Realms Immortal Boat now? How did you end up in this isolated place?"

As he spoke, his gaze was sharp, scanning the surroundings as if seeking clues.

Sima Changqin looked ashamed, lowering his head as he said: "Disciple is incompetent, disappointing the Ancestor. I had already penetrated the core area of the Three Realms Immortal Boat, and was about to pass the test to take control of it. However, I unexpectedly encountered a Body Cultivation with an Undying Body level, whose strength was overwhelming, and I was defeated. Later, I met Su Wu of the Three Realms Sect, who attempted to seize the Immortal Boat, and I was defeated again. In the end, I ran into the Immortal Boat's Artifact Spirit Inspector and was expelled."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Bing Lan sighed lightly and consoled: "You need not blame yourself excessively. Body Cultivation is proficient in physical combat, so being defeated by one is understandable. As for that Su Wu, being a disciple of the former Sect Hierarch of the Three Realms Sect, naturally he has some means. Being able to retreat unscathed is already an achievement."

Upon hearing this, Sima Changqin felt a bit more at ease, and his expression improved.

Ancestor Bing Lan asked no more, and instead inquired: "Do you know where the Three Realms Immortal Boat has headed now?"

Sima Changqin raised his head to look into the distance and said: "It seems to be heading towards White Emperor City."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Bing Lan's face darkened, and he said: "White Emperor City... not good, we must hurry there quickly!"

As his words fell, he prepared to set off.

Seeing this, Sima Changqin urgently asked: "Ancestor, is there something amiss with the Three Realms Immortal Boat going to White Emperor City?"

Ancestor Bing Lan said solemnly: "No time to explain, we must reach White Emperor City before them. There's no time to lose, follow me!"

With that, he waved his sleeve, and a gentle force enveloped Sima Changqin, and the two of them disappeared in a flash.

When they reappeared, they were already thousands of miles away.

Ancestor Bing Lan did not pause, continuing to chant spells, his figure flashing again, covering another thousand miles.

His heart was anxious, only wanting to reach White Emperor City quickly to prevent the potential disaster brought by the Three Realms Immortal Boat.

...

Elsewhere, with Sima Changqin's departure, the hidden chamber returned to silence.

The Artifact Spirit Inspector did not dispel the silver formation he had summoned, but instead, his sharp gaze was cast towards another corner of the chamber.

"Stop hiding and reveal yourself," he said calmly, his voice carrying a subtle, undeniable authority.

After two breaths, the chamber remained silent as if empty.

"Are you planning to follow in Sima Changqin's footsteps?" The Artifact Spirit Inspector's tone carried a hint of displeasure.

As his words just fell, Wulu reluctantly released the invisibility state, revealing himself.

He cupped his hands towards the Artifact Spirit Inspector, his expression showing both respect and fear.

He had just attempted to use the Invisibility Technique to quietly escape the chamber. However, the Artifact Spirit Inspector's gaze remained sharp, firmly locked onto him, leaving him with no choice but to abandon his hopeful thoughts.

"Is the Ten Thousand Poison Three Treasures of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons currently in your hands?" The Artifact Spirit Inspector asked directly, paying no mind to Wulu's attitude.

Although it was a question, his tone conveyed an undeniable certainty.

"Is this what Senior is referring to?" Wulu asked carefully as he took out the purple Jade Box he had just taken.

The Artifact Spirit Inspector touched a spot in the air, and the Jade Box opened automatically, revealing a dark purple Dragon Pattern Small Tripod and a small purple banner inside.

"So this is it..." Wulu's face showed delight.

He originally only wanted to follow Sima Changqin invisibly, not intending to expose himself. However, upon sensing a resonance with a treasure inside the Jade Box connected to the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger, his greed led him to rashly take action and obtain the Jade Box.

However, the Jade Box was covered with a Forbidden technique, and his previous attempts to unlock it had failed.

"If Senior intends to have it, this junior will readily offer it with both hands," Wulu quickly said as thoughts raced through his mind. He also took out the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger and placed it inside the Jade Box.
