Chapter 2354: Secrets Behind the Wall
Upon hearing this.
Shi Xuan and Liu Ye exchanged glances, and then Liu Ye spoke:
"This time, the two of us were able to complete our mission smoothly, thanks to Daoist Zhou’s help."
"Now that we have the Black Demon Pill in hand, why don’t we just divide the remaining treasures evenly?"
"Earlier, we both took the Black Demon Pill first, so next, let Daoist Zhou choose one item first."
"What does Daoist Shi think?"
Shi Xuan laughed and said:
"I think the same."
In fact, the treasures that were brought out just now are roughly of equal value, and all three of them understood this well.
Liu Ye and Shi Xuan went along with it and did Zhou Yu a favor.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was not polite.
"Then I thank both Daoists."
Zhou Yu immediately picked up the Copper Pot.

"I’ll choose this."
Seeing Zhou Yu’s choice, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan were both taken aback.
Although these items appear to have similar value.
There is a common understanding that among items of the same grade, treasures like towers, tripods, mirrors, and fans are generally the most valuable and have endless uses.
And among the treasures from the Three-legged Bronze Tripod, there was a Small Square Tower.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu didn’t even glance at the tower.
Though they didn’t understand why, neither of them said much.
Afterward, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan secretly communicated through Divine Thought, unclear about what they discussed.
After finishing their exchange, Liu Ye chose the Small Square Tower, while Shi Xuan chose a Magic Disc.
In the second round, Zhou Yu picked a stalk of Demon Heart Grass.
Liu Ye and Shi Xuan each picked another piece of Spiritual Medicine.
With this, the treasures from the Three-legged Bronze Tripod were completely divided.
At this moment, Shi Xuan suddenly stepped forward to the Three-legged Bronze Tripod and said:
"I really like this Three-legged Bronze Tripod."
"I’ll take it."
If the two of you find it inappropriate, I can provide some compensation."
As Shi Xuan spoke, he had already placed the Three-legged Bronze Tripod into his Storage Ring.
Not giving Zhou Yu and Liu Ye any chance for negotiation.
Clearly, with the treasures already divided, Shi Xuan seizing the Three-legged Bronze Tripod first left Zhou Yu and Liu Ye with two choices: agree or fall out.
And since Shi Xuan took this action, he must’ve been prepared to fall out.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly at the sight.
"Since Daoist Shi likes it, take it then."
"No need for compensation."
Liu Ye initially had a gloomy expression; she also wanted the tripod but didn’t expect to miss out by being too slow.
Now, with Zhou Yu not opposing it, she would certainly have to confront Shi Xuan if she did.
And the outcome of that confrontation would be uncertain.
Liu Ye struggled internally for a moment, then said:
"I originally liked this tripod too, but since Daoist Shi also likes it, I shall yield."
Shi Xuan seemed to have predicted their reactions long ago and laughed heartily.
"Thank you both."
At this moment.
Shi Xuan suddenly noticed Zhou Yu’s gaze fixed behind the Three-legged Bronze Tripod at the wall.
Shi Xuan curiously asked:
"Daoist Zhou, what’s with this wall?"
There was a glint in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
"This wall is intriguing!"
Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, both Shi Xuan and Liu Ye were startled.
They had tested this wall when they first entered.
It contained a formidable array capable of consuming a person’s Divine Sense.
Both Shi Xuan and Liu Ye suffered significant losses.
Thus, afterward, neither paid any attention to this wall.
Yet now, Zhou Yu was fixated on it.
It puzzled them greatly.
Yet, just as they were about to inquire.
Suddenly, a surge of Thunder Light erupted from Zhou Yu’s body.
This surge of Thunder Light swept towards the wall.
In the next moment, the wall erupted with Thunder Light as well.
The two forces of Thunder merged, and Zhou Yu’s figure instantly vanished.
In the next moment, Zhou Yu appeared in a strange space.
He surveyed the surroundings.
Everything was shrouded in a gray haze.
Except, behind him, a wall appeared.
This wall was almost identical to the one outside.
However, upon closer inspection, some differences could be noted.
At least, the runes and characters on this wall were distinct.
Then Zhou Yu began examining every inch of this space carefully.
After investigating, Zhou Yu was certain that this space was deliberately created by someone.
Moreover, a Divine Sense consuming array was set up to deter outsiders.
Zhou Yu initially was indeed deterred.
But later...
Zhou Yu suddenly grinned.
He then waved his hand, and a Purple Tiger appeared before him.
Upon appearing, the Purple Tiger grinned at Zhou Yu and spat out a Pill Medicine.
That pill was the Black Demon Pill.
Previously, when the Three-legged Bronze Tripod mysteriously rose, Zhou Yu immediately used Cosmic Divine Mountain to suppress it.
At that moment, Zhou Yu sent the Purple Tiger into the Three-legged Bronze Tripod.
In reality, this was a very daring move.
Ordinarily, it would be challenging for anyone to accomplish.
After all, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan weren’t foolish; their cultivation wasn’t weak either.
They kept a watchful eye, ordinary means couldn’t possibly deceive them.
But coincidentally, Zhou Yu had the Purple Tiger with him.
The Purple Tiger excelled in movement technique, and after two successive slumbers and advancements, its movement technique had become unpredictable, even Zhou Yu could barely keep up.
Therefore, Zhou Yu communicated with the Purple Tiger to hide in the Three-legged Bronze Tripod and secretly leave behind the Black Demon Pill.
Up until now, Zhou Yu had no idea what the Black Demon Pill’s purpose was.
But Elder Cai and Duan Tian, both Integration Realm Level experts, schemed for a thousand years with great effort to obtain it; this thing couldn’t possibly be worthless.
Given the chance to acquire it, Zhou Yu naturally wouldn’t let it slip away.
He carefully put away the Black Demon Pill, then sent the Purple Tiger back to the Four Directions Realm.
Having done all this, he finally turned his attention to the wall behind him.
Logically speaking, expending such effort to create this space, it must have a purpose.
Yet, Zhou Yu had inspected the entire space, finding nothing.
Thus, only the wall remained.
The wall must hold some secrets...
