Chapter 81

Yang Qifeng hurried along, briefly leaving Daze Mountain.

He found a secluded place, settled the demon soldiers, and then re-entered Daze Mountain himself.

He was meeting the Daze Mountain deity at the agreed location.

Although the Daze Mountain deity had been stripped of his divine status, he still had a deep connection with Daze Mountain and could not leave it.

Daze Mountain was his appointed territory; leaving it would cause his power to rapidly decline. Without his divine status, it would be extremely difficult for him to regain his strength.

Without the support of his divine status, he would be like a rootless water plant, unable to even maintain his current early-stage elemental spirit power.

The sky was a light blue, like a clean piece of silk, with a golden edge, and the warm sun added a touch of color to the clear sky.

A gentle breeze blew, and the warm sunlight covered the earth.

A long rainbow streaked across the sky, like a meteor, moving quickly.

A mountain peak that pierced the sky stood ahead, with steep cliffs on all sides, topped by scenic clouds and connected to the earth below. It stood majestically, like a cloud terrace, with a dangerous path leading down to the ravine. The peak was formed by several massive rocks, naturally and skillfully joined, with a sheer cliff on the south side, straight and steep, overlooking a deep chasm.

Ancient pines and steep rocks created a familiar scene; this was the first time Yang Qifeng had come to Daze Mountain.

This was also the place where the Daze Mountain deity was suppressed, the agreed location for the two of them.

Yang Qifeng sat cross-legged on a rock, took out his spatial equipment, and began to examine it carefully.

The previous robbery had yielded eight pieces of spatial equipment for Yang Qifeng, and he examined each one.

Only one piece of spatial equipment was intact, the one that glowed with divine light, belonging to the Daze Mountain deity. The other pieces of spatial equipment all had signs of damage, varying in degree.

Carefully examining the contents, this piece of spatial equipment contained very few items, not even a single magical artifact. Most of the items were food, clearly belonging to a gluttonous demon. He quickly put them away and moved on to the next.

Soon, Yang Qifeng had inspected all seven pieces of spatial equipment.

There were not many good items inside; only five magical artifacts, all of which were weapons, with no defensive magical artifacts.

Magical artifacts used for attack were the most common and of the lowest value, while special-purpose magical artifacts, such as those used for array formation, calculation, and alchemy, were rare and the most valuable. Defensive magical artifacts came second.

Materials of equal value could be used to create offensive magical artifacts, but creating defensive magical artifacts required much more effort. Generally, a defensive magical artifact was three times as valuable as an offensive one of the same level.

The five magical artifacts included four low-grade and one mid-grade magical artifact.

The value was so low that it made Yang Qifeng frown. Previously, when he killed the venomous snake commander in the 29th mountain, he had obtained a mid-grade magical artifact, and the other commanders had at least one low-grade magical artifact.

However, the owners of this spatial equipment were demon generals, who were much stronger than the commanders.

But their possessions were not much better than those of the commanders.

This made Yang Qifeng puzzled, but he soon understood.

Because of the thunderstorm, the demon generals would not sit idly by when faced with lightning. They would fight back, and the magical artifacts in their hands were their means of resistance.

Therefore, the truly good items, whether offensive or defensive magical artifacts, were mostly destroyed by the lightning. The remaining items, along with the damaged spatial equipment, were swept into the spatial turbulence, resulting in his meager harvest.

This made Yang Qifeng's gaze involuntarily turn to the Daze Mountain deity's spatial equipment.

The other pieces of spatial equipment, with the marks left by their owners, had completely dissipated upon their deaths, allowing Yang Qifeng to easily examine them. However, the Daze Mountain deity's spatial equipment was different.

Divine light flowed over it, blocking his divine sense.

Yang Qifeng gently pinched the spatial equipment with one hand, continuously bombarding it with his magical power to wear down the mark left by the Daze Mountain deity.

Without the support of the Daze Mountain deity, the mark was like a rootless water plant, losing strength and dissipating without replenishment.

Soon, Yang Qifeng gained the upper hand, continuously wearing down the mark until the last trace of it dissipated in his divine sense.

The last mark of the Daze Mountain deity was completely erased.

In the entire world, there was no longer any trace of the Daze Mountain deity.

The spatial equipment was intact, and the space inside was not like the others, which had several cracks and were filled with chaotic spatial energy.

The Daze Mountain deity's spatial equipment contained many good items. At a glance, Yang Qifeng saw several magical artifacts.

Without needing to examine them closely, the aura they emitted told him that they were all mid-grade magical artifacts.

There were also two damaged magical artifacts.

Three intact mid-grade magical artifacts included a long sword, a set of magical needles (thirty-six in total), and a large banner.

The banner was a vivid red, identical to the one used in the demon-suppressing array, indicating that it was a backup to prevent damage.

The three mid-grade magical artifacts were not surprising; what Yang Qifeng truly cared about were the two damaged magical artifacts.

One was a weapon, and the other was a small banner.

The small banner was about the size of a palm, triangular, and brownish-yellow.

At first glance, Yang Qifeng was very fond of it, but his eyes also showed a hint of regret.

This small banner was a defensive magical artifact.

Its quality was also high; it was a high-grade magical artifact.

Unfortunately, like the weapon, it was damaged.

This made him regret the loss of such a good protective treasure.

His gaze moved from the small banner, and he suddenly saw something familiar.

It was familiar not because Yang Qifeng had seen it before, but because the aura it emitted was very familiar.

It was similar to the aura emitted by the mountain deity's seal, both grand and righteous. This was also a seal.

However, it did not belong to the mountain deity but to the land deity.

The heavenly court's mark on it was intact, and a divine light was contained within, very dense and continuously spreading in the space.

The dense divine light occupied a corner of the space, repelling all other items.

Seeing it, Yang Qifeng felt joy.

The future, which had been fraught with danger, was completely changed because of it.
