0Hearing the Xiao Hui's words, everyone immediately turned to look, but after looking for a long time, they still could not see any difference in the stone tablet in front of them.

Murong Lier took a step forward, and said slowly: "I have read about such stones in some books, so it should be the most ordinary white jade!"    

    

The Xiao Hui did not answer, but its gaze landed on Han Yan. Seeing that Han Yan did not know why, it chuckled: "Not bad, looking at the surface of the tablet, it is indeed refined using the most ordinary white jade. However, this is just a false front. Just think about it, even if a normal white jade could withstand such a huge amount of energy, would it be able to condense killing intent into a handwriting? "    

    

Murong Lier nodded, and said: "That's right! The material quality of white jade and Flaming Cloud Stone were similar, so it was impossible for them to withstand such a large amount of energy. "What is this stone?" A light flashed in her eyes, she clearly thought that the Xiao Hui's words made a lot of sense, and this rock in front of her was definitely a rare treasure. However, she was unable to guess what treasure it was.    

    

Han Yan frowned, his figure flashed, and appeared behind the stone tablet. There were eight ancient characters carved in front of the stone monument, but the back was as smooth as a mirror. The sunlight shined on it, emitting a faint radiance. Han Yan stretched out his right hand, touched the stone tablet for a moment, and finally nodded his head, and said: "Someone has set up an array formation on the stone tablet, to hide its original appearance."    

    

The Xiao Hui laughed and said: "Boss, you also saw it too?"    

    

Han Yan nodded his head, he bellowed and suddenly extended his right hand out, pressing on the stone tablet. A powerful force was released from his hand and landed on the stone tablet. In the blink of an eye, it surrounded the stone tablet. Han Yan's brows tightened. With his left hand, he formed a seal and the stone tablet instantly emitted a faint white light. With a flash of the white light, a complex array formation appeared on it. Han Yan's consciousness moved, and entered the array. His right hand constantly formed seals. Every time one was formed, a formation would collapse.    

    

After a few breaths, all the formations were completely destroyed. The stele like eyes suddenly changed from white to black. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the black stone tablet emitted a dark glow. As long as one was not a fool, one could tell from the material on the stone tablet in front of them that it was definitely a top grade ore.    

    

Although there were many ores on the continent, there were only a few that acted as Refining materials. And among the materials, the only one that acted as a Refining materials was a black ore. black iron were extremely rare, and their hardness was even greater than metal and stone. It was said that the reason the Ancient Cultivator's techniques had such a strong attack power was because he had used the black iron to refine them.    

    

But now, black iron s were becoming fewer and fewer in number, and many cultivators could not even see a single one in their entire lives.    

    

When everyone saw that the stone tablet had turned black, they immediately thought of the black iron, and immediately took a deep breath, their eyes filled with ecstasy. Even if he knew that this black iron did not belong to him, to be able to see it once in his life was something to be proud of. Murong Lier covered her lips and said excitedly: "This, this is actually the legendary black iron …"    

    

The Xiao Hui raised its furry claws and shook them slightly. Then, it said something that made everyone unable to think of first, "This is not a black iron."    

    

Everyone was startled and looked towards the Xiao Hui at the same time.    

    

Zhou Fei could not help but ask: "Senior, if this is not a black iron, then what is?"    

    

"This is …" The Xiao Hui purposely dragged out its voice to make everyone anxious. Only when everyone wanted to slap it to death did the Xiao Hui say: "This is the legendary Nine Heavens black iron …"    

    

Everyone was stunned once again. They had only heard of black iron, and never heard of Nine Heavens black iron. For a moment, he was confused, what was the difference between these Nine Heavens black iron and ordinary black iron?    

    

Seeing that everyone was looking at it without blinking, waiting for its answer, the Xiao Hui laughed: "Don't look at me, actually I only know one thing, the Nine Heavens black iron is located in the Nine Heavens. As for normal black iron, we can find them in the human world. "    

    

Hearing that, everyone became gloomy, Murong Lier was disappointed: "What kind of explanation is this, it doesn't mean that they have said anything."    

    

The Xiao Hui laughed and said to Han Yan: "Boss, take it! Such a big piece of black iron, even ancient times would find it hard to obtain. For a treasure like the Nine Heavens black iron to appear at the foot of the mountain, I wonder what other treasures there are within the mountain! " Its eyes were filled with anticipation, and when the rest of them heard this, they did the same. It was obvious that they also wanted to know how many more treasures were in the mountain range that the Ancient Cultivator was residing in.    

    

Han Yan looked at the monument and bellowed, "Return." The colossal force suddenly retracted and a faint light appeared on the stone monument. It quickly shrank to the size of a palm in the blink of an eye. On the surface, this black stone looked no different from an ordinary black iron, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that there were actually water like patterns on it, and every single pattern contained a strange energy.    

    

The Xiao Hui glanced at the stone in Han Yan's hand and said: "Boss, you saw it too! This was the difference between a black iron and a Nine Heavens black iron. Don't look at this small water ripple path, every single one of them contained a weak power of the heavens and earth. The reason the cultivators of the ancient times have reached the Deity Stage is because they have comprehended this kind of energy. "    

    

Suddenly, Han Yan felt that the Xiao Hui knew a lot of things.    

    

The Xiao Hui laughed and sent a sound transmission at the same time: "Boss, don't ask me now. When I have time in the future, I will slowly tell you." With that, he moved in a flash towards the top of the stairs.    

    

Seeing that the Xiao Hui was not willing to answer, Han Yan shook his head and threw the Nine Heavens black iron into it, then walked forward.    

    

As he climbed the stairs, Han Yan's gaze was always on the array formations around him. These array formations arrangements were extremely special, they contained a large number of offensive techniques, and whenever anyone touched them, they would immediately attack. After Han Yan saw through the formation, he did not break it and instead, quickly walked towards the top of the mountain. The further he went, the more powerful the array was. When he was halfway up the mountain, although the array formation could still be seen through, the techniques laid inside made Han Yan gasp deeply. These techniques were unimaginably powerful. Even with his current cultivation, he was not completely confident that he could block them.    

    

However, throughout the journey, Han Yan had learned a lot of things, especially the deductions of formations. When mentioned to an extremely high realm, other than a few extremely rare formations or some large scale formations, normal small-scale formations, as long as Han Yan released his consciousness onto them, he would be able to see through his method of setting them up. These things might seem useless now, but Han Yan believed that there would be a day when it would be effective.    

    

Halfway up the mountain, over a thousand cultivators were gathered here, trying to break through a formation.    

    

Seeing Han Yan coming over, everyone's face became gloomy, and they immediately dodged, opening up a path for Han Yan. The stairs were about ten meters wide, and other than the ten meters in the middle, there were over a thousand cultivators standing densely on both sides of the stairs, and all of them were completely silent, not even daring to make a sound, afraid that the Xiao Hui on Han Yan's shoulder would be displeased and kill them. After all, most of the cultivators had seen the Xiao Hui killing the Golden Crow Pavilion's cultivators, and even if they hadn't seen it, they had heard it from other cultivators.    

    

The Xiao Hui seemed to like this feeling very much, laughing proudly, from time to time it would point at the cultivators beside, and when it saw the cultivator that was being pointed at, its entire body trembled, and its heart was extremely happy. Earlier, when a cultivator was pointed at by the Xiao Hui, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.    

    

Han Yan frowned, and sent a sound transmission to him: "Do you like to bully low-level cultivator?"    

    

"Boss, Immortal cultivation is too lonely. Don't you think we should find some fun?" The Xiao Hui casually pointed to the few cultivators at the side, and said to Han Yan: "Amongst these cultivators, there aren't many good things, the people I am referring to, they have some killing intent, and obviously they also killed a lot of people. "Boss, you should understand that cultivation is a cruel world, so why do cultivators cultivate like crazy? Isn't it because they want to become stronger? Then why do they want to become stronger? Isn't it because they want to bully other cultivators? Haha!"    

    

Han Yan only agreed with half of this concept, while the other half did not. He trained madly, indeed to strengthen himself, but not to bully other cultivators like the Xiao Hui said, but to better protect himself. Don't look at how Han Yan killed people like that, he was a very principled person, the person who was going to deal with him, would definitely not be let off, and Han Yan would not easily do anything to those cultivators that did not threaten him.    

    

Seeing the Xiao Hui playing around, Han Yan did not interrupt her and said: "Be careful, this kind of place is very strange. It's best not to act recklessly."    

    

The Xiao Hui smiled slightly, and said: "Boss, you don't have to worry, when I attack I know what I'm doing, I will definitely not fail."    

    

In a few moments, Han Yan was outside the array. Reaching forward with his right hand, a dual wield palm suddenly formed, and shot towards the array at lightning speed. With a "pa da" sound, the array formation was like a stone falling onto thin ice, it instantly collapsed, turning into points of white light and dissipating into the air. The moment it dissipated, Han Yan could see that waves of spirit energy were condensing at an astonishing speed on the steps of the formation. He knew that the formation had its own repairing abilities, so he did not point to it and continued to walk forward.    

    

Just as Han Yan left, the cultivators on both sides couldn't help but to take in a breath of cold air, especially Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage. All of them stared wide-eyed, and saw the complicated look in Han Yan's eyes. They were both at the same cultivation level of the golden core stage, so why was it that even with a spell, the opponent was able to forcefully destroy the array?    

    

After a short moment, the formation was rapidly completed. Just as it was about to completely cover the stairs, someone reacted and shouted, "Hurry and enter, the formation is about to be restored."    

    

Everyone's heart tightened as they quickly charged into the formation.    

    

However, the entrance was only this big. Thousands of cultivators swarmed in, causing chaos. There were even quite a few cultivators squeezed onto the arrays on both sides of the stairs, opening the arrays. Rays of sword rain came from the formation. They landed on the cultivators and killed them. In the blink of an eye, more than 100 of them died.    

    

The remaining cultivators quickly backed up, their faces filled with panic. They were afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would become a corpse.    

    

When everyone was ten zhang back and saw that the formation was about to be restored, they were unable to take a single step forward even after the sword rain. Their faces were full of regret. Why didn't he just charge in? However, when they saw the hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, they finally felt better. Although he did not enter the formation, he survived under the attacks of the sword rain.    

    

Even though hundreds of cultivators had died, and tens of cultivators had rushed in, all of them were in the golden core stage realm, although there were some in the Foundation Establishment stage, there were only a few, and as for the Strength Training stage cultivators, there were none. Even the few Strength Training stage cultivators at the front were killed by the sword rain's attacks. After entering the formation, they felt a sense of impending doom. They froze on the spot, as though they had lost their souls.    

    

The Xiao Hui suddenly turned its head, looked at the cultivators that followed from a hundred zhang away, and said: "Boss, should we kill them?"    

    

Han Yan shook his head, and said: "Forget it, it is already considered good fortune for them to be able to come in, why must they go all out to get it?" Just as he finished speaking, Han Yan seemed to have understood something, and his mouth revealed a light smile. At this moment, he suddenly felt that if he could figure out the problem that he'd comprehended earlier, then his cultivation would greatly increase.
