Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 130 - 120: Information on the Five Element Wanderer’s Relic (Part 2)
Sure, here is the translated text:

A middle-aged man wearing a black robe stepped out from the Light Sect, holding a Magical Artifact in his hand, cautiously looking around.
At the same time, the third name on the light curtain, code-named ’Purple’, instantly disappeared.
"It’s him!"
The gaze of the black-robed middle-aged man locked onto Zhang Yao, who was standing with his hands behind his back under the white wall dozens of feet away, his expression slightly changed.
"Code name Orange... From his performance breaking the array, this person’s strength is probably unfathomable!"
"I don’t know where the Xige Sect found such a monster!"
He was extremely apprehensive, quietly retreating to a corner, preparing to make plans after a few other companions arrived.
But as soon as he retreated to the corner, a voice entered his ears:
"You’re very smart..."
Zhang Yao slowly turned around, his expression calm, looking at the black-robed man in the corner:
"I thought you would try to ambush me."
"... Sir, you’re joking."
The black-robed man’s face twitched, forcing a smile:
"Could you spare me a lift? After all, we both hail from the Pingdu Sect, we’re somewhat like branches from the same tree..."
"Of course not."
Zhang Yao shook his head, his tone indifferent:
"You haven’t put aside your intent to kill me, yet you want me to spare you? I really don’t know where you get the face."
"Either you commit suicide now, or I’ll send you off, choose one."
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing Zhang Yao’s words, the black-robed man was furious, his expression showing a trace of ferocity:
"Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"
Before the words fell, it seemed a fine silver light flashed in the hall, difficult to catch by the eye, incredibly fast.
"Swish!"
Zhang Yao suddenly reached out, seemingly slow but actually swift, grasping into the air in front of him.
A slender silver Flying Needle was tightly held in his hand, struggling like a leaping fish, yet futile.
"You..."
The black-robed man instinctively stepped back, revealing a look of horror.
His Flying Needle ambush had always been invincible, having stealthily eliminated several peers.
If stopped by Magical Artifact or Magic, he wouldn’t be surprised, but being intercepted by the physical body was truly shocking!
"Are you a Body Cultivator?"
The black-robed man instinctively summoned a Protective Magical Artifact.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Zhang Yao didn’t respond, his sleeve billowing, the Celestial Thunder Spike and Purple Light Sword shot out, roaring and attacking.
In just a few breaths, the black-robed man’s corpse fell to the ground, a huge hole in his chest, his broken viscera and bones carbon black, his eyes wide open.
"Overestimating yourself."
Zhang Yao shook his head, reached out, and collected the Storage Bag and Magical Artifact.
He turned to glance, finding that the Dongge Sect disciple code-named ’Green’ had already passed the tenth level on the light curtain.
"Good."
Expectation appeared in Zhang Yao’s eyes.
"Hope this person can surprise me."
Each opening of the Celestial Capital Secret Collection does not necessarily have someone reaching the final stage.
Even if the strength is great, poor luck may halt at seven or eight levels and fail, not even getting a reward.
However, this Dongge Sect disciple code-named ’Green’ is displaying great momentum in breaking the array, with a considerable probability of completing the trial.
......
More than half an hour later.
"Huff, huff..."
Zhuge Xing breathed heavily, drenched in sweat, showing fatigue.
Before him, the hall was strewn with various incomplete corpses, without flesh or viscera, only metal and Jade Stone.
"These Daoist Soldiers are really troublesome."
He took a deep breath, showing a hint of a smile:
"But this twelfth level is finally cleared."
After adjusting his breath for a moment, he passed through the hall and went through the giant Light Sect, entering the inner hall.
"The Foundation Establishment Pill is gone!"
Zhuge Xing’s expression changed.
At first glance coming here, he found the Jade Pillar was empty, the Foundation Establishment Pill that should be there had vanished without a trace.
"This is bad..."
His face darkened, his mood particularly heavy.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was not only his biggest target, it might also be his only chance of survival.
As he saw it, the mysterious figure from Xige Sect, code-named ’Orange’, likely had far greater strength than him, with little chance of winning in direct confrontation.
If he could get the Foundation Establishment Pill, he could use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the opponent and fight for a chance at survival.
But now, the Foundation Establishment Pill has already been taken by the other party.
The remaining second grade Spiritual Objects and early stage Spiritual Artifacts, no matter which one he chose, it would be difficult to destroy instantly with his strength, and the opponent might not care, so they couldn’t be used as bargaining chips.
"Alas, the only plan now is to play it by ear."
"Hopefully, that secret can be of some use..."
Zhuge Xing sighed deeply in his heart, stepped forward to take the Jade Ruyi on the right side, and passed through the last Light Sect gate.
In the Inheritance Hall:
"Buzz!"
In the vast central hall, the air and light subtly fluctuated.
Zhang Yao’s gaze instantly locked onto the center of the hall, seeing a middle-aged Daoist in a blue Daoist robe walk out from the Light Sect gate.
"It’s him!"
Zhuge Xing just emerged and immediately sensed a sharp gaze, making his heart skip a beat.
His gaze quickly swept across the hall, discovering three somewhat familiar broken corpses, which were the other three array breakers from the Dongge Sect.
"As expected..."
"The other array breakers couldn’t reach the final level and were killed by him after prematurely emerging!"
Zhuge Xing’s heart sank, though he wasn’t particularly surprised.
The trials of the Celestial Capital Secret Collection are conducted independently, with no chance of mid-process coordination or agreements, making it impossible for the four to emerge together.
And singly confronting such a formidable enemy, even he lacked confidence, not to mention the other three.
"Buzz!"
At the instant of the confrontation, the white wall on one side of the hall rumbled and shook, revealing a quaint and weathered stone gate.
"The exit of the Secret Collection!"
Zhuge Xing’s expression immediately brightened, his gaze unconsciously shifting over.
Simultaneously, the magical power within his body circulated rapidly through his qi veins, always ready for desperate escape.
"Maybe first try to distract him, then find the right opportunity..."
Such thoughts churned in his mind.
But right at that moment, a purple Flying Sword suddenly swept across the air, gliding to intercept Zhuge Xing’s escape route at the stone gate.
"You..."
Zhuge Xing’s face slightly changed.
"You still aren’t decisive enough, you should’ve fled at the first moment."
Zhang Yao slowly spoke, his expression calm:
"Did you pick the Spiritual Artifact or the Spiritual Object?"
Zhuge Xing’s face twitched slightly, then he abruptly opened his mouth:
"I can give you my Storage Bag, and besides that, I’ll exchange extra secret intelligence about the Celestial Capital Secret Collection for my life, how does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao showed a faint smile:
"It seems you still don’t understand the situation."
"I want your life, and I also want your secret intelligence!"
As soon as the words fell, the Celestial Thunder Spike shot out, transforming into a stream of blue electricity, roaring furiously.
Zhang Yao’s figure swayed, his body glowing with brilliant golden light, rushing towards Zhuge Xing in the center of the hall like a cannonball.
"You forced me!"
Zhuge Xing’s eyes turned red, roaring angrily as he maneuvered the flying sword to charge.
"Boom!" "Bang!" "Thud!"...
A fierce battle suddenly broke out, with waves of energy roaring vigorously, ending abruptly after just a few moments.
"Cough, cough..."
Zhuge Xing collapsed to the ground, his muscles torn and bones broken, coughing blood, while his Flying Sword and Magical Artifact had been knocked away.
Zhang Yao seized his collar, lifting him up, his eyes stirring with invisible vortices, deploying the ’Soul Capturing and Thought Extraction Technique’.
"Speak."
Zhang Yao’s tone wavered:
"What secret intelligence do you know about the Celestial Capital Secret Collection?"
"Cough, cough..."
Zhuge Xing coughed a few times, his expression dazed and confused, instinctively replying:
"I inadvertently discovered a secret before setting out."
"Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Dongge Sect and Xige Sect have long suspected that a legacy artifact of the Five Elements Wanderer might be hidden within the Celestial Capital Secret Collection."
"A legacy artifact of the Five Elements Wanderer?"
Zhang Yao paused for a moment.
Isn’t this the Secret Collection left by the Pingdu Sect? How did it become related to the Five Elements Wanderer?
"Explain in detail!"
Zhang Yao urged, and Zhuge Xing responded in a dazed manner:
"Here’s how it is..."
