This discovery delighted him even more. If he could unearth the Yang Family's secrets and successfully bring them back to the sect, it would absolutely count as a tremendous merit!
The reason the sect cared so much about the remnants was because the Method of Breakthrough and Spirit Preservation in their hands was incomplete.
Years ago, when they had wiped out the Mingxu Sect, the sect had obtained the Spirit Preservation Secret Technique from True Spirit.
However, after subsequent cultivation and research, they quickly discovered that this secret technique seemed to be missing something.
This secret technique had to be cultivated starting from the Early-Spiritual Connection Realm.
And this missing piece had directly caused a technique that had originally only taken effect after a failed breakthrough into the True Intent Realm to instead forcibly destroy the physical body whenever any breakthrough failed.
One had to know that breakthroughs—especially minor breakthroughs of one or two stages—even if they failed, the backlash would not be too severe. A few years of recuperation would be enough for a full recovery.
Yet under the effects of this secret technique, one would lose one's entire body completely, just like the old man in the jade pendant now.
Over the years, this sect had not heard rumors of Mingxu Sect disciples surviving for the first time.

Thus, after receiving news of the Yang Family, and due to the great distance, the sect had merely sent the old man in the jade pendant first to investigate
