Back then, in the battle at Suiyang, in order to deal with Emei, he and the company people made a ten-year pact for sword casting, and the other side's asking price was to find a non-physical Demon Statue of a crone sitting on a Black Crystal Lotus Platform.
But at that time, Chen Xuantian searched Suiyang top to bottom, and only found the altar shrine; he never found the non-physical entity enshrined on that shrine.
Later, after a round of calculations, he tracked down that this statue had apparently been handed over by Zhang Xun, as payment for forming an Array, to the Divine Sect's Eastern Law Enforcement Venerable, the Three Immortals of the East Sea, and Wuzhong Laojun, who then carried it off overseas to Great Wilderness Mountain.
But that non-physical entity seems to have been retrieved.
"Seems" because, although to Chen Xuantian's naked eyes the Lotus Platform altar was still utterly empty.
