Shi Shuan flew in the direction that Fang Xuan had told him. It didn't take long for him to see an Array Formation that hadn't been activated yet, so he stopped his escape light and landed nearby. He was going to find a place to hide and wait until the Array Formation outside was activated. Only then would he go out with all the trial takers.
As Shi Xuan walked for a distance, looking left and right in search of his surroundings, a sword light suddenly flew out and slashed at him. At the same time, a man wearing a brown Daoist robe jumped out from a hidden spot on the mountain wall. He was controlling a flying sword with his right hand and holding a talisman with his left.
Shi Xuan had already discovered this man with his spiritual sense, but he didn't think that this man would dare to attack him, didn't he see that he flew over using an escape technique? Shi Xuan didn't hesitate, the cyan Samadhi Divine Wind Zhen Qi appeared, and with a point of his right hand, a Samadhi Divine Wind Zhen Qi flew over.
When the man saw the cyan colored True Qi attacking him, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Just as he was about to roll away, the cyan colored True Qi turned into a gust of wind filled with yellow sand, wrapping his whole body in it.
After the flying sword struck the Samadhi Divine Wind Zhen Qi on Shi Xuan's body, it didn't even cause a ripple, instead, the Samadhi Divine Wind Zhen Qi wrapped around it, and in a moment, it turned into a pile of rusty iron and fell to the ground.
When the yellow sand gust ended, only bones were left, even the storage bag had been blown to pieces, not to mention the things inside, only a pile of waste could be seen.
Shi Xuan was secretly surprised, if he wanted to rob others in the future, it would be better not to use area attacks. Those storage bags engraved with an object shrinking array could not be compared to real spatial storage bags, how could they withstand such a fierce attack? If he wanted to take the things inside the storage bag, it would be better to use sword techniques to kill them.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Samadhi Divine Wind transformed into a gale and cleared away all the bones and fragments on the ground. Only then did Shi Xuan slowly walk to the place where the brown-robed man had been hiding. It was a small cave in the crevice of the mountain wall, just big enough for a person to sit cross-legged.
Shi Xuan did not stand on ceremony and sat down cross-legged. It was at this moment that he finally understood why the brown-robed man dared to attack him. It turned out that he could only see a small distance away from the teleportation formation. As a Leaving Aperture realm cultivator's Spiritual Perception was limited, it was impossible for the brown-robed man to know that Shi Xuan had flown over using an escape art.
In the following seven days, Shi Xuan recuperated in this small cave. The sequela of Suiyu Tactics finally ended the first stage, and he could use 50% of his strength. Of course, he also faintly felt the rejection of the secret realm.
In the past few days, Shi Xuan's spirit sense had covered a radius of more than ten miles. He had seen fellow disciples killing each other for a spirit herb, and he had seen groups of people from the three sects hunting each other. He had also seen those cautious disciples who had helplessly found a place to hide after picking up a spirit herb. He had also seen people like the man in brown hiding near the Teleportation Formation, preparing to launch a sneak attack on a disciple who had just returned with the spirit herb. In short, this was a bloody trial ground.

In the Gale Valley.
Li Wannian of Yellow Maple Valley stroked his short beard and looked at the cultivators of the other two sects with a smile: "Everyone, I don't know who will win the bet this time. I think our Yellow Maple Valley will definitely pick the most spirit herbs and have the most remaining disciples."
"Li Huzi, don't be too proud. Aren't you just relying on your proud disciple Zhang Tai holding the high-grade magic tool Azure Light Sword inside? Which core disciple in our sect doesn't have a high-grade magic tool around the Second Heavenly Layer? "A young woman in a palace dress glared at Li Wannian.
Because the first two floors of Guangyang Immortal Mansion's Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had almost been plundered clean, and the three sects were also sects with thousands of years of inheritance. In addition, there were only more than ten high-level cultivators in the sects, so there was no shortage of high-grade magic tools below the Third Heavenly Layer.
Li Wannian continued to stroke his beard and looked at the young woman in the palace dress with a smile: "Sister Dong, I know that everyone's core disciples have high-grade magic tools, but I also gave my disciple a Rank 4 Talisman — Colossal Wood Art."
A white-haired old woman heavily hit her walking stick and snorted: "Isn't it just relying on your family's ability to draw talismans?" In this cultivation world, there was no lack of magic tools, but cultivators who could draw talismans were few and far between.
"Grandma Li, that's not right. Being able to draw talismans is also my ability. If you have the ability, how about your Houtu Sect also draw a few for your disciples?" Li Wannian paced left and right with his hands behind his back.
The white-haired old woman Li Yu snorted again: "That old guy's disciple isn't in there. He's not willing to give the talismans to unrelated people."
A middle-aged cultivator in a purple robe standing next to the young woman in the palace dress, Dong Yiyi, also smiled bitterly: "The two senior martial brothers in our Zixia Sect who can draw talismans are also not willing to give them to unrelated people. How could they be as protective of your disciple as you, Brother Li?"
Li Wannian was quite proud: "Who told him to be my disciple!"
The white-haired old woman Li Yu coughed twice: "Alright, Li Huzi, stop showing off. It's time to open the formation." Just as she finished speaking, Li Wannian, Dong Yiyi, the purple-robed middle-aged Daoist Priest Jiang Zonghan, the short and stout cultivator from the Houtu Sect Tan Shizhen, and the white-haired old man from Yellow Maple Valley, Wen Zhihong, walked to the side of the formation. Each of them took out a middle-grade spirit stone and placed it at the six corners of the formation, then activated the formation.
After the formation lit up, the misty White Light Entrance stabilized. Soon, it became a White Light Door.
The six people retreated a few steps and looked at the White Light Door with concern. This was related to the fate of three peak fourth-layer high-grade magic tools, so they couldn't be careless!
Not long after, a yellow-robed disciple walked out from the White Light Door. Li Wannian proudly looked to both sides, then continued to watch attentively.
One after another, disciples from the three sects came out. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, filling the air with yellow sand. Even the six Qi Drawing Realm cultivators, who were caught off guard, were blown back again and again. They had no choice but to use their respective purple, yellow, and brown True Qi to stabilize their footing and carefully guard their left and right.
After a while, the yellow sand and gust of wind stopped. The six people saw the surrounding disciples being blown dozens of meters away, lying on the ground and crying out in pain. Then they looked at each other, and Dong Yiyi doubtfully said: "When did the wind in Gale Valley become so strong?"
Li Wannian stroked his beard and frowned: "Perhaps it's because it's a rare occurrence in hundreds of years. If someone had done something, there would be one or two of us lying on the ground right now." Cultivators who could create this kind of yellow sand and gust of wind could easily kill one or two when they were caught off guard.
Li Wannian's words caused the other five Qi Drawing Realm cultivators to nod in unison. They never thought that a Qi Drawing Realm cultivator would come out from a secret realm that Qi Drawing Realm cultivators couldn't enter.
Afterwards, disciples from the three sects came out from the White Light Door, so the six people naturally turned their attention back. However, in the end, Li Wannian's expression became more and more unsightly. When no disciple came out from the White Light Door for a long time, he used his Yellow Maple True Qi to grab the last disciple who came out and sternly asked: "Where's Zhang Tai?! Did you see him? "
The disciple was so scared that his face turned pale and he repeatedly shook his head: "I didn't see him, I didn't see him. Not only Senior Martial Brother Zhang, but even Senior Martial Brother Ma and the others didn't see him!"
Li Wannian asked the other disciples one by one, and in the end, he confirmed that Zhang Tai brought Disciple Ma and the others to kill the White-headed Eagle. From then on, there was no more news.
"Haha, haha, that disciple of yours is just like you when you were young. He dared to kill the White-headed Eagle with a Rank Four Talisman? Is the White-headed Eagle that easy to kill? If it was so easy to kill, it would have been killed in the previous few trials! " The white-haired old woman, Li Yu, laughed loudly and harshly ridiculed Li Wannian, angering him so much that he jumped on the spot.
In his anger, Li Wannian didn't notice that there was a man and a woman among the Zixia Sect disciples who had buried their heads deep into the ground from the moment he asked about Zhang Tai. It was as if there was something extraordinary at their feet, and they were watching with rapt attention.
This man and woman were Gu Yun and Fang Xuan. Not only did their storage pouches contain a few stalks of other spiritual herbs, there was also the Seven-Colored Grass guarded by the White-headed Eagle, the knife wheel and fine needle magic tools of Disciple Ma and the others, and even two Rank Five Talismans, the White-headed Eagle's feathers, the eagle's skin, and other items. If they revealed any flaws and revealed these items, they would be secretly killed when they returned to the sect.

On the surface of the sea, the cool breeze that Shi Xuan had transformed into was quickly escaping.
Previously, when Shi Xuan had seen enough of the massacre at the entrance, he had used the Aura Concealment Incantation and followed behind the largest group of disciples, passing through the White Light Door. When the Aura Concealment Incantation lost its effect after exiting the White Light Door, he raised his hand and released a gust of Divine Samadhi Wind True Qi. It swirled up the yellow sand in the sky and directly blew across the entire area in front of the White Light Door. He then took the opportunity to transform into the wind and escape.
This was also because Shi Xuan had no intention of harming anyone. Otherwise, if he had increased the strength of the Divine Samadhi Wind True Qi, the six Qi Drawing Realm cultivators who were caught off guard would definitely have lost more than half of their lives.
After escaping from the Gale Valley, Shi Xuan's plan for himself was to first go to the Black Dragon Swamp to replenish the Miasma and Filthy Qi of the Enchanting Banner, so that the Enchanting and Filthy Qi Formation would not become a decoration. Then, he would go to Guanhai City and see if there was an opportunity to blend into the group of loose cultivators and go together to the Guangyang Immortal Mansion to search for treasures.
However, the latter point was currently quite difficult. It would be very difficult for a Qi Drawing Realm cultivator of unknown origin to blend into the group of loose cultivators. After all, there were very few high level loose cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World. There were only a dozen or so Qi Drawing Realm cultivators, and every single one of them had a name and was well known by everyone.
Therefore, Shi Xuan planned to pretend that he had just broken through to the Qi Drawing Realm from the Leaving Aperture Realm, then went into seclusion and only came out recently. The number of loose cultivators in the Leaving Aperture Realm was the highest. It was hard to guarantee that one or two of them would suddenly have a fortuitous encounter. As long as Shi Xuan made up a reliable background, it should not be a big problem. However, the point of having a reliable background made things very difficult for Shi Xuan. He could only slowly think about it after he arrived at the Black Dragon Swamp.
Therefore, Shi Xuan sped up and flew in the direction of the Black Dragon Swamp that Fang Xuan mentioned. Along the way, he saw a large number of loose cultivators sitting on ships and also heading towards the Black Dragon Swamp. An idea popped into his mind, and that was to restrain a Leaving Aperture Realm cultivator who did not have many friends and impersonate him to go to Guanhai City. At the worst, he could just give that Leaving Aperture Realm cultivator some benefits in the future.
After making up his mind, Shi Xuan only needed to wait for the Miasma and Filthy Qi to be completely collected before he could start on this matter. Therefore, he sped up again and flew towards the Black Dragon Swamp at a speed of five thousand li in a day. Although the Light Breeze Escape could allow one to travel three thousand li in a day, the Samadhi Divine Wind True Qi was wind-attributed true qi. Moreover, it was the top-grade of the high-grade true qi. With the addition of the Samadhi Divine Wind True Qi, he could travel five thousand li in a day, which was comparable to the speed of ordinary Divine Soul Realm cultivators.
