Shen Luo sighed and slowly closed his eyes to speed up the refinement of the treasures in his body.
He did not tell Yan Wushi or the young master about his guesses because they were all baseless conjectures. If he guessed wrong, not only would it be embarrassing, but the young master would also look down on him.
The Spirit Crab Flying Ship flew forward like a meteor and two hours passed quickly.
With Shen Luo's current understanding of the Innate Treasure Refining Technique, it didn't take him much effort to refine the Dark Yellow One Breath Stick that he had already mastered more than half of the restrictions. At this moment, he was refining the Thousand Bucket Golden Goblet when a deafening whistling sound suddenly came from the front.
He quickly opened his eyes and looked forward.
The boundless sea of sand in front of him had another sandstorm that covered the sky. It rolled forward like a tide and drowned the Spirit Crab Flying Ship. There was no way to avoid it.
Waves of sandstorm hit the Spirit Crab Flying Ship hard. The Spirit Crab Flying Ship's functions were all focused on flying. Its defense was not enough and after being hit by the sandstorm, it started to sway.
"Reduce the speed by 20% and increase the defense of the flying ship. We cannot be swayed by the sandstorm." The young master and the others had already walked out of the sealed room and saw the situation and said.
Elder Fu agreed. Green light flashed under his feet, and four of the eight crab legs were retracted. The green shield around the Spirit Crab Flying Ship suddenly became much more stable, resisting the impact of the sandstorm and no longer shaking.
The young master saw this and nodded. He turned to Shen Luo. Shen Luo understood and sensed the position of the mana mark. His expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" The young master saw this and asked.
"Things are a little strange. I left five mana marks in the City of Dolls. Now four of the marks are moving towards the northeast and the remaining one is moving towards the southwest. They are all very fast." Shen Luo did not hide anything and told the young master what he sensed.
"The marks are separated? Why is that? "The young master was stunned.
Shen Luo also did not understand. If Gui Yan sensed the existence of the mark, he should have destroyed it directly. Why did it split into two?
"Could it be that Gui Yan knows that we are heading over and wants to use this method to mislead us?" He suddenly had a thought, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely.
Young Master, Elder Fu, Mo Wang, and Elder Mei looked at each other. Their lips moved occasionally, apparently discussing telepathically.
Yan Wushi and the other disciples of the Tianji City had also heard the conversation, and their faces were filled with shock. However, they all waited quietly to the side, and no one spoke carelessly.
The young Headmaster and the others quickly finished their discussion and walked over.
"The mark split into two. Maybe something happened in the City of Dolls, or maybe something else. But no matter what, this is the only chance to capture Gui Yan. I cannot let it go. After our discussion, we decided to split into two groups. One group will be led by Elder Fu and me, while the other group will be led by Elder Mei and Elder Mo Wang. We will chase after the marks on both sides, "the young master said.
Shen Luo wasn't surprised by the young master's decision and didn't raise any objections. Yan Wushi and the other disciples of Tianji City naturally didn't have any objections.
The young master then began to distribute the groups. Shen Luo was assigned to Elder Mei and Elder Mo Wang's group.
Not sure if it was a coincidence or the young master's arrangement, but Yan Wushi, Lin Han, Zhou Ming, and the other disciples that Shen Luo knew were also here.
"Castellan, after I leave with the two elders, how are you going to track the four marks?" Shen Luo hesitated and asked the young master.
"Shen Daoyou, you don't have to worry about this. This Black Jade Disk is a magic treasure that I made a few years ago. It has a very good communication and positioning function. I will lend it to Shen Daoyou for now. You can use this to tell me the location of the marks at any time." The young master took out a palm-sized black disk and handed it to Shen Luo.
The disk was crystal clear and faintly emitted a cold air. It was actually made of an extremely rare black jade. There was a Natural Eight Trigrams pattern carved on the surface of the disk. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it wasn't an ordinary item.
"So the Castellan already had a plan. I worried too much." Shen Luo took the Black Jade Disk and nodded as he spoke.
After the young master taught Shen Luo how to activate the Black Jade Disk, he immediately led half of the people to chase in the northeast direction. The Spirit Crab Flying Boat belonged to Elder Fu, so it was driven along with them.
"Elder Mo Wang, in terms of speed, your Red Phoenix Flying Boat is better. It's better for us to ride on your flying boat." Elder Mei said to Elder Mo Wang, who was beside her, as she opened up a light purple barrier to protect everyone from the storm outside.
Elder Mo Wang didn't say anything. He raised his hand and waved. A red bead flew out and quickly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a red flying boat that was more than a hundred feet long. The restriction on the body of the boat constantly shot out red flame-like light.
The group of people flew into the Red Phoenix Flying Boat. The surface of the flying boat glowed with red light as it flew toward the southwest. It was like a red phoenix soaring in the sky. It wasn't much slower than the Spirit Crab Flying Boat.
Shen Luo sat down in the Red Phoenix Flying Boat and made a hand seal to activate the Black Jade Disk. Traces of black light appeared on the surface of the disk. A white light spot flashed gently on the surface and slowly moved toward the northeast direction. It was precisely where the young master was.
Seeing this, he nodded and put away the Black Jade Disk. He closed his eyes and continued to refine the Dharma treasure. At the same time, he sensed the imprints on both sides.
The Red Phoenix Flying Boat flew for a day and a night. It came to a stop outside a black mountain range.
This black mountain range was abnormally tall. From time to time, there would be giant peaks that went straight into the clouds. Moreover, the mountain range was undulating. The giant peaks were connected to each other until the end of one's vision. There was no end to it at all.
Everyone flew out of the flying boat. The huge flying boat shrunk rapidly. Soon, it turned back into a red ball and disappeared into Elder Mo Wang's sleeve.
This was the first time Shen Luo saw a mountain peak in the Boundless Sea of Sand. He couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, although the mountain range in front of him was huge, the spiritual energy was still very thin. It was no different from other places. The mountain range was very barren. There were only black mountain rocks and sand in sight. There were basically no green trees, let alone birds and beasts.
"Shen Daoyou, is the Mana imprint in this mountain range?" Elder Mei looked into the depths of the mountain range and asked without turning her head.
"That's right. It hasn't moved for a long time," Shen Luo replied.
When Elder Mei heard the reply, she didn't say anything for a while. She looked into the depths of the mountain range and frowned slightly.
Elder Mo Wang also looked at the mountain range in front of him with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Shen Luo released his consciousness to explore the black mountain range.
However, this mountain range was abnormally huge. Even with his consciousness, he couldn't see the end of it. He could only feel that there were strong waves of Yin energy coming from the depths of the mountain. There were also strange whistling sounds.
His heart moved. He then asked Yan Wushi, who was beside him, about this mountain range.
"This mountain range is called the Black Abyss Mountain Range. In the depths of the mountain range, there is a Black Abyss Maze Cave. It is a dangerous place in the Boundless Sea of Sand. The Nine Nether Draught blows there all year round. It is said that this draught comes from the Nine Nether. Even if we are Great Ascension Stage cultivators, we will be poisoned and our bones will melt. Moreover, the Yin energy in the Black Abyss Maze Cave is very dense. It gives birth to countless Yin beasts and ghosts. Even if there is a special treasure that can resist the Nine Nether Draught, it will still be torn to pieces by those Yin beasts and ghosts." Yan Wushi hesitated for a moment before explaining simply.
"Yin beasts …" Shen Luo's heart moved. He recalled the Yin beasts he met in the Boundless Sea of Sand and the City of Dolls.
The appearance of those Yin beasts was very sudden. The spiritual energy in the Boundless Sea of Sand was very thin and there were very few living beings. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible that so many Yin beasts were born. Could it be that they all came from here?
