In the Profound Zhengzhou Continent, the Dao Sects prospered while the Fiend Sects retreated. All the Fiend Sects' forces were scattered in four directions. The Dark Nether Sect that Ji Feichen was in was in the southern border. The cave abode where he disguised himself as a Daoist disciple was in the ancient battlefield near Southern Border. This place was a chaotic place with many Daoists and Fiends. It was the best place to hide one's identity.
Ji Feichen had disguised himself as a Daoist disciple. This was his private action. His sect did not know about it either. Therefore, he built a cave abode at the ancient battlefield at Southern Border. Every time he went out, he would come here to change his identity. This cave abode was also his base to escape the Fiends' control.
This ancient cave abode was said to be a place left behind by an Immortal. It had been turned into ruins in the war more than a thousand years ago. However, the protective array outside the cave abode was still in operation. It prevented outsiders from spying and protected this cave abode that had lost its owner.
Ji Feichen held the Ink Dragon Scale and used the Water Mirror Heaven Reversal Incantation. This incantation used water as a medium. The water ripples shone on the surroundings. Even the cave abode shrouded in white fog could be seen clearly in the dragon scale. The starlight on the dragon's scale outlined the route of the formation, and Ji Feichen entered the cave with ease. Back then, he could find this cave abode because of the dragon scale's magical effect.
This cave abode occupied a mountain. It was not eye-catching in the ancient battlefield. Ji Feichen walked around and came to a garden in the cave abode. Ji Feichen did not occupy the entire cave abode. Instead, he only took a spirit garden inside the cave abode as his own. He repaired the spirit garden's restrictions one by one and turned it into his base.
First, there was the ancient battlefield, then the cave abode ruins to distract him. Finally, there was Ji Feichen's base.
This spirit garden seemed to have been built to collect Sun and Moon Dew. Ji Feichen saw that the spirit garden was still intact. The courtyard was green and Qing Hong. It was decorated with jade bricks and vermillion tiles. Quiet rooms with empty windows were arranged in an orderly manner. Therefore, he used this as his temporary residence.
The words "Sun Moon Court" were written on the board at the entrance of the spirit garden. There was a line of small words on each side. On the left was written "Flying Moon Descends West Mountain", and on the right was written "Morning Sun Illuminates the Nine Heavens".
When Ji Feichen first came here and saw this scene, he immediately thought of making this place his secret base.
He flicked his finger at the board, and the three words "Sun Moon Court" danced like dragons and snakes. Then, they reversed their positions and shot out White Celestial Light. Immediately, a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish appeared on the door.
Then, Ji Feichen cast an incantation on the couplets on both sides. A bright moon rose from the left, shining with silver light, while a bright sun rose from the right, shining with golden light. The sun and moon rose into the sky, turning into keys that were inserted into the eyes of the Yin-Yang fish on the door. The Taiji Diagram rotated three times in a clockwise direction and nine times in a reverse direction before it slowly opened.
This was a protective barrier that Ji Feichen had prepared to prevent others from approaching. As soon as he stepped into the Spirit Garden, the door closed automatically.
Walking into the Spirit Garden, there were ancient vines and old vines hanging in the corners of the walls. The green leaves were dotted with Red Flower Dan Fruits. There were green bamboos and red peaches planted in the courtyard. The green bamboos and green bamboos swayed with the wind, while the red flowers and red stamens shone on the peach petals.
Originally, there weren't many plants in this Spirit Garden. They were all transplanted by Ji Feichen from outside. Other than the peach trees and bamboos, there were also some medicinal seeds scattered in the soil on both sides of the courtyard. It was a pity that Ji Feichen was often not here, so it was difficult for even the easily grown medicinal herbs to truly survive. Only a few medicinal herbs sprouted and took root in the soil.
After casually looking around, Ji Feichen walked into the most important Dew Bearing Platform of the Spirit Garden.
The Dew Bearing Platform received the Heavenly Dew from the clouds. Gu Yun said, "Bear the Heavenly Dew to resist the Immortal's Palm, and raise up the Golden Stalk." In the eyes of the Emperors, this Dew Bearing Platform was a sacred object that received the Heavenly Dew from the Heavens in order to seek immortality. However, in the eyes of cultivators like Ji Feichen, the so-called "Heavenly Dew" was merely a spiritual liquid formed from the essence of the sun and the moon. It was a spiritual item that they consumed daily. The Dew Bearing Platform was merely a building that condensed the essence of the sun and the moon.
The jade platform was ten meters tall and surrounded by eight golden coiled dragon pillars. Walking up the jade platform to examine the spiritual liquid, there were only a few hundred silver pills in the jade cauldron in the center.
There was a saying: "The fragrance of the jade cauldron is fine and the smoke is fine, the sunlight is beautiful and the shadows move."
This Dew Bearing Platform absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and condensed the Heavenly Dew. Each pill was like a water droplet, shining with a silver glow. This was a symbol of the condensation of starlight. Wisps of mist continuously flowed out of the jade cauldron, filling the air with fragrance.
Ji Feichen put away the Heavenly Dew. Suddenly, the Mansion Guarding Tablet on the other side of the Spirit Garden sounded an alarm. The young man frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and hurried to the right side.
The two most important areas of the Sun Moon Garden were the Dew Bearing Platform on the left and the Mansion Guarding Tablet on the right. The Dew Bearing Platform absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, while the Mansion Guarding Tablet could observe the situation of the entire cave abode and control the protective array outside to repel enemies.
Walking over to take a look, the nine feet white jade tablet projected the situation of the cave abode's protective array. At this moment, at the edge of the array, seven people were carefully exploring it.
"It's this time again? Could it be that another unlucky child has obtained the keepsake that I've given out before? "Ji Feichen chuckled and casually tossed the twenty-four Biechao pearls out of his sleeves. Twenty-four streams of light flew out of the Spirit Garden as if they had a mind of their own and entered the Formation Eye of the Cavern Abode Formation.
Outside the ancient cave, there was a grand formation called the "Eight Desolate God Locking Cloud Light Formation". Using the eight doors as the eye of the formation, using clouds and mist to conceal the abode of immortals, creating Misty Immortal Qi, and within the clouds and mist, a kind of Divine Locking Golden Light would be produced to attack the enemy. At its peak, this formation could withstand the attack of a Human Immortal. According to Ji Feichen's speculations, this Ancient Immortal Mansion should be a grotto-mansion left behind by a Human Immortal. That was why such a high-level array was left behind.
The Eight Desolations corresponded to eight gates, namely the Gate of Opening, the Gate of Healing, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Pain, the Gate of Limit, the Gate of View, the Gate of Death, and the Gate of Surprise. Ji Feichen's decision to throw the twenty-four Biechao pearls into the formation was also quite reasonable. Three pearls were placed into one of the eight gates, and the eight gates operated according to the twenty-four solar terms.
Since ancient times, winter was the first season. Opening the gate was the beginning of all things, and it was a great blessing. That was why there were three Biechao pearls, Beginning of Winter, Beginning of Snow, and Beginning of Great Snow to guard this gate.
The Gate of Rest used Winter Solstice, Beginning of Winter, Beginning of Cold, and Beginning of Cold, and so on. The Gate of Life used Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Rain, and Waking of Insects; the Gate of Pain used Vernal Equinox, Qingming, and Guyu; the Gate of Limit used Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Full Moon, and Beginning of Awn; the Gate of View used Summer Solstice, Beginning of Heat, and Great Heat; the Gate of Death used Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Heat, and White Dew; and finally, the Gate of Alarm used Autumn Equinox, Cold Dew, and Frost Descent.
The twenty-four Jade Tide Pearls activated the water elemental energy, activating the eight gates one after another. A vast white fog enveloped the abode of immortals, and within it was hidden a murderous intent, waiting for the intruders.
The ancient battlefield was the site of the great war between Daoists and Demons a thousand years ago. Scattered here were the remains of many immortal and demonic cultivators' abodes. It was said that this ancient battlefield was originally a famous blessed land, but it was completely destroyed during the great war. Now, the red fog surged and killing intent soared. Ninety percent of the spirit veins here were destroyed. Aside from some low-level cultivators, few Human Immortals came here to look for treasures.
"Boss Cao, do you think our line of work will work?" A skinny man with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks said with a sharp voice, "The ancient battlefield was formed a thousand years ago, the treasures in those immortal abodes have long been taken away by others. Why would they leave them for small fries like us?"
"Brother Feng is right." A beautiful woman with a white veil covering her face said softly, "These ruins have already been searched by those immortals countless times in the first few years. After all these years, what kind of treasures could there be? "
Boss Cao, who was in the middle, laughed out loud, "Fairy Lotus only knows one thing but not the other. Back then, those experts did clean up the battlefield and check the situation of the immortal abodes. After all these years, many immortal abodes were severely damaged, so it's hard to find any good treasures. But that's only for Human Immortals. For us cultivators who are still in the Exuvia realm, even a small sprout left behind back then can be considered a thousand-year-old spirit herb after a thousand years! "
The four realms of cultivation were Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Essence into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, and Refining Void into Dao. And now, these people that Boss Cao gathered belonged to the Refining Essence into Qi level, which was called the Exuvia realm. Only by reaching the Refining Essence into Spirit and condensing the Golden Core of the Great Dao could one be considered to have truly entered the Dao and be called an immortal among humans.
Most of the immortal abodes left behind in the ancient battlefield were left behind by Human Immortals.
"Moreover, this immortal abode that I found was left behind by a Human Immortal. The spiritual energy inside is very dense, maybe there is an immortal herb left behind back then. "
A disapproving look flashed across Fairy Lotus' beautiful eyes. If it was just an Exuvia realm herb, with her background, why would she be interested in it?
"I see that the jade token in Boss Cao's hand contains immortal energy, it should be a guide item for a Human Immortal abode. If it's well preserved, there might still be a few treasures left there. "
They walked into the range of the Eight Desolate Soul Lock Cloud Light Formation. Ji Feichen immediately activated the formation. Rays of golden light flew out from the boundless white mist. Two people couldn't defend in time and were directly killed by the golden light.
Ji Feichen sat under the jade tablet with a smile on his face. He threw one of the immortal abode's tokens outside. Every once in a while, someone would decipher the puzzle map in the token and find the immortal abode. Then, he only needed to wait and use the formation to kill the person who came and take their belongings.
There were many immortal abodes in the ancient battlefield, cultivators died here every day, so it didn't attract too much attention. With Ji Feichen's cautiousness, this was already the third batch of people that came.
Sitting firmly on the bait, those who were willing to take the bait.
Using the immortal abode as bait, there would naturally be greedy people who would obediently take the bait with their belongings.
Ji Feichen used some tricks and killed two people at the beginning. The other five people's expressions changed, they each used their magic artifacts to defend against the attack.
"The formation in the immortal abode is under my control, as long as it's not a Human Immortal, anyone else will die for sure." Ji Feichen was about to increase his strength, but suddenly his expression turned serious. He looked outside the white mist of the formation. There was another group of people hiding there, they were obviously following Boss Cao's group, they wanted to catch a mantis stalking a cicada.
"This is a bit too much." Ji Feichen muttered to himself. He set up a trap in the immortal abode, waiting for outsiders to come. Because he was worried that too many people would come, he only threw out a token. But if there was a little carelessness outside, the news would be leaked. In this ancient battlefield close to Southern Border's demonic path, people's hearts were extremely sinister. Betrayal, killing, plotting, revenge, they played out at every moment.
Ji Feichen measured the second group: this group had a total of five people, but they were stronger than the previous group, two of them were even stronger than him.
"But I control the formation and the immortal abode, I just need to wait for them to fight among themselves." To avoid alerting the enemy, Ji Feichen deliberately suppressed the formation's power, allowing the second group to come in.
At this moment, Boss Cao brought Lotus Fairy and the others to the gate.
A dragon-like little beast flew out of Boss Cao's jade dragon paperweight. The little beast lightly breathed at the gate, a stream of dragon energy opened the gate. Then, the paperweight flew into Boss Cao's hand.
Boss Cao said to the remaining four people beside him: "Everyone, I will open the gate. But there are immortal restrictions in the immortal abode, we still need to help each other inside. According to the previous agreement, the treasures found will be divided into six parts, I will take two. "
After all, Boss Cao was leading, so no one had any objections to him taking two parts.
But at this time, a laugh came from the clouds behind: "Two parts? Brother, don't you want to think about it! "The red-robed man led his four fellow disciples over slowly.
He couldn't see clearly from the stone tablet, but seeing these people up close, Ji Feichen raised his sword-like eyebrows and said in surprise: "People from Bright Sun Path?"
"Bright Sun Demon Sect!" Boss Cao and the others' expressions changed drastically. This was one of the ten demonic path sects, Bright Sun Demon Sect, known as the leader of Southern Border's hundred demons.
"You … you followed us in?" Old Cao's mind turned quickly, trying to think of who leaked the secret.
"Boss Cao, everyone who saw it has a share. Since we have seen it, shouldn't you give us a share? En, this Southern Border is our Bright Sun Path's territory, this protection fee should also be calculated. "
"Nonsense! Although Bright Light Ancient Battlefield is close to Southern Border, it is also the territory of my Xuan Gate's power. Aren't you afraid that our Xuan Gate's High Immortals will find trouble with you? "Boss Cao was reluctant to admit his mistake while signaling his companions with his eyes. He wanted to escape into the immortal abode and close the door to block them.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. A wave of magic power instantly destroyed his vitality and killed him.
Boss Cao's eyes widened, and he looked at his companions behind him with a look of disbelief: "You …" He stretched out his trembling fingers. That person snatched the paperweight and threw him to the ground.
"Sorry, I am a spy."
