Although Sima Quan had decided to head east, he didn't want to be hasty.
Although the Extraterrestrial Demon hid in the Spirit Cave and was almost impossible to kill, he still remembered that the Jade Heaven Sect had forced him to flee in panic with just a talisman. Therefore, he was extremely careful later on and did not dare to rashly go out.
Fortunately, in these few years, he had been using Devil Qi to infect the lower generation cultivators. About a hundred cultivators had been unknowingly controlled by him.
He didn't take their lives and only used them to investigate the situation on the surface. This prevented him from cultivating in the cave and cutting off all information.
Because he did it secretly and his techniques were profound, up until now, no one had noticed anything unusual.
At this moment, he used his mind and looked at the minds of these cultivators. He knew that the Donghua Continent was peaceful and nothing was out of the ordinary. He could make a move.
So, he raised his hand and pointed at his brow. Then, he cut himself in half.
The two mangled bodies turned into two balls of thick black smoke, and with a roll, they transformed into two identical people.
One of them sat motionless, while the other left the ground and floated towards the surface.
This clone quickly left the Spirit Cave and went downstream along the Cheng River. Most of the people living along the river were mortals, and there were fewer cultivators. So, he left the Donghua Continent smoothly and arrived at the East Sea.
Seven years ago, he had massacred many sects here, and they had not recovered yet. The flying boat celestial market that was originally in the sky was also nowhere to be seen.
However, he occasionally saw a few cultivators on the sea. Since he had already identified his target, he naturally wouldn't lose sight of the bigger picture because of these people. He ignored them and focused on his journey.
Soon, he arrived at the distant sea. Because the three families all had Grotto-Heavens guarding them. In order to avoid any accidents, he turned into an invisible body. Even if it was slower, it was better than encountering trouble. After nearly two months of delay, he finally arrived at the ocean.
There was no need to hide his tracks here, so he boldly flew across the sea.
Three months later. He came to the Outer Sea of Dong Sheng.
However, he encountered some trouble here. There were countless thick thunder clouds on the surface of the sea. They looked to stretch for tens of thousands of miles and hung extremely low. In the sea, there were thousands of strange fish swallowing thunder and fire. They jumped and jumped, causing the sky and water to be filled with lightning. He had no choice but to dive into the deep sea and try to avoid it.
It wasn't until he reached the shore that he resurfaced.
They arrived here. Many rogue cultivators could be seen. Although he was anxious to understand the situation here, these people's cultivations were not high and their knowledge was limited, so he was not in a hurry to make a move.
However, when he looked up, he was shocked. There was black smoke rising in the northern sky, as if there was a dragon or snake coiled in it. It was obviously the spiritual vigor of the Grotto-Heaven Cultivator. He didn't want to provoke them, so he looked elsewhere. He turned around and headed in the opposite direction.
Within the Deep Abyss Gate, Fu Baoxing stood on the star platform, his robes fluttering in the wind. His expression was solemn. After a long time, he pointed a finger. A glowing magic talisman flew out, leaving a trail of white smoke on the surface of the water, and flew a few miles away. Everywhere it passed, there was a faint sound of thunder. At the same time, hundreds of talismans could be seen surrounding the aura. It was faintly discernible, and it looked very similar to the divine art that Zhang Yan performed in the Hall of Duzhen that day.
He used it and unconsciously nodded, thinking to himself, "This divine art created by teacher is not only powerful, but it doesn't need to be compatible with the technique. It can be used as long as the talisman is prepared beforehand. This is another protective technique for us disciples. After I master it, I can pass it on to Huaishan to cultivate, and he can teach the other disciples in the future."
After practicing for a few more hours, he felt a strange sound coming from the formation. It was obvious that someone was here, so he stopped and said, "Is it Huaishan? Come up to the stage. "
Not long later, a middle-aged cultivator filled with righteousness came up to the star platform. It was his eldest disciple, Long Huaishan. He came up and bowed, "Greetings, teacher. It is my sin to disturb teacher's cultivation."
Even though Fu Baoxing rarely asked about the sect's affairs, it wasn't that he didn't care. Looking at his expression, he could more or less guess the reason. He sighed and said, "Is there another messenger from Zhongtai Sect?"
Long Huaishan said, "Yes, he came again to ask for my help to take back the celestial city that was previously occupied. Because I have already rejected him twice, I can't reject him outright this time, so I came to ask for teacher's opinion."
Ever since Zhang Yan forced the Python Tribe to retreat and solved the crisis between the two sects, Luo Mengze knew that he had no chance to invade the Upper Continent, so he didn't put in any effort to support the rest of Xuan Yue Tribe, causing them to be completely wiped out by Zhongtai Sect.
It was supposed to be peaceful for a period of time, but who knew that the three sects of the south took advantage of Zhongtai Sect's preoccupation and secretly took back a celestial city near Five Dragons River.
Originally, Zhongtai Sect couldn't take care of both sides, so they endured it. Now that they were free, they naturally wanted to take back the city. Therefore, they entered a dispute again. His sect couldn't do anything alone, so he naturally wanted to borrow the strength of Hanyuan Sect.
Fu Baoxing said, "As long as it's not demons like the Python Tribe causing trouble, Hanyuan Sect doesn't have to bother with these matters. Since that's the case, you can go and restrain your sect. Once you've set up the restrictive formation, just say that we have been sealed off by the sect for sixty years and are powerless to help. "
Long Huaishan was steady and conservative, so he usually didn't want to cause trouble. But with a neighbor like Zhongtai, there was always trouble, so he hated it deeply. This plan was to his liking, but he sensed something strange and asked, "Honored Teacher, is there something wrong?"
Fu Baoxing didn't hide it from him and said, "A few years ago, I received your grandmaster's talisman. He said that there were Sky Demons causing trouble in Donghua Continent, so he gave it to me to protect myself. A few days ago, I received another technique, but it's a demon-subduing technique. Your two uncle-masters also sent letters saying that the Sky Demons haven't been vanquished, so they told me to be careful. After thinking about it, I think it's better for Hanyuan Sect to seal off the mountain and stay put. "
Although Long Huaishan felt that Donghua was far from here, even the grandmaster was so serious, so it was hard to guarantee that the Sky Demons wouldn't come. He bowed and accepted the order, saying, "I'll settle down now, but I'm afraid that my juniors won't be satisfied and want to ask for an order from you."
Fu Baoxing smiled and said, "This time, I won't issue an order. Among all the disciples in the sect, your cultivation is the highest. If you can't convince your peers, how can I entrust the sect to you?"
Long Huaishan heard this and was shocked. He asked, "Is Honored Teacher going to follow grandmaster's order and go to Donghua?"
Fu Baoxing nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to wait for another hundred years. When your junior brother Gu Feng has also cultivated Yuanying, then I can leave with peace of mind. However, I've been cultivating for a long time, and I feel that if I don't go now, I might miss out on a great opportunity. Therefore, I've decided to go to Donghua High Sect after I've mastered this demon-subduing technique given by Honored Teacher and taught it to you. "
At this point, his tone became heavier. "Huaishan, after I leave, you'll be responsible for the sect's heavy responsibilities in the future."
Long Huaishan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed heavily. He said, "I won't let you down, Honored Teacher."
After Sima Quan landed, he wandered around Dongsheng Continent for a few days. He had already figured out the differences between the sects here and Donghua Continent. Most of the cultivators here sat in celestial cities, which were their bases. They were heavily guarded and heavily guarded, but the location of the sect was not valued.
This made him feel strange. After wandering for another half a month, he found a secluded celestial city and snuck in.
The restrictions here were useless to him. After entering, he easily took over the body of a Yuanying cultivator who was in charge of guarding here. Then, he used a soul-searching technique to roughly understand the power of the sects in Dongsheng Continent.
However, after investigating, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself, "That Hanyuan Sect in the north is actually a lower sect of Qincang School? I didn't expect them to extend their hands here! Fortunately, this person is not a disciple of their sect. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. With this sect around, it would not be so convenient for me to do things. "
The reason why he came to Dongsheng Continent was to avoid the Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Masters in Donghua Continent. Naturally, he did not want to expose his sect's tracks.
However, from that cultivator's godly soul, he also learned that the three sects of the south and Hanyuan Sect did not seem to be on good terms. Therefore, he decided to head south. When Hanyuan Sect received the news, he would probably have found enough godly souls.
As soon as he thought of it, he immediately went south. After a month, he arrived at the boundary of Ku Xin Sect. Here, he could see a spiritual opportunity soaring into the sky. It was spread out like a fan, like a painting screen.
Sima Quan glanced at the other two places and also vaguely saw two spiritual Qis. He thought to himself, "Although these people have all entered the gate of the elephant, their cultivation is far from Spiritual Master Li's. Previously, when I couldn't see the clear Qi above their heads from outside the continent, I thought it was intentionally concealing it. So that's not the case. It's because their Qi is weak."
At this moment, he could not help but think about whether he should find a way to attack these three people.
If it was in Donghua Continent, he naturally would not dare. Once he took this step, everyone in the world would be afraid that they would end up like him. They would definitely gang up on him and not allow him to exist in this world for another moment.
However, it was different here. Luo Mengze's cultivation was obviously the highest, but he was a demon cultivator. Not only did he not have any relations with the human cultivators here, they were also on guard against each other. He only had to deal with three people from Dongsheng Grotto-Heaven. Even if he could not defeat them, he could still retreat safely.
And if he could swallow the spirit of a person from a Grotto-Heaven, the benefits would be indescribable. Compared to that, the Yuanying cultivators were nothing.
With this thought, the demonic nature that had not appeared for a long time also stirred, as if it was urging him to act faster. It was as if it wanted him to immediately rush up and kill these three people.
However, he did not act rashly. He looked at the Qi for a long time and confirmed that the owner of the Qi in front of him had the weakest cultivation. Only then did he turn invisible and sneak toward the place of cultivation.
Not long after, he came to the bottom of a cliff with inscriptions carved on it. Below it was a thousand-acre sinkhole. Thistles and thorns were everywhere, and the vegetation was lush.
What was surprising was that the east of this place was slightly higher. There was a large flat rock, and on top of it was a stone brush that was a few miles long. The front part was on the rock, and the back part was stuck in the sinkhole, pointing diagonally toward the sky. It looked like a painting of heaven and earth. And that clear Qi came from the cave abode on the cliff.
Sima Quan looked at the stone brush a few times. He could see that this was a powerful real treasure, and it seemed to be a threat to him. He did not dare to be careless. With a gust of cold wind, he went around it and floated into the cave abode. Very quickly, he came to the depths and saw a woman sitting on a brocade couch. She was dressed in bright clothes and had her hair tied up in a high bun. She was performing a spell and was meditating with her eyes closed.
