Zhang Yan entered seclusion to comprehend swordsmanship, and all external affairs were handed over to his disciples. *
After a month, he received a letter from the sea. After thinking about it, he created a clone and left Qincang School, heading toward the southeast coast of Donghua.
Half a day later, he arrived at the sea. He did not stop here, but traveled hundreds of miles. He saw an island hidden in the fog below, and he knew that he had reached the boundary. He pressed down the clouds.
This island was called Mount Bo Lai, and there was a high cliff on the mountain. The moon hung in the night, and the sun dragged the clouds. In ancient times, the mortals on the land used to call it "Immortal Mountain."
When he bumped into Patriarch Jing Cang in the void, the latter had given him a total of three small realms in order to ask for his help. Later, the Three Upper Halls each took one, and the small realm occupied by the Hall of Du Zhen was here.
Although this mountain was on the sea, it was still within the borders of Donghua Realm, and it was naturally full of spiritual energy. However, after thousands of years, all the cultivators of the sects that set up their mountain gates always felt that their breathing was not smooth, and it was difficult to move their mana. Because no one could find the real reason, all of them reluctantly gave up.
Because this place was not far from the Donghua Continent, it was originally abandoned by cultivators and occupied by mortals. However, the restrictive matrices set up by the sects in the past were still there, so after many years, there was no trace of people. Instead, there were many strange birds and rare animals.
Only when Zhang Yan sent his disciple, Fu Baoxing, over and occupied this small world did he find out that everything that had happened before was the arrangement of the great cultivator that created this world, and it was all for the sake of preventing others from encroaching on this blessed land.
Zhang Yan ignored all the restrictive matrices and passed through them. He arrived at the top of the high cliff in the middle of the island and looked down. He saw a jade archway between two neat large rocks. It was six feet high, and there were several lanterns hanging on both sides. Smoke surged between the archway's doors. Like clouds rising from the mountain, it was the entrance to the realm.
Fu Baoxing was standing in front of the door with two disciples at the moment. He had received a message earlier and knew that his master would come today, so he came out early to welcome him. At this time, he saw a clear light falling from the sky, and he immediately bowed respectfully. His mouth said, "Disciple respectfully welcomes Master."
Zhang Yan descended the cloud stairs and said, "Get up and talk."
Fu Baoxing acknowledged and stood up.
Zhang Yan asked, "Have the two Zhenren arrived?"
Fu Baoxing bowed and said, "Master, the two Spiritual Masters have arrived, and the disciples of the three families have moved into the small world."
After Tao Zhenhong and Mi Xiunan fought with Yuxiao, they moved out of the South Sea with the help of the Dragon Palace. As they needed a place to cultivate, Zhang Yan opened up this small world to accommodate the two families and Yan Zhongguan's disciple.
Zhang Yan asked a few more questions. He walked out of the small world and passed through the layer of clouds. In front of him was a bridge that hung over a cliff, and below it was a deep ravine. In front of the bridge was a pavilion, and Tao and Mi were standing in front of it. They bowed and said, "Zhenren Zhang greets you."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said, "Greetings to both of you."
After this small world absorbed all the clear Qi previously, the spiritual vigor was already full. In addition to the elixir jades that were supplied to the two of them, it was enough for them to cultivate. However, the two of them were afraid of destroying this place, so they did not enter the small world. At this time, their real bodies were cultivating in the cave abode of the Immortal Palace under the sea, and they only had a clone.
The three of them chatted for a while and flew to a high peak deep in this small world. After arriving at that place, he found an extremely spacious altar and landed on it.
Tao Zhenren pointed at the flying corridors of the temples on the mountain ridge and said, "There are a lot of buildings and pavilions left by the Realm Master. It is more than enough to accommodate the disciples of our three families. There is no need to build a residence, so we have more time to cultivate. Thank you very much, Zhenren. "
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head, and said, "The two of you have worked hard for Qincang. This small world is really nothing."
As the three of them spoke, they sat down on the platform.
Tao Zhenren sighed, "It is a pity that we have to retreat from Fengling Ocean after resisting the enemy Yuxiao for less than a day. I have let down your sect's trust."
Zhang Yan said, "Tao Zhenren is exaggerating. Yuxiao and the others have joined forces, and the two of you have to survive for a night. It is already impressive enough. Moreover, this time it is not a battle of success or failure. It is normal to advance and retreat, attack and defend. You don't have to worry about it."
Mi Zhenren had been quiet all this while, but now he snorted and said, "If it was not for the hasty relocation and lack of preparation, Yuxiao might not be able to force the two of us to leave."
Tao Zhenren smiled and said, "With Yuxiao's strength, it is not something we can fight against. But this time, as Fellow Daoist Mi said, we were in a hurry. We still lack a lot of thought. Thinking back, if we could have stabilized the formation a little more, at least we would not have been in such a difficult situation."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Master Tao is being modest." He paused and looked at the two of them, and said, "After this battle, we can see that the cultivators of Yuxiao value their cultivation. Even if it is a threat to their own backyard, they are reluctant to fight. The next time we set up a formation, there is no harm in starting with this."
Tao Zhenren looked over and said, "Zhenren Zhang, do you have a plan?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "The next time we set up a formation on the sea, if they don't come personally, they will definitely use their true weapons to attack. If I can sabotage one or two of them, then when the calamity comes, the threat to Qincang School will be reduced a little."
Even for a large sect like Yuxiao school, the number of true weapons that can be used as they wish is only a dozen or so. As for killing weapons, they are even rarer. If they can find a way to destroy one or two of them, then when the calamity comes, the threat to Qincang School will be reduced a little.
Tao Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "I understand Zhenren Zhang's intention. This time the formation, not only must it be sturdy, it must also be proficient in changes. But this will take more time. I am afraid that before we reach the sea, it will be broken by Yuxiao, so we need to think of another countermeasure."
Zhang Yan said, "I have already thought about it. There is no harm in refining the formation outside first, then setting it up on the sea after that."
Tao Zhenren pondered and said, "That is one way. But to do it this way, not only will it cost several times the price, it will also take a long time. If we want to successfully refine it, even if we spend a hundred years of effort, it may not be possible."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "How can we let Tao Zhenren do it alone? I can give an order to mobilize Fang Chen, Zi Guang, Ling Ji and Bao Yang, four houses to do it together."
Tao Zhenren pondered for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "With your honorable sect's help, fifty years should be enough. May I ask, how far will your honorable sect allow me to go?"
Zhang Yan smiled indifferently and said, "Tao Zhenren can do whatever you want."
Qincang School was a great sect with a history of ten thousand years, its foundation was deep and its accumulation was incalculable. Whether it was treasured materials, pills or other external things, it did not lack them at all. But these things were useless in the school on normal days, it was better to evolve them into useful combat power before the calamity.
When Tao Zhenren heard this, his eyes brightened. He thought for a moment, then stretched out his sleeve and used his mana to show the scenery of the south in front of the three people, saying, "In that case, I will also be bold to say, the next time we make arrangements, there is no harm in setting up two Xuan formations. One, we can rely on the Fengling Ocean as bait, luring Yuxiao to attack." He moved towards the south again, pointed with his finger and said, "We can set up another formation here, stay hidden and wait for the enemy to relax and reveal a flaw, then we can launch the attack in one fell swoop!" At this point, he raised his head and said, "I dare not say that this plan will succeed. But as long as your honorable sect is determined, it will increase the chances of success. "
Although in a battle formation, there were many variables and no one could guarantee that his sect would be able to gain the upper hand, but if Qincang School really spared no expense this time, his chances of winning were not small.
Zhang Yan said, "How long does Zhenren think it will take to set up this formation?"
Tao Zhenren said, "If your honorable sect can support us with all their strength, we will not lack any external things, fifty years can be completed."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, although Tao and Mi had only fought for a day, their exhaustion was not small. If they want to recover, they would need a lot of time. By that time, the formation map should be completed, so he nodded and said, "We will follow Zhenren's plan."
After the discussion, he bid farewell to the two of them, his clone returned to the mountain gate and set up various matters.
In a flash, more than ten years had passed.
On this day, thunder rumbled in the sky above the Western Extreme Continent, and each rumble was louder than the one before, shocking the living beings on the continent to the point of scurrying about while the mortals knelt down and kowtowed, praying to the gods.
A few days later, a bolt of lightning flashed down from the sky and split a mountain into two. At the same time, a crack seemed to have been torn open in the sky, and a black light flew out and instantly descended on the mountain. If one looked carefully, it was actually a golden flood dragon that was over 300 meters long. However, what was unusual was that there was actually a pair of jet-black short horns on the flood dragon's head, and there was lightning circling above it. It was actually showing signs of transforming into a dragon.
"Guarding the spirit heart to see the moon, the tides of the four seas shed their fins and scales, the supernatural power was originally taught by the stone man, the sound of the jade bell beating the dragon gate!"
The flood dragon turned around, spiraled up, and transformed into a young cultivator with his hair tied up and eyebrows trimmed in the dense mist. It was Li Xiumi, who had previously hidden in the small world to cultivate. With the help of the broken horn sent by the Demon Court, he had trained for more than 20 years and finally achieved the Heavenly Abode!
He stood in mid-air and looked up at the sky. That place was blooming with rays of light, and within a radius of ten thousand miles, seven-colored rays of light scattered in all directions. Layer by layer, it was like the reflection of the sky on the surface of the water. It was the sign of the small world breaking apart.
Because when he achieved the Grotto-Heaven, the spiritual vigor of this small world was taken away by him, causing it to collapse. However, before it was completely destroyed, if he did not come out, he would fall into the darkness, and it would be impossible for him to step into the real world.
At first, he thought that with his current mana, breaking out of the small world would be easy, but after trying a few times, he failed, and his mana was greatly depleted. Fortunately, he still had many elixir jades with him, and finally broke through the barrier before they were all used up, and he was able to escape.
Now that he thought about it, his heart palpitated. If he lost one or two of those elixir jades, it would be difficult to come out again. It could be said that it was extremely dangerous.
He retracted his Qi, looked around, and thought to himself, "Looking at the weak spiritual vigor of this place, the continuous marshes, and the collapsed mountains, it should not be in the Four Eastern Continents, but rather the rumored West Continent. Fortunately, it is here. If I still came out from the Fengling Ocean, I might have attracted Yuxiao's attack."
Although the people of the Grotto-Heaven had the ability to use Qi, if they were far away, unless the cultivator's mana was too strong and difficult to conceal, it would be difficult for others of the same generation to sense it.
However, if he wanted to return to the East Flower Continent, he would inevitably leak out his Qi during the shift. Once he reached the East Flower Continent, it would be difficult for him to not be detected. He thought about it deeply and decided to hide his tracks. It would be more beneficial to the overall situation, so he decided to go back by the deep sea.
After thinking about it, he shook his body and transformed back into the body of the dragon, leaped into the vast ocean, and swam east.
