Zhang Yan, who was in the Palace of Purity Truth, also sensed the changes outside the Virtual Sky.
What was different from the rest of the Grotto-heaven people was that the Nine Demon Suppression Scroll hidden in between his brows was actually jumping around, as if it was a demon that could be swallowed.
Ever since he reached the fifth transformation of the Divine Perception, the scroll had quietened down, as if it had no intention of absorbing any more essence.
He also felt that it was impossible for him to find a fortuitous encounter to advance to the next realm in this world.
However, with such a change today, there must be some kind of change that he could look forward to.
He changed his mind. The appearance of the Heavenly Demon was too sudden, and the situation was not clear yet. Therefore, the South Sea attack that he originally planned had to be delayed.
He immediately ordered Jing You to send two more letters to where Tao Zhenren and Li Xiumi were. He wanted them to stop fighting and wait for this matter to pass before making any moves.
At this moment he suddenly heard the sound of a bell in the Upper Extreme Hall, his expression changed slightly, knowing that it was Qi Yun Tian who invited him. He stepped through the formation door and went outside, heading towards the Upper Extreme Hall. Halfway there, he saw a golden light flying over, it was Huo Xuan who heard the sound from the Daylight Hall and similarly came over.
The two of them greeted each other and entered the hall together. They exchanged greetings with Qi Yuntian before sitting down.
Qi Yuntian said solemnly, "The foul demonic energy outside the sky, the two of you should have noticed it. The person who came should be the body of the Heavenly Demon, suspected to be Sima Quan. Junior Brother Huo had fought with him before, I wonder if it is him?"
Huo Xuan's expression turned solemn, "This person's aura is the same as Sima Quan's, he is definitely the demon. However, whether or not it is still the original is still up for discussion."
Zhang Yan also said, "Ancestor Jing Cang, who gave me the small world, told me that dozens of years ago, there was an item that went to the virtual sky. Calculating the time, it was Senior Brother Huo. After killing the demon in Dong Sheng, I think it was Sima Quan. Now that he has returned, he must have gotten some kind of opportunity outside the sky. "
Huo Xuan said solemnly, "After killing Sima Quan's demonic body, I thought that even if the demonic poison was left in the world, it wouldn't be of much use. Who would have thought that dozens of years later, it would be even stronger than before. Otherwise, today's change wouldn't have happened. "
Qi Yuntian said, "This is not Junior Huo's fault. During the Devil Tribulation, he was blessed by fate energy. Otherwise, Sima Quan would not have become the Chaotic World Demon. It's just that this devil is a great calamity for our Xuan Sect, so I've invited my two Junior Brothers over to discuss countermeasures. "
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Judging by the demon's current aura, it is impossible for him to go against our Dong Hua and Xuan Demon families. However, he returned with such great fanfare, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know. There must be a reason for this."
Huo Xuan turned his gaze over. "Junior Brother Zhang, did you see anything?"
Zhang Yan shook his head. He did not know much about Sima Quan's reasons for doing so. It was hard to see through him at the moment.
Huo Xuan pondered deeply for a moment before he said, "Why don't we wait for a while? This devil is still in the outer space, and we're paying attention to every single one of his actions, so he shouldn't be able to cause any great waves. If he really has any intentions, then he won't delay for too long, and we'll be able to see the outcome in a short period of time."
Zhang Yan nodded his head and said, "Senior Brother is right. However, just in case, I can go to the Azure Sky Hall to hold the fort. If he really comes to the Nine Regions, I can stop him. "
Qi Yuntian pondered for a while. With Zhang Yan's ability, this devil definitely wouldn't be able to come over smoothly. As long as he could stop him, the Qincang School's Heavenly Abodes would be able to help. So he agreed, "Let's do that first."
Zhang Yan had another thought and said, "There's one more thing, if the Shaoqing Zhenren sees this devil, I'm afraid they'll take the initiative to fight him. I'd like to ask Sect Leader to write a letter to the Shaoqing Ying Zhenren. It's not suitable for our two families to make a move for now, and we'll decide after seeing the situation. "
Qi Yuntian nodded his head. "Junior Brother's reminder is right. We should inform Fellow Daoist Shaoqing."
After the Heavenly Devil appeared, no one from Shaoqing came out to fight. It was probably because of Ying Chunqiu's suppression. However, if they sent out the name of the overall situation, it would be easier to suppress the situation.
After the three finished their discussion, Zhang Yan left the Upper Extreme Hall and turned into a ray of clear light. He ascended to the Azure Sky Hall and looked towards the Void Sky. He saw that there were only six cauldrons there, and the demonic smoke that was ten thousand miles long had disappeared. The devil had already escaped into it.
From this, it could be deduced that the devil was also afraid of the poisonous fire and strong Qi. It could only survive in the Void Sky with the help of this treasured cauldron.
After looking for a while, the Demon Vanquishing Slip suddenly jumped non-stop again. His eyes flickered, and he calmed it down with a thought.
Not long after he sat there, he suddenly saw a hexagonal palace floating towards the Azure Sky Hall from outside the Void Sky. The size of the palace was hard to distinguish. It seemed to be wide and small at the same time, as if a painting was unfolded.
After he saw him, his body swayed and released a clone into the void. He asked, "Are you Zhenren Jing Cang?"
There was a flash of light in the palace, and a grey-robed Daoren with an old face came out. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Zhenren is wandering outside the Void Sky. Are you here for that Heavenly Devil?"
Grandmaster Jing Cang said, "That devil has already sensed my presence here. It won't be long before he comes to find me. Daoren, I'm just a clone, so there's nothing to be afraid of. However, this Celestial Palace won't be able to be protected. Coming to your place, I hope that I can be safe."
Zhang Yan smiled. He knew that the other party was just a clone, but he wasn't as weak as he said. Otherwise, Sima Quan would have come to find him the moment he discovered the Startling Sky Palace. The reason why he didn't make a move was probably because he was worried. So he said, "If Zhenren is willing to stay here, I will gladly welcome you."
After half a month, the Zhenren from the various sects felt that even though the Heavenly Devil was still in the void, the spiritual vigor of the nine continents was much thinner than before. It was obvious that some of it had been stolen by some means.
At the mountain gate of Bu Tian Pavilion, Sect Leader Tan Dingxian frowned. He didn't expect another wave to come before the first wave subsided.
Now, he had already obtained a Coiling Wood Leaf from the Supreme Sky Sect. With the help of this item, the sect had once again returned to the sky. However, he was no longer able to roam freely like before, and he could only drift along with the wind.
However, this was also a temporary measure. Every time the spiritual vigor of heaven and earth decreased, the mountain gate would become heavier.
This time, the Heavenly Devil appeared out of nowhere, causing the mountain gate to sink even more. And this was still outside the Void Sky. It was hard to imagine what would happen if it was in the Donghua Continent.
Bu Jingsu sighed and said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother. Why don't I go to Yuxiao school and ask for their help to get rid of this devil. "
Tan Dingxian shook his head and said, "Yuxiao school won't help."
He could see clearly that Yuxiao did not even fight when the formation was set up on the Fengling Ocean. Why would they risk losing their cultivation to fight the devil outside the Void Sky?
After a sigh, he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother, you still need to go. If I don't mention it, Yuxiao will definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb. At least mention it. At least they will be able to help in times of danger. "
Bu Jingsu said, "Alright. But do I need to bring one or two magical treasures to Yuxiao?"
Tan Dingxian said, "The magical treasures in the sect were originally reserved to deal with the Devil's Doctrine … Forget it, dealing with the Heavenly Devil is more important. Bring two top-grade magical treasures with you, lest Yuxiao thinks that we only know how to ask for help."
Bu Jingsu stood up from the cattail hassock and said, "I will leave now."
At the foot of Mount Kun Shi, tens of thousands of feet deep, on the Devil's Doctrine's ritual altar, rays of light and shadows suddenly appeared. Not long after, six figures appeared. They were the six sects of the Devil's Doctrine because of the appearance of the Heavenly Devil outside the Void Sky. Together, they discussed countermeasures.
Wen Qingxiang looked around and saw that on the cliff of the cave not far away, there were insects that were as black as ink and looked like black cicadas. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect this place to be invaded by such a devil."
Zhenren Li reached out and took one of them. With a gentle pinch, the insect hissed and turned into a wisp of black smoke that dissipated. He said in a deep voice, "The devil insects are formed from the purest Yin Qi, and there is a lot of dirty Yin Qi here. It is the devil insects' favorite place."
Zhenren Wei said coldly, "Recently, the turbid Yin Qi in the spirit cave of the Yuan Mirage Sect has gradually decreased. I think it is because of these devil insects."
Zhenren Huan sighed and said, "It is not only your sect, it is the same for my Huncheng Sect. These insects are everywhere, and there is no end to them. I think the sects of the various sects have also been invaded. "
Zhenren Lu of the Jiuling Sect said with a gloomy face, "These devil insects can climb all over the spirit cave and devour spiritual opportunity. When they accumulate to a certain amount, they will attack my sect's disciples and devour their flesh and blood. My sect has already thought of a way to seal it. However, this is something that Sima Quan intentionally did. As long as this person does not die, we will not be able to get rid of these insects. "
Zhenren Li said, "This is the reason why I invited everyone here today. Sima Quan is proficient in our sect's Phase Reversal Technique, and he can use these devil insects to transfer the spiritual opportunity they devour into his own body. In other words, even if he lives outside, he will grow stronger all the time. Even if he does not come to the Nine Continents, his cultivation will continue to improve, and the spiritual opportunity of our sect's spirit cave will continue to decrease. If we do not deal with him as soon as possible, he will become a great threat to our generation sooner or later!"
When the Zhenren heard this, they all felt horrified. It was not hard to imagine that Sima Quan was like a poisonous insect climbing the Nine Continents, devouring the spiritual opportunity of this world.
Zhenren Wei's eyes revealed a ruthless look, and he said, "In that case, we can only act as soon as possible."
Wen Qingxiang opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, Sima Quan needs to be dealt with eventually, but taking the initiative to attack is not the best plan."
Everyone turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
Zhenren Li said, "What does Daoist Wen think?"
Wen Qingxiang smiled and said, "Since the spiritual opportunity of the world is dissipating, Xuanmen should be more anxious than me. Moreover, they do not know of my abnormality. If we continue to wait, they will not be able to endure it."
Everyone thought about it for a moment and nodded their heads.
Now that the turbidity had dissipated, other than the three major sects of Xuanmen, the other sects were struggling to maintain the Spirit Cave. What Sima Quan did was tantamount to tearing open a wound that could not be healed. Xuanmen's desire to get rid of him was more urgent than theirs.
Wen Qingxiang said again, "If we want to act, we need to fight Sima Quan outside the Void. Since this person dared to steal spiritual opportunity so brazenly, he should have thought of the consequences of doing so. He must be prepared. If I go there and take him down, it will be fine. If I fail to take him down, the damage to my cultivation is only a small matter. If I am not careful, it is very likely that I will end up being devoured by him."
Everyone's heart trembled. None of them had cultivated to the third stage of the Elephant Realm. If they fought outside the Void, once they encountered danger, they would not be able to escape into their own caves. At that time, they would not even be able to escape.
Zhenren Gai of the Bone Sect said, "Daoist Wen, are you saying that this Sima Quan deliberately set up a trap to lure us there?"
Wen Qingxiang said, "That may not be the case, but it should be my goal. We can send someone to negotiate with him later and see what he wants."
Zhenren Li said, "Who will go?"
Wen Qingxiang smiled and said, "Since I suggested it, of course I will go."
Zhenren Gai said, "Even if Zhenren Wen's blood doppelganger is no different from your own body, it is still easy for the Sky Demon to take advantage of it. I can send a demonic weapon. Even if it is destroyed, it will not be a big loss."
Zhenren Li said, "This method is appropriate. The calamity is coming, and we are weaker than Xuanmen. We must find a way to protect ourselves and not easily lose our cultivation."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhenren Gai said, "I will start the spell now. Please wait here."
Just as he was speaking, a ball of fire suddenly flew out from the Donghua Continent. It passed through the nine layers of High Cloud and flew towards the six cauldrons.
After a day, they finally arrived in front of the six mountain-like cauldrons. The ball of fire opened, and a skeleton came out. He was wearing a Daoist robe and a Dharma crown. His skeleton was very big and stretched out the robe. From afar, he looked like a paper man that had been cut. He bowed and said, "Daoist Sima, are you here? Gai Su of the Bone Sect is here."
After a while, a black smoke came out of the cauldron and turned into a yellow-robed Daoist. He stared at him for a moment and said, "Zhenren Gai?"
Gai Su bowed and said, "Yes, it is me."
Sima Quan snorted and said, "I thought you would come back after a few days. I didn't expect you to be so impatient."
Zhenren Gai ignored his sarcasm and said, "I was asked by the Zhenrens of the various sects to come here and ask, what is your intention?"
"Ask me what I want to do?"
Sima Quan laughed coldly and pointed at the six cauldrons. He said, "I want to set up another sect in the void beyond this sky, called the Dark Yin Sky Palace. No matter if it is Mystic or Demonic Sect, as long as they are willing to join my sect, they can call me by my name. I can then bring them here and teach them the Art of Immortality and supernatural powers."
Gai Su was shocked and said, "You want to set up a sect here?"
Sima Quan looked over and said, "Why not?"
His previous experiences had already told him that there was a way out by compromising. Instead of hiding, it was better to be forceful.
He had a fateful encounter beyond the sky. Not only did his mana recover, but he also learned many supernatural powers and Daoist techniques. For example, the Six Yin Poisonous Bug that he sent to the Donghua Continent was one of them. Combined with the Phase Reversal Technique, he could collect the spiritual opportunity of the nine continents.
The few Elemental Yuan Palace Cauldrons that he obtained from beyond the sky were enough to build the prototype of a palace. With this as the foundation to accept disciples, it would not be difficult to set up a sect.
As a Heavenly Demon, he naturally did not do this to set up a sect, but to put on a skin so that he could openly share the spiritual opportunity of the world with the various Grotto-Heavens. When this message was sent out, as long as the various sects did not want to fight him to the death, they would likely tacitly agree. When he achieved great success and became a Genyin Demon, there would be no need to be afraid.
However, if Zhu Zhen insisted on fighting him, he was not afraid. With the Six Yin Poisonous Bug in the Donghua Devil's Cave to provide spiritual opportunity for him, he did not believe that anyone could outlast him outside the Virtual Sky. After winning a few times, he would naturally achieve his goal.
