Sima Quan left the Wu couple and headed back to where the six cauldrons were. However, when he reached the palace gate, he saw many demons flying around one of the cauldrons. He didn't find it strange.
Hence, he casually grabbed a demon and pressed it into his chest. This demon was originally the manifestation of the demonic aura on his body. Once it returned to his body, everything he saw and felt immediately appeared in front of him. It was as if he had experienced it himself. Hence, he knew immediately that this was because of the sudden change of spiritual vigor in the palace, which alarmed these demons.
He thought for a while and walked to the back of the palace. He arrived in front of a bronze pavilion. Looking down, it was empty. The jade stone that was originally placed there was nowhere to be seen.
He thought to himself, "This is definitely not the work of a disciple of the palace. Just Now, other than the people from Yuan Yang Sect, no one else has come here. They must have taken it away when I was not on guard. That treasure contained pure Spiritual Qi. I originally thought it was just a Pill Jade, but now it seems like it's not that simple."
Other than the cauldron that he destroyed, there was one left in each of the cauldrons. He didn't think much of it before, but after this incident, he had to take it seriously. However, he couldn't make up his mind on how to make use of it.
After thinking for a while, he decided to recover the Fa Li that he had lost in the battle.
He turned around and sat down in the inner palace. He took out a spell and a stone door fell down from above, closing the room.
He rummaged around in his sleeves and took out a pair of shiny black sunglasses, but the color was a little lighter than before.
He flipped the mirror around and waved it with its back facing him. In an instant, there was a whistling sound as thousands of doppelgangers rushed out and merged with him one by one.
After the Demon Qi recovered, he turned the mirror around. He shook it a little and golden beads appeared. He continued to refine it. The golden beads gradually dimmed and turned into strands of golden Qi that floated out of the mirror. After a long time, the surface of the mirror returned to its original pitch black state.
This magical treasure could take in the elements of thunder, fire, wind, and water, and even the poison, fire, and gale. However, after it was full, the surface of the mirror would turn from black to white. At that time, it would reach its limit and would not be able to hold any more external Qi. It would need to use its own power to refine it.
Because this move consumed a lot of magic power, he would only use this treasure in a battle, but he would not normally take it out.
After putting it away, he took out a pigeon egg-sized black bead and tossed it up, causing it to hover half a foot above his head. With a thought, a streak of grey energy shone down from the bead. It trapped him inside.
With the help of this item, he only needed thirty days to recover the demonic energy that he had lost during the battle with Wu Zhenren. However, the black pearl was slightly smaller than before.
After he woke up from his meditation, he carefully put it away.
Regardless of whether it was the black mirror or the black bead, they were both fortuitous encounters that he had found outside the Void Sky. It was also with these two items that he was able to refine his broken devil body back.
At that moment, he waved his hand. A ray of white light flashed, and Zuo Daolian was released from within it.
This treasure was damaged by the sword light from the Dayuan Sword of Righteousness, so it looked a little dim. However, it could change its form, and it could even be summoned from the soul of a virtuous cultivator. It was very convenient to use, and if there was a chance to kill another Enlightened Master in the future, its power could be increased. Thus, he would rather use up his magic power to refine it back to its original state.
His gaze focused on it, he opened his mouth and swallowed the white lotus into his stomach, carefully nurturing it.
Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
During this period of time. The news that the Demon Cave was being possessed by the Demon Insects gradually spread out.
This wasn't because Zhang Yan had people spread it on purpose. It was because there were too many Demon Insects and it was hard to kill them all. Moreover, the Xuan Sect had spies in the Demon Sect. As time went on, the news couldn't be hidden anymore.
However, because of this, the people in the Xuan Sect were even more unwilling to make a move. They hoped that if they endured, they would be able to force the Demon Sect to make a move first and kill the Sky Demon. The Demon Sect wasn't willing to become someone else's weapon. After all, the Dao had disappeared and the Demon Sect had risen, but they didn't believe that the Xuan Sect could continue to drag it out.
This unknowingly benefited Sima Quan, allowing him to roam the world for two more years. Using the Spiritual Opportunity that he stole from the Donghua Continent, his strength increased a lot.
As for the Dark Yin Sky Palace that he established, it accepted many more disciples in these two years. It looked like it was about to gain a foothold in the world beyond.
Above the East Sea, Fang Shin An was riding on a sparrow eagle, flying towards a nameless island.
A year ago, he had Just Now heard that Huang Yugong had died after fighting with Zhang Yan. When he found out about this, he instantly became despondent.
Ever since he entered the path of Dao, Huang Yugong had taken care of him. Among all the disciples, he was the only one who received special treatment.
It could be said that he could achieve what he had today all because of the nurturing of his teacher.
At that time, after he calmed down, he wanted to return to the sect to pay his respects. Who knew that on the way back, Nan Hua had already expelled him for violating the sect's rules.
At that time, he was still not satisfied and sent a few letters to Feng Chengchang and the others. Who knew that all of them were like stones thrown into the sea, and there was no reply.
Not only that, but because of this, he exposed himself and attracted many Nan Hua disciples to come out and capture him.
He had many good things with him that Huang Yugong had given him, especially the green phoenix egg. Once it was cultivated, it would have the ability to fight against Yuanying cultivators, so it attracted many covetous eyes from his original sect.
For more than two years, he had to hide here and there. He had joined a few small sects, but every time, he would be found by Nan Hua disciples, so he could only hide in the deep mountains.
However, even though he was talented and had superior skills, he couldn't get external medicine out of thin air. Originally, he could improve by leaps and bounds because of the sect's support. Now, he had to rely on himself, so his improvement was very slow. In these two years, other than a slight increase in his magic power, his cultivation didn't improve much.
If this continued, he would definitely be left far behind by his fellow sect members who he had looked down on. He was unwilling to accept this, and he had had enough of hiding everywhere. Thus, after careful consideration, he decided to go to the Heavenly Palace of Mystic Yin to seek shelter.
However, in the beginning, Sima Quan wanted to win people's hearts, so he personally used his magic power to bring everyone to heaven. Later, when there were more sects, this matter was handed over to the disciples who had entered first, and he no longer asked about it.
If the Dong Hua cultivators wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace, they had to chant Sima Quan's honorific name. However, if they went to the Little Devil Cave to receive a demon into their body, it would guide them to where they should go and wait. If they had any strange thoughts along the way, the demon would naturally eat away their souls.
However, these places were mostly guarded and suppressed by the Daoist Sect disciples, so it was not easy to find them.
Fang Shin An, the demon, used the remaining spirit shells he had on him to buy them from a wandering cultivator of the Demon Sect. Only then did he avoid a lot of trouble.
After traveling in the sky for three days, he saw a dense forest island on the ocean. He sensed that his opportunity had landed here, so he descended from the sky.
Halfway there, he was in a daze. It turned out that he had passed through a layer of illusions.
When he put away the sparrowhawk and landed on the ground, he realized that he was in a col. On the ground, there was a platform made of bricks. There were four stone pillars at the four corners, and there were thirty-six mats on the platform. They were quite far apart, and there were already more than ten people sitting there. Everyone's gazes shifted over, and the few people nearby all greeted him.
He cupped his hands as a greeting and went up to occupy a mat. Like the others, he didn't speak, just meditating and adjusting his breathing.
After waiting for a day, many more people came one after another until all the seats were filled. Suddenly, the four stone pillars shook, and a layer of black smoke wrapped around them and charged into the sky.
Everyone waited for a few hours before they saw a flying boat break through the clouds and fly down. When it reached the sky above the island, a Daoist with long hair appeared. He looked down and said, "Those who want to enter the Heaven Palace can come on my boat. You can come on my Sky Boat. If you regret it, you can leave. But what happened today cannot be spread. If not, the demon in your body will take your life. "
None of the people below retreated, and all of them leaped up. They all headed towards the boat.
After everyone landed on the boat, the Daoist with long hair tossed down many talismans and said, "My name is Lu An Du. Keep these talismans well. If not, don't blame me for not being able to enter the Heaven Palace."
No one dared to be careless, and they all carefully took them into their hands.
Lu An Du said, "This trip to the Heaven Palace is different from when we came. It will take three days. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." As he said that, he turned around and entered the cabin.
When everyone saw him leave, they all relaxed. Now that they were all from the same sect, they all greeted each other.
Fang Shin An walked to the side of the boat alone and looked at the surging seawater below. Mount Donghua was getting further and further away from his home. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed, but his heart was unprecedentedly relaxed.
At this moment, a cultivator walked to Fang Shin An's side and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Qu Lian Gong, a disciple of the Eastern Sea's Du Chen Sect. Because I had no hope of making a name for myself in the sect and was ostracized by my fellow disciples, I came to try my luck beyond the heavens. Looking at this Daoist brother's aura, I guess you are also cultivating under Daoist Xuanmen. May I know how I should address you?"
Fang Shin An was very careful. He gave a fake name of Fang Hui and didn't say anything else.
The person didn't ask about his background and only said, "Daoist brother Fang, I heard that the battles in the Heaven Palace are fierce. Since the 36 of us went to the Heaven Palace together, we are in the same boat. From now on, we can only protect each other."
Fang Xinan agreed with this point. In the past, he had been too arrogant and had offended people everywhere. In the end, there was no one in the sect who would speak up for him. Instead, most of them came to kick him when he was down. Since he had joined the Extraterrestrial Demon Palace, he could only rely on his fellow sect members.
At this moment, another person came forward. He also seemed to be from Daoist Xuanmen. He bowed to the two and said excitedly, "Rumor has it that there is a technique that leads directly to the Great Dao in the Heaven Palace of Mystical Yin. If you cultivate the technique of the Heaven Palace of Mystical Yin, it doesn't matter which sect you cultivated before, or if your talent is good or not. I have been longing for the technique of immortality all my life, but I couldn't get it. In order to get a glimpse of the Great Dao, I am willing to become a demon."
Fang Shin An's mouth twitched. He didn't think much of the so-called divine techniques in the Heaven Palace of Mystical Yin.
The Nan Hua technique was a superior technique of Daoist Xuanmen. Huang Yu Gong had passed down the secret technique of the sect. He was confident that with his talent, as long as he didn't lack external medicine, he could practice it step by step. He didn't dare to think about the Cave, but Yuanying was not an extravagant hope.
The reason why he joined the Demon Palace was to find a place to cultivate that could protect him. It was also convenient to find external medicine. As long as he could cultivate Yuanying, he wouldn't be afraid of people looking for trouble. He could even be like Tao Zhenhong and establish his own sect overseas.
The Heaven Ship kept moving forward. After half a day, it broke through the clouds in the Nine Heavens. In another two days, it would reach the palace cauldron. At this time, a gust of black smoke spewed out from the palace. In an instant, it spread over everyone and wrapped them up. Fang Shin An felt the talisman on his body tremble slightly, as if it was protecting him. He knew that Lu Andu's words were true, so he tightened his grip on it.
After a while, when the black smoke dissipated, they looked around and found that they were standing in a large hall. On the high platform in front of them, there was a Daoist with a cold expression and pale skin.
Lu Andu turned around and said in a low voice, "That is Third Senior Brother Yu Shao. I heard that there are two senior sisters up there, but I have never seen them in the palace. In private, you can call him Eldest Senior Brother to avoid offending him."
After giving his instructions, he led everyone forward and bowed.
After Yu Shao accepted everyone's bow, he waved his hand and put away all the demons that everyone had inserted into their bodies. He said in a clear voice, "Since you've entered the Heavenly Palace, you're all from the same sect. There's no need to use this."
Everyone was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. Although they volunteered to join the Devil Palace, after all, no one wanted a demon to occupy their body all day long.
Yu Shao said proudly, "I have a divine talisman bestowed by the Palace Master. Those who need it can take it. After refining it, you can use it to refine demons and insects. One can be used to fight against enemies, and the other can be used to absorb spiritual opportunity. If you're not willing, it's fine. However, you have to return to Dong Hua once a month to collect external medicine and precious materials from the lower sects."
Sima Quan's Six Yin Demon Insects did not harm the disciples of the six major demon sects much, but they were not so polite to the smaller sects. Every month, they had to force them to hand over their offerings. Those sects had no choice but to submit. Fortunately, he did not ask for much, so they could endure it.
When Fang Shin An heard this, he immediately decided to accept this task. Although he would have to run back and forth, it would also prevent the Devil Talisman from entering his body. Even though he knew that the Devil Palace had other ways to control him, it was better than dealing with them all day long.
At this moment, in the Azure Sky Hall, Zhang Yan sat on a cattail hassock. His eyes flickered as he watched the Sky Ship fly into the Palace Cauldron Just Now.
Ever since he saw Wu Zhenren and Sima Quan fight, he had not been idle for the past two years. Instead, he had been deducing a Demon Subduing Divine Art. Just Now, he had succeeded a month ago. After testing it for dozens of days, he could already use it freely.
He looked out into the void and used his mana to suppress the throbbing of the Demon Subduing Bamboo. He thought to himself, "I originally planned to complete this technique in three years before looking for Sima Quan. However, now that it's completed in two years, there's no need to wait any longer. The arrangements in the South Sea have already taken up a lot of time. After reporting to the Sect Master, I can go and settle this matter."
