After Zhang Yan sent out his two disciples, he made all the necessary arrangements. Naturally, he went into seclusion to recover the Fa Li that he had used up in the battle.
After meditating for a day and a night, he had completely recovered.
However, he was a little surprised. Although he didn't use much Fa Li in the battle with Sima Quan, his recovery speed was much faster than he had expected. At his level of cultivation, he knew his own situation like the back of his hand. He shouldn't have made any mistakes.
Thinking back, when he was meditating Just Now, there seemed to be an indescribable Qi circulating around him, which caused his cultivation speed to increase slightly.
Thus, after some investigation, he discovered that the reason was actually due to the Origin Essence Stone that he had obtained from Sima Quan.
He originally intended to investigate this item, so he stretched out his hand and took out a jade book out of thin air, and he placed it in front of him.
This was the "Tongxuan Jade Book" of the Floating Heavenly Palace. Before the Dongtian of the Floating Heavenly Palace turned around, he or she would drip a drop of his or her blood on it. This way, all the secrets that he or she had seen, his or her understanding of martial arts could be recorded in it for future generations to study.
In the past, only the Third Hall Master could read this book. However, the calamity was approaching, so the Sect Leader relaxed the restriction, allowing the people of the Heavenly Abode to ask any questions they had.
However, other than the Third Hall Master who could read it from time to time, the rest of the Enlightened could only use it once every hundred days.
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed a wisp of Qi from the Origin Essence Stone. He placed it into the jade slip. However, after the brilliance on the jade slip flashed, the jade slip was actually blank, without a single word or two.
He couldn't help but feel moved. There were no words on the book, which meant that none of the Heavenly Abodes recognized this item. Since this item was indeed useful to him, its value might far exceed what he had previously thought.
Only now did he become interested in this jade stone. After thinking about it seriously for a while, he waved his sleeves and sent the jade book back. At the same time, he made a hand sign and after a while, the array door above the sky opened. A ray of green light brought a jade scroll down. This was also the 'Tong Xuan Jade Scroll'. Its usage was the same as the scroll Just Now had, but the person who remembered it was very different. All of the words on it were left behind by the previous ascended Zhenren of the sect.
Because there were even records left behind by the Grand Underworld Founding Ancestor, so its value was extraordinary. In the past, only the Sect Leader had the right to look at it. Even the Palace Master of Du Zhen and Palace Master of Tian Kong could only look at it after reaching the third stage of the Elephant Phase Realm.
This time, it was also because of the great tribulation. Sect Leader Qin loosened the restrictions and allowed him and Huo Xuan to borrow it once every hundred years.
After Zhang Yan opened it, a bright light shone out from inside. He directed it with his mind, and after a while, lines of words appeared on it.
He looked at it with rapt attention. His eyes flickered as he thought to himself, "There's actually such a thing in this world."
This time, he flipped through the book. Although he gave up a chance to look at it once every hundred years, he felt that it was worth it.
This item was called the 'Essence Stone of No Aperture'. It should have been refined by ancient cultivators using the essence of heaven and earth. It could be used to protect one's body. Even if one went to the Desolate Domain or the void beyond the heavens, one could still use it to recover spiritual energy. It could also be used to recover spiritual energy.
However, these weren't the main points. There was actually a strand of pure spiritual energy stored within it.
In ancient times, this place was full of spiritual energy and was bathed in pure spiritual energy. After billions of years of accumulation. It would then produce such pure purple energy.
Legend had it that after this energy was produced, it didn't gather in one place. Instead, it would scatter. Only those with profound spiritual energy could capture it bit by bit.
In ancient times, the West Continent was able to accommodate many mortal molting cultivators because there was a lot of this energy.
Later on, due to the passive nature of the earth, since the creation of heaven and earth, the great momentum that had been flowing forward was broken. This energy was either taken by someone or dissipated between heaven and earth. If one wanted to accumulate it again, they would have to wait for billions of years.
However, it had only been ten thousand years since the West Continent's cultivators migrated east. Once the people of the Grotto-heaven achieved mortal molting, if they didn't find a way to break through the world and ascend, without this energy to replenish their spiritual energy, they would be trapped in this world until they died.
Zhang Yan guessed that the pure purple spiritual energy left in the Essence Stone was refined by a powerful cultivator. However, he didn't know what happened, causing him to not have the time to use it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been left in the world.
If this energy was used for cultivation, it would be of great benefit to a Grotto-heaven cultivator like him. His cultivation progress would be much faster than before.
With the tribulation ahead, if he could increase his strength earlier, he would have a higher chance of passing it.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene outside the Grotto-heaven. He suddenly had a thought and thought, "Could it be that Yuan Yang sent people to the palace cauldron to find this thing? If it was really for this Essence Stone, it would be worth Yuan Yang Sect Leader's protection. I wonder if he got it. If he didn't, then it's fine. If he stole it, then it's very likely that there is more than one. "
However, he had already sent disciples to the Grotto-heaven to clean up the palace cauldrons. Everything would be clear when he came back.
Thinking about this, he didn't think too much about it. He sat up straight and looked at the Nine Demon Vanquishing Scroll.
He wanted to know what would happen after it absorbed the Heavenly Demon Essence Qi.
After looking at it, he saw that the outside of the object was wrapped in a cloud of smoke, as if something was happening. When he thought about it, he immediately felt a sense of joy surging up, and he instantly understood the reason.
He was slightly surprised and then smiled. "I was wondering why you were so happy when you saw the Heavenly Demon. So it was because of your own opportunity."
As his cultivation progressed, the amount of Essence Qi that could be stored in the Demon Vanquishing Scroll had reached its limit. Thus, he was looking for a chance to change. This time, the Heavenly Demon could help him, which was why he jumped several times.
However, it was Zhang Yan's first time seeing an item that could be used to cleanse a treasure embryo without being refined by others. Even in the scriptures that he had read in the past, there were no records of it. Thus, he pondered in his heart. He wanted to see what kind of changes it would have after it was perfected.
At the same time, Fu Baoxing and Wang Caiwei took the flying raft and brought the disciples to the Grotto-heaven. After flying out of the nine continents, they didn't fly far. A female disciple suddenly pointed and said, "Teacher, there seems to be something over there."
Wang Caiwei turned around, but there was nothing. She didn't see anything.
She knew that her disciple wouldn't speak carelessly. She took out a spell and went into the Killer Yin Blade. They flew to the sky.
After flying for a few dozen miles, they realized that they seemed to have passed through a layer of fog. Then, they saw a huge palace cauldron floating in front of them. It circled outside before returning to the flying raft and said to the female disciple, "Ning 'er, you did well. I didn't expect there to be a palace cauldron hidden here. You've done a great service this time. "
Ning 'er blushed a little when she was praised. She was a little embarrassed, but there was a hint of pride in her expression.
Fu Baoxing looked at her cultivation. She was only at the second level of Core Transformation. He said, "Senior Sister's disciple seems to be born with sharp senses. She can even detect the hidden palace cauldron. This kind of talent is rare. "
Wang Caiwei said, "When Ning 'er was cultivating, she accidentally obtained a treasure. With its help, not only is her sense not inferior to ours, but she also has abilities that ordinary people don't have."
Fu Baoxing said, "So that's how it is. Since we're ordered to clean up the disciples of the Dark Yin Heavenly Palace, we can't let this place go."
Wang Caiwei nodded and said, "I think so too." She raised her head and said, "Reverend Moon Ferry, please turn here."
A cold voice was heard. "Understood."
The flying raft's true spirit was originally very unwilling to carry these juniors, but it was forced by Zhang Yan's power. It did not dare to disobey, but if no special attention was paid to it, it would do things on its own and would not care about the others.
The flying raft turned around and approached the cauldron palace. Soon, it was within a few miles of the cauldron palace. As if it had passed through a layer of barrier, its true appearance was slowly revealed. However, there was no movement inside.
It was the first time some of the disciples on the boat followed their masters out. Many of them were indescribably excited. They saw that they were getting closer and closer to the cauldron. Many of them looked nervous as well.
Out of caution, Wang Caiwei took out a talisman. This talisman was given to her by Zhang Yan, and it could be used to find out the general situation of the place they were going to.
After chanting an incantation, she threw it forward. The talisman instantly turned into a beam of light and swept across the cauldron. After circling it once, it turned back.
She reached out and caught it. After checking it, she relaxed slightly. The strength of the cauldron palace was much weaker than they had imagined.
Probably because the disciples here came from the surface, there were all kinds of cultivators, especially those in the Mystic Light Realm and Clear Qi Realm. The Core Transformation Realm was second, and there was only one Yuanying cultivator.
After all, once one reached the Yuanying realm, one would be an elder of a sect. No matter what, the sect would not treat them too badly. They could be worshipers wherever they went. Apart from a few eccentric cultivators or those who were hiding from their enemies, there were very few who wandered outside.
As for those who cultivated dharma bodies, it was even more impossible for them to be here.
On Wang Caiwei's side, other than Fu Baoxing, there were also Yuan Yanhui and Weng Zhiyuan. All of them were at the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which was enough to suppress the other party.
She waited for the flying raft palace cauldron to stop horizontally before saying to Fu Baoxing, "Junior Brother, please guard this place in case the Devil Sect has any ill intentions."
Fu Baoxing said calmly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I'll take care of everything here."
At that moment, the voice of the True Spirit of Du Yue was heard, and it seemed to be dissatisfied, "Do you think that a few demons can control my treasure raft body?"
Wang Caiwei smiled and did not argue with her. She took out a small seal and waved it downward. Everyone here was covered with a layer of treasure light, which was to prevent them from being hurt by the poisonous fire and strong qi. After putting the seal away, she said, "Disciples, follow me."
She was the first to jump down, and the disciples followed behind her. Weng and Yuan Yanhui guarded the sides of the cauldron. Hundreds of light rays flew into the cauldron.
However, when they arrived inside, there was no one in the hall. It was obvious that the disciples here knew that they were here and hid.
However, before they could do anything, they heard whistling sounds. Many demons came from both sides of the hall.
Wang Caiwei said, "Disciples, listen up. These demons can pollute the Spiritual Vigor of treasures. Be careful and don't be careless."
The disciples took out their magic tools and attacked the demons. However, since Sima Quan was dead, the demons' strength was greatly reduced, so it was not difficult to deal with them. Therefore, Wang Caiwei and the others did not attack. They only looked around and guarded against the Perfected Yuanying who was hiding in the dark.
After fighting for less than an hour, the disciples finally wiped out all the demons. However, with the exception of a few people, most of them had pained expressions. That was because during the battle, the magic tools had been contaminated by the demonic energy and some had been destroyed on the spot.
However, even at this moment, not a single disciple of the palace appeared.
Wang Caiwei could not help but frown. After discussing with Yuan Yanhui and Weng for a while, they each led a group of disciples and searched around.
At this moment, outside, Fu Baoxing, who was standing on the flying raft, suddenly felt something. He looked over and saw a Sky Ship flying out from the back of the palace cauldron, silently escaping in the direction of the Nine Continents.
After watching for a while, he used his mana to condense a Talisman and sent it into the Cauldron Palace. After a while, rays of light flew out and returned to the flying raft, then chased after the Sky Ship.
Soon, the two rays of light went far away. However, on the other side of the Cauldron Palace, another Sky Ship flew out. There were dozens of people standing on the deck, and the person in the lead was a Daoist with long hair who had the cultivation of Yuanying.
Someone at the side praised, "Senior Brother Lu is smart. First, you used the demons to stop the enemy, then you released a Sky Ship to the Nine Continents. Those Daoist disciples must think that we are all on the ship, but they don't know that it is just an empty ship. They won't think that we are still hiding here. By the time they realize that something is wrong and come back, we will have already escaped."
Seeing that his plan was successful, Daoist Lu was secretly proud of himself, but he did not lose his cool. He said, "We are not completely out of danger yet. The flying objects that those Daoist disciples are using are probably real treasures. It won't take them long to catch up with the Sky Ship. We should leave quickly and hide in the palace cauldron where Senior Brother Shi is."
Everyone agreed. They thought that they were going to die for sure, but they did not expect the road to turn around. They all wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Daoist Lu did not say anything else. He steered the Sky Ship with all his might and headed in one direction.
However, he did not realize that there was a blade light hidden in the void, following closely behind the Sky Ship.
After three days, Wang Caiwei, who had been chasing behind, felt that something was wrong.
She wanted to use the Sky Ship to find the next palace cauldron, but she underestimated the power of the Heavenly Poison Fire and Strong Wind. If she went for a few more days, the spirituality of the Yin Killer Blade might be damaged. Therefore, she decided to board the Sky Ship first and subdue them. Then, she would try to interrogate them about the whereabouts of the other palace cauldrons.
After she made up her mind, she suddenly sped up and used the blade light to tear open the protective barrier of the Sky Ship. Then, she rushed in.
The people on the Sky Ship were shocked to see that someone could break into the Sky Ship from outside.
Lu Andu was also shocked, but he could still maintain his composure. He shouted, "Who is it?"
Wang Caiwei retracted her traveling light and landed on the ship's railing. The Yin Killer Saber turned into a beam of spiritual light and circled around her, causing her skirt to flutter. The three balls of High Cloud above her suddenly turned into black gas and then white smoke. She cast her gaze down and said, "Wang Caiwei of Zhao You Sect."
