The young man and woman soon arrived at the shore of Spirit Page Island. However, once they arrived, they felt a gust of hot air hitting them in the face. After a while, both of them were drenched in sweat. The young man was speechless, "This place is so hot." "Tsk, tsk."
The young girl's face was also flushed. She asked curiously, "Doesn't Celestial Master feel uncomfortable living here?"
The young man chuckled and said, "Since he's an Celestial Master, why would he be afraid of this heat? When your Senior Brother's cultivation level increases in the future, it won't be a problem. "
The young girl pouted and said, "Senior Brother, you're bragging again." She then looked at the island full of ancient trees and said worriedly, "This island is so big, where can we find that Celestial Master?"
The young man was exhausted. However, after reaching the shore, he did not forget to drag the small boat up. Then, he spread his arms and legs and plopped on the beach. He panted and said, "Ah, I'm so tired. Junior Sister, I'll rest for a while and go up the mountain to look for Celestial Master later."
The young girl was puzzled and said, "Senior Brother, since you've already opened your meridians, why don't you use spiritual opportunity to recover?"
The young man waved his hand weakly and said, "Just Now, I've already tried. This island's malevolent aura is extremely strong and will consume spiritual opportunity. There's no way to regulate one's breathing."
The young girl acknowledged and her eyes lit up. She said, "Senior Brother, rest well. I'll protect you. Even if there are tigers, wolves, and poisonous insects, I'll help you deal with them."
The young man said weakly, "Thank you, Junior Sister." As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept very soundly. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. He looked around and did not know whether to laugh or cry. His Junior Sister was also hugging her knees and sleeping soundly.
It was already nighttime. However, the volcanoes here erupted all year round. In addition to the spiritual opportunity fluctuations, the island was wrapped in a golden-red flame. It looked very magnificent.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a ray of light flying away in the sky. It was as graceful as a dragon and unusually agile. After circling one round, it finally flew into a cliff.
Although it only took a few breaths, he felt that it was extraordinary. However, he could sense the extraordinariness of it. He could not help but widen his eyes and shout, "Sword Immortal!"
The young man suddenly felt that if he didn't go over now, then he would very likely miss the opportunity. He subconsciously ran a few steps, and suddenly remembered that it was inappropriate to leave his Junior Sister here, so he hurriedly turned around and woke her up.
The girl was still drowsy and confused. As if he didn't want to wake up for a while, he didn't explain anything. After saying that, he sprinted in the direction of the rainbow.
Although the vegetation here was dense and thorny, he was already at the Meridian Opening stage and could be considered a Daoist. In addition, his heart was filled with the desire to seek Dao. However, he had opened up a path from the inside.
After walking for more than an hour, they finally found a flight of stairs in the depths of the forest. It looked like it could lead to the top of the cliff. He climbed up excitedly and soon reached the waist of the mountain. He drilled out from a small path and turned a corner. He found himself on a platform that was several acres in size.
This place was spacious. If one looked down from here, they could see the scenery below the island. However, if one raised their head and looked up, they would see a row of stone stairs sticking close to the cliff. There were no supports at the bottom. They were inserted into the hard rock in the air. The lengths of the stairs were uneven, the longest was not more than half a foot, and the shortest was not more than the width of a palm. There were even a few places with only gaps. Just looking at them would make one tremble in fear.
This path extended diagonally upwards, and at the end was a cave covered by vines. Rays of light shone out from inside.
When the young man saw this, he was extremely excited. He knew that he had found the right place. He kowtowed on the platform and said, "Disciple Cui Xianping, under the orders of my master, has come to learn the Flying Sword Technique."
After a while, a voice came from above, "Who is your master?"
Cui Xianping touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Master never says his real name. Usually, it is only me and my Junior Sister who cultivates. He also doesn't allow me to meet outsiders, so I can't find out what his name is."
That voice said again, "If you want to see me, you can come to the cave."
Cui Xianping took a look. To enter the cave, he had to go up the stone stairs. Even though he had opened his meridians, if he fell from such a high place, he would definitely die. However, he did not retreat. He took a deep breath and went up to test his feet. Seeing that he could stand firmly, he slowly moved along the cliff.
However, he quickly noticed that something was wrong. It clearly looked like a short path, but it was enveloped in a layer of mist. After walking for a few hours, he actually still hadn't arrived before the abode. He couldn't help but shout, "Senior, are you still there?"
That voice said, "What, are you going to give up? If so, I can send you down. "
Cui Xianping let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Disciple is just afraid that Senior can't wait to leave."
There was no more sound from above.
Cui Xianping chuckled and started to move up step by step.
After walking for three days and three nights, the fog in front of him that blocked his vision finally dispersed. His eyes couldn't help but light up. Even though he didn't have much strength left, he still gritted his teeth and held on for the last part of the road. When he reached the door of the cave, he finally fell to the ground and fainted.
Zhang Yan's clone sat in the cave and looked over. He subconsciously nodded his head.
The stone stairs outside were made by him using mana. Even though this path couldn't compare to Shaoqing Sect's Heart Refining Chain, he could use it to see what kind of will Shen Baishuang's disciple was and how much he could bear.
He stretched out a finger and a streak of mana landed on the youth's brow.
Cui Xianping seemed to be doused with cold water. He unconsciously shivered and climbed up from where he was. He raised his head and saw a young Daoist sitting on a praying mat. The Daoist's eyes were extremely deep. He instantly became extremely happy and knelt down, "Greetings, Celestial Master."
Zhang Yan's clone grunted and said, "Since you're here to learn the sword, do you have a sword pellet with you?"
Cui Xianping said excitedly, "Yes, my master heard that I wanted to learn the sword, so he specially found one for me."
The clone said, "Take it out and let me see."
Cui Xianping carefully took out a lead white sword pellet. He lightly used mana and it flew up and hung above his head. But that was all he could do. If he tried to control it again, it would immediately fall.
The clone said, "Yes, this is made from ordinary lead gold. Even though it's not a real sword pellet, it's enough for you now."
Cui Xianping said, "Yes, my master also said that I can't use a real sword pellet right now. He said that after I truly learn the skill, I can make another one for me.
The clone thought to himself, "Zhenren Shen really values this disciple. But isn't it too much to nurture him like this? "
He thought about it again and vaguely guessed some of the reasons.
Maybe it was because the calamity was coming and Shen Baishuang was not sure if his family could survive the war, so he was anxious to find someone who could inherit his family's orthodoxy.
And even if this flying sword technique was not practiced to a high level, at least he would not fall behind others in the art of escape. He had really put in a lot of effort to plan for his disciple like this.
The clone saw that Cui Xianping was looking at him eagerly and said, "I will guide you here for three years. Once the three years are up, no matter how much you learn, I will send you down the mountain."
Cui Xianping's expression turned solemn and he bowed, "Yes, I will try my best to learn."
The clone stretched out his hand and pointed. Many figures appeared on the cave wall. It seemed like they were all controlling the flying sword. Below them, there were incantations and spiritual vigor.
He said, "Take a look at these methods first. When you are familiar with them, let me know. I will catch a demon to fight with you and see how well you learn."
"Slay demons?" Cui Xianping was not afraid after hearing it. Instead, he was excited and kowtowed again. He hurriedly ran to the stone wall and sat down. Suddenly, he exclaimed and said anxiously, "Senior, my junior sister is still at the bottom of the mountain."
The clone said, "Since she came to my island, I will give her some opportunities. You don't have to worry."
Only then did Cui Xianping relax. Instead, he devoted all his attention to studying the cultivation method.
Zhang Yan's clone was here teaching the flying sword technique. On the other hand, the original body sat in the hall for ten consecutive days, deducing the High Sky Thunder again. However, the flaw was still not completely solved. Fortunately, there was a clue now, and he estimated that he would need a few more years to perfect it.
He thought that the incident on the sea had happened for a long time. It was time to give Tao Zhenren and the rest a reply. Thus, he flicked his finger and a rainbow flew out. He then summoned the true spirit and asked, "How is the Abyss Toad called 'Yu Zu'?"
The formation spirit found it funny and said, "With the nourishment from the spiritual opportunity in the Xuanze Sea, Yu Zu's vitality has recovered. However, he is very dishonest. He always pretends to be weak and half-dead because he is afraid that Old Master will call him to do something to die."
Zhang Yan said indifferently, "That's not up to it. Find two Inky Flood Dragons and send Yu Zu to Tao Zhenren. He doesn't have to worry about him. He is from the South Flower Sect and naturally knows how to deal with this kind of mutant. "
The formation spirit said yes.
Zhang Yan looked around and saw that there was still a round stone with the Abyss Toad hidden on the table. He thought that others couldn't use it, but it didn't mean that Tao Zhenren couldn't use it. It was useless for him to keep it, so he might as well send it along. Thus, he said, "Bring this one too."
The formation spirit went forward and put the round stone into his sleeve. Seeing that he had nothing else to say, he bowed and went to arrange this matter.
In the small world of East Sea, Tao Zhenren sensed the unusual movement of the realm gate. He looked around and saw a rainbow flying in and landing on the only altar here.
He got up from his seat and after a few glances, he said to the boy standing beside him, "Zhenren Zhang has replied. Go and invite the two Zhenrens over."
The boy bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Ancestral Master."
A moment later, two streams of clear Qi flew over and landed at the same time. It was Li Xiumi and Mi Xiunan.
After greeting the two, Tao Zhenren walked to the altar together.
He stopped in front of one of the jade discs and swept it with his horsetail whisk. Light floated on it, and after a few breaths of time, Zhang Yan's figure appeared. This time, his magic power was very stable, and the jade discs did not tremble at all.
When the three saw him, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Zhenren Zhang."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I'm here today for the unfinished discussion last time."
Tao Zhenren said, "Has Zhenren Zhang found the method to break the formation?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I went to North Sea a few days ago and found two Abyss Toads. One of them doesn't have much vitality left, but fortunately, there's still one that can be used. If it's used properly, it can help the three of you to break the formation in South Sea."
Tao Zhenren also showed a hint of surprise and said, "Abyss Toad? I didn't expect such a species to still exist in this world. Not bad, this demon is indeed a powerful weapon to break formations. "
Zhang Yan said, "I've already ordered people to send this demon to East Sea. Next, we can act according to the plan we discussed last time. As for how to do it, I won't ask too much."
At this point, he looked at the three and said, "May I know what else the three of you need?"
Tao Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "That Wu Ruyang is not like Zhou Ruying and the other two. If they sense something is wrong, it's very likely that they will come out to fight me personally. This person has a real treasure and his cultivation is profound. Even if the three of us fight him together, we may not be able to defeat him. We can only think of another way. I know that Zhenren Zhang is good at making talismans. Among them, sword talismans are very powerful. I wonder if you can give us a few?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This is easy. Apart from that, is there anything else that we lack?
Li Xiumi said, "This time, we have to set up two Matrix Discs. The treasured materials and Spiritual Medicine are many times more than before. Moreover, Yu Xiao might destroy the setup. From the looks of it, the storage might not be enough."
Although setting up a big formation in the east of South Cliffs Continent was a fake attack, if it was not real enough, it would be difficult to deceive Yuxiao. So, it was used as a real formation board.
However, this time, Yuxiao was on guard. Things might not be as smooth as the last time. It was not impossible to be forced to give up halfway. Although this might not happen, he thought that it was better to plan first so that he would not have to think of a solution when it came to the critical moment.
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I will inform the sect. As long as we can restrain Yuxiao, not to mention two formation boards, ten or even a hundred would be worth it."
He came down and said a few more words to the three of them. Seeing that there was no need for him to deal with it, he left.
After the three of them sent him off, Li Xiumi turned around and said curiously, "Tao Zhenren, Just Now, from what you and Zhenren Zhang have said, that Yuan Chan seems to be very powerful. I wonder what kind of power it has? How could it break the big formation on the Fengling Ocean? "
Mi Zhenren had never heard of this thing before. He also had the same question and looked over.
Tao Zhenren smiled and explained, "This Yuan Chan is a natural mutated species. It has the ability to transform into a hundred thousand feet and swallow continents. I heard that in ancient times, it once wreaked havoc, so the cultivators of the world set up a prohibition outside the continents. But even so, it still could not stop it. In order to prevent it from destroying the spiritual opportunity of the earth, many of them were slaughtered. The remaining ones escaped to an inaccessible place to hide and no longer show themselves. It was said that it was already extinct. I didn't expect Zhenren Zhang to find it again this time."
Li Xiumi said in relief, "No wonder. Even the ancient formation could not stop it. It's not difficult to break the big formation of Wu Ruyang."
Tao Zhenren shook his head and said, "The spiritual opportunity now is very different from the ancient times. We don't know how much of this monster's ability can be used. We still have to be careful."
Li Xiumi said, "Fellow Daoist is right."
Tao Zhenren said again, "Since we have this killer move, I'll have to trouble fellow Daoist Li to follow the previous plan and go to the East Sea first."
Li Xiumi thought that it would probably take a few years to recover her mana. But with the Elixir Jade in hand, she could still recuperate while traveling outside. So she agreed and said, "Alright, I'll leave now."
Tao Zhenren reminded solemnly, "Zhenren Li, if you travel alone, you must be careful of that Wu Ruyang. Although he is in the Fengling Ocean, he might come out to kill you. If fellow Daoist feels that something is wrong, it's better to retreat as soon as possible."
