Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Tao, when do you think it's appropriate, I can go with you to Donglai."
Tao Zhenhong thought for a while and said, "Even if the Sky Demon is not at his peak, it is not easy to capture him. I need twenty to thirty years to recover my mana, and then I can go with you."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "This matter is not urgent. After Tao Zhenren is prepared, we can make plans."
After bidding farewell to Tao Zhenren, he retracted his mana and retracted his consciousness from the Psychic Jade Wall.
The reason why he did this was not without reason. He had discussed it with Sect Leader Qin before. The Human Ordeal was coming. Not only did he have to increase his own strength, he also had to find ways to increase the strength of his allies.
For sects like Anatta Temple and Pingdu Sect, they were one of the top ten mystical sects. They had their own way of doing things. They just had to follow the prescribed order, and outsiders could not interfere. However, people like Tao Zhenhong and Li Xiumi were different. Even though they were the founders of sects, they had not been established for long and their foundation was shallow. Before the next generation of disciples rose up, they were actually a burden.
Just like the Jade Tomb Patriarch, because of the restraints of the sect, it was almost impossible for him to ascend. He was able to succeed in the end because of the contest between the two sects. In some cases, it was also out of helplessness.
Tao Zhenren and Zhang Yan had a good friendship and owed him a favor. Now, under the instruction of Qincang School, he had fought with Yuxiao several times. He was the most trustworthy cultivator of the grotto-heaven outside the sect. If such a person were to encounter a battle, he would definitely be of help to Qincang School and was worth supporting.
In the Huiyang Grotto-Heaven, Sima Quan sat with his eyes closed. After taking over Wu Ruyang's spirit, he had obtained some unimportant fragments of consciousness. If he did not sort them out, it would easily affect his future cultivation.
About five days later. He stopped meditating and turned into a cold wind. He flew towards a corner of the grotto-heaven and landed on an inconspicuous mountain peak.
There was an exquisitely renovated hut here. After taking a look inside, he came out holding an exquisitely carved talisman in his hand.
This was refined by Wu Ruyang. If one wasn't the master of the Heavenly Grotto, they could only take this item. Only then could they enter and exit the Grotto-Heaven. This was originally left behind by this old Daoist for his own disciples.
If Sima Quan did not obtain it, then it would be difficult for him to return after he left.
However, there was not much excitement in his eyes. Even though he had occupied this place, he still felt that it was of little value. This place was created by the Mysterious Gate Paradise, and it was filled with pure spiritual energy. It would be best for him to cultivate in a place that was filled with Yin energy.
It was not that this world could not be changed. However, if he did that, it would consume too much spiritual energy. It was done. He also needed to maintain it from time to time. Rather than that, he might as well refine more Six Yin Demon Insects.
Furthermore, it took a lot of energy to maintain the Grotto-Heaven, and he was not willing to put in too much effort here.
He raised his hand and made a hand seal, activating his technique. He sensed the clone in the continent and was about to escape from within. However, after a few breaths, he stopped and laughed coldly, "I forgot about all of you."
Wu Ruyang came to fight this time, bringing along "Energy Gazing", "Sinking", and "Space Crossing". When he fought against Tao Zhenhong and the others, he had the upper hand, which was why he didn't use these three true treasures in the end.
Before this, when Wu Ruyang's soul was taken over, these three treasures were together with seven to eight artifacts. Under the suppression of Sima Quan's spiritual energy, they didn't move at all. Because it was too smooth, he nearly tossed them to the back of his head. At this moment, he thought about it. After all, these were three true treasures. How could they be subdued by such a small technique? He was pretending to be obedient, but in reality, he was waiting for a chance in the dark.
Once he went out now, these true treasures would follow him. These true treasures would definitely escape with him. Then, the truth that Wu Ruyang was killed by him would definitely be revealed. The Yuxiao school would definitely use all sorts of methods to hunt him down. This was obviously something that could be avoided, so naturally, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
As soon as he said that, three rays of light flashed and flew out from his body. They were about to escape into the distance.
How could he allow them to escape? He waved his sleeves and black smoke rose up from all directions, wrapping around them. Looking at the three rings struggling non-stop, he laughed coldly and reached out to grab them one by one. He said coldly, "You better behave yourselves. Otherwise, it wouldn't be difficult for me to use demonic poison to taint your precious fetus."
When the three rings heard this, they indeed quietened down and stopped moving.
Sima Quan knew that these Xuanmen treasures wouldn't help this demon of his, so he didn't expect them to. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he could allow them to live. However, if they wanted to leave, they could forget about it.
After sealing them, he took out his spell again. After a long time, his figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, there was a vast ocean in front of him.
From afar, a black shadow flew over quickly. It was the clone that came over. He allowed it to land behind his own body.
He looked around and realized that this time, he landed on the west sea. He thought to himself, "Why don't I place the gate to the grotto-heaven here? I won't absorb the spiritual vigor. Even if the Yuxiao school found out, they would only be able to sense the general direction, but not the exact location. But this grotto-heaven has no one to support it, so it can only exist for a few hundred years. Rather than letting it go to waste, I can summon some of my favorite disciples to cultivate inside. "
After thinking about it, he simply sat down and cultivated for a month. He placed the gate here. The border gate opened and closed, and not much spiritual vigor leaked out.
After looking at it with satisfaction, he swept up a gust of chilly wind and quickly returned to the southwest underground.
Once he was in the palace cauldron, he ordered, "Go and summon Fang Shin An."
It wasn't long before Fang Xinan arrived before him. After experiencing the changes in his sect and cultivating in the outside world for so many years, his disposition was much more composed than before, and he knelt down according to etiquette and said, "Disciple greets Master."
Sima Quan saw that his cultivation had improved a lot compared to the last time. With this comparison, none of the disciples he took in could compare to him. He felt that his choice was not wrong, so he said, "What you cultivate is Xuanmen's martial arts. In my spiritual cave, there is a lot of turbid air. Although you can cultivate, after a long time, it will be hard to avoid the Yin Demon's corrosion, which is very disadvantageous to you."
Fang Shin An hurriedly said, "Disciple is an abandoned disciple of Nan Hua. To be taken in by teacher is already a blessing, how can I ask for anything else?"
Sima Quan said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to test you. This time, I obtained a Xuanmen Grotto-Heaven and can send you in to cultivate. So I'm here to ask you, are you willing to go?"
Fang Shin An heard that Sima Quan was actually willing to send him to a Grotto-Heaven to cultivate. He was instantly overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed to thank him.
Sima Quan chuckled and said, "Don't thank me first. I want to make things clear to you. I took this paradise from the Jade Heaven Sect, and for that, I even took the life of a Heavenly Abode Master. That place could be discovered by this person at any time. Now that you know all this, do you still dare to go?"
Fang Shin An's heart trembled. He then gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple is willing."
His talent was not bad, but after leaving the sect, the only thing he lacked was a Grotto-Heaven to cultivate. Therefore, his cultivation was actually a burden. Thinking of those who were far less talented than him, one by one, would surpass him in the future, he could not bear it. Even if there were many dangers this time, he was not willing to give up.
However, after kowtowing, there was no reply for a long time. He was smart. After thinking for a while, he immediately raised his head and said, "Disciple hereby swears. If a cultivator from the Yuxiao school comes looking for me, I will not dare to reveal anything about Teacher. "
Sima Quan looked at him deeply and said, "I hope you remember this."
However, he did not give him the token to enter the Grotto-Heaven. He only pointed out the location of the door and ordered him to leave.
After Fang Shin An found out where the Grotto-Heaven was, he was not willing to stay for a moment longer. After going back to pack up, he came out from the underground. He took in a deep breath, and a smoke rose up as he escaped above the West Ocean.
Time passed, and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Donghua Continent, many things happened during these years. Yuxiao school's Wu Fenggu became a Grotto-Heaven and inherited the position of Returning Sun Peak Lord.
Lishan Sect received the help of the cultivators from the Qincang School. Sect Leader Shen Zixin had already settled the internal problems. Although there were still some remnants of the West River that had not been wiped out, it did not affect the overall situation. Rumor had it that he had temporarily handed over the matters of the sect to his fellow sect members to manage. He himself was in seclusion, hoping to be able to peek into the Grotto-Heaven.
Within the spiritual caves of the various sects, the Six Yin Demon Bugs surged out like a tide once more. This was enough to prove that the Sky Demon Sima Quan had recovered his spiritual power and was about to make a comeback. However, this time, they did not tolerate it any longer. They searched everywhere for the whereabouts of this Heavenly Demon. However, Sima Quan hid himself very well. If there was anything, he would send his doppelgangers to do it. Thus, they had not found his whereabouts yet.
As for the Qincang School, Ning Chongxuan, the Hall of Purity Sect's Side Hall Master, sensed that his cultivation had reached the final stage, so he returned to the Xuanze Ocean Realm to comprehend his cultivation. Until now, he had not come out of seclusion.
In the depths of the Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity, a cave that was rarely visited suddenly shook, and a loud sound reverberated in all directions.
A clear Qi floated above Yuan JIngqing's head, rushing all the way to the top of the cave that was a thousand feet high. Then, the Qi dispersed, and a Yuanying appeared. There were thousands of thin and long streams of air swirling around him, making whooshing sounds.
He sat with his eyes closed. Even if he did not use his heart to sense, he could still feel the various changes in the Qi around him as the clear stream rushed forward.
At this moment, as he stepped into the Yuanying State, his understanding of the Sensory Nerve also deepened.
After silently comprehending for a long time, he retracted his Qi and kept the Yuanying back into his body. Then, he stood up and pushed the door open.
At this moment, his expression changed slightly, and he looked towards the water screen in front of the cave. Wang Caiwei stepped out from the ripples of the flowing water. She looked at him up and down, and her eyes brightened. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, junior brother."
Yuan JIngqing cupped his hands and said, "I was lucky to succeed, but compared to senior brothers and sisters, I'm still lacking in training."
Wang Caiwei smiled and said, "A young eagle cries for the first time, and before it flaps its wings, it can already hear the sound of the sky shaking. Junior brother, you don't have to be humble. With your aptitude, if you cultivate the five techniques of the sect, you might even achieve Yuanying earlier. In terms of aptitude, other than eldest senior sister and sixth junior brother, I'm afraid no one can be compared to you."
Yuan JIngqing shook his head and said, "In the Daoist book that my teacher gave me, there was a saying, 'Even if you climb up a high mountain, when you look up, it's still a mountain.' I often use it as a warning."
Wang Caiwei unconsciously nodded and said, "This junior brother is able to maintain his original heart, not be disturbed by external things, not be moved by sorrow or joy, but he is a seed of cultivation."
At this moment, Yuan JIngqing cupped his hands and said, "Senior sister, when I first came here, because I felt that my cultivation was too low, I did not have the face to meet my teacher. Now that I have achieved Yuanying, I want to pay my respects. How do I get to the Floating Heavenly Palace?"
Previously, he only paid his respects to Zhang Yan in front of the Jade Wall of Zhao You Heavenly Lake, but he did not see his true face. Now that he had achieved Yuanying, even if he was in the Qincang School, he would still be able to take up the position of an elder. Therefore, as a disciple, he should personally pay his respects.
Wang Caiwei said, "That's how it should be."
Now that this generation of disciples had achieved Yuanying, she was also quite gratified. She took out a talisman from her pouch and said, "The Floating Heavenly Palace is on the spiritual point of my Qincang School, it revolves around the spiritual point all year round. There are astral winds coming and going from the outside, so you need talismans to protect yourself. Junior brother, take this talisman, it can send you to the front of the Du Zhen Hall."
Yuan JIngqing took it and thanked her. After saying a few words, Wang Caiwei left. He returned to the cave abode to tidy up, changed into a robe and left the Heavenly Lake of Zhao You Heavenly Lake, heading towards the Great Lake of Dragon Abyss. When the patrolling disciples saw that he was carrying the sect's talisman and that he was a Yuanying cultivator, they all gave way to him.
After entering the mountain gate, he first took a look at the boundless great lake in front of him, then rode the astral winds and escaped upwards.
Not long after, he saw a huge palace faintly discernible in the clouds. At this moment, he felt that the astral winds were getting stronger, so he activated the talisman. In an instant, a ray of light wrapped around his body, and with a rumble, he pierced through the heavy clouds.
He only felt that his vision was blurred, and he had already landed on a stone platform. In front of him was a slope that slanted upwards, he tidied his robe and walked up.
When he was at the top, he looked around and saw that there were more than ten Taoists sitting on two stone lotus platforms, cultivating. Every one of them had vast and vigorous mana, but he could not tell what realm they were at. He only felt that if any one of them stood out, they could easily take him down.
He was shocked and thought, "Could it be that everyone here has cultivated Yuanying Dharmakaya?"
He also knew that Big Senior Sister Liu Yanyi and Tian Kun had the highest cultivation, and had already reached the third stage of Yuanying. They were cultivating in this Du Zhen Hall, but to see more than ten people with such cultivation here at the same time, his heart could not help but be shocked.
At this moment, a white-haired Daoren looked in his direction and said, "The Du Zhen Hall is an important place, no one is allowed to enter without being summoned, who is below?"
Yuan JIngqing cupped his hands and said, "Xuanyuan Cave's disciple, Yuan JIngqing, wishes to come to the hall to pay his respects to Master."
When this Daoren heard this, his expression immediately softened, and he asked, "Are you Master Liu's disciple?"
Just as Yuan JIngqing was about to answer, a Taoist with a long beard walked over and said with a smile, "Master Gu, this is my little Junior Brother."
Daoren was startled, and said, "So you are the Hall Master's disciple." He did not dare to be careless, and immediately stood up and cupped his hands towards Yuan JIngqing, and said, "Greetings, Fellow Yuan."
Not only him, the more than ten Taoists behind him also stood up one by one, and greeted him politely.
Yuan JIngqing returned their greetings one by one, and finally bowed to Fu Baoxing, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Fu Baoxing smiled and said, "Just now I received Senior Sister Wang's letter, and I know that Junior Brother is here to pay his respects to Master. It just so happens that I have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask Master, please follow me in."
