Ever since Zhang Yan returned from the Pingdu Sect, he had been practicing his divine powers every day. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
On this day, he went to the Little Cold World to fight against Mu Shoushan as promised.
This time, Mu Shoushan had purposely refined a few Enchanted Instruments to restrain him. However, it was not as if he had not improved. As his cultivation advanced, his control over his Mana became more harmonious. Unsurprisingly, Zhenren Mu was still defeated.
After the fight, Mu Shoushan did not look unhappy. He invited Zhang Yan to sit in his hut and offered him a cup of tea instead of wine. He said, "After this fight, I feel that my obsession has suffered a great setback. However, it is not enough to erase it completely. Even if I do it eight or ten more times, it may not be possible. I still need a strong medicine."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "The Sun-swallowing Green Locust must be the strong medicine that Zhenren mentioned."
Zhenren Mu patted his knee and said, "That's right. This Sky Demon has been trapped for more than ten thousand years, so he should still have some strength. This time, he might be able to help me erase this last obsession from my heart mirror."
Zhang Yan nodded. Mu Shoushan's cultivation was profound and he knew many divine powers. He also had two Dharma Images. If he could wholeheartedly work for the sect, he would undoubtedly become a pillar of the sect.
However, that obsession was especially stubborn. Although he could continuously weaken it, as he said, it was very difficult to completely eliminate it.
If he could borrow the power of the demonic insect to eliminate this hidden danger, it was worth a try. Sect Leader Qin must have seen this, which was why he was willing to let this person out.
Zhang Yan did not sit for long before he left and returned to the Du Zhen Hall. He circulated his mana, and lightning flashed on his body. The scenery in front of him changed. He had entered the Xuanyuan Cave.
After the Grotto-Heaven Scripture led in the turbid air, the higher the sky, the deeper the earth. The first wind of Yin and Yang was originally violent. However, after ten years of cultivation by Mountain River Child, it had gradually become subdued. It looked clear and empty, and the mountains and rivers gradually flourished.
His figure flashed and arrived at the peak of the tallest mountain here. The mountain range here rose steeply from the ground and spanned over 500 kilometers. When looked at from here, it was a vast and boundless land that stretched as far as the eye could see.
At this time, a lot of pure purple spiritual vigor poured in. It might even give birth to plants and creatures. However, this place was not a small world, so there was no need to add such things. He could build a few palaces and did not need to use the illusory realm to make up for it. However, he was not willing to use the things from the outside world to fill in this place. It was inevitable that the spiritual vigor would be contaminated and it would not be beautiful.
At this time, Mountain River Child also noticed his arrival and appeared to greet him. He said, "Greetings, Master."
Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities." He pointed at his feet. "Zhenren Mu Master," he said.
"Zhen Child," Mountain River Mountain River Child, "I," Mountain, "Master" Child, Mountain River Zhang "
"Yan" and "Master" of Child of Chen Yan "." Mountain "Zhang" Chen "of Zhang of Of Luo." He sat on the jade platform and closed his eyes to meditate.
After a few months, a spiritual light came to the Du Zhen Hall and stopped in front of the hall. It caused the bell hanging under the eaves to ring.
Zhang Yan immediately sensed it and with a sweep of his divine sense, he received the spiritual light. He held it in his hand and saw that it was a jade talisman. It was the Sect Leader's order. He thought to himself, "Ten years of preparation, it's time to move."
Three days later, Little Cold World.
Zhang Yan, Huo Xuan, and Lu Junyang stood at a corner outside the world gate. Beside the three of them, there were two cultivators, one male and one female. The male was around twenty years old, he had a strong body and looked like he was in Yuanying Realm. He was the disciple that Qi Yuntian took in after entering the grotto-heaven. His name was Guan Yingyue.
The female looked seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed in red and had a sword by her waist. She stood behind Guan Yingyue. She was Zhou Xuan's disciple, Zhou Xian 'er.
After waiting for a while, the door in the world opened. Mu Shoushan, dressed in white, walked out from the restriction formation.
This was the first time in nearly nine hundred years that he had come out of the Sealed Realm Pass. Looking around at the clear world, he felt a sense of melancholy. However, at this time, in the sect, besides Sect Leader Qin, Qi Yuntian, and the few people here, no one knew that he had come out.
After he was done being emotional, he greeted Zhang Yan and the others.
Guan Yingyue came up and bowed, "Zhenren Mu, I am here under the order of the sect leader."
Mu Shoushan said lazily, "I know why you are here. Hand over the talisman."
Guan Yingyue straightened his body and apologized. He took out an item from his sleeves and took it out. It drew a ray of light and entered Mu Shoushan's body. The latter didn't move and let him do what he wanted.
After all, he was still a sinner, so he needed to plant a talisman on his body. If anything happened, or if his avatar came out to cause trouble, then the talisman would immediately come out to restrain his Fa Li. That way, any one of his companions could come out and easily capture him back.
When the brilliance gradually faded, he asked, "Is it time to move?"
Guan Yingyue bowed and took a step back. He said, "This matter should be decided by the two Hall Masters. It is not my place to interrupt."
Zhang Yan looked at the time and said, "Ten years of preparation is for today. Now is the best time to move. What does Hall Master Dikong think?"
Huo Xuan nodded. "Since there is nothing else, there is no need to delay. Let's go."
This trip to the West Ocean was secretive. They couldn't let Yuxiao and the other factions find out. Therefore, the group hid their auras and rode on the clouds. They first went north, passed the Middle Pillar Continent, and headed west. About 20 days later, they arrived at the West Ocean. They searched for a few days according to the records of the predecessors before confirming the location of the land.
Zhang Yan took out a jade talisman from his sleeves. It was about the height of a palm and the width of four fingers. The talisman was hollow, and there was a small dragon swimming around in it. It was as if it thought it was in the deep ocean.
This was the Dragon Soul Essence. However, it had already been refined by Sect Master Qin into a Dharma Artifact. It could be controlled by people. When it was time to use it, there was no need to refine it in advance.
He threw the talisman down and allowed it to sink into the sea. After a while, the bottom of the sea surged violently, and finally, a path opened up.
Zhang Yan called out, and everyone used their Qi to descend. Wherever they passed, the sea behind them closed up, and there was no trace of it.
Originally, this Dragon Soul Essence could control the water of the four seas. As long as there was enough magic power, it could even lift up the entire sea. However, if they did this, ordinary Grotto-Heaven cultivators might not notice anything strange, but they couldn't hide it from those who had refined their Nascent Fetus. Therefore, they had to be careful.
As the jade talisman continued to sink, the group also went deeper and deeper. After nearly 20 days, the talisman suddenly stopped, as if it was blocked by something.
Zhang Yan looked down and saw that there was a wide ravine below them. The two ends stretched out, and he couldn't see the end. In the ravine, there was a thick and heavy wall of water. It looked similar to lead, but the seawater outside was completely different.
Huo Xuan said, "This must be the 'Deep Depth of Heavy Water' recorded in the ancient books."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it is. Only this kind of heavy water can suppress that Heavenly Demon."
The Deep Depth of Heavy Water was extremely heavy. Rumor had it that only a drop of it could sink a mountain. When Shen Baishuang established the sect in Dongsheng, it was named after this water.
This water was originally widely distributed in the four seas. Back then, the cultivators of the West Continent spent many years searching for it. In the end, they condensed it into a layer of water shield and filled the eye of the sea to suppress the Sun Swallowing Green Locust.
Even if the four of them were here, they might not be able to move this heavy water away with their magic power even if they spent more than a hundred years.
However, everything in the world had its weakness. No matter how the water was, it was still formed by heaven and earth. With the Dragon Soul Essence, it could still be moved.
Zhang Yan waved his hand and took the jade talisman in his hand. He silently circulated his magic power for a moment and shook it downward. The surface of the talisman slowly cracked, but it was only as small as a hair. He had to constantly increase his strength to expand it.
Zhou Xian 'er followed beside Guan Yingyue and asked softly, "Youngest Uncle-Master, I heard that the Dragon Talisman was in the hands of the Demon Lord Ji Wang of the Lord Origin Palace. When the descendant of the Dragon God was weak, why didn't he use this item to release the Green Locust?"
Guan Yingyue explained, "Although the Dragon God and the demonic insect are both Heavenly Demons, they are not on the same side. They are even wary of each other. How would the Ji Clan be willing to let it out? Even the eight demon marquises are not willing to have another person on top of them. Furthermore, there is a Xuanmen restriction below. Even if a non-human cultivator could open this Deep Depth of Heavy Water, they would not be able to enter this place. "
As the gap below gradually widened, a ray of light appeared inside. Zhang Yan said, "Please enter first, I will follow later."
Huo Xuan and the others did not hesitate. They swept up Guan Yingyue and Zhou Xian 'er, turned into light and flew inside. Soon, they disappeared.
Zhang Yan rolled up his sleeves and kept the jade talisman. He used the Water Escape Technique of the Five Elements Escape Technique and passed through without any hindrance.
With his current mana, it was easy for him to escape alone, but it would be difficult for him to bring his peers along.
After walking for a short distance, he passed the water wall. His body suddenly felt lighter, and he found himself inside a tall and spacious palace.
He looked around and saw that Huo Xuan and the others were standing not far away. In front of them, there was a Daoist. He had his hair in a bun and was dressed in a simple robe. His back was facing everyone, and right in front of him was a stone arch. Inside the arch, clouds and mist churned, but from time to time, there would be flashes of light. It was clearly a gateway to a small world, and this was the path to the place where the Green Locust was trapped.
Lv Junyang looked at the back of the Daoist and said, "This must be the ancestor who was in charge of guarding the hall in the early years."
Zhang Yan nodded. He had read the records. At that time, although the Western Continent cultivators had suppressed the demonic insect, because they were unable to kill it, they had no choice but to guard against it breaking through the barrier and escaping. Thus, they sent people to guard this place.
Mu Shoushan walked forward and stood in front of the Daoist. He looked over and saw that the person had a thin face and a long gray beard. He sat with his eyes closed and held a long sword in his hand. The scabbard fell not far in front of him. He sighed and said, "This person pulled out his sword outside. It is obvious that until he died, he did not forget his duty to guard the place."
As he spoke, the sword in the person's hand suddenly made a sound. It jumped up and slashed straight at his face.
When Guan Yingyue and Zhou Xian 'er saw this, they could not help but be shocked. The latter even exclaimed.
Zhang Yan, Huo Xuan, and Lv Junyang saw this, but their expressions were calm, as if they were not surprised at all.
Mu Shoushan's eyes moved, and he snorted. He raised two fingers and firmly stopped the sword light.
