Mu Shoushan stood in front of the sword gleam and grabbed it in his hand. With a flick of his finger, the sword vibrated and emitted a clear sound. It turned into a ball of flowing light, as though it could fly away if he released it. He praised, "After more than ten thousand years, this sword still has not lost its spirituality. It moves according to the Qi. The arrangement of the ancestors is indeed exquisite."
After sighing, he turned back and said, "You may take a look." He loosened his fingers and let the sword gleam fly away.
Zhang Yan glanced at it. Under the guidance of his divine will, he wrapped it with mana and brought it in front of him. After sensing for a moment, he looked at the entrance of the small world and said thoughtfully, "It seems that the rumors are true. The things here can be nourished by external Qi. No wonder it can survive for ten thousand years. In that case, the demonic insect is still alive in this world."
In ancient times, the cultivators of the West Continent did not leave this passage for the demonic insect to come up, but for a special purpose.
Under the Deep Abyssal Heavy Water, this palace was formed by the treasure that sealed the demonic insects. However, no matter what kind of magical treasure it was, if it was not refined and nourished by someone for tens of thousands of years, or if a sealing technique was applied to it, then even if it was immortal, it would inevitably decline.
In response to this, the cultivators of the West Continent set up a method to let the treasured weapon continuously absorb vitality from the body of the demonic insect. On one hand, it weakened the sun-swallowing green locust, and on the other hand, it nourished the treasured weapon. As long as the demonic insect did not die, the treasured weapon would not stop.
But even after ten thousand years of imprisonment, the Sky Demon did not really die. It was not difficult to imagine how strong it was when it was at its peak. No wonder when Dragon Monarch Ji Wuwang sealed all the demons in the world, she did not come to provoke it.
Zhang Yan had seen the remains of the Dragon Monarch and knew the power of such a demon. But since Qincang School was compared to other sects, it had an advantage. After more than ten thousand years of fighting with the demonic cultivators, not only did they restrain the demons, but they also refined many treasured weapons to kill demons.
To ensure success, Sect Leader Qin personally came forward to talk about the pros and cons, and invited the North Underworld Heavenly Sword to accompany them. If the other party was really not something they could deal with, then they could use this sword to achieve their goal.
Huo Xuan looked up and said, "If we can resolve this matter, we'll have to deal with it. If we take back the Deep Abyssal Water, our Qincang School will be able to obtain another sect treasure. "
Mu Shoushan agreed, "This Abyssal Heavy Water is indeed a good item. If it falls into the hands of a cultivator who specializes in water techniques, its power would be unimaginable. Even a defensive True Artifact would find it hard to block it. In the past, Master had set his eyes on this item, but unfortunately, he wasn't able to obtain it. "
Zhang Yan knew that he was not exaggerating. Although there was a lot of Heavy Water in front of him, tens of thousands of years ago, the sages of the past had spent a lot of effort to gather it drop by drop with a special magical instrument. Just Now, he had sensed that with his current body's transcendence energy. At most, it could only control a handful of water.
This was heavy water that could even suppress a Sky Demon. Luckily, he had the dragon soul essence with him. Once he was done, he could take it with him. Otherwise, he would only be able to bring back a small amount.
Guan Yingyue's heart jumped. He went to Lu Junyang, who had not spoken, and asked, "Spiritual Master Lu, junior has a question. This Heavy Water is such a good item, why didn't the other disciples come to take it?"
Lu Junyang was impatient. He said calmly, "Even Spiritual Master Grotto-Heaven wouldn't be able to come here without a magical instrument. This water is too heavy. Even a drop is as heavy as five mountains and three mountains. It can't be stored in a sleeve. Cultivators can only use their own transcendence energy to carry it. Think about it. If you were to carry such heavy pressure when you were walking, sitting, or fighting with others, what would it be like? "
Guan Yingyue just listened and felt the weight on his back. He looked above him, and his gaze was filled with respect. He sighed and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Spiritual Master, for answering my question."
Mu Shoushan glanced over and smiled. "Even though you cultivate water techniques, you are not proficient enough. When you have mastered it, it won't be too late to think about this water."
When Guan Yingyue heard this, he quickly said, "Spiritual Master, you are right."
After Zhang Yan walked one round in front of the world gate, he replied, "Everyone, this matter isn't urgent. We can discuss it when we return. Later, the three Spiritual Masters and I will enter the small world to suppress the demons. The two Martial Nephews will stay here and provide support."
Guan Yingyue and Zhou Xian 'er bowed and accepted the order.
Zhang Yan reached into his sleeve and took out five smooth golden pearls. He tossed them out. Other than keeping one in his hand, he gave the rest away.
He said solemnly, "Please carry this pearl with you. This concerns whether we can return safely. Don't damage it or lose it."
It was easy to enter the two worlds, but difficult to get out. If one did not plan in advance and entered the inner room without being able to find a way out, they would be sealed in the inner room like the demon insect.
The pearl was called the Revealing Death Pearl. It was born in a demon called the Tidal Smoke Mussel. Every full moon, it would come up to absorb essence and collect spiritual opportunity. Every time the mussel bloomed, there would be smoke rising into the air. It was as clear as the moonlight, and it would form pearls. After a thousand years, six pearls would be formed.
The pearls had a magical effect. People who wore the same pearls could sense each other no matter how far apart they were. Even if they were separated by two worlds. If they were not far apart, they could even check each other's whereabouts. To the cultivators in the grotto-heaven, as long as they had a trace of spiritual opportunity, they would be able to return after sensing it. They would not have to worry about being lost in this world.
After the four of them adjusted their breathing, they bowed to the Daoist's remains and walked into the world gate.
After they disappeared, Zhou Xian 'er asked curiously, "Junior Uncle-Master, do you know why the Spiritual Masters subdued this Sky Demon?"
Guan Yingyue shook his head. "The sect has its own plans. Martial Nephew, don't ask."
Although he was a disciple of Qi Yuntian, the grand scheme of the Yue Cang Sect was not something he could know. He came here to broaden his horizons and also to wait here as a person carrying the pearl so that he could help Zhang Yan and the others escape.
Naturally, there were four Spiritual Masters in the Grotto-Heaven Realm. The sect would not entrust such a grand matter to two juniors. The last Revealing Death Pearl was still in the sect to prevent accidents.
After Zhang Yan crossed the realm gate, he found himself in a tall cave. The stone around him was dark red and dark gold. It was as if it was made of copper and iron. There was a big hole at the top that led to an unknown place.
The jade scroll only described the layout of the Outer Realm in detail, but it didn't mention anything about the Inner Realm. That was why he wasn't in a rush to act and just observed. He found that the spiritual energy here was so thin that it was almost non-existent. He immediately knew that once he collided with the Green Locust, it would be difficult for him to recover if he couldn't kill it in one go.
He waited for a while, but the three of them didn't come. He thought, "It seems that there are other arrangements here. We may not appear in the same place."
Fortunately, he had considered this possibility before he entered. He used the Revealing Death Pearl to sense, but he was surprised to find that they were very far apart. It would take at least a few days to gather in the same place.
Since that was the case, he was not in a hurry to meet up. He decided to explore the surroundings first.
With a move of his mind, a sword light flew out from between his eyebrows. It turned into countless rainbows and flew in all directions. After half an hour, he finally explored the place.
He was currently within a majestic mountain, and the belly of the mountain was densely packed with caves like a beehive. Almost the entire mountain range had been hollowed out, and it was obvious that it had been eroded by an external force.
At this moment, his expression changed slightly. The sword light had discovered something again. He formed a hand seal and used the Five Elements Escape Technique. In an instant, he escaped underground. After a few dozen breaths, he landed in a cave. His eyes flashed.
Lying here was a large worm with a body like a white elephant. It was a hundred feet long and thirty feet tall. Its head was swollen, and its neck was covered with a carapace. There was a row of short tentacles under its body, and its tail was hooked into the ground. Its entire body was as white as jade, and there was no hair or beard on it. However, there was no sign of life at this moment, as if it had been dead for a long time.
Zhang Yan thought for a bit. "Looking at its appearance, it should be the elephant worm."
The Elephant Worm and the Vermillion Candle Worm were both descendants of the Sun Swallowing Green Locust. However, he was a little surprised to see them here. He thought to himself, "In that case, it's not just the Sun Swallowing Green Locust that's sealed here. It's very likely that even its descendants are sealed here."
The sun-swallowing green locust was not alone. It had many descendants, and they were all over the South Cliff Continent. Even now, many poisonous insects in the continent were more or less related to it. When the West Continent cultivators fought with it, they not only had to deal with it, but also had to deal with the overwhelming number of strange insects.
However, this was not a bad thing for him. The bodies of these ancient demonic insects were good treasures. If he took them back, he could refine them into treasures.
He shook his sleeves, and with a swooshing sound, a torrential water light rushed out and engulfed the insect. After moving the insect away, he saw that there was a smooth and flat stone where it was originally lying. He looked at it and was surprised, "Reflective Stone?"
Many of the jade slips commonly used by cultivators were made of this kind of stone. In addition to imparting techniques, one could also transfer their own memories and past experiences into it.
Zhang Yan thought that the insect was lying on this stone. Obviously, it had something important to tell its kind, so he said, "Well, let's see what kind of scene you left here that day."
He looked at it, and the big stone floated up from the pit. With a flick of his finger, a spiritual light shot into it.
After a while, there was a light on it, and a vague figure appeared. It could be recognized that it was a Taoist in a wide robe. Not far from him, there were more than ten elephant worms, each as big as a mountain. This person didn't seem to care about them at all. He casually stretched out his hand, and a faint smoke flew into his hand. All the elephant worms collapsed to the ground, and after a while, they died one after another.
After the Daoist finished doing this casually, he seemed to have noticed a target and turned into a streak of light that soared into the sky.
The light dimmed, and the scene was interrupted. There was no more movement on the stone slab.
