After Zhang Yan understood the situation, he and Mu Shoushan returned the way they came. After an hour, they returned to the surface.
Huo Xuan saw that the two of them came up safely and calmed down. He asked, "Is there anything strange about the formation?"
Zhang Yan did not hide anything and told them about the situation inside. He and Lu Junyang knew about it.
After Huo Xuan heard it, he was slightly shocked and thought, "I didn't expect this continent to be moved in from the outside. However, the ancient cultivators were all strong. They fought with the demonic insects, but this island was not destroyed. If I'm not wrong, it must be because of Zhenren Yao Han's Jade Cliff Calmness that it was safe. "
Lu Junyang said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, there is something I don't understand."
Zhang Yan said, "What is it, Protector Lu?"
Lu Junyang said, "For a Heavenly Demon like the Sun-swallowing Green Locust, even if it doesn't destroy the world, it won't be difficult for it to shatter continents. It's not something that a high cliff can restrain. I wonder what's strange about it?"
Mu Shoushan said, "Protector Lu, you may not know, but before Zhenren Hua fought with the demon locust, he first set up a restriction on the Observation Cliff and guided the spiritual vigor of treasures into it. Then, he massacred the descendants of the demon locust and lured them to fight. Only then did he succeed in nailing them to the cliff."
Lu Junyang nodded silently.
Zhang Yan looked towards the northwest. According to the consciousness left by Hua Qinzhou, the Observation Cliff was in that direction. According to what he said, it should be the highest point of this island.
However, when he looked over, he was blocked by a wide mountain range. He could not see where the high cliff was. He said, "The Observation Cliff is not too far from here. If we rush there now, we should be able to reach it in about 40 hours."
Huo Xuan said, "The sooner we get rid of the demon, the sooner we can complete the task assigned by the sect. The spiritual vigor here is extremely weak. The longer we drag this on, the weaker our vigor will be. We are still at the peak of our vigor, why don't we find it now?"
Zhang Yan looked at Mu Shoushan and Lu Junyang. Seeing that they did not have any objections, he said, "Then let's go. But the demon locust is very fierce, you must be careful."
The three of them solemnly agreed.
After Zhang Yan explained. Together with the three of them, he rode a streak of light in the sky and flew towards the direction of the Sky Observation Cliff.
There was no sun or moon in this small world, nor was there any distinction between day and night. After traveling for about two days, they arrived at the mountain range.
Zhang Yan raised his hand, and the cloud descended first, followed by the other three.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, he turned around and said, "After we pass this mountain, we will reach the Sky Viewing Cliff. It is less than three thousand miles away from where we are standing, but I can't feel the slightest aura of the demonic insect. There must be a reason for this. Why don't the three Reverends rest here first? I'll use the Flying Sword Technique to check it out. "
Huo Xuan and the rest agreed. They might have to face the Sky Demon when they came down, so the three of them did not dare to be careless. They sat down cross-legged and adjusted their spiritual vigor.
With a thought, Zhang Yan raised his head again, and a streak of sword light shot out from between his brows, heading straight for the sky. When it was halfway there, it had already concealed its sharpness. It suddenly turned, went around the mountain ridge, and flew outwards.
After a while. His eyes flashed, and he said, "Everyone, the demonic insect is not where it was."
The three of them instantly became alert. Could it be that the demonic locust had broken free from the restriction? If that was the case, then it could appear anywhere in the world at any time.
Huo Xuan said in a deep voice, "Did it escape?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Everyone, follow me and you will know."
He tapped his foot. A streak of light flew up.
The three of them were puzzled, but they also flew over. Because they were not far away, they quickly reached the ground.
However, the scene before them caused them to be secretly shocked. They saw that a large gap had been revealed where the cliff should have been. Not only that, even everything in the surrounding 500km had disappeared, as if someone had dug out a piece of it from thin air.
In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand miles away, there was a cliff. Looking out, it was a dark void.
From here, they could clearly see that the continent under their feet was floating in a vast void. Outside it was thin clouds, and there were countless broken walls, broken peaks, and broken mountain rocks.
Lv Junyang looked over and said, "This is the end of the He Wei Continent."
This realm was formed by the Xuanhui Sect's treasure. It was very similar to the Inner World created by the Mortal Metamorphosis Cultivators, but it was more stable. Although there was an end to the continent, the small world was boundless.
Huo Xuan said in surprise, "Did the Sun-swallowing Green Locust escape?"
Mu Shoushan said, "That's strange. Once the seven Glorious Treasured Yang Nails enter the demon's body, they will grow together with the demon's body. Furthermore, the demon is pinned to the cliff. Logically speaking, the more it exerts, the more Spiritual Vigor leaks out. The seal on the cliff will also become stronger. It's almost impossible to break the mountain with its own strength."
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and said, "The range of the restriction that Perfected Hua set that day should be more than a thousand miles, similar to this gap. Although the demon locust can't escape by itself, with the help of external forces, it is not necessarily so."
"External forces?" Huo Xuan looked around, and there was a flicker of golden fire in his eyes. He said warily, "Is there a demon insect here?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It is under our feet."
He stretched out his hand and suddenly the soil broke open. There was a long insect in his hand. It was the length of a finger, with a pair of sharp jaws at the front. Its whole body was gray and brown, and its skin was wrinkled all over. It was strange and ugly.
The three of them could not help but look at it.
Zhang Yan said, "This insect is called the Soul Cleaving Sandfly. It is also considered a descendant of the demon locust. It does not have any vicious methods, but it has one ability. It does not need any spiritual opportunity. It only needs to eat rotten soil and gravel to maintain its vitality. The demon locust must have used this insect to slowly eat the land from the outside and bite through the mountain rocks. Just Now, it is able to escape. Why don't you guys sense it? There are many of these things under this land. "
When the three of them heard his words, they immediately used their senses. Sure enough, they sensed an uncountable number of small insects below them. At this moment, they were gnawing on the rocks and soil. If they were given enough time, it wouldn't be difficult for them to devour the entire island.
They did not notice it before because the vitality of the insect was too weak. To Perfected Dongtian, it was no different from an insect.
Zhang Yan looked at the distant sky and said, "After this demonic insect was nailed to the cliff, it knew that it couldn't escape, so it was afraid that it would be killed by the cultivators who came later. Thus, it used this method. Although it couldn't escape from the cliff, it could escape together with the body of the cliff. If I am not wrong, it must have floated into the endless space, so it would be difficult for the people who came later to find it. "
Mu Shoushan sneered and said, "It is indeed a good plan. But if he left like this, he must have suffered a lot."
Zhang Yan agreed and said, "That is right. Since Perfected Hua has killed all the demon concubines and disciples of the Sun-swallowing Blue Locust, if he wants to give birth to a child like the Soul Cleaving Sandfly, he can only refine it with his own blood. Although I do not know how much vitality he has left after being nailed to the cliff, this will make things worse. I did not expect this demon to be a very decisive person. If he did not do this, we would have found him today. "
Everyone nodded their heads. Although they had yet to meet this opponent, they could tell that this Demonic Insect wasn't an idiot. Not only was it extremely cunning, but it was also ruthless when faced with the problem of making a choice.
Mu Shoushan said, "This isn't a bad thing for me, the only thing I have to worry about. The only thing is that since this demon is deliberately hiding, it will not be easy to find its whereabouts. The spiritual opportunity here is weak. The longer we stay here, the more magic power we will use. Although I am fine, if we delay for too long, it will not be a good thing for the three of you. "
Zhang Yan nodded. He had achieved a lot of magic power. Even if the spiritual opportunity was weak, he would use it to his advantage. However, Huo and Lu might be affected, so they had to worry about it.
He thought for a moment and said, "It is not a good plan to search like this. However, if we can use one method, it will not be difficult to find this demon. "
When the three of them looked over, he said, "The seven Glory Nails are controlled by Perfected Hua using the Xuanhui Palace's secret method. It is also recorded on the Reflecting Light Tablet. The easiest way to obtain it is to find someone to practice this skill. As long as you know how to use it, you will be able to sense the location of the treasured needle. It will be much easier to find the demon locust. "
Mu Shoushan frowned and said, "But to practice the Xuanhui Palace's secret method, you must accept Perfected Hua's teachings. The four of us are not suitable."
Although this method was simple, it was not easy to do.
The Xuanhui Palace did not have a successor. To practice it, one would have to bear the karma of the sect and pass on the teachings. Otherwise, one would not be able to see the essence of it.
Zhang Yan and Huo Xuan were the Qincang School's Third High Hall Masters. They were not suitable for this. As for Lu Junyang, he was a Guardian of the Upper Extreme Hall, so he could not do this.
As for Mu Shoushan, it was even more impossible. He was still a sinner. After killing the demon, he might even be restrained in the Little Cold Realm.
Lu Junyang said, "There is one person who can do it." He looked at them and said, "Zhou Xian 'er."
Huo Xuan lowered his head and thought. He said, "It is possible. Moreover, it is her destiny to inherit Perfected Hua's teachings. What does Hall Master Du Zhen think?"
Zhang Yan said plainly, "There is no one else suitable. For the sect's grand plan, let's do it this way."
Zhou Xuan was Qi Yuntian's disciple in name. He was not a true disciple. Although Zhou Xian 'er had Yuanying's cultivation base, her status was lower. She did not need to bear the burden of the sect. It was suitable for her to practice the secret method.
Lu Junyang said, "I will call her in now." He sat cross-legged and took out the Pearl of Revelation. He sent a strand of his spirit over.
In the palace, Guan Yingyue and Zhou Xian 'er were meditating. Suddenly, the Pearl of Revelation in front of them vibrated.
Guan Yingyue made a sound of surprise and went forward to take it. He felt a vague thought coming from inside, but it was very vague and he couldn't make it out clearly. He handed it over to Zhou Xian 'er and said, "Zhou Shizhi, take it and have a look. Do the few Zhenren have any instructions?"
Zhou Xian 'er took it and felt it. She hesitated and said, "It seems like this Perfected Master wants to call you over."
Guan Yingyue was startled. He said in a serious manner, "Since the few Perfected Masters want you to do this, there must be a reason. Go down immediately. Don't delay. I am here, there is nothing to worry about."
Zhou Xian 'er thought that she might have to face the Sky Demon when she entered and could not help but feel a trace of fear. Fortunately, she had cultivated for many years and her temperament was considered stable. In an instant, she adjusted her emotions and replied, "Then Martial Nephew will go now."
She came to the Two Realms Pass. She pressed her chest, took a deep breath, and stepped in.
In the small world, as soon as she entered, Zhang Yan sensed it. He said, "The forbidden area needs to pass through the formation. I will send her in. The three of you just need to wait here."
The three of them bowed.
Zhang Yan nodded and flew toward the place where he sensed it. An hour later, he found Zhou Xian 'er. He rolled up his sleeves and wrapped her in a cloud. He said, "I will take you to escape later. Close your seven apertures to avoid the shock of my mana."
Zhou Xian 'er did not dare to say anything. She hurriedly did as he said.
Zhang Yan rode the cloud and flew away. Twenty hours later, he returned to the place where the forbidden area was. He took Zhou Xian 'er to the stone tablet and told her about the cause and effect. Finally, he pointed at the stone tablet and said, "You can go forward and accept the Taoist method taught by Zhenren Hua."
Zhou Xian 'er's eyes were a little flustered. She bit her lips and said, "Zhenren, if I accept the Taoist method, will I be Zhenren Hua's disciple?"
Zhang Yan said, "You don't have to do this. If you don't want to study it, you can find another person to inherit the cause and effect in the future."
Zhou Xian 'er was relieved. Fortunately, he did not ask her to betray her master. If so, she would not know what to do.
She walked forward and pressed her delicate hand on the tablet. Her face suddenly appeared to be in a trance.
Zhang Yan looked at her indifferently and did not disturb her.
A few days later, Zhou Xian 'er finally came back to her senses. There were a lot of Taoist methods and supernatural powers on the tablet. She almost could not help but memorize them one by one. Fortunately, she remembered Zhang Yan's instructions and did not randomly accept the cause and effect. She only chose a secret method taught by Zhenren Hua.
Zhang Yan asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
Zhou Xian 'er shook her head and said, "The method is not difficult. I will only need a few days to get started."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I will give you ten days."
Zhou Xian 'er said yes. She sat down cross-legged and began to circulate her mana according to the acupoints recorded on the tablet.
About six days later, she withdrew from meditation and said, "Zhenren, I feel a weak feeling in the West Land. Every time I circulate the method, it resonates with my mind. I don't know if it is the location of the seven treasured nails."
"West Land?" When Zhang Yan heard this, it happened to be close to the location of Guankong Cliff. If there was no accident, they should be able to find Qing Huang this time. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know how far it is from here?"
Zhou Xian 'er seemed to be hesitant and said, "It should be very far. It is difficult to tell the distance. I dare not be sure. In the past, when I sensed the location of the magic treasure, it was difficult to detect it after seven or eight miles. I am afraid there is a mistake."
However, Zhang Yan said, "It is not a mistake. This small world is originally the magic treasure of the Xuanhui Palace. When you use the method of this sect to sense it, no matter how far the seven treasured nails go, you will be able to roughly know where they are." He thought for a while and said, "It seems that you are afraid that we will travel together, in case something unexpected happens."
He shook his sleeve and wrapped Zhou Xian 'er up. They turned into a conveyance light and went to the surface to meet up with the other three.
