About twenty days later, the Heaven Patching Formation had gradually reached the depths of the Northern Freezing Abyss.
Here, from time to time, one could see violent waves and tsunamis thousands of feet high, as well as violent hurricanes that could engulf everything.
In addition to cultivating, Zhang Yan had been observing the changes in this area. He could tell that cultivators below the Jindan Stage could not resist the power of nature. Only the Yuanying cultivators could come and go without any hindrance.
However, above this vast ocean, there were also countless continents, mountains, and rivers, which were natural barriers to the huge waves and storms. Because there was a pattern to it, as long as one was familiar with the changes, they could find a way to avoid it.
This was not a big problem for the cultivators of the Nine Provinces. When the Qincang School occupied this place, they could gather everyone to use their magical power, set up a great restrictive formation, and light up the spirit points to absorb the boundless power for their own use.
At this moment, the formation outside the Heaven Patching Pavilion trembled slightly, and it could be seen that a streak of blood energy was knocked away.
Zhang Yan glanced at it and no longer paid attention to it. On the way here, he had already encountered this kind of thing more than ten times.
According to what Gong Xun Zao said, every single greater demon here would smear their blood on the outside of a territory they occupied. Not only was this to delineate their territory, it was also for the sake of deterring their enemies. Most importantly, they were able to rely on their blood qi to suppress violent winds and enormous waves, so if someone were to fly in the sky, it would immediately alarm them.
As for ordinary demons, they did not dare to go near the place where the demons were, not to mention flying in the sky. Even if they tried to force their way in, they would immediately be chased down by the blood energy.
However, the Heaven Patching Formation was different. It was originally a great formation of a mountain gate. As long as the spiritual opportunity was not exhausted, even if it was surrounded by several Daoist Paradises, it would not be broken in a short period of time. Only a bit of blood energy could not be considered a hindrance.
At this moment, the demon below also felt that something was wrong. Those who could call themselves kings in the Northern Freezing Abyss were not simple characters. Just by looking at the huge fog created by the Heaven Patching Pavilion, he knew that it was not something he could deal with. He hid in the cave motionlessly, not daring to come out at all.
After another three days. Below them, another area appeared, but it was completely different from the cold and desolate scene before.
In the misty fog, the shadow of the green mountain was faintly discernible. Near the island. Spirit cliffs towered into the sky, waterfalls rumbled, and clouds and mist rose into the sky. Within the eyes of the eye, the entire mountain was verdant and filled with fragrant flowers and rare grasses, causing it to seem like an otherworldly paradise.
This place was called the Great Sky Continent, and it was a rare paradise in the Northern Heaven Frigid Abyss. Because there was a huge mountain on the outside, the wind and waves from the outside could not reach this place. The originally violent Spiritual Vigor had also become gentle and tame. However, at the same time, the number of demons and spirits that gathered here was also much higher than other places, and most of them were Floral Spirits.
Zhang Yan glanced at the map. From the markings on the map, it would take at most another ten days or so to reach the Cold Jade Ocean Continent.
However, after traveling for another quarter of an hour, he saw a crimson beam of light that was as red as blood Qi rushing into the sky, illuminating everything within a radius of several thousand kilometers in red. Meanwhile. Birds and beasts as far as the eye could see were rushing towards that direction.
Zhang Yan took a closer look and saw that under the crimson light, there were strange trees that were shaped like peach trees. However, their roots protruded out of the ground and were shaped like claws, firmly clinging onto the stone mountain walls. On the branches, there were fruits that were as red as blood, and some of them looked like they were enshrouded in mist. Some of them looked like they were not yet ripe, and some of them were swaying. They were already ripe, and looked like they would fall with just a slight touch.
He could feel that these fruits were unusual, and thinking about how Zhou Chongju was looking for medicinal ingredients everywhere, he raised his hand and turned his mana on the array pivot, fixing the array map. He said to Jing You, "Go and invite Fellow Daoist Gong here."
Gong Xunzao had been meditating in the side hall these days, and upon hearing the invitation, he immediately came over.
After greeting him, Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and revealed the scene below. He asked, "Fellow Daoist Gong, what is this, do you recognize it?"
Gong Xunzao looked at the fruit trees, and his whole body shook, "Blood-guiding Fruit?"
Then, his expression became excited, and he said, "Shangzhen, quickly order people to harvest these fruits before it's too late."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Gong, don't be impatient. These fruits are Just Now Ripening, and they won't run away even if they are placed here. Why don't you tell me what they do first?"
Gong Xunzao changed his mind. With the strength of these people from beyond the heavens, even if demons from near and far came, they wouldn't be a match for them. These fruits were actually already in the bag.
Thinking about this, he calmed down and said, "Shangzhen, this Blood-guiding Fruit only ripens in the Plentiful Sky Continent. Legend has it that it blooms once every thousand years, and it fades in a single day. If one consumes it, not only can it replenish one's Qi and blood, it can also strengthen one's foundation, and it can also improve one's cultivation. If it was in the Eastern Barren Territory, it would be something that everyone would fight for. When I was young, I was fortunate enough to see one, and at that time, I took a bite. It was also because of this that I was able to strengthen my foundation. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed, and I didn't expect to see it again today, and there are actually … so many of them."
Zhang Yan smiled and asked again, "Is this fruit useful to demons?"
Gong Xunzao's expression turned serious, and he said, "It's useful, of course it's useful! If an ordinary bird or beast eats it, it can immediately transform into a demon. If a great demon eats it, it can also refine its Qi and blood, and it might even obtain one or two supernatural powers. If Shangzhen doesn't want to take it, then I would rather destroy it than leave it for the demons. "
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "It's not easy for this fruit to grow. If the demons sent people to watch over it, it wouldn't be difficult. However, there isn't a single demon nearby, only some ordinary wild beasts. Is there anything special about it?"
Gong Xunzao said, "There's a reason for this. This fruit has another name in the Hundred Countries of Eastern Wasteland, it's called 'The Lord Does Not See'. If there's a spiritual being staring at it or staying close to it, it won't blossom and bear fruit. Only when the fruit grows can it be plucked, but that's only for a day. That's why it's even more precious."
Zhang Yan pondered for a while. For cultivators, cultivation only required spiritual vigor, and there was no need to nourish their Qi and blood. However, Gong Xunzao was a disciple of the Duke of Eastern Wasteland, and even he had only seen one fruit very rarely. It was enough to show that this fruit was very precious. Zhang Yan didn't want to exchange it, and only sent it to the Danding Courtyard. Who knows, it might be refined into some kind of medicinal pill. He then said to Jing You, "Later, pass down my order. If any Zhenren from each sect is interested in this fruit, they can go and pluck it."
He then turned to Gong Xunzao and said, "Fellow Daoist Gong, why don't you come along too?"
When Gong Xunzao heard this, he was instantly excited. He put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Great Zhen." Then, he hurriedly retreated. It seemed like he was afraid that if he was a few steps slower, all the fruits would be taken by others.
After watching him leave, Jing You came up and asked, "Master, do you want me to inform the Shen Fang Country's messenger?"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly.
Jing You immediately knew what to do and said, "I'll go now."
After a while, the clouds above the Heaven Patching Formation dispersed. One by one, cultivators from the nine continents floated down from the sky and went straight to the Blood-guiding Fruit Trees.
Behind them, a few Dongtian Zhenrens appeared. As soon as they reached the outside, they released their Qi dynamic, and rays of clear spiritual light instantly pierced through the heaven and earth.
The ordinary beasts below couldn't even rush into the rainbow-colored light formed by the fruit trees. Some of the demons who had awakened their spiritual intelligence were extremely frightened when they saw this scene, and they ran back at a speed faster than when they came. Only a few great demons who were confident in their magical power were unwilling to retreat just like that. They still lingered outside the formation, but they didn't dare to go any closer.
After Gong Xunzao came down from the formation, he sent out all the servants and soldiers who came with him.
Once these fruits came into contact with the blood Qi and spiritual vigor, they would be absorbed into the body, and couldn't be absorbed by magical power. Thus, he could only send people to pluck them one by one.
At this moment, he glanced around and saw another group of people coming down. He recognized them as the people from Shen Fang Country, and he couldn't help but snort. However, he couldn't stop them at this moment, and could only urge the people below to move faster.
With the cooperation of the cultivators of the nine continents and the people of the two countries, in less than two hours, more than half of the Blood-guiding Fruit Trees had been plucked. The remaining ones, which hadn't completely ripened, immediately stopped growing after being rushed by the people's Qi dynamic.
After the fruits were plucked, the branches and leaves of the fruit trees became withered and gray, as if they had lost all vitality in an instant. It would take thousands of years for them to return to their original state.
Han Zaiyang and Du Yunzhan, the two Spiritual Masters of the Qincang School, were standing together at this moment. When the former saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "If someone from the Taihao School was here, they might be able to use these fruits to plant the tree again."
Du Yunzhan said, "The cultivation method of this school is also passed down from ancient times in the nine continents. It should be useful in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Perhaps we can find some people to cultivate it."
The entire Taihao School had been destroyed in the Calamity of Humans, and not a single disciple had survived. However, the ancient scrolls and records were still there.
Han Zaiyang said, "This is no small matter. It won't be too late to discuss it at the next meeting."
Du Yunzhan thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
As the cultivators of the nine continents paused for a moment, Cha Qingyi's wisp of divine sense was already outside the Frigid Jade Sea Prefecture.
On a verdant tree, a hanging green fruit suddenly swelled up like a balloon, then fell to the ground with a thud. Its outer shell cracked, and a long worm burrowed out.
The worm rolled on the ground, then transformed into a human.
Cha Qingyi crawled up from the ground and waved his hand, causing the countless rotten leaves on the ground to transform into a green robe.
He had planted this clone more than a thousand years ago, and it had accumulated enough life force to support his transformation.
Along the way, his divine sense had used countless clones, but he had spent a great deal of effort over the past thousand years, personally planting each one of them.
He looked up at a dark green mountain in the distance that pierced the sky. That was where the Radiant Extermination Bird Clan lived, Mount Whiteshroud.
However, it was still more than 50,000 kilometers away from here.
It wasn't that he didn't want to plant his clone closer, but that if he went any closer, he feared that the blood qi left behind by the Green Nightmare Demon King would scatter it.
Because of this, he couldn't fly high in the sky, and could only travel along the ground.
However, he didn't have anything to prove his identity. If he went over now, he would definitely be killed by the demon birds patrolling the perimeter. Therefore, he needed to make some preparations. He opened his hand, and dozens of strange worms burrowed out of his palm and burrowed into the nearby tree.
One day, figures that looked exactly like him appeared. With a slight command from him, one of them suddenly dashed out and charged into the blood qi barrier.
