Xuan Qi rolled in the sky, and then the clouds parted, revealing a giant single-horned beast with four short limbs and thick fur. With a deep moo, it slowly descended.
Zhang Yan was wearing a black cloak, and he was sitting on the back of the beast. During this period of time, he did not seclude himself in the sect, but went to the Void Sky to collect Qi in preparation for the next seclusion. Because in a few months, it would be the time of Zhou Chongju's reincarnation, so he came back from the Void Sky first.
During this trip, he discovered that the ox-porpoise that Zhang Chanjin offered him was unexpectedly useful. This beast was very intelligent. It only needed to be taught once for it to be able to distinguish where the spiritual vigor of the Purple Clear Sky was thick and where it was thin.
Moreover, this beast could travel freely in the void, so there was no need for him to waste time looking for Qing Ling. All he had to do was meditate on its back and when he reached the boundary, he could pluck it. After two months, the harvest was more than what he had gained in the past half a year.
Seeing that they were almost at the Floating Sky Palace, he stood up from the beast's back and said, "You can go look for food."
After saying that, he leaped down and landed on the outer hall of the Duzhen Hall. With another thought, the Duzhen Hall Master's seal on his body shone brightly, and a formation door appeared in front of him. He stepped into it, and when he reappeared, he was already in the inner hall.
When he sat down, there was a flash of light in front of him, and the formation spirit appeared from the ▽. It bowed and said, "Welcome back, Master."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly, and said, "I just saw that the number of disciples patrolling outside is several times more than before. Did anything big happen in the sect during the months I was away?"
The formation spirit said, "There is indeed one thing. Not long after Master left, there were cultivators from the Jun Chen Realm sneaking into our Mountain and Sea Realm. One of them seems to be a descendant of the Gong Clan of the Eastern Wasteland, and now he has been captured. It is said that there is more than one of them, and the rest of them are hiding somewhere. So Spiritual Master Qi increased the number of people patrolling, and sped up the construction of the formation. To prevent this person from sneaking in. "
When Zhang Yan heard that the Jun Chen Realm cultivators were here, he instantly understood that it was the same as when he had sent Sima Quan to that place. They had been sent here to scout.
However, this was actually a piece of good news. It meant that the opponent was very cautious and would not dare to act blindly without understanding the situation. It seemed that he would have more time to prepare for his cultivation.
He asked a few more questions, but the Formation Spirit's knowledge was limited. Most of it came from the mouths of the cultivators outside. He didn't know the specifics of the situation, so he waved his sleeve and ordered Jing You to leave. He flicked his finger and a spiritual light flew out of the hall. After a while, Jing You came into the hall and bowed. "This lowly one greets Master, Just Now this lowly one is being held up by the leader of the Mastiff tribe, He Fang. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you in time. "
Zhang Yan asked curiously, "He Fang? Why is he looking for you? "
Jing You replied, "Master, the Mountain and Sea Realm is rich in spiritual opportunity, and it's also a vast land mass. He Fang hopes that Master will allow him to exile his clan members who have committed crimes and allow them to live in this realm. If this is done, the descendants of this tribe are willing to be Master's vassals for generations to come. "
The Mastiffs were a tribe of the Mountain and Sea Realm. They were captured by the Great Underworld Patriarch from the Outer World and used as slaves.
However, they had always only respected the previous Hall Master Du Zhen. In other words, they only respected the position, not the people. If Zhang Yan wasn't the Mastiff, they wouldn't listen to his orders. However, as long as he was the Hall Master, even if the previous Hall Master Zhuo Yuming returned, he wouldn't be able to order them around.
Zhang Yan thought about it and immediately understood He Fang's goal. To these Mastiffs, deep down in their hearts, they didn't want to be slaves here for generations.
The leader of the Mastiffs, He Fang, was quite quick-witted. The so-called "crimes" were just an excuse. He just wanted to find a way out for his tribesmen.
He thought about it for a moment. Although he had no use for these Hou people, he could make them guards for his disciples. He said, "Later, go tell He Fang that I agree to his request. In this world, if there are any other clans that want to move their clansmen to live outside, I can also let them go."
Jing You said, "That's not true. It's just that these Mastiffs who love to eat raw meat have big thoughts. Those Jing people are very obedient and are afraid that Master will chase them out."
Zhang Yan said, "If there's something like this in the future, you can arrange it yourself. There's no need to ask me."
Jing You nodded and asked carefully, "Master, why are you looking for me Just Now?"
Zhang Yan said, "Just Now, I heard that cultivators from the Jun Chen Realm have sneaked into this world. Tell me in detail."
Jing You naturally knew about this matter in great detail, and told the whole story from beginning to end.
After Zhang Yan heard it, he thought for a while and said, "The cultivators of the Jun Chen Realm should have talismans to hide their aura. This should be done by the monarchs of the realm. It might even be that Kong Ying. Plus, the west is boundless. No wonder the Daoists of the sects didn't wait for this person."
Jing You said, "Master, could it be that the cultivators of the Jun Chen Realm haven't gone far and are still hiding in the four borders waiting for a chance?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Previously, they indeed had a chance, but now that the sects have strengthened their guard and there is also the Earth Vein Spiritual Opportunity Formation, if they dare to make a move, they will immediately be discovered by us. If they stay, they can't do anything. The only way to survive is to avoid the Barren Land."
The cultivators of the Jun Chen Realm took one wrong step after another. Previously, they thought that they could use their relationship with the Gong Family to make the Eastern Barren Country cooperate with them. But they didn't know that things were different now. Instead, they exposed their existence and fell into a disadvantageous situation.
Just as they were talking, a disciple on duty outside the hall said, "Hall Master, Just Now, there's a letter coming in from outside."
Zhang Yan ordered him to bring it over. He opened it and said in surprise, "So Enlightened Master Xue has entered the Mortal Transformation Realm." He nodded and said, "This is good news."
All these years, because there were no ascended Enlightened Masters in the Spirit Gate, they couldn't defend against the attacks of the demonic ancestor. That was why he kept the divine beast Black Tortoise in the abyss. Now, he could summon it back.
Reading further, Xue Dingyuan said that he could use the Spirit Return Great Spirit Stele to set up Shen Qi in the west sky. If the cultivators of the Jun Chen Realm came, they could drag them into an illusion. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about the situation of the nine continents being discovered. However, he wasn't strong enough and needed help. That was why he sent a letter to ask for help.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he smiled and understood the intention of the other party to send this letter.
Xue Dingyuan's spell this time was to land on Shaoqing's land. However, the problem was that Sect Master Yue was still beyond the sky, and Ying Chunqiu was still in seclusion. No one knew if he had succeeded.
Under such circumstances, Xue Dingyuan couldn't act rashly. There were no cultivators with similar skills present. Even the Shaoqing cultivators were willing to let him try. If he didn't act rashly, he wouldn't be able to explain himself if something happened here in the future. That was why he sent a letter to discuss with Zhang Yan. He invited him to come along so that he could be a witness. As for helping him, it was just an excuse.
After reading the letter, Zhang Yan decided to move out immediately. After all, this was related to the safety of the nine continents. It wasn't convenient to delay it. After giving a few instructions, he stood up and left the hall. He called out in his heart and heard a mooing sound. The ox-porpoise floated over from the sky. It prostrated in front of him.
He flew through the air and sat down on the couch. With a call, the ox-porpoise floated up and went into the sky. Then, it teleported in the southwest direction.
A month later, he arrived in front of the abyss. Looking down, he saw mountain ranges and shadows of mountains. The abyss was nowhere to be seen. He circulated his martial arts to take a closer look. However, the mountains and rivers were lumps of blurry mist.
He thought, "This should be the arrangement of this Sect Master Xue. However, it's quite similar to the Profound Yin Fantasy Realm. Once outsiders come here, they'll only be able to go around in this fantasy realm without the permission of the person who cast the spell. They won't be able to reach the entrance of the abyss in the real world."
At that moment, a mist gathered and a human figure gathered. Xue Dingyuan appeared in front of him. He cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Zhang, I'm really uneasy to trouble you to come here."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Daoist Xue, you're too courteous. I know your worries. Since I'm from the sects of the nine continents, I will go with you."
Xue Dingyuan said, "Thank you, Daoist Xue."
Zhang Yan said, "It's alright. Is the method that Daoist Xue is using what I see in front of me?"
Xue Dingyuan said, "It's slightly similar, but also different. The abyss is only ten thousand miles in circumference. It won't take long to set it up. The Western Wasteland is vast. We'll need to borrow the Spirit Return Great Spiritual Tablet to spread the sea serpent qi among the spiritual vigor. It won't show any illusions. What we see on normal days will be the same as before."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Daoist Xue's method is good. If the Jun Chen Realm fails this time, there will be a next time. With your sea serpent qi, we can make them send some false information back."
Xue Dingyuan smiled and asked, "Do you want me to exaggerate?"
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head, "There's no need for that. If we exaggerate too much, not only will it make the other party suspicious, it will also show that we're weak. They can try their best to belittle us. It's fine even if we exaggerate a little. With Kong Yin's ability, the more we exaggerate, the less he will act rashly."
Xue Dingyuan nodded and suddenly asked, "What if he really comes?"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "We've never been able to control when the Jun Chen Realm cultivators will come. If he really comes, it'll just be a battle."
On the vast plains, the elder and Song Zhenjun traveled to the west. They were already deep in the Western Continent.
They were very patient. Since they didn't have a chance in the near future, they were prepared to lie low and go back to scout for information after a dozen years. As for the Wanbei Worms, they were fine as long as they didn't take them out and kept them in the worm sack.
They traveled for a few months and went further and further away. As they were cultivators of the Qi Path, they yearned for clean air. After traveling underground for a long time, they felt suffocated. Thus, they concealed themselves and came to the surface to bathe in the sunlight and spiritual vigor.
When they were outside, what they saw was the vast land. There were countless demonic horses galloping on the plains. The scene was spectacular and they felt relieved.
Song Zhenjun looked into the distance. Suddenly, his divine power moved and he said, "True Lord Wu, look at that mountain in the distance. Doesn't it look like a dilapidated palace?"
The crowned elder turned his head to take a look, and after a moment, he said, "Now that you mention it, it really does look a little similar. Moreover, it's not just this place, the surrounding mountains seem to be the same, as if they were originally one."
The two of them looked at each other and were shocked.
If the surrounding scattered mountains were all a broken corner of the same palace, then the scale of the palace would be unimaginable.
The elder said in a deep voice, "Since we're here, let's go and take a look. We might find something."
Song Zhenjun agreed.
The two of them rose at the same time and flew toward one of the mountains.
