Zhang Yan entered the Heavenly Karma Pillar and with the help of the pillar's spiritual light, he quickly went below the hundredth floor. If he continued to walk deeper, he would arrive at the boundless Chaotic Qi Sea that nurtured countless demonic creatures.
As long as he was trapped in this Qi, the demon's primordial essence Qi was almost inexhaustible. Even if he could capture and refine them, he did not know how long it would take. It was unwise to fight with them here, so the best way was to lure them out.
Therefore, he did what he did last time. He first set up a restrictive formation on top of it, and then he created a magical clone.
This place was formed by the purest turbid yin spiritual vigor. This bit of clear spiritual Qi was extremely eye-catching, like a bright lamp in the dark night, instantly attracting countless demonic creatures.
However, before they arrived, they had already started fighting.
Devils would also devour each other. In reality, a large portion of them were killed by their own kind. However, with the existence of this endless turbid air, there would still be an endless stream of them being produced. If not for this, some great devils would have already rushed to the surface.
After a while, there were finally three demonic creatures that survived on the field. They stopped biting each other and rushed towards the clone.
These few demons had not reached the level of the great demon, so they did not have much intelligence. They only acted based on their instincts, and at best, they were equal to the low-level cultivators. They could not even shake the clone's Qi dynamic.
Zhang Yan did not refuse any of them. He lured them into the restrictive formation and killed them one by one. The remaining essence Qi was then absorbed by him using the Demon Subduing Slip.
In the next few days, he went to other places to set up formations, and even found the restrictive formation that he left behind the last time he came here. Because the formation artifacts he used were all top grade, even though it had been more than a hundred years and much of the turbid Qi had corroded it, it was still in good condition. It could be used after a little repair, which saved him a lot of effort.
He looked at the formation and thought to himself, I might need to use it here again. Since it's rare for me to come down, I might as well make more arrangements.
Although he had brought quite a number of array artifacts this time, it seemed to be insufficient if he wanted to act according to the plan in his mind. However, above him were the Six Sects of Spiritual Sect. Now that they had occupied the Heavenly Karma Pillar, in order to prevent Devils from entering by mistake, almost every layer was guarded by array formations and disciples were sent to guard it. It was extremely convenient for him to come and go, and he could borrow it from them. Thus, he changed his mind and sent a doppelganger up while he himself guarded here.
However, two months later, the avatar returned with a large number of formation artifacts. He began to wander around, setting up formations everywhere he went.
As most of the Devil's Doctrine's artifacts were activated by the turbid spiritual opportunity, and most of them were targeted at Devils, they could also be targeted at invisible changes. It was very suitable to place them here. Even after some of them were set up, he did not need to look at them at all. They would automatically kill the Devils that came in. As for the remaining essence Qi, it was naturally absorbed into the Demon Subduing Slip.
As for Devils and the like, it was not so easy to kill them. Because they already had spiritual intelligence, they were very cunning and would not rush into the formation recklessly. There must be enough bait. However, there were some things to pay attention to. He needed to let the discovered Devils have a taste of sweetness first, then he could lure them into the bait.
He had done it once before, and this time he was familiar with the process. With a thought, he released a few avatars of mana. These were all manifestations of mana, and only a wisp of consciousness existed. After a long time, or after fighting for a long time, they would dissipate on their own.
He did this on purpose. The Devils could also sense the changes in the avatars. These Devils had been wandering in the turbid Yin Sea for a long time, and had never come into contact with the mortal world. Naturally, they did not know the trick. They only knew that swallowing the avatars before they completely dissipated would be beneficial to themselves. No matter how cunning the Devils were, sometimes they had to succumb to their instincts. It was like this previously, and they were repeatedly captured by him. This time, they used the same old trick again.
After staying below the hundredth level for a year, not only had Zhang Yan taken in a large number of devils, he had also captured four Sky Devils. Moreover, he had refined all of them into the Devil Subduing Jade Slip for future use.
Originally, it was about time for him to stop at this point. However, just when he was about to leave, his movements paused. He vaguely had a feeling that if he could draw over a little more of that mysterious thing, it might be able to be of use in the battle in the future.
However, to achieve this, he needed more tyrannical Devils, which meant that he had to stay here for a longer time.
After careful consideration, he decided to stay here for another three years. At that time, he would leave no matter what he gained. As for the lost cultivation time, he could use the Jade Stone to make up for it. At least for another ten years, the treasure would not be exhausted.
Thinking of this, he sat down again and continued to guard the Restrictive Formation.
Soon, another year had passed. As his Dharma Power Doppelgangers traveled further and further away, the range of the restrictions he set up became wider and wider. During this period, he also asked for some magic tools from the Spirit Querying Sect to set up the restrictions. This place could already be considered a large formation disk.
Suddenly, he felt that something was amiss. One of his mana avatars actually lost contact with him in an instant. His expression changed, and with a thought, his body had already escaped through the void and arrived at the place where the Dharma avatar disappeared.
After inspecting the place, he found that the Restrictive Formation was not damaged, which meant that the person who came came through the Formation Door. At the very least, that person should know about the changes in the Restrictive Formation. Ordinary Devils could not even think about it, not even Heavenly Devils. Only the Genyin Demon could do this.
The light in his eyes deepened. Originally, he was not very enthusiastic about the Genyin Demon this time. Such a Devil was not easy to deal with. Although the Restrictive Formation was good, its effect was very limited when used on such a Devil.
Not to mention that it was intelligent, it could sometimes control Heavenly Devils for its own use. Previously, in order to deal with this person, he had really put in a lot of effort. In the past twenty years, only two Devils had fallen into his trap, which showed how difficult it was. Right now, what he lacked was time.
However, after thinking about it again, since it had taken the initiative to come here this time, he could not sit back and watch. If he ignored it and allowed it to keep watching at the side, even if it did not attack, it would still be a great threat. And if other Heavenly Devils came here, they might be used or chased away, which would disrupt his plans. After thinking about it, he sat down cross-legged and took out the Devil Subduing Slip, waiting for it to come to him again.
In the Jun Chen Realm, Gong Xiao returned to the Earth Star and found that there was already an envoy sent by the sect waiting for him. The envoy asked if he had caught Rao Wanderer.
Gong Xiao said, "Go back and tell the sect master that Rao Jifeng is already prepared. This time, I tried my best but could not catch up to him. After I find his whereabouts, I will naturally go after him. I will not let the sect master down."
The envoy did not dare to ask too much. After a bow, he took his leave.
A white-haired Daoist nearby walked over. Watching the envoy leave, he asked, "My lord, will Sect Master Kong punish me for saying such words?"
Gong Xiao, however, had a calm expression and said, "Kong Ying is currently splitting up to eliminate the hidden dangers. Let's end this matter here. I still need to contribute to the conquest of the Green Sky Realm. I will be more forceful, and he will not do anything to me."
Just as he expected, another envoy came not long later. However, in the edict he brought, there was not a single word of reprimand. Instead, it comforted him.
After sending off the envoy, the white-haired Daoist said worriedly, "Now that the sect master is so easy to talk to, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to my lord if we conquer the Green Sky Realm in the future."
Gong Xiao turned his gaze and said, "You think that we will definitely win this time?"
The white-haired Daoist hesitated and said, "With the sect master around, can we not win this battle?"
Gong Xiao said, "It is true that we have a chance of winning this time, but in my opinion, it is only a matter of time. If those cultivators of the nine continents are really that easy to deal with, he and Yang Chuan could have taken care of them last time. This means that there is at least one person with great divine ability who can threaten him there."
The white-haired Daoist's heart trembled and he said, "My lord is thinking …"
However, Gong Xiao laughed and said, "What can I think? I am not thinking of anything, but let me ask you, if a great opportunity presented itself before your eyes, would you let it go? "
The white-haired Daoist immediately did not dare to continue.
Gong Xiao looked at him and laughed again. He changed the topic and said, "Kong Ying is a man who still follows the rules. As long as you succeed, even if you disrespect him, he will not come looking for trouble with you. If I use all my tricks, Rao Jifeng may not be able to escape. But why should I do that? If there is no one to lead the way, where can I find the good stuff that the old dragon left behind? “
The white-haired Daoist was stunned for a moment. Then, he revealed a look of disbelief and said, "My lord, are you talking about that Dragon God?"
Gong Xiao said, "Rao Jifeng once used the essence of dragon blood to reject me. It is obvious that he has obtained the legacy of the old dragon. The other place where he stayed is one of the Dragon God's lairs. After that, he used a passageway to escape without a trace. In this realm, other than our Order and the Qi Accumulation Palace, there is only one person who can create this item."
The white-haired Daoist immediately understood what he meant. He said excitedly, "My lord, if we can occupy this place, our race will definitely prosper."
Gong Xiao nodded and said, "That Dragon God has lived for tens of thousands of years. The treasures he has accumulated are innumerable. Even if Rao Jifeng did not obtain all of them, he should have obtained a part of them. I cannot force him too much. Otherwise, he will feel that he is no match for us and will definitely come to our side. That will instead benefit our leaders and I will not get any benefits."
The white-haired Daoist said excitedly, "My lord, what should we do next?"
Gong Xiao said calmly, "Of course we will wait. I have already found someone to break the formation. When it is done, it will not be difficult to find their whereabouts. Before that, we will let them roam freely for a while."
The white-haired Daoist lowered his head and thought for a while. He said uncertainly, "Then … when the leader knows about this, will he also interfere?"
Gong Xiao said, "The leader has no intention of meddling. Otherwise, the messenger who came Just Now would not be so easy to deal with."
The white-haired Daoist suddenly realized that everything that Gong Xiao was doing Just Now was just to test Kong Yin's attitude. Only when the Order agreed that the old dragon's legacy would belong to him, would he continue to contribute.
Gong Xiao lowered his voice and said, "But don't be too optimistic. Kong Yin won't give us much time to wait. I'm guessing that in thirty to forty years at most, the sect will be able to pacify all the heavens. When that time comes, we won't be able to see any results. They'll find someone to replace me. That's why we have to kill this person before that happens."
