At the end of the abyss, six years passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. However, there were sounds coming from within the formation, as if there were ancient ferocious beasts tumbling about, roaring continuously. After a while, it turned into a buzzing sound, as if there were billions of insects flying together.
He turned a deaf ear to it and did not pay any attention to it. After a long time, the sound finally subsided, and the place returned to silence.
However, he still did not move. Only when the Demon Vanquishing Slip flew out from between his brows and turned into a ray of clear light that flew into the depths of the formation did he open his eyes. He stood up from where he was and stepped through the formation door, arriving in front of an empty space. However, there was only a cloud of profound fog left here. It was clearly the essence left behind after the Genyin Demon's vitality was exhausted. At this moment, the Demon Vanquishing Slip had already burrowed into it and was gorging itself.
When he first discovered this demon, he had set up an ambush several times. However, this demon was extremely cunning. He did not know whether it was because it had come into contact with the underground races or because it had devoured the memories of other demons, but it refused to take the bait.
Later, after some deep consideration, he decided to use himself as bait. Only then did he successfully lure it into the formation. Until now, he had finally killed this demon.
This time, from the beginning to the end, he did not personally participate in the battle. In fact, he did not even attack once. Instead, he cleverly used the changes in the formation to trap it. Of course, if he did not have his strength here, he would not have been able to do such a thing.
This was also the first time he had purely used a formation to trap and kill a great demon. Although it took quite a lot of time, he had avoided the consumption of his Fa Li. Moreover, with the help of the Purple Clear Spiritual Qi that he had collected previously, he could still cultivate even under the heavy protection of the formation. His cultivation did not stagnate because of this.
He looked around again. This was already the edge of the formation. If someone who was proficient in formations came here, it would be equivalent to breaking out of the formation.
However, it did not mean that this demon could break out from here. In order to deal with this demon, he purposely moved over a hundred arrays to surround him. He cycled them back and forth. Even if he could break through one array, he would still have to face the second and third array. In reality, it was already not easy for this demon to come this far.
However, from the various actions it took to break through the formation, it should have come into contact with something like a formation before. Otherwise, it would be difficult for it to grasp the trick behind it. The abilities of demons were determined by their past experiences. Judging from this, this demon should have seen something similar before.
After waiting here for two months, the Demon Subduing Slip swallowed the demon completely, turned into a streak of light, and flew out.
Zhang Yan put away the Demon Subduing Slip. He realized that in the previous times he killed the Genyin Demon, even if its vitality was exhausted, it would take at most a month to absorb it completely. This time, it took such a long time, which meant that the demon he captured this time had a very thick vitality, much more than the previous ones. However, it was also born from the Turbid Yin Sea of Qi, and it had never been to the world of humanity, so the difference shouldn't be that big.
He thought about it, this might be because this demon had never met him and did not open up the Xuan Yin Fantasy Field. He thought to himself, "If that's the case, if I come here to capture demons in the future, it's best not to meet it face to face. I can just trap it with the formation, and I'll gain more."
As he was thinking, his eyes caught a glimpse of something on the ground after the Xuan Mist dissipated. It was in the shape of a disk, hollowed out in the middle, with a red dot embedded in it. It looked like a drop of congealed blood, bright and eye-catching. The outer layer was the color of white jade, and the shape was very simple.
With a thought, the item floated up and slowly came in front of him. He touched it with his hand and channeled his mana into it. Although there were some veins that could be found, there was no reaction. It was obvious that it had been destroyed long ago.
"This item looks rather similar to a formation diagram. I wonder where this demon obtained it from. Perhaps it came from one of the Subterranean Races, but native beings like them shouldn't be proficient in formations. Hmm, this Chaotic Sea of Energy is right beneath the mountains, seas, and lands. Perhaps there are some unknown secrets hidden somewhere here. “
However, he had to face the threat from the Jun Chen Realm now, so he had to think about these things later. He flipped his hand and put the item into his sleeve. Since he had already caught a Genyin Demon, there was no need for him to stay here any longer. With a tap of his feet, he rode the wind, and his sleeves fluttered. He passed through the layers of formation doors and returned to the front of the Spirit Beauty Pillar. He went up and pressed his hand on it, and his entire body disappeared into it.
Not long after, he returned above the Earth Abyss. After greeting Xue Dingyuan and the other Spiritual Sect Spiritual Masters, he left this place and rode the Boar Bull back to the mountain gate.
After a few days, he returned to the Great Hall of Duzhen. Jing You came forward and said happily, "Old Master is back."
Zhang Yan asked, "Has Yan Yi been here before?"
Jing You said, "Old Master, Spiritual Master Liu has been here for ten years." As he spoke, he carefully took out a glazed jade pot and said, "Spiritual Master Liu said that the Clear Purple Lingqi that was taken from the Shaoqing Sect is here. Old Master, please inspect it."
Zhang Yan took it and examined it silently. The Clear Purple Lingqi Fruits hidden here were about the same as what he had estimated. In addition to what the three halls had given him, it was more or less enough for his cultivation.
He pondered for a while. He didn't know how many years he would spend in seclusion this time, so he should give some guidance to his disciples. So he walked into the hall and came to the table. He drew six Talisman Talisman, every one of them was written in etchings and contained a strand of his spirit. If there were any obstacles in his cultivation, he could use this talisman to ask. He hit the bell on the table and a clear sound was heard. Shen Nu came in from outside and bowed, saying, "Old Master, what instructions do you have?"
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and sent the six Talisman Talisman down. He said, "Send these to my six disciples according to the names on the talisman."
Shen Nu took them into her arms and said, "Shen Nu will definitely send them."
Zhang Yan waited for her to leave and brought Jing You closer. He solemnly instructed, "You stay here and look after the Two Realms Dial. If there are any urgent matters, report directly to the two Hall Masters. There is no need to come and ask me." He paused and continued, "Dan Ding Courtyard is now under Zhu Ning 'er's control. She still lacks some skills but there must be no mistakes here. If there are any problems, you can ask Yan Yi to handle it appropriately."
Jing You replied, "Old Master, I will remember." Seeing that Zhang Yan had nothing else to say, he bowed and retreated.
When Zhang Yan saw that everything was ready at this moment, he paid the Hall Master's seal and closed the door to the inner hall. In a flash, the Forbidden Formations in the surroundings started to circulate and protected the entire hall. Moreover, if one looked at it from the outside at this moment, the hall in the clouds had vanished, and it seemed as if it could no longer be found.
He sat cross-legged and meditated on the praying mat. After a few hours, he took out the Stone Jade Coral and placed it in the middle of the hall. Then he went into a meditative state.
At the same time, there was spiritual light coming from the treasured tree. It coordinated with his breathing and started to circulate.
However, as the days passed, the treasured tree continued to wither and fade away, gradually turning from a tall tree into a Crystal Grass. When it was only an inch tall, Zhang Yan noticed the change and took the initiative to come out of meditation. He kept the item. Although there was still some of the treasure left, it could not be maintained for long. He still had to pry out the changes of the supernatural power. If it was used up, it would be completely useless.
He looked around and found that it had been thirty years since he started his secluded cultivation. However, no one came to inform him, which meant that the current situation was still stable. At this moment, his Twelfth Heaven hadn't fully recovered his yuan qi, and he was still far from having his root fruit. However, with the current speed of his cultivation, he believed that he would be able to reach that step in a few decades. Therefore, he calmed his mind and continued to cultivate.
There were countless meteorites floating in the Pure Spirit Heavenly Realm of Jun Chen Realm. One of them was completely different from the others. Not only was it huge, but it was also covered with strong vines that looked like dragon whiskers. Even though it was exposed in the void, it was still green and full of vitality.
The interior of this star had long been dug out and turned into many connected caves and corridors. Rao Sanren occupied the most spacious stone room in it. There was a bright pearl hanging above him. Wisps of misty light floated down and landed on him, creating layers of brilliant smoke.
This was a pearl that was nurtured within the Dragon Sovereign's body. It had the effect of strengthening the inner yuan and smoothing out the Qi. Using this to cultivate, even if he was a little impatient and rash, there would not be any unforeseen events. With this item, his cultivation had clearly increased by a lot in the past few decades.
Suddenly, the Heart Willow, which had been silent for a long time in front of the stone mansion, shook again. He frowned and opened his eyes. "So fast?"
After thinking for a moment, he shook his hand and sent out two rays of spiritual light. Not long after, Sima Quan and Deng Zhenjun walked in and bowed to him …
Rao Sanren looked at the two of them and said solemnly, "An enemy has broken in. It should be someone sent by Yuliangism. We can't stay here any longer. We need to leave as soon as possible."
Sima Quan and Deng Zhenjun were very calm. Rao Sanren had already said that this place was not safe. Therefore, the two of them had made preparations to leave the first day they entered this place.
Deng Zhenjun bowed and said, "What should we do? Please tell us, Sanren."
Rao Sanren stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Quan Ming, have you prepared the meteorites that I asked you to find?"
Sima Quan said in a deep voice, "According to Sanren's instructions, I've found a total of 120 suitable meteorites over the years."
Rao Sanren was delighted and said, "Fellow Daoist, you've done a great job. As long as you send these into the formation and send them to different boundaries, it'll be enough to cover my next destination."
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from a bronze bell hanging in the cave. Even the meteorite under their feet started to tremble.
Deng Zhenjun's expression changed and said, "Someone has passed through the formation and is currently crashing into the Qi explosion turbulence that Sanren had set up outside. They're really fast."
Rao Sanren was still calm and said, "They're still far away from here, we can set it up in time." He looked at Sima Quan. "Fellow Daoist Quan Ming, quickly move these meteorites to the front of the formation." Then he turned his gaze to Deng Zhenjun and said, "Fellow Daoist Deng, go and wipe out all traces of Qi in this place, so that we won't be captured by the intruders and thus expose our whereabouts. “
Both of them bowed and accepted the order.
Rao Sanren said confidently, "The Dragon Sovereign has left quite a few secret places. This place isn't the best, but it can stop them for forty years. It seems like it won't be difficult for it to last for two hundred years. Once I'm done, I won't have to fear anyone."
