Zhang Yan watched from the outside for a long time. He then returned to the Sky-Scraping Vessel and drove the vessel to wander around the land. Three months had passed since then.
In reality, there was no turning of time here because the rocks and mountains outside did not even have the slightest movement. It was as if they were frozen silhouettes. However, he could deduce the passage of time based on the consumption of his spiritual vigor.
There was no spiritual vigor here, so he could not absorb external Qi to replenish his body. He could only rely on the great medicine that he brought from the sect for cultivation.
He tried to retreat but he realized that the way out was not yet closed. However, he did not have the strength to push it open and he was always a step away.
This should be the reason why the Spirit Comprehending Contract was not completed. Based on this, if he did not find the root fruit in the end, he would probably never be able to get out.
He was not nervous about this. He had brought a lot of Purple Pure Medicine with him. It would not be a problem for him to maintain it for hundreds of years. This period of time was enough for him to find a way.
However, under such circumstances, if other people who owned the Devil's Trove came here, if they stayed for a long time and did not prepare well, they might die before they met their peers. Moreover, the possibility of meeting each other on such a vast and boundless road was too small.
Looking at the behavior of the person behind the Devil's Trove, he had been walking the path of encouraging peers to kill each other. There was no reason for it to change here. Therefore, there must be something that he did not understand. It might be the key to finding the root fruit.
He thought about it carefully. After he arrived here, no matter where he went, the feeling of the root fruit did not change. This meant that there would be no result if he continued like this. He needed to find another way.
Moreover, this was from the demonic nature. Since it could lead him here, there must be some kind of connection between it and the root fruit. Under the situation where there was no other way, it was highly possible to find a breakthrough from here.
When he thought of this, he sat down cross-legged and continued to urge the devilish nature. But this time, there was no change for a long time, but he didn't give up because of this. Instead, he unswervingly continued. Around three years later, the devilish nature finally produced an undetectable throbbing, and the root fruit seemed to have become slightly clearer.
He suddenly understood that he had found the right direction.
However, it did not seem like it was a test from the person behind the Devil's Trove. Although it looked simple, it was not easy to get through it. If his will was slightly shaken, he might fail. Especially for those who cultivated in the path of strength, they would not have such patience.
After some thought, he realized that it was not normal for the root fruit to be so hard to sense. This might have something to do with the fact that he had weakened the demonic nature before. This strand of demonic nature had already been manipulated by him to the point where it could not be ground away. It was probably because of this reason that it was so hard to sense it. If it was someone else, if they did not deliberately suppress this thing, perhaps it would not be so difficult.
However, he did not regret it. The influence of the demonic nature was too great, and he had already sensed the danger from the start. If he allowed it to spread and overflow, he might slowly be affected by it and become someone who was no longer himself. Just because of this, this little obstacle before him was nothing.
Although his demonic nature would continue to grow as he activated it, he was no longer at the same level of cultivation as before. After he severed the past, no matter how much it grew, it would no longer be able to affect his temperament. Unless the demonic nature suddenly underwent a fundamental change, even if that happened, it would only happen after he found the root fruit, not now. Fortunately, this demonic nature was not as strong as before. Before it really went out of control, he was confident that he could suppress it first.
As he concentrated on practicing, the feeling of the root fruit became stronger. In the end, his body shook and it seemed like another world opened up in front of him.
Looking out, he suddenly had a strange feeling. He seemed to be at the same place, but not at the same place. On the surface, there seemed to be no change, but in fact, there was a layer, like the scene in a mirror. If Just Now was in the "surface of the world", then at this moment, it was like stepping into the "inside of the world".
But this was not the end. It was only a slight step forward towards the root fruit. There was still a long way to go. In other words, he had not yet come into contact with the source of this cultivation method. He was still unable to sort out himself on this Dao and face himself.
He realized that the road down would be even more difficult. But it was better to have a path to follow than to be clueless.
He did not move forward immediately. Instead, he tried to take a step back. In an instant, he retreated from the "Inner World" and returned to the original surface of the world.
After doing this, he nodded inwardly. It seemed that he could still retreat from the place he had passed. It was not as solid as the blockade outside.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. He found that this was actually a kind of magical transformation that could allow him to escape to places that were difficult for the enemy to know. Perhaps with the Divine Contract, he could use it, but he did not know this method in the past. But now, under the guidance of the demonic nature, and through personal experience, he learned it in an instant.
"If that's the case, the further I go, the more Divine Abilities and techniques I can learn."
In this case, he hoped that the road would be longer. So he adjusted his Qi, calmed his mind, and continued to practice the cultivation method.
Not long after, he felt another layer of obstruction. But this time, it was a little strange. There were actually two paths to choose from. Moreover, on the surface, there seemed to be no difference between them. No matter how he urged the demonic nature, it was impossible to distinguish between them.
He pondered for a while but did not stop for long. Since he could not see through the details, there was no need to stay here. He would first choose a path and use his heart to understand the key points. If he felt that something was wrong, he could just retreat.
With this thought in mind, he followed his senses and suddenly felt his body become heavy. He was no longer in a certain space, but was flying at high speed. At this time, the root fruit had also undergone another change. It was no longer nailed to the ground, but it was constantly changing. Every time it noticed something, it would arrive at another place again.
This was like the starlight in the sky. What he clung to was only the shadow of the past and not the real substance. If he could not catch up, he could only chase after it and never get close to its true location.
However, he did not retreat because of this. Just Now, he realized that this place was similar to that inexplicable space. It was just that if he did not observe carefully, he would not be able to detect it. In this space, what the physical body could not achieve did not mean that the Divine Decree could not be achieved.
Thus, he sat down, extended his Divine Will, and successfully followed. However, in the next moment, his Divine Will seemed to expand abruptly and continuously extended outwards, reaching a boundless land. In an instant, it pierced through the boundaries of the past and the future.
At this time, he finally truly felt the power of the root fruit. In reality, this thing was everywhere, and it had always been by his side. It was just that in an instant, it could change thousands of times, and without the correct method, it would be difficult to see anything.
But this did not mean that he had already obtained the root fruit. Although he could follow with his Divine Decree, it seemed that he was still missing a key point, and ultimately could not merge into one.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt that his Divine Decree was rapidly being consumed. Obviously, the pursuit of the root fruit had brought about a great burden, so he immediately rotated his vitality to replenish the damage. But this was not a long-term plan. No matter how deep the foundation of a person was, there would come a time when they could not support it.
But since the demonic nature had guided him to this place, it could not be a dead end. There must be a solution. After thinking for a while, he more or less knew where to go. With a call in his mind, the Devil Slip immediately flew out, and it poured the inexplicable thing into his body, constantly replenishing his vitality.
As soon as this inexplicable thing appeared, it seemed to have triggered something, as if a gap had been opened. Endless inexplicable things were born out of thin air, and they all surged towards his body.
At this moment, he could clearly distinguish that these inexplicable things did not come from one place, but from countless spaces. Moreover, their existence was extremely short, and it was impossible to sense them individually. Only when he, the demonic nature, and the root fruit resonated with each other could he use the Devil Slip to activate them. But if he could not follow the rotation of the root fruit, everything would stop.
He immediately understood that the divine ability being performed here was to let him know how to actively absorb those inexplicable things to replenish his body's deficiencies.
If he could really do this, then his body could be said to have reached the "Unbreakable Realm", and even if he met someone who had severed the past and future, he could still fight them head-on.
But before this, he had to obtain the root fruit. Otherwise, if he left this place, without the guidance of the demonic nature, it would be extremely difficult for him to use this method.
But just this alone was not enough to help him obtain the root fruit. After a long time, he understood that if he continued to stay here, he might not be able to achieve what he wanted, so he retreated and headed in another direction.
As soon as he arrived here, he immediately discovered that this place also used Divine Decree, so he abandoned his body, lightly leapt, and arrived in a chaotic space.
At this moment, he was surprised to find that he was standing on an island. The wind was blowing, the sea was green, and the sky was blue. What was strange was that his cultivation level was only at the first stage of the Strength Path. In front of him, there was a young cultivator with a murderous look looking at him coldly. From the aura of his body, his cultivation level was also the same as his.
This person looked at him a few times and said coldly, "Between us, only one can walk out of here alive. I hope you do not disappoint me."
Zhang Yan's eyes moved slightly. He did not expect his opponent to appear at this time. He had thought about it before. Usually, the owner of the Demonic Treasury could come here after reaching the fifth transformation in the Strength Path. Wouldn't that be too easy for someone with such a high cultivation level like him?
Now he finally understood that in this place where the Divine Decree resided, what appeared here was very likely only a reflection of the future of both parties. It was impossible to use cultivation level to bully the opponent.
However, he was not afraid at all. Just Now, he tried it. Although he could not use normal treasures here, the techniques that he cultivated would not disappear because of this.
It should be known that he had not only mastered the Strength Path Body, but also the Qi Path Cultivation. Moreover, he had cultivated every stage to the extreme. Putting aside his fighting ability, no one in the same realm could surpass him in terms of the depth of his foundation.
Qi and strength combined could make up for each other's deficiencies. In addition, he did not lose the most convenient sword pill, which meant that he could still use the Flying Sword Technique. In this way, he did not have any shortcomings. In the same realm, he could easily defeat opponents who only had one technique. Immediately, with a thought, a sword chime sounded, and a bright sword light flew out.
