Zhang Yan pondered for a while and realized that although there were no ripples on the surface, there was a turbulent undercurrent underneath.
For example, taking Ju Rong as an example, he and his Junior Brothers had been asked to kill many cultivators in the past. However, if one were to pay attention, one would realize that many of them were from sects that were slightly inclined towards Green Jade Palace. There were also some who were not, but the number was relatively small.
This was interesting. He guessed that Ju Rong was probably a chess piece thrown out by one of the parties to participate in the battle.
If this speculation was true, the person behind Ju Rong would definitely not give up on the divine item left behind by the Great Underworld Patriarch.
However, he was not afraid. If this person dared to come again, he would just kill him with his sword.
Next, he could try to get in touch with the forces that were on good terms with Green Jade Palace. Based on the current situation, he did not seem to have any conflict with them. Instead, they were enemies.
However, he knew that he could try to get close to them, but he could not trust them. This was because even if the Green Jade Palace wanted to stop the other party from obtaining the divine item, it did not mean that they did not covet it.
In reality, he could not trust anyone here. He could only rely on himself. If he was powerful enough, no one would care about him.
Fortunately, there were still a thousand years before the time limit of the Dark Stone. He could still make good use of this time to plan. With his current strength, no one could pose a threat to him under normal circumstances, unless a Heaven Master came personally.
However, this place was not completely foolproof. For example, in the Qinghua Heaven, what determined everything was Karma points, followed by one's own cultivation. Therefore, if these people wanted to make a move, this seemed to be a good opportunity.
He sneered. If that was really the case, he would just have to wait and see.
He tapped on the cardinal with his Rise Finger and channeled his mana into it. The Magic Boat shook and soared into the sky, heading in a certain direction.
Just Now, after traveling for more than 10,000 miles, there were billowing demon clouds drifting over in the distant sky. It could be seen that the clouds were formed by countless ferocious monsters. Its lower body was a ball of mist, and its upper body had the head of a bull and the claws of a lion. This creature was called a Bi Hou, and it was one of the most commonly seen ferocious creatures in the Chaotic Sky Ruins. It was known for its ferocity, and as long as it sensed the presence of the enemy, it would charge forward like a moth flying into a flame, regardless of how strong the enemy was. Because there were too many of them, it was almost impossible to kill them all, so when cultivators saw them, they would usually avoid them.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he didn't avoid it. He only said, "You two, step back a little."
Ren Ji and Qu Pang hurriedly retreated. Ren Ji took out his defensive magic tool and firmly protected his mind.
Usually, when Zhang Yan traveled outside, he would restrain his Qi dynamic to avoid stirring up the Spiritual Vigor of Heaven and Earth. At this time, he no longer restrained himself and released it.
In an instant, an unfathomable and extremely grand aura filled the space between heaven and earth, causing thunderous rumbles. The floating rocks in the sky instantly fell like rain. Those ferocious creatures were only affected by the aura, and they fell one by one, smashing large pits on the ground and turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood that were difficult to distinguish.
With the might of a Mortal Metamorphosis cultivator, he didn't need to do anything at all. He could suppress these monsters with just his Qi dynamic. In fact, even if they were released, they wouldn't be a threat to Zhang Yan at all. After cutting off the past, as long as their cultivation hadn't reached this realm, they wouldn't be able to hurt him. If it wasn't for the fact that his mana was still restricted by his Karma points, with the speed of the Sky Scraping Dharmic Boat, he would be able to go over in an instant, and these ferocious creatures wouldn't be able to see him.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He looked in a certain direction and was slightly surprised. There was actually a ferocious creature that had already reached the Grotto-Heaven level. This was very rare. According to the records on the map, Bi Xiao had always relied on numbers. It was rare for such a big monster to appear. With a thought, a breeze swept over, and he brought it into the Dharmic Boat. Then, he released light from his eyes, trying to find out where its roots were. However, after looking for a moment, he realized that the past of this monster was a mess, as if someone had deliberately concealed it.
He raised his eyebrows, and a few thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. In the end, he didn't delve into it. With a flick of his sleeve, this ferocious creature turned into a cloud of filthy air and dissipated.
After cleaning up the demonic cloud, the Sky Scraping Dharmic Boat continued forward. Another seven or eight days later, he suddenly saw clusters of pitch-black flames rising from the ground in front of him. These flames didn't look big from the sky, but even the smallest of them occupied a radius of a few miles. Outside the flames, he could see the ruins of Dharmic Boats and palaces everywhere. For millions of years, countless cultivators had died here. This wasn't a good place. If these people didn't have their friends from the same faction to rescue them, even their souls wouldn't have been able to escape.
When the Dharmic Boat got close, the flames suddenly trembled and became brighter. When Ren Ji looked over, he saw figures struggling and wailing in the flames. Ren Ji instantly felt restless, and his chest felt tight and restless, as if he couldn't help but roar out. He quickly circulated his cultivation technique, and Just Now, he calmed down. He asked in surprise, "Spiritual Master Qu, what's in the flames?"
Qu Hao was a little confused. His two heads looked left and right, and he said, "There's nothing in the flames?"
Ren Ji was startled, and he asked, "Spiritual Master Qu, you didn't see it?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "That's just the illusory flames in the heart. Those with stronger desires and obsessions will see it more clearly. Qu Hao's cultivation is deep, and his mind is calm and indifferent, so I didn't see it."
Ren Ji couldn't help but look ashamed. He bowed and said, "Disciple thought that I have some ability now, but it turns out that my cultivation is far from perfect."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. If a cultivator has no desires or desires, then he would have no desire to improve himself. The cultivation of the person behind this fire far surpasses yours, so you naturally can't resist it."
Qu Hao looked down and said in surprise, "This fire is created by transcendence energy, but I can't sense any Qi. If it wasn't for Master's reminder, I definitely wouldn't have noticed it."
Zhang Yan explained, "This place is called the Sea of Fire, and it can be considered one of the most dangerous places in the Ruins of Scattered Stars. A fierce monster hibernates at the bottom of the sea. It has a vicious and cunning temperament, and has been severely injured by cultivators who have come to slay it. However, it always manages to escape. Although the Karma points gained from slaying this monster have increased, no one has ever succeeded in slaying it."
In fact, although this monster was dangerous, it only stayed in this area and didn't go anywhere else. As long as outsiders didn't enter its territory, it wouldn't come out on its own.
However, it was unlucky this time. The area it had marked just happened to block the path of the Sky-Scraping Spirit Boat to the Spatial Turbulence, so it was ready to finish it off.
Zhang Yan looked down for a moment, then put two fingers together and circulated his transcendence energy. Immediately, a talisman gathered at the tip of his finger, and a ring of five-colored light rotated. After a few breaths, the light dimmed. He called Ren Ji over and said, "Take this talisman and go down. If the monster appears, just throw the talisman out."
Ren Jing nodded and went down with the talisman, floating toward the sea of fire.
Zhang Yan watched Ren Ji's figure disappear into the distance. As long as this monster appeared, it would never be able to go back. He had once calculated that if he killed around twenty of this monster, he would be able to release all the restraints on his body.
Just as he was planning to deal with the monster, in front of a formation door in the Ruins of Chaotic Stars, rays of light bloomed, and three figures appeared one after another.
One of them was as tall as a mountain, clad in golden armor and holding a large golden axe. It was Ju Rong's Junior Brother, Jiang Ao.
On the other hand, the other two had the same appearance. Their entire bodies were shrouded in a hazy mist, and there were no facial features on their faces. It wasn't that the two of them were deliberately trying to mystify others, but it was because they were purely clones.
However, Jiang Ao didn't dare to underestimate them because of this. In terms of the cultivation of their real bodies, they were above him. Although it was only their clones, they could still use the Divine Sense and Dharma treasures that they had exchanged for Karma points. However, to prevent their real bodies from being damaged, they chose to do this.
In reality, if a cultivator had enough Karma points, they could even ask Green Jade Palace to directly create a Karma skill body for them. This body could even use all the Divine Sense and Taoist Arts that they had. However, until now, no one had done so. Firstly, it required too many Karma points, and secondly, everyone had doubts about it. Even sects that were on good terms with Green Jade Palace didn't dare to try it rashly.
At this moment, the altar master guarding the altar noticed the commotion and quickly came out to greet them. Jiang Ao sent him away with a few words, then took out a pearl and shook it towards the sky. After a while, a dazzling light shone from it. His eyes flashed, and he turned around and said, "Fellow Ying, Fellow Bai, that Taoist Zhang really hasn't left. It's convenient for us to attack. However, this person is powerful, and even my Senior Brother can't take a punch from him. You two should be careful."
One of them chuckled and said, "Fellow Jiang, there's no need to be afraid. If we were in the outside world, it wouldn't be easy to defeat this person. However, we're in Qinghua Heaven. Now that we're here, how much strength does this person have left?"
Another person also said, "That's right. Fighting here doesn't rely on one's own Weili, but Karma points. This person isn't from our Yuhuan Heavens, and he's just arrived in Qinghua Heaven. How much accumulation can he have? With the three of us here, do we still have to be afraid of not being able to take him down? "
Hearing their words, Jiang Ao seemed to agree on the surface, but he sighed in his heart. He thought that these words were too optimistic. How could that Taoist Zhang not know his own shortcomings? Perhaps he had already made some preparations. If they underestimated him, they would definitely suffer.
However, it was not appropriate for him to speak up and persuade them. Although there were countless Yuhuan Heavens, there were actually not many cultivators who could truly cultivate to the level of Mortal Metamorphosis. It was already good enough that he could find two people this time. For this, he had also paid a huge price. Not only did he use up all the favors he had in the past, he also used up almost all the good items he had accumulated for thousands of years. If these two people were displeased and did not put in any effort, he would be the one to suffer.
