As soon as Ren Ji left the Skyslope Magic Vessel, he withdrew the Talisman that Zhang Yan bestowed to him at the beginning, and after he unfolded it, a cool breeze lifted him up and carried him down. He carefully moved around the clumps of flames on the ground and gradually went deeper into the depths of the sea of flames.
He was clearly aware that he was only playing the role of bait at this moment. But with the decree in his possession, so long as he grasped the right opportunity, it would be sufficient for him to defeat his enemies and obtain victory.
However, on the way, he had to overcome the adverse effects brought by the flames. This thing constantly disturbed his mind, and it caused his chest to be extremely agitated. It was to the extent that he had to divide a portion of his energy to maintain his calm, and he was unable to place all his energy on guard against his enemies.
At a time like this, his tenacity that far surpassed his peers revealed its benefits. Even though his chest was tight and he was short of breath, and the blood in his body was surging, he was still forcefully suppressed it with his supreme willpower.
After a short period of an hour, he'd actually gradually adapted to this disturbance, and it became slightly easier for him to deal with it.
But right at this moment, a loud rumble resounded in front of him. A part of the ground suddenly caved in, revealing a large hole. After that, an ochre colored long beard stretched out from within and fiercely whipped towards him.
Ren Ji hurriedly dodged to the side, and the beard slapped onto the ground, causing the mound that lay there to be instantly cut off from the middle, causing an enormous ravine to appear on the ground.
However, he saw an opportunity at this moment. He didn't have the time to exclaim in admiration at the might of the mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart, and he seized the opportunity before the beard was lifted to leap into the ravine and flee downwards.
However, after descending for over 3km, he suddenly noticed that there were countless tiny hairs fluttering around him. They seemed to be light like clouds, yet every single time they collided with the walls of the cave, they would scratch open numerous deep marks, and the hard rock was actually like rotten soil under their scratching.
His heart shook. Perhaps these hairs alone were of no threat to him, but there were truly too many of them, and they absolutely couldn't be underestimated. Thus, he waved his hand and withdrew a protective magic treasure.
But as he continued to go deeper, the treasure light around him gradually dimmed as it was being worn down at every moment. It was obvious that he wouldn't be able to last much longer.
One had to know that he couldn't use any divine arts or Dao techniques at the moment and could only rely on the Talisman's instrument to move around. This was the only protective talisman he could use. If this continued, he might die before he reached the end of the journey. However, his gaze was firm and he didn't waver at all. Not long after, there was only a thin layer of the treasure light left, but he still didn't stop.
Just when the light was about to be extinguished, the scene before his eyes suddenly widened. He discovered that he had landed in a spacious cave that had been dug out, and all the hairs had been thrown behind him.
When he looked down again, his eyes suddenly widened. There was a worm that was 3km long. There were dozens of eyes on its head, and its mouth was split open to its abdomen. There was a long tongue protruding out, and there were dozens of huge tentacles behind its tail. Just Now, it was only one of them that had come out of the ground. It was hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be if these dozens of tentacles Just Now waved at the same time.
While Ren Ji sucked in a breath of cold air, he also understood that Just Now, this fierce monster probably only regarded him as an insect and only wanted to drive him away. In the monster's eyes, perhaps he was too weak and wasn't worth spending too much effort on, but perhaps it was because of this that he was able to smoothly reach this place.
At this moment, although his mind was thinking, his hands did not slow down at all. He took out the Talisman and then threw it down. In an instant, a five-colored brilliance sprinkled in the cave.
Only now did the long worm realize that the situation wasn't good. It twisted its fat body as if it wanted to drill deeper into the ground. However, before it could do this, the light had already descended and enveloped its body. In just a breath of time, its flesh and blood had transformed into steam, and in a few more breaths of time, it had completely vanished.
At the moment when the monster disappeared, Zhang Yan felt a strange feeling. He took out the Good Deeds List and opened it. He found that he had entered the Good Deeds List, but his ranking was very low. Now, even some practitioners of the Heaven Grottoes had obtained far more Good Deeds than him.
Usually, when one entered the list for the first time, Green Jade Palace would reward him. He only needed to set up a magic altar to obtain Good Deeds. However, he took a look at the Good Deeds List. These things might have some value in the hands of the practitioners of the Heaven Grottoes, but they were useless to him.
Green Jade Palace did this to drive the practitioners to obtain more Good Deeds. As long as he could go back and forth in Qinghua Heaven without any hindrance, he would be able to use his Divine Sense and Taoist Arts freely.
There was a spiritual light in the hall. At this time, Ren Ji turned back and went to the front of the stairs. He bowed and said, "Zhenren, the fierce monster is dead."
Although it was mainly because of the Talisman that killed the fierce monster, he was the one who did it, so he obtained some Good Deeds. Now, he could fly outside without the Talisman.
Zhang Yan flicked his finger, and a spiritual light flew down and turned into a golden ring floating there. He said, "Your magic weapon has been damaged, so this is a gift for you."
Ren Ji accepted it happily and said, "Thank you, Zhenren, for the gift."
Zhang Yan said, "If you had not dared to rush into the crypt and attack, the fierce monster might not have died so easily. This is what you deserve."
Ren Ji bowed again. He understood that this was a test. If he didn't have the courage to do so, he would have turned back halfway. Although he might not have died, he wouldn't have received much attention. Thankfully, he didn't cower back. Now, not only did he obtain an excellent magical treasure, but after this experience, his state of mind was much more stable than before. The benefits he gained could be said to be enormous.
After Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and dismissed him, he looked at the Good Deeds List again. His eyes flashed. Since he could see the ranking, then the people who paid attention to it should also be able to see it. He wanted to see if those people could tolerate him obtaining Good Deeds here.
As he expected, at this moment, on the other side, Jiang Ao also noticed the change in the Good Deeds List. With a serious expression, he said, "That Taoist Zhang has entered the Good Deeds List. We need to hurry."
Daoist Ying said faintly, "I've already said that once we're here, we can just go straight to him. The longer we delay, the more magic power this person can recover, but Fellow Daoist Jiang is unwilling."
Jiang Ao frowned slightly. He did not go straight to him because he wanted to find out the purpose of Zhang Yan's visit. This was something that must be understood, or else it would not be beneficial for them to come down here. On the contrary, after knowing this, they could make corresponding arrangements. However, he did not refute. Instead, he skipped over this part and said directly, "This Taoist Zhang is going to the Space Turbulence to look for the cultivators of the same tribe who were lost in the past. The Space Turbulence is strange, and there are many demons inside. If we let this person go, he might come out unrestrained. I think we should do our best to stop this person before he comes out."
Another Taoist Bai said, "Is this news reliable? Could it be that this person is deliberately trying to mislead us? "
Jiang Ao said, "It should be true. That Taoist Zhang doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding his whereabouts. Moreover, after his senses are blocked, this person can't possibly know that we are going to look for him."
Before coming here, he had already used his Good Deeds to ask the people of Green Jade Palace to use their transcendent artifacts to conceal this part of the Heavenly Mystery. Therefore, it was impossible for Zhang Yan to sense any warning signs.
Taoist Ying said, "We are quite far away from him. I am afraid it will not be easy to catch up with him."
Jiang Ao thought for a while and said, "It's fine. I can use the Light Pursuit Cloud Wings and catch up to this person before him."
"Light Pursuit Cloud Wings?"
Taoist Ying was a little surprised. She said, "Brother Jiang, you even have such a treasure? From what I know, no matter how many Good Deeds you have, you can't exchange for it. At most, you can only borrow it. "
Jiang Ao sighed. "As long as I can avenge Senior Brother Ju Rong, this price is nothing."
Taoist Ying and Taoist Bai looked at each other. They both knew that this was probably only the reason on the surface. However, they had no intention of thinking too much about what was going on behind the scenes.
Taoist Bai said, "Then let's do it according to Brother Jiang's method."
Jiang Ao stretched out his hand and took out two dazzling transcendent artifacts shaped like cicada wings from his pouch. He muttered a few words, and with a shake of the artifacts, they turned into golden threads that wrapped around the three of them. In a flash, they disappeared without a trace.
When the three of them reappeared, they were already standing on a foreign land that was completely different from the one they were in Just Now.
Jiang Ao took out a map from his pouch and compared it with the map. He said, "If there is no mistake, we are already ahead of that Taoist Zhang. This is the path he must pass to get to the Spatial Turbulence."
As he spoke, a dazzling light flew up from his body and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Taoist Ying looked up and sighed inwardly, "This Chasing Light Cloud Wing Fruit is a flying treasure. If I could get my hands on it, I would be able to roam freely in the Remnant Heavens. What a pity."
He felt that Jiang Ao was being too impatient. This transcendent artifact could not only be used for traveling, but it could also be used for escaping. How good would it be if he kept it as a backup.
How could Jiang Ao not know that it would be better to keep it? However, this time, he was going all out and did not even consider leaving a way out for himself.
He waved the map and said in a deep voice, "From the map, there are several great demons nearby. Maybe we can make use of them."
Taoist Bai's heart was moved. He said, "Brother Jiang wants to make use of them?"
Jiang Ao said, "Since this person wants to obtain Good Deeds, he won't let go of the demons along the way. If we lure these demons over and wait for him to fight with them, then we can kill our way out. That way, we will have a greater chance of success."
Taoist Ying and Taoist Bai expressed their agreement. Even though they were full of confidence, they were still very cautious. It should be known that the person they were dealing with this time was someone who could kill Ju Rong with a single punch. If the ambush failed, they would completely offend this person, which would bring them endless trouble in the future. Therefore, it was best to kill him here.
Jiang Ao took out another vermillion red jade fruit and threw it into the ground. Not long after, a strange fragrance spread. He called out and retreated with Taoist Ying and Taoist Bai. Not long after, they heard roars coming from afar. He said, "It's done. Come down, we only need to wait patiently for that Taoist Zhang to arrive."
