Zhang Yan followed the direction indicated on the map all the way, killing all the demons and evil monsters he encountered along the way. After more than ten days, he was not far from the Chaotic Vortex Flowing Space. If he traveled at his original speed, he might be able to cover this distance in an instant. However, because his supernatural power was suppressed, it would take him one or two days.
In the Inner Mansion of the Magic Boat, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Suddenly, several demonic Qi appeared in front of him. He opened his eyes and thought for a while. According to the map, there were indeed several big demons nearby. Because of the restriction of Karma points, once these demons used their Divine Sense, their Spiritual Qi would be consumed dozens of times more than usual. Therefore, most of them could only stay where they were, waiting for prey to come to them. After a long period of fighting, the demons had divided their territories. Now they were all gathering in one place. Anyone could see that something was wrong.
His eyes flashed. At this moment, there was no warning sign in his heart. Either there was no danger and it was purely an accident, or the secret of heaven was concealed by someone so that he could not sense it at all. In this Qinghua Heaven, as long as one had enough Karma points, he could walk freely. It should not be difficult to do this.
However, to infer the truth, it was not necessary to rely on sensing. Sometimes, the simplest method could be used.
He took out a handful of divination rods and scattered them in front of him. Immediately, a hexagram appeared. He glanced at it and took it out again. After several times, the result was exactly the same. It was neither ominous nor auspicious, neither straight nor crooked, neither ordinary nor strange.
He sneered. This result was enough to explain the problem. He stretched out his hand and several talismans immediately condensed on his palm. He ordered, "Qu Zhao, restrain the people below and keep them in the Sky-Scraping Ark. They don't have to come out."
Qu Zhao had followed Zhenren Ruan through many territories and encountered many dangerous things. He immediately realized something, raised his two heads and said seriously, "Yes, Master."
Zhang Yan nodded. As he spoke, five talismans had already landed in his hand. Then, he stood up from the praying mat and stood there with his hands behind his back. He looked towards the sky.
Right at this instant, a strange feeling surged in the hearts of Jiang Ao, Ying, and Bai. A few breaths of time ago, they'd noticed the Skysnake Vessel. However, at this moment, even though the Skysnake Vessel's speed hadn't changed, and it didn't reveal any unusual behavior, they clearly felt that Zhang Yan had already noticed their existence.
Daoist Ying's voice carried a trace of caution as he said, "Looks like he's even more formidable than we expected."
Daoist White was also shocked. "This is truly incredible. It seems that fellow daoist Jiang's caution is not without reason."
Jiang Ao took a deep breath and said, "Gentlemen, so what if he discovered us? Those demons have already gotten close to him. Judging from his lack of Karma points, he can't use his Divine Sense and Taoist magic arts without any scruples. To deal with him, we can only use talismans and treasures. Let's see what else he has up his sleeve. "
He didn't expect to rely on a few demons to do anything to Zhang Yan, but he could observe something useful from the sidelines. If it was possible, perhaps he could find an opportunity to attack.
Zhang Yan gazed at it for a moment before a thought arose in his mind. A strand of indistinct profound energy rose beneath his feet, and he walked out of the Sky-Scraping Dharmic Ship and stood in the sky. He sensed that three demons were coming over, and all of them had strange appearances. At this moment, they were roaring madly, and their eyes were completely red as if they had gone mad.
For millions of years, countless demons from the Outer Realms had intruded into the Qinghua Heaven. These three demons had come to the Qinghua Heaven from an unknown period of time, and their intelligence had almost been wiped out. It was no wonder that they were so easily controlled. Even so, their strong bodies and survival instincts were still there. Once their Essence Qi was damaged to a certain extent, they would immediately retreat. Therefore, it was almost impossible to kill them in this way.
However, he didn't care about them at all. He just stretched out his hand toward the sky, and then the hand grew bigger and wider. Soon, it turned into a sky-high momentum and reached toward the three of them.
Jiang Ao was greatly alarmed. Without the slightest hesitation, he shouted. Suddenly, there was a flash of brilliance behind him, and a golden lamp appeared, lighting up the sky. Even his body was bathed in the light of the lamp. At the same time, he kept flying backward, trying to escape from the giant hand.
He believed that there was not much difference between his skills and Ju Rong's. If Ju Rong couldn't take a punch, then he didn't have many ways to deal with it.
In particular, he couldn't figure out what was going on. Until he asked a fellow Daoist to ask a powerful senior in his sect for help, he had used a favor. Just Now, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
For this reason, he spent a lot of Karma points to invite this Sun Suppressing Lamp to protect him.
This treasure lamp was one of the most precious treasures of the Green Jade Palace. With it, a cultivator could temporarily not use it, and the opponent would not be able to kill him by cutting off the Shadow of the Future.
Daoist Ying let out a snort, but his expression was much tougher than before. He flipped his palm and thrust it forward, bending and stretching his fingers to form a mysterious seal. After a short while, beams of light shot down from the sky and bombarded the gigantic hand, ceaselessly impeding its upward momentum. Some beams of light even managed to penetrate into the ground, creating a huge crater in the ground. Even the towering mountains and cliffs in those craters melted in an instant, leaving not even a trace of them behind.
He could have tried to dodge the attack, but in his opinion, Zhang Yan hadn't accumulated enough Karma points yet. His abilities were being suppressed, so the consumption of his magic power was at least several times higher than usual. Even if he appeared to be at a disadvantage, it didn't matter. If the fight went on like this, he would exhaust his opponent to death sooner or later.
As soon as Zhang Yan began to fight, he felt that his Primordial Essence Qi was decreasing at a crazy rate. But at the same time, that indescribable thing suddenly crossed the air and continuously poured into his body to maintain the consumption of his body. The two sides maintained a balance.
He didn't use the Future Slaying Technique. Last time, he killed Ju Rong with one punch because there was only one opponent, and he had used up a lot of Divine Will Primordial Essence. This time, as long as his opponent wasn't stupid, it was impossible that he wouldn't be on guard. Therefore, he didn't take the initiative to do such a useless thing.
At this moment, Jiang Ao had already retreated far away. Only when he saw that he didn't die inexplicably did he feel relieved. He transmitted his voice and said, "I have to prepare that talisman. I'll have to rely on the two of you."
White Taoist replied confidently, "Don't worry, we're in the Qinghua Heaven. Only Karma points can decide the outcome of the battle. Although we can't kill this person right now, it's not difficult to delay him."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve and threw down a long green rope.
It was extremely difficult to kill a Great Divine Ability Cultivator, because such a person had the protection of the Root Fruit. If they followed the usual method, they would have to exhaust their Divine Will and constantly calculate the location of the opponent's Root Fruit. Then, they would continue to waste time until one side's Divine Will Origin Qi was completely exhausted.
However, this time, in order to avoid falling into such a bitter battle, they had made sufficient preparations.
As soon as the long rope was thrown down, Zhang Yan felt that there was a strange connection between him and this object. It was as if it could entangle his essence, energy, and spirit in the next moment. He blew out a breath of air, which turned into a bolt of lightning that struck the rope. However, not a single one of them landed on the rope. They all passed through the rope. He immediately knew that this object could not be dodged using the usual method.
Jiang Ao stared down with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. This "Binding Rope" was also something he had exchanged with Karma points from the Green Jade Palace. In the Qinghua Heaven, no matter how powerful one's technique was, even if one had cut off the past and future, once they were tied up by this rope, they would be firmly tied to the same place. It was actually easy to avoid it, as long as one used the Root Fruit.
However, at that time, the backup plan he had set up could be put to use.
This time, he had paid a huge amount of Karma points in exchange for the help of the people from the Green Jade Palace, asking them to calculate the location of Zhang Yan's Root Fruit.
Originally, the Karma points that he had were completely insufficient, but fortunately, he had the help of a powerful person. This was also the reason why he could only win this time. Otherwise, that person would definitely not spare him.
In fact, as long as they paid a certain amount of Karma points, the Green Jade Palace could also help them hide the Root Fruit. In fact, the number of Karma points needed was far less than the number needed to calculate the Root Fruit of others. However, until now, no one dared to do so, even the cultivators who were on good terms with the Green Jade Palace did not do so. That was because once the location of their Root Fruit was exposed, their life and death would be in the hands of others.
Far in the sky, two Daoists sat cross-legged in the clouds. At this moment, both of them looked down calmly.
One of them said lightly, "The Binding Rope has been used. In a moment, Junior Brother You and I will calculate the location of this person's Root Fruit."
The other person nodded and said, "As you said, Senior Brother."
From their point of view, if the person whose Qi activity was controlled by the Binding Rope did not want to be locked in the same place, then he could only use the Root Fruit to escape. Zhang Yan was no exception.
As long as the Root Fruit was revealed once, they would be able to calculate that even if a cultivator of the Third Degree Realm changed his Root Fruit, he would not be able to escape. It was like a fish biting the bait. Once the bait was hooked, no matter how much one struggled, it would be useless.
The reason for this was that in this world, all the cultivators were suppressed by the Karma points method. On the surface, it seemed that one had changed his Root Fruit, but in reality, he was still trapped by the Qi activity.
The people of Green Azure Palace did not take any sides in this matter. As long as someone was willing to pay the Karma points, they would help him. There was only one rule, which was that they would only help him once every hundred years. After fulfilling the promise, they would retreat regardless of the outcome.
Jiang Ao, Ying, and Bai were both extremely confident in the Intertwining Rope. If Zhang Yan were to sacrifice the Root Fruit to escape, then he would fall into their trap. If Zhang Yan did not fall for the trap and resolutely refused to use the Root Fruit to escape, then they would use all of their transcendence energy to attack him until he could no longer withstand it. In short, no matter what choice the opponent before them made, he would fall into a passive position.
At this moment, the rope had finally descended. In an instant, it appeared by Zhang Yan's side and coiled around his body!
