Zhang Yan calculated the time. Due to the unexpected gain, the breakthrough this time was much faster than he had expected. There were still six or seven years before the spirit cave's forbidden door would open. Since that was the case, he would wait a little longer. At the same time, he could calm his mana and adjust his Qi as he wished.
Right now, even he himself found it hard to judge the extent of his transcendence energy. There were differences in the amount of transcendence energy that could be extracted from the primordial qi sea. His foundation was far stronger than his peers, and he had opened the twelve barriers of the realm. It could be said that no one in the same realm could compare to his transcendence energy. Therefore, the amount of primordial qi that he extracted this time was more than he had expected.
Actually, there was another difference. When one was seizing the essence of heaven and earth, the Sea of Qi would not be calm. In order to prevent one's spirit from sinking into it and becoming unstable, most people who cultivated to this stage would carefully and cautiously absorb the essence of heaven and earth. They did not dare to go overboard. Who would dare to plunder without any scruples like him?
After a round of observation, he nodded slightly. If he had cultivated by himself, who knew how many years it would take to cultivate to this stage. The amount of external medicine needed would probably be unimaginable.
Years of time passed in a flash. He just sat there and watched.
Seeing that the time to open the door was near, he had already escaped from the Scarlet Continent and arrived at the Yin God Spirit Cave. However, the surroundings were empty and there was not a single devil to be seen. This was not strange at all. In order to obtain more of the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth, as a precaution, he had killed a large number of devils here, and there were quite a few Xuan Yin Heavenly Devils among them.
This had almost wiped out the turbid Qi in the spirit cave that had Just Now. Not only that, for the next thousand years, there would probably be no need to send people to suppress and clear this place.
In reality, this preparation was not used in the end. However, this effort was not in vain. At least when necessary, the Nine Demon Suppression Slip could attract more unknown things. If he fought with others in the future, it would be useful.
At this moment, as he escaped, he sorted out his thoughts.
If the other party was unwilling, then he would definitely make a move. The worst result would be that he would have to face the Xuanhong Heavenly Lord, who was also the cultivator of enlightenment. Judging from the current situation of the Yuhuan Heavenly Lord, even if he obtained the profound stone, he would not be able to rest easy. He would probably have to fight with more Heavenly Lords in the future.
Previously, he already had a rough idea of Cultivator Du Jue's strength. However, ever since he arrived at the Yu Huan Heavens, none of the people he had met had such an identity. Thus, he felt that this wasn't enough. He needed to gain a deeper understanding before he charged into Xuan Hong Heaven.
Part of the two Daemons' experiences had come into contact with these people, including their views on them. Unfortunately, it was not complete. It was not only because of the loss of memories, but also because they rejected the path of enlightenment, as if they were disdainful of it.
Logically speaking, when it came to the secrets of the Lord of Heaven, even his peers would not be willing to divulge it. It would be difficult to find out. However, there was a Green Jade Palace in the Yuhuan Heavens that had a Karma point system.
As long as he was willing to use his Karma points to ask, he would be able to get the answer. Perhaps he would lose a lot of Karma points, but it would be worth it. Moreover, he had gained a lot from the Spiritual Cave this time, so he did not care about this.
In a flash, he had already arrived before the door of the restriction. He did not have to wait for long before he saw the bronze door emitting rays of light. Then, it opened with a rumble.
With a thought, he instantly escaped outside. At this moment, a ray of golden light shone down.
However, when he focused his gaze on it, the golden light seemed to have stopped at that moment.
At this moment, if he did not want it to touch him, he could escape before it reached him.
Originally, he was thinking and looking into the distance in the Will of Spirit. No matter how much time passed, it would only be a moment in the outside world. However, that would require him to escape to an unknown place. However, at this moment, he seemed to be able to use it in the real world.
However, this would consume a lot of the Spirit of Spirit. Moreover, it was unnecessary. He had come here twice before, so he knew that this was only to verify if he was possessed by the devil. If he avoided it, it would make the Green Jade Palace suspicious. Thus, he retracted his gaze and allowed the light to fall.
The light circled around his body once before dispersing.
At this moment, Guan Longzhao appeared from the restriction. He was able to guard the Spiritual Cave here, so his senses were naturally very sharp. When he saw Zhang Yan, he felt that the latter was slightly different from the last time. He immediately became very vigilant. However, with his mana, he could not see Zhang Yan's true strength. Thus, he immediately used the restriction to verify the situation. When he saw that there were no changes, he calmed down. He bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please forgive me for being rude Just Now. We haven't seen each other for dozens of years, so I have to be more careful."
Zhang Yan said, "This is Fellow Daoist's duty. There is no need to apologize. However, this restrictive light seems to be stronger than before."
Guan Longzhao's expression turned serious. "Speaking of this, I still have to thank you, Fellow Daoist. Last time, after Fellow Daoist's reminder, we caught a few demons that were trying to escape. Therefore, the palace sent people over to make some arrangements. I'm ashamed. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist, I would've been punished by the palace a long time ago."
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head. He said, "This is Fellow Daoist's own caution. It has nothing to do with I."
He was not being polite. The devils might be able to come out from behind the door, but the entire valley was filled with restrictions. The chances of leaving without alerting Guan Longzhao was not high, unless it was a great devil like Peng Xiang. Not only did this devil steal a lot of Elder Peng's memories, but his concealment technique was also extremely brilliant. None of the Genyin Demon that he killed later could compare to him.
He could not stay here for long. After chatting with Guan Longzhao for a while, he bid farewell and went to the array door at the entrance of the valley.
Because he did not know how long he would stay in the Spirit Cave, he told Qu Zhao, Ren Ji, and the others not to wait here. He also let them take the Sky-Scraping Dharmic Boat. Although he still had a Dharmic Boat with him, he did not need to take it out after passing through the array door to the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict.
As he stepped out, he had already passed through the array door and stood in front of the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict. However, at this moment, he felt something strange. He turned to look in one direction and saw that on a peak thousands of miles away, someone was hiding in a cave and was using an artifact to spy on him.
Just Now, he had reached the Third Stage. His Qi was flourishing and his spirit was clear. If someone revealed a little bit of malice, he would be able to detect it immediately. Therefore, although there was no proof, he knew that this person was waiting for him to appear. It was just that this person's cultivation was too weak and could not pose any threat to him, so there were no signs of it appearing before.
However, this person probably did not expect that he had already cut off his future body. Cultivators who were not mortals couldn't see him at all. If there were no accidents, this person was destined to not get any results, even with the help of an artifact.
He pondered for a moment and his eyes flashed. He shone a shadow into his senses. Then, he ignored it and walked into the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict.
At the same time, the cultivator in the cave revealed a look of excitement. He thought to himself, "This person finally appeared."
He took out a Two Realm Dial and placed it on the platform. Then, he used his magic power to press on it. After a spirit light appeared on it, he quickly took a few steps back. After a while, a slightly blurry short figure appeared. It was the dwarf cultivator. He quickly bowed and said, "Deng Shangzhen, disciple Lin Jian pays his respects."
The dwarf cultivator said, "Lin Jian, did you find anything?"
The cultivator quickly said, "Just Now, disciple saw that Taoist Zhang has returned from the Yin God Spirit Cave. He is currently in the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict."
The dwarf cultivator nodded. "Good, you did well. Continue to watch over there. No matter where he goes, immediately report to me."
The cultivator replied, "Disciple obeys."
The dwarf cultivator waited for the light in front of him to dissipate. He found a boy and gave him some instructions.
Not long after the boy left, there was a flash of dark light outside. Then, the female Taoist barged in as if there was no one around. She asked, "Do you know where Taoist Zhang is?"
The dwarf cultivator nodded: "That's right, one of my disciples managed to track him down"
Killing intent appeared in the female Taoist's eyes. She said fiercely, "Very well, I will go now and avenge my poor child."
When the dwarf cultivator saw that she was about to move, he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Hold on, Shangzhen Tang. The Yin God Spiritual Cave's array door is just outside the Imperial Decree Golden Hall. It's not a suitable place to fight. Shangzhen Tang should know better than me that no matter how much the Green Jade Palace gives in, they will not allow us to fight there."
The female Taoist's beautiful face seemed to be a little twisted. However, she also knew that it was not suitable to fight at the Golden Hall, so she said, "Then what are you going to do?"
The dwarf cultivator said, "This person will eventually go somewhere else. At least wait until he leaves Qinghua Heaven before we can make our move. Zhenren Tang, I know you're eager for revenge, but since you've already waited for so long, do you really mind waiting for a few more days?"
The female Taoist didn't insist this time. She said coldly, "Inform me immediately if there is any news."
However, at this moment, there was another spiritual light floating on the dial. The dwarf cultivator was surprised. He stood in front and asked, "Lin Jian, what is it now?"
The cultivator called Lin Jian bowed to him and said with surprise, "Shangzhen, that Taoist Zhang is out. He is going to the Page Sea Sky Array Door now."
The dwarf cultivator's expression changed. He immediately shouted, "Then what are you still doing there? Hurry up and follow him!"
Lin Jian was shocked. He quickly said, "Yes, disciple will follow him now!"
The dwarf cultivator took a deep breath. He turned around and said, "Tang Shangzhen, your chance is here."
At this moment, outside the Golden Hall of Imperial Edict, Zhang Yan stood on the jade steps on the high platform. He calmly watched as Lin Jian hurried out of the cave and went to the Page Sea Sky Array Door.
In reality, everything that Lin Jian saw was an illusion that he deliberately left behind. However, to this person, it couldn't be more real. Under the illusion's guidance, Lin Jian really thought that he was going to Page Sea Sky.
He did this to see if he could lure out the mastermind. If he could, then he would deal with him in one fell swoop.
