As soon as Zhang Yan had the thought, he tried to sense if the Spiritual Lord was hiding in any of the small realms.
There were indeed many small realms in Ye Haitian, and none of them could hide from Ou Yangming. However, he did not notice anything special after looking at them one by one.
He asked after some thought, "Zhenren Shao, how many small realms are there in your realm?"
Shao Wenchao had nothing to hide, so he answered, "The Dragon Residence maintains 6 small realms, but you should know that there are places that are not established by the Dragon Residence."
Zhang Yan nodded. He understood. In order to prevent Sky Sea from looking like a pure land for demon cultivators, there were also almighty cultivators cultivating there, even though the Sky World was the sole power in the Dragon Manor. This was also tacitly approved by Ao Shao. It was a way to protect oneself. He asked, "Are the owners of these small realms here?"
"Of course. If he wasn't going to Wujue Heaven, I would've gone with the Residence Master," Shao Wenchao replied.
Zhang Yan smiled and ignored the derogatory words. He asked, "Can you invite these scholars over? I have some questions to ask them."
Shao Wenchao pondered and responded, "Please wait for a moment." He used his finger as a pen and wrote a letter. Subsequently, he released a small dragon from his sleeve and patted its head. The dragon circled around him and flew into the clouds.
Zhang Yan chatted with Shao Wenchao as he waited patiently. With the sword light clones stationed in the Void Space, he would be able to know immediately if anything happened. There would be no mistakes.
After waiting for more than two hours, the void suddenly opened up, and an old Daoist with slightly sunken cheeks and weak aura appeared. It could be seen that this person was not far from the end of his lifespan. He came up and bowed, saying, "Daoist Master Shao, may I know why you're looking for me?"
Shao Wenchao returned the bow and said to Zhang Yan, "This is Zhenren Ni. Outside of the Dragon Residence, he has the highest cultivation base."
Ni Daoren shook his head and said, "I've only been lingering in the First Stage in my lifetime of cultivation, so there's no need for you to praise me, Spiritual Master Shao."
"Fellow Ni, I took the liberty to ask you to come here because I Just Now, I'm pursuing a big demon here, but he disappeared after the big formation was breached." Zhang Yan smiled.
Daoist Ni stroked his sparse beard. He first looked at Shao Wenchao, then he asked, "Fellow friend, are you suspecting that the demon is hiding in the small realm?"
Zhang Yan nodded. "Perhaps so. I'll have to examine it first before I know. I wonder if fellow daoist will allow me to take a look?"
Ni Daoren pondered for a while before he responded, "It's not impossible, but there's something that I need to make clear to you. Many small realms here were left behind by our predecessors, and we've stopped caring about them since the time of our masters, and we're only waiting for them to return to Heaven and Earth on their own. Therefore, even if we find anything bad from them, it won't be related to our sect."
When Shao Wenchao heard this, he knew that this person was afraid that he would find an excuse to target him. Thus, he said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. I promise that no matter what the outcome is, I will not implicate your sect in this matter."
Old Taoist Ni nodded and reached into his sleeve to take out several talismans. He said, "You can use these talismans to enter the small realms that my sect has opened. There are also some realms that were entrusted to my sect to take care of by my fellow Daoists, but the inheritance was cut off, so no one from my sect has been able to visit them. Fellow Daoist, please take them."
Zhang Yan accepted the talismans and thanked him. In fact, he didn't have to go through so much trouble if he wanted to enter the small realm. However, it was more appropriate to solve the problem through legitimate means than to barge in forcefully, and he wouldn't be viewed as an enemy by his fellow daoists.
With a thought, he split into more than ten sword light clones. Six of them went into the small realm that was opened by the Dragon Residence, while the rest went to explore the other small realms with the talismans.
Then, he said to the two of them, "This Lord Zhongling is quite capable, and he has many fiendish demons under his command in this small realm. Please be careful of the sect's safety."
Shao Wenchao knew that his cultivation was not high enough, and he was afraid that he would only cause trouble if he stayed. Moreover, what Zhang Yan said made sense, so he said, "Then, I'll take my leave first."
Ni Daoren was also tactful, so he also took his leave.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and watched the two of them leave.
After waiting for a while, he suddenly sensed something in his heart. With a flash of light in his eyes, he snapped his fingers, and in an instant, thousands of lightning bolts leaped into one of the small realms. In just a moment, a torrent of mana surged out and knocked the lightning bolts away. He smiled faintly. "It's here indeed."
Lord Zhongling looked at the lightning bolts coming from above with an unpleasant expression. He knew that his hiding place had been exposed.
He relied on Mo Yuyu's innate ability to escape and hid in this small realm, hoping to deceive his opponent under the concealment of the formation. However, he didn't expect that he would make a mistake, and he didn't expect Zhang Yan to be so cautious that he didn't see him leave with his own eyes. As a result, he didn't manage to escape in the end.
After blocking the lightning above him, he parted the waves and jumped out of the Small World with a sway of his body. However, as soon as he was outside, he saw countless sword lights coming at him. He hurriedly tried to circulate his energy, but it was immediately calculated. More than half of his body was instantly torn into wisps of white water. However, before he was completely destroyed, he opened the Mysterious Cave and chose another Void Space Escape to jump in.
Zhang Yan focused his gaze, and a few sword gleams that were circling in the sky flew down and entered the Xuan Cave.
Then, he stood where he was without moving. Not long later, a sword gleam flew over and entered his body. Instantly, he knew where Lord Zhongling escaped to again. He shifted his feet, and the conveyance light extended as he rushed in that direction. Not long after, he stepped out of the Myriad Empty Realm Ring. He came to the boundary.
At this moment, he looked up and realized that Lord Zhongling didn't escape this time. Instead, he stayed there. He said, "You're not going to escape again?"
Lord Zhongling didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yan with a complicated gaze. From the beginning of the battle until now, Ye Futian's Qi activity had been maintained, and his mana seemed to be endless. It was very likely that this was the benefit of the Xuan Stone. In fact, he already knew that his chances of obtaining the Xuan Stone were not high. How could the person chosen by the Tai Ming Patriarch be killed so easily?
But this was the only way for him to reach the Upper Realm. Even if he had to wait for a million years, he had to give it a try. But Just Now, it proved that he had no chance from the beginning to the end. If this dragged on, he was afraid that he would be the first to fall. So, it was better to stop the battle now. As for escaping to the Void Primordial Sea to get rid of the danger, he didn't even consider it. Because since he met that person a million years ago, he couldn't take the initiative to do this.
Zhang Yan could sense it as well, and knew that this person was preparing to fight a final battle with him. Nodding his head, he decided that it was time to put an end to this battle. He waved his sleeve, causing countless bolts of lightning to appear out of nowhere, filling the sky. Then, he punched out.
Lord Zhongling leaped into the sky. With a surge of mana, his Dharmakaya dispersed and turned into endless white water. With a silver glow, it poured down from the sky!
In the next moment, the two masses of Qi Dynamics collided with each other. In an instant, they collided for thousands of times. Even though it was only in the virtual sky, there were still repercussions that scattered onto the ground. The violent spiritual vigor caused tsunamis and flash floods.
After Zhang Yan swung his fist, he attacked Lord Zhongling with his Divine Will. Even though the latter kept moving the Root Fruit to avoid it, Zhang Yan found it again. Soon, no matter how hard he tried to move the Root Fruit, it was useless. His Divine Will was continuously depleted, and his resistance became weaker and weaker. Finally, after the thousands of Shadows of the Future were destroyed, he was hit by a punch that had been thrown at him.
The sound of glass shattering could be heard in the air. Lord Zhongling's body had countless fine cracks. He knew that he was about to die. His face was filled with unwillingness and sorrow. At the same time, there seemed to be some kind of indignation.
At this moment, Zhang Yan had already retracted his attack and was watching quietly in the sky.
Lord Zhongling's Qi dynamic continued to fall. Not long after, it completely dissipated. At this moment, a huge mysterious hole that had never been seen before suddenly appeared outside of his body. It swallowed all the broken Spiritual Vigor around him. However, there was an afterimage of him that struggled and did not leave.
Zhang Yan could see that it was a shadow of the past that was forced to stay in the present world. He did not need to care about it as it would not last long. However, it was obvious that the other party had something to say.
As expected, the afterimage looked up and said coldly, "Do you think that you can use the mysterious stone to go to the upper state? Haha, if you think that's the case, then you're gravely mistaken. What should be encountered will eventually be encountered. No matter what, you can't escape from it. I believe it won't be long before you understand what I'm saying. " After he finished speaking, he smiled strangely. His figure was finally sucked into the mysterious hole. Then, the mysterious hole suddenly closed and the world returned to silence.
Although Zhang Yan heard these words, he was not moved at all. How could he be shaken by a few vague words when he was able to cultivate to such a state? Perhaps this demonic fish really knew something. However, no matter how difficult or dangerous it was, he only needed to face it calmly. It was not worth being afraid of it.
Now that this person was dead, it was easy for the Jindi Sect to deal with him. However, this was a matter for the future. The key now was that he finally had time to help Elder Peng and the others.
"I wonder how Wujue Heaven is doing now."
He thought for a while and did not move immediately. Instead, he stood in the sky and adjusted his breath, recovering the mana that was used up in the previous battle.
Although Lord Zhongling's mana was strong, he was still the same as him. He only had the cultivation of the third stage. Since the root fruit was calculated, there was almost no chance for him to turn the tables. However, it was different for those Enlightenment cultivators. Due to the root fruit's turning, he might have to kill them several times before he could really kill them. However, as long as Yang Yougong did not have powerful reinforcements like Lord Zhongling, the result of the battle was already predictable.
After standing there for seven days, he came out of his meditation. With a thought, a clear light shot up and went into the Boundary Ring. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the half world.
