Zhang Yan had just entered the abode when he felt a mysterious sensation envelop his body. It was as if he'd arrived at a place where the heavens and men were at peace. Not only was his vital energy lively, even the circulation of his Divine Decree had become carefree.
Not only that, the scenery here was completely different from the cave he had seen before. There was no top or cover above him, and there was only nothingness around him. Below him was a piece of flat land, with the shape of latitude and longitude. Water full of vitality flowed in and out of the land, as if it was a painting. A loud golden river flowed from afar, extending all the way to his feet. Within it, he could see countless fish dragons swimming and jumping.
He could clearly see that this was not a living creature, but an accumulation of Spiritual Opportunity that caused the golden water to take shape and give birth to some spirituality. However, if there was no body to carry it, it would forever remain like this, and there would be no further changes.
For living creatures to cultivate, they had to first be determined before they could seek for change. If they were uncertain, they would become impermanent, and then they would not be able to walk the path of Foundation Establishment.
He glanced around for a bit, then stepped onto the golden river and followed the flow. Not long after, he saw a large platform in front of him. There was a nine-storied pagoda on top of it. Light shone in all directions from the pagoda.
With one look, he knew that this was the place he was looking for for seclusion. With a thought, he appeared in front of the pagoda in an instant. Then, he waved his sleeves and walked up the jade stairs to the top of the pagoda.
The place was spacious, and there were sixteen large pillars in the surroundings. They did not look like gold or bronze, but wood or stone. It was unknown how deep they were rooted below.
He took a few glances and realized that although these pillars looked simple, their effects were like the roots of the earth. They were constantly spreading spiritual vigor.
Not far ahead was an incense burner. It was supported by three legs, and its belly was wide and round. There were countless golden pills that looked like stars spinning inside it, and they constantly emitted sparks. They guided the various types of qi in this place to move.
He fell into deep thought. Everything here seemed to be displaying some sort of profound logic, as if responding to what he was thinking Just Now. Even though he was already the master of the Kun Manor, it seemed like there were still many things he didn't understand. However, now wasn't the time to be thinking about these things. He raised his head and saw a praying mat in the middle of the room. He walked over, spread his sleeves, and sat down.
In just an instant, strands of thoughts floated past his mind, and the principles that he hadn't been able to figure out in the past seemed to have been dispelled and seen the sun, causing him to be suddenly enlightened. Moreover, some minor details that he'd overlooked in his Dao Art in the past had surfaced from the depths of his mind, and even his senses seemed to have been magnified by a few times. He instantly knew that if nothing unexpected happened, then this meditation cushion was a treasure as well.
Under such circumstances, an inexplicable feeling suddenly leapt into his mind. His expression changed slightly, but he didn't take it lightly. With a thought, a strand of his consciousness split out and instantly left the Kun Manor, heading towards the void. After that, he didn't care about anything else. He calmed his mind and sank into the jade remnant, beginning to deduce the Divine Ability and secret technique.
After that strand of consciousness went outside, it shifted and arrived outside the Li Heng World.
At this moment, within the Li Heng World, there were tens of thousands of demon cultivators drawing Talisman and building altars. It could be seen that they were doing this to weaken the formation, but to him, this was a good thing. This meant that the demons hadn't discovered the abnormality within the formation.
However, this didn't mean that they could be at ease. After 30 years, if the demons didn't do anything, then they could still fight for a period of time. However, if there were any changes in the formation at that time, it meant that the demons might know the truth. In order to avoid being passive, they had to kill their way in earlier.
Just as he was observing, he felt an extremely faint fluctuation of spiritual vigor, as if it was guiding him. With a thought, he chased after it. In just a flash, he had already entered a dark and empty place. A young Daoist was sitting there. He had thick eyebrows and a long beard, and his eyes were clear and bright. When he saw him, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you're here."
Zhang Yan glanced at him and had already guessed his identity. He bowed back and said, "Are you Fellow Daoist Huantong?"
The Daoist said with a smile, "That's me. However, my main body has already turned into the forbidden formation here and no longer exists."
Zhang Yan also understood that what he saw in front of him couldn't be considered Huantong's main body. It was just a strand of Huantong's remaining aura. It looked even weaker than Fu Qingming back then, and it didn't have any Weili. If it wasn't for his True Yang cultivation, he could sense it. If it was a lower generation cultivator, they wouldn't be able to see it at all. He looked over and said, "A few days ago, the Spatial Concealment Jade Membrane flew over by itself. Was it your doing?"
Huantong admitted, "It was indeed my doing. The last time you came here, I knew you were looking for the other half of the treasure. However, it wasn't the right time at that time, so I couldn't entrust it to you. Not long ago, I found a chance, so I sent it over."
Zhang Yan said, "Originally, we could have calculated the time when the formation would dissolve, so we could deal with it. However, by doing this, it added a lot of variables."
He didn't mention that he was going to deal with the demons because the person in front of him wasn't Huantong anymore. Moreover, this place was right before Bu Xu Tian closed the gate, so it could be said that the Xiantian Demon was very close. If he mentioned it rashly, it could be sensed by the Xiantian Demon.
Huan Tong sighed, "I have no choice but to do this."
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed and said, "Did the demons make any movements?"
Huan Tong replied, "That's right. Even though these demons don't know what's buried in the formation, they've guessed that there's a magic tool hidden there, so they're planning to capture the treasure after the formation is dissolved. After I noticed their actions, I thought it would be inappropriate to leave the treasure here, so I gave it away. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, I'll be using my Divine Will to guide the treasure while it's moving, so the demons definitely won't be able to detect it."
Zhang Yan said, "I was just sitting and watching, but I suddenly sensed something, so I came here. I believe there must be a reason. Do you have something to say to I?"
Huantong said, "When you came to find the Spatial Concealment Jade Membrane, I knew that you lacked a magic tool to control it. I might be able to help you with that."
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised, "Could it be that you still have some magic tool left outside?"
Huantong shook his head and said, "After the great change in Bu Xu Heaven, I was already very lucky to be able to obtain the Spatial Concealment Jade Membrane. Moreover, in order to deal with those demons back then, I almost used everything I had. I brought everything that I needed, so how could I have any magic tools left? It's just that recently, the demons have been coming in and out frequently, which inadvertently revealed something. They seemed to be looking for something. I guessed that since they were so anxious, it should be useful to them, so I paid more attention to it. Not long after, I discovered that they were looking for the Unfettered Wood. "
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised and said, "The Unfettered Wood? Is it the one on Bu Xu Heaven Rui Mountain? "
Huantong said, "That's it."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. This giant tree was very famous. According to the records, it was one of the three giant trees that reached into the heavens in Bu Xu Heaven. In particular, its branches were great treasures, and it was considered a rare item even in Bu Xu Heaven. In particular, it was used to make spirit boats. If it was used for teleportation, almost no one would be able to track it.
The other two giant trees that were as famous as it had been cut down long ago. Only this tree was preserved until the end because of its deep roots and luxuriant leaves. However, because it was cut down too much, it was also on the verge of collapse. Later on, some great figures of the human path were afraid that something would happen if this tree fell, so they forbade people from plucking it.
He said, "Fellow Daoist said that the demons are looking for this thing. Could it be that it has wandered outside?"
Huantong said, "According to what I've been paying attention for a long time, this giant tree seemed to have fallen after that great change. However, for some reason, it didn't stay in Bu Xu Heaven. Instead, it wandered into the Void Essence Sea. A few days ago, these demons seemed to have discovered its whereabouts, so they wanted to find it with the help of the Demon Clan from beyond the heavens. If Fellow Daoist has the chance, why don't you get it first? Whether it's to refine artifacts or to make spirit boats, it's fine. If it's really difficult to do so, you can try to prevent it from falling into the hands of the demons. "
Zhang Yan's mind changed. If this was true, then it was indeed an opportunity. It was difficult for those demons to come out with their true bodies. They could only send their clones outside, so they couldn't compete with them at all.
In fact, even if he found the Unfettered Wood now, he might not have enough time to refine it. However, as Huantong said, even if he couldn't use it, he could still prevent the demons from growing stronger. He said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know where this thing went?"
Huantong took out a ball of Qi activity, opened his palm, and sent it forward. He said, "Fellow Daoist, if you follow this, you might be able to find it."
Zhang Yan took the ball of Qi activity and immediately calculated the direction of the Demon Clan. He looked up and said, "Fellow Daoist, thank you for telling me about this."
Huantong sighed, "The restrictive formation is about to be broken. This is the only thing I can do."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "I have something to ask. Fellow Daoist Huantong, how much do you know about the situation in Bu Xu Heaven now?"
Huan Tong said apologetically, "So I do know a little. It's just that a lot of my memories involve too much karma. If I forcefully retain them, it would easily cause damage to the grand formation, so I severed them. Now, I don't know much more than you do."
Zhang Yan nodded. He understood that he couldn't know more. He said, "I can't stay here any longer, so I'll bid you farewell." “
At this moment, Huantong said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait. May I know how my disciples are doing?"
Zhang Yan said, "The cultivators of Mount Qing Jue are now in the I Clan. As long as they aren't attacked by the demons, it won't be hard for their orthodoxy to continue."
Huantong solemnly bowed and said, "I thank you. Mount Qing Jue owes you a favor. If I come back to life in the future, I will definitely repay you."
Zhang Yan's heart moved. It seemed that Huantong had left some backup plans for him. However, for a True Yang cultivator to come back to life, the key was the item he needed to entrust. If there was any interference, the result would be hard to predict. It seemed that Fu Qingming had planned for a long time. If it wasn't for the arrangements made by Tai Ming Grandmaster, the demons would have destroyed his plan. Even now, there was still a possibility that he wouldn't be able to succeed. It was clear how dangerous it was.
After this farewell, he might not be able to see this person again.
