Zhang Yan was originally in the formation, but he suddenly felt his spirit sinking as if he was about to enter a muddle-headed state. However, his mind was firm, and he immediately woke up. He was surprised to find that his surroundings were different from Just Now.
He was in a carriage. He was wearing a fox fur coat and was leaning on a soft cushion. He was holding a warm stove in his hand, and the sound of carriages and horses could be heard.
He sensed for a moment and realized that his Mighty Force seemed to have been concealed, and he could not move it at all. At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside. "Langjun, we'll reach the Azure Parasol Mountain in a few dozen miles. Everyone says that there are immortals living on this mountain, is it true?"
He thought about it and lifted the curtain to take a look. He suddenly felt a gust of cold air seeping in, dispersing much of the warmth in the carriage. Outside the carriage, the sky was clear and bright. The road was muddy, and there was snow melting on both sides. Fortunately, the stone road was flat, so it did not feel bumpy. The person driving the carriage was his loyal servant, Zhang Xi. After thinking about it, he realized that this was the year when his predecessor and his servant first entered Qincang School to be apprenticed.
He thought about it and immediately knew that this was most likely the effect of the Pure Yin and Yang. He was immersed in his past memories, but what was the point of doing this?
There was indeed such a Divine Ability to make one immerse themselves in the past and shake one's mind. However, those that were able to cultivate to his level were mostly people with firm dispositions and had overcome numerous tribulations, so how could mere matters of the past be able to shake them?
He thought about it again and thought of a possibility.
Zhang Xi heard that there was no reply for a long time, so he turned around and asked with concern, "Langjun?"
Zhang Yan smiled at him and said, "Of course there are immortals." As he said this, he let down the curtain.
Zhang Xi murmured, "It's good that there are, it's good that there are."
Zhang Yan sat back down. Everything in front of him, including the conversation, was the same as what his predecessor had experienced. However, he knew that things would not be so simple, so he wanted to see what the other party was up to.
The carriage did not go far before arriving at the foot of the mountain. There was a pavilion there, and there were attendants from the lower house who stopped the road to ask questions. However, these people only knew basic Qi cultivation and were not cultivators.
Zhang Xilai had already inquired about this place. As long as one handed over a name plate and some money, one could enter. Hence, he got off the carriage to talk to the guard. But after a while, he came back with a worried look and reported, "Langjun, the guards won't let us go up the mountain."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. In the impression of his predecessor, this place had been smoothly passed without any twists and turns. This was undoubtedly the doing of that magical treasure. He smiled and said a few words to Zhang Xi, ordering him to smooth things over. After a long time, the latter came back and said that the person guarding the pavilion still refused to bend the rules.
Zhang Yan nodded to show that he understood. He got out of the carriage and sent Zhang Xi to find a nearby inn to stay. He picked up a defensive sword and a bamboo chip. After identifying the direction, he went to another mountain.
He had been in the lower house for three years, so he knew that there was more than one way up the mountain. There were at least a dozen paths that were not known to outsiders. Since this path was blocked, he could go up from other places. It was not a problem for him. Of course, since he knew that this was an illusion, it was not his original purpose to go up the mountain. He just wanted to see how the treasure would react.
It only took him two more days to reach the top of the mountain through a small mountain path. There were many twists and turns along the way. Tigers, leopards, bears, and insects all came out. He knew every pavilion that was built by cultivators. As long as he went in to rest, he would be fine. However, it did not work this time. However, he was not the youth who went up the mountain that year. With a bamboo chip in his hand, he could use the spiritual vigor of the mountain to set up an illusion and keep the mountain beasts away.
Although there were always some accidents, such as the bamboo chip being swept away by the wind, or the sword slipping out of his hand, he still avoided them without any danger.
However, the moment he reached the top of the mountain, the scenery in front of him changed. He appeared in the cave where he had practiced for three years. At this time, he was short of clothes and food. His Qi Meridians could not break through. The cave where he lived was about to be taken back by the lower house. He was about to fall into a desperate situation.
He thought for a while and turned around to go down the mountain.
This time, there was no external force to stop him. In fact, it was very smooth. He guessed that this treasure would put him in a difficult situation. However, if it could restrain him, it would be a joke.
Although he was trapped in his own memory, he was still a True Yang almighty who could destroy the world with a single thought. Even if he could not use mana here, he still had countless secret skills and powers. If he really wanted to go through it again, why would he need to join a sect?
Moreover, when he achieved the cave, he had created a Taoist legacy. Even if he did not have any external objects, he could open his meridians and break through. After that, he could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. He could find other things to cultivate and continue his cultivation.
With this thought, he seemed to have touched something. The scenery in front of him changed again. This time, he found himself in a dark and gloomy place. This was the Devil's Cave of the Sea's Eye. Outside, there were demonic shadows. It was as if he was surrounded by countless demons. He smiled and conjured an evasive spell. He walked out of the encirclement calmly. As he did so, the scenery shattered again.
Since then, he had passed through more than a dozen scenes. Every time, he was in danger or in a difficult situation, but he easily dealt with them with his extraordinary experience and knowledge.
At this point, he could almost understand the purpose of the treasure.
Every time he gained a slight advantage and was about to defeat his opponent, the Yin Yang Sword Mark would sense it and immediately move him to another memory mark. Once he suffered a setback, it would continue and then suppress him even more fiercely. This seemed to want the cultivator to deny himself. However, there seemed to be some problems with the circulation of qi here because the best way to do this was to conceal his own consciousness, but this treasure could not do so.
In truth, when the Yin Yang Sword Mark was used, the cultivator who was trapped would not be aware of any memories of the past or the future. The only thing they could use was the method they used at the time.
This was equivalent to getting rid of everything in your life that was beneficial to you. Naturally, all that was left was the dark side of failure. True Yang cultivators still had their own Weili, so they had the ability to do whatever they wanted. Every time they fell into a desperate situation and thought they could not fight back, they would weaken themselves imperceptibly.
However, the problem here was still the same as Just Now. Zhang Yan's physical body was still within the Scarlet Continent, so the treasure could not completely envelop him. There was a loophole. It was like the dreamer knowing that he was in a dream.
Zhang Yan now understood that because his memories were complete, his mind was not affected at all. Even if he did not do anything, it would not be a big problem. However, he did not want to do this.
Using the treasure required Origin Qi. As long as he successfully passed through the dangerous situation or turned the situation around, then every time he went over, he would be able to consume some of his Origin Qi. If the other party did not retreat, then he could very well keep them company.
On the other side of the formation, Bai Wei had been using the Yin Yang Sword Mark, but an instant later, he found that his Origin Qi had suddenly dropped. In an instant, he had used up eighty to ninety percent of his Origin Qi. His expression could not help but change slightly. He reacted in time and hurriedly stopped the technique.
Because the Yin Sword Mark had fallen into the cultivator's past memories, neither the master nor the treasure itself could tell what exactly had happened inside. Even though the treasure had gone through countless years of development, it had only been an instant outside, which was why such a situation had occurred.
However, if he could achieve what he wanted, then this bit of effort was worth it. However, when he checked, he found that Zhang Yan was still safe and sound. He could not help but frown and think to himself, "I never thought this person would be so difficult to deal with. Fortunately, it's not like I don't have any tricks up my sleeves."
In the past, it wasn't as if there weren't people with a firm heart who wouldn't be moved by external factors at all. This was especially so for those who walked the path of emotionlessness. Therefore, if he still couldn't subdue his opponent like this, then there was still one last change.
The Yin Yang Sword Mark was clearly a sword, but the reason it was called a Sword Mark was because it could seal a cultivator within it and prevent them from escaping. Therefore, even if he could not kill this opponent this time, as long as he found an opportunity, he could make him unable to stand in the present world.
However, to do this, the amount of Origin Qi needed was undoubtedly more. Just Now, the deficit in the formation had greatly injured his Origin Qi. He was temporarily unable to do anything, so he could only stop and use the Nine Turn Green Goblet to recover his Origin Qi. He was prepared to take down the opponent in one move after he recovered.
At this moment, Zhang Yan also broke free from the past because he stopped. He discovered that the treasure was still entrenched in his body, but its aura was not as imposing as before. Obviously, he had achieved his goal, but there was still a sense of danger lingering around him. He guessed that the other party still had some powerful tricks up his sleeves. He thought for a moment and secretly prepared himself.
Outside, Dan Yi had restrained Qian Luo for more than 10 breaths. He saw the golden light on the Heaven Born Golden Lotus was flickering and the flower bud was trembling. His expression darkened. He knew that the opponent was about to break free. Fortunately, he and Fu Qingming had already retreated into a formation that had been set up beforehand. Even if the woman rushed out, he could temporarily trap her here and continue to delay her.
In another formation, because Bai Wei was also using the Nine Turn Green Goblet, Lu Li's Origin Qi was inevitably weakened. Lu Li was shocked. He knew that she must have run into some trouble. He had wanted to cover it up, but on second thought, he thought it would only make things worse. So, he just let it be.
Michihito Ichito was in the same formation as Lu Li. Naturally, he sensed it as well. Previously, when the Origin Qi of the demon was almost endless, Michito Ichito had guessed that Bai Wei might have obtained some nourishment from somewhere else. But now that the situation was like this, there might be something wrong there. However, he could not rule out the possibility that Bai Wei was deliberately luring him to make a move.
He thought about it for a moment and decided not to make a move. Even if the other party did something wrong, he did not have the means to kill him instantly. He would not be able to determine the outcome of the battle in a short period of time. What he needed to do now was to trap him. As long as he succeeded with Zhang Yan, everything would be resolved when he returned. That being said, this did not prevent him from putting more pressure on the opponent. Lu Li visualized in his mind. Countless rainbows appeared out of thin air and surrounded Lu Li.
