Shi Wanzong had not escaped far when he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen. He was experienced enough to realize that danger was rapidly approaching.
The most likely scenario was that the demonic god's followers had already found his whereabouts and were now chasing after him.
Shi Wanzong was secretly shocked. He had not expected that he would be exposed so quickly. He could not help but start thinking about where to go next.
Back in the Shirou World, he had already thought of a way out. However, this required him to erase his tracks. Otherwise, it would be useless if he was followed by others.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a large shadow in front of him. He could not see what it was, so he immediately became vigilant. After a few glances, it was not difficult for him to tell that it was a demonic god.
Although he had never seen it before, according to various records, he recognized that it was a demonic god. Its name was "Hun".
Logically speaking, such an existence should not exist here, but he had encountered it.
This type of demonic god did not have a physical body, and it was unknown if it had its own intelligence. It often appeared in the void, and people who traveled in the void would occasionally bump into it. It was said that if one encountered danger, one could enter the belly of this demonic god and go to another world, thereby avoiding a calamity.
As the Sect Leader of the Rong Sect, he knew more than others. He understood that this demonic god was probably traveling between the real world and the illusory world. Those who used it to escape could only wait for the demonic god to move into the real world again to escape. However, no one knew how long that would be. If it only appeared again when the world ended, what use would it be? Even if it did not, it would be hard to know what the world would be like after hundreds of thousands of years.
However, he thought about it again. If the people chasing after him were the same enemies he met last time, even though he had recovered some of his strength, it was not at its peak. He would definitely not be a match for these people.
After escaping the last time, he realized that he had the help of the heavens. It was as if there was a Weili protecting him. Perhaps it was the same when he bumped into this demonic god. Perhaps he could use it to avoid a calamity.
If it was in the past, he would definitely think about this choice again and again. However, at this moment, his mind seemed to be controlled by something. He did not think much and dove into the demonic god's belly. Soon after, the demonic god disappeared without a trace.
Not long after, Ao Shao and the other two arrived.
Qiu Chong held the Single Horned Golden Bull Seal in his hand and kept trying to investigate, but he found that all the clues were cut off here.
Ao Shao also tried to look around, but he didn't see anything either. He sighed and said, "It seems like we've let him escape again."
Cheng Liyi pondered for a moment before replying, "It looks like this person is blessed by luck, and it's very likely that there's a mighty figure behind him. In that case, it'll be very difficult to capture him."
If they were to fight against someone of the same generation, no matter how they tried to escape, as long as their methods did not exceed common sense, they would always be able to find clues and flaws. However, if an Upper Realm Almighty interfered, then no matter what they did, it would be useless.
Qiu Chong looked ahead and said, "That might not be the case. Even if there is a powerful being interfering, there is definitely a limit to what he can do. Otherwise, we would not have been able to find him so easily."
He tried to activate the Single Horned Golden Bull Seal. Previously, he had relied on this treasure to vaguely sense the other party's existence. If the connection was completely cut off here, then he wouldn't have thought too much about it. However, there was clearly a weak connection between this treasure and him. This meant that there was still a chance to capture him. However, he didn't know where the key to breaking through this trap lay.
When Ao Shao heard Qiu Chong's words, a guess formed in his heart. He said, "Perhaps this person is hiding in some region that's similar to a small world. However, this region is unique, and there's also the Weili interfering. That's why it's so difficult for me to find him."
Qiu Chong slowly shook his head and said, "If that's the case, why didn't he use it earlier?"
Cheng Liyi said, "Perhaps he's fused with some kind of supernatural power recently …" At this point, he also realized where the problem lay. If Shi Wanzong had the ability to do so, he would have done it when he was serving Rou Tian. Why would he need to come all the way here?
Qiu Chong looked ahead and said with certainty, "He must have landed nearby. Fellow Daoists, please protect me while I try again!"
He immediately sat cross-legged in midair. Then, he took out the Clear Purple Medicine and swallowed it to regulate his breathing. Since there were no external disturbances and he had sufficient external medicine, he recovered his transcendence energy not long after.
Then, he stood up and looked ahead again.
This time, his Qi activity was at its peak. He wasn't as weak as he was Just Now. He could vaguely see the silhouette of a supernatural being floating there. However, it only lasted for an instant before it disappeared again.
Even though it only lasted for an instant, it was enough to prove that the problem lay with this supernatural being.
Qiu Chong came out of his meditation. His eyes lit up as he said, "It's here as expected."
Ao Shao and Cheng Liyi came and went. The former asked, "Fellow Daoist, did you discover something?"
With a thought from Qiu Chong, the blurry silhouette of the supernatural being appeared before them. He said, "Fellow Daoists, please take a look."
Ao Shao's eyes shone brightly. After looking for a moment, he said, "From the illustrations of the natives, this supernatural being's name is' Hun '. It's rumored that it can swallow living beings into its stomach and forget about the laws of heaven and earth." He paused for a moment before he continued, "If that's the case, then Shi Wanzong might have hidden himself inside this creature's stomach."
Even though they still didn't know how to force this supernatural being out, they knew where they should go now that they had found their target.
Cheng Liyi said, "The records I've read don't have any way to deal with this supernatural being. We should send a letter to Sect Leader Wei and see if he can find a way to defeat it."
After the three of them came to a decision, they took out their transmission talismans and used their fingers as a pen to write down the situation.
On the other side, the talisman placed in front of Wei Zihong's hall suddenly moved. Then, lines of words appeared. After reading through them, he immediately understood the whole story. As this involved Shi Wanzong, he placed great importance on it. First, he ordered his disciples to search through all the records available. However, after searching through them, they couldn't find any records about this Hun, let alone a way to deal with it.
Seeing that this method wasn't working, he sent someone to find Dragon Sovereign Qi Zhaolan and explained the situation to him. He asked, "Dragons are born together with the heavens, and you are the ruler of the Dragon Realm. Do you know the weakness of this supernatural being?"
Qi Zhaolan pondered for a moment before he bowed apologetically. He said, "Among the supernatural beings in the Void, there are thousands of them that are unknown to us. Only almighty beings can sense them, and there are hundreds of them that we can't smell or see. This Hun is among them, and it rarely appears in front of people. Our Dragon Realm knows of its abilities, but we really don't know how to find it."
Wei Zihong asked, "Then, in this world, is there anyone who knows about it?"
Qi Zhaolan said, "Our Dragon Realm has existed since the beginning of the world, and the records in our realm are the most detailed. If I don't know, then no one else will. It's really hard to find such a person in this world, but …"
Wei Zihong looked at him stuttering and smiled. "If you have a way, you can tell me. Even if it involves some taboos, it doesn't matter. We are cultivators, and we pay attention to the Heavenly Dao. We never speak of sinners."
Qi Zhaolan heaved a sigh of relief. He bowed and said, "Then I will speak frankly." He straightened his body and carefully said, "I think that Shang Zhen doesn't need to spend so much effort to find the weakness of this Hun. As long as it involves the living beings in this realm, others may not know, but the Void Mother will definitely know. Shang Zhen has captured many descendants of supernatural beings, and we can ask those who have not submitted to us to offer sacrifices to her. We can also ask about this matter, and we will get the answer. If we offer enough sacrifices, we might even be able to force that Hun to come out. "
Wei Zihong didn't want to offer himself such an idea. He didn't mind using the Void Mother, but he had a question. He said, "The Void Mother is my enemy. How can I agree to something that is beneficial to me?"
Qi Zhaolan bowed again and said, "The Void Mother is neither good nor evil. Offering living beings as sacrifices to ask for the truth of the Void Mother is a common rule since the creation of the world. If this path doesn't work, then the Heavenly Rites will collapse, and all living beings will lose their Dao. This is undoubtedly destroying its own foundation, so as long as there is a request in the sacrifice, it must respond."
Wei Zihong immediately understood what he meant. The Wanque Star Stream's method of asking for the truth of the Void Mother's sacrifice was a rule that all living beings agreed to. If the Void Mother dared to violate it, then everything built on this foundation would collapse, and no one would believe in the Void Mother anymore. Using the sacrificial method to ask for the weakness of the Hun, it could be said that it was using its own spear to attack its own shield.
This was indeed a good idea. Of course, the prerequisite was that the person offering the sacrifice was a native of the Wanque Star Stream. If it was a cultivator like them, they obviously wouldn't be able to do such a thing. However, this wasn't a problem. They could capture as many natives as they wanted. Some of them had submitted to them, and some were still unwilling to surrender. Previously, they didn't pay much attention to them, but now that they had to use them, they naturally had other methods.
However, at this moment, he thought of another possibility and said, "If that's the case, can we use this method to reverse the Wanque Heavens?"
Qi Zhaolan smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to Great Truth, this method of asking for the truth has never been used before, so we might be able to find a loophole. However, if there's a next time, the Void Mother won't really reject us, but she can increase the number of sacrifices or use other methods to obstruct us. She won't let us get what we want so easily again."
Wei Zihong nodded. He was just asking, and he didn't really expect it to work.
He immediately handed over this matter, and under the proper arrangements of his disciples, most of the gods and monsters that they had captured this time were sacrificed. All the previous rules were followed according to the proper sacrificial method. Because this time, they weren't asking for supernatural powers, everything was relatively simple. After a month, they indeed obtained the answer that they had been searching for so long.
Wei Zihong also sighed in his heart. This sacrificial method was so useful. If there was such a powerful existence in the Void Primordial Sea or Bu Xu Heaven, perhaps many cultivation questions could be answered from him.
After he personally looked through it, he recorded the results on the talisman.
Ao Shao and the other two had been waiting for news. When they saw the words on the talisman, they immediately understood what they should do.
Qiu Chong said in a deep voice, "Later, I'll cast a spell to force him out. The two of you, please keep an eye on him. This time, we must kill him here. We can't let him escape!"
