A few days later, the news of the two sects being attacked reached the Hanyuan School.
Inside the cave abode, Zhang Yan put down the talisman book and said to the Zhongtai disciple who came to deliver the letter, "Thank you, Sect Leader Qiao, for sending the messenger to tell me about this. When you return, please send my regards."
The disciple said, "The letter has been delivered, I will take my leave now." He bowed and left the cave abode.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Only Sect Leader Chen Yuan and two sword masters escaped from Fengxiang Sword School, while Ku Xin School suffered even more losses. Sect Leader He Yizhu only escaped with her life. After this incident, the strength of these two sects was greatly damaged. I'm afraid they won't be able to defend the north for the next hundred years."
Jing You smiled and said, "Master, although this demon killed more than ten people, he still couldn't find the Star Bead. It's been a waste of effort."
Zhang Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid not."
He reached into his sleeve and took out a Nine-Yellow Star Bead. He placed it on the table and used his mana to suppress it, saying, "Jing You, you also entered Dao with a demon body and once served by Zhenren He's side, can you recognize what this is?"
Jing You stared at it for a few moments, and after a while, he patted his head, pointed and said, "Since Master mentioned it, I vaguely thought of something. If I want to ascend and achieve the Dao, if there is no Xuanmen Qi Dao method to pass down, the only way is to refine nine Natal Pearls, only then can I avoid the calamity that descends from the heavens. Looking at the appearance of this object, it is very similar to the Nine Yellow Star Pearl, but the Demon Cultivators that can cultivate to this level are all ancient Sky Demon lineages."
At the end of his words, his voice unconsciously revealed a sense of reverence.
Ancient Sky Beasts were demon cultivators who could fight against Zhenren He Dongtian. It was not something a little demon like him could compare with.
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. He said, "After that day, there were Zhongtai disciples who went to check. However, the cultivators of the two sects didn't even manage to find a single corpse. They only found some damaged Dharma robes and magic treasures. They were suspected to have had their blood essence, bones, and flesh sucked away just like Elder Lin. I had my suspicions earlier, but from what you've said, this item is most likely the Natal Pearl. "
Jing You was startled, "Could it be that this demon is absorbing blood essence to free its corporeal body?"
Not only could the Natal Pearl avoid calamities, but it could also help the Natal Pearl. It was also where Essence Blood was stored, and it could devour other people's Essence Blood for its own use. The more Essence Pearls there were, the faster it would be refined.
What was even more worrisome was that as long as a drop of the Heavenly Fey's blood essence remained, as long as the soul was not lost, the Heavenly Fey's blood essence would be destroyed. Even if the body was completely destroyed, it could be reforged again. Not to mention the body of a Sky Demon, it might not rot like a normal demon.
Zhang Yan looked out of the abode. His gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if he was looking into the distance. He said, "The day before yesterday, Zhang Zhang wrote a letter saying that the seal is about to be broken. Whether it is true or not, we will know when the time comes."
Jing You knew the origin of this demon and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He said, "Master, this is an ancient evil sealed by the founding master. I'm afraid it will be hard to deal with. Why don't we go to the sect and ask the Zhenrens to come and subdue it? "
Zhang Yan smiled, "If we alarm the sect for this matter, we will lose the big picture because of a small matter. Wait for my order, the disciples will be at their posts for the next few days and are not allowed to enter or leave without permission. If there are any changes in the outside world, there is no need to panic, I have my own plans."
Dongsheng South Continent, Kwantam-in.
After Guo Yuan Jun successfully killed the cultivators of the two sects, he didn't look for Zhang Yan to fight. Instead, he rode the wind and clouds, using more than twenty days to return to this place.
At this moment, Chen Yuan had already withdrawn the disciples. Before he left, he not only slaughtered all the disciples in Kwantam-in, he also destroyed all the spiritual force in the surroundings. As a result, the vegetation within a hundred miles withered and the rivers and springs dried up. At this moment, it was a lifeless scene, like a ghost town.
Guo Yuan Jun didn't care. He looked up at the sky and thought, "In seven days, I will be free. As long as I find the Origin Bead and find a place to cultivate for a thousand years, I will be able to recover my vitality. It seems that Daoren once passed down his teachings. At that time, I will definitely kill my way to their door to vent the hatred of being sealed for ten thousand years."
Ten thousand years ago, there was a powerful cultivator who sealed several evil beings in the world. After he heard about it, he knew that he was one of them. Thus, he started to prepare a way out. First, he stored his soul in a treasure and sent out his Origin Bead to wait for the future.
After it was sealed, the Spirit Returning Sect accidentally obtained it and used it as their sect's treasure.
As for the Origin Bead, it needed to be nourished by the cultivator's blood. That was just a restriction that Guo Yuan Jun had set up beforehand. He wanted to borrow the sect's power to nourish his body, so that the Origin Bead would always be filled with blood so that it wouldn't leak out at any time.
However, even a person like Tai Heng Grand Ancestor would have his blood dried up and his soul gradually dissipated if he didn't get out of the seal for a long time. Even though it had a treasure to protect its soul, it was sealed for ten thousand years. In the end, only a remnant of its soul was left. If it wasn't for the Fengxiang Sword School discovering the seal and thinking that there was an ancient treasure buried in it, it wouldn't have been able to escape death.
He walked around Kwantam-in and finally found a hall. He landed on the roof and sat cross-legged, patiently waiting for the seal to be broken.
Soon, seven days had passed. On the eighth day, he sensed something and quickly released his spiritual opportunity to investigate.
Initially, it was like drilling a narrow well. It was cramped and difficult for him to go in and out of the place. However, this time, there was no hindrance. It was obvious that the spirit of the seal had dissipated. He couldn't help but laugh wildly. A white smoke flew out from the top of the door and tossed Shang Qingjun's body into the ground.
In the depths of Kwantam-in, a demon that was ten thousand feet long suddenly opened its ferocious eyes. Two faint rays of light pierced through the surface and shone through the mountains. Its abdomen was densely packed with long legs that crawled up slowly. As it moved the earth and rocks, the mountains within a hundred miles of it collapsed and the ground cracked.
After a short while, an earth-shattering sound was heard. Gravel and sand flew everywhere. On the surface, the entire Kwantam-in had disappeared.
In the black mist, a ferocious centipede drilled out from the ground. Its head was like a hill, its tail was like a scissors, and its body was segmented like an armor. There were three thousand six hundred and fifty of them. Each segment had a pair of hooked feet that were dark green in color like hard jade. Under its jaw was a pair of pincers that cracked and intersected. As soon as it appeared, the demonic aura soared into the sky. The mountains and rivers were horrified. The sky was filled with black clouds and the sun and moon were gloomy.
The centipede shook its body, and its limbs crackled explosively, causing the surrounding mountains and rivers to tremble. With a strange hiss, a mass of black baleful qi that covered the sky surged out from its abdomen, and it flew up into the air, carrying a boundless momentum as it flew towards the east.
At this moment, thousands of miles away, in the mountain gate of Fengxiang sword school, a Daoist with a square face and big ears was suddenly startled. He looked towards the west with a solemn expression. After pondering for a moment, he ordered the child beside him, "The enemy is approaching. Quickly pass down my order. Order Chen Yuan to bring his disciples to Cang Feng Celestial City to temporarily hide. No matter what, without my order, they are not to come out."
The child beside him saw that he was serious and did not dare to ask more. After a bow, he quickly left.
The Daoist pondered for a moment and used mana to make two distress talismans. He sent them into the sky and they flew towards Qing Xuan Clan and Ku Xin Clan respectively.
Donghua Continent, Qincang school.
Shen Baishuang rode the wind and arrived outside a side hall of the Floating Heavenly Palace. He landed and a child came out of the hall. He bowed respectfully and said, "Zhenren Shen, Sect Master, please enter the hall."
Shen Baishuang waved his sleeves and walked into the hall.
Three months ago, he broke through the Hidden Gate and finally stepped into the Elephant Phase Realm. This time, after achieving the position of Grotto-Heaven, Sect Master Qin Mobai summoned him for the first time.
During the time of the three great calamities, there was another Grotto-Heaven Zhenren in Qincang school. All the sects were shocked. After the sword battle, the six demon sects had been making a lot of movements in the past few decades. However, after knowing about this, they restrained themselves a little.
When he entered the room, he saw Qin Mobai sitting on a jade platform. The waves on top of his head were rolling with endless momentum. With just a glance, he felt his body was heavy. He quickly lowered his head and went up to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master Shixiong."
Qin Mobai smiled and said, "Junior Shixiong, you may dispense with the formalities. Sit down and talk."
Shen Baishuang bowed again and sat down at the side.
Qin Mobai chatted with him for a while and talked about his understanding of cultivation. Only then did he get to the point. He said, "A few days ago, in the ancestral hall, the Forbidden Tablet rang on its own. It seems that another seal has been broken."
Shen Baishuang's expression was calm. Today, he asked him to come because he knew that he had something to ask of him. He said, "Sect Master Shixiong, do you know where the seal is?"
Qin Mobai said, "Dongsheng Continent."
Shen Baishuang thought for a while and said, "Is it where Martial Nephew Zhang went?"
Qin Mobai nodded and smiled. "Yes, I sent him there to find a way to get rid of this hidden danger. However, after the seal was broken, there was a change in the fate of heaven. The demon below seemed to be breaking free."
Shen Baishuang's expression was solemn. He said, "I heard that the ancestral master sealed the demons. They are all ancient and fierce creatures. Although Martial Nephew Zhang's cultivation is outstanding among his peers, I'm afraid he is not a match for such a great demon."
Qin Mobai said slowly, "It is because of this that I called Junior Brother here."
Shen Baishuang said, "Senior Brother, do you want me to go to Donghua to help?"
Qin Mobai smiled faintly and said, "I gave him this task because I wanted to test him. After you go, if he is not in danger, there is no need for you to show yourself. Let's see how he resolves it. If he can't handle it, then you can save him."
Shen Baishuang's expression changed slightly, then he nodded slowly.
Currently, among the top ten disciples in the sect, those who had cultivated to the Yuanying Realm were all outside training. But looking around, only Zhang Yan was in the most difficult situation.
But not only did he not feel that he was being treated harshly, he could see that the sect master valued him very much.
Those who could become Grotto-Heaven in the sect were all chosen from the top ten disciples, but there were only a few who could truly receive the full support of the sect.
For example, even though he was the eldest disciple of Zhuo Yuming, his path was still bumpy.
This generation of disciples was facing the Three Great Tribulations. This was not only a predestined fate, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, the clan masters behind them were all exerting their strength, and the competition could be said to be fierce.
At this moment, whoever could make a great contribution to the sect would have the opportunity to step into the Divine Gate first.
An hour later, Shen Baishuang left the Floating Heavenly Palace. He glanced at the sky, then his body swayed. With a rumble, a towering Dharma that was like a mountain rose into the sky. It stood tall in the sky, and below it were mountain ranges. Water swirled around the clouds, and the air was clear and majestic. White rainbows floated in all directions, making a noise in the sky.
When he achieved the Dharma, Qin Yu once praised him, "Clear water sprinkles the Jade Earth, the clouds evaporate the mountain, and the frost reflects the whiteness of the water." Thus, his Dharma was called "Frost Sky Cloud Mountain." At this moment, this Dharma surged up, and with a loud bang, its momentum had already surpassed the surface of the clouds, and it flew into the sky.
