With a countermeasure in mind, Tao Zhenren did not hesitate. With the help of the formation map, he moved himself and Zhang Yan out of the West Godly House. He then used his escape technique to travel towards the east. In just an hour, they arrived before a pit.
The two of them looked down from the clouds. Zhang Yan pointed below and said, "This is it."
Spiritual Master Tao took a look. The terrain of the Shenwu Mountain was extremely high, so it was not suitable to open a furnace of earth fire. However, this place was a deep and sunken valley, which was completely different from the surrounding mountains. Looking at the crypt again, it was wide and bottomless, as if it led to an endless ravine. He praised, "What a natural land of fortune."
Zhang Yan said, "In your opinion, is it suitable?"
Tao Zhenren used his mana to absorb a strand of Qi. After analyzing it for a while, he was pleased and said, "The Earth Fire here is strong. It must have been nurtured by top quality wood for dozens of years. It should be enough to refine this demon."
Because the furnace had not been opened for a long time, he was worried about the lack of firepower. But now, it seemed like he did not have to worry anymore.
Grabbing the Fine Prisoner Pot, he shook it lightly and sent out a command. White light floated around him and spiritual light shot out. Eight white flood dragons flew out and circled the air, each holding a section of a body in their mouths before diving into the cave.
As they went deeper, they could feel the heat coming up. The White Flood Dragons were formed from spiritual essences. They were hidden in the pot. As long as the pot was not damaged, they would not be damaged. They were not afraid of being burned by the Earth Fire. Therefore, they did not stop at all.
However, Guo Yuan Jun sensed danger. His body twisted violently. But with the Fine Prisoner Lock suppressing him, he could not break free and could not use any supernatural powers. But it was futile. After a while. He could only give up.
After going down for more than two hours, they still hadn't reached the bottom of the cave, but the walls around them had become bright red, and the heat was several times higher than before. Here they could see huge logs stuck horizontally on the cave walls, surrounded by countless fragments of fire, like stars in the sky, drifting in all directions.
They reached this place. The White Flood Dragons climbed onto a huge tree each and lay there quietly.
Tao Zhenren was able to sense the situation below with the Fine Prison Pot and knew that everything was ready. He said, "Fellow Zhang, you can bring out the talisman now."
Zhang Yan took out a Talisman and held it between his fingers. It swayed a little above the cave pit, then immediately turned into ashes and flew away, turning into a cloud of black fog in midair. He waved his sleeve and when he opened his hand again, it had already condensed into a talisman.
This restriction talisman was refined using the Green Bright Wood Ash when he created the Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace. It could be used to summon Earth Fire. The stronger the user's magic power, the stronger the Earth Fire.
Tao Zhenren gently waved his hand and took it, channeling his mana into it. He immediately activated the seal.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, the sound of the wind and waves all disappeared. After a few breaths, there was a rumbling sound, it sounded like it came from the side, but it also sounded like it came from a very far place. Suddenly, the mountains shook, the earth shook, the mountains and the sea shook. After about the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, there was smoke rising from the pit, followed by a red light shining into the sky. Because the top of the cliff was covered with clouds, it became like a steaming furnace, steaming hot and dense smoke.
At this moment, inside the furnace, there was a blazing sound, countless True Fire of Earth hidden deep in the earth's lungs was drawn out, burning the eight parts of the body.
Guo Yuan Jun suddenly felt a great threat, he was shocked and angry, he never thought that he would end up in such a situation. He could only desperately activate the blood essence hidden in his Natal Pearl, refining a part of his body, then growing another part, so that it would not be refined.
But this was not the end, once the blood essence dried up, he would no longer be able to resist the attack of the Earth Fire. But being trapped here, he had no other choice but to endure, hoping that his Natal Pearl would come back in time, then he might have a chance to escape.
Zhang Yan and Tao Zhenren watched from above for half a day, there was no movement in the cave, they knew that at this stage, Guo Yuan Jun would not be able to cause any more trouble, they were slightly relieved.
At this time, Tao Zhenren said, "Guo Yuan Jun is an ancient Sky Demon, since he is in the earth furnace, we should not waste such a good material."
He raised his sleeve and reached into it to take out a jade bamboo. He unplugged it and tilted it slightly to one side. Seven-colored powder flowed out of it. After a few taels, he hurriedly collected it and put it back into his sleeve.
Seeing him so cautious, Zhang Yan could not help but ask curiously, "May I ask, what is this?"
Spiritual Master Tao said, "This is a fist-sized rainbow crystal that I got from the Immortal Abode. I can't identify its origin, so it might not be something from the Nine Continents. Usually, when I'm refining a treasure, I can carefully scrape off a layer of it and put it into the furnace. It can increase its spirituality and improve its quality. This time, I deliberately brought some with me. My original intention was to exchange it for some precious materials with my fellow daoists, but I didn't expect to use it here."
Hearing that the origin of this item was so extraordinary, Zhang Yan quickly cupped his hands and said, "I have to thank you, Dao Master."
Tao Zhenren smiled and waved his hand. "There is no need to thank me, but after this Sky Demon is refined, I hope Dao Friend can share some with me."
Clear Feather Sect had been established for less than a hundred years, its foundation was still shallow, and it was located on the open sea, so the sect was short of talismans and pills. Although there were more treasures in the sea than in the continent, firstly, the sea was vast, and these treasures were scattered everywhere, some were even buried in the deep sea, without accurate information, it was difficult to find most of them. Secondly, as the sect master of Clear Feather Sect, it was not good for him to leave the sect often, and once the body of the Sky Demon was refined into a treasure, it could be said that it was difficult to find in the world, so he had to ask for it shamelessly.
Zhang Yan did not mind, "I also relied on Dao Master's help to subdue the great demon, these treasures are nothing, Dao Master can just take it."
Tao Zhenren took a look at him, but shook his head and smiled. "I do not dare to be greedy, just a little is enough."
He was here to return the favor, if he took it all, he would not be able to repay the old debt, and if he added a new one, it would go against his original intention.
Zhang Yan smiled and did not mention it again.
At this moment, he looked around and suddenly felt that something was wrong. After all, Tao Zhenren still relied on his own mana to drive the earth fire. It would be fine if he was in the West God House, but this place was no longer under the control of Tao Zhenren's formation map, and there were no restrictive formations around to block it. If the few Daoist Masters outside had any ideas, it would be very difficult to deal with them.
After having this thought, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask for a talisman from Dao Master to move the two hundred thousand demon soldiers out and set them up here."
When Tao Zhenren heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and took out a talisman, passed it to him, and said, "The three people from the South Continent probably did not expect us to subdue the demon so quickly, they are still watching the fire from the other side of the river, there is no need to worry. However, Zheng Weixing is not far from here, it will not take long for him to reach here, if he notices anything wrong, he will come here easily. Fellow Daoist, you must be careful when you go back and forth."
Zhang Yan nodded solemnly, bowed and bid farewell to Tao Zhenren, and flew away on his sword.
In Hope Voice Mountain, Zheng Weixing sat in front of a green jade water plate, his gaze fixed on the water.
At first, he thought it would take at least a few days to determine the winner, but he did not expect Guo Yuan Jun's Qi activity to weaken in just a few hours, it was obvious that he was not going to make it.
Since Zhang Yan and Tao Zhenhong left the West Godly House, he had been paying attention to their every move. He saw that the Heavenly Demon was thrown into an underground cave, and then there was smoke and fire, how could he not see that it was an Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron?
This time, he could not sit still anymore, and said indignantly, "The precious materials refined from the body of a Heavenly Demon must be rare, how can I let you take it all for yourself!"
At this time, he looked again, and saw that Zhang Yan had suddenly disappeared, but his spirit was lifted, and he thought, "Tao Zhenhong is willing to help this person as a Heavenly Abode, he must owe a great favor. If I go forward and capture him, I can most likely force him to obediently hand over the precious materials."
Thinking of this, he let out a low grunt, and immediately turned into clear air, rushing to the Godly House.
At the same time, the two Venerable Grotto-Heavens of the South Continent also felt that something was wrong.
Gan Shouting suddenly stood up, and said in surprise, "What's going on? Why did Guo Yuan Jun's Qi activity suddenly weaken?"
Hang Yuyan bit her lip, and said, "Zheng Weixing also moved."
Gan Shouting's face darkened, and he said, "He must have also noticed that something was wrong. I did not expect those two to suppress Guo Yuan Jun so quickly, it must be because they obtained that killing treasure, and I underestimated them earlier."
Hang Yuyan said anxiously, "What's the point of saying all this now? We can only hurry over, if we are late, we won't get a chance."
Gan Shouting said, "That's right, we need to move quickly." Just as he was about to move, he paused, and said hesitantly, "If we just go like this, they might be forced to join forces, and that would be bad. We still need to call Ji Xiangping."
Although Qing Xuan Sect's Spiritual Master Ji came from the same continent as them, he was not close to the two due to their different temperaments. Hang Yuyan initially wanted to exclude him, but after thinking about it, she felt that even if Tao Zhenhong and Zheng Weixing joined forces, they might not have much confidence in fighting them. Moreover, one more person meant one more share, so she reluctantly agreed.
The two rose from the altar, and after a loud bang, they crashed into the High Cloud, leaving only echoes in the sky.
After Zhang Yan went dozens of miles away, he threw himself into the ground, and used the Earth Escape Technique to travel underground.
Although this technique was not as fast as the Sword Escape Technique, it was more reliable, and even if a Heavenly Abode Master intervened, they would not be able to find him.
After half a day, he returned to the West Shenwu Mountain. He lit up the talisman, and in a blink of an eye, a spiritual spring gushed out from the ground. A pretty little girl came out from the spring, and her little head looked left and right, "Where's my master?"
Zhang Yan said, "Tao Zhenren is still burning that big demon outside, but I was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation, so I came back, and wanted to move the two hundred thousand demon soldiers outside, and then make arrangements."
The little girl blinked, "Xiu Er understands."
She clapped her hands lightly, and the two hundred thousand demon soldiers were moved out from the mountain one by one. After she was done, she asked seriously, "Is this okay?"
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "I'll thank you here."
The little girl exclaimed, and hurriedly returned the bow.
Zhang Yan smiled, he had seen many true spirits, but only Mountain River Boy had a good temper, and this little girl could be counted as one of them.
Because he was afraid that there would be changes if he returned too late, he took out the Sleeping Moon Banner of Ten Thousand Beasts, and kept all the demon soldiers inside. Then, he jumped into the ground, and used the Earth Escape Technique to rush back.
