On the second day, Zhang Yan came to the peak to look for Shen Baishuang. After greeting her, he said, "Although the great demon has been destroyed, Martial Nephew still needs to go to the forbidden land to see if there is anything left out. I hope Martial Uncle can help me."
The Sky Demon was dead, so it did not matter whether he went to the forbidden land or not. This was just an excuse to use Shen Baishuang's power to go to the South Continent to deter the two sects from acting rashly in the future.
Shen Baishuang did not say much. She pointed her hand and a house rose from the flat ground. When the door opened, she stepped in.
Zhang Yan followed him into the inner room. From the outside, the abode only took up about ten feet of space, but the inner room was quite spacious. There was a gurgling stream, and there were pavilions, terraces, and towers. Not far away, there was a pond with many golden carps jumping in it.
Shen Baishuang did not care about him and went to the pond. She found a green stone and sat cross-legged on it. She then swung the fishing rod on her shoulder forward and sank the bait into the water. She then leisurely fished there.
Zhang Yan took a few glances and slowly walked onto a stone bridge. When he reached the end, he realized that he had stepped onto a winding corridor. He walked along the corridor and was soon blocked by a strange stone surrounded by bamboo shoots. At this time, a delicate and pretty girl came out from inside. Seeing him coming, she smiled kindly and raised her slender finger to secretly point somewhere. After that, she turned around and disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yan saw that it was a stone spirit. He smiled and did not think much of it. He walked in the direction she pointed. After passing through a gourd door, his eyes widened. In front of him was a bamboo forest of several acres. The bamboo array was faint, the green smoke was light, and the sound of birds was rising and falling.
After walking less than a hundred steps, he found a small pavilion at a high place. From the dense bamboo branches, he quietly peeked out a corner of the eaves. He walked around a small gravel path and saw a pile of gravel steps. He moved up and in a short while, he arrived at the pavilion.
There were stone stools and stone tables. There was also a fallen book chest. A few scrolls of calligraphy and paintings were scattered messily, as if they were thrown here casually.
He went up to pick up a scroll of calligraphy and saw that the woman was inside Just Now. She bowed to him. There was a pleading look in his eyes.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and roughly guessed the cause and effect. He smiled and said, "As long as the owner of this place is willing, I can help you escape."
He put away the painting. He was about to follow the same path. The scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He found that he had returned to the place where he first came from. Glancing sideways, he saw that Shen Baishuang was still there. However, he had already changed into a set of white Daoist robes. He held a fragrant tea in his hand and slowly tasted it, appearing to be happy and contented. There was a small red clay stove in front of him, steaming hot. A fat white rabbit was holding a large cattail leaf fan and was currently fanning it with all its might. In a pavilion not far away, there was an elegant young girl playing the zither and singing. Her voice was gentle and clear, like the flowing water under a bridge.
Zhang Yan walked over. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Baishuang waved her hand and said, "If you've obtained anything, then take it. There's no need to tell me."
Zhang Yan smiled and opened the painting and kept it in his sleeve. He looked around and asked, "May I ask Uncle-Master, where is this place?"
Shen Baishuang said, "This is a cave abode that I accidentally entered when I was traveling around other continents. It's called the 'Three Jade Secluded Bamboo Abode'. After becoming a cave abode, I refined it into a spiritual abode. However, even though this abode is in my hands, I don't know the whole picture. As for what is inside, I have no way of knowing."
Zhang Yan was interested and said, "Uncle-Master, do you have a reason for doing this?"
Shen Baishuang laughed and said, "Keep some. When you're in the mood, you can go and explore. Just Now, it's interesting. Everything is clear. That would be too boring."
At this moment, his expression changed. He shook his sleeves and stood up. He said, "We've already reached the Land Boundary. Follow me down."
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. Just Now, a round trip would take at most an hour. This instrument's flying speed was a little too fast.
Shen Baishuang glanced at him and said with a smile, "Nephew, this cave abode is mysterious. When you enter here, even though you feel that only a moment has passed, in fact, ten days have passed. There are some benefits in this. I won't tell you in detail. You'll know in the future."
He waved his hand and there was the sound of bamboo curtains swaying. The door of the cave abode was opened. Water flowed out from all sides and reached the feet of the two. The clear water surged and slowly pushed them out of the cave abode.
Zhang Yan followed the clear water out of this place. He realized that he was still in the sky. Looking down from the clouds, he saw a valley below. It was connected to several mountain peaks. It could be seen that there used to be palaces and towers. But now there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere. Within a hundred miles, it was shrouded by a layer of greenish-yellow poisonous fog. It looked like it was getting stronger.
Shen Baishuang shook his head and said, "The spiritual vigor of the land below has been destroyed on purpose. Even if the poisonous gas is dispersed, it's still a dangerous place."
He mobilized his spiritual vigor and went down to explore. After making one round, he said, "There's nothing strange in the seal. I'll give you a protective talisman so you can go in and explore. But don't stay too long. You have to come back within an hour."
As he said this, he flicked his finger and a golden light wrapped around Zhang Yan's body.
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and used the Earth Element Escape Technique. He dived down and his figure suddenly disappeared. After traveling for thousands of feet, he came to an empty cave. The place was full of broken stones piled up like a mountain. Looking at the outline, he could vaguely tell that it was originally a stone tablet.
He had an idea and secretly used his technique to deduce. When he had an idea, he waved his sleeve and countless broken stones flew up. One by one, they fell and gathered together. Not long after, the stone tablet returned to its original appearance.
As he went closer to take a closer look, he saw that there were countless Xuan patterns engraved on it. They were mixed together with many eroded writings. It looked chaotic but it seemed to be very orderly. He could not understand it at the moment, so he simply put away the Water Element True Light and kept it.
After taking away this item, his vision became empty. At this moment, he looked around again and unexpectedly found a round jade in the corner. However, it was bright red, like a piece of blood clot. He also kept it into his bag.
After walking one round in the inner room, he did not see anything else. He then leaped back to the sky. When he saw Shen Baishuang, he did not hide anything and told him what he saw in the inner room.
Shen Baishuang thought for a while and said, "That stone tablet should have been used by the founding master to suppress the Sky Demon. Since you've obtained it, you should keep it carefully. Don't let others take it. As for the blood jade, let me take a look."
Zhang Yan took out the item and opened his palm. The blood jade trembled and actually wriggled under the scorching sun.
Shen Baishuang looked at it and said in surprise, "If I'm not wrong, this item should be the rumored 'Pearl Containing Pearl'."
Zhang Yan asked, "What is the use of this item?"
Shen Baishuang said, "Just like the Qian Kun Sleeve Pouch that you and I use. This is used by the Sky Demon to store external objects. However, this item can be swallowed into the abdomen and travel with its own blood essence. Outsiders can forget about taking it. If there is the blood essence of the demon, you can take a look. However, since Guo Yuan Jun left this pearl here, there should be nothing good inside."
Zhang Yan knew that Shen Baishuang was right. If there was anything valuable, Guo Yuan Jun most likely would not have left it here. However, after ten thousand years, this item could still maintain its spirituality. There must be something extraordinary about it. Even if there was nothing inside, it was worth keeping. Who knows, it might be useful in the future.
Shen Baishuang was not interested in these two items. At this moment, he suddenly looked up and said, "They knew that I was here."
After he arrived, he did not deliberately restrain his aura. Naturally, he immediately alerted the people of the three Heavenly Abodes. However, he did not come here. Instead, he first gathered in another place. It was obvious that he wanted to group up before coming here.
It was no wonder that the three of them acted this way. Shen Baishuang had just arrived in the continent and had already dispersed Zheng Weixing's dharma. Not to mention the strength that he revealed, he seemed to be unscrupulous in his actions. How could they not be careful when dealing with him?
Shen Baishuang raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't wait for them. Nephew Zhang, do you have anything else to do? I'll take care of it as well. "
Zhang Yan thought about it and said, "One of my house's guests is hiding in the sea not far from here. There were originally one or two Yuanying people who wanted to join my sect. However, they were afraid that Fengxiang Sword School would kill them on their way. Just Now, they are hiding and have yet to come out. Now, I can bring them here."
Shen Baishuang immediately said, "Bring it out."
He waved his sleeves and there was a loud bang. A wave of clouds rose from the flat ground and stirred up a mighty Qi Shield. He then rumbled as he flew into the sky.
After half a day, he arrived at the South Sea Boundary. Not long after, he found the celestial city.
This celestial city was built by the remaining cultivators after the three evil sects were annihilated. They relied on the Ku Xin Sect.
It wasn't that the Ku Xin Sect didn't know about its origin. However, they would offer many demons' bones and treasures from the sea to the celestial city every year. They were very respectful and didn't come out to cause trouble. Therefore, the celestial city just let them be.
For the past several hundred years, this place had always been calm and tranquil. However, with Shen Baishuang's arrival, in a split second, the wind and clouds moved, setting off boundless raging waves. The cultivators below felt the overwhelming spirit wave, and all of them were extremely frightened and panicked. If it wasn't for the boundless Qi activity surrounding this place, making it impossible to get out, who knows how many of them would have escaped long ago.
Somewhere in the city, Goh Su-min was playing chess with Zhang Boyan. When she felt the huge Qi Dynamic pressing down on her, her hand trembled and the chess piece fell to the ground. She looked outside the city with a pale face and said, "Oh no, trouble is coming. It must be Zhenren Fengxiang Gan who came to capture us."
Zhang Boyan's expression was still calm. He looked at Goh Su-min and sneered, "This Daoist Wu thinks too highly of himself. There are only a few of us. How is it worth the Zhenren Fengxiang Gan to go to war with us?" If he knew we were here, he could just send a messenger over to talk to the city lord. Why would he go all out for us?
He turned around and saw a child beside him wasn't panicking at all. He asked, "Shen Dong, aren't you afraid?"
Goh Su-min shook her head and sighed, "He's just a child. What does he know?"
Shen Dong bowed and said, "If Zhenren isn't afraid, then I won't be afraid. If Zhenren is afraid, then it's useless for me to be afraid."
Zhang Boyan found his words interesting and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
Shen Dong lowered his head and thought about it. He then shook his head.
A green flame appeared in Zhang Boyan's eyes and jumped around. He said coldly, "Why?"
Shen Dong said seriously, "If Zhenren wanted me to be his disciple, he would have taken me in long ago. He wouldn't have waited until today. It's obvious that he isn't sincere. He's just making fun of me."
At this moment, a clear laugh came from outside the door, "Zhang Zhang, I guess you and I aren't fated. I have an inheritance technique here. Are you willing to learn it?"
