Han Wangke and the rest traveled underground for a day and night, but they still had not reached the bottom of the spiritual cave. The deeper they went, the more branching paths there were.
After making another turn, Han Wangke gestured for them to stop, and the three of them landed on a strange rock.
His gaze looked towards the seemingly bottomless and deep cave, and he said in a low voice, "This cave is really hidden too deep. If we go any further, we'll probably reach the Earth Lung. If the demonic cultivators occupy this place, then they'll definitely leave behind restrictions, but we didn't see any obstructions along the way. There's definitely a problem here."
Cai Rongju seemed to understand something and suddenly raised his head, "Senior Martial Brother is saying that this place is not actually occupied by demonic cultivators?"
Yesterday, he secretly chased that person here and when he fought with him, his talisman accidentally hit a mountain rock, causing it to collapse. Only then did he discover this hidden place. At that time, he thought that this matter was extremely urgent and hurriedly turned back, so he did not carefully examine it.
Han Wangke said in a low voice, "That's not the case. They gathered their forces to attack Linqing Monastery because of this spiritual cave. What I mean is that the spiritual opportunity here is not known, so we must have taken the wrong path. The right path should be somewhere else."
Peng Yuzhou said, "No matter what, the demonic cave's turbid Yin Qi is deposited below. As long as we destroy that place, we won't have to worry about anything else."
Han Wangke shook his head, "We can't go any further. Who knows how many more days we will have to travel. This time, I did not think it through and was not prepared. If the demonic sect has any arrangements above, we will be in danger. Let's turn back."
Peng Yuzhou was extremely unwilling and said loudly, "Uncle-Master, you are too cautious. This time, we have already killed all the demonic cultivators, not a single one escaped. What ambush are you afraid of? "
Han Wangke could not help but laugh, "Just Now, this Martial Nephew Peng is trying to persuade us to leave this spiritual cave so that we can lure the demonic cultivators. Now, he is anxious to accomplish something. With this many times, no wonder Uncle-Master Shen said that he cherishes his body when doing great things, forgets his life when seeing small benefits. Looks like the Chen Clan captured him. There is a reason for that. "
He shook his head and said in a profound tone, "Martial Nephew Peng, we can't run away from this place. Once we've made the preparations, we'll go to the underground cave first. It wouldn't be too late to clean it up later. Don't worry. You have contributed greatly to the annihilation of the enemy. When I return, I will make it clear to Bright Nether Prefecture. "
After saying that. He turned around and went back up. Cai Rongju followed him without hesitation.
Peng Yuzhou originally wanted to go down and deal with this matter on his own, obtaining a great merit. But Han Wangke's words made it clear that he still needed to prove his merit. Feeling like his weakness was being grasped, he looked down at the ground and unwillingly stamped his foot, transforming into a streak of light and flying up.
At this time, on the surface, a strange flying shuttle suddenly jumped out of the void. There were two people in it. One of them was hunchbacked and barefooted. His long hair was disheveled, and he was as thin as a skeleton. His body was shrouded in a churning mist, revealing only a pair of faint flickering eyes. The other person had a strange appearance. He had a high forehead and no facial features. His skin was pale, and his whole person seemed to be a mass of nothingness.
The strange-looking cultivator's face suddenly split open, revealing a crack. A fierce eyeball rolled around for a while before slowly closing, saying, "There is no aura of our Spirit Gate disciples here. They were all dead at the time."
The skinny cultivator sneered, "Qincang School is powerful. We had already warned them not to rashly provoke us. Now that they suffered a great loss, they went to complain to the gate. Instead, they made us come here to clean up the mess."
The strange-looking cultivator said, "Although this Spirit Cave isn't strong yet, it is deep enough to reach the Earth Aperture. If it were to be stored for several hundred years, it would at least be a small Spirit Cave. No wonder the gate values it so much."
As the two spoke, they carefully lowered the flying shuttle. At this time, the strange-looking cultivator's expression suddenly changed, saying, "Senior Brother, look."
The skinny cultivator's eyes narrowed. He saw a large hole in the mountain wall. It looked like it was made by a magic treasure. He said with a serious expression, "Not good, we were a step too late. This place has already been discovered by the Celestial Gate."
The strange-looking cultivator's body suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, there are people coming up from below. Their cultivation is far higher than ours. Retreat quickly."
The skinny cultivator was terrified. The letter said that the other party had a great cultivator at the 3rd level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and if he was trapped by the Restrictive Lock Technique, then it would be difficult for him to escape. Thus, he didn't dare to hesitate, and with a sudden shake of the flying shuttle, he was already several hundred meters away, and with another dash, he disappeared into the clouds.
After the two of them were a thousand miles away, they felt that there was no longer any danger. Only then did they stop the flying shuttle.
The skinny cultivator hid his hands in his sleeves and sighed, "It's a pity about that Spirit Cave."
The strange-looking cultivator rejoiced, "Senior Brother, why do you say so? That place is so close to Linqing Monastery. It will be leaked sooner or later. When that time comes, if Zhang Yan comes again, what will you and I do?"
The skinny cultivator deeply agreed. Back then, they had barely survived from Zhang Yan's hands, and they didn't want to go back and face him again.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a black smoke flying over from afar. His expression turned solemn, and he reached out to grab it. He immediately condensed the black smoke into a ball, and it turned into a flying letter. He opened it and couldn't help but jump, and he shouted, "Bastard! Whose idea was this? "
The strange-looking cultivator was puzzled, and he asked, "Why are you angry, Senior Brother?"
The skinny cultivator's hand trembled slightly, and he said angrily, "The sect sent a letter, ordering us to quickly go to Clear Nether Heavenly Lake. We must keep an eye on that Zhang Yan's every move."
The strange-looking cultivator was startled, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said in a deep voice, "Isn't there a sect's disciple already arranged there? Why do we suddenly need to go?"
The skinny cultivator put away the flying letter in annoyance, and he sighed, "There's no need to say anything. Something must have gone wrong again, and that's why they thought of us. But with the order, we have to obey it."
After the two discussed for a while, they dilly-dallied towards the Great Lake of Dragon Abyss. The flying shuttle was fast, but it took them four to five days to reach Clear Nether Heavenly Lake. However, because of the fear in their hearts, they didn't dare to get too close, and they sent out a talisman letter to summon them from afar.
After waiting for two hours, they saw a smoke baleful qi flying over, and they immediately sent out a spell to greet it.
That person was very cautious, and after circling two more times, he came up. When he reached the clouds, he saw a black-robed Daoist retracting his pill baleful qi, and he came forward to greet them. "Disciple Liao Fengtong greets the two uncle-masters."
The skinny cultivator said with a cold expression, "The sect hurriedly summoned us here. Do you know the reason? "
Liao Fengtong braced himself and said, "Speaking of this matter, it's my fault. Recently, Clear Nether Heavenly Lake has sent out many disciples, and they are building altars within a radius of a thousand miles. It seems like they are going to set up an array door inside. Disciple's cultivation is low, and I feel that I can't take on such a big responsibility, so I can only report to the sect …"
The skinny cultivator was startled, and he looked around vigilantly. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he relaxed slightly, and he pondered for a while. "If that's the case, then I can't blame you. You can't be blamed. Go back to the sect, leave this place to us. "
Liao Fengtong handed over a jade scroll with both hands, "This is disciple's record. It might be of help to the two uncle-masters. "
After the other party accepted it. He bowed. He lowered his head, and the cloud continued to escape from the surface.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed. Zhang Yan didn't wait for the devil sects to come for revenge. Instead, when the devil cultivators of East Flower North heard about this, they were all terrified, and they all disappeared without a trace.
But he didn't think that this was a calm sea. Even if the six great devil sects didn't make a move, it was inevitable that some small sects and small sects would come out to stir up trouble. Thus, he sent out flying letters everywhere, ordering the disciples stationed there to be more careful than before.
On this day, he was meditating in the sect, but a boy from the Floating Heavenly Palace came to say that the refined hut had been refined, and asked him to go to the Fang Chen Courtyard to get it.
After Zhang Yan ordered Jing You to send the boy away, he merged his dharma body with his physical body, and came out of the cave abode. He rode the cloud and headed east, and in less than a minute, he arrived in front of the Fang Chen Courtyard.
As if they sensed his arrival, countless Talisman flew up from the two opposite flying peaks below, and gathered into a wide cloud ladder, extending forward until his feet stopped Just Now. At the same time, a tall and handsome Taoist in a yellow robe walked out, with a cloud above his head that looked like crystal ice. It was Yue Chongyang, who was known as the Two Talents of Qincang. He came up and bowed, saying, "Zhenren Zhang, it's been a long time."
Zhang Yan returned the bow and smiled, "So it's Zhenren Yue, is Vice Headmaster Qiao here?"
Yue Chongyang replied, "Headmaster Qiao has been reincarnated more than ten years ago, and now the position of Vice Headmaster is held by I."
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Headmaster Qiao had already passed away after more than a hundred years.
There were nine courtyards in Qincang School, and most of the headmasters were Yuanying Elders who had high seniority in the school but had no hope of achieving Dao. It was just a title, and they usually didn't show up, and the secular affairs were all handled by the Vice Headmaster, who was the actual headmaster.
It was just that if this generation wasn't under the Top Ten Disciples or the Heavenly Grotto, they had no hope of entering the Three Upper Halls, and if they didn't have the opportunity, it would be difficult for them to advance further in Dao.
This Yue Chongyang was slightly older than him, and now that he had cultivated Yuanying, his aptitude was also extraordinary among his peers, and it was a pity that he was buried this time.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Today, I came here on the orders of the headmaster to take the 'Divine Insignia Essence Hut'."
Yue Chongyang moved sideways, and said, "The headmaster's decree has arrived, please come this way, Zhenren."
Zhang Yan smiled, lightly riding the wind, and followed him up the cloud ladder into the mountain. Not long after, they arrived in front of the Daoist Palace at the peak.
Landing on the empty ground in front of the palace, Yue Chongyang flicked a Talisman with his finger, and it hit the stone tablets on both sides. The restriction was immediately activated by him, and with a rumbling sound, a formation door opened below, revealing a square stone altar, and on top of it was a Refined Abode that was thirty feet tall, with high eaves.
Yue Chongyang looked over, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.
This item was personally made by the headmaster of Qincang, Qin Mobai. Even if it was taken by the Zhenren of the Heavenly Grotto, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything for a while.
He sighed inwardly, and said, "Zhenren, please watch, I'll take my leave first."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly, and said, "Headmaster Yue, if you're bored staying in the school, you can come find me at the Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity."
Yue Chongyang took a deep look at him, bowed, and took his leave.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves, and went into the Refined Abode. When he reached the inner room, he looked around, and saw that the place was simple and unadorned, without any extravagant decorations. In the middle, there was a pool platform that was half a foot high, and it was filled with clear spiritual water. It was where the Dharmakaya stored his physical body after traveling.
On the four corners, there were copper bells that could sense the wind and clouds in all directions, and if there was any danger, it would be immediately detected.
On the top of the hall, there was a piece of translucent, flawless, and sparkling Elixir Jade. This item was born from the Spiritual Eye of Qincang School. Breathing in and regulating one's breath with this item was no less than cultivating in the Floating Heavenly Palace. Just one of this item was enough for a cycle of sixty years.
On the pool platform, there was a palm-sized incense burner, and it was spitting out Three Qi Treasured Smoke. This smoke moistened the spirit, nourished the body, and warmed the spirit. This treasure couldn't be used by cultivators who weren't in the Third Stage of Yuanying. After a long period of nourishment, the Divine Qi would sense it, and there was a high chance that it could be refined into a real spirit. It could help cultivators take care of the Refined Abode, and it could also be used to control restrictions and defend against external enemies.
Zhang Yan walked forward, entered the pool, and sank down. Not long after, there was Spiritual Qi Jade Water entering his acupoints, moistening his entire body. His Divine Sense moved, and in an instant, the Refined Hut turned into a beam of clear light and flew through the air.
When the Refined Abode stabilized, he looked down, and saw that in less than a breath, he had actually escaped from the Fangchen Courtyard, and arrived in the sky above the Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity.
He couldn't help but smile. Now that he had obtained this item, and there was nothing to do inside or outside, he only needed to inform the Sect Leader, and he could leave for Shaoqing in a few days.
