The ocean current surged, and Zhang Yan floated along with the current for about an hour. Suddenly, a gentle light shone in front of him. This must be where the Demonic Cave was. If it wasn't for the fact that the direction wasn't right, he would have thought that it was the way back to the surface.
When he was about to get close, the water around him suddenly sped up and wrapped around him. He felt a rumble as if a barrier had been broken, and he crashed into it along with the ocean current.
The instant he entered, his body suddenly felt light, and the pressure that was originally pressing down on him disappeared. He hurriedly took a few steps to the side, avoiding the water that was rushing down. He stood in the air and looked around.
There was light and wind here, and it was bright and vast. There was a large opening in the sky, and water poured in from above, sinking down.
He adjusted his breathing slightly, and the rich spiritual energy almost rushed into his pores, instantly replenishing the spiritual energy that he had just consumed.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression. This was just the entrance, and the Spirit Qi in the Demonic Cave was already so dense. It was almost twice as dense as the Spirit Qi on the Spirit Page Island. If he went deeper, he couldn't imagine what it would be like.
If he could calm down and cultivate, reaching the Mystic Light Realm in a month wouldn't be a problem at all.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, wanting to search for Xie Zongyuan and the others. However, he saw mountains and rivers in the distance. There were palaces in the mountains, and there were countless immortals riding cranes.
He then heard Xie Zongyuan's voice, "Senior Martial Brother Zhang is here."
Turning around, he saw Xie Zongyuan, Liu Tao, Cheng An, Zhao Zhen, and even Madam Chen greeting him with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Yan shook his head and laughed, "You're here already? Unfortunately, going too far is as bad as not going far enough. "
He formed a hand seal and the Star Sword Ball suddenly leaped into the air. A misty blue brilliance shone and sword qi overflowed. With a few hissing sounds, the figures of these people twisted and disappeared.
Not only that, but the scenery in the distance had changed as well. The fairyland-like scene from before had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, and a cavern had appeared. It was around 300 meters wide and extremely spacious, and there were milk pillars hanging upside down from the top of the cavern. Their reflections on the surface of the water below were like numerous sharp pillars.
Not far to his left was a ravine with muddy water surging below. The seawater that rushed down flowed along this river and into a deep valley, forming a waterfall that splashed everywhere. It was an imposing waterfall.
Zhang Yan stood in the air with a thoughtful look on his face. Those should be Huanmo without a doubt.
He didn't think that he would meet a demon that was even stronger than the Yin Demons the moment he entered the cave. He heard that these demons could sense the desires of people and could create illusions to bewitch their prey. It seemed like it was true.
Just now, when the thought of looking for these people arose in his mind, coupled with his obsession to pursue the Great Dao, the devil immediately appeared.
However, hearing about them was not as good as meeting them in person. The legends were a bit exaggerated.
Not to mention other things, how could Zhao Zhen smile at others? This was really a big joke. It was obvious that the devil could not touch the depths of people's hearts and could only infect the shallow layer that was floating outside.
If one was vigilant and prepared in advance, it would not be hard to deal with them.
He looked around again, but did not find any traces of Xie Zongyuan and the others. He couldn't help but frown. Xie Zongyuan valued his promise and said that he would wait for him here, but he did not see him. Did something happen to him? Or did Fang Zhen and the others make a move?
He looked around again and saw that there were many caves and ravines in front of him. He did not know where they led to. If he did not have a map, it would be easy to get lost.
He took out the map from his sleeve and looked at it. There were four black dots near the entrance. On the surface, those were caves that could be used for cultivation. Why not go to those places first? Even if he couldn't find Xie Zongyuan and the others, there was no harm in staying there temporarily so that his cultivation wouldn't be delayed.
After looking at it a few more times, he put away the map and flew towards the cave closest to him.
After flying for a while, a mist suddenly drifted towards them from an unknown location. Everything before them was a vast expanse of whiteness. However, cultivators like Zhang Yan were able to see through thick mist. Thus, ordinary mist was clearly not affected.
Not long after, a large mirror-like square stone appeared in front of him. It seemed to support the heavens and the earth, smooth and flawless.
As Zhang Yan flew closer, his own appearance and the scenery around him were clearly reflected on it.
Looking at it, he found it somewhat familiar. Wasn't it similar to the Bluestone Screen Wall on Ying Luo Island?
At this moment, his own image on the stone wall suddenly moved. First, his muscles became thick, his facial features hardened, and his cheeks thickened. Then, it changed again. White hair slowly grew on his head, his flesh loosened, and his body was covered with wrinkles and spots. Then, his body gradually bent and aged. Finally, his flesh fell off and maggots crawled all over his body. Finally, he turned into a pile of white bones with two empty eyes.
"This … must be the legendary Stone of Illumination. Rumor has it that the people standing here will be illuminated and their entire lives will change." Zhang Yan stood for a while and said to himself, "Although it is an illusion, if I do not live forever, this is what will happen to me. I must keep it in mind and be vigilant at all times."
After saying that, he was about to detour around this place and continue to fly inside when he suddenly saw a dead body lying on a stone pillar. Judging from the clothes, it was actually the Daoist robe of the Ying Cang Sect.
Zhang Yan looked around vigilantly, then slowly floated over to the corpse. When he got close, he stretched out his hand and held up the person's chin. He raised the person's face a little and looked carefully. He discovered that it was one of the people who had come in with the Han Clan disciple.
He was about to investigate the cause of this person's death when he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar.
He didn't know if it was a friend or foe. At this moment, it was too late to go elsewhere. Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, and he leaned to the side to hide in the depression of this strange stone.
At this moment, he discovered that this corpse only had the upper body left. He didn't know where the lower body went. Moreover, it was empty of flesh and blood. Obviously, it had been sucked away.
He frowned slightly. Eating flesh and blood, this was the legendary method of the Walking Devil. This kind of devil could already manifest its body and was in the process of changing from Yin to Yang. It was equivalent to a cultivator of the second or third tier of Clear Qi. Moreover, it was extremely fast and very difficult to deal with.
The distant voice was getting closer and closer. He could distinguish that it was a man and a woman talking.
Zhang Yan reached out and made a hand sign, using the Qi Restraining Technique from the Billowing Cloud Secret Book. A thin mist rose under his feet and mixed with the faint mist around him. The breath of a living person on his body was gradually melted into it.
The distance between the two people was getting closer and closer. The man had a handsome face and wore a black Taoist robe. There was a large red blood cloud embroidered on his chest and shoulder. The contrast of black and red was extremely eye-catching. He held a red gourd in his hand.
The other woman wore a white robe, but her abdomen was exposed. There was an umbilical plug made of green pearls embedded on it, but it tightly covered her bulging chest and shoulders. She also wore a white cloth skirt, and her hair was tied up in a bun. Her face was coquettish and her figure was graceful.
The two of them were originally flying through the sky, but when they saw the corpse, they stopped and stood on a boulder not far away.
The man reached out and pointed, and a faint shadow appeared in the air. It was fluttering, but the face seemed to be a little vague. One could faintly see that this person was exactly the same as the Qincang School cultivator who died here.
"Junior sister, what do you think of my newly refined Blood Soul?"
The woman chuckled, and her eyes revealed a look of disdain. She said, "Senior brother, this is also considered a Blood Soul. Not only is its form scattered and weak, it also doesn't have a spiritual sense. When released, it can at most fly twenty steps. Whether it can harm people or not is another question."
The man laughed and said, "Of course it can't compare to junior sister's Blood Soul. But I haven't refined it for a long time. After a long time, it won't necessarily be weaker than yours."
The woman sighed and said, "Master is still the best. He only needed one Blood Soul to restrain the three disciples of the Qincang School who were at the third tier of the Clear Qi realm."
"Those few Qincang School cultivators are also powerful, especially the one with the fire-breathing divine ring. It seems like he is the nemesis of our Blood Souls. Not only did he burn the evil soul that I painstakingly refined, but even Master's Blood Soul was damaged by him. I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to condense before it can be used again."
At this point, the man's tone could not hide the pain in his heart.
The woman sneered and said, "I recognize that magic treasure. This treasure is called the Five Fire Divine Weapon Ring. It can break through all kinds of Yin objects. Hmph, if Master wasn't a thousand miles away at that time, and only a Blood Soul came here, how could we let him take advantage of us?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's heart trembled. Could these two be disciples of the Blood Soul Sect, one of the six great demon sects?
But, this is under the Sea Eye of Qincang School. How did they come in? Could it be that there are other paths here?
Xie Zongyuan and the others must have encountered these people and had no choice but to leave. Just how many of these Blood Soul Sect disciples came here?
At this time, he heard the woman say again, "For now, we can let the disciples of Qincang School jump around. In half a month, when Master subdues that true demon and rushes over, they won't be able to escape."
The man said, "Hehe, I originally wanted to follow the branch of the Little Demon Cave to search for the Great Demon Cave. I didn't expect that this place would lead directly to the hinterland of Qincang School. This is a pleasant surprise. We can't reveal this. In the future, it will be of great use. When we return, the elders will definitely reward us."
The woman looked around and said, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Li and the others said that they would meet here in six hours. Why haven't we seen them yet? Could it be that he had encountered some troublesome devil? Less words. "
The man laughed and said, "Senior Brother Li's cultivation is profound. There is no need for us to worry. If you want to talk about troublesome demons, I'm afraid it's you, Junior Sister."
The woman coquettishly rolled her eyes at him and said, "Senior Brother is making fun of me again."
They were joking here, but Zhang Yan frowned. From the words of the two people, they should be Clear Qi disciples. But he didn't expect that Senior Brother Li would come, and it seemed that there was more than one person. This was troublesome. If he waited for other Blood Soul Sect disciples to arrive, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.
He came here to cultivate. The other party originally didn't know of his existence, so he didn't want to clash with this person in advance. But now, he had no choice but to act.
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and his killing intent gradually rose.
