Zhang Yan flew in for a while and gradually reached the periphery of the Devil's Cave.
He took out a three feet long spiritual incense from his sleeve and looked at it. He raised his hand and touched it, but there was no movement.
He understood that the spiritual Qi here was still too weak to activate the spiritual opportunity. If he wanted to light up the incense, he had to go deeper.
Hence, he kept the spiritual incense and continued to fly deeper into the Devil's Cave.
Along the way, another 15 minutes passed.
Because countless spiritual waves were gathering here, the spiritual opportunity was shaking violently. It was getting more and more intense, and it looked like it could set off at any time.
He knew that when the spiritual opportunity accumulated to its peak, if there were no accidents, it would stabilize and condense the Devil's Cave.
But before that, with his cultivation level, if he was sucked into the spiritual wave, he would be in danger. Hence, he slowed down and was much more careful than Just Now.
After about half an hour, he felt that his mana was being triggered. His breath seemed to be resonating with the surrounding spiritual opportunity. It felt like if he relaxed, he would be sucked out.
His eyes flashed and he steadied his body. Fortunately, his strength path Mystic Technique was able to withstand it. If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator was here, he would definitely die under the impact of the violent spiritual vigor around him.
He took out half of the spiritual incense and looked at it, but there was no movement. Seeing that it was still not working, he continued to go deeper.
After walking for a few miles, he slowly stopped.
He took out the Clear Spirit Incense again and saw it tremble slightly. Then, streams of Spiritual Vigor gathered towards him.
After a few breaths, the tip of the incense suddenly lit up. A wisp of green smoke came out and there was a struggling force in his hand.
He smiled and flicked his sleeve, letting it fly away.
After the incense left his hand, it slowly floated into the cave and suddenly stood up. It was like a spark had been extinguished, and a wisp of spiritual smoke curled up and flew up.
He looked up and waved his sleeve. The waves rushed under his feet. The waves tumbled and spread out. However, because of the spiritual opportunity, he could only swing for a few miles. It was not that he could not use his mana. He could continue. It was equivalent to fighting against the Spirit's Cave, so he had to hold back.
After he spread out the water, he had another thought. With a light flick of his finger, a speck of spiritual light flew over and hid somewhere.
At this time, Baili Qingyin was also searching downwards. He could still keep up at first, but later on, because of the suppression of the spirit tide, he had no choice but to slow down and become cautious.
Due to the spiritual vigor that was constantly wearing down his Dharmakaya, he had no choice but to keep his Dharmakaya clone and use his treasured weapon to protect it.
However, it was only a temporary emergency.
Magic treasures were also damaged in this place. If he didn't retreat, he would have to rely on his own body to resist.
As they gradually entered the depths of the spirit cave, Baili Qingyin's expression also became grave.
He knew very well that the further down he went, the more spiritual energy a cultivator would need. Even though he was considered one of the most talented cultivators in his generation, he still couldn't hold on. However, he still hadn't seen Zhang Yan's figure. It was obvious how powerful his spiritual energy was. Even if he found him, could he defeat him?
He thought to himself, why not listen to Zhenren Wen and retreat?
Just as this thought emerged from the bottom of his heart, he suppressed it in an instant.
If he judged the situation earlier and withdrew early, he could still do it. However, if he retreated now, it was clear that he was taking refuge from danger. He couldn't even grasp the opportunity that was close at hand and didn't dare to fight for it. How could he talk about the grotto-heaven in the future?
At this point, there was no possibility of retreating. He could only go all out and move forward.
He threw away all distracting thoughts and took out a jade bottle. He poured it into his mouth and swallowed a few medicinal pills. When his spiritual energy gradually recovered, he shouted and used his strength to knock away the spirit tide. With a speed that was much faster than Just Now, he traveled towards the depths of the demon cave.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly noticed a solitary green smoke. It was like a pillar that reached the heavens. It emerged from below and floated towards the top.
He turned his head and looked down. In the midst of the turbulent waves, Zhang Yan was standing with his hands clasped behind his back. His cloak was fluttering with the surrounding wind. On top of his head, there was a crystal clear jade piece that was spinning around. A spiritual incense was not far away from him. It looked like he could protect it with just a stretch of his hand.
His gaze sharpened. If he wanted to destroy the spiritual incense, it seemed like he could only attack from the front.
With a slight tremble of his body, he shifted his mana and was about to form the blood doppelgangers. However, this time, only a few doppelgangers were suddenly sucked in by the surrounding spiritual vigor. Before they could even react, they were sucked in and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan smiled indifferently. In the depths of the demon cave, not only was it difficult to move one's body, it was also difficult to fly. There were very few methods and magical weapons that could be used. Even the cultivator's own senses were weakened to the lowest level. This was something that even he didn't expect.
Only Yuanying's third stage great cultivators, who were well versed in the mysteries of the spiritual vigor, could move here and still preserve some battle power.
And the blood doppelgangers were only sent out with mana. Perhaps they still had a weak wisp of spirit, but they were powerless to resist the spiritual tide that was rushing back and forth.
Baili Qingyin took another look at the spiritual incense. Although not much time had passed, a short section of it had already been burned. According to this calculation, it would burn out in at most a quarter of an hour.
This also meant that he had to take down Zhang Yan within this period of time. Only then could he stop the Qincang School's Daoist Dongtian from coming. Compared to Just Now, it could be said that the position of host and guest had changed, and the situation was very unfavorable to him.
He took a deep breath and shook his shoulder lightly, releasing another magical power clone. Other than the soul of the clone being slightly inferior to the real body, the other was no different. It could also stand its ground here, and it might not be impossible for it to win if it was two against one.
At this moment, there was no time to waste. Without saying a word, he and the doppelganger revolved their mana at the same time, releasing the blood cloud big hand and slapping it down.
This attack was not expected to overwhelm the opponent, but to cover his own secret move.
After the big hand was launched, he took out more than two hundred Yuangang Thunder Beads from his sleeve and waited for the opportunity to attack.
When Zhang Yan saw the incoming attack, he released the Fa Li on his body. Suddenly, a huge hand with yellow smoke billowing out of it was formed, and he raised it upwards.
The three big hands collided fiercely in a split second. In the muffled sound of thunder, the red and yellow colors burst apart at the same time, and then mixed together.
But all of a sudden, many pitch-black lightning beads rained down from the sky.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but slightly squint his eyes. He had seen the power of these thunder beads from Daoist Xin. They were indeed powerful. When they exploded, even the water element true light couldn't contain them. If he let them come, even if he wasn't afraid, the spiritual incense might not be unaffected.
With a thought, the sound of swords suddenly rang out beside him. Then more than a hundred sword lights flew up at the same time, coming forward to meet them.
Baili Qingyin revealed a cold and disdainful expression. Raising his hand, he released the Yuangang Whirlpool. But just as he was about to exert force to pull the flying swords, suddenly, a dot of clear light flew out from nowhere and lightly attached to it. The Yuangang Whirlpool seemed to be pinched by something, instantly fixed in midair, unable to move anymore.
At the same time, sword lights flew back and forth, accurately hitting the thunder beads, exploding them in midair.
All of this happened in less than a breath's time. When Baili Qingyin exerted force and shook off the Sun Locking Cicada attached to the whirlpool, all the thunder beads were cleaned up.
Zhang Yan didn't wait for the opponent to make a move, already making the first move. With a flick of his sleeve, a sparkling and dazzling jade bead was shaken out. Then another one was thrown out, followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth …
In the end, there were a total of nine crystal beads floating in the air, one behind the other, forming a circle, constantly spinning.
When these nine beads appeared, it was as if an ancient demon had been released. A peerlessly fierce and tyrannical aura immediately spread out in the devil cave.
These nine beads were the Origin Beads left behind by the ancient Heaven Demon Guo Yuan Jun. At their peak, each one had the power to shake the heavens and the earth.
Even though they couldn't display their full power in Zhang Yan's hands, six of them still contained the essence of the Heaven Demon within. Their power was great, not inferior to ordinary True Weapons. If these nine beads were thrown out at the same time, there was no other way out except to try to dodge.
Baili Qingyin had long ago been greatly on guard when he took out the first Origin Bead. When the nine beads were in the air, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, knowing that he had lost in this battle.
If it was somewhere else, he might still have a chance to escape by relying on his magic treasures, but it wasn't easy to move around in the depths of the spirit cave. If he flew too fast, he wouldn't even have to wait for people to kill him before he would be torn to shreds.
However, as the eldest disciple of this generation of the Blood Soul Sect, he naturally wouldn't be willing to wait for death.
He laughed out loud, his body swayed, and he kept his mana clone. Then, he made a hand sign and used a secret method. In just a moment, his mana climbed up layer by layer, explosively increasing by more than a fold.
Then, with a shout, he gathered all the strength in his body and turned into a thirty feet wide, incomparably imposing blood light that dived down.
This was the "Han Yang Life Release True Method" that Baili Qingyin used all his mana and lifespan to cast. However, his goal wasn't to rely on this to kill Zhang Yan, but to sacrifice his own life, and then affect the spiritual opportunity in the spirit cave to perish together with him. At the very least, he would destroy the spirit incense!
Zhang Yan's gaze was completely calm as he flicked his fingers lightly, and he shot out the nine Origin Pearls one by one. Numerous rays of jade light shot out, and then a string of rumbling that sounded like the heavens and the earth rumbled. In the blink of an eye, the blood red figure was drowned within expanse after expanse of dazzling and resplendent pearls.
However, it was exactly as Baili Qingyin wished. With his stirring, the spiritual opportunity immediately tumbled, like a tsunami surging up.
Zhang Yan first kept the nine Origin Beads, then gave a shout. His feet stomped, and he revolved the mana of the Divine Contract to the extreme, firmly fixing his body in the distance. At the same time, he spread out his sleeves, doing his best to protect the Clear Spirit Incense.
At this time, a celestial music suddenly rang out from between his brows, and a sparkling light flew out, circled outside, and then flew back. It was only a short moment.
After a while, the world suddenly went silent, and the turbulent spirit tide calmed down, as if it was suppressed by a pair of invisible forces.
Zhang Yan's heart moved, and he turned his head to look. He saw that the Clear Spirit Incense had burned to the end, leaving only a pile of ash on his sleeve.
After a moment, an incomparably magnificent spiritual opportunity descended from the sky!
