Zhang Yan followed the map along the way and found many locations that were marked on the map. However, he was not satisfied with any of them. Either the locations were too obvious, or the demons were too powerful, and he did not dare to enter easily. Finally, he found a suitable cave in an inconspicuous ravine.
This place was well hidden, and there were two exits in the front and back. There was also an underground river in the cave that led elsewhere. If anything happened, he could swim along the river and leave in time.
After tidying up the cave, he estimated the time in his heart.
Even though there was no sundial or hourglass, cultivators could sense the specific changes in time from the movement of the Qi in their organs. It was about the end of the second day after entering the Devil's Cave.
This meant that in order to find this place to stay and cultivate, he had already spent an entire day.
Sitting down on a stone platform that had been flattened, Zhang Yan finally had the time to look through the sleeves of the two Blood Soul Sect disciples. Most of them were things that were commonly used by cultivators, and there was nothing eye-catching. However, there was a small bottle that contained pills that caught his attention.
As Zhou Zhongju's disciple, he naturally had some knowledge. He could tell at a glance that this was a "Vitality Essence Pill."
His expression showed that he had expected this. The Blood Soul Sect had indeed secretly refined this kind of pill.
This fragrant pill, which would make anyone want to swallow it, was actually refined using the essence of cultivators. Moreover, one could only refine one pill for every five cultivators killed. These two bottles of Qi Blood Essence Pills were probably gathered by killing hundreds of cultivators.
However, upon closer inspection, he could vaguely see that each pill had a faint trace of blood. Zhang Yan nodded. It seemed that these Devil Sect disciples did not have the guts to hunt down human cultivators. These pills were probably obtained after killing demon cultivators.
Under the suppression of the top ten sects, the six demonic sects had kept a low profile for hundreds of years. They did not dare to openly kill people or refine pills. They were even forbidden from cultivating many cruel and evil methods. Therefore, they got along quite well. Whenever the cultivation sects of the Donghua Continent were mentioned, they would always refer to them as the sixteen sects.
In reality, it was not that the six demonic sects wanted to turn over a new leaf. It was because many methods required all kinds of strange demons to cultivate. Now, there were not that many demons for them to use. Disciples of the demonic sects often fought to capture demons. Therefore, whenever demons appeared, disciples of the demonic sects would come. They were even more active than the disciples of Xuanmen.
Therefore, these years, the demonic and celestial sects had maintained a balanced situation.
But recently, Zhang Yan had heard a rumor in the sect that the demonic and celestial sects were coming. It was that more and more demons would appear in the Devil's Cave. The other four Caves that no one knew where would appear one after another. So the sect decided to take the three and expand the sect to deal with the demonic and celestial sects.
If this was true, then it would completely break the current balance in the Donghua Continent. It was only a matter of time before the demonic and celestial sects would start killing each other.
Zhang Yan smiled lightly. The demonic and celestial sects were also people's tribulations. The demonic and celestial sects were people's hearts. Wasn't it an opportunity for a cultivator like him? At that time, the ones who would really be worried would probably be the aristocratic families of Xuanmen who were trying to maintain the status quo.
Putting away the two sleeves, he sank his consciousness into his energy reserve. He looked inside at the drop of Heavy Yin Water that was floating quietly. He was filled with emotion.
According to the Lan Yun Secret Manual, the more Heavy Yin Water there was, the more powerful it would be. Therefore, he did not think much of this drop of water. But he did not expect that when it hit the male cultivator of the Xuehuo Clan, it would be so powerful. If he had two or three drops at that time, he might have been able to kill him in one blow.
The deeper he went into the Devil's Cave, the colder the underground river became. This was a good place to condense Heavy Yin Water. He believed that if he calmed down and refined it, he would be able to condense eight to ten drops of Heavy Yin Water in two months. At that time, even if he did not rely on magic treasures, it would be difficult for him to find a match among his peers.
Unfortunately, with a great enemy in front of them, Zhang Yan did not think that the people of the Xuehuo Clan would give him time to cultivate in peace. In order to keep the secret that they could enter the Devil's Cave, they would definitely find a way to eradicate all the disciples of the Qincang School here.
It was even possible that they would send people to guard the exit of the Sea Eye on the fifteenth day. At that time, there would definitely be a conflict.
Therefore, Zhang Yan had no choice but to do his best to increase his cultivation as soon as possible.
Before cultivating, in order to avoid the Yin Devil's intrusion, he took out a Calming Pill from his sleeve and swallowed it. Then, he took out the Gold Element Cloud Sand.
He threw it into the air. When it was about to fall, a stream of Spiritual Qi leaped out from the top of his head and held the Cloud Sand, suspending it one foot above his head. Zhang Yan sat on the stone platform and released the restraint on his mind, allowing the Primordial Spirit in his Ocean of Qi to rush towards the Cloud Sand.
The abundant Spiritual Qi in the outside world was endless, inciting the Spiritual Opportunity continuously, causing the eighty-one Spiritual Qi to rotate slowly in his chest, continuously producing Primordial Spirit and sending it to the Cloud Sand. One cycle after another, the process of refining the Cloud Sand was not interrupted.
If it was on the Spirit Page Island, how could it be done to this extent? It would only take two to three hours for the Primordial Spirit to be exhausted. If he wanted to continue, he would need to spend a few more days to breed it again.
After a day, the Cloud Sand above his head gradually emitted a faint golden glow. However, it was flickering, like a weak tinder that could be extinguished at any time.
Zhang Yan knew that this was the most crucial moment, so he did not dare to slack off. His spirit became extremely focused, and the golden glow became brighter and brighter. The Cloud Sand rotated faster and faster in the air, absorbing the Primordial Spirit faster and faster.
In the end, the Cloud Sand exploded with a 'pop' and became a pile of useless powder, scattering in all directions. The Gold Element in it was completely absorbed by the Primordial Spirit. A dazzling golden glow floated in the air, shining like the stars in the night sky.
Zhang Yan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a long breath. Then, he retracted the eighty-one Spiritual Qi back into his chest. He extended a finger and placed it in front of him. The glow slowly floated down from the air and stopped on the tip of his finger.
Suddenly, a bone-piercing sharp Qi came over, and even his Divine Soul felt a faint prickling pain.
He couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy in his eyes.
Finally, a seed of Profound Light was formed. In the future, he just needed to keep using spells to strengthen it. When the light of this seed could shine out of his Sea of Qi, he would be able to step into the first level of the Mystic Light Realm – Initial Enlightenment.
He took out the Stars Sword Orb and activated the Seed of Mysterious Light to attach itself to it. As soon as he activated it, the Sword Orb instantly turned into a ray of light that expanded and expanded. When he activated it again, it pushed outwards and enveloped his entire body.
Zhang Yan raised his head to take a look, then laughed out loud. "Good! With this Seed of Profound Light, I'll be able to form a sword sphere, and even its size and shape can be changed by my will. Furthermore, it can wrap around my corporeal body and fly, and its speed is several times faster than riding on the clouds. With this technique, even if I'm no match for a powerful cultivator, I'll still be able to escape far away.
In the past, the method he used to control the Sword Orb was actually very rough. Most people could only use the true power of the Sword Orb after reaching the Mystic Light Realm. Now, he could use some of the methods, and he had another life-saving method, which greatly increased his confidence.
This Seed of Profound Light only took a day to condense, and it was extremely fast. Now that he was confident, he decided to refine all the Cloud Sand in one go.
After adjusting his breathing, he took out the water-type Cloud Sand that he got from Gui Congyao and threw it into the air. He used his Spirit Qi to hold it and refined it again.
In the following two days, he had condensed the Water, Wood, and Fire Elemental Profound Light Seeds one by one.
However, on the third day, something strange happened. When he activated the four Seeds of Mystic Light together, an earthy yellow Seed of Mystic Light appeared in the center of his Sea of Qi. The other four Seeds of Mystic Light were arranged according to the West Gold, East Wood, North Water, and South Fire.
Zhang Yan found to his surprise that the last Earth-elemental Seed of Mystic Light didn't need the Cloud Sand to form on its own.
After thinking about it and combining it with the details of his cultivation, he understood.
The five elements created each other. After the Metal-elemental Seed was formed, he used the Metal-type Seed and the Water-type Seed formed faster. He then used the Water-type Seed to nourish the Water-type Seed, and the Water-type Seed to strengthen the Fire-type Seed. Once the four elements were formed and used at the same time, the excess essence would have nowhere to go and would form the Earth-type Seed. Therefore, there was no need to use the Cloud Sand at all.
No wonder the speed at which he refined the Mystic Seed became faster and faster.
However, this was also because he was in a demonic cave and the essence was endless. If he was on the Spirit Page Island, he wouldn't be able to do this.
"Now that I've formed all five, I'll be able to cultivate the Five Direction Five Elemental Great Mystic True Light after I reach the Mystic Light Realm."
Thinking up to here, he suddenly saw a five-colored light around his body. It was as if he could move mountains and drain oceans with just a slight movement. He couldn't help but smile and say, "You've come to disturb me again."
It turned out that those Huanmo had come again. This time, they felt his desire for great divine power, so they automatically showed him an illusion, luring him to fall into it. If his mind was bewitched, more and more devils would take advantage of him. In the end, his soul would be scattered, and he would become a walking corpse.
Zhang Yan didn't have the heart to chase them away. One had to know that the deeper he went into the demonic cave, the more demons there were. There were countless Yin Demons and Illusionary Demons, and they were extremely annoying. In the beginning, he had tried to kill them, but he was already used to it. Most of the time, he just ignored them. After all, as long as his mind was unaffected, they couldn't do anything to him.
Looking at the illusions around him, he was about to take out a Mind Calming Pill and eat it. However, at this moment, his heart moved and he put down the pill. He purposely thought about the scenes from his previous life, as well as the images of his friends and comrades that he had fought with.
Sure enough, after being influenced by his thoughts, a few figures appeared in front of his eyes one after another.
Looking at those familiar yet unfamiliar figures, Zhang Yan first sighed in disappointment. Then, with a carefree smile, he said, "Is this the flaw in my heart? Thank you all for letting me see myself clearly so that I won't be taken advantage of by this expert in the future. "
The instant he said this, he suddenly felt as if the gap in his mind was filled up by something. His soul and body became even closer, and there were no longer any flaws.
When he looked up again, the illusions in front of him had already disappeared.
