Zhang Yan turned into a ray of light and flew to the bottom of the valley. After a few breaths, he arrived at the bottom.
At this moment, there was a deep pit in front of him. From the sand on the outside of the pit, he could tell that it was made from the inside out.
His expression did not change. The spiritual vigor of the three western continents was not flourishing. The time to restrain the Sky Demon was even shorter than he had imagined. Since the first two Sky Demons had escaped before he arrived, then it was expected that this one could escape the restriction.
But there seemed to be something strange about the surroundings. He could not sense the specific situation below.
After careful observation, he saw that there were many colorful stones around. He immediately understood.
This stone was called the Ingenious Embroidery Stone. If a cultivator used this to build an altar, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
However, the stones in front of him weren't naturally formed. Instead, they were moved here by someone. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the fierce demon was doing.
He pondered for a while and decided to explore. He waved his sleeves and floated in.
The bottom of the pit was deep and dark, the bottom could not be seen. There seemed to be an unknown spiritual vigor circling around it. Even with his mana, he could only see a hundred feet ahead. As he descended, there were occasional pebbles falling. After a long time, there was an echo of emptiness.
The further he went down, the narrower the path. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally reached the ground.
At this moment, he saw two tunnels in front of him. In the middle, there was a big stone with words written on it, "If a guest from afar is here, please take the left path."
Zhang Yan thought for a while. This demon must have expected that someone would come to capture it, so it left it behind.
This demon was not ordinary. Other Sky Demons were extremely afraid of being sealed again. They wanted to erase all traces of their family, but it did not seem to be afraid of people knowing.
Zhang Yan wanted to see exactly what kind of arrangements this Fei Niu had made to actually have such confidence. He smiled and walked to the left as he was told.
When he reached the tunnel, he suddenly felt a stuffy feeling. It was different from the fire on the demon swine. It was extremely dry and hot. It was extremely dry and unbearable. Deep in his heart, there was an inexplicable irritation.
He activated his Xuan Qi and his mind became clear.
At the same time, he was a little surprised. This White-headed Raging Bull was quite powerful. It can cause epidemics and droughts. Everywhere it passed, water and trees withered, and humans and animals died. Now that he could sense it, could it be that it was still here?
His eyes flashed, but his feet didn't stop. He traveled along the winding tunnel for four to five miles. When he reached the end, he turned around and entered a cave. He saw a ball of gentle light in front of him, like a warm jade or a warm sun.
When he got closer to take a look, he saw that there was a large boulder there, and on top of it was a white-headed bull. It had a single eye on its face, and its tail was like a long snake. Its entire body was like a crystalline glazed jade, and it shone brightly. At this moment, it seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Zhang Yan took a few glances and confirmed that there was no soul attached to the body at all. It was just an empty shell.
He raised his eyebrows. Could it be that this Raging Bull was so decisive, abandoning its body here and only taking off its soul?
At this moment, his gaze turned and was attracted by a stone tablet at the side. He took a few steps forward and saw a line of words left on it. It said, "My body is here. If any junior wants it, just take it. Remember to owe me a favor. If you don't fulfill it, I will personally come from beyond the heavens to ask for it."
He thought about it. Listening to the tone of the words, it seemed like it didn't care about the body. However, since this demon came from beyond the heavens, it wasn't surprising that it had such methods.
Of course, it could have purposely played tricks, and the soul went to hide somewhere else. If he wanted to find it, it wouldn't be that easy.
No matter what, he had to keep this body first. Even if this demon could cultivate and return, it would take at least tens of thousands of years.
As for the so-called cause and effect, he laughed coldly and didn't care about it at all.
Back then, this bull was suppressed by the Great Underworld Ancestor, and it wasn't that it was willing to be restrained here. Now, it made it sound like it was taking care of a junior.
He was originally here on orders to get rid of future troubles. Even if he was really implicated, the first one would fall on the Great Underworld Ancestor.
If this demon was still here, he would ask, "Do you dare to ask for it back?"
He shook his sleeves and took out the Demon Subduing Slip. After the slip swallowed two Heaven Demon bodies, the light on the slip became brighter. After circling around the bull for a while, it suddenly turned into light and shone down, covering it.
Zhang Yan waited at the side for three days before the light slowly dissipated. When it reformed into the shape of the Demon Subduing Slip, it let out a clear cry and flew back. He lifted his sleeves and let it fall in.
At this moment, on the ground, there was only a pile of snow-like jade shards and two gray-black horns. He knew that they were good items, so he kept them.
He looked around a few more times, and seeing that there were no more abnormalities in the cave, he used his spiritual power and turned into a streak of light, heading back the way he came.
Now that this demon had been taken away, there was only one Sky Demon left among the Six Great Ferocious Beasts, apart from the missing ten-thousand-year-old Azure Dragon. It was the son of the Azure Dragon and a female flood dragon. It was a green-scaled flood dragon.
However, because its father was captured and killed by the Great Underworld Ancestor, it stirred up trouble out of anger and was sealed. As a result, it was the weakest of the six. The place it was sealed was in the East Lai Continent.
He had already made up his mind. After he finished reading the West Lai Continent's inscriptions, he would go there.
His return journey was very fast. Five days later, he arrived at the inner world of the West Fall Continent. He stood in the sky and threw out a token. He used his mana to guide it and after a while, he heard the roars of dragons. Two dragons pulled the carriage from the clouds.
A ray of golden light flew out from the carriage and shook for a moment before Zhang Chan appeared. He came up and clasped his hands. He was pleasantly surprised and said, "Master has returned?"
Zhang Yan nodded. It had only been a month since he left, which was much shorter than he had expected. This was a good thing because he would have more time to study the West Lai Continent's inscriptions.
He asked, "Did you notice anything during the time I was gone?"
Zhang Chan quickly replied, "Master, I searched a lot of places but couldn't find any trace of the toad. I only found a cave in the southwest that seems to be left behind by the ancient Daoist Sect. However, I don't know what the cave was made of, but it was very sturdy. I couldn't enter no matter how hard I tried, and I don't know if the demon is hiding inside."
At this point, one of the flood dragons interrupted, "Zhang Chan isn't lying. I also tried. The stone is extremely hard. Even if the old demon isn't inside, there must be some treasure hidden inside."
Zhang Yan knew that there were many caves left behind by ancient sects in the West Continent, so it wasn't strange to find some. This kind of cave could also be the hiding place of the demon swine, so he couldn't ignore it. He said, "You go there and keep an eye on it. I'll go check it out myself tomorrow. If the demon is really hiding there, I'll remember that it's your credit."
Zhang Chan responded loudly and then left excitedly.
The two wyrms looked at each other and came over as well. They said with saliva on their faces, "Perfected One, Zhang Chan's insects really can't walk underwater. We brothers also contributed a lot in finding that underwater abode."
Zhang Yan smiled and threw two bottles of pills to the two flood dragons as a reward for their hard work.
The two flood dragons accepted it with joy. They were willing to stay by Zhang Yan's side. First, they were optimistic about his future. Second, he was the disciple of Danding Courtyard's Zhou Chongju. They could get whatever pills they couldn't get their hands on. By following him, they could always get some benefits.
On the second day, Zhang Yan followed Zhang Chan's directions and rode the flood dragon carriage to the water area.
After traveling for about two hundred li, Zhang Chan pointed at an island below and said, "Master, that Immortal's Cave is about one hundred and fifty zhang underwater. I've placed three white stones outside the door, so it won't be difficult to identify it."
Zhang Yan looked at the surrounding terrain and found that this place was very close to the Gushing Spring Continent. There were several islands with lush greenery around it. Mist and clouds floated in the air. The water was cold and the sky was high. The spiritual essence was also slightly more abundant than elsewhere. No matter how he looked at it, it was a good place to hide. He said, "You wait here. I'll go down and take a look."
After saying that, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and used the Water Escape Technique to dive down.
Today, most of the islands on the water were dangerous mountains that stood at the top of the clouds in the past. This place was no exception. Walking along the mountain ridge, he soon arrived at the place Zhang Chan mentioned. Sure enough, he saw a cave. The cave door was about ten feet tall. On the door, there was a pair of black carps connected head to tail. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
He reached out and knocked on it. He thought to himself, "So it's the Green Cupstone. Looking at it, the entire cave is built with this kind of stone. No wonder Zhang Chan couldn't open it."
In ancient times, many unorthodox cultivators practiced the method of Primordial Spirit Projection. This Green Cupstone was used to store the body. Not to mention that it was extremely sturdy, there might even be a prohibition Talisman carved inside. Without powerful means, it was extremely difficult to open it.
However, this kind of sturdy stone could not prevent people with strong mana from peeping with their Dharma eyes. Naturally, it could not prevent the spirit from entering and exiting.
Zhang Yan used his power with his eyes. He turned into a ray of light and looked inside. In an instant, he could see the scenery inside clearly.
It was a stone room that was about ten feet in size. There were about ten big jars with milky white wine inside. It was actually a cultivator's wine storage place. Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.
He pondered for a moment. He went up and returned to the surface of the water. Then, he called the double dragons and Zhang Chan to him and asked, "Not to mention that this place is secretive, there is no flow of spiritual opportunity. How did you guys find it?"
Zhang Chan said, "That day, one of my insect soldiers noticed that there was a pearl light coming from the water, so I followed it, but I couldn't find the source. I was afraid that it was the evil toad, so I personally came here to search, and only then did I find this cave."
Zhang Yan listened and was deep in thought.
Zhang Chan asked carefully, "Master, did you find any traces?"
Zhang Yan shook his head slightly.
Zhang Chan looked disappointed and said, "So it's not here."
Zhang Yan smiled and said meaningfully, "You guys don't have to be discouraged. Come back here in a few days. Maybe you'll find something."
Zhang Chan widened his eyes and said, "Master, you mean …"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't ask too much. Whether it's true or not, you'll know in a few days."
After that, he sat on the dragon carriage and instructed. The two dragons shook their bodies and pulled the carriage. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the clouds.
