After Zhang Yan left the three people of Illumination Palace behind and returned to the pagoda, the battle in the sea quickly came to an end.
Although Niao Sheng could be considered a natural variant, he was still not a match for the two flood dragons. In the beginning, he relied on his ferocious nature and was able to fight evenly with them, but the more he fought, the weaker he became, and the thought of retreating appeared in his mind.
With a shake of his body, he shook the water and forced the two dragons back a little. Then, he spread his fins and hissed threateningly before lowering his body and retreating into the water.
The reason why the two Flood Dragons had been wandering around and fighting before was to exhaust its vitality and energy. Now that their plan had succeeded, they obviously wouldn't let it go so easily. However, they also knew that a cornered dog would do something desperate, so they didn't plan to immediately kill it.
One of the dragons shouted, "Brother, this big guy is enough for us to eat for a few days. Let him escape for a while and let out some blood along the way. When the time comes, we can make our move. This will save us a lot of energy."
The other dragon waved its tail and disagreed, "What a pity. Just Now, we've already let out a lot of blood. If we let out more, we won't be able to drink a few bowls of blood soup. If I knew this big guy was so useless, I would have taken him down Just Now."
The first dragon scolded, "Useless thing. Zhenren, you let us wait for a month. With our abilities, do you think we won't be able to find food? Hurry up and get me down there, don't let him get away. "
The two dragons made a ruckus and rushed into the sea in pursuit.
About an hour later, a large pool of blood spread out on the surface of the sea. With another loud bang, the two Flood Dragons broke out of the water with the corpse in their claws. Then, they began to tear the corpse apart in mid-air.
This scene shocked the three people of Illumination Palace who were watching from the outside.
Jin Zikang murmured, "Luckily, there have never been dragons like this around my palace. Otherwise, I don't know how to defend myself. "
Taoist Lu chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "These two Taoist Jiao are more than that. Nephew, you have underestimated the Illumination Palace. The Palace Lord and I are limited by our natural endowments, and we are unable to cultivate many of our cultivation methods to a high level. Even so, what we have now is enough to protect the sect."
Jin Zikang suddenly asked, "Uncle, I don't know which one is stronger than the sect behind Zhenren Zhang?"
Lu Daoist frowned. He felt troubled.
After ten thousand years, the Illumination Palace had long since become lifeless. The reason why they were able to continue was because they relied on the strength of the direct bloodline in the sect. The branch bloodlines were unable to surpass them. The sect was located overseas. There were no powerful enemies around.
He had heard from Zhang Yan that the sect behind him was also a major sect in the Donghua Continent. That was someone who could stand out from the other sects and establish a foothold in the world. How could his own family compare?
Just Now, those words were only to boost their morale. However, it was not appropriate for him to lie, so he avoided it and said, "Our sect is an ancient Xuanmen. Our cultivation methods are not weaker than any other sect in the world."
Then, he changed the topic and said, "There is no point in telling you all this now. In the future, when your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will naturally understand."
After waiting on the sea for a month, the two Jiao Jiao finally recovered their vitality, and the group continued their journey.
After flying east for a few days, Zhang Yan figured that they were not far from the border of the continent. He ordered the Jiao Jiao carriage to descend from the High Cloud and travel on the sea.
That day, at noon, he ordered the carriage to stop. He used his mana and silently sensed the surroundings.
Although the spiritual opportunity on the sea was scattered, there were still traces to follow. Moreover, each had its own path, and there was no single place that was the same.
The place beneath his feet was already very close to what that senior had said, but the details seemed to be right, but they weren't.
He pinched his fingers and calculated, then looked around and said, "Although the spiritual opportunity is not the same as what was written in the records, but this location should be the same. Those slight differences should be due to the movement of the spiritual opportunity over the past thousands of years."
After thinking about it, this was just his own guess, and the real situation might not be like this. To be safe, he had to check the surroundings more.
Thinking about this, he ordered the Jiao Jiao carriage to move again.
This time, it took another three to four days, and he did find a few suspicious locations.
The Donglai Continent revealed a corner of the door, and the time it stopped was not fixed. It could be a few hours, or a few days, the length was uncertain, and there was no way to figure out the pattern. As for whether there were other situations, no one could completely understand it.
He was not willing to pin the opportunity to enter the continent on luck. Otherwise, if he missed it, he could only go to the next location.
It was just that these few places were quite far apart. With his speed, it was not easy to travel all the way in a few hours.
Fortunately, he had his own solution. He brought Zhang Chan closer and asked, "Have you memorized all the places we passed through in front of us?"
Zhang Chan said, "I have memorized them."
Zhang Yan said, "Split out a few groups of insect soldiers and wait in those places. If there is any movement, quickly come and inform me."
Zhang Chan said, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely keep it in mind, and I won't make any mistakes."
Zhang Yan waved his hand and ordered him to make the arrangements. In this way, there would be insect soldiers watching at all times. Even if his previous guess was wrong, he would be able to rush over in time.
After thinking about it carefully and making sure that there was nothing left out, he put the matter aside.
Another five or six days passed, and everything was set up properly. Zhang Yan felt that there was nothing left out, so he found the three people from the Illumination Palace and said, "In less than half a month, the Donglai Continent will appear above this sea region. However, once it gets close to the array outside the mountain, it will enter the heart barrier. I am indebted to Daoist Jin, but I don't want to see you make any mistakes that might endanger your lives. I will do my best to protect you, but there are many barriers that cannot be broken with mana. When the time comes, you will have to be more careful."
Daoist Lu thought about it for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "The three of us are already grateful that you brought us here. We don't dare to ask for more."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "The three of you don't have to think too much for the next few days. Cleanse your Qi and clear your mind, calm the void, and clear your mind so that you won't be taken advantage of by external forces."
Daoist Lu knew that he was right. After thanking him and seeing that there was nothing else, he did not stay any longer and led the three away.
Outside, he said to his two nephews, "The heart barrier cannot be overestimated, nor can it be underestimated. Now that we know the way to enter the continent, there is no need to rush. The two of you are still young, so you won't have a chance this time. Next time, you can try your luck again. Do not be presumptuous and force your way through. "
His tone suddenly became stern, a complete change from his previous lazy and unruly attitude. Jin Zikang and Jin Zixiang both agreed.
More than ten days passed as the crowd waited.
On the thirteenth day. Zhang Yan suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He waved his sleeves and walked out of the pavilion.
The wind and waves that never stopped around him had unknowingly stopped. A bright moon rose. Not far away. There was a celestial mountain floating on the sea. The Mirror Sea was far away. Wrapped in snow and mist, the mountain was tall and beautiful, like a goddess descending to the mortal world.
The three people from the Illumination Palace did as they were told. When he hurried up to the pavilion, he was instantly attracted by the miraculous scene on the sea.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, Jin Zikang said excitedly, "Is that the Donglai Continent?"
Daoist Lu took a few glances and shook his head. "No, no."
Jin Zikang was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yan smiled and turned around. He pointed behind the three of them and said, "All of you, look over there."
The three of them turned around and were stunned. They found that there was also an illusion of a mountain, but it was hidden in the thick fog and not a trace of moonlight could reach it.
Daoist Lu looked at it attentively and finally seemed relieved. He said, "It should be here."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Before passing the mental barrier, there are still two barriers to pass. This is the first barrier, the 'Void Boundary Barrier'. If the person who comes is deceived by this illusory image and follows it, then they will be going in the wrong direction and will miss the opportunity to enter the continent."
This barrier was not difficult to pass. There was no sign of life in the illusion. On the contrary, if one went to the real place and observed carefully, they would find Spiritual Qi fluctuating. When a cultivator came here, as long as he was calm and not distracted by the beautiful scenery, he would be able to distinguish the real from the fake.
In fact, in the ancient book, this barrier was only mentioned in one sentence. It was obvious that the person who wrote it did not take it seriously.
In his opinion, when a cultivator cultivated to the point where he could come to the Donglai Continent, there was no need to say much about this. On the contrary, if he went over, he might as well turn back as soon as possible to avoid losing his life.
Jin Zikang said with a sudden realization, "So this is the real place?"
He widened his eyes and looked for a while, but he was disappointed. "This is not as good as the illusion."
Daoist Lu snorted and said, "The illusion of the mortal world can confuse one's mind. If you insist on it, then you are not a cultivator."
Zhang Yan smiled and waved his sleeve lightly. The two dragons knew what was going on and turned the carriage around, heading in the opposite direction.
After traveling for a long time, the fog in front of them gradually dissipated. Finally, they could see the shape of the mountains clearly. The three people from Xuan Zhao Palace were stunned. There were three mountains in front of them, and no matter how they looked at them, they looked exactly the same.
Zhang Yan said with his hands behind his back, "This barrier is called the Righteous Path Barrier. The entrance to the continent is in one of the mountains. The rest of the people are on the wrong path. If they go the wrong way, they will not be able to enter the continent."
Daoist Lu thought for a while and said slowly, "Where my heart is, it is the righteous path."
Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Daoist, you are right." The dragon carriage did not change its path and went straight to one of the mountains in front of them.
The two Jin brothers did not understand. Jin Zikang looked left and right and whispered, "Uncle, what is the coincidence of this barrier?"
Daoist Lu said in a deep voice, "I can't explain it to you now. You only need to know that the place we are going to is the main gate."
Zhang Yan smiled. These three doors could be fake, but they could also be real. However, those who passed through had to be absolutely convinced that what they were doing was right. Only then could they pass through. If there was even the slightest bit of doubt, they would be blocked outside.
They naturally had a firm Taoist Heart, but the two Jin brothers might not be so. That was why Daoist Lu did not say anything.
Not long after, the carriage arrived in front of the mountain. At this moment, Zhang Yan spoke up to remind everyone, "The first two trials are easy. The third trial is the most difficult trial, the 'Knocking the Heart Trial'. Everyone is different, so everyone needs to be careful."
The three of them were unconsciously worried. However, after a long time had passed, the two Jin brothers still did not feel anything. They were at a loss and did not know what to do. Only Taoist Lu was slightly better, but he only frowned, as if he was caught in a difficult problem.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed slightly. This method of invading people's hearts was silent. If one's cultivation was not high, he would not be able to sense the prohibition. But for people like him, it was as if something was imprinted into his heart from the void. He immediately knew the reason for this prohibition.
The prohibition he needed was called the 'Beheading Prohibition'. It was simple. If he wanted to reach the Donglai Continent, he had to do one thing, which was to behead everyone around him. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass!
