Zhang Yan's real body woke up, and everything that happened to this body after entering the continent was clear to him.
With a thought, the Demon Subduing Slip suddenly shook, and the majestic essence energy formed from the bodies of the Sky Demons poured into his body with the force of a dam bursting.
First Rank of Spirit Contract, Second Rank, Third Rank …
His magic power rose, and in a few breaths, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Fourth Rank!
At this point, the Devil Slip seemed to want to push this cultivation method down, but it was blocked by his Origin Consciousness, and was forcefully suppressed.
His real body had not entered the grotto-heaven, and it was not the time to go up.
But the moment he gathered his magic power, he released energy into the sky, and his breathing shook the ground. Be it demons or mortals, everyone felt their legs become unsteady, and they all fell down.
In an instant, he was the only one left standing.
He looked around, and with a grab, he caught a bird demon in his hand.
There was no spiritual opportunity in Donglai continent, and mortals could not cultivate. But this person could turn into a demon, wasn't that strange?
He gathered his energy in his eyes, and focused. In an instant, he saw through everything from the outside to the inside.
The reason why this demon could reach this stage was because there was a thread of extremely weak and weird energy in its body.
This energy could activate vital energy and True Essence, and use spiritual opportunity to drive it. It could suppress mortals here.
But to this demon, this was not a blessing, but a curse.
Because of the pressure and blood being squeezed out, after a year and a half, this demon would definitely die. At that time, all of its energy would be taken, and it would return to the person with that energy.
First, he would use the demon to kill and swallow the energy. Then, he would take it for his own use. Such a method reminded him of the Chuo Dragon that was imprisoned here.
This demon was not like the other demons that were suppressed. It did not have the ability to stir up trouble, and its fighting abilities were not strong. However, there was a heaven-bestowed supernatural power. Even if one's body was reduced to ashes, as long as there was still a strand of essence left in the world, one could create demons and create chaos. After absorbing enough essence, one could gradually recover.
Zhang Yan thought about it carefully. The chaos in Donglai continent happened hundreds of years ago. Most of the demons in the three western continents had escaped in the past one or two hundred years. The timing matched.
He sneered and casually threw the bird demon to the ground. He looked at the demons below the slope. He took a deep breath. A trace of scarlet purple flashed between his brows. Then, he exhaled and let out a clear shout!
Boom!
The sound of this shout. Like a clap of thunder in a clear sky, brilliant and impressive, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, like a raging inferno, rushing down the slope.
Countless fiend demons below looked as though they had been crushed by rolling stones. Blood spewed from all seven orifices and their tendons and bones were shattered. The bird demons in midair had their wings snapped and fell like rain!
When the sound of the wind dissipated, all the demons in the sky and on the ground had died under his shout.
For a moment, the world was silent.
Zhang Yan raised his head and looked at the sky.
Although Donglai continent did not touch the roots of the earth, it had mountains, rivers, and earth veins. Moreover, it was in the real world and the small world, so there should be spiritual opportunity. Yet, he could not feel it at all. There had to be a reason for this.
He relaxed his mind and followed the direction of the spiritual opportunity. After a long time, he finally felt the abnormality.
It was not that the spiritual opportunity did not exist, but that it was being robbed.
The source of all of it was actually on the Outer Continent Restriction Array.
This array had been in operation for tens of thousands of years and covered the land of the continent. It needed spiritual attachment to exist, and as such, it needed to fight for spiritual opportunity with the people in the continent.
Coincidentally, this array followed the path of emotionlessness. It only took and did not care about anything other than itself.
Even if the spiritual opportunity in the continent was cut off and the living beings were in trouble, it had nothing to do with it.
Zhang Yan knew that there were Daoists in Donglai continent. They probably left because they could not compete with the array.
He turned around and looked around. He did not expect that these tens of thousands of people were the only people left in this continent.
Although there were demons in this continent, humans were spiritual beings. There were people who took the blood of the demons and used it for themselves. If it could be passed down, there would be a chance for them to survive this disaster.
However, this method was only used by a small number of people and did not benefit the people. Hence, when it came to the end, it was still difficult to solve the problem.
Thinking about this, he could not help but sigh, "This disaster is not something you can overcome. However, if everyone in the world has a way to protect themselves, how can we allow the demons to wreak havoc?"
At this moment, someone suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Priest, please teach us!"
The few people behind him also came to their senses and knelt down, saying, "Priest, please teach us!"
As if they were infected, the tens of thousands of people on the slope knelt down like the wind blowing the wheat, shouting for the method. At first, it was chaotic, but not long after, it was loud enough to shake the sky.
Zhang Yan heard the unwillingness, anger, struggle, pain, and other emotions in the voice and was slightly moved.
He looked towards the horizon and thought back to what he had experienced in the three continents. There were some similarities and differences, but everyone in this world suffered from weak spiritual opportunities.
The West Sink Continent could be said to have weak spiritual opportunities.
The West Sink Continent could be said to have weak spiritual opportunities.
The West Jue Continent could be said to have broken spiritual opportunities.
As for Donglai continent, it could be said to have exhausted spiritual opportunities.
If he created a method that did not focus on spiritual opportunities and did not need the help of others, he could just adjust his breathing and refine his own energy to enter Dao. What would happen then?
As this thought rose, his heart shook.
"When I entered Dao, I saw that the path of cultivation was controlled by Xuanmen and aristocratic families. I once said that if I were successful in my cultivation, I would think of a way to change this situation. Since I entered Dao, my heart has not changed, and my determination still exists. When I create a method, I will open another door for those who wish to enter Dao, and pass it on to the future. "
"Therefore, my Dao is not my Dao alone. It is the Dao of tens of thousands of people, the Dao of millions of people, the Dao of all sentient beings in the world!"
As he thought about this, he faced the many pairs of expectant eyes and opened his mouth.
"If the Heavens don't want you to wait, I will!"
"If the Heavens don't want you to wait, I will!"
"If the Heavens don't want you to wait, I will!"
As he spoke, his voice pierced through the clouds and shook Heaven and Earth!
Rumble. He raised his head and looked up. Thunder clouds gathered in the sky, and after a short while, rain started to fall.
At this moment, he was enlightened and touched the secrets of the heavens. In that instant, he understood what Dao he was pursuing.
A mysterious feeling came out of nowhere. It was reflected in his mind.
At this moment, he felt like there were countless waves pushing against his back, urging him to move faster. It was as if as long as he took this step, he would be able to enter the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
However, at this critical moment, he ignored the external disturbances and did not move.
Even if this path was opened, he had the heart but no action, the flower bloomed but no fruit, and it was not perfect. At this moment, he took a step forward. He would collapse halfway, and in the future, it would be hard for him to step onto the path.
He needed to finish it well, to deduce this technique, only then would his heart be able to respond to the Dao. To achieve the True Dao.
Before this. There was still one more thing he had to do.
He looked down the slope. He saw that among the corpses of the monsters, there was an energy whirlpool floating up and charging into the sky. It flew down and left behind a sentence, "The monsters and demons are not all gone, I need to kill them. Wait for me to return."
After saying this, he rose up, turning into a streak of light and followed the energy.
After flying for a day and a night, he saw that the threads of energy came from all directions, gradually gathering into one and drilling into a dry well underground.
He looked at it for a moment, then lowered his body and went down as well.
After a few thousand feet, he reached the pit. In front of him was a ten feet tall dark hole that led deeper.
He followed along the path and saw that the cave walls were smooth and had no edges. It twisted and turned like a snake's cave, but it wasn't tight at all. After a few miles, he stepped into a huge stone cave.
There was a thousand-foot long reflective wall that was as bright as a mirror. Within it, there was a hornless dragon swimming about.
It was just three feet long, its body was white and warm like it was carved out of jade. At this moment, it was swallowing the energy that floated in. As it swallowed and spat out, one could see a drop of blood rolling around its body. Each time it did one round, its body would swell up a little.
It seemed to have sensed Zhang Yan's arrival and stopped. It stared over with its red jade-like eyes and asked, "Who is here?"
Zhang Yan said loudly, "Qincang Zhang Yan, I am here on orders from Taiming Ancestor to take you in."
Chuo Long came to a sudden realization and said, "I was wondering why my energy was so lacking. So it was you who spoiled my plans!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed. "What a pity, what a pity. If you came a year later, this body of mine would have been able to soar out of here. At that time, your entire sect can forget about finding me."
Zhang Yan said indifferently, "Even if you leave this continent, if you continue to torture the living beings, then even if I don't take you in, others will come to subdue you."
Chuo Long laughed and said, "Eliminate the weak and preserve the strong, this is the Heavenly Dao. All living beings in the world should be food in our mouths, yet all of you are meddlesome. Don't you think it's a sin?"
Zhang Yan sneered. "According to what you said, I'm strong while you're weak, so I'm acting according to the Heavenly Dao by annihilating you? In that case, you should just accept your death obediently. "
Chuo Long could not help but choke. He snorted and said, "There's a saying in the world, 'the winner takes all'. Even if you win today, I won't argue with you. However, this is not the end of the game. We'll meet again in the future."
As he spoke to this point, his originally vigorous aura actually weakened bit by bit.
In Zhang Yan's eyes, he could see that the Spiritual Vigor around him was leaving his body quickly. That part of his body had become dim and dull, like a beautiful jade that was slowly turning into a piece of stubborn stone.
He knew that the demon knew that it could not defeat him, so it dispersed its own energy.
However, it was not nonsense when it said that they would meet again in the future.
Just Now, when he came in, he had already seen that the demon's vitality and energy were not here, so he could not take its life today. This entanglement would probably drag on for hundreds or even thousands of years.
He thought about it. If Tai Ming Patriarch had the intention back then, it would not have been difficult for him to find Chuo Long's vitality and not kill it, as he purposely left it for the younger generation to deal with. After all, suppressing and annihilating the five demons was also a way to achieve the middle technique. If it was obtained too easily, it would be difficult to prove this technique.
However, he could not do this, and it was impossible for him to look at this place all the time. The best way was to do what he had thought previously, to pass down a technique to inspire the people to rise up and then kill this demon.
At this moment, he saw that there was still a strand of blood remaining in the body. He had an idea and reached out to grab it.
This blood was condensed by Chuo Long, and it could be considered as the blood of a Sky Demon. However, at this moment, it had already lost its spiritual essence, so it naturally did not have any magical effects.
However, he thought about how the Cang Dragon's remains were now missing. If it was obtained by a great demon, it would be a disaster. Chuo Long was the son of the Cang Dragon. If he obtained this drop of blood, he might be able to find its whereabouts.
He took out a jade bottle and kept the blood in it. He shook his sleeves, and in an instant, wind blew under his feet, and he flew into the sky.
