Above the Donglai Outer Sea, a cloud of chaotic mist floated in the air. Inside, there was the sound of thunder and lightning. It looked like it had returned to the time when all living things were born.
As the boundless spiritual vigor surged in from all directions, its momentum became wider and wider. It spread out and gradually covered a radius of thousands of miles.
At this moment, Zhang Yan's spirit was immersed in the One Profound Realm. He had no idea where he was. He seemed to be awake but not awake, like he was asleep but not asleep. However, every time he thought about it, a bolt of lightning would leap across the mist. Between the spiritual opportunity, there would be airflow rolling.
After an entire 365 days and a sufficient number of circulations, this ball of chaotic profound energy slowly retracted and returned to his body.
Zhang Yan suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, there seemed to be a flash of purple lightning. Heaven and earth seemed to have suddenly flashed.
He stood in the air with his sleeves behind his back. He looked at the surging waves in front of him and the vast heaven and earth. He felt the surging mana in his body that seemed to be able to stir up the universe. He couldn't help but think to himself, "There was a saying in the records that when one becomes a Grotto-heaven, one can create lightning with a thought and move the wind and clouds with a breath. It seems like it wasn't an exaggeration."
In his heart, he was filled with emotions. No wonder it was so difficult for people in the world to become a Grotto-heaven.
Not to mention the difficulty of climbing Dao, even when one became a Dharma, the spiritual opportunity didn't come out of nowhere. He had to ask for it from outside his body.
This was an advantage for the big sects. For example, Qi Yuntian, Qing Chenzi, and the other direct disciples could get it from the Spiritual Cave.
However, because of this, the normal disciples could only go to the Grotto-heaven to get the Qi. Even if they succeeded, they would be weaker.
As for people like him, if he didn't have enough, he could borrow it from the heaven and earth.
Now that he thought about it, Shen Baishuang from the sect, Zhenren Shen, must have borrowed the Spiritual Cave. If not, it would be hard for him to achieve what he did later on.
As he stepped into this realm, he naturally gained all sorts of enlightenment. Many things that he didn't understand in the past suddenly became clear.
He didn't enter the Grotto-heaven. However, he didn't know how strong the Grotto-heaven Zhenren was.
All of them had the ability to shatter the sky and split the earth. Even if it was divine powers and magic powers, they would still be able to cover a radius of at least a thousand miles. This was not something that Yuanying cultivators could compare with.
It could be said that no matter how many daoist cultivators there were in the Grotto-Heaven, they could be killed with a flip of their palms. They were like ants.
That was why he never acted rashly. Firstly, he cared about his own safety. He didn't want to lose the dao fruit that he had painstakingly cultivated. Moreover, this world couldn't bear it, and it would ruin the place of cultivation for no reason.
More than ten thousand years ago, the battle between Sky Demons and Human Cultivators was mostly outside the Third Heaven. But even so, it still caused the pillars in the center to crack and the strong clouds to cover the sky.
When one reached this realm, many magical treasures would be useless.
Now, once he used his Dharma, it would not be difficult for him to travel thousands of miles. Even if he could scatter it a little, what use would that be?
If he didn't draw support from his own Fa Li, perhaps only a killing True Weapon like the Sun Embracing Axe would be able to injure the enemy.
Just as he was thinking about this. But he suddenly heard a clear cry. It was that Clear Swan Sword Pellet flying out.
Looking up, it was completely clear and pure like glass. It seemed like a layer of dust had been removed, and one could see its true nature.
This sword was connected to his mind. When he absorbed the energy of heaven and earth and evolved his Dharma, it absorbed the spiritual opportunity that surged over together. Who knew how many benefits it had obtained. That bit of true consciousness. He had already become incomparably lively and agile.
Unfortunately, it was just like that. It seemed like it was still lacking a little to transform into a true spirit.
Zhang Yan knew that it wasn't the right time. This Clear Swan Sword Pellet was the best of the Shaoqing Sword Flow. If it became real from Xuan, it would definitely be a killing True Weapon. That wasn't something that could be easily obtained.
After entering the Grotto-Heaven, his lifespan would be three thousand. At most, he would nourish it and refine it.
Thinking about that, he had a thought and called it over. Then, he placed his hand on it and smiled, "In the future, I will definitely repay you."
The Clear Swan Sword gave out a clear cry and turned into a bright light, flying into his brow.
He turned his body and looked back at Donglai. At this moment, there was something that needed to be solved, which was that unknown Hui Dragon.
If this demon wasn't eliminated, then the world wouldn't be at peace.
Especially now that the restriction formation had been broken and there were no more restrictions on Donglai Continent, it might have the ability to escape. If it went to the continent, not mentioning how it would harm the people, if it colluded with the North Sea Demon, then it would definitely bring disaster to the world.
When he was Yuanying, he couldn't find any traces of it. That was because his cultivation wasn't there yet. Now that he was in the Grotto-Heaven, naturally he had the means to find it.
He sat on the cloud and used his Spiritual Intent to sense. In an instant, he scanned through the mountains and rivers of Donglai.
Most of the demons were chased away by Yue Chao. The remaining ones were scattered in the deep mountains and forests, they weren't a threat. However, he noticed that there was a large portion that was hiding in the ocean currents in the west of the continent. Most of them were Water Race Demons.
His eyes squinted. The Hui Dragon's Essence Energy could only be used by borrowing the power of demons. That place was most likely where it was hiding.
Immediately, his technique moved according to his mind. In an instant, he went from the sky to the ground. With the momentum of a thousand miles in a breath, he escaped to that place.
In the easternmost part of Donglai, there were more than a hundred towering cliffs on the sea. This used to be the location of a Daoist cultivation sect. However, after the spiritual vigor dissipated, it was scattered in all directions, leaving only thousands of empty caves.
At this moment, in one of the caves, a white-robed scholar with sunken eyes was meditating. In his hand, he held a dragon-shaped jade pendant tightly.
Ever since this person killed his Senior Apprentice-Brother two hundred years ago and entered the continent, he searched everywhere for the ancestral master's treasure. However, the continent's spiritual opportunity was cut off. Although he could still fly, every time he used it, he would lose some mana. Hence, he didn't dare to use it casually. Hence, after so many years, he still couldn't find it.
Until a year ago, there was an unknown change in the continent. The restriction formation collapsed and the stars appeared. Spiritual opportunity came like a tide.
Although he didn't know why, he benefited a lot from the situation. Recently, he felt that the spiritual opportunity was getting lesser and it was going to return to how it was before. Hence, he thought of leaving.
However, at this moment, he sensed the ancestral master's treasure. Overjoyed, he ran for it without hesitation.
However, when he found the treasure, he was surprised to find that there was a strange Qi of Essence in it. He couldn't use it, so he had no choice but to use his technique in an attempt to refine it away.
However, after a few months of effort, his mana and Qi of Essence were depleted, but he still couldn't succeed.
Although the Qi of Essence in the jade pendant was stolen to reside in the treasure, there was no movement in the past. However, today, it was trembling for some reason.
The white-robed scholar was shocked and prepared to suppress it. However, at this moment, a white shadow leaped out from the jade pendant. It was like an exquisite jade dragon, only an inch long. It stared at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't waste your energy. With your ability, you won't be able to refine me within a hundred years. However, if you can promise me one thing, I can leave on my own."
The white-robed scholar was bewildered and said, "What is it? Say it first."
The jade dragon said, "It's nothing much. Just leave this place as soon as possible."
The white-robed scholar was stunned. He then laughed out loud and mocked, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? The spiritual opportunity here is weak, so I can still subdue you. However, if you go to the sea where the spiritual opportunity is flourishing, won't you be like a dragon in the sea, unrestrained?"
The jade dragon scoffed and sneered, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I have a pair of heads here. I'm afraid that the strange phenomenon that happened a few days ago is related to him. This person has a powerful background. If you don't leave now, I'll be in trouble, but you won't be able to escape as well."
The white-robed scholar sneered, "Don't try to lie to me. Who has the ability to create such a strange phenomenon? If I really have such mana, where can I run to? "
Just as he said that, the sky suddenly turned dark. The sun and moon moved, and the stars dimmed. It was as if everything had disappeared and turned into chaos.
Then, he was in a trance. It felt like a moment had passed, but it also felt like thousands of years had passed. When he woke up, he realized that he was in the sky and there was a handsome young Daoist standing in front of him.
The person stood there like a mountain, and his Qi was like the ocean. It was as if he was one with heaven and earth. One look at him would make one's mind tremble and his breath become unstable.
The white-robed scholar was shocked. This breath was similar to the people in the rumors. As he thought about it, his body trembled and he did not dare to think further.
Zhang Yan did not look at him. He turned to look at the jade dragon and said, "It's been two hundred years, and we meet again."
The jade dragon was a Heavenly Demon, the son of the Azure Dragon. It was knowledgeable. When it saw Zhang Yan, it knew that he had achieved the position of a grotto-heaven. It immediately gave in and said, "Zhang Shangzhen, can you let me go? I'm willing to give up this body and only leave a strand of my soul to reincarnate in the human world. "
Zhang Yan said, "I know about your ability. You are born with a special species. Even if your soul reincarnates, as long as the essence you planted is not extinguished, you can find it in the future. You might be able to reincarnate again. How can I let you go? I must exterminate all of you so that the world can be stable. "
Chuo Long's voice turned cold. "Since you know that I have this method, even if you destroy my essence, it will only destroy two hundred years of hard work. As long as there are still living beings in this world, you can't kill me!"
Zhang Yan smiled and said with deep meaning, "Since you killed someone today, someone will come to kill you tomorrow. There is no need for I to interfere."
As he finished, he gently waved his sleeve.
Chuo Long was not willing to die without a fight. He shouted and activated the essence he had accumulated for more than two hundred years. It turned into a white light in the shape of a dragon. It soared hundreds of feet into the sky and flew straight into the sky.
However, when it was halfway there, there was a thunderous sound in the sky. Then, a purple light flashed across the sky and hit its body. In an instant, it exploded and turned into nothingness.
The white-robed scholar was terrified as he watched. He groaned inwardly. Why did he have to get involved in the battle of such people? He said while trembling, "Shangzhen, I will take my leave."
Zhang Yan looked at him and said with a smile, "Wait. That Chuo Long is a special species in the world. You don't even know that your essence has invaded your body. If you don't resolve it, you will be taken away in less than a hundred years."
When the white-robed scholar heard the conversation between the two, he knew that this demon had an extraordinary background. Now that he heard these words again, he was terrified. He quickly prostrated on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Please save me, Spiritual Master!"
