As night fell, a bright moon appeared in the sky, sprinkling down cold moonlight that shrouded the icy and snowy Northern Land in a layer of light gauze. (Network)
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared in the sky above an endless snowy forest in the Northern Land as if it had teleported. This person wore a purple jade crown on his head and a Golden Crow Sky-burning Robe of the Nine Suns Brilliant Sky. There seemed to be flames flowing all over his body.
He was Taoist Chaoyang of the Shaoyang Peak of the Taixuan Sect.
Swoosh! A golden rainbow suddenly appeared in the distant sky, like a golden bolt of lightning, cutting through the void and flying quickly toward Taoist Chaoyang.
"Gu Fei is nearby?" Taoist Chaoyang's eyes seemed to have no spirit, but it was as if he had a magical power that could penetrate the void, as if he could see anything he wanted to see.
He glanced around but did not feel anything strange. What he saw in front of him was just a common snowy forest in the Northern Land.
At this time, the golden light that appeared in the distant sky had already flown in front of him, and a powerful wave of spiritual power immediately spread out. The golden light dissipated, and a figure appeared next to Taoist Chaoyang.
"Is it here?" Taoist Chaoyang asked.
The person who came in the golden rainbow was Dan Chengzi. When he heard the question, he immediately replied, "Yes, but even with the Spirit Lamp in hand, I can't find Gu Fei."
Before the Spirit Lamp was extinguished, Dan Chengzi had tracked Gu Fei more than once, but it was difficult to find any trace of Gu Fei.
Although they were both cultivators in the Royal Void Realm, Taoist Chaoyang's strength and seniority were not comparable to Dan Chengzi, who had just broken through to the Royal Void Realm.
Even among cultivators in the same realm, there were strong and weak ones. With Taoist Chaoyang's cultivation, it could be said that it was easy to kill a peerless cultivator like Dan Chengzi.
"Strange!" Taoist Chaoyang stood in the void, and there was a trace of doubt on his face. He could not feel any human aura nearby, which meant that Gu Fei had not appeared nearby.
Daoist Chao Yang's Divine Will was extremely powerful. Once it was spread out, he could see everything within a radius of tens of miles like the back of his hand. It was even clearer than using his eyes to see.
As long as someone was hiding nearby, they would definitely not be able to escape the detection of his Spiritual Force.
The surroundings were very quiet. Only the occasional roars of beasts could be heard from the depths of the snowy forest. Other than the birds and beasts that resided in the forest, there were no other signs of life.
Daoist Zhaoyang was very proud of his own cultivation. Apart from demigods, there were only a few people in the world who could beat him.
If there was something strange about this place, it would not escape Taoist Zhaoyang's eyes. If someone had really hidden Gu Fei with great magical power, and even Taoist Zhaoyang had been deceived, then this person was definitely not someone he could provoke.
"Yes! Looks like it's time to meet some old friends in Beiling City! "Daoist Chao Yang said calmly," Let's go back! "After saying that, Daoist Chao Yang's figure disappeared in the air.
Daoist Chao Yang's speed was too fast. Even Minister Dan, who was standing next to him, could not tell how he left.
Minister Dan could not help but be shocked. Daoist Chao Yang's cultivation was much stronger than his. Daoist Chao Yang's speed seemed to be comparable to teleportation.
Of course, the legendary magical power of teleportation could only be performed by a peerless demigod.
Minister Dan did not dare to delay. He rose into the air and turned into a dazzling golden rainbow. He flew in the direction of Beiling City and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Daoist Chao Yang's arrival did not go unnoticed by the old monsters in Beiling City. The situation in Beiling City became even more delicate. There were many undercurrents, and a storm was brewing.
Compared to Beiling City, the Pill Cauldron's Grotto was quiet. There was no ice or snow here, and the temperature was warm. Several mountain peaks were filled with green.
There was a small bridge that spanned over the flowing water, and flowers bloomed beside the stream. Cranes flew across the sky from time to time. A herd of spiritual deer chased each other on the grassland between the mountains. All sorts of spiritual herbs were planted on the cultivated slopes.
The Pill Cauldron's Grotto was definitely a blessed land for immortals.
It was hard to imagine that there would be such a Grotto in the snowy northern lands. This place was isolated from the rest of the world and was filled with spiritual energy. It was no wonder that even the old monsters who had not come out for a long time were alarmed.
Unfortunately, this spiritual land already had an owner. The ancestors of the Pill Cauldron Gate had spent a lot of effort to set up a peerless formation to isolate this spiritual land from the rest of the world, forming a Grotto.
This Grotto was independent from the world, but it was also closely connected to the world. The spiritual veins of the earth were the foundation of this small world.
It was hard to imagine that with this Grotto as the foundation, the Pill Cauldron's Grotto still declined.
Unless the peerless formation outside the Pill Cauldron's Grotto was broken, the Pill Cauldron's Grotto would never be revealed to the world. Even a powerhouse like Daoist Chao Yang could not sense the existence of the Grotto.
In order to help Gu Fei get rid of the Xuanyin Ghost Qi that was entangled in his bone marrow, Yan 'er had been busy with something for the past few days. She seemed to be making something.
Gu Fei asked a few times, but Yan 'er pretended to be mysterious and ran away. (Network)
Gu Fei had no choice but to find a place to circulate his mystic art and breathe in and out spiritual energy. He wanted to use the endless spiritual energy to temper his muscles and bones, using this method to get rid of the Xuanyin Ghost Qi deep in his bone marrow bit by bit.
But soon, Gu Fei felt that his method did not seem to work at all. The uncomfortable feeling of coldness coming out from his bone marrow still happened a few times a day.
Every time he did it, his body would feel cold and his blood and Qi seemed to be condensing. This was like a bone-deep gangrene. With his ability, there was no way he could get rid of the Xuanyin Ghost Qi deep in his bone marrow.
One morning three days later, Yan 'er found Gu Fei at the peak of a spiritual mountain.
"Follow me!" Yan 'er roused Gu Fei from his deep meditation. This was the first sentence she said to Gu Fei. She seemed to be a little excited.
"Where to?" Gu Fei asked.
"Just follow me. Of course, if you don't want to get better, you can continue to meditate here!" Yan 'er revealed a sly smile and walked straight down the mountain.
"Wait for me!" Gu Fei hurriedly chased after her. Although he had vaguely guessed why Yan 'er came to find him, he still could not keep calm.
One had to know that the Xuanyin Ghost Qi deep in his bone marrow would come out several times a day. That kind of feeling was not pleasant.
Yan 'er brought Gu Fei to an ancient altar in the Pill Cauldron Grotto and walked up. Gu Fei felt that this altar seemed to be made of purple jade. Every purple jade brick was engraved with ancient runes.
The altar was 15 feet wide and emitted a misty purple glow. After walking up the altar, Gu Fei discovered that the ground of the altar was also engraved with countless runes. The countless runes seemed to form a huge formation.
Gu Fei did not set foot in the formation. He could not figure out the function of the formation on the altar. Apart from the runes engraved on the purple jade ground, there was nothing else on the altar.
Gu Fei was a little surprised. Why did Yan 'er bring him here? He was about to ask, but at that moment, Yan 'er signaled Gu Fei to stand in the center of the altar.
Yan 'er came to Gu Fei's side and took out a jade talisman from her storage bag. She handed it to Gu Fei and said, "Take it. It will be useful when we return."
Gu Fei took the jade talisman and saw that both sides of the jade talisman were also engraved with runes. Moreover, Gu Fei felt that the runes on the jade talisman in his hand and the runes on the altar seemed to come from the same source.
Yan 'er's hands formed hand seals. Then, the ancient purple jade altar immediately emitted a strong energy fluctuation. The runes engraved on the entire altar gradually lit up.
The ancient altar obviously contained an incomparably strong energy. Yan 'er's hands continuously formed hand seals to guide this originally dormant power out.
"Rumble …" The entire altar began to shake. Then, thousands of runes rushed out from the altar as if they had come to life. They formed a mysterious formation that enveloped Gu Fei and Yan 'er who stood in the center of the altar.
"This …" Gu Fei was shocked. This altar seemed to be … a teleportation formation.
"Swoosh!" There was a tremor in the void as ripples spread out from the center of the altar. Thousands of light talismans formed an array. The instant Yan 'er and Gu Fei were enveloped, the two of them disappeared from the altar.
Thousands of light runes dissipated on the altar. The runes engraved on the altar also gradually dimmed. The energy contained in the altar also quieted down.
The space was twisting. Gu Fei felt as if he had stepped into a void tunnel. A strange feeling welled up in his heart. This feeling was not unfamiliar to him.
There was no sky, no earth. It was as if he was walking in an endless void. He had no idea where he was going. Rays of light became the only thing in Gu Fei's eyes.
After an unknown period of time, Gu Fei felt as if he was riding on the clouds, as if he was traveling at an extremely high speed. When the surrounding rays of light gradually disappeared, a gloomy void appeared in front of Gu Fei.
He did not know when it started, but the surrounding space began to twist and ripples of energy spread out.
"Rumble!"
After a loud noise, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the front. Gu Fei had to close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the dark sky flashed with strong lights from time to time.
"Boom!" A thunderclap sounded in Gu Fei's ears. Silver snakes danced in the sky and lightning lit up the heaven and earth. Gu Fei could not help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.
He looked around and saw that he and Yan 'er were standing on a small hill. Under their feet was a formation engraved on a rock with a circumference of five zhang.
The runes on the formation were very similar to the runes on the purple jade altar in the Pill Cauldron Wonderland.
"What is this place?" Gu Fei asked. He felt that the heaven and earth were gloomy. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, illuminating the gloomy void from time to time.
Apart from the small hill where he and Yan 'er were standing, there were lush weeds everywhere. Between the weeds, there were water droplets. This place seemed to be a swamp.
"This is the Lightning Lake!" Yan 'er said.
"Rumble!"
At this time, another earth-shattering thunder came from the sky. Although the sky was gloomy, it was strange that there was only thunder but no rain.
"Lightning Lake?" Gu Fei couldn't help being startled. He knew of this place. It was a dangerous place, a place where the lightning energy of heaven and earth gathered.
The Lightning Lake could be said to be one of the most dangerous places in the Teng Long Continent. Gu Fei had seen descriptions of the Lightning Lake in his sect's records.
"We've been teleported to the Lightning Lake thousands of miles away?" Gu Fei exclaimed. One must know that the Lightning Lake was not in the Northern Lands. Although it was within the borders of Northern Wei, it was at least three thousand miles away from the Northern Mountains City.
"Hehe, that's right. You will be staying here for a few days." Yan 'er smiled. When she smiled, she looked like a little fox who had succeeded in her evil plan.
Gu Fei couldn't help being stunned for a moment before he asked, "What exactly do you want?" Yan 'er's smile made his hair stand on end.
"Let's go! Let's find a place with dense lightning. " Yan 'er didn't answer Gu Fei. Instead, she walked out of the formation and looked at the sky from the small hill.
She saw thick thunderclouds surging in the east and south. The lightning in the thunderclouds was denser and more frequent than the lightning in the other two directions. Most of the thunder came from these two directions, shaking the heaven and earth.
"Let's go to the east. There's a grassland under the thunderclouds. It's just the right place!" Yan 'er said and rushed down the small hill. Like a purple smoke, she headed east.
Gu Fei had no choice but to follow her. The swamp here was different from the Deathly Swamp inside the Virtual Sky World. This place was full of the aura of thunder and lightning, and there seemed to be a burning smell in the air.
The Death Swamp in the Virtual Sky World, on the other hand, was lifeless and a paradise for the undead.
"Roar!"
Just as Yan'er rushed to the grassland under the thunderclouds, an unforeseen event occurred. A low and deep roar seemed to come from the depths of the earth. Then, the grassland under Yan'er's feet began to tremble, as if something was about to rush out from the ground.
Yan 'er quickly retreated. "Peng!" "Bang!" The grassland suddenly exploded. Soil splashed in all directions, and an Unusual Beast rushed out of the ground.
"What's that?!" Gu Fei, who was following closely behind Yan 'er, hurriedly came to a halt. He stared at the Exotic Beast that had rushed out from the ground in shock. The Exotic Beast was four to five meters long and had the appearance of a huge green lion. However, there was a single silver horn on its ferocious head.
"Roar!" The Unusual Beast looked up to the sky and roared. Its voice shook the sky. A burst of crackling lightning came out of its body. At the same time, a fierce murderous aura surged out of its body.
