Everyone returned to their respective residences, packed their things, and returned to the Supreme Mystery Hall. When everyone had arrived, Daoist Xuantian and the heads of the seven branches walked out of the hall.
Following behind Daoist Xuantian and the Seven Branch Heads was Dan Chenzi, the leader of the team. He was a terrifying expert who was only one step away from breaking through to the Void Controlling Realm.
This was enough to show how much importance the upper echelons of the Supreme Mystery Sect placed on this trip to the Ruined Sky Realm. Even in the entire Supreme Mystery Sect, there were not many cultivators at the ninth level of the Ascended Realm.
When Gu Fei and the others saw Daoist Xuantian, they hurriedly bowed. Daoist Xuantian only nodded slightly, then waved his sleeve, and a scroll shrouded in golden light flew out.
As soon as the scroll left his sleeve, it instantly unfurled and rapidly expanded into a huge scroll that was six feet wide and four feet long. It seemed both real and illusory as it floated in the air.
"A Dao Technique Scroll?" Gu Fei and Zi Yu looked at each other. Of course they knew what it was. The mysterious expert who tried to kill Gu Fei at the foot of Green Spirit Peak had used a Dao Technique Scroll to escape.
This kind of scroll that had the power of a Dao Technique sealed on it was even more precious than a Dao Talisman that had the power of a Dao Technique sealed on it, and the power of the Dao technique it released was even more powerful.
Even in a large Dao Sect like the Shang Qing Sect, not many people were willing to spend a lot of effort to refine a Dao Technique Scroll, because it was too time-consuming and laborious.
Therefore, Dao Technique Scrolls were rare in the world of cultivation.
The middle-aged Daoist Dan Chenzi leaped up and landed lightly on the huge Dao Technique Scroll. Then, Gu Fei, Li Lingfeng, Dongfang Chen, Zi Yu, and the others leaped onto the scroll one after another.
The gigantic Taoist technique scroll became illusory, as if it had already transformed into nothingness. However, when Gu Qing leaped onto it, he discovered that there was a gentle force supporting him from beneath his feet. It actually made him feel as if he was standing on the ground, very stable.
On the scroll, Dan Chenzi and the disciples bid farewell to Daoist Xuantian and the seven peak heads. Dan Chenzi formed a seal, and the huge scroll immediately carried everyone into the sky. It turned into a golden cloud and quickly flew south.
The Southern Wasteland Hundred Thousand Great Mountains was located in the southern part of the Teng Long Continent. It was a boundless and desolate land. It was thousands of miles away from the Supreme Mystery Sect in the Qi Kingdom and was no longer within the borders of the Qi Kingdom.
Originally, the Taixuan Sect had planned to open its doors to recruit disciples from the secular world after the Nine Peaks Trials. However, since the trip to the Void Sky, which was held once every two sixty-year cycles, would determine whether Daoist Xuantian and the seven chiefs would be able to break through to the Demigod realm, the recruitment of disciples that happened once every ten years was temporarily postponed.
However, it seemed that the outside world had not received the news yet. Thus, people from all over the Qi Kingdom, and even the entire Central Plains, the royal family, the wealthy merchants, and even the common people were all escorting children of the right age to Taixuan Mountain.
In the eyes of the common people, if their children had a chance to enter the Celestial Gate and learn the Way, it would be a matter of supreme glory. Thus, every time it was the day that the Three Great Path Schools recruited disciples, there would be a sea of people outside the stations of the Three Great Path Schools. All kinds of people from all over the continent would gather together, and it was extremely lively.
"Grandpa, how far is it?" On a mountain road leading to Taixuan Mountain, a young and crisp voice came from a black carriage coming from the other end of the mountain road.
The fog on the mountain road had not dissipated, and there was still a lit lantern hanging in front of the carriage. Even though the sun was already high in the sky, the fog in the mountains had not completely dissipated.
A white-haired old man in a cotton robe was driving the carriage, holding a horsewhip in one hand. The mountain road was steep, and the carriage did not go very fast.
"Soon, soon!" The old man replied to the child in the carriage while concentrating on driving the carriage. Walking in the mountains, especially driving a carriage, was not an easy task.
If one was not careful, they might hit a big tree or hit a rock on the mountain road. The carriage would overturn and roll into a deep valley or down a cliff, and there would be no hope of recovery.
The carriage was passing through a dense forest. The forest was dark, and they could just barely see the road. The old man was very focused, and soon, the carriage passed through the dense forest and came out of the forest.
The sun was a bit dazzling. The old man stopped the carriage by the side of the road and blew out the lantern hanging in front of the carriage.
"Grandpa! Why did you stop? " The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a child with red lips and white teeth, who looked like a porcelain doll, poked his head out and asked.
"Haha! Young Master, let's rest here for a while and eat something before we continue on our way. " The old man said with a smile, and then jumped out of the carriage. He untied a linen bag tied to the horse's back and took out some dry food from it.
"Hey! Grandpa, look, what's that? " Suddenly, the child looked up at the sky in surprise, and his little finger pointed to the southern sky as he shouted to the old man.
The white-haired old man quickly looked in the direction that the child was pointing and saw a golden cloud rushing out of the mountains, flying quickly toward the south.
The golden cloud moved very quickly, and after a while, it disappeared into the southern sky.
"That is …" The old man's face was full of surprise. He seemed to think of something and could not speak for a long time. He stared blankly in the direction that the golden cloud disappeared.
"Grandpa, what is that? Could it be that the immortals who ride on the clouds in the mountains have come out of the mountains?" The child was excited, and his little face was flushed, which made him look very cute.
"Yes! The immortals who ride on the clouds and ride on the mist! " The old man murmured to himself, but no one knew what he was thinking. He was already a person who was about to be buried in the soil. The immortal path? He had no fate with it in this life, but he hoped that it would be in the next life!
The golden cloud that the old man and the child saw was the giant path technique scroll that Dan Chenzi had used to carry Gu Fei and the others south.
They were flying in the mountains, but they did not hide their whereabouts, because this was still the territory of the Taixuan Sect. It seemed that other than the great demons, no one would dare to come here and cause trouble.
There were not many great demons like the Demon Lord of Six Paths in the entire cultivation world of the Teng Long Continent. Otherwise, the whole world would be plunged into an abyss of misery.
High up in the sky, Dan Chenzi controlled the path technique scroll and flew between the sky and the earth. The wind was biting cold, and it was like the edge of a knife tearing through the outside of the scroll, making an extremely sharp sound that made people's hearts palpitate.
Flying in the wind was not an easy task. For example, the Daoless Art Scroll emitted a power that protected everyone within it. The astral winds outside were enough to tear them to pieces.
It was no wonder that only great cultivators in the Imperial Void Realm could soar between the sky and the earth and ignore the wind of the nine heavens. If it were not for the path technique scroll, even Dan Chenzi would not have been able to withstand the endless attack of the wind.
Gu Fei looked down from the scroll and saw that the mountains were moving backward rapidly. Soon, he saw that there were more and more people below, and some cities and towns began to appear.
The Kingdom of Qi had a territory of tens of thousands of miles. It was a superpower that occupied a territory of tens of thousands of miles to the east of the Central Plains. The Teng Long Continent was vast and boundless, and the Central Plains was the most fertile land in the entire continent.
There were also two empires that occupied a territory of tens of thousands of miles, one in the south and one in the west of the Central Plains! The Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Wasteland bordered the Kingdom of Yan.
The Southern Wasteland was a unique place. Although it belonged to the Southern Yan, and the Kingdom of Yan had established it as the Southern Wasteland Prefecture, the Prefecture of the Southern Wasteland was subordinate to the Kingdom of Yan. However, the Prefecture of the Southern Wasteland was far away from the Emperor of Yan, and they did not really listen to the orders of the Emperor of Yan. It was like a country of its own.
The first destination of Gu Fei and the others in the Southern Wasteland was the Dragon Emperor City of the Southern Wasteland. The people of the Three Great Daoist Sects met up in the Dragon Emperor City, and then entered the Ten Thousand Mountains together.
The flying speed of the Daoist Technique Scroll was undoubtedly extremely fast. By noon, the huge golden scroll had already carried Gu Fei and the others out of the territory of the Kingdom of Qi, and into the territory of the Kingdom of Yan.
According to Dan Chenzi, they would be able to reach the Dragon Emperor City of the Southern Wasteland by nightfall. It was a distance of tens of thousands of miles, and they could reach it in one day. The flying speed of the Daoist Technique Scroll was really shocking. The Daoist Technique Scroll under their feet should be incomparably precious.
However, just as Dan Chenzi was controlling the scroll to carry them past a deep mountain range, a figure wearing a black robe and surrounded by black qi appeared on the peak of a mountain.
It was a pale-faced, crimson-haired young man. His crimson-haired hair casually draped over his shoulders like a waterfall, and his body was surging with endless demonic qi. That was the demonic qi that even mortals were afraid of.
The crimson-haired young man suddenly raised his head and looked at the golden cloud that was quickly passing by above his head. A trace of an evil smile appeared on his face, and then he grabbed towards the golden cloud in the sky with his right hand.
Although it seemed like a casual grab, it shook the heavens and the earth, and the wind and clouds changed color because of it. Surging demonic qi surged out of his hand, and in an instant, it covered the heavens and the earth, and covered half of the sky. The heavens and the earth immediately darkened.
The surging demonic qi formed a huge demonic hand, and from below, it grabbed towards the golden cloud in the sky. This scene was shocking. The demonic hand shattered the cloud in the sky, and covered the heavens and the earth. Before it could grab the cloud, it had already violently shook, as if it was about to disperse.
The people on the cloud were greatly shocked. The boundless demonic qi made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and even their souls were about to leave their bodies.
"Roar!" Dan Chenzi did not panic in the face of danger. With an angry roar, an unparalleled magical power surged out of his body. Then, the golden cloud that was formed by the Taoist technique scroll suddenly increased in speed. It seemed to have turned into a flickering shadow, and in an instant, it had rushed forward hundreds of feet.
The gigantic demonic claw that was as large as a mountain grabbed thin air.
"Huh?" On the mountain peak, the crimson-haired young man's eyes flashed with a strange look. He was a little surprised, as if he did not expect Dan Chenzi and the others to be able to dodge his claw.
However, this crimson-haired young man was like a supreme demon. His Primordial Spirit was illusionary, and a thousand miles were like a courtyard. His claw grabbed thin air, and with a flip of his palm, the gigantic demonic claw actually appeared above Dan Chenzi and the others in an instant, and directly slammed down towards them.
Dan Chenzi's face immediately turned ashen, and his forehead was already dripping with sweat. This sudden attack from the demon was simply too powerful, and he could not contend against it. If he had escaped alone, he might have had a chance of survival, but …
Dan Chenzi did not dare to abandon Gu Fei, Li Lingfeng, and the others to escape alone.
