The Sun Burial Sandsea was extremely vast. Through the teleportation array, Yi Yun's vision blurred slightly. When his vision became clear once again, he looked around and realized that he had appeared in a tiny oasis.
Due to the intense Yang aura in the Sun Burial Sandsea, natural oases were basically extinct. Any place that had an oasis was augmented by an array formation to maintain its existence.
The tiny oasis was not large in area. A few scattered warriors had arrived through the teleportation array and had yet to leave.
When Yi Yun appeared in the teleportation array, he immediately sensed many gazes and perceptions focused on him.
These perceptions were not weak. With a sweep of his perception, Yi Yun discovered a few powerful auras. Those that came were planning on exploring the depths of the Sun Burial Sandsea, so they were naturally not weak.
These gazes and perceptions shifted away when they realized that Yi Yun was an unfamiliar warrior.
"They are all people from the sects." Yi Yun looked over and saw that the warriors were in groups of three to five. They were dressed in the attire of various sects. There were very few itinerant warriors like him, so he did not attract much attention.
At that moment, he was surprised to see a portrait of himself on a boulder outside the teleportation array.
Yi Yun walked over and saw that it was a warrant for his arrest. And it was issued by the Seven Star Dao Palace.
"Seven Star Dao Palace …" Yi Yun stood in front of the boulder with a deadpan expression as he finished reading the warrant. He and the Seven Star Dao Palace could be considered irreconcilable. At the end of the day, it was because of his immense talent that the Seven Star Dao Palace feared him. The Seven Star Dao Palace was worried that he would seek revenge after he matured, and Yi Yun would indeed do so.
"Kid, stop looking. The person in the portrait is not someone you can afford to offend."
A voice that sounded like it had gone through the vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded. Yi Yun turned his head and saw an old man dressed in coarse clothes. His face was covered in wrinkles and his skin was rough and red as though he had been exposed to the elements. He held a tobacco pipe in his hand and he was smoking it. There was even a packet of tobacco hanging from the tobacco pipe.
Yi Yun was somewhat taken aback when he saw the person's attire. Over the years he had traveled the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven and the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, the elders he had seen were either sage-like, otherworldly experts, or strange and sickly. It was obvious that they were unorthodox ghost cultivators. He had never seen anyone like this.
If not for the special energy fluctuations coming from the old man, Yi Yun would have thought that the old man was an old farmer digging in the ravines.
"Eh?" The farmer took another glance at Yi Yun and shook his head. "You … are quite interesting."
The old farmer seemed to be muttering to himself. Yi Yun's heart palpitated when he heard that. Interesting?
"Haha, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. However, I advise you not to covet the rare treasures in the Sun Burial Sandsea." As the old farmer shook his head, he pointed at the teleportation array behind Yi Yun. "There are already people planning on returning in the next few days."
Over the past few days, many warriors had entered the hinterlands of Sun Burial Sandsea. However, the area covered by the phenomenon was too vast. No one knew where the rare treasure was.
Many warriors were like headless flies in the Sun Burial Sandsea. They searched everywhere but ended up empty-handed.
Sun Burial Sandsea originally had some rare treasures appearing, but in recent days, there had been too many people seeking treasures. There were too many wolves and not enough meat. Ignoring the treasures that could cause phenomena, there were not many ordinary natural treasures.
Not only did many people fail to obtain any benefits, they were even killed by warriors who tried to rob them. This made many people think of retreating.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior." Yi Yun cupped his fists. "This junior does not necessarily need to seek treasures. It's not a bad idea to broaden my horizons."
"Ha, feel free."
After the old man said that, he left while smoking his pipe.
"This old uncle sure is strange …"
Yi Yun frowned slightly. His intuition told him that the elder was not simple but he did not know his origins.
Yi Yun left the oasis in a seemingly casual manner. When he came to a deserted spot, he used the Purple Crystal's energy vision to confirm that there was no one around. Yi Yun reached out his hand and swiped his interspatial ring. Immediately, an ancient compass appeared in his palm.
It was the child Heaven Secrets Compass. When Ji Shuiyan handed it to Yi Yun, she had already told him how to use it.
Many people were like headless flies in the Sun Burial Sandsea but Yi Yun had this treasure.
Yi Yun injected a rune into the child Heaven Secrets Compass and immediately, it emitted a blurry luster.
"There's a reaction … although it's very weak …"
Yi Yun held the Heaven Secrets Compass in hand and began identifying his bearings.
His encounter with the elder from before made Yi Yun somewhat wary. From the looks of it, there were many experts on this trip to the Sun Burial Sandsea. He had to be extremely careful.
The Heaven Secrets Compass was a treasure passed down from ancient times by the Heaven Secrets Chapter. The connection between the parent and child Heaven Secrets Compass involved geomancy mystic arts, making it very difficult to sever.
However, at that moment, Yi Yun realized that even with the child Heaven Secrets Compass in hand, the location of the parent Heaven Secrets Compass was somewhat blurry. After searching for several hours, he only managed to make the child Heaven Secrets Compass's luster turn slightly stronger.
"There must be some energy obstructing it …"
Yi Yun muttered to himself with a frown. Although the connection between the parent and child Heaven Secrets Compass was not easily severed, if it was obstructed by an array formation or space-time forces, the connection itself could turn chaotic. He needed to be sufficiently close to the parent Heaven Secrets Compass to find its location.
However, Yi Yun was in no hurry. He found the child Heaven Secrets Compass difficult to locate, much less other warriors.
With the child Heaven Secrets Compass in hand, Yi Yun slowly searched for the correct location. And the closer he was, the stronger the extreme Yang power he sensed. If a typical warrior were here, their organs would have been burned to death.
The sand here was even softer. When he stepped on it, the sand would cover his entire foot. If not for his Yuan Qi enveloping his foot, it would have caught fire the moment he stepped on it.
Suddenly, the child Heaven Secrets Compass emitted a luster. However, when Yi Yun looked around, he saw nothing but emptiness. There was nothing special about it.
"Oh?" Yi Yun suddenly looked at the soft, boiling sand beneath his feet.
He could not see anything around him, but the child Heaven Secrets Compass had sensed the location of the parent Heaven Secrets Compass …
"Open!" Yi Yun drew his sword and slashed down at the desert in front of him.
Immediately, the yellow sand billowed and split apart, revealing a deep ravine.
After slashing a few times, Yi Yun's eyes lit up.
A pitch-black hole suddenly appeared in the depths of the ground.
The hole was burned red and there were red flames flickering inside. It was like the entrance to hell.
With the child Heaven Secrets Compass in hand, Yi Yun did not hesitate to fly in.
Instantly, the yellow sand surged downwards and in a blink of an eye, the hole was submerged once again, returning it to the state of a desert.
Everything was restored to its original state. Even the heat from before had vanished, as though it was just an illusion.
If not for the child Heaven Secrets Compass, it would be impossible to imagine that there was another world beneath the desert.
While Yi Yun entered the hole, a group of people were slowly proceeding forward in another desert five hundred kilometers away.
If Yi Yun were here, he would have recognized them at a glance.
The group of people was dressed in seven-starred Daoist robes. Leading them was a woman who was none other than the Seven Star Palace's Deputy Palatial Lord, Liu Ruyi. And behind her was the Heaven Secrets Chapter's Master Tianxiao.
At that moment, Master Tianxiao was holding a heavy compass. He was doing his best to divine the location. His forehead was covered in sweat. After two hours of divine divination under the blazing sun, he finally put down the disk array bitterly.
"Master Tianxiao, have you not figured out the location?" Liu Ruyi asked with a frown. They had been in the land of the phenomenon for several days but had yet to figure it out.
Master Tianxiao said, "The Yuan Qi in the land of the phenomenon is chaotic. It has even formed a natural array. Using geomancy mystic arts to divine the worldly forces is equivalent to seeing through the secrets of heaven. How can it be that easy? However, Deputy Palatial Lord Liu, don't worry. Although I'm a little slow, it will take me at most ten days to find the location of the treasure! "
"In the present Sun Burial Sandsea, only I have the ability to do so. No one else can find it."
Master Tianxiao said rather confidently.
"That long?"
Liu Ruyi was somewhat displeased but that was all she could do.
