The moon was dark and the wind was strong. Two gusts of chilly wind were flying low on the surface of the sea, like swallows flying across the water. Their speed was no different from swallows flying in the sky.
The two gusts of chilly wind were none other than Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha.
Taking advantage of the night, the two of them used the power of their souls to propel their physical bodies into the sky. Their coordination was perfect for each other.
Although Hong Yi's soul had left his body and flown into the sky before, he had never experienced the feeling of flying with his physical body! Flying with his physical body was the true meaning of flying. It was like a real immortal riding the wind and clouds, traveling between the heavens and the earth.
Hong Yi could feel the cool breeze around him, and the Chan Yinsha's spiritual power wrapped around him, forming an invisible layer of eggshell that blocked the wind as he flew. He felt an indescribable sense of elation as he looked at the waves beneath his feet and retreated.
At this moment, the benefits of having two ghostly immortal level experts as Dao companions could be seen.
No matter what, it was difficult for a person to fly alone. Right now, Hong Yi's soul power was extremely strong. It was not difficult for him to lift a huge rock that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. He could also toss others into the sky with a single thought.
However, it was impossible for him to fly with his physical body.
This was because a person's soul was wrapped around his body. If he exerted even the slightest bit of force, it would be absorbed by his blood.
Unless he was an expert like the Peacock King who had gone through three Lightning Tribulations. Even if he had gone through three or four Lightning Tribulations, it was still too difficult for him to fly. It would consume his soul, blood, and Qi.
As the saying went, 'An immortal island still needs companions …'. This was the effect of Dao companions.
When two people became Dao companions, they would be able to fly and come and go like the wind by channeling their strength together.
If they were not Dao companions, two people with ulterior motives would never allow each other's soul to wrap around their physical bodies. This was equivalent to putting their lives in the hands of others. Any mistake and they would fall into someone else's hands, ending up in a miserable state.
But since Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha had become Dao companions, they had cultivated together for many days and exchanged their strongest Dao techniques. Now that they were complementing each other, they could at least escape from any danger that their physical bodies could not escape from.
After a night of flying, they had traveled at least a thousand miles across the sea. When the sky was just beginning to brighten, the two of them landed on an island.
This was a desolate and uninhabited island. There were many mountains on the island, and there were towering trees everywhere. There was also a pungent smell of sulfur and magma; there were many volcanic vents.
Hong Yi looked down from the sky. The island was so dense that it looked like a new continent. He couldn't even see the end of it.
"Have we reached the Wasteland?"
Hong Yi asked Chan Yinsha as he looked at the uninhabited island filled with volcanic craters.
"It's still early. It'll take at least two days and two nights to get to the Savage Desolate Land. Right now, we're not even halfway there. But flying for an entire night must have taken quite a toll on our souls. Let's go down and eat something and rest. "
As Chan Yinsha spoke, he and Hong Yi landed on the beach.
The beach was pure white. As the waves washed over it, the surroundings were quiet and desolate. There was no sign of human presence at all. When the two of them landed on the beach, Hong Yi suddenly felt a kind of ethereal feeling in his heart, like they were an immortal couple.
"This is what a true immortal is like! Carefree and carefree, far away from the clamor of the mortal world. If I could live like this for eternity, how comfortable would that be? "
When Chan Yinsha landed on the beach, he didn't have Hong Yi's scholarly thoughts. Instead, with a sweep of his thoughts, a few chilly winds flew into the dense forest like nooses. Following that, a few brightly-feathered pheasants, snow-white hares, and some lingzhi mushrooms were swept out.
Following that, with a thought from Chan Yinsha, the seawater condensed into a few sparkling water blades, slicing the pheasants and hares.
After skinning the pheasants and hares, Chan Yinsha smiled and said, "There's an old pine forest here. The pheasants and hares all grow up eating pine nuts and poria. They taste delicious. You happen to know how to control the fire. Let's see if you can control the heat well after roasting them."
"No problem!"
With a flick of Hong Yi's finger, a small flame condensed and gradually spread out. Following that, strands of flame surrounded the pheasants and hares. Soon, the pheasants and hares were cooked and emitted an alluring fragrance.
Chan Yinsha then took out salt, oil, and spices and sprinkled them on top, making the color of the barbecue even more golden.
After the barbecue was done, the two of them sat on the ground and ate carefully. As expected, the taste of the game was delicious. It wasn't something ordinary dishes could compare to.
"This taste is comparable to the mandarin fish that grew up eating peach blossoms in the Heavenly Wind Nation."
As they ate, Hong Yi exclaimed in admiration. Although he was particular about eating without talking, the taste of the pheasants and hares was too delicious. "I don't know what this island is called.
"I don't know what the name of this island is, but it has a circumference of thousands of miles. It's very vast and can be considered a piece of land. It's a pity that it's deep in the sea, and volcanoes often erupt, so there's no sign of human habitation. I've been here once and found a lot of elixirs on the island. But at that time, I didn't have much time to search for them. Now that we've become Daoist companions, we can fly with our physical bodies and travel around the world. Finally, we don't have to worry about our physical bodies having problems if our souls travel for too long. When we have time, we'll travel to all the islands and lands in the sea. We'll explore the abodes of ancient Daoist cultivators and look for treasures of heaven and earth.
Chan Yinsha used his fingers to tear pieces of chicken and chewed them carefully in his mouth. After that, he spoke in a relaxed tone.
Although traveling with one's soul was convenient and could easily travel a thousand miles in a day, if one was away for too long, they would always have to worry about problems with their physical bodies.
After becoming dao companions, all these problems could be easily solved.
A dao companion among cultivators was much more important than a husband and wife in the secular world. It wasn't to carry on the family line, get married, and have children. Instead, it was to help each other and share life and death in the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao.
In the secular world, one could easily find a husband and wife, but not a dao companion.
"When we get our hands on the Cosmos Sack, we'll use the eight directions to store all the good stuff in it. Otherwise, it'll be inconvenient to bring it along every time we travel with our souls. I wonder where the Champion Marquis, Bi Shihua, the Peacock King, the Sky Snake King, and even the people from the Yaochi school are now? We've been flying all the way here, but we haven't even seen the shadow of a ship. "
Hong Yi ate a rabbit in two or three bites. After chewing twice, the meat was mashed up and he swallowed it. He then said.
"The sea is so big. It's not easy to bump into them. Maybe they've already arrived before us. But if we bump into the Peacock King, we have to be careful! I'm afraid that even if the two of us join forces, we'll still be no match for him. "
Chan Yinsha said.
"If you understand ten percent of the Sutra of the Past, we'll finally have a fighting chance! I think the scariest one isn't the Peacock King, but the couple, the Sky Snake King and the Xuantian Hall Lord. "Hong Yi said.
"I haven't fought with them before. In fact, no one knows how strong this couple is. Those who have fought with them have basically all died."
"Oh, right. You've traveled to the Barren Land before. The Witchcraft and Ghost Dao is very popular there. It's a place where people sacrifice the dead and cultivate demons. I wonder if you've fought with them before?" Hong Yi suddenly asked.
Silver Veil had roamed the seas for a long time, and had also been to the Barren Land. She was very knowledgeable. This time, Hong Yi went to the Barren Land to ask about everything while he was resting.
"The dao techniques of the Witchcraft and Ghost Dao are mysterious and unfathomable. They seem to be cultivating external demons to restrain inner demons, using demons to control demons. They usually train their bodies to become demons. They have the art of raising corpses. They use the corpses of humans and beasts to create iron corpses, copper corpses, silver corpses, golden corpses, flying corpses, shaman corpses, sky corpses, and corpse emperors. Finally, they become supreme demon lords. They have physical bodies and are extremely powerful. They have wings on their backs and can fly in the sky and burrow into the ground like eagles. They are extremely terrifying. Even Daoist masters are not willing to provoke them. They can also control malicious ghosts to form the Absolute Yin Killing Formation. Their cultivation level is no lower than ours. Rumor has it that after the ancient times, there was a powerful figure in the Witchcraft and Ghost Dao who cultivated the Supreme Demon Lord. He was an existence on the level of the Monogatari's Nine Flaming Dragon. But that's impossible now. If there was such a powerful figure, he would have long gone to Da Qian. Your Flaming Buddha True Body and my Divine Firmament Thunder Arts specialize in restraining demons and witchcraft. These Witchcraft and Ghost Dao figures are nothing to scoff at. "
"Oh? Witchcraft and Ghost Dao's little art of refining corpses can actually be cultivated to the level of the Monogatari's Nine Flaming Dragon? That's really ferocious. However, the Daoist techniques of witchcraft, ghosts, and demons could still be passed down in ancient times. Now, the people were enlightened and knew that they were demons. They would not believe them, and would only try to destroy them in waves. Under the will of the Heavens, no matter how powerful one's mystique was, it would be useless. They can only hide in the barren land and train the indigenous barbarians. "
Hong Yi nodded.
Chan Yinsha said that the Witchcraft and Ghost Dao was "using demons to defeat demons". He knew that this Dao technique had its own unique and profound theories.
But raising demons, familiarizing with external demons, and dealing with internal demons, such Dao techniques could not be accepted by the people, the imperial power, and the various sects. Once they appeared, they would be public enemies.
After the barbecue, the two sat on the beach and quietly cultivated their spirits.
At this time, it was the darkest time before dawn. Naturally, there was a sense of peace and serenity.
Right at this moment, the night birds in the forest all flew up into the air. Hong Yi could also feel that all sorts of birds and beasts were fleeing as if a great disaster was about to befall them.
"Hmm? Could it be that the volcano on the island is about to erupt? "
Sensing the movement, Chan Yinsha and Hong Yi opened their eyes at the same time.
"No, it's in the sky."
Chan Yinsha pointed to the sky. In the dark night, a piercing scream could be heard. Following that, a humanoid monster with two huge wings flew hundreds of zhang in the sky and dove down.
"Hmm? Just say the word and it will appear. The Witchcraft and Ghost Dao's Sky Corpse? "
