After receiving Zheng Tingyun's message, Yi Tian headed directly to the Yunxiao Sect in the Jade Bamboo Ridge. Yi Tian broke the array barrier and snuck in quietly. He followed the sect's path and arrived at the entrance of the Yunxiao Sect's forbidden area.
After seeing the restriction barrier in front of him, Yi Tian also felt a headache. Wu Xiazi's attainments in array formations were definitely much higher than his own. If he forced his way in, he would definitely alarm the people inside. Just as he was feeling helpless, the restriction in front of him opened and an old man with an immortal air walked out. It was Wu Xiazi himself.
He seemed to have locked onto Ye Qingyu's position and turned to bow. Yi Tian felt very helpless, but he could not continue this stalemate. Just as he was about to reveal himself, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air not far away from him.
Soon after, a woman in palace attire slowly appeared. She returned Wu Xiazi's greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi is indeed powerful. I'm afraid you've already discovered me as soon as I entered the restriction formation."
"Madam Wan Yue, why did you come here personally?" Wu Xiazi asked with a serious expression.
"I wonder if you have considered my suggestion last time?" Wan Yue asked.
Wu Xiazi thought for a while before replying. "Actually, Fellow Daoist Wan Yue, you don't have to force me. We have been living peacefully in the Jade Bamboo Ridge for thousands of years."
"Wu Xiazi, you and I have cultivated to this stage. If we want to advance further, it's impossible." Madam Wan Yue said, "You and I have been living in the Jade Bamboo Ridge for over two thousand years. Don't tell me we don't have some clues about our own plans?"
Wu Xiazi waved his hand and said, "The secret realm below is a gift from the heavens to the fated people. Since you and I have spent a thousand years and still can't break into it, why should we brood over it?"
"I have the key, and with your attainments in array formations, we naturally complement each other." Wan Yue was obviously a little anxious as she hurriedly replied, "Could it be that you will just watch as the opportunity here is buried? You have to know that you only have about a thousand years left in your lifespan. If you can't advance to the Unification Stage, you can only take the path of reincarnation."
"Lady Wan Yue, please go back. Back then, your husband and wife worked together with me to explore the crypt. In the end, your husband fell in it, and it is still vivid in my mind. With just your cultivation and my strength, it will be difficult to go down and achieve anything." Wu Xiazi evaded again.
"I knew you would say that, but this time, I found a helper. The other party's strength seems to be at the early stage of the Unification Stage. I believe that with the combined strength of the three of us, we will not repeat the same mistake..."
Wu Xiazi raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that Wan Yue would find a high level cultivator to help her. After thinking for a while, a look of disbelief appeared on his face. "If you and I join forces, then there's still something to say. But to find an outsider whose strength is obviously higher than ours, is Madam Wan Yue not afraid of asking a tiger for its skin?"
Madam Wan Yue sighed and helplessly replied, "Actually, how could I not know about this? It's just that the cave is really dangerous. Three Spirit Severing Stage cultivators working together couldn't gain any advantage. It's really not easy to fight without the help of a high level cultivator."
"I wonder about the identity of the Unification Stage cultivator that Madam Wan Yue found. In recent years, the sect disciples that have disappeared for no reason near Cuizhu Ridge. Could it be related to this person?" Wu Xiazi suddenly changed the topic.
Madam Wan Yue's face also showed an unnatural expression. Before she could reply, she heard Wu Xiazi ask further, "The war of the Devil Disaster just ended. I heard that when the Devil Race army retreated, they fled in a panic. However, there were still many Devil Race rogue cultivators who didn't have time to board the return warship and were stuck outside the realm passage. I guess the person you found to help you shouldn't be a spirit cultivator."
"Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi, why do you have to say this?" Fellow Daoist Wan Yue's expression changed slightly. "I didn't do this because I wanted to find an opportunity."
Wu Xiazi's expression softened slightly, and he sighed. "Forget it. This matter can't be decided so quickly. Madam Wan Yue, why don't you wait for three days? Let me consider thoroughly before giving you an answer."
Madam Wan Yue did not say anything else. She only cupped her hands and flew towards Yunxiao Sect in a flash.
Not long after, Wu Xiazi estimated that Madam Wan Yue had left, and his expression softened slightly. He reached out and quickly formed a seal to seal the sect array formation again. After doing all this, he did not turn around and return to the forbidden area directly. Instead, he looked at the empty space again.
After a few breaths, Wu Xiazi said, "I wonder which Fellow Daoist has arrived. Please come out and show yourself. Your Excellency, you must have heard my conversation with Wan Yue from the side. "
After three breaths, a figure slowly appeared in the empty space in the distance. It was Yi Tian's original body. At that moment, he had already changed his clothes. If he was wearing the Li Fire Sect's Daoist robe, Wu Xiazi would not be as calm as he was now. Yi Tian, who had restrained his cultivation to the late-stage Avatar Realm, slowly walked forward and cupped his hands. "Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi is indeed powerful. I'm Yi Tian. I've spent a lot of effort on array formation, but I wonder how you discovered my existence."
"At first, I discovered Madam Hao Yue's visit. However, after she left, the spirit pressure on her body unintentionally swept past your position, so I discovered you," Wu Xiazi replied.
It turned out that he had thought too much. Wu Xiazi had no way of detecting him just based on his array formation skills and the advantage of his cultivation. It was just that Madam Wan Yue's visit had unknowingly exposed his whereabouts. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "May I ask if Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi is an ascended cultivator?"
"Why do you ask?" Wu Xiazi did not directly answer but asked a question in return.
"The Yunxiao Sect's Proud Cloud Technique of the Tianlan Continent's Vast Sea Outer Sea." Yi Tian said without any reason.
Who knew that Wu Xiazi would be shocked after hearing it. After widening his eyes, he stared at Yi Tian and sized him up from head to toe. After ten breaths, his mouth trembled as he muttered, "How do you know my background? I've never told anyone where I ascended from. Could it be that you're also from there?"
"That's right. I once found a portrait of Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi in the Yunxiao Sect's Vast Sea Outer Sea. That's how I recognized you." After saying that, Yi Tian took out a copy of the Proud Cloud Technique and handed it over.
Wu Xiazi took it and opened it. His Divine Perception skimmed through it quickly. After ten breaths, the vigilance in his eyes relaxed. He then sighed and said, "So we're from the same hometown. I wonder why Brother Yi is here today?"
