After revealing his identity to Wu Xiazi and taking out Zheng Tingyun's communication jade talisman, Yi Tian gained the other party's trust. After chatting for a while, Wu Xiazi led him to his private cave abode to slowly discuss the matter of Lady Wan Yue.
During this period of time, Wu Xiazi also mentioned when the two sects came to this place and when they were established. He also explained their origins clearly.
Yunxiao Sect established their sect with the tacit approval of Senior Brother Ji Xuanyuan. As for Lady Hao Yue and her husband, Daoist Qiushan, they took the path of the Feiyu Kenshū Sect.
Yi Tian also knew that usually, those powerful cultivators who were unable to enter the sect's inner sect would choose to establish a new sect branch in the depths of the Spiritual Realm. This way, he would not be restricted by others when he became a sect master. At most, he would need to contribute when the upper sect asked him to gather.
As for the 'Spirit Concentration Cave Abode' that they found in the Jade Bamboo Ridge, Wu Xiazi had once cooperated with Daoist Qiushan and his wife to investigate it. However, they did not expect it to be so dangerous that they left Daoist Qiushan inside.
This time, Lady Wan Yue came again and seemed to be fully prepared. She invited Wu Xiazi to investigate it a second time. At the same time, she also said that she had found a new helper, which made Wu Xiazi even more confused and anxious. He could not make up his mind to go.
Yi Tian also guessed the identity of the helper that Lady Wan Yue found. Since his cultivation was higher than Wu Xiazi's, he must be a cultivator in the Unification Stage. Now, all the reputable cultivators in the Spiritual Realm knew that the helper that Lady Wan Yue found was most likely the remaining Fiendish Cultivators who could not retreat in time after the Demon Disaster.
These people were all famous figures on the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's wanted list. Since he bumped into them, Yi Tian did not mind dealing with this trivial matter.
When he was discussing with Wu Xiazi, the other party also mentioned the problem that he found after investigating the 'Spirit Concentration Cave Abode'. Then, he told him about the strange phenomenon of the array formation that appeared on the restriction inside.
Yi Tian's array formation skills were not bad, and he immediately mentioned the two possibilities that could cause such a situation. The former was set up by the person who set up the formation to prevent it from being broken by others. The latter was set up by another person many years later to break the formation by using the formation to break the formation. After thinking for a while, he asked about it.
Wu Xiazi said with a solemn expression, "That place must have been set up by later generations."
"How do you know?" Yi Tian asked. Since this was the case, Wu Xiazi must have found some clues on the formation to come to such a conclusion.
Wu Xiazi took out a jade slip and handed it over, saying, "Brother Yi, take a look at this jade slip. This is the formation pattern pattern that I copied down back then. Although I was in a hurry and didn't draw all the formation patterns inside, at least seventy to eighty percent of them are complete."
Yi Tian gently opened the jade slip and scanned it with his Spiritual Force. After three breaths of time, his face remained expressionless, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. This jade slip clearly recorded two sets of formations.
One set was set up in the demon language, the other set was written in golden seal script. Needless to say, the demon formation must have been added by later generations. It was just that the person who set up the formation didn't seem to have completed the effect of breaking the formation with the formation, so he gave up.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian raised his head and asked, "Since there are two sets of formations, do you know where Qiu Shan Daoist ultimately fell?"
Wu Xiazi sighed and said, "In fact, back then, we also broke through many layers of danger with difficulty to reach the depths of the 'Spirit Concentration Cave Abode'. I don't know if it was the bottom, but there were many cave guards around, and their strength was at the peak of the Severed Soul stage."
"Then it was indeed very difficult for you back then," Yi Tian said.
"I remember that when we arrived at the formation, the three of us were very excited. As long as we could break this formation, we might be able to find out the secret of the 'Spirit Concentration Cave Abode'. But who knew that Wan Yue would trigger the formation, and then the formation opened. The inner formation was originally restrained by the outer formation, and after it was triggered, it shot out a ray of light to pull Wan Yue into the formation core. At the critical moment, Qiu Shan Daoist rushed up to push his wife away, but he was locked in the formation core. "
"In that case, Lady Wan Yue is also hoping to save her husband this time," Yi Tian asked after thinking about it.
"It's probably about the same, but who knows if Qiu Shan Daoist is still there after a thousand years." Wu Xiazi sighed, "Even if he was tortured by this formation for a thousand years, I'm afraid his strength is basically exhausted."
"Everything depends on the effort." Yi Tian turned around, closed the jade slip in his hand and handed it over, "In my opinion, although the formation in this jade slip is drawn down, it is not complete. If we look at it on the spot, maybe we can try to break it with our combined strength. "
"Brother Yi, do you think so too?" Wu Xiazi said, "Okay, then I'll immediately send a message to Wan Yue to investigate the 'Spirit Concentration Cave Abode' together."
As he spoke, Wu Xiazi suddenly frowned, and his face revealed an expression of disbelief. He stood up and hurriedly opened the cave abode's restriction and ran out. His body flashed, and he used an escape technique to fly into the sky. Then, he stared at the southeast and carefully examined it.
Yi Tian knew that something must have happened, so he followed Wu Xiazi into the sky without saying a word. He spread out his Divine Sense and scanned towards the southeast. Soon, he found a dense spirit force below a cliff five thousand miles away. The density was clearly several times stronger than the outside world.
Wu Xiazi's face sank, "Not good, Wan Yue is stubborn this time. She went directly to investigate the 'Spirit Concentration Cave Abode' without discussing with me again."
"Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi, you don't have to worry too much. I think that since she can't find you to help her, she will definitely find another way. After all, she has contacted other helpers." Yi Tian said disapprovingly, "Then here comes the question. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Wu Xiazi is going to deal with this. Are you going to wait here for the result or follow her?"
Wu Xiazi listened and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about how to deal with it. The expression on his face changed a few times, then he suddenly opened his eyes and said with determination, "Let's go and take a look."
"That's right." Yi Tian said with a smile, "Time doesn't wait for me. If I miss it, I'll miss it. So, it's better to seize the opportunity in front of me."
After saying that, the two of them turned into two streaks of light and flew toward the place where the spirit force came from. Yi Tian didn't want to reveal too much of his spirit pressure, so he suppressed his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Severing late stage. At the same time, in order to take care of Wu Xiazi, he also used the same speed.
A moment later, the two came to the sky above the cliff. Looking around, this place was at the foot of a mountain in the depths of the Green Bamboo Ridge. The surrounding spirit power was not much stronger than the outside world. It was just that the rich spirit power coming from the cave below was a bit conspicuous. It could be locked in the air from far away.
After landing on the cloud, Wu Xiazi pointed to the surrounding stone walls and said, "When I left that year, I set up a formation here to seal the entrance. Only Wan Yue and I know the location. Now that the sealing formation here has been broken, it should be her who brought people here. "
Yi Tian scanned the surroundings with his Divine Thought and found that there were many traces of formation patterns on the cliffs around the cave entrance. Judging from the depth of the patterns, it should be quite old. At the same time, he secretly kept an eye on it. This time, Wan Yue must have found a Body Integration stage demon cultivator. Wherever they go, there should be some remnants of demon marks or demonic origin power.
After exploring the surroundings with his Divine Thought, Yi Tian revealed a puzzled expression. With his understanding of the demon race, as long as there was a remnant of demonic aura, he would be able to find it immediately. However, after searching back and forth several times, he couldn't find a trace of demonic origin power.
Could it be that Wan Yue found a Body Integration stage rogue cultivator from the spirit realm? It stands to reason that these people had just experienced the demon disaster and wouldn't have the time to get involved in this mess.
With all kinds of doubts in his heart, Yi Tian followed Wu Xiazi down the cloud and arrived at the entrance of the cave. He looked up at the words "Spirit Focus Cave" engraved on the stone wall above the entrance. After looking around, Wu Xiazi took out a disk array and activated it with a few hand seals. Then, he threw the disk array and buried it under his feet.
"Shua!" A white light film flashed and covered the surrounding 100 miles of the "Spirit Focus Cave". The dense spirit power from those movements was restricted by the light film and didn't leak out.
Yi Tian knew that Wu Xiazi didn't want the matter of the "Spirit Focus Cave" to be blown up. This formation could temporarily suppress the matter and deal with it after the exploration was completed.
Wu Xiazi raised his head and winked, "Come with me, Fellow Daoist Yi. I'm afraid we're quite a distance away from Lady Wan Yue. It'll take some time to catch up."
After saying that, he didn't think too much about it. After opening the defensive barrier, he turned around and rushed into the cave. Seeing this, Yi Tian didn't say anything else. He raised the defensive barrier and followed.
After entering the "Spirit Focus Cave", Wu Xiazi opened his Divine Thought and quickly locked onto the direction. Then, he flew forward with ease. Yi Tian followed behind him and opened his Divine Thought to search around.
Obviously, this place seemed to have been here for some years. From the marks left on the surrounding stone walls, it seemed to be at least 10,000 years old. After flying for a short while, 3 forks appeared in front of him. Wu Xiazi didn't seem to make too much of a distinction and flew directly to the right.
After shuttling through the cave for a while, Yi Tian secretly estimated that they were about 100 miles underground. Suddenly, Wu Xiazi, who was leading the way in front, stopped and muttered, "Strange, could it be that this place has changed after a thousand years?"
"What did you find?" Yi Tian's voice asked from behind.
"Back then, the 3 of us had already cleared out the surrounding area, but now it seems that there are still spiritual insects blocking us, and there seems to be a lot of them." Wu Xiazi replied. At the same time, he pointed at the stone wall in front of him and said, "Brother Yi, look, these 'Lanying Moths' have already built a nest in the passage. It seems that Lady Wanyue has already dealt with them."
Following his finger, Yi Tian saw a large amount of blue spirit light shining in front of the stone wall passage 100 feet away. After carefully scanning with his Divine Thought, he found that they were all Yuanying level moths.
Originally, they should have densely sealed the passage inside, but at this moment, there was a 7 feet high and 3 feet wide space in the middle. There was still a trace of bloody smell remaining.
Yi Tian's expression changed slightly. This bloody smell was somewhat familiar. He seemed to have encountered a similar spirit qi before. Thinking about it, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. At the same time, he silently said a name, "Blood Corpse Old Demon."
He didn't expect it to be him. Thinking back to the situation before, Yi Tian had a plan. No wonder he didn't find any demonic origin power along the way. It turned out that he wasn't a Body Integration Stage cultivator.
Back then, when he was in the Yin Corpse Realm, he had interacted with Blood Corpse Old Demon's clone. Now that he investigated, the remaining 'Lanying Moths' did indeed have Blood Corpse Old Demon's aura.
The one who attacked was him. Lady Wanyue had probably led a wolf into the house. Thinking about it, he told Wu Xiazi the conclusion he had found. Hearing this, Wu Xiazi revealed a helpless expression. If Lady Wanyue cooperated with a spirit cultivator, or even a demon cultivator, it wouldn't be a problem. However, cooperating with a corpse cultivator was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. If things went wrong, she might even lose her life.
Thinking about it, Wu Xiazi quickly said, "Brother Yi, let's quickly follow."
Nodding his head, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and pointed at the tunnel entrance. A white flame flashed and lit up the 'Lanying Moths' at the tunnel entrance. What he used was a divine ability from the seventh level of the Li Fire Nine Transformations. By the side, Wu Xiazi was surprised and said, "The Wu Ming Flame is indeed powerful. Brother Yi is indeed worthy of being Ji Xuanyuan's junior brother. In the future, when you master this divine ability, you will have the chance to stabilize your position as the Li Fire Sect's Sect Master."
He didn't expect Wu Xiazi to know so much. Yi Tian smiled and controlled the Wu Ming Flame to burn the 'Lanying Moths' that were affected by Blood Corpse Old Demon's corpse aura. After dispelling the divine ability, he lightly replied, "That corpse cultivator is not simple. Be careful of being affected by his corpse aura. We have to carefully deal with the aftermath along the way. Otherwise, it will not be a small matter if the corpse aura here grows. "
After nodding his head, Wu Xiazi moved again. However, this time, his speed had slowed down. His Divine Sense would occasionally sweep the area in front of him to investigate.
After walking for less than fifteen minutes, the two of them suddenly felt a surge of spirit energy coming from the depths of the tunnel. It brought along astral winds that blew through the tunnel. The tunnel was only ten feet tall and five feet wide. It could barely allow two people to walk side by side. Knowing that there was no way to avoid it, Wu Xiazi and Yi Tian could only open a protective barrier and stare at the astral winds as they moved forward.
After a while, Wu Xiazi said, "They have triggered the array's restrictions. I wonder if they have alarmed the guards here."
"Guards? Could it be that there are still guards in this cavern?" Yi Tian asked in confusion.
"They are all stone puppets. However, back then, I discovered that the refinement process was not something I had seen before." Wu Xiazi's face sank as he said, "This' Spirit Focus cave 'is strange to begin with. The things that have been preserved here are at least tens of thousands of years old."
