After walking through the passage of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations, Yi Tian felt the temperature in front of him drop sharply. He had to raise a protective barrier to protect himself before he could continue to explore. Yan Qiu, who was behind him, naturally followed suit. Since even a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator had to take precautions, a mid Body Integration Stage cultivator like him naturally couldn't be spared.
The absolute strength Yi Tian displayed in the ambush of the azure lion had deeply shocked Yan Qiu. He didn't have many opportunities to see a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator. But this didn't mean that he didn't have such experience. At least, the strength displayed by the True Immortal Wu Jue from the lower realm had given Yan Qiu some understanding of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator.
Although Wu Jue's cultivation returned to the peak of the late Body Integration Stage under a secret technique, Yan Qiu had already deeply imprinted the strength of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator's spirit pressure into his mind. So when Yi Tian unintentionally displayed his true cultivation against the azure lion, it naturally attracted Yan Qiu's attention.
At this point, he secretly rejoiced that he had placed the right bet. The Netherworld Emperor, the Lord of the Nether Realm, was only at this level. Now, there was a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator in front of him, and it seemed that they had a good relationship. So, Yan Qiu still didn't make the right choice. At the same time, he thought of Wan Gang and Shi Jinming. They should have known about this long ago, which was why they joined forces without hesitation.
Although it was a four against two situation in the fragment of the Celestial Realm, Yi Tian, as the main battle force, was very likely to suppress Wu Jue. So, the remaining three people could deal with the Netherworld Child.
At this point, Yan Qiu was convinced. With such a firm belief, he would inevitably get closer to Yi Tian.
Yi Tian, who was leading the way, also expected this, but he didn't say anything. There was still a long way to go to cooperate. Originally, he cooperated with Yan Qiu as equals. If he really suppressed him with power, it would be counterproductive. Moreover, these people all knew how to read people's expressions. It was fine as long as everyone understood.
After exiting the passageway, Yi Tian felt a bone-piercing cold wind blowing past his face. Looking around, he found himself in the middle of a vast snowy plain. After Yan Qiu walked out of the passage, the exit behind him slowly closed in less than three breaths.
The two of them leaped high into the sky. Yi Tian spread out his divine sense and scanned the area. He found that the suppression of his divine sense by the formation here was slightly less than in the previous two places. Right now, his Divine Sense could already detect everything within a radius of a thousand miles. However, he had yet to find any traces left behind by the Netherworld Child.
Looking around, the two of them should be at the boundary of the Palace of Kan but other than the white snowfield, there was nothing else. As Yi Tian thought about it, he began to have doubts in his heart. It wasn't that Yan Qiu's information was wrong, but he was very concerned about the true purpose of the person who set up the Stone Soldier Eight Formations. It was obvious that the environment of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations was based on the Stone Soldier Eight Formations as a mirror image of the various palaces.
Most of the snowy plains here weren't illusory, but he had already explored the outside world before entering the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formations'. The Stone Soldier Eight Formations covered an area of ten thousand miles. However, there was no distinction between seasons in the Celestial Realm fragment. After thinking for a while, Yi Tian took out the Solar Compass and placed it on his palm after activating it.
However, when his gaze fell on the Heavenly Lake in the center, he found that the method that had worked so well in the past had failed here. There was a red line spinning in the Heavenly Lake in the center of the Sundial Luogeng. It seemed to be unable to determine its direction.
At this point, Yi Tian had no idea how to track it. However, a thought flashed through his mind. He could only turn around and ask tentatively, "Fellow Yan Qiu, do you have any communication jade talisman or other means of communication with the Netherworld Child?"
"Yes." Yan Qiu took out a jade talisman and gently handed it over. "This communication jade talisman was given to me by the Netherworld Child for one-way communication."
"Why one-way communication?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
"Although he asked me to follow Wu Jue, he also left something behind. After all, they each have their own ulterior motives. They don't really want to cooperate." Yan Qiu said.
Yi Tian nodded. He naturally knew what he meant. Then, he said, "Then, activate the talisman and send it out. It will also point us in the right direction."
"Then, what should I write on it? If the Netherworld Child notices it, it will alert him. "Yan Qiu said.
"It's fine. I don't think the Netherworld Child will be able to succeed so easily." Yi Tian said calmly.
"Why do you think so?" Yan Qiu asked, puzzled.
"Look at the environment here. With our strength, we can't even identify the exact location of the First Yuan Primordial Water, let alone the Netherworld Child." Yi Tian said firmly. "Moreover, there will be immortal beasts or true spirits guarding each palace in the Stone Soldier Eight Formations. With the Netherworld Child's strength, it's very unlikely for him to get the First Yuan Primordial Water without bloodshed."
"Then it seems that we still have a lot of chances to find him before he gets the water," Yan Qiu said.
"That's right. You can write in the communication jade talisman that the three of us have already entered the formation. At this time, you and Wu Jue can retreat temporarily." Yi Tian smiled.
"Why does Brother Yi want to tell the Netherworld Child about your whereabouts?" Yan Qiu asked with doubt. "Isn't it better to catch him off guard?"
"I've never thought of killing Netherworld Boy here," Yi Tian shook his head and said, "Killing him won't bring me any benefits at all. Moreover, that bastard Ning Kuang won't let me go, so why bother?"
"Didn't Brother Yi say that he wants to deal with the Netherworld Child? I wonder how you're going to deal with it?" Yan Qiu asked.
"Now, we can use the strategy of 'driving the tiger to devour the wolf.' That's the most beneficial to us." Yi Tian smiled.
"Don't tell me that Brother Yi wants Wu Jue and the Netherworld Child to fight each other?" Yan Qiu said. "But since they've reached a temporary agreement, they won't fight each other directly."
"Their alliance is based on benefits. If I'm not wrong, the two of them have a private division of labor. If we can create a crack in their fragile alliance, it'll be much easier." Yi Tian explained.
"That's right. But Brother Yi, you should know that the Netherworld Child can only fight Wu Jue. It's impossible." Yan Qiu said, "So, how are we going to provoke them to fight each other?"
"We can use the 'Primordial Water of First Yuan'." Yi Tian said. "However, we have to find the Netherworld Child first and make a decision based on the situation at that time. Fellow Yan, let me have a look at the communication jade talisman."
Although Yan Qiu did not know what was going on, he did not dare to go against his own will. He stretched out his hand and handed over the communication jade talisman. Yi Tian stretched out his hand and stopped the communication jade talisman in mid-air. His eyes swept across it and quickly scanned the formation patterns on it. After that, he used his right index finger to draw a green mark out of thin air and directly sent it into the communication jade talisman.
After doing this, Yi Tian handed the communication jade talisman back to Yan Qiu. The latter took the communication jade talisman and injected spiritual power into it. After writing some information, he activated it and sent it out.
The communication jade talisman turned into a flashing meteor. After circling in the air, it chose a direction and flew straight. After three breaths, it disappeared into the vast snowfield. Seeing this, Yi Tian smiled faintly and said, "That's great. Fellow Yan, we'll set off ten breaths later." After a while, he flew in the direction the communication jade talisman left. Yan Qiu, who was behind him, hurriedly followed.
In the endless snowfield, it was different with a guide. Yi Tian knew that if he flew at full speed, Yan Qiu would definitely not be able to catch up. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down his flying speed.
Yan Qiu naturally noticed this, so he followed closely and maintained a distance of about a hundred feet. After flying for about a thousand miles, seeing that Yi Tian didn't show any signs of stopping, Yan Qiu couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He immediately asked through voice transmission, "Brother Yi, can you confirm the location of the netherworld child?"
"Not now." Yi Tian shook his head and replied, "The communication jade talisman hasn't stopped yet. It's about three thousand miles away from us."
"Brother Yi can lock the location of the communication jade talisman in this formation. It's really amazing." Yan Qiu praised. Speaking of which, he secretly left a Divine Thought imprint on the communication jade talisman. However, after flying for five hundred miles, he could no longer rely on Divine Thought to track it.
On the other hand, Yi Tian said calmly, "I re-engraved the tracking 'Flying Thunder Seal' mystic method imprint into the communication jade talisman. That's why I can track it. But there's also a distance limit. I can't sense it beyond five thousand miles. "
"I see. Then we just need to maintain this distance." Yan Qiu sighed.
"Something like that." As he spoke, Yi Tian suddenly relaxed his brows and smiled, "Found it. It's really easy to find it without any effort."
"Then let's go quickly."
"There's no hurry." Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "From the response from the Flying Thunder Seal, I can sense that there's a huge spiritual pressure fluctuation on the netherworld child's side. He should be fighting with someone now. Sometimes, it's better to be on time than to be early. We just need to maintain this speed and let them practice first. "
Seeing the smile on Yi Tian's face, Yan Qiu tactfully shut his mouth. Since the netherworld child was fighting now, it was better to wait for him to play for a while before going.
Yi Tian slowly slowed down to half of his original speed. Then, he took out an aura concealing cloak from his storage ring and handed it to Yan Qiu, "Wear this. It can effectively suppress your spiritual pressure fluctuation to the extreme. We'll sneak up on him and catch him off guard."
Yan Qiu took the cloak and put it on without saying anything. Then, he looked up and saw that Yi Tian had already suppressed his spiritual pressure fluctuation. After ten breaths, his aura had dropped to Yuanying level, but his speed was still maintained at the original speed. Yan Qiu knew that if he suppressed his spiritual pressure fluctuation to Yuanying level, he naturally wouldn't be able to maintain this speed. Fortunately, he still had the aura concealing cloak. After injecting his spiritual power into it, the cloak was activated.
A white halo protected Yan Qiu's body. The spiritual pressure fluctuation on his body was contained within the white halo, and it didn't leak out at all. Just like this, Yan Qiu followed behind Yi Tian and gradually suppressed his aura. They quickly approached the netherworld child's location.
After flying to a distance of five hundred kilometers, Yi Tian once again reduced his speed and maintained it at a quarter of his full speed. After the two of them flew for a while, they suddenly saw two spirit lights fiercely fighting in the sky not far away. One of them was black and white, and it emitted a dense netherworld aura. It was undoubtedly the netherworld child. The other was blue, and it contained a large amount of water spirit force.
Yi Tian saw it clearly. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and he used his Heavenly Devil Eye to look at the two spirit lights. At this time, the netherworld child was wearing the battle armor transformed by the White Tiger Pearl. He wielded a five-foot-long saber in his hand and fought in close combat with his opponent.
In the blue spirit light opposite him, a strange beast with a beast head, pixiu hooves, and a dragon tail loomed. Yi Tian took a closer look and muttered, "It turns out to be a water qilin. However, this kind of spiritual beast is also very rare. I didn't expect to encounter such a species in the 'Kan' palace of the 'Stone Soldier Eight Formations'."
"Brother Yi, why do you have such a feeling?" Yan Qiu behind him hurriedly asked, "Since it's a water qilin, what's so special about it?"
"A strange beast like the water qilin is proficient in water escape, and it especially likes to live in the depths of the Serene Jade Cold Pond. In addition to summoning wind and rain, it can also control water spirit power at will. Especially in this North Water 'Kan' palace, it has the geographical advantage, so it can exert 120% of its power," Yi Tian explained.
"That's enough for the netherworld child to have a hard time," Yan Qiu jeered after hearing it.
"Fellow Yan, don't be happy too early. The Netherworld Child's technique is of the Yin attribute, so the Water Qilin doesn't have much of an effect on him." Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "On the other hand, my technique is at a disadvantage in this environment. I have to think carefully before making a move."
"Brother Yi, you don't have to belittle yourself. I already know your background. If you use the Buddhist technique, you won't be affected like this," Yan Qiu replied indifferently.
With a faint smile on his face, Yi Tian didn't directly reply, but he nodded in tacit agreement. Immediately, he took out the Taiyuan Wood Sword and a palm-sized mirror. After injecting spiritual power in his palm, he cast the two spiritual weapons.
After a short while, the two flew to a place not far away, only to hear continuous roars in the air. At the same time, a large number of ice explosion spells scattered in the air, blocking their vision. Yi Tian's gaze swept across and found that a hundred miles away, the netherworld child was wielding a single blade in his hand, casting out white light arcs to destroy the ice explosion spat out by the water qilin's mouth.
Seeing this, Yi Tian secretly transmitted his voice, "There seems to be a strange treasure at the bottom of the deep pond below. Why don't we take advantage of it, Brother Yan?"
