Ten years ago, the Myriad Islands Sea Area had not been peaceful since the Heavenly Domain City was suddenly interrupted. First, Jiang Tiancheng of the Blood Demon Cave suddenly came back because his beloved disciple Jiang Shuai was trapped somewhere.
According to the gossip, it was said that the last time Jiang Shuai appeared was in the courtyard of the Heavenly Domain City. At that time, other than He Tianxiong and Huang Wanting, there were two other Yuanying cultivators who saw him.
Although Jiang Tiancheng had doubts, he still asked around to find Jiang Shuai's whereabouts. Unfortunately, after more than ten years, there was no result.
Another piece of news was about the sudden rise of the Imperial Corpse Sect's ancestor, the flying female corpse Cui Zhenzhen, ten years ago. Suddenly, the Heavenly Will City and the Blood Demon Cave, the overlords of both the north and south of the Myriad Islands Sea Area, were all in operation, completely sealing off the sea area where the Imperial Corpse Sect was located.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Corpse Sect's cultivators were determined to break through. After a few small battles, the Blood Demon Cave lost again and again. Moreover, it was said that some high-level Metal Elite Corpses gradually appeared in the Imperial Corpse Sect's camp.
In the face of such a tactic, the Blood Demon Cave obviously felt that the gains did not make up for the losses. In the end, they had to mark the five hundred miles of sea area around the Imperial Corpse Sect as a forbidden area.
In addition, there was a rumor that among the cultivators who entered the Heavenly Domain City, there was an early Yuanying cultivator named Yi Tian. It was this person who killed Jiang Shuai and released the flying female corpse Cui Zhenzhen from the Tomb Island.
There were many versions of the rumor, but almost all of them were directed at Yi Tian himself. Unfortunately, no one had seen him since the disappearance of the Heavenly Domain City.
However, there were still drawings of him in those black markets, and there was a mysterious buyer who paid ten million spirit stones for his head. The person who provided the information could also get three million spirit stones.
Each of these things involved Yi Tian, but as the person involved, he was still practicing hard in the Sutra Pavilion in the Heavenly Domain City.
In fact, Yi Tian himself was also very helpless. He was locked in the Sutra Pavilion several times and could not come out. In the end, he had to sit cross-legged and start practicing. The effect of the White Jade Lotus Root was remarkable. One bite of it was equivalent to ten years of meditation.
After Jiang Yi finished eating the White Jade Lotus Root, Yi Tian felt that the spiritual power in his Dantian was almost saturated. Moreover, after the pure spiritual power circulated through his body three times, it actually cleansed the original spiritual power.
As he sat cross-legged in the middle of the Scripture Pavilion, he could clearly feel that the bottleneck of the middle stage of Yuanying was gradually being broken through. After obtaining this opportunity, there was no need to force him to leave immediately. He immediately sat down cross-legged and maintained the Five Hearts Facing the Sky posture as he began to cultivate.
This Qi Circulation not only purified the spiritual power, but also slowly merged the natal Five Elements Real Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire passed down by Ancestor Li Huo. It was more accurate to say that it was devouring rather than merging. In the beginning, the two Real Fires in the hands of the Yuanying Spirit Body were not giving way to each other.
However, the Nanming Primordial Fire was an outsider after all. It did not have a source here. Yi Tian also spent a lot of effort to turn it into a gentle white ball of fire. Then, he used his natal true fire to slowly extract and merge with it. After this process was completed, it felt as if a hundred years had passed.
He stood up and looked at the hourglass placed on the side. The water in it had run out. He couldn't help but be shocked. "This Nanming Primordial Fire is really overbearing. According to the hourglass, it seems that nearly a hundred years have passed. In this way, won't I miss the ship back to the Tianlan Continent?"
After three breaths, Yi Tian's face became dumbfounded. He then sighed and smiled bitterly. It turned out that he had unknowingly crossed the bottleneck and reached the middle stage of the Yuanying Spirit Body. As the saying goes, misfortune is a blessing in disguise. In this way, it saved him a lot of trouble, but it also created a lot more problems.
Yi Tian looked around the small room and didn't find any mechanism. Then, he slowly walked to the mural and stared at it for a long time. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
This mural was a little different from the one in the Yunxiao Pavilion. He couldn't find the difference in a short time. He just felt that the eyes of the old Taoist Wu Xia seemed to be staring at something in front of him.
Following his gaze, he saw an incense burner. Yi Tian immediately scolded in his heart. "You really don't know etiquette. If a disciple of the Yunxiao Pavilion came here to see their own ancestors, they would first burn incense and then kneel three times and kowtow nine times. I was so concerned that I forgot about this."
He immediately took out three sandalwood incense sticks, lit them and bowed to the mural. Then, he inserted the sandalwood incense into the incense burner. Then, he slowly walked to the incense burner and kowtowed to Ancestor Li Huo and the old Taoist Wu Xia.
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, he suddenly saw a flash of light outside the incense burner. Then, a white light shot out and shone on the stone wall directly behind him. After a "ka ka" sound, a five-foot-tall stone door appeared on the originally empty stone wall.
Yi Tian was overjoyed as he slowly walked up and pushed the door open. At first glance, there was only a ball of light inside, but he didn't know where it led to. However, it seemed like there was only one way out. Without hesitation, he lifted his foot and stepped in.
With a "plop", Yi Tian felt as if he had lost control of his body after stepping through the door. Then, he kept falling. After ten breaths, his feet finally touched the ground.
After a moment of dizziness, he opened his eyes. He looked around and found that he was in a pitch-black cave. He hurriedly took out the luminous pearl to light up the surroundings. Yi Tian looked back and found that there was a stone wall behind him. There was a formation engraved on it. It should be the exit to the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion in the Myriad Islands Heaven Domain City.
After turning his head and holding the luminous pearl to light up the passage ahead, Yi Tian found that the path ahead seemed to be slowly sloping upward. He couldn't help but think about it and directly walked forward.
Along the way, Yi Tian found that the path kept going upward. The stone walls of the passage seemed to have been artificially carved. After a quarter of an hour, when he reached the end of the passage, he saw a closed stone door in front of him. He reached out and pushed, but the stone door didn't move.
He looked around the stone door and didn't find any traps. Yi Tian became suspicious and thought, "Qi Shanyun must have calculated the escape route. This stone door doesn't seem to have any traps, but why can't I open it?"
After trying a few more times, Yi Tian finally understood. It wasn't the inside of the stone door that had a problem. It was the outside that had been blocked. Qi Shanyun probably wouldn't have thought that the exit he had designed would be blocked outside after thousands of years.
