After spending some time with Hu Yiyuan in Yong Capital City, Yi Tian also collected a batch of resources. Then, the two of them discussed the future development of the sect.
Yi Tian did not avoid the topic and explained in detail the factions he had made friends with after arriving in the Central Region. Other than the Thousand Spirit Sect, he told Hu Yiyuan everything else. He also left behind a token in case the Li Fire Sect needed help in the future.
Hu Yiyuan also promised to keep Yi Tian's identity a secret for the time being. As for Lu Jinyuan, he would try to deal with him. Regardless, the most important thing now was to figure out the 'end of the horizon' mentioned in the prophecy. Although he did not know where it led to, he felt that going to the Li Fire Ancestral Land's Purple Firmament Hall was the most promising option.
Other than that place, he really did not know where else in the Tian Lan continent could hide Luo Que and Qian Lingzi, two mighty figures from the upper realm.
Yi Tian also felt the same, but to go deep into the ancestral land, he had to break through the surrounding restrictive enchantments. Thankfully, Yi Tian had found a way to break into the Weapon Pavilion after dealing with the Blood Refining Demon Lord. Although it was not very troublesome, it was worth it if he spent a little effort.
After bidding farewell to Hu Yiyuan, Yi Tian once again embarked on a journey alone. This time, his destination was the Li Fire Sect's Weapon Pavilion's restricted area in the west of the Central Region.
Although he found a way to break through the restriction in the Blood Refining Demon Lord's memory fragments, the place to break through was the same every time. One had to know that the restriction was about a thousand miles in radius. It would take some time to find a way to break through the restriction.
Furthermore, these large sects were very cunning. They would often set up hidden sentries around the restriction to monitor if there were any cultivators who dared to sneak into the restriction.
However, Yi Tian was very impressed by the Blood Demon Ancestor's luck. He had entered the restriction several times, but he had not been caught in the act. It was obvious that his way to break through the restriction was very secretive.
Half a month later, Yi Tian flew to a location 50 kilometers away from the Western Artifact Pavilion's ancestral grounds. Looking down from the sky, he could see the white sealing halo from afar.
He used his Divine Sense to scan the area within the forbidden zone. It was not difficult to find that there were several hidden sentries in twos and threes.
It was a pity that the people left behind by these large sects were at most at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Even if he were to break the seal, as long as he didn't cause any earth-shattering commotion, he wouldn't attract their attention.
Yi Tian followed the direction mentioned in the Bloodsmelt Demon Lord's memory fragment and quickly landed on a mountain more than five kilometers away from the restriction. Then, he swept his Divine Sense across the mountainside and found the hidden cave entrance that he had left behind.
Opening the cave in the middle of the mountain during the day might attract attention. Furthermore, the Bloodlust Demon Lord would only sneak in at midnight.
Although Yi Tian wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason. Immediately, he cast an invisibility spell and found a place near the cave entrance to rest.
Yi Tian only opened his eyes when the sky turned dark and the night wind began to blow. He used his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding 50 kilometers. Following that, he looked up at the moon. It happened to be a dark and windy night. When the moon hid behind the clouds, he took a big stride to the cave entrance and slowly chanted an incantation. Ten seconds later, he heard a "Ka Ka" sound as the mountainside's stone wall gently moved three feet, revealing the stone door behind it.
Yi Tian was overjoyed when he saw this. In a flash, he entered the cave and saw the stone wall behind him move back to its original position. After entering the cave, he realized that there was only one path in front of him. Yi Tian followed the path and took out the Sundial Luo Geng to point out the direction. The path in front of him was in the direction of the Li Fire Sect's Artifact Pavilion's restriction.
After walking for about half an hour, he saw the end of the path. However, other than the bare stone wall in front of him and the surrounding moss and weeds, there was nothing else in the cave.
After going through the Bloodlust Demon Lord's memories, he realized that this was the place he had entered every time. The surroundings matched the memory fragments, but other than the strange stone wall in front of him, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
Yi Tian used his Divine Sense to scan the stone wall in front of him a few times, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Looking back, he once again recalled the Bloodlust Demon Lord's memory fragments. After a long while, he sighed and thought to himself, "Could it be a matter of time? If this place can be entered and exited without restraint, why would the Bloodlust Demon Lord go to the Astrology Mountain's Clear Sky Pavilion to seek All-seer's help?"
With this thought in mind, Yi Tian slowly sat down in front of the stone wall. He recalled the times when the Bloodlust Demon Lord went to the Clear Sky Pavilion to seek All-seer for divination. After a while, he would be able to enter the restriction in less than two years. As for why he would enter at such a coincidental time every hundred years, Yi Tian could not figure it out.
There was no sun or moon in the cave, but time continued to pass outside. In order to remind himself, Yi Tian took out the Sundial Luo Geng and the hourglass and placed them aside as markers.
Following that, he took out a few jade slips and checked all the astronomical phenomena that had occurred in the Central Plains over the past few hundred years. Shaoqing's brows gradually relaxed. According to the astronomical logs, every time the Bloodlust Demon Lord went to seek All-seer for divination, there would be a lunar eclipse within two years. If he connected the dots, this might be the opportunity to enter the restriction.
He thought to himself, Could this be the day when the passage opens? Yi Tian suddenly showed some hope. He picked up the jade slips and looked at the times of these lunar eclipses. He found that there would only be a total lunar eclipse once every hundred years. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was overjoyed. It seemed that this matter was taking shape.
However, he did not know what kind of phenomena would appear during the lunar eclipse that occurred once every hundred years. However, since he could find some clues, he might as well investigate further. Perhaps he really could find some clues. He then took out the Tianlan Continent's calendar jade slip and the Sundial Luo Geng. He then used his index finger to write down the times of these lunar eclipses on the ground to deduce the next lunar eclipse.
Two hours later, a knowing smile appeared on Yi Tian's face. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. This lunar eclipse was definitely related to the weakening of the restriction. However, he did not know what changes would occur to the stone wall in front of him.
Yi Tian sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes once more. There were still a few months before the lunar eclipse, so he might as well take this opportunity to prepare.
A few months passed in an instant. Yi Tian sat motionlessly in the cave until a certain night, when moonlight shone through the gap at the top of the mountain and directly onto the stone wall in front of him. At this moment, there was a fluctuation of spirit force, and a shadow appeared on the stone wall. However, there was a faint layer of light covering the shadow, so he could not see the situation inside.
