Guo Zhen did not panic when the people on the same boat disappeared without a sign. Instead, he calmly observed the inside and outside of the boat. He saw that there was nothing unusual inside or outside, and it seemed to be no different from before.
He also realized that although Sun Chi had disappeared, the Clear Sky Qi that he used to control still existed and disappeared along with it. This meant that the Clear Sky Qi was not useless, but Sun Chi had neglected something.
With this judgment, he knew what was going on.
He waved his hand and calmly collected the Clear Sky Qi that Sun Chi left behind. He got off the boat and slowly retreated.
Since Xuanting said that he had to pay attention to protecting himself, he naturally chose to protect himself. He would not risk doing anything else, not to mention that Sun Chi's whereabouts were unknown. What he had to do was to bring this news back to prevent other Xuan Zun who came here from suffering the same thing.
The boat retreated very steadily. In the void, its trajectory was like drawing a straight line. Its speed did not increase or decrease at all.
At this moment, Ying Chong was sitting in the palace. Through the collision of the golden sand, he could see that Guo Zhen was slowly retreating. He was originally prepared to expel Guo Zhen from the palace as well, which was why he kept sending more golden sand to surround Guo Zhen.
However, this person was too steady, and he couldn't find a single flaw. Even if he intentionally showed weakness, the other party turned a blind eye to it. Faced with such a situation, he was also helpless and could only watch as the other party left.
He turned to look at the Void Star Atlas on the wall of the palace. There were spots of light on it that were approaching Lie Guang. Each spot represented a Tianxia Xuan Zun.
He controlled this movement through the Evil God. With this kind of monitoring, in addition to the Evil God's continuous probing, he could roughly know the strength of each enemy. He knew where he needed to deal with first and where he needed to slow down a little. From there, he could make a reasonable deployment.
However, as he was watching, suddenly, a few of the spots of light on the map disappeared. After one or two breaths, all the spots of light disappeared together.
He looked at the boy in white and asked, "What's going on?"
The boy in white was confused for a moment before he said, "They can't see anything, just like the two people just now."
Ying Chong's expression turned serious. He said, "Is it the Clear Sky Qi again?"
Just now, after Guo Zhen and Sun Chi used the Clear Sky Qi, the Evil God could not see them. It was not until the two of them entered the golden sand that he found their whereabouts again.
From the current situation, it seemed that all Tianxia Xuan Zun had the Clear Sky Qi in their hands.
He thought to himself, "Giving everyone the Clear Sky Qi, how generous. It seems like the Tianxia Xuan Zun is determined to win this time. Forget it, if I'm outside the golden sand, he won't be able to find me. If he enters, with the help of the golden sand, I can also detect his movements."
After Guo Zhen left the range of the Golden Sand Shield, he felt that the Clear Sky Qi surrounding him was no longer consumed. However, he did not stop because of this. He continued to move outwards until he retreated to the place where he first obtained the Clear Sky Qi. Only then did he recite the incantation in his heart, trying to summon Yuandu Xuantu.
After a short while, he saw an oval-shaped shadow above him. As the golden light fell, he and the boat were transported back.
When he stood still again, he found that he had returned to the upper level. Under his feet was an altar that was above the sea of clouds.
Lin Tingzhi, Daoist Zhan Kong, Dai Gonghan, and Zhangsun Qian were standing here.
Guo Zhen cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Four Court Deacons. Greetings, Daoist Zhan Kong."
After Lin Tingzhi returned the greeting, he asked solemnly, "Xuan Zun, what happened to you? Where is Sun Xuanzun? Where are the Xuanxiu disciples? "
Guo Zhen slowly told him the truth about what happened just now.
After listening to him, Lin Tingzhi looked pensive. He waved his hand, and the planetary boat that Guo Zhen and Sun Chi were on just now was moved over. Then, he carefully inspected it.
Soon, he discovered that there were countless objects that were as tiny as specks of dust passing through the planetary boat. However, because these objects were too tiny, they passed through the gaps of the various energies that formed the planetary boat. Therefore, they did not cause any damage to the flying boat, nor did they leave any traces behind.
However, as the person with the best skill in the field of Xuanting's sacrificial offerings, he still found some clues from the flow of energy of the planetary boat.
He said, "Only a Dao Guarding Treasure can subdue Xuan Zun so easily and dissipate the Clear Sky Energy. This should be the Dao Guarding Treasure in You City that Chen Tingzhi mentioned. I think Sun Xuanzun was careless and careless, and that was why he was taken advantage of by this object."
The Clear Sky Energy could shield the golden specks of dust, but they were extremely tiny and pervasive. As long as one of them penetrated the shield, it would isolate the target from the outside world. Sun Chi's cultivation base was not bad, but the Clear Sky Energy was not so easy to control. It was very difficult for him to circulate the Clear Sky Energy as he wished. As a result, there were loopholes in the shield.
At this moment, Dai Gonghan looked at Zhangsun Qian and said, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, can you tell what happened to Sun Xuanzun?"
Zhangsun Qian replied, "Sun Xuanzun is still alive, but he is no longer in this world."
Lin Tingzhi nodded and said, "From the looks of it, this object is a world-expelling artifact."
Dai Gonghan said, "Can you bring him back?"
Zhangsun Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, when Sun Xuanzun was expelled, his body carried a trace of the Clear Sky Energy. If I guide him with my Qi, I can bring him back. However, I can't be sure when he will return. It could be in a few years, or more than ten years, or even longer."
Dai Gonghan asked again, "Then what about those disciples? Can they be brought back? "
Zhangsun Qian did not answer.
Dai Gonghan sighed slightly.
Lin Tingzhi said, "I'll have to trouble Zhangsun Tingzhi with this matter. Try your best to bring those disciples back." He turned his head and said to Dai Gonghan, "Now, we need to inform our fellow Daoists in the Void to be careful of this object. If they are not confident, they should retreat first to protect themselves."
Dai Gonghan agreed and summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang to spread the message.
In order to facilitate communication, even the True Cultivator Xuan Zun was accompanied by Xuanxiu disciples. Therefore, his message was quickly passed to all Xuan Zun.
In order to prevent future generations from making mistakes, he not only told everyone about Sun Chi's disappearance, but also told everyone how to guard against it. If they were not confident, they should not go deeper.
In the Void, Daoist Zhengqing stood in the main cabin with his sleeves behind his back. He was steering the flying boat towards the location of the intense light.
His skills and knowledge were not comparable to those of his peers. After noticing the intense light, he immediately understood the changes in it. He knew that this was the best opportunity to find Shangchen. Therefore, before Xuanting's order was passed down, he had already taken the initiative to search for it.
At this moment, a Xuanxiu disciple walked up from behind and bowed, "Two Venerable Ones, Xuanting's message has arrived."
Wei Yi said, "Read it."
The disciple immediately summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang and repeated Dai Gonghan's message.
When Wei Yi heard that there might be You City's treasure guarding the front, he frowned and turned his head, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, we have to guard against this thing."
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Since Xuanting gave us the Qi of Clear Sky as protection, he would not want us to stay still. There is no need to worry too much about this. I think that the reason why Sun Xuanzun fell into the trap was because he did not protect it well enough. If we are careful, we will not be disturbed and can continue forward. "
Wei Yi said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother is right. This is a rare opportunity. We cannot miss it."
Daoist Zheng Qing shook his head and said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, even though you can control the Qi of Clear Sky with your abilities, it'll be difficult for you to do it perfectly. You should stay here for the time being. I'll go in alone. Be careful. If the time permits, you can also find a gap to enter."
Wei Yi was a little reluctant, but he also knew that his cultivation was far inferior to his Senior Apprentice-Brother. If he broke in with him, he might not be of help but be a burden. He could only say, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, I will listen to your arrangement."
Daoist Zhengqing nodded and then stepped out of the flying boat. A layer of clear light appeared on his body. After a while, he rushed into the thick shield like a shooting star.
At almost the same time, on the other side of the void, Zhang Yu also approached the area of protection. He had also received Xuan Ting's message, so he wasn't in a hurry to move forward. Instead, his eyes flickered, and he used his eye imprint to look ahead. However, he quickly discovered something strange.
He could not see the existence of the golden sand, but he could see that there seemed to be countless tiny dust-like holes in the void. These holes were densely packed and could be said to be uncountable.
After thinking for a while, he also walked out of the flying boat. Instead, he summoned the Qi of Clear Sky and surrounded his body.
At the same time, he cast the escape light and rushed into the shield.
As soon as he entered the room, he could feel countless tiny objects approaching his body. In his senses, it was as if he was being pricked by countless needles. When the needles landed on the Clear Sky Qi shield, they were like fine raindrops falling on a calm lake, causing countless tiny ripples.
Not only that, he felt that the deeper he went, the greater the obstacles he encountered, as if he had fallen into a swamp. In the process, he could feel that the Qi of Clear Sky on his body was gradually dissipating.
He judged that if this continued, the Qi of Clear Sky he brought this time would be exhausted in advance before he reached the gap of the fierce light. Because all sides were surrounded by such things, he was afraid that the subsequent transmission of Qi of Clear Sky would be delayed. Once the transmission of Qi of Clear Sky was cut off, he would not be able to maintain it. Then, he would probably suffer the same fate as Sun Chi.
So, should he retreat now?
He thought for a while and decided to continue forward. Because he found that these tiny particles seemed to be everywhere in all directions, but in fact, there were sparse and dense distribution. As long as he chose to pass through those weak areas, not only could he reduce the consumption, but he could also continue to receive more Qi of Clear Sky.
After making up his mind, there was a divine light in his eyes. After looking for a while, his body flashed and a bright starlight had already shuttled through the millions of tiny golden sand.
