A day later, the white boat appeared in the sky above a mountain and floated there quietly.
Although the white boat was huge, it was inconspicuous in such a violent snowstorm. Moreover, the white boat was white and could be said to have completely blended into the world.
Zhang Yu looked down and saw that this mountain was where the Leyline Aperture was located. However, this area was quite vast and it would take a lot of effort to find where the other party might be hiding.
He said, "Bai Guo, check it out."
Bai Guo Jun said, "Yes, sir."
After a while, Zhang Yu felt a consciousness being transmitted to him by the white fruit, and in his eyes, a few areas became particularly conspicuous.
He raised his hand and tapped a few spots on the map. Those spots immediately lit up. He turned to Daoist Zuo and said, "Daoist Zuo, I'll have to trouble you to investigate these areas."
Priest Zuo glanced at him and said, "Just wait for a moment."
He waved his horsetail whisk and walked out. The cabin wall in front of him melted and revealed an exit.
He came out of the room and raised his head to take a look. He saw that the endless snowstorm had blocked out the sunlight. The world was dark, and he could only hear the rumbling sound of the storm.
He took a step out and walked out of the fluorescent protection of the flying boat. At the same time, the light of his heart expanded and blocked the wind and snow. The beard on his chest that was slightly ruffled by the wind quickly fell back down.
He identified the direction before descending into the murky earth below.
Zhang Yu had been waiting in the main cabin. After about half a summer's time, the cabin walls parted once again. Zuo Daoist's heart light gradually faded as he walked in from the outside. He said, "Fellow Zhang, I've searched all these places once, but I didn't find any traces of people. I only found a cave, and this place looks abandoned on the surface."
Zhang Yu said, "On the surface?"
Priest Zuo said, "We can't rule out the possibility that it's a trap. However, if we continued to investigate and if someone really landed here, it's very likely that this person would be alerted. Therefore, I came back first."
Zhang Yu asked, "Where is the cave?"
Zuo Daoist pointed at a certain spot on the map and said, "Here."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded. "I understand."
This matter was rather simple. He would know after using the Xuan Weapon Plow.
The place where a cultivator resided would definitely be set up outside. If there was a miraculous reaction from the Profound Weapon's explosion, then it meant that the person was here. Moreover, it was impossible for this person to sit still under the Profound Weapon's explosion.
If he wasn't here, then he would change to another realm. After a series of searches, he would eventually be able to find him.
With a thought, the cannons below the boat began to flicker with light. Then, several Xuan Weapons flickering with white light spun and shot downwards.
However, just as they were about to land on the cave, a huge formation suddenly appeared on the ground. Its light was enough to illuminate the sky. A bronze pillar rose from each of the four cardinal directions. As the pillars flickered with dense talismans, a light barrier appeared above.
The Xuan Weapons landed on the barrier. For a moment, several rays of light flickered. Then, an earth-shattering boom was heard. However, the violent force was blocked outside.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. He said, "Found it."
Priest Zuo took a few glances and exclaimed, "It's actually a formation that uses the power of the earth veins and the operation of the artifact. How extravagant!"
Zhang Yu said, "I'll have to trouble you to look after the rear."
Priest Zuo nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yu first poured a ray of his heart's light into the flying boat. Then, starlight flashed around him and he appeared outside the white boat.
He looked at the huge light barrier that was still stubbornly remaining there after the Xuan Weapons bombarded it. He pointed two of his fingers downwards. A ray of sword light streaked across the sky behind him, causing his sleeves to flutter. It shot out like a shooting star.
In just an instant, the sword light pierced a big hole in the light barrier that was trembling because of the Xuan Weapons. Then, he leaped up and instantly penetrated through the light barrier.
When he entered the light barrier, his eyes flickered slightly. He had already found a place to go.
His body descended to the ground, and after descending for a few breaths, his surroundings suddenly opened up, and he appeared in an underground cave.
When he looked up, there were three Daoists sitting in different positions. However, only the wrinkled skin on their faces was left. It was obvious that they were three Daoists.
When the three of them sensed Zhang Yu's arrival, they were not as stiff and numb as they looked on the surface. Instead, they raised their hands in unison, and the power of the light curtain above them instantly converged and pressed down on him!
Zhang Yu could see that this power could not be avoided. He stood where he was without moving. Heart's light suddenly rose from his body. At the same time, two pairs of brilliant starlight wings opened up on his back.
The power fell and pressed down on his body. For a moment, the cave shook. However, it was blocked by the flaming heart's light on his body. At the same time, he took out a sword technique. The Cicada Cry Sword flew out from behind him and circled around the cave.
The three Daoists sensed danger. They seemed to want to stand up and resist. However, their bodies only rose slightly before they fell back down and did not move.
After a while, the heads of the three people slid down from their necks. The power that was pressing down on them also dissipated.
Zhang Yu brushed away the remaining Qi in front of him and walked forward. The Cicada Cry Sword circled around and flew behind him again. He clasped his five fingers and held it.
He came to the center of the platform and saw a bronze pillar standing there. He could see that the Qi circulation of the earth veins in the surroundings was being guided to this place. There were many mysterious diagrams below it. It was obvious that this was the array pivot of the array diagram.
Due to the influence of the turbid tide in the inner layer, many True Cultivators' formations and formation diagrams could not be set up. Even if there were some important places, they could only use some magical instruments to defend.
However, in the outer layer, this influence did not exist. One only needed to carry a formation diagram and they could set up a stronger formation.
The light behind him landed. Daoist Zuo also appeared here.
He looked around and then looked at the bronze pillar. He waved his horsetail whisk and said, "It seems that I was right. This is indeed a formation that is set up using the veins of the earth. However, it does not seem to be used for defense. It seems to have other uses."
Zhang Yu asked, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, do you also know about formations?"
Daoist Zuo said, "I have some friendship with a few True Cultivators. I only know a little. Moreover, after decades of dealing with Shangchen cultivators, there are some things that you have to understand."
At this time, he frowned and said, "It's just that to set up such a big formation, I'm afraid it's bigger than the movement of the Divine Kingdom. Those flowing veins of the earth have been changed. The three Fellow Daoists in the station can't be completely unaware …"
Zhang Yu agreed with his opinion. This kind of arrangement of the earth veins was enough to affect the Earth Qi of the entire Earth Star. Even the blizzard could be affected by it.
However, it was hard to say why the garrison here did not notice such a big movement before.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, can you tell what this formation diagram is?"
Daoist Zuo shook his head and said, "Zuo Mou does not have this ability. However, Fellow Daoist Zhang may be able to copy this back and ask a Fellow Daoist who knows this Dao. Perhaps they will be able to tell what this is."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. His eyes flickered, and he immediately memorized everything. Then, he pointed with his finger, and the remains of the three Dao Pawns were instantly reduced to ashes.
At the same time, in a deep underground cave somewhere on Earth Star, a purplish-red mist that looked like liquid wriggled around the walls of the cave. It emitted a faint light, and a thick mist floated below.
On a stone platform in the middle of the mist, Daoist Ji sat cross-legged. A golden-copper hollow ball floated in his hand. As he breathed, the light in the center of the copper ball flickered.
Around him, there were more than twenty jade tablets floating up and down. At this moment, three of the jade tablets suddenly shattered. With a crash, the fragments scattered all over the ground.
Daoist Ji opened his eyes and took a few glances at the fragment. His gaze darkened for a moment.
He put away the copper ball, stood up, and walked out.
He had only taken a few steps when the mist below the wall of the cave fluttered, and then a ball of white light bloomed. He stopped and turned his head to look, and saw a Taoist sitting on a praying mat in the light.
One could see red-crowned cranes flying behind him. There were flowers and trees everywhere. Under the auspicious clouds, there were golden palaces and jade buildings. It looked like a heavenly paradise.
The Daoist looked at him and asked in concern, "Junior Brother Ji, I saw that Junior Brother Pan's life tablet has shattered. Did something happen on your side?"
Daoist Ji glanced at him and said, "I will take care of this matter. Senior Brother, you don't have to ask too much."
The Daoist narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Then, he chuckled and said, "I'm just reminding Junior Brother that you must not make any mistakes in the matter entrusted to you by the sect."
Daoist Ji said indifferently, "If Senior Brother only wants to say this, then there's no need to say anything else. The message stone given to you by the sect is not for you to waste."
After he finished speaking, he swung his sleeve. The mist instantly dispersed. The condensed white light also disappeared. Then, he did not look at it anymore. He turned around and walked out.
After Zhang Yu and Daoist Zuo came out of the underground cave, they returned to the white boat.
Although they destroyed a Shangchen cultivator's encampment, they did not find the other Daoist who commanded the Dao soldiers to attack them. Therefore, that person must have another hiding place.
Zhang Yu walked in front of the map. There were a few Earth Vein nodes on it. However, after looking at it for a while, his gaze focused on a boundary near the southernmost part of the Earth Star.
He had a feeling that this person was here.
This feeling came inexplicably. However, he knew that this was the effect of the Divine Instinct Seal.
As long as the enemy established a certain connection with him, he would be able to sense it when he fought with them in the future. The deeper the connection, the stronger the connection.
It seemed that the few Dao soldiers that he killed just now were most likely left behind by this person.
After he came to this conclusion, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately activated the flying boat and rushed towards this boundary at full speed.
