Su Ao was currently heading toward the inner layer through the passage between the two worlds.
When passing through this passage, cultivators with low cultivation levels would only feel like they had arrived on the other side in a trance. However, this was actually caused by their consciousness and thoughts being stagnant after entering this passage.
However, as a Xuan Zun, he could clearly feel this passage.
At this moment, although he maintained a relaxed smile on his face, he was extremely vigilant in his heart.
Even with Shangchen's help, it would only take him one to two days to pass through from the lower layer to the inner layer. However, this time was still too long for him.
He really did not want to see the other end of the passage blocked by Tianxia when he left.
Putting aside Tianxia, because the passage was opened by EsGod, there was a possibility of conflict with EsGod. These were all troublesome.
In fact, these things could be solved slowly, but Xuntian Dao Zhang's appearance forced them to act in advance. This was because if they acted a little later, it was hard to say if there would be any accidents that would happen to their plan of more than a hundred years.
At this moment, the front suddenly lit up. He circulated his magic power around his body and stepped outside. What appeared in front of him was a dry valley. As far as his eyes could see, there were only exposed rocks in the distance and a river bank full of gravel.
Here, he did not see Tianxia Xuanzun, nor did he see EsGod, who should have been here. He guessed that the former had not found this place yet, and the latter should have left after sensing the changes in the passage between the two worlds. After all, some rational EsGod would not rashly face a powerful and unknown danger.
This was good news for him.
At this moment, he looked up. Only by entering the inner layer could he go to the upper layer.
He did not leave Tianxia with that almighty back then. Instead, he was one of the few people who had achieved Xuan Zun in You City, and it had only been forty years since he had achieved his Dao.
Therefore, he had never been to the inner layer before. At this moment, he felt a wave of relief because there was no Outer Void Evil here. Moreover, the circulation of his mana was much smoother.
He even had the intention to sit down and regulate his breathing, but he knew that this wasn't appropriate. The most important thing now was to enter the depths of the land and hide. He had to find a way to avoid the Xuanting's search and annihilation. Then, he would wait for an opportunity to reestablish contact with You City and find a way to bring more fellow Daoists here.
He waved his sleeve, and a letter flew out. The letter flew in a circle and asked curiously, "Xuan Zun Su, have we reached the inner layer?"
"That's right," Su Ke said, "This is the inner layer. You can send a message to Jin Xuan Zun."
The letter said, "This lowly one accepts the order." Its body emitted light and flickered twice in a row. After a while, it flickered twice again. It said, "Xuan Zun Su, Jin Xuan Zun Su should already know."
Su Ke agreed. He waved his sleeve, and the letter went in obediently. Then, it identified a direction and turned into a sparkling rainbow light. It flickered between heaven and earth and disappeared without a trace.
On the other side, a cloud of light appeared in the sky. Following the descent of a magnificent clear light, Zhang Yu had already passed through the upper layer.
He looked around and realized that he had appeared in the sky above an undulating hill.
Logically speaking, one could go to the lower layer or even the outer layer by passing through the upper layer to another layer. Xuanting occupied the upper layer. Not only did they obtain substantial benefits, but they also had an absolute advantage in terms of strategy.
However, in reality, it was usually only within the Tianxia Continent that one could accurately grasp the location. Outside the Thirteen Continents, because the Turbid Tide was relatively dense, there would often be some deviation.
Similarly, due to the influence of the Turbid Tide, ordinary cultivators would not be able to tell where they were when they landed outside the realm. However, Xuan Zun was different. At this level, once he identified a certain layer, as long as there was no restriction covering it, he could sense it even if he had never been there before.
However, this time, he was looking for three layers, and it would take too long to search through them one by one. Therefore, he changed his mind. In a flash of starlight, the Mysterious Cicada flapped its wings and flew out. It flew toward one of the layers, while he himself flew toward the other layer.
If the Mysterious Cicada found something, he could immediately turn around. If he found something in both areas, he would immediately inform Xuanting and let Xuanting send someone else to deal with it.
He followed his senses and flew for less than half an hour before he arrived at one of the suspicious layers. However, when he looked around, he realized that this was just a huge ruin that had survived from an unknown era.
This ruin was relatively intact, and there was a tower-like building in the center of the city. There was a shining gem on it, reflecting a magnificent and dazzling light under the direct sunlight.
He could sense that the gemstone had a huge amount of spiritual divine power. It was like a living thing, emitting rings of deterrence. It seemed that it was because of the existence of this thing that the city was able to remain in good condition.
If it was any other time, he might have stayed to take a look, but he did not have time to waste here. After memorizing this place, he turned into a huge ray of clear light and flew toward the third target.
After another half an hour, he saw a crack in the distance. There was also an EsGod that had just been awakened. This EsGod's divine power and spirituality were like a lake embedded in the ground. The divine power and spiritual light caused the night sky to be dyed with a rainbow light.
This EsGod was trying to summon his God's descendants and believers from the crack, but the reaction of the crack was very weak. Clearly, this was not a place that the external forces could pass through.
Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about whether to kill him, he sensed something in his heart. The Mysterious Cicada seemed to have discovered something.
Therefore, he threw down a guiding talisman and reported this matter to the Xuanting through Xuntian Dao Zhang. He glanced at EsGod and his body turned into countless stars and dissipated.
When he appeared again, he had already landed where the Mysterious Cicada was. Then, he saw a huge hole formed by a vortex of light mist not far ahead.
This was different from the crack he had seen earlier. This was a true portal between the two worlds.
He sensed for a moment and did not sense any strange auras around him. He did not know if any cultivators had passed by here before.
After looking at it for a moment, he tried to reach out and grab it, but he encountered a strong resistance and could not close it for a while. As expected, this passage between the two worlds also used the same magic artifact that supported the door.
He immediately reported the situation to the Xuanting through Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Then, he took out a palm-sized ancient stone cauldron from his sleeve. This was the "Mystic Origin Cauldron", a magic artifact used to detect the enemy's tracks.
With just a thought, a thin wisp of white smoke rose from the small stone cauldron. But after a while, this wisp of white smoke swayed, as if it had been attracted by something. It extended towards a certain direction, forming a long and winding smoke path that seemed to be intermittently broken.
Zhang Yu's mind moved slightly. From the reaction of this magic artifact, someone should have passed through the passage and left this place first.
However, there shouldn't be too many people, maybe only one. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only one smoke path, and it wouldn't only point in one direction.
This was also expected. The more people there were, the bigger the target, which was not conducive to hiding. Shangchen and You City cherished their lives very much. Even if they planned to launch a full-scale invasion, it was impossible for them to invest all their strength at the beginning.
However, although someone had already come out of this passage, it was hard to say if someone else would come here. Therefore, this passage had to be guarded.
After thinking for a moment, he urged the Mysterious Chaotic Cicada to follow this smoke path all the way down, while he sat cross-legged here with a wave of his sleeve.
After sitting there for about a day, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky. Then, a hole was melted, and a ray of light fell from inside. It quickly passed through him, and it made a sharp sound as it broke through the air. There was a long rainbow of light in the outside.
He raised his head and reached out his hand to grab the item.
He took it in front of his eyes and saw that it was a one-foot-long jade pillar. There were jade-green Daoist talismans flowing on it, flickering from time to time.
With a turn of his mind, he immediately knew that this was the magic artifact that Xuanting had refined to close the passage between the two worlds. He did not hesitate and immediately poured his heart force into it.
The jade pillar immediately trembled slightly, and streaks of lightning-like brilliance were produced. After the object was covered in wisps of white light, he threw it into the passage between the two worlds.
In an instant, the passage between the two worlds formed by the vortex of light and mist shook violently. It kept collapsing inwards, as if it was swallowing itself. After a few breaths, it suddenly shrank to an infinitely small point. With another flash, the passage completely disappeared.
He stood up. Since the passage had been closed, it was time for him to find that person.
Su Zhi was still flying towards the depths of the land, but at this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He reached out and picked up a jade pendant that he carried with him.
There was a layer of red on the jade pendant, and it showed signs of getting denser. This undoubtedly meant that danger was coming.
Although he did not feel anything in his heart at this moment, it did not mean that there was a problem. This was because this was the inner layer. Xuanting might have a way to hide from his senses. Even some Xuan Zun might have a way to hide from his senses. However, this item could clearly show signs of danger.
His thoughts turned, and he felt that it was very likely that the passage between the two worlds had been discovered by Xuanting.
He had not been there for long. If Xuanting's cultivators had discovered that place, then it was possible for them to trace it back to him.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He lifted his sleeve and saw a wisp of undetectable smoke staining his sleeve. This thing seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
His gaze focused, and he casually wiped it away, but then he seemed to have thought of something and said to himself, "Not good!"
