This time, Lou Xiaoyi went to the East Sea without using the Teleportation Formation. He was naturally uneasy about it. Even if it was only for a moment, the feeling of not being able to control himself made him uncomfortable. This was a feeling that every cultivator who had the desire to control would have, and he was not the only one.
This time, he was familiar with the road and did not bring the big-mouthed egret. He just used the Stellar Escape to travel straight. His speed was much faster than the last time. It only took him two months to get close to the East Sea.
However, this time, it was his personal business and he needed to keep it a secret. He could not swagger around like last time. Therefore, when he was a thousand miles away from the East Sea, he used the Spirit Convergence Technique that he had practiced to perfection. He also wore the straw hat given to him by the King of Weijian Mountain and became a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He mingled with the countless Foundation Establishment cultivators near the sea. To the huge East Sea coast, he was an invincible invasion.
He was familiar with the East Sea, but the first thing he needed to do was to complete the Nan Zhenren's order and meet the spy.
Lou Xiaoyi also considered whether he should act alone and not leave any traces. However, he quickly dismissed this idea. If he did not see the spy, it meant that he did not trust the Nan Zhenren. After being in Xuanyuan for so long, whether it was the Five Rings or Mount Yi, he really had no reason to not trust his own sect. This was the mark of time. He had now regarded himself as a real Swordsman.
Acting alone was a character, and trust was the cornerstone! There was no conflict!
This time, the name given by the Nan Zhenren was different from the last time. It was obviously more confidential. If the Nan Zhenren could trust him, how could he not trust him?
The meeting took him more than ten days. It was just a backup, a temporary place to stay if something happened.
He did not reveal his real purpose, and the Nan Zhenren did not ask. This was the basic common sense in a foreign land.
One day, a strange Taoist came to the Feng Shou Town outside the Thousand Chance Valley. He wore a straw hat and looked travel-worn.
Plentiful Harvest Town was the closest town to the Thousand Chance Valley for mortals. There were many market squares in the town, and most of them were medicinal pills. As the saying goes, 'Those who rely on the mountain eat the mountain, those who rely on the river eat the water'. What else could one eat when relying on the Thousand Chance Valley? Of course, it was medicinal pills, as well as anything related to alchemy, including all kinds of rare herbs and spirit plants.
The cultivation environment of the people of the East Sea was much stronger than that of the other provinces. The residents of the town were not surprised by the cultivators coming in and out of the town. Cultivators like Lou Xiaoyi, every day there would be dozens of them. They were all here to ask for pills, which made the business of Harvest Town, even in the mortal world, extremely prosperous.
Lou Xiaoyi stayed here for several days. On the surface, he went to the various shops every day to pick and choose, but in reality, his mind was not on these things. He was carefully inspecting the earth veins and making the final preparations for his next move.
A few days later, he left Plentiful Harvest Town and continued to advance towards the Thousand Chance Valley. At this time, he had to be very careful. The Thousand Chance Valley had been seized by the Five Elements Sect for several years, and it was in a period of time where there were many things waiting to be done. The surrounding people and forces who came to steal chickens and dogs had not completely stopped, and the defensive patrols were quite strict.
Lou Xiaoyi relied on his astonishing mental power to detect the arrival of cultivators in advance, so his journey could be considered smooth. However, this situation could not continue for more than ten li from the Thousand Chance Valley. The Five Elements Sect had recently set up a large alert formation here. Although it had not been set up for a long time and was still somewhat rough, Lou Xiaoyi did not want to take the risk.
He had a better way to enter!
He carefully laid down in a ditch outside the alert formation. After confirming that there were no traces of people in the surroundings, he took out the strange stone core and held it in his hand. He silently used the Earth Escape Technique, and his whole body gradually sank into the soil and disappeared.
The Earth Escape Technique was the most difficult of the Five Elements Escape Techniques.
The so-called Five Elements Escape Technique, in fact, did not completely refer to the Five Elements Escape Technique in the five different elements. Instead, it referred to the Five Elements Escape Technique in the surrounding environment. It was determined by the strength of the Five Elements Escape Technique in the surrounding environment. For example, in the forest, if the Wood Element Escape Technique was more advantageous. In the desert, if the Fire Element Escape Technique was more suitable.
The Fire Escape Technique did not completely refer to the Fire Escape Technique, but the Wood Escape Technique was to drill a hole in the wood. However, there were also unexpected situations, such as in the water, which was completely comparable to the Water Escape Technique. Another example was to drill into the soil!
Lou Xiaoyi's Five Elements Escape Technique was at best at the Small Success Stage. The extent of what he could do was very limited. In terms of Escape Technique, it could not replace his main Escape Technique, the Star Escape Technique. In battle, it could also not replace his set of Sword Technique. At most, it could be used as a supplement.
In terms of the Earth Escape Technique, purely relying on his own ability, he could only drill a few feet into the ground. This was under the condition that the soil was not too hard.
Although the Thousand Opportunities Valley was not big, it was still a few hundred miles long. If he wanted to reach the Wondrous Stone Pillar's location, even if he did not consider the obstructions along the way, with his turtle speed, he was afraid that it would take years! Because he was very shallow, it was also very easy to be detected.
However, if he had the help of the Wondrous Stone Core, everything would be different.
This thing could guide him to the softest path in the soil and greatly increase his Earth Escape Technique. It could also help him conceal his own spiritual opportunity. This was because in the Thousand Opportunities Valley, the Wondrous Stone was the real master. After being planted here for tens of thousands of years, the Wondrous Stone had already become one with the soil. Not only could it control the Thousand Opportunities Valley for several hundred miles, if it wanted to, it could even expand its influence to a thousand miles away.
This was the benefit that An Chaodong told him!
He did not come here to cause destruction! He did not have a cultivator target, nor did he have a geographical target. Destroying the Thousand Opportunities Valley and not being able to grow it was meaningless to him and Xuanyuan.
After hearing Old Man Huang's words, he understood a few things. Borrowing external objects was not shameful. Everyone was borrowing in different ways. You could not say that borrowing the natural environment, the mental state, or the stars, these illusory things were high-end. However, borrowing physical objects was shameful and vulgar, so the final result would be inferior to others.
No matter how you borrowed it or what you borrowed, as long as you achieved your goal, it was the same five elements! There was no such thing as me borrowing an object to comprehend the five elements compared to you comprehending the five elements overnight. They were all natural principles, and there was no difference between the two.
Just as An Chaodong told him, he came here to borrow the Wondrous Stone's five elements to enhance his understanding of the five elements. Blindly thinking about the five elements could not be understood. It was just an armchair strategist. Only by experiencing the changes of the five elements at a close distance could he truly understand the profound principles of the transformation of the five elements.
The Azure Sky Big World was a stable and balanced boundary. It had been a long time, so it was impossible for there to be any drastic changes for him to refer to. Under normal circumstances, cultivators could only spend time to understand the principles of the five elements through long periods of observation. The advantage of the Thousand Opportunities Valley was that the old fox An Chaodong had destroyed thirty percent of the Thousand Opportunities Valley's five elements. To repair it, it had to be operated, and during the operation, the rare secrets of the five elements would be revealed!
