The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

The spatial node where the Devouring Demon Ancestor was holding the formation was right in the center of the Ten Thousand Flowers Mountains and the Bloodstone Mountains, so it was definitely not on the way. But Baohua was considerate, and when she heard Xuyang's urging words, although she didn't know why Xuyang was so anxious, she didn't ask any questions. She actually took Xuyang and the other two directly, and spent half a day to a desolate stretch of black mountains in the Bloodstone Mountains. And in Xuyang's weird smile and Yuansha's puzzled eyes, she casually pinched a few spells and started to fight.

As a result, the unknown black mountain below suddenly shook, and a loud roar like that of an ox or a dragon was heard. After a while, the black mountain that seemed unsuitable for cultivation and could be seen everywhere in the Demon Realm slowly cracked open, and countless evil runes rolled in the depths. However, the huge spiritual fluctuations were completely covered up by this unknown black stone, and not a single bit leaked out.

It was more than ten thousand years ago that Baohua fled to another world. Obviously, this was a secret plan she had set up before she was driven off the position of the ancestor.

Yuansha's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered. As Baohua's most trusted right-hand man, she actually didn't know about this place!
Moreover, this place is only half a day's walk away from the Devouring Demon Ancestor's base, which is a great achievement!

"It's very similar to the black stone that isolated spiritual energy and divine consciousness in the human world, but it seems to be of a higher level. After I swept my divine sense over it, I just felt that I swept into empty space. If it weren't for the jade pendant, even my divine sense wouldn't be able to find this place. It turns out that Baohua's occupation of the position of ancestor for hundreds of thousands of years was not for nothing." Xuyang's eyes flashed with stars, and his sight immediately penetrated the layers of evil runes that were rolling like the sea and looked into the depths.

Three hundred and sixty million miles of search: Cloud Hidden Spirit Turtle in the late stage of fusion
I saw a sturdy old man with a strange tortoise shell on his back disappearing in the depths of the evil spirit. The tortoise shell was gleaming with a pale yellowish-white spiritual light, and six yin-yang hexagrams were distributed on its six bone plates, three yin and three yang.
The old man in tortoise shell first cautiously held several magic weapons with amazing magic light, looking outside with strange eyes. When he saw Yuansha and Xuyang, the strange strong man, his face suddenly changed drastically. He stopped and tried to escape into the mountain like a frightened rabbit.

But the next moment, when he saw Baohua's face clearly, he couldn't believe it at first, but after repeatedly tapping the tortoise shell on his back, he didn't know how he used it, but he confirmed that Baohua outside was not a great master who was good at illusion and was using magic to deceive. He was immediately excited and happy, and without hesitation, a square flag appeared in his hand and he waved it, directly breaking through the layers of evil spirits and rushing out. He knelt down in the void in front of Baohua with a plop, and bowed with tears in his eyes:

"Woo woo, I, Yun Yao, pay my respects to the great ancestor! You are finally back, and I know that you must be blessed with great fortune! It is not like what those traitors and villains said, that you will fall into another world easily. Over the years, I have been following your teachings and guarding the Yunyin Land without going out for a moment. I only use the spirit turtle divination technique to guide treasure hunters who come here unintentionally to learn about the outside world. God has mercy on me, the moment I have been looking forward to day and night has finally come, not only are you safe, but your demeanor is even better than before!"

Yuan Sha immediately showed a bitter smile. The old man's true feelings were revealed, and he scolded her without any hesitation. She was exactly the despicable person that the old man mentioned!

Baohua also showed a friendly look for the first time in Xuyang's memory. She raised her white hand, and a pure pink spiritual light rolled up, holding the old man up, and said with emotion: "Good! Good! After tens of thousands of years, your cultivation and divination skills are no less than your ancestor 'Yunyin'. I am very pleased!"

"Your Excellency, First Ancestor, you are too kind! How dare I claim to be better than you? At most, I have half of your magical powers, and that is already a credit to you because of your blessing!"

The old man stood up and bowed deeply to Xuyang meticulously. He glanced at Yuansha obscurely, ignoring Yuansha's increasingly embarrassed expression and deliberately ignored him. He raised his head and asked solemnly, "My lord, what do you want me to do for you?"

Baohua nodded calmly and said in a slow voice: "I am in a hurry on this trip, so I can't say too much to you. After I succeed in this trip, I will take you with me and teach you all the skills of Yunyin. Let me ask you, are the three ancient teleportation arrays below still usable?"

Perhaps in the old man's eyes, being cultivated by Baohua and dying for Baohua was a matter of course, so he did not show his joy at Baohua's promise. Instead, his face tightened and he answered in a deep voice without any hesitation:
“The teleportation array leading to the Fantasy Howling Desert had unusual movements not long after the lord broke through the boundary and left. The other side did not use the Cloud Hidden Token to open it. I immediately cut off the spatial connection with that place and completely destroyed the corresponding teleportation array here to prevent the other side from calculating here and ruining the lord’s plan.

As for the other two teleportation arrays, probably because the array set up on the opposite side was also covered with Shen Nian Stone, there has been no abnormal movement over the years. Ten thousand years ago, there were not enough magic stones to open it for a long time, so my subordinates could only temporarily close it. Now, every hundred years, they will be opened for half a quarter of an hour for inspection. Now they can be activated at any time, but..."

The old man stopped talking here and looked at Yuansha with undisguised suspicion and vigilance.

Baohua saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, waved her hand and said coldly: "No need to do this, she has returned to my sect with a guilty body, then we will open the teleportation array to the Demon Valley, you stay here and wait for us, and when we return, we will set off together to another teleportation array. I will also need your divination skills to help calculate the location of the incarnation of Liuji!"

Demon Suppression Valley? Could it be related to the Demon Suppression Lock?
Xuyang raised his eyebrows upon hearing that, and nodded secretly with satisfaction. Baohua was able to prioritize his affairs over Liuji, which showed that she was a person who could keep her composure.

"I will not refuse even if death is the cost. Please follow me!" The old man responded and turned around to fly downwards first. Xuyang and the other two followed slowly.

After twists and turns in the rolling evil spirit, they soon came to a large formation full of ancient and wild atmosphere. Xuyang took a quick look with his divine sense and immediately concluded that this teleportation formation was definitely related to the fairyland of the past, because there were actually trace amounts of Void Divine Crystals inlaid in the four corners of the formation. However, the number was very small, and the total amount of the four corners was not even one-tenth of what he got in the Small Shura World. It was not worth it for him to dismantle the formation to take the treasure.

After the old man activated the ancient teleportation array, Xuyang felt dark walls appearing all around him. He quickly retreated for a few breaths in the distortion and blur, and the three of them appeared in a dark cave. The spiritual pattern array under their feet was not like the cross-continental teleportation array in the spiritual world that emitted a beam of light that reached the sky when it was activated. The teleportation array under their feet, even in the activated teleportation state, emitted a faint black light that only spread to a few feet high. It was incredibly secretive!

Retrieved: Seventh-grade Xiantian Immortal Artifact--Yin Yang Qian Kun Lock (incomplete)

Retrieved: Xuantian spiritual objects Ziyan Ding, Seven-Colored Tower (made from the ninth-grade Xuantian incomplete treasure). Xuyang realized that the bloodlight's lair was at the edge of the search range. He was certain at first, then he looked around in surprise, and became more and more certain that the teleportation array under his feet came from the True Immortal Realm. Perhaps it was because of the Void Divine Crystal inlaid in it. During the teleportation process, it actually opened up a temporary space channel and spontaneously gushed out space power to protect the teleporter. Moreover, as long as the teleporter's mind is very strong, there is no feeling of dizziness in the process, and he can see the scenery in the space channel clearly!

The most important thing is that Xuyang carries the Mother Qi Cave Heaven with him, and he has had no chance to use the teleportation array in the past. Ordinary teleportation arrays simply do not have the power to project such a huge space as the Mother Qi Cave Heaven, along with himself.

This is far from comparable to the teleportation arrays built by the big clans in the spiritual world.

Before Xuyang went to the Small Shura Realm, he had already tested it in Wutong Villa. The teleportation array leading to Tianyuan City built by the human and demon races in the villa was only able to make a buzzing sound for a while before several cracks appeared, even if the top-grade spirit stones inlaid in it had all exhausted their spiritual power and turned into gray-white powder. It directly collapsed the teleportation array on this side, causing Mo Jianli to feel heartbroken. Repairing this cross-border teleportation array required countless space spirit objects, which was not enough even with the strength of one clan.

Little did they know that in the Hidden Cloud Land that they had just left, the old man with tortoise shell was looking at the vast amount of top-grade magic stones inlaid around the formation, all of which became dim and dull. He could not help but want to cry but had no tears, and muttered to himself:

"Master Ancestor has taken this boat dozens of times before, and nothing like this has ever happened. One teleportation is equivalent to the total amount of magic stones consumed in the previous million years! Now that Master Ancestor and his men have finished their business, they can't teleport back from the Demon Suppression Valley! Don't let them miss the important event! Is that Master?"

The image of the noble young man in a red robe and a star belt flashed through the old man's mind. Even his own ancestor vaguely regarded him as his superior and was willing to lag behind half a step. It was obvious that he was no ordinary person. The old man knew very well what Yuansha's magical powers were, and Baohua was even more aware of the taboos of the teleportation array. The abnormal consumption could only come from that adult!
After thinking for a moment, the old man hurriedly and carefully took out a piece of damaged white tortoise shell. The spiritual light on the tortoise shell was even more condensed and thicker than the old man's own tortoise shell. The old man stroked the tortoise shell, a trace of reminiscence flashed across his face, and then he gritted his teeth and spit out several mouthfuls of blood at it, muttering something in his mouth, until he saw it turned into spiritual light out of thin air in a dazzling light, and seemed to disappear into the void, then he breathed a sigh of relief with a look of pain on his face.

On the other hand, Baohua noticed Xuyang's admiring expression and did not keep him in suspense, but explained directly:
“These teleportation arrays were not built by me, but they already existed millions of years ago when the spirit and turbidity were not yet separated. That’s why they are called the Demon Suppression Valley in the Saint Realm. The Demon Suppression Valley is where the Demon Suppression Lock, a Xuantian treasure, is nurtured. Hundreds of millions of miles outside the valley is the Shenxue Lake where the Demon Cauldron Master is. Oh, by the way, Xueguang is the Demon Cauldron. He was an important incarnation of the Demon Cauldron Master before. After he developed self-awareness, he inherited most of the treasures of the original owner. Although his cultivation is only in the middle stage of the Mahayana, relying on several Xuantian remnant treasures, no one has been willing to provoke him for nearly 100,000 years.

The original cultivation level of Demon Cauldron Immortal was close to the final stage of the tribulation period, but in the end he lost the confidence to face the real demon tribulation. It seemed that he practiced a forbidden technique that has been passed down in the holy world for many years, 'The Great Technique of Splitting Yuan and Beheading Corpses', which divided his divine consciousness and true essence into three. The incarnations after the split were different from ordinary incarnations. Each one had an independent mind, and each one could be said to be the original body of the caster, with no absolute distinction between primary and secondary. Moreover, each subsequent separate incarnation could continue to practice this forbidden technique and continue to split itself. According to legend, it can split into a total of eighty-one!
However, the strength and power of the individual after the split depends entirely on the amount of divine consciousness carried during the split. And because each incarnation has an independent mind, it is hard to say whether it is a supreme technique or an evil technique that becomes weaker and weaker with more flaws as it is practiced! Most practitioners who cultivate incarnations are most worried about the incarnation giving birth to an independent mind. Therefore, although this forbidden technique has been circulated in the Saint Realm for a long time, few Saint Ancestors dare to really practice it, and most of them just use it as a reference.

After practicing this technique, Demon Cauldron Master not only changed his name to Blood Light, but also, apart from Blood Light who is still active in the Saint Realm, the other two incarnations are nowhere to be found. This shows that this technique is indeed not suitable for practice."

Xuyang smiled indifferently and said casually: "I am only interested in the Demon Suppression Lock, a mysterious treasure that contains the chaotic yin and yang energy. The other remaining treasures are useless to me. You can take them later and keep them as the core of the formation to deal with the Mother of the Stem Borer!"

Yuan Sha couldn't help but show a complicated expression when he saw Xuyang's disdain for the Zi Yan Ding, which was coveted by everyone in the Holy Realm.

Her original body had gone through untold hardships to obtain a remnant of Xuantian treasure, and compared with the power of famous treasures such as the Purple Words Cauldron and the Seven-Colored Tower, her treasure was not even half as powerful as the others. Yet, she still managed to rank among the top three among the rising saints of the demon world.

Seeing Xuyang so sure that the blood and his many treasures were there, Baohua was stunned at first. Fortunately, she was already accustomed to Xuyang's omnipotent magical powers. She reached out her hand to stroke the black hair on her shoulders and thanked him calmly.

"The Purple Words Cauldron and the Seven-Colored Tower! These two special treasures are indeed suitable as the center of the formation to set up the ancient prohibition. I would like to thank you first!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang smiled and said calmly, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I won't give it to you for free. According to what the Yunyin Turtle said just now, there are two pairs of teleportation arrays under our feet. That means there are four formations in total. How about exchanging these teleportation arrays?"

Baohua's beautiful eyes moved, and her face showed surprise, but she didn't show any regret. She flipped her hands, took out an ancient jade slip and handed it over, saying calmly:

"Since you need it, even if I don't have the two pieces of Xuantian treasures, there is no reason for me to refuse. Although these teleportation arrays can save me some walking time in the past, they consume a lot of magic stones. I think they will be of no use after I kill the mother of borers in the future. I have studied these ancient teleportation arrays for hundreds of years and have understood the void teleportation methods contained in these arrays. I have used them to enrich the construction of the Xuantian Flower Realm, which is a great harvest. These are some of my insights at the time. Please accept them."

Xuyang smiled and naturally would not be polite with her. He directly sucked the jade slip into his hand and put it on his forehead. After a cup of tea, he let out a long breath with a look of joy, urged his magic power, and directly transformed a red hand, which cut off the entire formation and put it into the cave. Then he said happily: "Yes, your insights are quite deep, and they are also of great use to me! Let's go! Let's meet the blood light!" (End of this chapter)
