In the wilderness, even immortals cannot use their magic power and will completely become ordinary mortals. This is also true in the desert.

No one knows why this is happening, and no one knows how it happened.

However, everything has its pros and cons, and there are gains and losses. Although the wilderness and the desert are desolate, they are not disturbed by monsters because of this unique environment.

"People who have plans and are able to move will generally go to Fengyang City, even if they live in a gathering place. But if it's too far from Fengyang City, they will generally go to the desert." Xiao Ying had just shut up for a while, but after Ming Ruo said something, she became lively again and continued:

"But the desert is too desolate. Apart from those who have lived there since the beginning, almost no one will stay there."

Ying nodded secretly. It took them a long time to travel from Linyuan City to Fengyang City, and they saw many monsters. Although the ordinary villages and cities in this world may not be safe, they are much more stable than the wild. People who can travel far to the desert probably don't need to worry about the threat of monsters.

"Oh, and in the past when there were immortals in the desert, I heard that a group of bandits somehow managed to cast spells there. But they didn't know who they had offended, or maybe they had an internal conflict. One night, the leader died, and then chaos broke out. Not long after, the group of bandits disappeared."

"So, the desert is relatively stable now?" Ying asked.

"Of course not. If a place with few people living in it is still unstable, then there will be no place to settle down." Xiao Ying smiled, turned around and saw Ming Ruo looking at her straight, and quickly covered her mouth again.

This scene made Ying feel a little funny. This was only her second time meeting Mingruo and she couldn't tell what kind of person Mingruo was. The most she knew from Yun Guijun was that she was a "smart" and "high-handed" person. But now, seeing the interaction between the island master and her guards, Ying felt that Mingruo was quite easy-going.

"Let's talk about the Great Wilderness later. I have a general understanding of Hei Lingyue's situation. I will make preparations later and go to meet Taoist Mingyang with Taoist Fellow Ying."

Ying nodded and agreed happily.

Ming Ruo's preparations did not take up much time. About half an hour later, the island master condensed a formation in his palm, and a crystal jade phantom quickly took shape.

The island owner also changed her attire. The mask on her face remained unchanged, but she wore a plain robe with a bright yellow belt around her waist. When the breeze blew, the robe fluttered, revealing her slender white feet. Only then did Ying notice that Mingruo also wore a purple-gold anklet on her ankle with a transparent crystal on the chain.

"Being eroded by evil spirits is no small matter. Even I have to be fully prepared." Ming Ruo said with a smile, while handing the phantom of the jade in his hand to Ying.

"After this formation is activated, it can reproduce half of the power of the Sea Edge Stone, but it can only last for one hour."

"I'm going too! I'm going too!" Xiao Ying ran over with a smile on her face, the brush in her hand spinning non-stop.

"Xiao Ying, stop." Ming Ruo gave the order, and Xiao Ying immediately stopped smiling and stood where she was.

"You stay here to look after my Dao Ming Jade. If you find anything unusual, use the Dao Ming Jade to send me magic power. This is the task I have given you. You must complete it properly."

"Got it!" Xiao Ying nodded immediately, then smiled again and walked briskly back to the hall.

This interaction was not only funny to Ying, but also to Guiyan and Gu Ling.

"She seems like a loyal dog." Ying commented on Xiao Ying in her heart. Although she heard that she was very powerful, after seeing her like this, she felt that Xiao Ying was just like an innocent girl, and she couldn't help but feel close to her.

Not long after, Ying and Gu Ling, led by Mingruo, boarded a small fairy boat and flew towards the open sea. Although Guiyan also wanted to go, she knew that she was not strong enough and had no means to resist the evil spirit, so she had to stay on the island.

"Master, I have cultivated the Tianhe Immortal Technique to the fifth level."

"Fifth Heaven?!" Ling Yue was surprised, and couldn't help but wonder, "So fast?"

"The fifth level is indeed good," Qu Lan looked at the two of them with a puzzled look in her eyes, "but as Ling Yue's apprentice, it's still a little slow, but there's no need to rush, just take your time."

"It's already fast enough," Ling Yue said, "It's been less than half a year since she started practicing."

"……What?!"

This time, it was Qu Lan's turn to be surprised.

……

On the other side, Ying and Gu Ling followed Mingruo to the most remote island outside Tianya Island.

Although it was remote, Ying felt a surge of energy sweeping through her body as soon as she landed. The feeling was uncomfortable and made her frown.

Gu Ling's reaction was greater than Ying's. As soon as Ying noticed it, Gu Ling screamed. The magic power in her body was out of control and it even felt like it was about to rush out of her body.

This feeling is not strong, but it is extremely terrifying for cultivators. It is often a manifestation of a conflict of magic power. If it is not stopped, the mortal cultivator will explode and die, and the cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm will also lose his mind due to possession. Gu Ling suddenly became panicked.

At this moment, Ming Ruo made a move and tapped Gu Ling's small body a few times, and soon the magic power in Gu Ling's body returned to normal.

"Don't worry, this is caused by the formation. It won't be fatal. It's just a warning." Ming Ruo said, and then she looked at Ying.

"It is to prevent those playful monks from mistakenly entering the outer sea. Fellow Daoist Ying is really extraordinary. He is not affected at all."

"Because I'm not using magic power, your formation is ineffective against me." Ying looked around and asked, "But I think it's quite peaceful here, it doesn't look like there's any demonic energy."

After dealing with evil spirits so many times, Ying has become more and more familiar with it, especially the abyss aura similar to it in the continent of Teyvat.

At this moment, she saw that the outer sea was calm and peaceful, even more stable than the sea surface when they came to Tianya Island on Gu Ling's boat. It was not at all filled with demonic energy as Ming Ruo said. In her opinion, if this was true, it should be even more violent than the sea surface of Inazuma when the country was closed.

"No hurry." Ming Ruo replied calmly, and then without using any magic power or any magic weapon, he took a step towards the empty sea like an ordinary person.

As a result, Mingruo's body stood steadily on the water surface without sinking, and even the soles of his shoes were not wet.

"Not only is there a warning ban here, but there is also a natural barrier that separates the outer sea from Tianya Island. Just follow me."

After saying that, Ming Ruo watched Ying and Gu Ling catch up with him, and then continued walking forward.

The three of them walked forward together, and after just a few minutes, Ying felt as if she had passed through some kind of barrier, and the scene in front of her changed in an instant.

The calm sea surface suddenly began to surge with her as the center. When she took a step forward, the center of the wave also moved forward. This kind of scene had never been seen before, but she soon felt strange. She came here with Gu Ling and Ming Ruo. If she had the center of the wave under her feet, what about the others? If everyone's feet were the center, why didn't they interfere with each other?

Ying looked around quickly and found that Gu Ling and Ming Ruo were gone, and even the island behind her could not be seen.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, and Ying wasn't panicked at all and quickly calmed down.

"Is it the effect of the formation set up by Tianya Island, or is it some kind of mental attack? It is also possible that I have arrived at the place where Mingruo said that evil spirit is rampant." Ying thought about it and finally decided to keep moving forward.

The sound of the surging sea water kept ringing in Ying's ears, one after another, chaotic and noisy. As Ying walked, she found that the environment, which was originally empty except for the sea water, had changed again, and some obscure scenes emerged around her.

Looking closely, she seemed to be walking in a time tunnel. She saw a seed fall into the soil, then take root, sprout, bloom, bear fruit, until finally withering. She also saw a barren land, but in an instant, high-rise buildings and city walls were built, and the flow of people changing from the initial scattered and sparse to huge crowds.

However, all this did not last forever. The city walls collapsed, the people wailed, and in the blink of an eye, the prosperity just now disappeared like an empty dream.

Ying was feeling touched when she suddenly found a giant hand falling from the sky. An indescribable power filled the surroundings. Before she could understand what was happening, a white light completely submerged her.

When her vision returned, Ying blinked and found that Mingruo and Gu Ling had appeared beside her again at some point, and in front of her, a figure was sitting on a rock with his back to them.

The surroundings were peaceful and quiet. Ming Ruo seemed to be worried about disturbing the other party, so he lowered his voice and said to Ying:

"This is Taoist Mingyang."
