It was late at night, and the breeze in Shuliu Valley was as warm and peaceful as ever.
Su Mourbai came to Tianyi Pavilion when the new moon was rising. At this time, Yun Qing was explaining the alchemy formula to the inner disciple who borrowed the Jinye Danjing last time.
This disciple's name is Zhichuan, who has been in the Tao for a hundred years. Although her aptitude is mediocre, her temperament is top-notch. She has no distracting thoughts and can calm down, so she is considered outstanding in the inner sect. After borrowing the alchemy formula, she came to Tianyi Pavilion to borrow alchemy classics a few times, and had a brief exchange with Yun Qing after several visits. This time she seemed to encounter some obstacles again, so she simply came to Tianyi Pavilion to stay for a few days, discussing with Yun Qing while consulting the classics.
"Nine elixir, the key to longevity, is what extraordinary people should have seen and heard. The elixir prescriptions I have seen now have been changed many times, so I asked you before if you need to borrow the Jiuding elixir and the Taiqing elixir together, so that Mutual confirmation. Furthermore, it is probably impossible to open a furnace to refine alchemy in the valley. The alchemy furnace and the alchemy fire need to be in harmony with the time and place. External avatars are fine, but the gains outweigh the losses if you use them to improve your cultivation.”
As Yun Qing said, he called out the Jiuding Danjing and Taiqing Danjing from behind, and handed them to Zhichuan: "The "Reexamination of the True Explanation of Dan Yuan" that you borrowed a few days ago is also available, can I find it for you?"
Zhichuan shook his head: "Thank you for your advice, let's talk about it after I finish reading a few alchemy scriptures."
She put away the jade slips and turned around, and immediately met Su Moobai who had been standing by the door for a long time. Zhichuan was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly saluted: "Why is Master here?"
Taishang Dao cultivators mostly practice behind closed doors, forgetting the passage of time without knowing the passage of time. Seniors like Su Yubai appeared several times in the battle of Qingtian thousands of years ago. Zhichuan did not expect to be able to do so here. Somewhere to see him.
"I'm here to bring a message to the tortured." Su Mobai nodded peacefully at Zhichuan, and then said to Yunqing, "The law of the saint has come down."
Zhichuan felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between them, did the "person under torture" refer to this girl? This made her a little surprised. During the few days of getting along, Zhichuan also knew Yunqing a little bit. The other party looked very young, but she had completely escaped the innocence of this age. All the Supreme Dao practitioners she had met were a little different.
"Senior, please explain in detail." Yun Qing put down the book in his hand, stood up and saluted.
Zhichuan backed away a few steps, she saw something at this moment, judging from Yun Qing's address to Su Moobai, the other party might not be a disciple of Shenyin Sect.
Su Mourbai simply mentioned the meaning of the sage of the immortal way: "Sir, the sage asked you to stay here for ten years. During the ten years, you will guard the mountain for my sect and protect the disciples of our sect."
From Zhichuan's point of view, this is basically "entrusted with a heavy responsibility". Can this girl in front of him be like the senior Zhu Yan on Qingya Peak, guarding the mountain gate and forging an iron wall with her own body
"Thank you, Lord Saint, for your kindness." Yun Qing bowed her head in thanks, "Am I going to stay here for ten years?"
Su Moobai bypassed Zhichuan and walked in front of her. Yun Qing only felt that yin and yang energy were like mountains and seas, and huge waves swept over everything. She barely stood up straight.
"The place you are stationed at is the southern gateway to the Heavenly Vein, the Darkness of the North Sea."
Yun Qing has never heard of this Beihai Zhiming at all. She went to the Tongtian Shenmai this time through the Great Teleportation Formation. The southern gateway of the Tongtian Shenmai must be a place similar to the South Pass of the Wuhuang Demon Realm.
"Senior, can you lead the way?" Yun Qing asked with a good attitude.
Su Moobai said indifferently: "No time. Zhichuan, please tell her clearly."
"Yes!" Zhichuan immediately replied, the darkness of the North Sea is not a good thing...
Su Mourbai walked out of Tianyi Pavilion with his hands behind his back. He said to Yun Qing: "This is a punishment, not a vacation. I hope the Demon Lord will use more snacks... The period of the central turbulence has shortened, and the North Sea current is affected by it. Kunpeng's migration may It will be ahead of time, and I hope the Demon Lord will not die there."
As he spoke, he turned into a breeze and disappeared.
After hearing Su Moobai's last words, Zhichuan suddenly understood: "Are you a disciple of the Demon Dao?"
"Six Dao Yan Mozong disciples." Yun Qing put the book back on the shelf, and said regretfully, "Let's go."
Zhichuan knew her identity as soon as he heard it, but he didn't ask any more questions. She must be the famous Huangquan Demon Lord. The first descendant who died in this war was killed by her. For inner disciples like Zhichuan, direct inheritance is almost a kind of belief. Their strength also means the strength of orthodoxy. Fallen—until this Netherworld Demon Venerable killed Ling Feizi.
"Why don't you need to pay for your life?" Zhichuan looked at her and said, there was no resentment in his words, just pure doubts, "If you only need to pay ten years to kill the direct lineage, then the cost is too low, right? There will be more people who will attack the direct lineage."
"First of all, there are very few people who can kill the direct lineage, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of 'more people attacking the direct lineage'. Secondly, I don't need to pay for my life, but not everyone in the world can become Huangquan."
Yun Qing's tone was the same as when explaining Danfang these days, but Zhichuan still felt the subtle attitude of unscrupulous and reckless behavior.
She didn't say much anymore, she just led the way in silence. To say how much Zhichuan has nostalgia for the dead direct disciple, it really can't be said, the way of the Supreme is already beyond selfish desires and feelings, not to mention that Zhichuan has never even seen the face of Ling Feizi.
She just instinctively felt that the girl in front of her was not so suitable for approaching.
"What kind of place is the Underworld of the North Sea?" Yun Qing asked while walking.
Zhichuan received Su Moobai's instructions, so he knew everything: "The Underworld of the North Sea is a place without light, it is the northernmost end of the world, and at that port there is a gate of the heavenly vein."
"Kunpeng... is there any danger?" Yun Qing continued to ask, she had been either in the Nanfeng Continent or in the Realm of No Delusion for the past ten years, and she didn't know much about the things on the sea.
Zhichuan was a little embarrassed, she sent Yunqing to Taniguchi, and then said: "This... I only heard that the Kun sleeps in the underworld of the North Sea, but I don't know much about the turbulent currents that the uncle mentioned and the migration of the Kunpeng. .”
"Understood." Yun Qing nodded, "Is there anything else you want to ask about Dan Fang?"
Zhichuan didn't expect her to mention this: "No, no. By the way, this is the sea chart, which shows the location of the North Sea and the seasonal changes of currents. These should not have any major changes in ten years. , Mozun just pay a little attention... Apart from the strong wind, there are countless dangers on the North Sea, and Tongtian Shenmai is the important town of our sect, Mozun must not take it lightly."
"En." Yun Qing nodded again, and took a thick gold leaf booklet from her hand. The book is extremely detailed. Nearly a hundred hidden reefs, gale winds, whirlpools, and sea beasts are marked in a sea area with a radius of thousands of miles. If such a thin gold foil paper is refined into a book, there must be a lot of content covered in it. It is indeed a big project to explore the entire Beihai so thoroughly, and the dangers and opportunities inside are clearly laid out on the gold foil paper, which makes Yun Qing feel that the value of the booklet in front of him is not less than an ancient magic weapon.
She turned Fang Cunzhan to leave this quiet and warm valley, and embarked on the road to the underworld of the North Sea.
Zhichuan looked up at Xinyue. She had practiced in this valley for countless years. Only this time, she felt restlessness from this strange demon practitioner. Troubled times are really coming.
Yun Qing went out to the sea from the west of the Beichuan mainland, and flew north along the sea breeze. Along the way, the wind and waves became stronger and stronger, the sky became darker and darker, and finally even the moonlight dimmed.
There is also a strong wind in the north of Beichuan, and it is impossible to rush straight to the Tongtian Shenmai, so Yun Qing can only choose to make a detour. The sea area is much wider than the land area, but it is also more empty. Not to mention the people on such a vast sea, even the sea people are very rare. The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and some sea areas will be covered with thin ice, ships cannot pass through, and even the sea people cannot communicate with the world on land.
Yun Qing had the sea chart presented by Zhichuan, and basically avoided all the fatal dangers, but it would take a big detour in this way.
I don't know how many days I have been flying, the light changes between day and night are almost gone, the surroundings are smeared with blackness, and I can't tell the up and down directions. Fortunately, Yun Qing only looks at things with her heart, and has not been greatly affected for the time being.
When the last ray of light disappeared, Yun Qing knew that she had arrived.
The sky is black with no stars and moons, the sea is black with no fish and crabs. It is extremely cold here, the sea is covered with thick ice, and the ice is continuous into mountains and rivers. Black mountains are floating on the vast black sea, as if everything in the world has fallen into the void. There is a little light in the void, it seems to be within reach and it seems to be far away in the sky, Yun Qing looks at that light, presumably it is the gate of the heavenly divine vein.
She originally wanted to stop near the boundary gate, but it got colder the further north she went. She felt that her blood flow was getting slower and slower. Penetrating into the bones, the whole person is stiff. Yun Qing had no choice but to stop here, instead of walking in the direction of the boundary gate, she began to slowly circulate the Da Ri He Tian Zhen Qi to protect her body, but the cold wind continued, and the surrounding Spirit Qi was also very thin, so it was definitely not an option to continue like this.
Yun Qing stepped onto an iceberg, but immediately found that the mountain was moving slowly under the ocean current. She originally wanted to find a place to stay for ten years with the turtle's breath technique, and after the ten-year period, she could be at ease, but now it seems that it should not be possible. Just as Su Yubai said, at this time, the central turbulent current has become a riot, and the surrounding ocean currents are affected by it, and the speed is obviously accelerated. The same is true for the Darkness of the North Sea. If she really finds a mountain and falls asleep, she probably won't know where she will drift with the mountain after ten days.
Immortal Dao really has no omissions, so she can't be lazy and can only stay awake all the time.
Yun Qing wandered among the mountains for a while, and found an open space in the center of the entire sea area. This place is almost as wide as half a continent. Because it is surrounded by continuous icebergs, it is less affected by ocean currents. She flew up to this empty place, condensed the jade platform with Xuanyuanhuayu technique, and built a temporary residence in the void.
"Forget it, it's only ten years..."
Yun Qing raised his hands, and forty-nine pillars of fire rose from the jade platform, and the red lotus karmic fire burned blazingly on the pillars, slightly dispelling the coldness of the deep sea. She sat cross-legged on the jade platform, enduring the deep cold and silence, not caring about the passage of time or the changes of the world.
