Li Yan is not the kind of evil person who likes to kill and rob, so this means that the world of immortal cultivation has lost a shadow killer that makes people shudder.
"I see that Fellow Daoist Shi is not afraid of Gergan. Is there any way to crack him? Or is there any flaw in 'Du Men Hui Yi' that can be discovered
Hehehe… I am just asking out of curiosity. If Daoist Shi is not comfortable telling me, then you don’t have to answer my question.”
Li Yan followed up with another sentence. He knew that his question was actually a bit abrupt.
Although Shi Pozhu agreed to reveal Gergan's information to himself, this question of his might be the great secret of "Du Men Hui Yi", or it might even involve the secret of Shi Pozhu's own martial arts.
The other party might not tell the truth, and Shi Pozhu shook his head after hearing this.
"The method I'm going to tell you may disappoint Fellow Daoist Zhang. It's experience, experience in turbulent space!
No cultivator of the same level has discovered the flaw in the 'Du Men Hui Yi' yet, but in this turbulent space, one cannot hide anywhere.
If you choose the wrong location, a black hole may suddenly appear and swallow you, or overlapping fragments of space may strangle you just as you are lurking.
It is also possible that you have been hiding somewhere for a long time, and everything is fine, but when you suddenly start killing people, strange things suddenly happen around you, and you are sealed in a death space in an instant.
Therefore, the routes chosen by experienced monks may seem random, but they are actually carefully selected. It is difficult for other monks to hide nearby on the roads they take! "
Having said that, Shi Pozhu looked at Li Yan helplessly.
"According to what you said, the route that Daoist Fellow Shi is taking is actually walking on the edge of a knife, and there may be abysses on both sides!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but look at the footsteps he was following. In fact, his spiritual sense had been secretly circling around the surroundings. There were indeed many places along the way that made his spiritual sense feel a chill.
"Hahahaha... Daoist Fellow Zhang, it is indeed true!"
Shi Pozhu laughed, but there was nothing unusual on his face, as if he was used to it.
"If I meet that person in the future, I must be more careful, especially in this turbulent space."
Li Yan secretly memorized Gergan's name in his heart. The man in armor was really intimidating, but it was not easy to see through.
"Fellow Daoist Shi said that he has been here for more than 40 years just to wait for a Falling Star Beast. Could it be that Falling Star Beasts are relatively rare in the turbulent space?"
Li Yan then remembered that he had been in the turbulent space for dozens of days, but had not encountered a single meteorite beast.
"Hehehe... A word of advice to you, fellow Taoist, unless it is absolutely necessary or you have reached a high level of cultivation, you should not come here specifically to hunt down the Falling Star Beast.
Otherwise, it's better to avoid these things! The meteorite beast is indeed a rare creature in the turbulent space. After all, we can tell just by looking at the environment here.
Normal creatures must cultivate to at least the Nascent Soul stage before they can enter, so the monsters that can appear here are all very powerful.
They either have thick skin and strong flesh, or have the innate ability to resist the dangers of turbulent space.
Take the third-level 'Libei Beast' that I encountered for example. If it were placed in the Fengshen Continent, those fourth-level monsters might not be able to be its opponent.
It was so fast that even with my spiritual sense, it was very vague to capture it. Even if I set an ambush, it still managed to seize a slight opportunity and escape in an instant.
To be frank, if my magic power was not much greater than that of this beast, and its attack could break through my defense, I don’t know how many holes would be left on my body.”
Shi Pozhu said this somewhat helplessly, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
“So, when you walk in the turbulent space, Fellow Daoist Zhang, don’t be misled by the rumors in some books.
There are many dangers here, not only scary things like black holes, but also any meteorite beasts you might encounter."
Li Yan nodded. He felt that Shi Pozhu's words came from the bottom of his heart and there was no pretense on his part.
“However, precisely because the environment here is so harsh, the Falling Star Beasts will not reproduce everywhere, but only in specific areas. This is also one of the reasons why they are not easy to encounter.
If you travel in turbulent space for a long time in the future, you will know the approximate distribution range of the meteorite beasts in the area you pass through."
After hearing this, Li Yan's expression changed.
"Then, Fellow Daoist Shi, do you know where I can buy a map of the distribution of the Fallen Star Beast?"
Li Yan suddenly asked, and Shi Pozhu smiled slightly after hearing it.
“Fellow Daoist, you can go to the largest business or auction house on a certain continent to have a look. These maps are often drawn by cultivators themselves, but they are limited to the areas where they have been active.
However, some large companies still specialize in collecting such maps and then reorganizing them for sale.”
After hearing Shi Pozhu's answer, Li Yan did not ask any further questions. He knew that Shi Pozhu must have such a map in his hands.
But Li Yan would not ask about buying it. Shi Pozhu's meaning just now was very clear. He had no intention of selling it. Li Yan was well aware of the principle of talking about deep things with a stranger.
The two of them kept moving forward, one in front and one behind. After flying for about an hour, Shi Pozhu's speed slowed down, and his spiritual sense kept exploring in all directions. He became cautious, changing his previous casual attitude.
Li Yan followed behind calmly, he guessed that they might be almost there.
Sure enough, after Shi Pozhu had repeatedly detected with his spiritual sense for about half a cup of tea, he waved to Li Yan, and suddenly his speed increased again, changing direction in a turn.
Soon, a huge black meteorite belt appeared in front of Li Yan and his companions. Shi Pozhu not only showed no intention of stopping, but flashed at a faster speed and stepped into the dense meteorite belt.
He stepped on a black meteorite block about an acre in size, then turned around and looked at Li Yan.
The meteorite looked like a large piece of burnt black stone, covered with densely packed black pits and dots, like a honeycomb.
Seeing Shi Pozhu rushing into the meteorite belt in one go, Li Yan's feet stopped involuntarily and he stopped where he was, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang!"
Shi Pozhu glanced at Li Yan anxiously. It was obvious that he didn't want to stay here for too long so as not to be seen by others.
The next moment, the gleam in Li Yan's eyes disappeared, and he flew towards the meteorite in a flash. Only then did Shi Pozhu's expression relax.
"Friend Zhang, you must see clearly where I am going to land. Don't make a mistake or bump into anything. This meteorite belt is very unstable. If we are not careful and destroy the balance here, our fate will be very miserable."
Shi Pozhu looked into Li Yan's eyes and said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I don't want to lose my life here without getting any benefits!" Li Yan replied calmly.
Seeing that Li Yan did not show the panic of a newcomer, Shi Pozhu felt a little more at ease, but he still kept praying in his heart.
"You better not be pretending, or I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Letting Li Yan come over was a helpless move. Now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to say between the two.
There was a bit of black charred stone under Shi Pozhu's feet. The next moment, he left a long and oblique shadow and drilled into the gap between two meteorites in front of him that were offset up and down and almost connected to each other.
When his figure passed through the gap, not even the corner of his clothes touched the edges of the two meteorites, and he disappeared into it in a flash.
Li Yan also followed the same method and slid through the narrow and diagonal gap between the two meteorites. This made Shi Pozhu, who had just flown in with a nervous look on his face, breathe a sigh of relief.
What Li Yan saw was a sea of meteorites of all sizes, stacked up one after another, staggered and intertwined, some vertically connected, and some floating side by side.
Li Yan even saw some vine-like vegetation hanging from the bottom of some meteorites. Although the color was either gray or black, it still made Li Yan feel something was wrong.
So under the leadership of Shi Pozhu, the two of them crossed one area after another. Except for occasionally tapping a meteorite with their toes, they would not make any unnecessary movements to touch other areas.
The meteorites that Li Yan saw were of various shapes, some large were tens of acres in size, and some small were only the size of a boxer.
At the beginning, Shi Pozhu would look back at Li Yan after flying a short distance, and his speed was not very fast.
After the two of them had flown for a cup of tea, Shi Pozhu no longer looked back, but instead focused on flying freely.
At this point, neither of them said a word. Li Yan could also see that Shi Pozhu had been extremely nervous since entering the meteorite belt, and was concentrating on flying wholeheartedly.
In the dark space, among the layers of suspended meteorites, two blurry figures kept flickering, extinguishing... flickering again, and extinguishing again, moving forward, as if two projectiles kept bouncing and falling...
Li Yan silently memorized the route and distance he came from!
About another hour and a half passed, just when Li Yan felt that his patience was almost exhausted, Shi Pozhu in front of him suddenly fell on the edge of a suspended meteorite.
Then he turned around and spoke to Li Yan.
"We're here. We can stand anywhere on this meteorite. As long as we don't smash it, it won't affect the turbulence of the meteorite belt here!"
Then he casually drew a circle in front and behind himself, indicating that Li Yan could fall down.
From this we can see that although Shi Pozhu seems rough and bold, he is actually very meticulous and takes even the smallest details into consideration.
He had previously told Li Yan to keep an eye on where he was stepping and not to make a mistake with every step, just keep up.
Now he was lying on a meteorite and couldn't move. It was impossible for him to let Li Yan, who was flying over, step on his head.
Of course, Li Yan wouldn't be that stupid.
Li Yan's figure swayed and landed about thirty feet to the right of Shi Pozhu. He looked around.
The meteorite they were standing on was about three hundred feet in size. In front of them was a small mountain a hundred feet high, which occupied seven or eight tenths of the entire meteorite.
The mountain seems to be made up of countless thin black rock slices, pointing straight up like knife tips, making the entire mountain look like a "sharp" thorn bush that is dark all over, wide at the bottom and pointed at the top.
And the place where they settled was more like a flat area extending from the foot of the mountain.
Around this meteorite, there are dense groups of meteorites, large and small, distributed near and far, surrounding this place.
"Even if someone knows there is a 'Lihui Beast' here, it would be extremely difficult to find its exact location."
Li Yan was thinking in his heart. He had been silently calculating in his mind that they had flown more than two thousand miles in this meteorite belt alone. Moreover, usually cultivators would not be willing to enter a meteorite belt easily.
Just as Li Yan was thinking, a barely perceptible light flashed from the storage ring on Shi Pozhu's hand, and there was an extra thing in his hand.
Li Yan scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found that it was a dark grey compass.
Shi Pozhu then fiddled with it a few times with his fingers in a seemingly random manner, and then the small black mountain in front of Li Yan lit up with a blue light, which flashed across the surface of the mountain.
Afterwards, a burst of black cracks appeared on the surface of the mountain, as if there was a layer of waves silently rising and falling on the surface of the mountain.
After being blurry for a while, the mountain became clear again. Although the small peak was still the same small peak, there was a gray-white pavilion halfway up the mountain.
The pavilion was built against the mountain, like a big umbrella, covering an area of more than ten feet.
There is a circle of long stone benches in the pavilion, with a stone table in the middle. Perhaps because of its age or because it had been hit in the past, a large piece of the roof of the pavilion is missing.
Even the long stone bench below the gap was broken into a large section, and it looked so lonely and vicissitudes in this vast and silent turbulent space.
"Sure enough, a concealment formation has been set up!"
Li Yan thought as expected.
Although this place is seldom visited and is a dangerous meteorite belt, but Shi Pozhu can find it, so others also have the same chance of appearing here.
Therefore, when Shi Pozhu went out to look for help, he would definitely try to hide this place so that others would not find it. At the same time, he also had to trap the "Li Bei Beast" to prevent it from escaping.
Watching Shi Pozhu's actions, Li Yan stood silently by the side. He discovered some things that were easily overlooked.
That is, no matter whether it was Gergan's sneak attack, or Shi Pozhu's protective light shield, or the magic light when he attacked, they were deliberately suppressing the dazzling light.
Even the blue light emitted by the hidden formation just now was suppressed by Shi Pozhu in an instant.
In the turbulent space, any ray of light is like a bright target, and everyone tries their best not to expose their position.
When Li Yan looked up at the pavilion, Shi Pozhu had already put away the compass in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, that is where the 'Li Bei Beast' is hiding!"
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and a beam of black light shot towards the pavilion halfway up the mountain.
