A few days later, a ray of light entered the "Pojun Gate". When the light dissipated, the patrolling monk saw the mysterious Elder Li in the sect.
Amid their respectful greetings, Li Yan flew into the sect. As soon as he returned to the cave, he immediately sent a message to Shangguan Tianque.
Half a cup of tea later, Shangguan Tianque did not come over, but Ren Yanyu came. Li Yan was a little surprised about this, but he still let her into the cave.
Later, he learned that Shangguan Tianque had officially gone into seclusion to refine elixirs, and Ren Yanyu was guarding him outside his cave, so she saw the sound transmission note first.
Of course Li Yan knew what kind of elixir Shangguan Tianque was refining, so it was most normal for Ren Yanyu to personally guard outside the cave.
In fact, Ren Yanyu knew about Li Yan's entry into the sect. When she saw the sound transmission note flying over, she knew that the other party must have something urgent to do.
Otherwise, given this person's personality, he would not have transmitted the message immediately after entering the sect.
Afterwards, the two of them talked in Li Yan’s cave, and Ren Yanyu flew away with a frosty face.
Inside the cave, Li Yan was still sitting alone in the hall. He leaned back in his chair, frowning. Only after a long moment did he let out a long sigh.
"Why are there always so many things going on? It's a headache!"
He asked Shangguan Tianque to come over to tell him what Donglin Qinglei asked him to relay. This was certainly not a simple matter of transmitting the message, as Shangguan Tianque would definitely ask for some reasons.
Li Yan had thought about this matter on the way, but Dong Lin Qinglei only said this one sentence that day, and then he excused himself by saying that he was too tired and didn't want to say any more.
Li Yan saw that the other party might have something else to say, but he hesitated for a moment.
Moreover, what Donglin Qinglei said has already involved several sects, and he might want to discuss this matter in detail with Shangguan Tianque.
Li Yan was wondering along the way why the "Blood Lamp Sect" might attack them, and attack them from behind, since they were all affiliated sects.
It was not until Ren Yanyu arrived that he relayed Dong Lin Qinglei's words.
Then, he saw Ren Yanyu's expression suddenly change, and it was not until a long time later that Ren Yanyu said something.
"Did old Donglin say that he was ambushed when he went to the 'Heavenly Demon Grassland' to look for his companion spirit beast?"
"indeed so!"
"Then some of his speculations may have a basis!"
After hearing this, Li Yan did not ask any further questions immediately. He felt that he knew too much and seemed to be trapped in an invisible vortex.
But Ren Yanyu continued speaking.
“The Donglin family practices the art of controlling beasts. Every cultivator is good at controlling various spirit beasts, but they usually only have one companion spirit beast.
The man and the beast complement each other, which makes their combat power extremely powerful. One person's attack is equivalent to two like-minded monks of the same level attacking together. This is much more powerful than a simple siege.
Their skills are also closely related to their companion spirit beasts. The companion spirit beast of old Dong Lin passed away a few years ago, causing his cultivation to stagnate.
If he wants to advance again, he must find a suitable companion spirit beast, and his next realm is the Divine Transformation! "
When she said this, a chill appeared in her eyes.
Li Yan's expression changed slightly. Seeing Ren Yanyu looking at him, he thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Someone is trying to stop you from advancing to the God Transformation stage!"
Ren Yanyu explained it so clearly that Li Yan immediately understood the reason.
The reason why the "Blood Lamp Sect" can control these small sects is because they have the Divine Transformation cultivators.
Well, if someone from these small sects breaks through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, even if it's only one person, they won't be able to fight against the five Spirit Transformation cultivators, but a threat is still a threat.
And if there is one, there may be two. This threat will become stronger and stronger. No matter it was Dong Lin Qinglei or Shangguan Tianque who went to the market this time, they were ambushed by a mysterious man when they were preparing to break through to the God Transformation Realm.
"Has this ever happened before?"
Li Yan felt that if the "Blood Lamp Sect" was really like this, then based on the rich cultivation resources in the Immortal Spirit Realm, the experience of impacting the Spirit Transformation Realm must have happened to other sects in the sect.
"In the area under the jurisdiction of the Blood Lantern Sect, many sects have already disappeared. Fourth-rate sects like us are mostly short-lived, just like the Dragon Capturing Sect.
Some sects voluntarily gave up the resources here and left for various reasons.
Of course, I have also heard of people who have achieved a breakthrough to become a god, but they basically moved away afterwards. This also caused the overall strength of the Blood Lamp Sect to decline for a period of time.
We will also take action against the hostile forces of the Blood Lantern Sect. We cannot deal with the big ones, but we can still deal with the ones like the Qingyang Temple and balance them out."
Ren Yanyu replied.
Li Yan understood the meaning of her words. The demise of the "Dragon-Qinning Sect" might have been deliberately allowed by the "Blood Lamp Sect". They also had a late-stage great cultivator, so they let the two sects kill each other first.
Some of those who gave up their resources and left may have seen the problems and would rather abandon their original sect foundation and find another way out.
But how come allowing some cultivators to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the practices of the "Blood Lamp Sect"? This makes Li Yan unable to understand
He wondered if the other party felt that they couldn't do it too obviously, so they let the other party advance, and finally forced the other party away.
But in this kind of situation, you obviously need to know the other person's character, otherwise, if you meet someone stubborn, you will end up fighting with him.
"Brother once attempted to reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but he failed. That time, someone secretly attacked him, causing a strong fluctuation in the Heavenly Tribulation..."
Ren Yanyu was thinking about the possibility. When she thought of what happened in the past, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she told Li Yan another story.
After listening to Ren Yanyu's detailed account, Li Yan was also moved. It turned out that Shangguan Tianque had also tried to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm, and someone had actually destroyed his breakthrough.
For a moment, Li Yan didn't know what to say.
"Since you don't want other strong people to appear in your area, why doesn't the Blood Lantern Sect directly drive away other small sects and expand your own sect?"
Li Yan then thought of another question.
"Do you think an emperor would expand the palace to cover his entire dynasty? And he would occupy a large area of cultivation resources alone
This is a completely different concept from allowing some small sects to belong to him and keeping the scope of his sect at the appropriate size.
His strength is not yet capable of that level of expansion, and they themselves cannot quickly cultivate so many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Moreover, there are more powerful sects affiliated with the Blood Lantern Sect, and they will not sit idly by and let him expand indefinitely..."
Li Yan was still thinking until Ren Yanyu left in shock and anger.
Through Ren Yanyu's words, some things can be analyzed, but in some aspects it seems a bit far-fetched. After the explanation, Li Yan feels that it doesn't seem to be the case.
However, Li Yan has been considering whether to leave here, but the matter is not too urgent at the moment.
Even if Ren Yanyu's speculation is correct, Shangguan Tianque is still refining the elixir. As long as he doesn't break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, this place is still safe.
… …
At a certain moment, several figures appeared in a square on the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak in the Wuliang Sect of the Wild Moon Continent. They were standing in front of a stone tablet in the center of the square.
Those people were Mo Qing, Wei Chongran, Li Yuyin, Zhao Min, Gong Chenying, Baili Yuan and Li Wuyi. The latter two had been practicing hard and had encountered the Nascent Soul Tribulation one after another, and finally succeeded in forming a Nascent Soul. This made the Wuliang Sect once again unprecedentedly powerful.
Decades ago, when Gong Chenying, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, returned, the entire sect was extremely excited. Xiaozhu Peak's fame reached its peak and was unrivaled.
Xiaozhu Peak was sparsely populated, but for a period of time it almost became a golden scale pool for Nascent Soul cultivators, and many of their peerless talents transformed into dragons.
Even for Zhao Min, many people believe that she is from Xiaozhu Peak, after all, her husband and parents are all from Xiaozhu Peak.
With the return of Gong Chenying, something that was only known to a few people in Xiaozhu Peak and several other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Wangliang Sect was revealed by Gong Chenying.
They all knew the real purpose of Gong Chenying's return this time. Li Yan was missing, and Gong Chenying came back to personally identify Li Yan's soul lamp!
At the same time, Gong Chenying brought back more shocking news, which plunged them into great shock.
After leaving the sect, Li Yan's cultivation reached the late Nascent Soul stage in just a few decades. His speed was terrifying.
Moreover, the reason for his disappearance was that he joined forces with three other great monks to fight against the Divine Transformation Monk. As a result, while these four were fighting against the Divine Transformation Monk, no one on their side died except Li Yan.
The key point is that at the critical moment, Li Yan used a secret technique to draw the Divine Transformation Monk into the turbulent space, and the two of them disappeared without a trace since then.
The news we got later was that the Divine Transformation cultivator had died, and as a result, the top sect he belonged to was destroyed...
Everything Gong Chenying said shocked these people.
They couldn't imagine how Li Yan had cultivated all the way from the early Nascent Soul stage to the terrifying realm of a late great cultivator in just a few decades, and even fought against a God Transformation cultivator.
This is no longer something that can be described by the use of fierce energy. When the Great Master was in the crack of the Yinmo Cliff, he single-handedly dealt with the late-stage cultivators of the four major sects and forced them into a desperate situation in a short period of time.
If the ancient wine flag had not appeared, all the great monks would have died that time.
Especially when talking about Li Yan using the magic scroll to take the other party away, people can't help but think of a picture, an ant hugging a big tree and trying to shake it.
After everyone was surprised, Wei Chongran, Zhao Min, Gong Chenying and Li Wuyi entered the soul lamp at Xiaozhu Peak. After a careful inspection, they did not find anything unusual.
But this situation is the same as when Li Yan and Zhao Min disappeared. Li Yan once again entered the unknown turbulent space, and it is uncertain whether the soul lamp can sense it.
Although the soul lamp is still there, it does not necessarily mean that Li Yan is still alive. Of course, Gong Chenying and the others still firmly believe that Li Yan is alive.
The main reason is the existence of the two monsters and the "Heart-Entangled Twins Gu" planted by Zhao Min.
However, Wei Chongran and others also knew that both the contract and the "Heart-Entangled Twins Gu" would still be restricted by distance and different rules of heaven and earth, but they also selectively abandoned these factors.
After this matter was dealt with, everyone soon learned about another incident, something that left everyone except Zhao Min dumbfounded or stunned.
Gong Chenying and Li Yan also became a Taoist couple, and this was also said by Gong Chenying himself.
Li Wuyi and the others were all stunned on the spot. Even Wei Chongran fell silent, especially Yun Chunqu, whose face turned pale as paper...
The matter gradually subsided after several days.
Since then, Yun Chunqu left the Wuliang Sect and lost all news and his whereabouts are unknown!
Wei Chongran also learned from Zhao Min the reason why Gong Chenying became Li Yan's Taoist partner, which was about the "navel ring". Of course, he knew the clan rules of the Tianli tribe better than anyone else in the sect, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Li Wuyi, Wei Chituo and others just felt sorry for Yun Chun's departure, but they would not say anything because both of them were their junior fellow apprentices.
Moreover, Gong Chenying repeatedly stated that this was her own intention and that she liked Li Yan.
They were in love with each other, and even though they were close senior brother and sister, no one could say anything unfair on Yunchun's behalf. People who knew the situation also knew that Gong Chenying had long rejected the love of her third senior brother.
At the same time, Zhao Min also stood on the side of Gong Chenying. Although she didn't say much, everyone could see that she, in white, stood side by side with Gong Chenying, in blue with arrow sleeves, and her silence was more powerful than words.
In this case, what else can they say
When Li Changting learned about this, she blinked her beautiful eyes and finally said these words to Zhao Min.
"It's the same as Wuyi in my family. Your Li Yan is also very powerful. He got two female cultivators to... to... wuwuwu..."
But before she could finish her words, Zhao Min covered her mouth with her hand, and Li Wuyi glared at Li Changting fiercely.
Even Miao Wangqing, who was originally feeling sorry for the third brother, blushed and spat...
After dealing with this matter, since it was too troublesome to cross the border, Gong Chenying decided to stay in the Wuliang Sect for a while before planning to go back.
She stayed in the Wuliang Sect in the hope that Li Yan would suddenly return like he did last time.
Especially when she saw Li Zhaoyan, she wanted to stay here for a while. Li Zhaoyan had some of Li Yan's shadow. Although she looked more like Zhao Min, she was the continuation of Li Yan's bloodline after all.
Gong Chenying herself was not pregnant. It was not so easy for a cultivator to have offspring, especially since Gong Chenying was also a powerful cultivator who practiced both magic and body.
For this reason, when she saw Li Zhaoyan, she loved her even more and would often call her over to ask about her cultivation and then give her some things.
However, Li Zhaoyan was still a little afraid of this "mother" who suddenly appeared. Of course, she had heard a lot about Gong Chenying's affairs in Xiaozhu Peak.
She was a person as cold and indifferent as her own mother, but after spending a few days with her, she felt that this "mother" was very easy to talk to and gave her many precious exotic refining materials.
This caused Li Zhaoyan to pause her research for a long time, but she began to feel the urge to do something new again.
As a result, Li Zhaoyan called her "mother" more and more familiarly, and she looked very well-behaved...
As for Qianji, after crossing the border and appearing in the North Sea, he proposed to leave temporarily, as there were clansmen left there by him and Li Yan. Li Yan didn't let him tell anyone, and he would never mention it to anyone.
In this regard, Gong Chenying and Zhao Min simply reminded him that if Qianji encountered any problems, he should use the name of the Wuliang Sect.
Qianji nodded, talked to Zikun for a few more words, and then flew away.
After crossing the North Sea, when Hongyin was close to the North Sea Demon Suppression Tower, Zhao Min, posing as the ancestor of the Wangliang Sect, transmitted the message to the Pure Land Sect.
Finally, Yiye Arhat from the Pure Land Sect came to meet Hong Yin in person. After learning about Hong Yin’s request, he readily agreed.
First, Zhao Min herself is the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Wangling Sect. Since she has spoken, even if the two sects have been fighting secretly for years, this face must be given.
The second is that Yiye Luohan admires Li Yan very much. During Li Yan's infant-forming ceremony, the other party's powerful fighting ability left a deep impression on him. The strong are always respected.
The third is that after he had a brief chat with Hong Yin, he was very surprised at the depth of Hong Yin's Buddhist knowledge as they were both Buddhists. As for the Buddhist disciples from other realms, the Pure Land Sect actually wanted to make friends with them.
Therefore, when Hong Yin was in the Pure Land Sect, he was arranged by Yiye Luohan to enter the "Beiming Suppression Tower".
Hong Yin also hopes that Li Yan can be alive. In that shocking battle, Li Yan's final action also touched Hong Yin's dusty and cold heart. She seemed to see herself at the beginning, who was willing to turn her body into a relic for the sake of "Hongfu Temple".
She and Li Yan are the same type of people. For their own obsession, they can sacrifice themselves...
In the end, only Zi Kun followed the two women back to the Wuliang Sect. Then Zi Kun had his own bamboo courtyard on Xiaozhu Peak, where he began to practice with peace of mind.
What others don’t know is that Zi Kun and Qian Ji have already agreed that they will advance to the fourth-level monster as soon as possible, and then they will enter the turbulent space together to look for Li Yan.
Even if they end up dying in it, they must find clues about Li Yan!
They believed more than anyone else that Li Yan was still alive, because Li Yan was always the master who planned before taking action and would never let himself suffer any loss.
For now, they can only watch the mistress anxiously searching on her own, unable to help. However, in the unknown turbulent space, they will surely appear at some point in time.
The two demons dream to be like before, to accompany Li Yan to gallop between heaven and earth, and to avenge their enemies!
