After the fierce battle, the surroundings turned into a ruin.
Countless celestial roots and heavenly treasures were destroyed in the battle.
Fortunately, soon after Chen Yun engaged in combat with Long Zhan Tian, he used the earth walking spell to lure the enemy to a distance of thousands of miles, without causing any damage to the remote area.
He did not continue to pay attention to where Long Zhan Tian had fled.
Chen Yun retracted his dharma body, transforming into a beam of light and returning to the deep realm.
Although flying like this consumes a lot of spiritual energy, after all, the chaotic spiritual energy will continuously consume his magic power. However, he was afraid that Niu Dali would suffer serious injuries and couldn't care about wasting or not wasting spiritual energy. He wanted to go back to visit him.
Soon, Chen Yun returned to the deep realm.
The bull, heavily wounded with wounds all over his body, immediately rushed towards him.
Although he looked very serious and blood was still flowing from his wounds, his face showed a lot of excitement. He immediately greeted Chen Yun with admiration: "Chen Zhenren, your dharma body is really powerful. Even such a strong opponent as Long Zhan Tian was defeated by you."
Chen Yun appeared calm, shaking his head and saying: "Today, neither I nor she have used our full strength. Otherwise, the outcome of who wins or loses is still uncertain."
His words were indeed the truth.
He indeed had some hidden cards.
However, there is a very low chance that one of his hidden cards will work.
"The Power of Slaughter Law" is very slow, so it's not easy to hit Long Zhan Tian.
On the contrary, "Thousands of Homes Illuminated" has a higher chance of working.
This thing has a very wide range of attack, making it generally difficult to dodge.
As for Long Zhan Tian not using her full strength, everyone knew her bottom cards were nothing more than Waohuang bloodline.
So far, Chen Yun has only guesses and analyses about how powerful the Waohuang bloodline is, and he knows nothing of the true situation.
To be honest, when he displayed his golden divine body, Long Zhan Tian initially showed a fierce expression.
This is sufficient to prove that the person should not be afraid of the Golden Demon God Dharma Body.
Additionally, Chen Yun had another hidden card, which was the power of divinity, that he had not yet used.
He believed that the power of divinity might possibly show an unexpected effect next time he encountered Long Zhan Tian, and even help him kill off Long Zhan Tian.
The bull continued to praise: "Although you and Long Zhan Tian have not given your full strength today, she is a proud person. Today she was defeated by you, her Dao heart is definitely in question. The next time we meet her, our chances of winning will at least increase by one tenth."
Chen Yun agreed with that entirely.
He himself had suffered damage to his Dao heart, which led to problems with his cultivation.
He can sense it.
Long Zhan Tian is an even more proud person than he is.
In the past, she may have never been defeated in battle.
This time she was defeated by him, her Dao heart had a high chance of being damaged.
Chen Yun smiled and replied, "This is definitely good news for both of us, but I don't want to encounter this person again. It's not that I'm afraid of her, but fighting her requires giving everything you have. Even if I win, I might be seriously injured, which would prevent me from dealing with other immortals."
The bull nodded in agreement: "That's true. Long Zhan Tian's true cultivation level is on par with you, Chen Yun. If they were to fight each other, there's a high chance that both would be severely injured."
Discussed a bit about the fight just now.
Chen Yun asked with a concerned expression, "Brother Niu, are your injuries serious? Should I treat them for you?"
"It's not serious." Niu Dali shrugged and said: "You don't have to worry about my injuries. You see, although I have many wounds on my body, they are all just superficial injuries. When we were fighting against Long Zhan Tian, she focused most of her attention and power on you. I was only hit by her sword and she caused me some slight injuries. If I continued to fight, it would only burden you. So I avoided it in time. It must be said that her sword is really powerful. Even though my physical strength is very strong and can resist many cultivation artifacts, she can easily cut off a big piece of my flesh with that sword. It is truly a true divine weapon!"
Chen Yun nodded, "I can sense that her sword is not only incredibly sharp, but there seems to be an extremely tyrannical and savage force hidden within it. If it were to be unleashed, it might possess ultimate killing power."
He still had one more thing unsaid.
That's right, even if Niu Dali reveals his true body, or even if Chen Yun's cultivation level is approaching the completion of his 'Pangu True Body Doctrine's Third Level, he may still not be able to withstand the killing force hidden within Long Zhan Tian's sword.
Chen Yun could sense the terrifying force hidden in the sword because of his profound understanding of the laws of nature and his own mastery over powerful techniques.
It is because the sword emits a killing aura that seems to be somewhat similar to his own "Power of Slaughter Law."
He had used "Power of Slaughter Law" several times before, so he was very familiar with this aura and could sense it in time.
After confirming that Niu Dali was not seriously injured, Chen Yun changed the topic: "By the way, you said that there might be Xuanming Sacred Sand in the Deep Realm. Now that Long Zhan Tian has been chased away by me, let's go into the Deep Realm and see if we can find it."
Niu Dali replied, "All right."
Chen Yun led the way, jumping into the Deep Realm at once.
Niu Dali followed closely behind, leaping along the mountain wall continuously, and headed towards the bottom of the cave.
As he entered the Deep Realm, Chen Yun's heart was filled with anticipation, hoping to find the Xuanming Sacred Sand here.
The cold-slaying spirit has been obtained.
If they could truly obtain the Xuanming Sacred Sand here, it would be equivalent to collecting two heavenly treasures needed for refining the "Slaying Immortals Gourd" in one place.
The journey ahead would become easier.
After a moment, the two arrived at the depths of the ground.
Even though they were at the bottom of the ground, there was still the presence of chaotic spiritual energy.
It was as if these chaotic spiritual energies were everywhere.
Chen Yun slightly inspected it.
He found that it was a cave with passages on both sides.
The stone wall on the left side emitted a faint green fluorescent glow.
The stone wall on the right side emitted white fluorescent glow.
Chen Yun had never been here before, and he really didn't know which way to go.
Chen Yun turned to look at Niu Dali, who had just jumped down, and asked, "Brother Niu, have you been here before? Which side is more likely to have the Xuanming Sacred Sand?"
Niu Dali introduced the situation: "The left side is where the cold-slaying spirit is born, while the right side is more likely to give birth to the Xuanming Sacred Sand. However, there are very powerful spirit beasts guarding over it... haha, Long Zhan Tian has already swept through here, so I'm sure all the powerful spirit beasts have been killed. We can just go over and see if there is any Xuanming Sacred Sand."
Chen Yun shook his head and said, "Even though Long Zhan Tian has been here, she might have slaughtered many guardian spirit beasts. But before we fought with her, we emitted the call of the 'Younian Bat.' I'm sure there are still a large number of 'Younian Bats' in both channels. We should be careful when we go over later and avoid their soundwave attacks."
Niu Dali slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about the 'Younian Bat'. This kind of spirit beast has almost absolute rule over those who are lower than the ground of cultivation or spirit beasts. If we can bring them back to the real world, they would definitely have a huge advantage in protecting places like cultivation bases. Most importantly, they don't have the strength of a cultivator, so they wouldn't be governed by the Tian Court."
Hm?
Are you saying that the Younian Bat lacks the power of an immortal and therefore is not governed by the heavenly court?
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel moved, thinking that if they could control these spirit beasts, the safety of their disciples would also be guaranteed in the future.
He had already verified this method on the Dragon Dao Ren.
He only needed to take out the Five-Colored Lapis Lazuli Tower, trap the spirit beasts inside, and then leave the hole heaven afterward.
Thinking about this, he began to feel excited and hoped to encounter the Younian Bat later.
Chen Yun and Niu Dali walked towards the right-hand passage.
Both of them were cultivators and their physical speed, even just running, was incredibly fast.
Along the way, they saw many spirit beasts killed and lying in the blood.
Some of the spirit beasts still had their "essence and energy," but Long Zhan Tian seemed to have no interest in them and had not taken them away.
Chen Yun and Niu Dali, with their thin foundation, would naturally not be interested in these.
They saw valuable things, whether it was the essence and energy of spirit beasts, or their claws, fur, and so on. Anything suitable for refining pills, refining weapons, or helping with cultivation was all stuffed into their pockets.
Chen Yun did not take credit for driving away Long Zhan Tian, nor did he insist on taking more for himself. Although Niu Dali expressed that he should, Chen Yun still chose to split the spoils evenly with him.
Moreover, Niu Dali is not only leading the way for himself but also helping me.
He willingly took a risk and came to the Deep Realm to pick up the cold-slaying spirit for me.
Chen Yun couldn't possibly treat the other person unfairly, both morally and logically.
Collecting useful items from the spirit beast bodies wasted them a lot of time.
Approximately half an hour later, Chen Yun and Niu Dali finally reached the end of the passage.
Here was entirely different from the outside world, akin to a land of immortal springs.
Looking far away, countless trees with lush foliage grew in the ground.
There were also some weaker spirit beasts playing around in the forest.
Unfortunately, by the time they reached here, Chen Yun still hadn't found any Younian Bats.
Niu Dali said, "Master Chen, there is no chaotic spiritual energy here, so there is a forest and a group of weaker spirit beasts."
Chen Yun looked forward and asked, "Where might the Xuanming Sacred Sand be?"
Niu Dali pointed into the depths of the forest, "Do you see that place where white spiritual energy is rising?"
Chen Yun focused his gaze and indeed, a place where white spiritual energy was rising could be seen about a thousand miles away in the dense forest.
He nodded and said, "I see it."
Niu Dali said, "The Xuanming Sacred Sand is usually born in the Xuanming Place. Why there is no chaotic spiritual energy here is because there is a strange stone that connects with Moka Cat mountain completely and absorbs all the chaotic spiritual energy. That's why white spiritual energy is rising there. That place is where the strange stone is located, and it's because the chaotic spiritual energy passing through the strange stone has been transformed to form the Xuanming Place, so there is hope for it to cultivate Xuanming Sacred Sand. Yeah, when I was here last time, I didn't see it, but there's hope that it can be born here. That's why I brought you over to see it."
Chen Yun tried to release his divine consciousness to see if there was any Xuanming Sacred Sand.
Here, there was no chaotic spiritual energy, so his divine consciousness was not blocked and immediately spread to the place where the white spiritual energy was rising.
Unfortunately, there was a strange energy in the white spiritual energy that interfered with his divine consciousness's exploration.
Reluctantly, Chen Yun had to say, "Let's go and have a look."
Niu Dali answered, "Okay."
The two of them activated their flight technique and turned into a beam of light shooting away.
Without the interference of chaotic spiritual energy, their flying speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived.
Chen Yun landed outside the white spiritual energy.
He saw that it was white everywhere.
Neither his divine consciousness nor his eyes could penetrate through it.
He was still worried that there might be danger inside.
To his surprise, Niu Dali immediately took a step forward as soon as he arrived at this place, "Master Chen, let's go in. There is no grass or any spiritual beasts guarding here, so there is no danger at all."
Oh, so that's the case.
Chen Yun kept his hands behind his back and walked slowly into the place with Niu Dali.
The visibility inside was extremely low, and he could only see what was in front of him within a range of four to five meters.
Unfortunately, apart from some mud that resembled a bog, there was nothing else to be seen here.
Chen Yun didn't know if there was any Xuanming Sacred Sand here, but since they had come this far, he wasn't willing to leave without a proper investigation.
Niu Dali said as he walked, "Do not use any of your power here. Otherwise, you will detonate these white mist clouds and unleash a very terrifying ability. When I first came here, I didn't know this information and accidentally detonated the white mist cloud. Even though I showed my true form in time, I was injured severely all over my body. That's why later on, when I encountered Dao Yuan the Bald old monk, I couldn't beat him and was chased around by him. Well, you've seen me in a pitiful state fifty years ago."
Chen Yun naturally remembered.
Chen Yun was puzzled. Niu Dali said that his actual strength was a bit stronger than Dao Yuan the Bald old monk, but why he would still be so pitiful. It seems that he was injured here.
Thinking of Dao Yuan the Bald old monk, Chen Yun felt a bit confused.
According to Niu Dali's account, his strength was indeed greater than Dao Yuan the Bald old monk's during their last encounter.
However, during their last encounter, Niu Dali seemed to be somewhat inferior.
It seems that Dao Yuan the Bald old monk has made great progress in cultivation over the past fifty years.
Because they couldn't use their spiritual power and had to constantly navigate their surroundings, their pace was not fast.
They walked for about one incense time.
Niu Dali ahead called out, "We've reached the place."
Chen Yun walked forward with a concerned expression and asked, "Is there any Xuanming Sacred Sand?"
Niu Dali burst into laughter and said, "Master Chen, you're really fortunate. There is indeed Xuanming Sacred Sand here."
Chen Yun took a careful look.
Surrounded by an unusual white stone that resembled snow.
Indeed, some white sand that resembled gunpowder was scattered around.
It was indeed the Xuanming Sacred Sand.
Most importantly, the white sand layer upon layer spread on the mud, like a stack of books, is really quite numerous.
Chen Yun was excited and walked up front, "Brother Niu, wait a moment. I'll collect the Xuanming Sacred Sand."
Niu Dali looked around and said in a puzzled manner, "I feel like this strange stone is in a slightly different position than when I came here last time. Could it be... that Long Zhan Tian came here before to dig this stone out and take it away?"
Chen Yun, who was collecting Xuanming Sacred Sand, was startled and turned to look at Niu Dali with a question, "You just said that this stone is connected with Moka Cat mountain and can be dug out and taken away?"
Niu Dali shook his head and said, "I'm unable to dig it out, but Long Zhan Tian possesses countless treasures. Perhaps she has a way to dig it out."
Chen Yun quickly gathered the Xuanming Sacred Sand and, blinking his eyes, asked, "Apart from absorbing chaotic spiritual energy to transform it into an explosive white mist, what other functions does this strange stone have?"
Niu Dali couldn't help but laugh and said, "It can attract chaotic spiritual energy, indicating that it is an elite spiritual stone that can absorb various chaotic spiritual energy. The white mist it transforms into is actually a kind of chaotic spiritual energy without intentional guidance. If we can take the stone away and record the transformation into a specific chaotic spiritual energy array, wouldn't it be an incredibly powerful 'Super Spiritual Gathering Array'?"
Super Spiritual Gathering Array?
This thing not only helps with personal cultivation but can also be used for laying down arrays.
Yes, you could say that. If one were to possess this stone and utilize their mastery of arrays, even if the purpose was just to set up an array and not for cultivation, it would be enough to significantly increase one's combat power!
