Bone Taoist

Chapter 696: A Corner of the Ancient World

Huhu——

The wind was still blowing, blood mist was rising all around, and the weird atmosphere made people's hair stand on end.

Jiang Ni's words made Ye Zang look slightly stunned. This Blood God Forest was indeed not that simple. The time and space here were extremely disordered and were not bound by the rules of the Ten Continents.

The only person who had the ability to evolve such a forbidden area in the Ten Continents was Ye Zang, who had only seen the Samsara Prison of the Red Mountain Demon before.

Places like Tianlao Xiantai and Yitian Chess Game are not included in the list because those places do not originally belong to the Ten Continents.

"Half a year? Do you know that less than a month has passed in the outside world?" Ye Zang said in a slightly deep voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Ni's body trembled, her eyes were extremely panicked, and she said in a frightened tone: "Where have we come to? Does a place that can affect the laws of space and time in the world really exist?"

With her knowledge, she couldn't imagine that such a thing could exist.

However, Ye Zang seemed very calm, because he had experienced too many such things. His reincarnation and traveling through the long river of time to the beginning of his cultivation was something very incomprehensible in itself, and it was definitely not something that could be done by ordinary Taoist tools.

"The strange situation here is most likely caused by the great formation lurking below. We can break it by finding the center of the formation." Ye Zang said in a deep voice, and asked, "Which direction did Cao Guanjiu and Xue Ning go when you last saw them?"

Jiang Ni's eyes were bloodshot as she tried hard to recall what happened before she fell into a coma.

She vaguely remembered that after the three of them had walked for several days, they only stopped to rest for half a day, and then suddenly a thick fog arose, and finally the three of them were separated.

"They should have continued to walk north. The fog was very strange and came without anyone noticing. I walked here for a long time, but before my consciousness faded, I still couldn't find Chief Cao and Sister Xue..."

Jiang Ni's teeth were chattering, and she looked very depressed.

In her opinion, she was afraid that she would be buried here this time, but at least she was not dying alone, because at least someone she knew was here.

"Brother Ye, do you have a way to get out?" Jiang Ni asked somewhat hopelessly.

"We have to give it a try, but I have left a mark of my soul outside. If there is really no other way, you can destroy your body and let your soul leave here." Ye Zang said calmly.

"You... have already reached that level of cultivation?" Jiang Ni said in disbelief.

"Don't worry, I can take your Nascent Soul away, and use your family's means to find a spiritual body for you to take over and be reborn." Ye Zang spread his hands.

Hearing this, Jiang Ni remained silent, obviously a little frightened by Ye Zang's words.

She was a rookie and had been going smoothly since she entered the Tao. She often stayed in seclusion in her family and had never experienced such a dangerous situation.

"This is the last resort. We won't do this unless it's absolutely necessary." Ye Zang said calmly.

Then he helped Jiang Ni up.

The two continued to go deeper into the Blood God Forest.

……

At the same time, Ye Zang entered the Blood God Forest and stayed there for a few days.

Only an hour had passed in the outside world.

The Holy Son of Taichu, Wei Wuya, Jian Shisi, Sikong Ying and others arrived one after another and hid in various secret hiding places.

This Nascent Soul Secret Treasure suddenly became lively. As more and more cultivators from Dongsheng and Tianming continents arrived, battles broke out in the ruins of each party, and the competition was extremely fierce.

In the ruins of an ancient city in the southwest.

Jiang Yijing stepped on the dragon energy and rushed out with hundreds of Dongsheng monks.

She fell from the sky, and this ruined land was under her control. All the Tianming monks who had been entrenched here were killed, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

"Turn the secret vault upside down and find that bastard!" Jiang Yijing said sternly with her Taoist robe fluttering and her beautiful eyes gloomy.

"Senior Sister Jiang, has he already left the God and Demon Rift Valley?" A disciple asked as he flew cautiously to the front.

"The soul of my sect's elder is watching outside the Ninth Heaven. That bastard has cultivated the body of a Candle Dragon. The energy in his body is as boundless and vast as the ocean. If he left the rift, with the soul of Elder Hedao, he would be able to sense it at the first moment. However, he has not left the rift of gods and demons. He must still be lurking somewhere in secret!" Jiang Yijing said.

Jiang Yijing had sent the message to Longshou Mountain long before she reached a deal with Ye Zang.

Longshou Mountain not only sent many disciples, but also found the retreating elders of Hedao to back them up, which showed that they were very concerned about the Candle Dragon Technique. Longshou Mountain inherited the ancient True Dragon Technique, but in fact, there were many broken parts.

The complete Zhulong technique, if blessed with their dragon energy, can exert unimaginable power, and it will definitely dominate the world!
"This secret treasure is so vast. If that person is really hiding in some corner, how long will it take to find him..." a Dongsheng cultivator muttered.

"Yeah, this is too much to ask."

Some of them were not disciples of the Eight Immortal Sects and spoke with embarrassment.

They had finally come in, and were still thinking about seeking opportunities, so why waste time looking for a monk who was hiding.

"This is the Dragon Finding Ruler, which can detect the essence of the body, magic and supernatural powers. If you help me find that person, Longshou Mountain will thank you generously."

Jiang Yijing didn't waste any time and directly took out the Qiankun bag.

One after another, magic rulers flew out.

Her words were very domineering, leaving these Dongsheng monks no chance to refuse.

Everyone was somewhat helpless and could only bow and accept it.

In the ancient city of the ruins, monks kept flying out and disappeared into the distant sky, looking for the "bastard" that Jiang Yijing mentioned.

Half a day later, Wei Wuya also arrived at the ruins of the ancient city.

He stood on the Saint's Tao Tree, and the emerald green magic power covered the sky and the sun, extremely majestic.

"Little Sister Jiang, you are here indeed." Wei Wuya landed on the city wall of the ancient city and said with his hands clasped.

Jiang Yijing had a blank expression on her face as she flew out of the cave on the dragon's energy.

"Wei Wuya?" Jiang Yijing raised her eyebrows.

Wei Wuya seemed a little helpless and embarrassed to address Jiang Yijing. He coughed a few times and said with a smile, "It's been so long since we last met, Jiang Xiaomei seems a little strange. In the past, you and I discussed Taoism in Guanghan for a long time."

Jiang Yijing still had no expression on her face and looked at Wei Wuya coldly, who looked a little embarrassed.

He then added, "I came here to inform you that Tianming's Taichu Saint Son and Jian Shisi are also here. If you encounter them, you must be careful. They are not easy to deal with, and their Taoism is very fierce."

Jiang Yijing's eyes sank slightly as if thinking about something, "I have heard of these two people. Thank you, Senior Brother Wei, for telling me."

Wei Wuya looked at Jiang Yijing and spread his hands and said, "Little sister Jiang, won't you invite me into the city to have a chat?"

"Brother, if you have the time, why don't you go and find someone for me?" Jiang Yijing said with a smile on his face.

"Who?" Wei Wuya asked.

"This man has mastered the Candle Dragon Technique of the King of the Northern Territory. He once killed my disciples from Longshou Mountain. Now he is hiding somewhere in a secret place. Brother, if you find him, you can bring his head to me. It won't be too late for us to discuss the Dao again." Jiang Yijing looked at Wei Wuya with her slender eyes and said calmly.

"Candle Dragon Technique?" Wei Wuya raised his eyes slightly.

After thinking for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "In this world, those who know the Candle Dragon Technique are not just the descendants of the Northern King."

The Murong family of the Northern Wilderness had long been in decline. As descendants of the former King of the Northern Territory, the clansmen are now scattered throughout the Northern Wilderness. They all hold an opinion, claiming that they are the direct descendants.

Moreover, the Zhulong Body Refining Technique they possessed was also very incomplete and had long lost its former power. "What does that person look like?" Wei Wuya frowned.

"That bastard is very good at using strange magic to change his appearance. No one knows his true appearance." Jiang Yijing said intently.

When these words came out, Wei Wuya was shocked.

He thought for a few breaths, then immediately flew away. No one knew where he went or what he did. Jiang Yijing was left standing there frowning in silence.

……

The Blood God Ancient Forest, the scenery inside remains unchanged.

The ancient tree reached the sky. In Ye Zang's eyes, it had reached the sky. Each blood-red leaf looked like a hanging star, giving a full sense of oppression.

The ground veins are very dry, and there are dense spider-web-like cracks all over the ground.

Ye Zang had no idea how small his body had become in this formation. He just felt that the dust particles from the past were as big as small hills, suspended in the air. The surroundings were so quiet that it was suffocating.

"Brother Ye, I'm so tired..." Jiang Ni's eyes were as if filled with mercury. She was drowsy, and her soft body leaned against Ye Zang's back, looking like a walking corpse.

Ye Zang noticed that her consciousness was dissipating uncontrollably.

In fact, Ye Zang doesn’t feel very good now. The pressure from the spiritual consciousness coming from all directions is too strong. Even Ye Zang’s spiritual consciousness is a little tired, let alone Jiang Ni.

"There is no way to heaven, no door to hell..."

Ye Zang took a deep breath and looked around with his Dharma eyes.

The deeper you go, the more complicated the path of the formation becomes. It lurks under the earth veins, with so many intertwined threads that it is dizzying to look at.

"If you want to deduce it completely, it will take at least a hundred years." Ye Zang's eyes were gloomy. He couldn't stay in this ghost place for hundreds of years, although the outside world estimated that only a dozen years had passed.

During this period of time, Ye Zang has been using his Dharma Eye to search for the location of the formation.

But those ancient creatures obviously hid the center of the formation very well.

"I am now in the formation. If I use the reverse formation pattern, I am afraid that my body will be destroyed as well."

Ye Zang frowned slightly, thinking about a countermeasure.

Behind him, Jiang Ni had fainted again. Ye Zang's eyes darkened slightly. He put her Taoist body into the Wuxiang Ding and suppressed her.

This woman is a disciple of the Jiang family of Wutong Mountain. She can do them a favor. The competition for power among the bishops is at a critical moment. The overall strength of Wutong Mountain is among the top twenty-four families. Making friends with them will be beneficial to the situation of Langya Palace within the bishop.

Ye Zang is no longer alone now. He has disciples, and there are people in Langya Palace who need his protection.

"Appearance!"

Ye Zang shouted loudly, and the spiritual orifice on his forehead opened, and the light of his all-seeing Dharma Eye looked around.

He was silently reciting the divine spell bestowed upon him by old man Zhen Yu. Originally this was a technique for nurturing the Dharma Eye, but now Ye Zang's Dharma Eye had reached its peak at the Nascent Soul realm. Although he could not improve further, it could still be used to preserve his spiritual consciousness.

There was a blood mist in front of me, and strong winds were blowing.

It was pitch dark, but Ye Zang continued to pace, going deeper and deeper.

“No matter how exquisite this formation is, its power must have its limits. This is still within the Nascent Soul Realm. If there were power from the He Dao, the secret treasure would have collapsed long ago.”

Ye Zang was very sure of this idea, so he continued to go deeper tirelessly.

This is the simplest way to get to the source. As long as his spiritual power is extremely strong at the Nascent Soul stage and he is proficient in the strange formation, the restrictions in the Nascent Soul secret collection will not be able to trap Ye Zang, even the means of those ancient creatures.

Time passes bit by bit.

Ye Zang no longer calculated how long he had been here. In the Blood God Forest, it should have been five years. In the outside world, it would have been only about half a year.

The surrounding environment has changed drastically.

Ye Zang could no longer see the Blood God Tree, and the blood mist in the surrounding space also disappeared.

Yes, there is only dust floating in the air and very dim and weak skylight.

Everything is silent, as if time has stopped.

Ye Zang's eyes were already bloodshot, but his spiritual orifice was still opening and emitting a glow.

Suddenly, he heard whispering in his ears.

"What a stubborn outsider..."

"How long will this guy last?"

"If he continues like this, he will reach the border."

"Don't worry, he can't come over."

"This Taoist is so strange. He has the aura of a long river of time. He is different from the otherworldly people we saw before."

"I cannot observe his horoscope. He... is not from this world."

The sound was very faint, like a mosquito talking.

At the same time, Ye Zang sensed the familiar aura of those ancient creatures, which was slightly different from that in Qianhuang Gorge. The ancient creatures in Qianhuang Gorge had strong murderous intent, while these creatures were extremely strange and cold.

Ye Zang felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the space around him. They were talking, observing, and looking Ye Zang up and down.

Ye Zang looked tense for a moment.

His eyes were bloodshot and he took a step forward suddenly. In an instant, his purple palace opened wide and the terrifying Heaven-Destroying Dharma Body was summoned out, propping up a thousand feet high. Ye Zang was roaring like a giant demon Kuiniu, and the feeling of those whispers made him very uncomfortable.

Roar——

The roar of the Destroying Heaven Dharmakaya echoed in the empty, dark and strange place.

Dust was floating in the air, and the faint light from the sky was pouring down from above.

At this moment, Ye Zang's Dharma eyes seemed to have seen a magical place.

At the end of darkness, between reality and illusion, there is a void where space and time no longer exist.

It seemed to be inside a mountain, which was lush and green, like a fairyland on earth. In the mountain, there was a woman in silk and satin clothes circling and flying. Ye Zang felt light-headed for a moment, as if he was about to fly away.

However, he then saw an ancient stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, on which were engraved two ancient characters, called "Yunxian".

"Yuxian...That's Yuxian Ridge!" Ye Zang suddenly felt cold all over.

At this time, footsteps were heard behind him. Ye Zang turned around suddenly and found that it was Xue Ning from Shenyin Valley.

She was holding a silver-grey magic token, on which seemed to be engraved the pattern of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi, emitting a majestic and overbearing spiritual power.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, is it you?" Xue Ning walked over with some surprise.
