Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 792 Pei Yingying

Looking around, Chen Mu finally confirmed that his storage bag did not come here with him.

He sighed secretly and could only use his magic power to conjure up clothes to cover his body.

Suddenly his body shook again, his brows furrowed immediately, and he suddenly remembered the inherited soul flag.

At that time, he hurriedly took it into his body, but was suddenly burned by the immortal art. Now, except for the water lotus, there was nothing in his body. Obviously, the soul flag had disappeared under the influence of the immortal art...

"The storage bag is fine, but the soul flag must not be lost..."

Chen Mu murmured, even if the inheritance of the Soul Ancestor was put aside, Taixuan was still sleeping in it.

"I just don't know how long I slept. Has the demonic calamity from the outside world descended?"

If he had Taixuan's help, his plan in the demonic calamity could be realized to the greatest extent. For this reason alone, he had to go and look for him.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu looked around at the situation.

The Creation Lotus Pond has dried up, but water is still overflowing from the bottom of the pond at an extremely slow rate. It can be inferred that it would take at least tens of thousands of years to grow to its previous scale.

Apart from this, there is nothing else here, let alone any fluctuations in the array.

"Without the formation point, how did I get here?"

Chen Mu concentrated on exploring, pacing back and forth in this cave. His powerful consciousness was never idle for a moment, and he wanted to dig three feet into the ground.

Then he discovered that his spiritual sense could only penetrate a few feet into the cave and could not advance an inch, as if the space here was only this size.

His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "With the boundary wall blocking this place, could it be that this place is no longer within the Penglai Immortal Palace?"

He quickly concentrated his mind and tried to explore as much as possible. After passing through the surface hole, he saw the scene behind the barrier of nothingness.

The light and shadows are blurred, and smoke is everywhere. If this place is not the legendary void sky, then where else could it be?
Chen Mu's expression suddenly darkened, and the joy of his rebirth disappeared in an instant.

The Sky of Nothingness is a place where even the Yuanshen of a True Lord cannot easily roam freely. How can a weak Yuanying like him break through the boundary and leave?

For a while, his mood was full of ups and downs.

If he cannot break through the boundary, he can only practice in this place until he achieves the state of transformation into a god.

But the problem was that the spiritual energy here was not enough to support his cultivation. The formation period of the only spiritual object was too long, and he only had a lifespan of a thousand years. How could he wait...

There was a moment of silence in the room. Chen Mu's eyes moved and he fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, his spiritual consciousness attached to the boundary wall moved quietly, and he sensed a familiar brand fluctuation in the west of Xuwutian.

He paused, then looked in the direction of movement.

Amidst the interweaving of light and shadow, there was a wisp of dark mist slowly drifting. If it were not for the difference in color, it would almost merge into one with the void sky.

"Soul flag!"

Chen Mu was shocked and immediately understood.

It wasn't that the Soul Banner couldn't be brought here with him, but because he was carrying the immortal technique of burning his essence at that time, his Taoist body was burned out, and the Soul Banner had nowhere to stay, so it was regarded as an external object by the Immortal Palace and escaped into the void sky.

"In that case, if Jiumo and the other two hadn't been able to escape in time, they would have most likely been swept away into nothingness..."

A thought flashed through Chen Mu's mind, and then he looked at the soul flag outside.

There is always a way out. With such an unexpected change, his attempt to break through the boundary is no longer impossible.

"The soul flag has its own space, and because it is a treasure inherited from the immortals, it should be enough to protect me from escaping into the void for a while."

"The key now is whether we can summon the Soul Banner across this world wall..."

The distance between the two seems not far, but with this boundary wall, they are also close yet far away in another sense.

Even though Chen Mu has made progress now, he is not 100% sure of success.

He took a deep breath, and then without hesitation, he calmed his mind and used all his strength to activate the soul imprint.

Invisible forces spread out through the boundary wall, stirring up wisps of smoke.

One moment, two moments...

Time passed little by little, but the Soul Banner still did not move.

Chen Mu's heart was gloomy, but his expression did not change as he continued to release his divine thoughts.

This went on for who knows how long. Just when Chen Mu's heart was about to sink to the bottom, the dark mist suddenly shook, and then a whisper sounded in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Mu's eyes flickered, and he quickly replied, "Daoyou Taixuan? When did you wake up?"

Taixuan's voice was somewhat weak: "I also woke up not long ago. I noticed that the soul flag was lingering in the void sky. I thought you had fallen..."

Chen Mu sighed: "We'll talk about this later. Right now, I'm trapped in a small world and need help from fellow Taoists."

Tai Xuan was stunned for a moment: "It's hard for me to even get out now, how can I help you, fellow Taoist?"

"There's no need for you to show up. You just need to find the right time and use your soul flag to protect me when I break through the boundary and enter the void sky."

Taixuan pondered for a moment, feeling that he could do it, so he agreed, jokingly saying, "Void Sky is fraught with danger. If I'm a step slower, you'll be utterly terrified. Do you trust me so much?"

Chen Mu's tone sank. "As early as when we were in the Golden Palace, you, Daoist friend, had already proven it. How could I, Chen, be a treacherous person?"

Taixuan's heart gradually calmed down, and he nodded as if he had realized something belatedly, with a gleam of light in his eyes...

After the matter was settled, Chen Mu collected his mind into his body, concentrated his breath, and finally turned back to take a deep look at this precious land that brought him rebirth.

"If I am still alive after ten thousand years, I will return here..."

But if that time really happened, the immortal fate here might no longer be in his eyes...

Chen Mu's whole body shook, and his body turned into a clear light and rose up. At the same time, twelve dragon birds holding knives emerged. The two merged in mid-air, and in an instant, a sword light that covered the sky and the earth shot out from the cave.

Its sharp edge traversed this world, even faintly showing through, and slashed towards the wall of the world!
But there was a loud noise as if glass was breaking, and the crystal jade wall was split in two, and the obstruction was broken in an instant.

The next moment, light and shadows from the empty sky rolled over, and billowing smoke followed.

Chen Mu was able to cut through the boundary wall, but he couldn't stop this confusing crisscross. He couldn't help but shout out: "Where is Taixuan?!"

In an instant, a dark black light came flying, wrapped around the light and shadow, and wrapped him up.

At this moment, the light and shadow arrived, but it could not penetrate the dark fog. It passed by, and the void sky was once again filled with silence...

Chen Mu took a deep breath and finally felt relieved.

Taixuan felt the pressure, and after some speculation, he said, "With the current power of the Soul Banner, I can only protect you for three hours at most. If we can't find a weak spot to return to during this period, then you and I will both die here!"

Chen Mu nodded, his spiritual sense extended to determine the direction, and then, without wasting any more time, he drove the Soul Banner forward...

...In the northern region of the East China Sea, somewhere in an unknown sea area.

There is a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze. It is early spring in March, a perfect time of the year.

A ray of light flew in from afar, breaking the peaceful tranquility here.

If you look carefully, you can see through the light that it is a young woman riding a sword, flying across the vast ocean and heading towards Zhongzhou.

Her name is Pei Yingying, and she is the daughter of the head of the Pei family, a family of immortal cultivators in the Yaoxiu Sea. She has been spoiled since she was a child and has a very spoiled personality.

However, her talent is not bad. She has been practicing Taoism for only fifty years, but she has already achieved the perfection of foundation building. In addition, her father has given her many spiritual objects, so there is a widely circulated saying in Yaoxiu Sea that it is better to offend the Jindan Zhenren than to fight against the Pei family's Phoenix Girl.

Anyone with a little sophistication could tell that this was flattery, but Pei Yingying had been arrogant for a long time and didn't know her place, so how could she tell the difference?

After hearing this rumor, she not only did not curb her arrogance, but also felt that she was talented and could be on par with the rumored geniuses of Central China.

The reason for this trip was that she heard that the various sects in Central China wanted to recruit disciples, and she was tempted. So, while her father was in seclusion practicing, she secretly ran out to see the fun.

As for the demonic cultivators rampaging around him that her father often mentioned, telling her not to stray too far from home, she naturally forgot about it...

The vast world came into view, the clear blue sky reflected in her green pupils. She flew the sword against the wind, a few strands of hair fluttered in the air. Pei Yingying felt that the hazy beauty in her heart was becoming clearer and clearer.

As it was flying, it suddenly saw a small fish with brightly colored scales emerging from the water below. It rolled around in the sunlight, reflecting a rainbow of colors.

She glanced at it casually, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. She cried out, "Seven-color scale fish?"

She recognized that this fish was a rare spiritual fish on the list of spiritual beasts in the East China Sea. The so-called "Seven Wonders" refers to the seven delicate scales on the fish's body, which are colorful and have many uses.

Moreover, this fish is also a famous auspicious animal that brings good luck. Keeping it by your side can prolong your life and increase your luck and fortune.

But this fish is extremely rare and only lives in the deep sea, so it is usually difficult to find. Unexpectedly, she ran into one today. Judging from the fluctuations on its body, it must have completed its cultivation and awakened its spiritual intelligence, which makes it even more precious.

"Could it be that the immortals in heaven are hinting that I should have left home long ago?"

Pei Yingying was so excited that she quickly made a hand gesture, then stepped on the flying sword, pointed at the spirit fish below and said, "Go!"

The flying sword made a clear sound and carried her there at a great speed.

However, the fish reacted very quickly and swam very fast. Due to its small body and extremely flexible, Pei Yingying was afraid that it was too weak and did not dare to use magic power to capture it.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Pei Yingying couldn't help but feel annoyed, knowing that she couldn't catch the spirit fish. So she rolled her eyes, pinched her fingers and used a trick to make the "illusion" remain on the flying sword and chase it, while her real body leaped up and flew away, ready to outflank it from both ends.

As a result, the Seven-Colored Scaled Fish was soon chased to a corner and fled to an isolated island in panic.

Pei Yingying was overjoyed when she saw this, and quickly called for her flying sword to chase after him, hoping to catch the turtle in the jar again.

But in her excitement, she didn't notice that a short, fat old Taoist priest, as fat as a dry tree stump, had caught up with her not far behind her...

Pei Yingying chased the colorful-scaled fish to the sky above the isolated island, but suddenly lost the energy of the colorful-scaled fish. She thought that the spiritual fish had gone into a cave with complicated energy, but after circling the isolated island several times, there was still no trace of it, as if the spiritual fish had evaporated out of thin air.

"Strange, what's going on..."

She searched for a while longer, but still found nothing.

Looking at the calm sea in the distance and the lifeless island, she only then vaguely realized that something was wrong.

She first took out a pair of white jade beads to explore the surrounding fluctuations, and then she made a hand gesture and flew up with her sword, finding the right direction and rushing into the air.

However, after hiding for an incense stick of time, he still could not fly out of the isolated island.

She felt a little scared, as the fear of the unknown was the most tormenting, so she simply stopped and bravely shouted, "I am from the Yaoxiu Pei family. I passed by here and have disturbed any seniors? If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me..."

There was silence all around, no response.

Pei Yingying paused for a moment, and was about to stand up and try to fly away again when she suddenly heard a sinister laugh in her ear: "Where are you going, young lady?"

At the same time, a short and fat figure appeared in the air. It was the old Taoist priest just now.

Pei Yingying was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, but because she had confirmed that it was an ambush, her fear was relieved.

She glared, raised her eyebrows, and said with a puff, "Where did this filthy old Taoist come from? How dare he tease your grandma?!"

The short and fat old Taoist was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any anger at all. Instead, he smiled with a look of satisfaction and said, "What a hot-tempered little girl! Let me treat you well!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he mobilized the power of his golden elixir, obviously wanting to end the battle quickly.

"and many more!"

Pei Yingying showed no fear and said disdainfully, "Just so you know, I am the daughter of the Yaoxiu Pei family. If you still want to live in this world, run away quickly and don't say I didn't give you a chance."

The short and fat old Taoist laughed heartily: "How dare the Pei family, a mere family, go against us?!"

His body shook, and a ferocious demon flew out from behind him.

Pei Yingying snorted, "You are indeed a demon cultivator. Well, today I will let you see how powerful I am!"

She had been taught by her father for a long time, so she knew that this demon could not only devour flesh and blood, but also defile magical weapons. It was not afraid of being killed at all. It would be extremely difficult to use it to attack the enemy. She couldn't help but think to herself: "It seems that I should use the real sand to grind it into pieces!"

Thinking of this, she reached out and took out a long crane-necked bottle, pointed it at the demon, and sand flew all over the sky, making a deafening sound.

The demon's flying momentum suddenly slowed down, and the flying sand gathered together, which really wiped out a lot of demonic energy.

The short and fat old Taoist said, "You little bitch, you have quite a few treasures."

Pei Yingying proudly said loudly: "If you admit defeat now, everything is still in time."

"Admit defeat?"

The short and fat old Taoist grinned and said with a forced smile: "You really don't know your place..."

He shook his body, and a golden pill the size of a longan flew out and merged into the body of the demon.

The next moment, the ferocious demon became more and more ferocious. With a sudden struggle, he not only pushed back the flying sand, but also used the force to leap, creating a black cloud that shook back and forth.

They are said to be black clouds, but in fact they are tiny, extremely black insects and beasts. Because they are so densely packed together, they form the shape of black clouds.

Pei Yingying's magic weapon was broken, and her mind was lost. She was caught off guard and touched by the insect beast. In just a moment, blood was flowing on her right arm, and she was in extreme pain.

"what!"

A scream resounded through the sky, containing both pain and a bit of resistance and nausea.

Seeing this, the short and fat old Taoist laughed repeatedly, and at the same time he did not forget to shout: "Don't eat until there is not even a bone left, let me have a good meal first."

He swung his sleeves and strode forward, ready to capture Pei Yingying.

But at this moment, an inexplicable wave suddenly came from the sky not far away, mysterious mist filled the air, and bursts of roars were heard at the same time.

It was like someone was inside a prison, hammering at the locks, trying to escape...
