The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 466: Xuanqingjian

"It's good to have clues. I hope we can find it." Zhu Jingkong looked hopeful. The ghost fire was related to the future of the spirit witch clan, so he had to pay attention to it.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Zhu. Lord Lei's information cannot be wrong!" Tang Yan comforted.

"Yeah." Zhu Jingkong nodded. Given Lei Yu's identity, the information should be reliable.

Xuanqingjian is not very close, and even with the help of the Phantom Eagle, it will take a day to travel.

With nothing else to do, Tang Yan simply started practicing the "Five Elements Body Domination Technique".

He had already mastered the basics of this body-refining technique, and his skin and flesh were no longer afraid of ordinary ice blades. However, as he had used up all the five elements materials required for his goal, he had put his practice on hold.

Now that we have seized a large amount of supplies from Mingyou Valley, we can continue spending money.

He took out a piece of meteorite iron and practiced the body refining technique. After a short while, the gold energy of the meteorite iron was completely absorbed.

Tang Yan felt it carefully and shook his head in pain.

At this rate, refining the bones and muscles would require ten times the amount of materials required for entry. The huge amount of resources obtained from Mingyou Valley was about to be spent again.

No wonder the Stargazing Pavilion was willing to bring out this body-refining technique. If one wants to practice this technique to perfection, one may have to use the resources of an entire sect. Unless one is a truly top-level force, they really cannot afford this kind of technique.

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

When Tang Yan had consumed all the wood energy from the ancient green-veined tree, Zhu Jingkong could no longer bear the doubt and asked, "Mr. Tang, what kind of martial arts are you practicing? Why is it that I only absorb energy but don't see any increase in my cultivation?"

Tang Yan: “…”

After a moment of silence, Tang Yan explained quietly, "It's a kind of body-refining technique. There is growth, but it's very subtle. I've already practiced it, it would be a pity to give up, so I might as well try to practice it downwards."

Zhu Jingkong opened his mouth and agreed after a while: "This technique is quite unique!"

"Yeah." Tang Yan responded sullenly.

After about an hour, Zhu Jingkong looked at the surroundings and said in a loud voice, "We have arrived at Xuanqingjian."

Tang Yan stood on the Phantom Sculpture and looked down. He saw the mountains and hills below, the fog was thick, and the environment was dim.

A little further away, it was so foggy that you couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Tang Yan commanded the Phantom Eagle to land.

This is a valley surrounded by trees and visibility is very low.

"Patriarch Zhu, please be careful and change your attire." Tang Yan reminded him, then he wiped his face with his hand and instantly turned into an ordinary-looking young man.

"Okay." Zhu Jingkong knew that it is better to be safe than sorry, so he did not refuse and changed his appearance.

Tang Yan took out the Spirit Fire Compass. The compass needle was quiet for a while, then began to rotate slowly. After a while, it stopped in one direction.

"Over there!" Tang Yan was delighted, and he and Zhu Jingkong quickly rushed in the direction of the pointer.

The further they went in, the thicker the fog became. After they climbed over a hill, they couldn't see the scenery thirty feet away even with their level of cultivation.

At this moment, the needle on the compass was spinning again, and the speed was getting faster and faster, with no intention of stopping at all.

"This... compass is broken?" Tang Yan was dumbfounded.

Zhu Jingkong let go of his breath, formed a seal with his hands, and a strange and profound rune appeared. He pushed it forward gently, and the rune advanced a few feet before suddenly disappearing.

"The fog here is very strange. It has the effect of hindering divine consciousness and preventing us from exploring further away. Perhaps this is the reason why the compass malfunctions. I will try to drive away the fog."

After saying that, Zhu Jingkong formed seals on his hands again.

A bright mark appeared, and then slowly rose up. The mark contained a huge power, and suddenly exploded in mid-air.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a violent wind blew in all directions, and Tang Yan and Zhu Jingkong's clothes were rustling.

But the surrounding fog was not affected at all and was not blown away at all, as if the main body was not in this space.

Both of them felt mixed emotions.

What's gratifying is that when this kind of strange phenomenon appears, there is usually a rare treasure, and the ghost fire is most likely here.

The worrying thing is that with these fogs blocking the way, searching for the spiritual fire is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Mr. Tang, did Lord Thunder tell us how to deal with this fog?" Zhu Jingkong asked.

Tang Yan shook his head: "No, these mists may have been formed later, and the Thunder Territory Lord is not clear about the situation."

Zhu Jingkong looked around, hoping to find a way to break the impasse.

Tang Yan released his Tai Chi heart and sensed the mist floating in the air. Faintly, he could feel a subtle spiritual thought in the mist.

Tang Yan was shocked. This kind of aura could be described as "evil".

If it continues to develop, these mists are likely to turn into real divine thoughts and attack living beings.

Yunyou has the function of nourishing the soul, and these mists are likely to be affected by Yunyou.

Tang Yan's mind was turning over a lot, and as he was hesitating, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

In Guanqi's inheritance, in addition to the "Heart Formation Inheritance", there are three other formations.

Among them, the Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation can condense the pure thunder power between heaven and earth to suppress some evil spirits.

I wonder if it has any effect on these mists?

"Let me try!" Tang Yan said, and he flew into the air.

Looking at the white fog below him that completely covered the mountains and forests, Tang Yan's mind moved, and a formation appeared in front of him, and then the formation continued to expand.

The power of these mists is not strong, and Tang Yan does not pursue the power of the formation, but only asks for a large enough coverage area.

Soon, the formation covered the mountain range.

"go with!"

Countless purple and white lights, like a huge net, spread in the diffuse fog, with great momentum and magnificent scenery.

Then the fog dissipated out of thin air, as if it had never appeared.

This piece of forest finally revealed its full appearance.

Tang Yan looked carefully and saw that there were endless mountains here. Rivers and streams were reflected in the strange peaks and steep mountains, and the scenery looked magnificent.

The needle of the spiritual fire compass finally stopped moving and fixed on the northwest direction.

"Mr. Tang has great skills. I admire him!" Zhu Jingkong couldn't help but exclaim.

"There happens to be a way to restrain it. Let's go and take a look over there." Tang Yan pointed to the distance.

There, two cliffs tower into the clouds, forming a steep canyon.

The two of them flashed and quickly rushed towards the canyon, appearing at the entrance of the canyon in the blink of an eye.

The canyon is only six feet wide and is not a straight line. You can't see the end at a glance and I don't know how deep it is.

After walking in, the light suddenly dimmed.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but even though my strength has reached the ninth level of the innate realm, and I have the Tai Chi Heart to assist me, I still can’t see clearly.

After walking a few steps, Tang Yan reminded: "There is an ancient..."

Before he could utter the word "strange", Tang Yan was startled, as if his ankle was suddenly grabbed by two hands.

The true energy shook, but it didn't break open. When he looked down, he found that it was a dark green vine.

The vines seemed to have life, climbing up quickly along the ankles.

A long sword suddenly appeared in his hand and he chopped at the vines.

"Crack!"

This long sword is called "Moon Shadow Sword". It is a treasure collected by Mingyou Valley and its blade is extremely sharp.

The sword swept across and the vines were immediately cut off.

There was dark green juice on his trouser legs, which had been corroded and torn.

It should be because he practiced the Five Elements Body Domination Technique. Even though the vines are extremely poisonous, it has no effect on his skin and flesh.

The true qi shook the juice away, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhu Jingkong remind him: "Mr. Tang, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two talismans flew past him on both sides.

With two "bangs", the two thick vines turned into powder.
