"This wisp of divine will has been sleeping too deeply. I can only sense it when you use the 'Earthen Patch' at close range.
If they hadn't been refining the 'Earthen Patch' this time, causing this spatial magical treasure to resist, I might still not have been awakened.
Actually, before this, I seem to have had two faint senses of the 'Earthen Patch's' aura, but it was too weak. I was only a little dazed at the time."
Li Yan thought about it carefully and immediately understood Qianchong Zhenjun's meaning.
Although he had lived in "Sacred Demon City" for many years, he had rarely opened the "Earthen Patch" space in the city, usually using his storage pouch.
Occasionally, his Divine Sense would enter the "Earthen Patch," but that was not his main body entering. For a magical treasure that had already been refined, the entry of Divine Sense would not cause any fluctuations at all.
The two times Qianchong Zhenjun mentioned should be when he opened the "Earthen Patch" to bring Zhao Min in, and also when his physical body entered before.
These two times of opening the space would have caused brief spatial fluctuations.
"Hehe, speaking of which, I have something to tell you.
After you refine this magical treasure, as long as you don't perish, even I can only immerse a trace of my divine sense into it at present.
This is all because this treasure was refined by me, and I am particularly familiar with the formations inscribed in it.
Few people below the Void Refining realm can forcibly break the Divine Sense imprint you have left on it after refining it now!
When your cultivation reaches the Spirit Transformation stage and you refine this magical treasure again, then even if my main body comes in person, I will not be able to enter the 'Earthen Patch'."
A smile appeared on Qianchong Zhenjun's face.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for the gift of this treasure!"
Li Yan understood that Qianchong Zhenjun was dispelling his doubts after he had mentioned the "Earthen Patch."
After all, if anyone's magical treasure could be freely entered by its refiner, they would have hard feelings and a gap in their hearts.
On the other hand, Li Yan's cultivation was too shallow, and his Divine Sense imprint was too weak. In the face of absolute strength, some experts still had ways to forcibly break it.
"Alright, your skills are a bit mixed, but this is also your path of immortal cultivation. But you still need to remember the principle of not biting off more than you can chew.
Release your Divine Sense. I will seal some of your memories about the sect. At the same time, I will also instill the location of the sect in the Immortal Spirit Realm into it.
Lest you can't find the sect's location after ascending to the Immortal Spirit Realm in the future and have to ask around everywhere, which would attract the attention of others. Whether it's a blessing or a curse then will be hard to say."
Qianchong Zhenjun already knew from Li Yan's narration that Dong Fuyi hadn't told Li Yan the location of the sect back then.
The reason was probably that Dong Fuyi was considering whether Li Yan could escape from Strategist Ji, so he had some concerns and didn't tell him.
After more than ten breaths, Li Yan raised his head again. He sensed his Divine Sense and found nothing unusual.
He was too weak. Qianchong Zhenjun had just told him so many secrets. An extra layer of defense was also a form of protection for himself.
"Martial Uncle, my Senior Sister and I want to return to the Desolate Moon Continent as soon as possible. Does Martial Uncle have any way?"
Li Yan was no longer polite this time and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
"One way is to directly use the 'Sacred Demon Palace's' cross-realm grand formation to leave. I can also ask them to open it.
But you also told me about this little girl's special constitution. I don't think the 'Sacred Demon Palace' will be willing to give her up. Although I can intimidate them now, I can't always protect you.
Everyone has their own calamities and opportunities. If I interfere too much, it will create karma and affect their original fate. This is the worst path of immortal cultivation.
After the 'Sacred Demon Palace' knows you have gone to the Verdant Continent, they might secretly follow you. Therefore, this method is not a good choice.
Then there is another way, which is to use other means to leave quietly, so that they will completely lose their target."
Li Yan thought of what his Martial Uncle had said before and immediately bowed and said, "Martial Uncle, this disciple has thought of both of these ways. The first condition is too harsh. This disciple cannot even afford the spirit stones needed for the teleportation.
As for the second way, this disciple has also secretly investigated for many years but found nothing. Martial Uncle, you..."
"You do know how to listen to the wind. Indeed, I know of a place where one can leave the Forsaken Continent. It was discovered by your Senior Brother Bu Chong by chance back then and he later told me about it.
It's just that so many years have passed, and I have not personally gone to investigate it. I don't know if it still exists."
Li Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Please help me, Martial Uncle!"
"Hehe, I said it's just a possibility. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way.
Do you have anything else you need to deal with? If not, you can leave immediately!"
Qianchong Zhenjun was very decisive in his actions, without any procrastination.
"Martial Uncle, after leaving the Sacred Demon Palace, I still want to go to a shop in the city. There are some things that still need to be handled.
Also, the 'Sacred Demon Palace' will definitely find out my history. Will the 'Falling Star Valley' be implicated..."
Qianchong Zhenjun immediately interrupted Li Yan's worry.
"I understand what you mean, but from what you said before, 'Falling Star Valley' is a sect with a long history of inheritance here. They probably won't agree to leave the Forsaken Continent.
I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry!"
He casually stated Li Yan's thoughts. Li Yan was afraid that he would bring disaster to "Falling Star Valley" and wanted to take them all with him.
It was just that he had no clear direction for his own departure, let alone taking a whole sect with him. And he couldn't possibly expose the existence of the "Earthen Patch."
Then he would have to seal an entire sect in the "Earthen Patch" and take them away as if they were knocked out. The other party wouldn't agree to that either.
Qianchong Zhenjun casually told Li Yan not to worry and agreed to resolve this matter as if it were a trivial matter.
In Li Yan's eyes, that was such magnanimity. This was, after all, a confrontation with the "Sacred Demon Palace." A wisp of his Martial Uncle's divine will was enough to resist a top-tier sect on a continent.
In the dense forest, the white-haired youth and the beautiful woman continued to cast hand seals. Looking at the yellow light that was gradually lighting up, they were also extremely excited in their hearts.
It was so difficult for the two of them to refine it together, which showed what level this spatial magical treasure was.
Now, the white-haired youth even regretted letting Dao Yu narrate this matter in front of his junior sister. How good would it have been if this magical treasure belonged to him alone.
But now, from the perspective of the entire White Demon Clan, he was extremely reluctant to fight with this junior sister whose strength was only a step behind his.
So this spatial magical treasure could only be studied by the two of them before they considered how to deal with it.
And just at this moment, the point of yellow light they were refining in front of them swayed gently, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This sudden change left the white-haired youth and the beautiful woman completely stunned. This was a situation they had never dreamed would happen.
Any one of them was a top figure who could come and go as they pleased in this realm, let alone when they were joining forces to refine a magical treasure.
After being stunned for several breaths, they finally reacted.
"Was it refined until it collapsed and dissipated?"
They looked at each other in astonishment, both seeing the incredible expression in each other's eyes.
Immediately, their Divine Senses swept out in all directions. How could there be no spatial fluctuations at all when a spatial magical treasure collapsed?
Then there was another possibility, which was that this magical treasure itself had an extremely high-level artifact spirit, which had now broken free from the two of them's magical power and escaped.
But in their Divine Senses, the aura of that magical treasure in the surrounding area was completely empty.
Just as the two were in a state of shock and uncertainty, a cold voice suddenly sounded from above their heads. The voice falling into their ears was undoubtedly like a thunderclap on a clear day.
"Why did you attack my successor? Have the demon clan already forgotten the agreement of the past?"
"Who?"
The faces of the white-haired youth and the beautiful woman changed drastically. Without any movement, the two of them appeared in the sky above the dense forest.
This was within the heavily restricted "Sacred Demon Palace," and it was also the most highly defended rear mountain area.
With the two of them stationed here at the same time, a third voice suddenly appeared. Besides astonishment, a great chill rose up their backs.
Looking in the direction of the voice, at the top of the large tree where they had been standing just now, a yellow figure had appeared.
The person had a horsetail whisk draped over his left arm, and at the tip of his left index finger, a point of yellow light was floating and flickering. It was a Daoist.
The Daoist's eyes were filled with a cold indifference that disregarded everything, just coldly staring at the two of them.
"Who are you, and why have you come to my 'Sacred Demon Palace'?"
The white-haired youth didn't feel any magical power fluctuations from the other party, which made his heart turn even colder. Since he had advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage, when had such a thing ever happened to him?
'Isn't Spirit Transformation the top existence in this realm?'
His heart was full of questions, especially since he felt that he had faintly touched the threshold of the Void Refining realm. He usually regarded all beings on the Forsaken Continent as ants.
He was the Supreme Grand Elder of the White Demon Clan.
The beautiful woman at his side, however, remained silent, her pair of beautiful eyes fixed on the other party, the magical power on her body faintly fluctuating, ready to strike at any time.
The white-haired youth and his junior sister had both lost their usual composure. They had even ignored the Daoist's previous question and were still in a state of shock.
The Daoist at the top of the tree glanced at the two of them.
"You, without any reason, forced my successor into a magical treasure and even tried to refine it. You ask me who I am?
If it weren't for me sensing his life-and-death situation, would he have been killed by you? Don't you think the 'Sacred Demon Palace' should give me an explanation?"
"That little human cultivator is your disciple? That's just right. Why did he abduct a female disciple of my sect? On the contrary, you should explain a thing or two, right?"
The white-haired youth and the two of them were stunned upon hearing the Daoist's words, but their tone was equally cold and confrontational.
At the same time, the beautiful woman immediately sent a voice transmission to the white-haired youth.
"Senior Brother, I previously investigated that little cultivator's background. The information I got was that he is just an elder of a second-rate human sect called 'Falling Star Valley.'
A little Golden Core cultivator can be a sect elder. How could such a powerful existence with a mysterious background appear?
Unless that little cultivator was really Zhao Min's former sect mate. But didn't their master pass away long ago? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been reduced to such a state back then!"
The white-haired youth was stunned upon hearing his junior sister's voice transmission.
"A second-rate human sect? And possibly a former sect mate of Zhao Min?"
He felt a little confused for a moment.
"That female disciple you mentioned is also my successor. While I was away from the Forsaken Continent for so many years, your 'Sacred Demon Palace's' behavior has become more and more unrestrained."
The Daoist at the top of the tree coldly stared at the two people in the distance.
'It seems Zhao Min and that boy are indeed from the same sect. Their master probably didn't pass away...' the two exchanged a glance.
"Could you tell us your name?"
The aura on the white-haired youth's body was also slowly surging.
Although they couldn't see through the other party, allowing a cultivator to come and go freely in the "Sacred Demon Palace" was not something he could tolerate.
The two of them had reached their current position, and their talent and intelligence were both top-notch.
They were also the most tenacious of people. Their mission was to protect the "Sacred Demon Palace" until another late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator appeared.
Now, to be bullied like this on their own doorstep, they would not agree to it no matter what.
