After seeing the two of them breathing heavily, Qianchong Zhenjun smiled slightly and continued, "Now, embed this spirit stone into the slot. After that, I will cast a spell to activate it, and you can be teleported!"
Li Yan and Zhao Min had just recovered from the immense pressure. Hearing this, they hurriedly bowed in salute.
"Then we will have to trouble you, Senior!"
"It's just one spirit stone. After you leave, I still have many things to do.
Since you don't want the 'Sacred Demon Palace' to discover your tracks, this place can no longer be left unattended as before. I have to seal this place to ensure that no one can find it."
"Didn't Senior say that crossing realms requires the escort of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Does that mean we have to hide in that magical treasure space again?"
This time, it was Zhao Min who spoke in surprise.
She thought the other party would escort them over, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Zhao Min already knew the power of Li Yan's spatial magical treasure. Even two Spirit Transformation cultivators couldn't break its defensive restrictions for a while, which showed how sturdy it was.
After hearing Qianchong Zhenjun's words, Zhao Min immediately thought of this magical treasure. As long as she and Li Yan hid inside, they should be able to resist the teleportation force.
But this method was very risky, because they didn't know what the situation was on the other side of the teleportation grand formation. If someone was waiting, they might be blocked inside before they could even get out of the magical treasure.
Li Yan also had doubts in his heart. He hadn't brought up this question just now because he thought his Martial Uncle would escort them to the other side and then return.
"If you enter that spatial magical treasure, you can of course avoid the great tearing force brought by the teleportation.
However, as you are worried, no one knows what the situation is on the other side.
But I will cast a spell on you, so there's no need for me to escort you personally..."
He paused abruptly in the middle of his sentence, then looked behind Li Yan and Zhao Min, in the direction they had come from.
Seeing this, Li Yan and Zhao Min thought something had happened. Before they could turn around, their Divine Senses had already spread out in all directions.
At the same time, their hearts tightened. Their first thought was that the Supreme Elders of the "Sacred Demon Palace" had come after them.
But unfortunately, they did not find any abnormalities.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Li Yan looked at Qianchong Zhenjun, who had already regained his composure in front of them.
"Oh, a few little demonic beasts have come to the gate. They are kneeling on the ground and begging me to take them away from this place.
This is a bit strange. I remember these demonic beasts didn't know there was a teleportation formation here?"
Zhao Min was not familiar with this place. Hearing this, she felt it was very strange. But Li Yan's heart moved. He remembered some information he had obtained from soul-searching back then.
'It seems Senior Brother Pei didn't tell Martial Uncle some of the things he said to the 'Dark Spirit Demon Bats' when he left here!'
Thinking of this, Li Yan first said to Zhao Min, "Senior Sister, I came here decades ago with the cultivators of 'Falling Star Valley' to search for treasure.
At that time, I also wanted to open this cave residence, but thinking about it now, it was really overestimating myself.
The demonic beasts outside are the 'Dark Spirit Demon Bat' clan that guards this place. I once fought with them. It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail later."
At the same time, Li Yan had already transmitted a message to Qianchong Zhenjun in his heart, telling him the information he had obtained from soul-searching.
Qianchong Zhenjun immediately understood. Pei Buchong would only tell him important things like the existence of a cross-realm teleportation grand formation. He couldn't possibly explain everything in detail.
For them, they couldn't even be bothered to listen to such things on a normal day.
"Oh, I understand. So Bu Chong told them that if someone could enter this cave residence, it would be their hope of rebirth. Hmm, at that time, Bu Chong probably left in a hurry after finding no clues here. With Bu Chong's cultivation back then, he knew a little about the law of time, which is why he said that.
But it was also just a guess. The law of time is too profound. Even I, without special study, cannot be sure of the result.
I cannot guarantee that after these demonic beasts leave here, in another space, they will be re-recognized by the laws of heaven and earth there. There might only be a twenty percent hope of survival!"
He quickly sent these words back via voice transmission.
At this time, Li Yan had just quickly explained a little to Zhao Min. He hesitated for a moment.
"Senior, is this teleportation grand formation undoubtedly leading to the Verdant Continent?"
Qianchong Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. He had already understood Li Yan's meaning and couldn't help but look at Li Yan more favorably.
"This disciple of Junior Brother Dong Fu is extremely quick-witted. In just a moment, he has already thought about future matters. I don't think even Bu Chong has this ability to take ten steps ahead with one. This kind of disciple is exactly what the Five Immortal Sects need."
Every disciple of the Five Immortal Sects was recruited with great difficulty and could not be allowed to die prematurely. Therefore, it was required that everyone not only be powerful but also have a meticulous mind.
Only in this way could they live longer and longer, allowing the sect's inheritance to continue.
"You have been here before, and you also know that this group of demonic beasts was subdued by the experts of the Verdant Continent.
And the 'Chencang Passage' here further indicates that it would only appear in a great war. And there was only one great war between the two realms on the Forsaken Continent.
This is enough to explain everything. It's eighty to ninety percent certain that it leads to the Verdant Continent!"
"Then, Senior, if you take them away from here, can this teleportation grand formation teleport several hundred people at once? After all, their clan is quite large."
"Just put them in a spirit-storing pouch, or directly into your spatial magical treasure, and it will be fine, just like the demonic beasts in your storage space!"
Listening to the two of them asking and answering, Zhao Min was a little confused, not knowing what they were talking about.
Why did they want to take these demonic beasts away?
Didn't Junior Brother say that he had fought with the demonic beasts here? Since he didn't specifically go looking for the other party this time, it meant that their relationship was not the so-called "heroes cherish heroes."
Although she had many questions in her heart, Zhao Min just stood quietly to the side, her lips tightly sealed, with no intention of asking.
Her personality had always been like this. If a problem needed to be solved by force, she would directly do it.
If it couldn't be solved by force, and the other party could tell her, they would naturally tell her.
Her appearance made even Qianchong Zhenjun, who had seen all kinds of cultivators, feel amazed in his heart.
'This little girl is really strange, unusually quiet. Just this point alone makes her not annoying!'
"Alright, since it's like this, Senior, shall we go out and have a look?"
Outside the "Celestial Spirit Grotto," the five senior brothers and sisters of Meng Zhiyuan had all transformed into human form and were kneeling on the ground in a row, with Meng Zhiyuan in the middle. The five of them were constantly kowtowing.
They didn't use any spiritual power to protect themselves. At this time, large patches of bloodstains had already appeared on their foreheads, and they looked very miserable.
Before, when they saw two people coming over and saw Li Yan's appearance at a glance, their first reaction was extreme anger.
It was this person who had made them use the "Shrinking the Land to an Inch" formation and consumed about a hundred years of the forbidden land's grand formation's power.
Now, the forbidden land was on the verge of collapse. Every day, their clansmen were constantly dying, which made even Meng Zhiyuan feel despair. The day of their clan's annihilation was not far off.
Seeing Li Yan again, although they were angry, they did not immediately make a move.
Because the few of them couldn't sense the Daoist's cultivation aura at all and couldn't guess the other party's realm.
Meng Zhiyuan guessed that the other party had finally found a strong expert. This was to come and completely break the restrictions here.
If the other party succeeded, the forbidden land's formation would be instantly and completely destroyed, then today would be the day of their clan's memorial service.
After a little guesswork, Meng Zhiyuan and his senior brothers and sisters were both shocked and angry. They argued in the forbidden land. Some of them wanted to go out immediately and kill these two.
If the other party broke the grand formation's restrictions here, they would die anyway.
If they killed these two, they could get essence blood, golden cores, and even other treasures in their storage pouches. It would be good to extend the time here for a few years.
But Meng Zhiyuan disagreed. He had the highest cultivation here and was also the oldest.
He was the last remaining four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" from the war between the two realms.
Unlike his other junior brothers and sisters whose promotions were all helped by their masters, several six-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bats," at a later stage, at a great cost.
Although the injured soul from last time had not fully recovered, he believed in his own judgment. That Daoist definitely had the ability to kill them instantly.
This time, his few junior brothers did not listen to him anymore and argued with him. Only the fourth junior sister was in a dilemma, trying to persuade both sides.
And just as they were arguing, something that surprised everyone happened.
That person named Zhang Ming and the Daoist stood in front of the three sub-cave residences and talked in low voices for a few breaths. Then, to the dumbfounded eyes of the five, the Daoist's horsetail whisk suddenly rested on Zhang Ming's shoulder.
Then, without any obstruction, they took a step into the "Celestial Spirit Grotto."
For a time, the five people in the forbidden land became silent, their eyes wide open, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
They seemed to have seen this scene before, a long, long time ago, so long that they had already forgotten the time.
At that time, there was also a white-robed youth who had stepped in just like that.
Then, the youngest of the five, the fifth one, suddenly cried out.
"He... he... he went in, went... in, went in!!"
The words left by the white-robed youth back then made them wake up from their dreams every midnight with tears streaming down their faces.
Recalling the moment of reuniting with their clansmen in their dreams, their hearts were sad and suppressed.
"Quick, quick, quick..."
Meng Zhiyuan's lips trembled as he urged the other four junior brothers and sisters.
At this moment, not only could he not speak completely, but his body standing on the spot was trembling uncontrollably. He couldn't even move for a moment.
And the other four also had tears streaming down their faces like a spring, also trembling like a sieve, and could only say vaguely, "Quick... quick, go over, quick, second brother, I can't move..."
"Third brother, you go... go, I... I fucking... can't move either..."
"Eldest brother, you go quickly, don't let the senior leave..."
Just like that, after another three breaths, Meng Zhiyuan suddenly rushed out of the forbidden land.
While he was still in mid-air, he had already transformed into a thin, short, green-faced man with extremely red eyes. In a few flashes, he had already pounced in front of the "Celestial Spirit Grotto."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, help! Senior, help!!"
In the next few breaths, four more figures came like lightning, and with a "thud, thud, thud..." sound, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, constantly shouting, their voices mournful and their cries extremely sorrowful.
They were afraid that Li Yan didn't know the origin of the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" clan, so they no longer had any concealment. In their pleas, they constantly told the story of their clan's misfortune.
Their voices were filled with endless sorrow. Time passed quickly, and the stone surface in front of them was already a large patch of dazzling crimson.
"Eldest brother, are there other restrictions inside the cave residence? Fellow Daoist Zhang and that senior have already gone far, and our voices are being isolated!"
A black-faced, beardless middle-aged man said sorrowfully. He was the second senior brother here.
The cave residence in front of them was still as it was, quiet, without any movement, as if no one had ever appeared here...
