A month later, Liang Yan sat quietly in his cave and waited.
He knew that all his disciples had gone to form a mortal bond...
The journey of cultivating immortality is full of ups and downs, and even he, the master, is unsure of what the future will hold.
So, after leaving, I really don’t know when I will be able to come back.
In fact, in the past month, Liang Yan also had the idea of returning to Nanchui for a visit, but in the end he gave up the idea.
Once you set foot on this road, you can't look back...
"well."
Liang Yan sighed softly in the cave.
Although he is the lord of Wushuang City, there are not many people around him who can talk to him. Wuxin has left, and even Ah-Dai is missing.
A few days ago, Liang Yan wanted to have a drink with Ah-Dai, but he found that people at Shuiyue Cave had already disappeared.
He didn't even say goodbye when he left, which seemed to be his temperament.
Liang Yan smiled helplessly.
Footsteps gradually sounded outside the cave, one or two... Soon, all seven people arrived.
"Everyone, come in." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Yes, Master."
The door of the cave opened and seven disciples entered one after another.
"Meet Master!" Seven people saluted at the same time.
"Is everything settled?"
Li Xiran, Bai Qingruo, and Gu Xingyun looked at each other and responded in a low voice: "I'm done with this world, so I can go on my way with Master in peace."
"good."
Liang Yan nodded, didn't waste any time, waved his sleeves, and swept all the disciples with his escaping light.
Without any ceremony or notifying too many people, the second city lord of Wushuang City quietly left on this quiet night...
…………
Antarctic Fairy Continent is vast and boundless, Wushuang City is located in the south, separated from the east coast by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Even though Liang Yan had the cultivation level of the Tribulation Realm, and even though there were dozens of large and small teleportation circles on this road, it still took him half a year to reach the east coast.
This place was relatively close to Wanggui City, but Liang Yan came to the coast quietly without disturbing anyone.
There is a blue building boat floating here, and standing on the building boat is a young man wearing a white robe with an extraordinary temperament.
This person is none other than Wu Ci.
When he saw Liang Yan arriving, he immediately jumped off the boat.
"I have already inspected this blue sea ship for you. There is nothing wrong with it." Wu Ci said calmly.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Liang Yan smiled slightly.
It took Liang Yan decades to build the majestic sea-crossing ship in front of him, using the resources of Wushuang City.
But they say that there is a sea of suffering between the four continents of the human race. This sea of suffering is so dangerous and dangerous that no one who has the strength to overcome the two disasters can penetrate into it. If you want to cross the sea, you must at least have the cultivation level of the Sub-Sacred Realm.
Moreover, the speed of escape over the Sea of Bitterness is extremely slow, and it would take even Yasheng fifty or sixty years to reach the other side.
This is still a relatively smooth situation... There are many unpredictable risks in the sea of suffering. If you are unlucky, it may take hundreds or even hundreds of years.
The reason why Wuxin was able to cross the sea back then was because a demon master escorted her into the country and left a magical seal on her body that could resolve the "evil energy of reincarnation".
Except for her special case, ordinary people who want to cross the sea are simply wishful thinking...
Of course, with Liang Yan's current strength, he is not afraid of the dangers on the sea of suffering.
But he didn't want to waste decades or even hundreds of years wandering on the sea.
Therefore, during the years he has been the city lord, he has been secretly collecting the "Bilan Sacred Tree". This tree is extremely rare, but it can effectively restrain the "reincarnation evil spirit" of the sea of suffering.
A building boat made of this kind of spiritual wood can cross the sea at least twice as fast.
In other words, if everything goes well on this big sea-crossing ship, it will only take about twenty years to reach Dongyun Lingzhou.
Wu Ci sighed, took out a map from his sleeve and handed it to Liang Yan.
"It is said that Dongyun Lingzhou is different from Antarctic Fairy Continent. There are formation barriers along the coast and you cannot enter at will. You can only enter Dongyun Lingzhou through the designated entrance. Otherwise, even if you break in by force, you will
He was pursued by all forces."
"This is a chart I got by chance in the early years. It marks the nearest entrance to the Antarctic Fairy Continent. The city lord can land from here."
After hearing this, Liang Yan reached out to take the chart and unfolded it to take a look.
The middle part of the Sea of Bitterness is very blurry, and obviously the person who drew the map does not know what is there, but the location of the entrance is very clear, and the direction is also very clear.
"Alas, the sea of suffering is boundless! I have never gone out to explore the sea. I only have this chart for you. There is nothing else that can help you." Wu Ci sighed leisurely.
Liang Yan put the chart away and said solemnly: "What are you talking about, fellow Taoist Wu Ci? You have already given me a great help.
After saying that, he paused and said slowly: "After I leave... I'll leave Wushuang City in my hands."
"Don't worry, I will definitely devote my whole life to Wushuang City."
Wu Ci said with a smile on his face: "I hope that one day, I can see the city lord return, when you have ascended the throne and lead my Wushuang City to glory again."
"A saint..." Liang Yan murmured.
He didn't say anything more, but smiled and patted Wu Ci on the shoulder, and then led a group of disciples to board the building boat.
“See you later!”
“See you later!”
In the sound of farewell, the ship across the sea slowly started to move farther and farther on the sea...
…
…
In the world of cultivation, the years are long, like the endless flow of rivers, and like the difficulty of flying clouds to stop.
Spring passes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall, the stars change many times, and the sea changes many times.
The seasons change, as if they were just a snap of the fingers?
Twenty years later.
On the boundless sea of suffering, a large blue ship floats and sinks.
If you look closely, you will find that this big ship is actually in dilapidated state. Not only is the deck riddled with holes, but the ship's poles are also broken in many places.
Fortunately, there is still a layer of light blue glow covering the hull. It is the existence of this layer of barrier that prevents the evil spirit of reincarnation from invading the ship.
At this moment, Liang Yan was sitting at the stern of the boat preaching.
Li Xiran, Xiong Yuer and others were all listening attentively.
Although the surrounding environment is dangerous, these disciples are not afraid at all, because they all believe in their master's strength. Even if the ship across the sea cannot hold on, Liang Yan will take action.
Therefore, on this bumpy sea, everyone did not give up their cultivation.
For twenty years, there were no disputes or trivial matters. The seven of them devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training, and their swordsmanship skills increased day by day.
After a while, the sermon was finished and everyone was thinking about it.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, but it was because the deck of the sea crossing ship could not hold on, and a big hole was broken in the middle, causing the hull to begin to bend inward.
Li Xiran came back to his senses, went over to check the condition of the hull, and shook his head somewhat.
"Master, the corrosion caused by the evil spirit of reincarnation is too serious. I'm afraid this big ship won't be able to survive for a few more days..."
Liang Yan was not surprised after hearing this.
"It's okay. According to the map, we should arrive at the destination in half a day. Moreover, even if the map is wrong, I can put you into the gourd, but it will take a little more time.
.”
"I hope there are no mistakes in the labeling on the map." Li Xiran smiled slightly, she was still relatively optimistic.
After that, everyone was silent, either meditating or practicing quietly, or quietly recalling the content of Liang Yan's sermon just now.
Another day and night passed like this.
In the early morning of the next day, the shadow of the mainland finally appeared at the end of the sea of suffering!
Looking from a distance, we can see towering mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and a green coastline between the blue sky, white clouds and the sea, which looks extremely majestic.
"Master, we are here!" Li Mobai was the first to shout.
After all, he has not been practicing for a long time, and before he has given up his ordinary attachment, twenty years of wandering in the sea are boring and boring, and he has long been tired of it.
Therefore, when the coast of Dongyun Lingzhou appeared in sight, Li Mobai immediately jumped up from the futon, ran straight to the bow of the ship, and looked across the sea.
Li Xiran said with a smile: "Junior brother, don't yell or yell. When you are in a strange environment, you must listen to Master's arrangements."
"oh!"
Li Mobai nodded, but there was still excitement in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
In response, Liang Yan just smiled slightly.
His spiritual consciousness is among the top among the sub-sages. He has discovered the mainland a long time ago and also observed the shore.
Sure enough, as Wu Ci said, barriers and formations were arranged along the coast of Dongyun Lingzhou.
With his current strength, it would be easy to break through these barriers, but he was not sure whether there would be any clues.
After just weighing it in his mind for a moment, Liang Yan gave up his plan to enter Dongyun Lingzhou from other places.
After all, this time I was upright and had no need to offend these local forces. It was better to disembark from the border gate in an upright manner.
With this thought in his mind, Liang Yan did not change his route and continued to move forward.
Half an hour later, they approached the shore.
At this point, the big ship crossing the sea has run out of fuel and lights. It can be considered that it has completed its mission and is sinking little by little.
Liang Yan led his disciples to stand on the bow of the ship and looked around, only to see that the continent ahead was concave inward, forming an independent inland sea.
This inland sea is dozens of miles in diameter, and the sea water is actually divided into black and white. Between the flows, the scene of Yin and Yang Bagua is faintly revealed.
Looking over the sea, hundreds of Taoist temples are suspended, connected to each other by ladders, like a city suspended in mid-air.
"This entrance is so strange!" Li Mobai, Luo Tianxiang and others all sighed.
At this moment, in a Taoist temple near the sea, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded: "Who is this fellow Taoist coming to Dongyun Lingzhou? Please show me the customs clearance certificate!"
Liang Yan frowned slightly after hearing this.
He pondered for a moment, then raised his hands in the direction of the Taoist temple and said: "I am in Xia Liang Zhidao, from the Antarctic Fairy Continent. I have never heard of the 'Jade Certificate of Clearance' before... Do you dare to ask my friend, if you don't have this thing, you can't land?"
?”
"What, Antarctic Fairy Continent?"
Surprised voices rang out in the Taoist temple.
Immediately afterwards, two figures walked out of the Taoist temple.
Both of them were wearing black robes. One of them was handsome, with long flowing hair, eyebrows like ink paintings, and eyes like stars; the other was rough, with dark skin, short and messy hair, standing up like steel needles.
.
The two of them seemed to have discovered something strange, looking up and down at Liang Yan and others.
After a while, the dark-skinned man asked: "Fellow Taoist, are you really from Antarctica?"
Liang Yan felt strange, thought for a while, and replied: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Fellow Taoist, don't be surprised."
The dark-skinned man also felt that he was a little rude and said with a smile: "My wife, Mu Changfeng, has been on duty here for at least three hundred years, and I have never seen a monk from the Antarctic Immortal Continent."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person also said: "Don't say you haven't seen it before. Since this entrance was built, people have come to the Western Bitter Continent, the Northern Youhan Continent, and the Zhongtian Shenzhou, but there are no people from the Antarctic Fairy Continent.
The monks have arrived here."
After listening to the explanations of the two people, Liang Yan suddenly understood. No wonder they were so surprised. It turned out that no monks from the Antarctic Immortal Continent had arrived here in so many years...
Mu Changfeng muttered: "The situation of fellow Taoist is a bit special... Logically speaking, you cannot enter Dongyun Lingzhou without a customs clearance certificate, but you are coming from Antarctic Fairy Continent. This situation is unprecedented.
I don’t know how to deal with it.”
"Confused."
The handsome man next to him said: "Is it the way of hospitality for our Taoist alliance to leave people out in the open sea? Invite the people in first, and then pass the letter to Master Puji and let him make a decision."
"Too……"
Mu Changfeng nodded, flicked his sleeves, and twelve spiritual lights flew out.
Every ray of spiritual light is a formation flag!
As Mu Changfeng made hand gestures and muttered words, these formation flags fell around the inner sea, and an invisible wave soon appeared.
After a while, Mu Changfeng finished casting the spell and pointed with his hand.
The water in the inland sea rotates spontaneously, like a yin and yang disk, guiding Liang Yan's sea-crossing ship into the inland sea and slowly docking.
"This magic circle is somewhat mysterious." Liang Yan nodded secretly.
The next moment, he waved his sleeves and led the disciples to the coast of Dongyun Lingzhou.
The big ship behind him finally completed its mission. At this time, it sank little by little, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea...
"Come up."
Mu Changfeng controlled the array, and a ladder descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
Liang Yan did not hesitate and led his disciples up the ladder to the Taoist temple.
There is another world here, the internal space has expanded at least a thousand times, like a small valley, with lush ancient trees, waterfalls and springs, even colorful windmills, colorful orchards...it looks like it has a unique charm.
"Fellow Taoist, this is funny. The two of us have lived here for a long time, and the cave cannot be lifeless, so we have improved it many times. It is our hobby." Mu Changfeng said with a smile.
Liang Yan didn't care about this, but he smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoists, how can I enter the country?"
"Fellow Taoist, please be patient. Please wait here for a moment. I have sent someone to send a message to Master Puji. They will arrive in a short time. Let's see how Uncle Puji decides."
"That's fine." Liang Yan nodded.
Next, Mu Changfeng invited him and a group of disciples to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and ordered someone to make some good spiritual tea to entertain him. All the courtesy was not lacking, and he was not neglectful at all.
