There is always some kind of coincidence in everything in the world.
When Zhou Yang left the secret space with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and three other women, teleported out through the teleportation array established by Taoist Lan, and returned to the Zhou family.
[Tongtian Demon King], who sneaked into the boundless sand sea a few years in advance to trace the truth about the sand sea's resurgence, happened to find this side of the sinkhole.
The huge sinkhole and the special hardened land environment around it easily attracted the attention of the demon king.
When he went deep into the bottom of the sinkhole, it was just a bronze altar that Zhou Yang had randomly hidden with a set of fifth-order magic arrays, and it was immediately visible to him.
"A teleportation altar used by ancient monks to open certain secret spaces. It seems that it should have been used by Master Zhou."
"It's just that as far as I know, when this kind of teleportation altar was built, special activation spells and techniques were set. I don't know where Master Zhou got the relevant spells and techniques."
Deep underground in the sinkhole, the figure of [Tongtian Demon King] appeared on the bronze altar. He looked at the altar below with bright eyes and quickly identified the origin and purpose of this altar.
Many human monks know what kind of strange beast the [Tongtian Demon King] in the Duanyun Mountain Range is.
However, few human monks know that in addition to being highly skilled and powerful, [Tongtian Demon King] is also an extremely rare formation master among the demon clan, and is especially proficient in space teleportation formations.
He only took a few glances at the function of this bronze altar, and he already understood its function and origin.
However, even a formation master cannot use the bronze altar without knowing the correct spells and techniques.
The reason why ancient monks used this kind of bronze altar to open various secret spaces, instead of the teleportation array commonly used in the world of immortality today, is because its confidentiality is high enough.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. It's a pity that although I can't use this altar, it doesn't mean that I can't enter the secret space that the altar leads to."
"Now let me take a look at what secrets you, Zhou Yang, are hiding!"
[Tongtian Demon King] A look of pride flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a silver-gray spindle-shaped magic weapon.
"disease!"
With a low shout from his mouth, the silver-gray spindle flew in the void like the spindle in the hand of the Weaver Girl, intertwining thin silver-white threads.
If you look carefully, you will find that the silvery white thin lines are not real lines. They are clearly small space cracks formed after the void is cut.
These small space cracks only exist for a while, and will be repaired by the laws of world space, and will disappear as they come.
But even so, this scene is terrifying enough.
After all, space cracks are so powerful that even if a true immortal in the Tribulation Stage is accidentally hit by such a thing, his immortal body may be destroyed directly.
[Tongtian Demon King] Now the spindle-shaped magic weapon of the imperial envoy can actually cut through the void at will. No one would dare to believe it.
And just like this, after flying the magic weapon in the void for a while, [Tongtian Demon King] suddenly became happy, as if he had discovered something, and hurriedly injected a large amount of mana into the magic weapon, and shouted towards someone in the void.
It was pierced through hard.
"Split it open for me!"
Tear--
The void twisted and shook for a while, really like a piece of drawing paper, which was torn open by the spindle-shaped magic weapon with a crack half a foot long and a foot wide.
Then [Tongtian Demon King] moved, shrank his body under the protection of a burst of silver light, and jumped into the space crack.
And in that uninhabited secret space, a dark space crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a small green beast that looked like a tiger but had silver-gray sharp horns rushed out of the crack with a silvery light all over its body.
Officially arrived in the secret space.
The green little beast appeared in the secret space, and its body quickly expanded rapidly, turning into a giant beast dozens of feet long.
"Such a rich spiritual energy. Could this be the [Cave Heaven Secret Realm] opened by a true human immortal? Why is there no trace of Zhou Yang and others?"
The green giant beast's eyes curiously looked at this uninhabited secret space, and a look of confusion flashed in its eyes, almost doubting whether it was in the wrong place.
But the next moment, he seemed to have discovered something extremely extraordinary, and he screamed with trembling excitement: "Ah! It's the origin of space. There is actually the origin of space here!"
When the power of the origin of space that he had been searching for for thousands of years appeared in front of his eyes, no words could describe the excitement and excitement that [Tongtian Demon King] felt at this moment.
His opportunity to become enlightened, his opportunity to advance to the seventh level of true spirit, was finally found!
At this moment, he even forgot the fundamental purpose of coming here, and all his mind was spent on comprehending and absorbing the power of the origin of space.
[Blue Sky Beast] The biggest flaw of this powerful beast is that it does not have any true spirit bloodline.
For an alien beast without true spirit bloodline to advance to the seventh level of true spirit, the difficulty is no less difficult than for a low-grade spiritual root monk to reach the level of true immortal in the Tribulation Stage.
Ren Shi [Tongtian Demon King] is extremely talented and has vast magical powers, but because of this, he has been stuck for thousands of years without any hope of advancement.
Later, he visited an old man from the demon clan and found out through his guidance.
If you want to be promoted to the seventh-level true spirit, you can either choose to swallow a large amount of the seventh-level true spirit blood that contains the laws of space, and risk the bloodline conflict and death, and forcibly fuse it.
Or find the original power of space, let your bloodline be nourished by the power of this original law, and then naturally break the shackles of the bloodline and advance.
The former path, [Tongtian Demon King], is actually impossible to take, because the demon clan elder clearly told him that there has never been such a seventh-level true spirit whose bloodline contains spatial attributes in the "Linghuan Realm".
As for the latter path, [Tongtian Demon King] has been searching for thousands of years, and it was only today that he finally saw the dawn of hope.
However, [Tongtian Demon King], who was in an extremely excited state, obviously did not realize that this secret space had an owner.
And the master who controls the secret space is now in this secret space.
When he was concentrating on comprehending and absorbing the power of the origin of space, the owner of the secret realm quickly woke up from his dormancy due to the forcible intrusion of outsiders.
Taoist Lan, who once went to Tianzhu Peak with Zhou Yang to visit the [Tongtian Demon King], woke up and quickly recognized the identity of the intruder.
But this did not affect his determination and intensity in taking action at all.
Because if [Tongtian Demon King] is allowed to absorb the original power of space dispersed in the secret space, it will quickly accelerate the collapse of the entire secret space, causing his evolution to fail.
In fact, because [Tongtian Demon King] forcibly broke the space barrier and appeared here, it has caused a lot of damage to this secret space that was not so stable in the first place. This is also the reason why Taoist Lan woke up so quickly.
At this time, Taoist Lan, due to more than eighty years of practice, had integrated 30% of the essence from those colorful boulders into his own body, and his strength had greatly improved.
And because he is currently serving as the guardian of the secret space, his mana in this secret space can be said to be endless.
Coupled with the deliberate calculation and deliberate sneak attack, how can [Tongtian Demon King] be invincible!
After a fierce battle, [Tongtian Demon King] was seriously injured by Taoist Lan and escaped, escaping this secret space in embarrassment.
It's just that although Taoist Lan won, he didn't feel happy at all.
Because even though the two of them intentionally restrained their power to avoid damaging the secret space during the battle, the secret space was still severely damaged in their battle. At least one-fifth of the earth was directly swallowed by the Chaos Void.
"You must let fellow Daoist Zhou know about this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the [Tongtian Demon King] may take action against him once he recovers from his injuries!"
Taoist Lan thought about this and immediately used emergency communication methods to contact Zhou Yang who was on his way back to Zhou's home.
On the way, Zhou Yang received an urgent message from Taoist Lan, and his expression changed drastically, and he quickly led the people back to the secret space.
When he returned to the secret space and heard about what happened previously from Landao's mouth, his face instantly turned ugly.
"Now we're in trouble. The [Tongtian Demon King] has the most magical power in space. Since he can directly find this secret space and force his way in once, he can do it a second time!"
"This time, fellow Daoist Lan, you were able to wake up in time and drive him out with serious injuries. Next time, if he breaks in while you are asleep and attacks first, you may not be able to win as easily as this time!"
Zhou Yang's words still saved some Taoist Lan's face.
In fact, with the strength and means of [Tongtian Demon King], if he attacks first, Taoist Yilan is likely to be severely injured or even killed on the spot in his current state.
After all, Taoist Lan is now self-proclaimed among the colorful boulders, and many methods are inconvenient to use.
"Lan has somewhat guessed the reason why the [Tongtian Demon King] was able to find this place. If Lan's guess is correct, as long as Fellow Daoist Zhou destroys the bronze altar outside, he will never be able to find this place out of thin air."
"But with his wisdom, he can definitely guess that it was you, fellow Taoist Zhou, who did this. When the time comes, he will probably go to trouble you, fellow Taoist."
"Looking at Lan's performance after entering the secret space, he obviously desperately needs to absorb and fuse the space source power in the secret space to strengthen his bloodline, in order to reach the seventh-level true spirit realm!"
"Faced with the opportunity of enlightenment, the friendship between Zhou Daoyou and the Lei Yu True Spirit alone may not be enough to deter this [Tongtian Demon King]!"
After hearing what Taoist Lan said, Zhou Yang's expression suddenly changed.
He just said that Taoist Lan would be in trouble because he felt that based on his friendship with the True Spirit of Lei Yu, it would be impossible for [Tongtian Demon King] to take action against him and the Zhou family.
But after Taoist Lan's analysis, how could he dare to have such a mentality.
"What Fellow Taoist Lan reminded me is that Zhou was just lucky. If Fellow Taoist hadn't reminded him in time, Zhou would have almost made a big mistake!"
With a stern look on his face, he bowed his hands to Taoist Lan among the colorful boulders, expressed his gratitude, and then said to himself thoughtfully: "From this point of view, the only benefit is to share this secret space with him."
There’s a long way to go!”
Although Zhou Yang suffered a lot from sharing the benefits of this secret space, it was still better than becoming a mortal enemy with a powerful person like [Tongtian Demon King].
To put it into detail, he and [Tongtian Demon King] had no enmity in the first place, and it was not worth becoming a mortal enemy just because of this little conflict of interests.
However, after Taoist Lan in the colorful boulder heard what he said, he said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist Zhou wants to share the benefits of the secret space with others. Lan has no way to interfere, but Taoist Taoist Lan also knows that Lan must use this place."
Only a special environment can perfectly absorb and fuse the essence of the Five Elements Stone Clothes."
"But if the [Tongtian Demon King] is allowed to absorb the original power of space in this secret space, the secret space will inevitably collapse, but it will block Lan's path!"
Now Zhou Yang had a headache again.
If you don't compromise with [Tongtian Demon King] and let him enter the secret space, you will block [Tongtian Demon King]'s path and force him to become his mortal enemy.
But if [Tongtian Demon King] is allowed to enter the secret space, it will block Taoist Lan's path!
This is really an unsolvable problem.
"What should we do? Is there really no solution to both problems?"
Zhou Yang slapped his palms with a huge headache, not knowing what choice to make.
At this moment, Xiao Ying, who had been listening to his exchange with Taoist Lan, suddenly spoke up.
"Since my husband doesn't know what choice to make, why don't you tell the [Tongtian Demon King] directly about the difficulties? He has already been defeated by Fellow Daoist Lan once, and he should know that fighting against Fellow Daoist Lan in this secret space is the right thing to do.
There is absolutely no chance of winning, so he should have the headache of how to get fellow Taoist Lan to agree to him practicing here!"
Is this okay?
Zhou Yang couldn't help but look at the colorful boulder that Taoist Lan named himself.
Doing this would completely transfer the pressure to Taoist Lan, and extract him and the Zhou family. This was a very unjust act for Taoist Lan.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Lan was not angry, but calmly said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao's method is not a bad idea. If Lan is the only one here and takes the advantage, no matter how many times the [Tongtian Demon King] comes, he will eventually be defeated."
It’s just a lose-lose situation, and no one can achieve enlightenment!”
What else does Zhou Yang have to say now?
He suddenly gave a deep salute to the colorful boulder and said gratefully: "Thank you Taoist friend Lan for your understanding. Zhou understands that any words of thanks at this time are empty. He can only promise to Taoist friend that if [Tongtian Demon]
Wang] has really blocked fellow Taoist’s path this time, and Zhou will definitely behead him in the future to comfort fellow Taoist!”
"You don't need to be like this, Fellow Daoist Zhou. Since Lan made a bet on Fellow Daoist in the first place, he will not let Fellow Daoist die midway due to his own fault. As long as Fellow Daoist can overcome the calamity and become an immortal as soon as possible, ascend to the upper world, and complete his original mission to Lan."
Promise, there is nothing Lan cannot sacrifice!"
Taoist Lan's voice was as calm as ever, and even major events such as being blocked on the road seemed unable to shake his mind.
"Zhou understands. Fellow Taoist Lan, please look at Zhou's performance."
Zhou Yang responded solemnly, bowed to Taoist Lan again, and led the people out of the secret space.
A month later, Zhou Yang and his party successfully returned to Lingxi Peak.
Lingxi Peak at this time has undergone great changes from more than eighty years ago.
After the boundless sand sea is revived, the terrain changes caused not only affect the sand sea, but also have an impact on oases everywhere.
Among them, the influence on the Rhinoceros Island is very great.
First, there was the lake where Qingjiao Qingluo lived. Because many underground waterways suddenly merged and connected in series due to changes in the terrain, the water flow increased greatly, causing the area of the lake to expand several times, allowing her to overfulfill the tasks given by Zhou Yang at that time.
.
Now the lake is 300 miles long and 1,780 miles wide, becoming the real "Lake of Life" in the entire oasis.
Then there is Lingxi Peak.
This highest mountain on the Rhinoceros Island has also experienced twists and turns in the terrain changes, with many places collapsing and being damaged, causing great losses to the Zhou family.
Later, Zhou Liangyu simply did not do anything, and instead directly mobilized several golden elixir-level monks from his family, and invited Qingjiao Qingluo to help, he directly rebuilt Lingshan Mountain, and used the monks' magical powers to raise the height of the mountain by five points based on the original peak.
It is 600 feet tall and has built several auxiliary peaks.
Until now, some man-made projects on this spiritual mountain are still in progress.
"My child has met his father and his mother. Congratulations to your father for his great magical power."
On Lingxi Peak, when Zhou Guangcheng saw his parents returning, he immediately came up to worship them, his face full of joy.
He has been under great pressure in the past few years. He has to deal with the interrogations of Nascent Soul stage monks from several powerful forces on his own. It is not an easy task for someone like him who has not had the experience of acting alone.
"Cheng'er, you did quite well this time. Later, you can meet the fellow Taoists who are waiting here with your father."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly to his son and praised him generously, affirming his performance.
This kind of affirmation from his father is undoubtedly the best gift for Zhou Guangcheng.
With a smile on his face, he quickly responded: "My child, I obey."
At this time, there were three outsiders in the Nascent Soul Stage waiting on Lingxi Peak, all of whom came from the realm of immortal cultivation in the far west.
Among them, except for the monk surnamed Wang from the Great Light Immortal Palace who had been to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality once, the other two were from the [Backlight Alliance].
After Zhou Yang returned, he quickly asked Zhou Guangcheng to call in the monk surnamed Wang from the Great Guangming Immortal Palace for questioning.
After he listened to Yin Hanguang's words relayed by the monk surnamed Wang, he suddenly laughed and said: "It turns out that the heroes have similar opinions. Palace Master Yin is indeed Zhou's confidant. He actually knows everything about Zhou's thoughts!"
After laughing, his eyes flashed again, and he looked at the monk surnamed Wang and said: "But other conditions are easy to negotiate. Regarding the fact that the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World belongs to the Far West Cultivation World, I still need Fellow Daoist Wang to tell him when he returns.
Palace Master Yin, let him think about it more!"
Having said this, he did not wait for the monk surnamed Wang to speak, and said in a faint tone: "Actually, from the standpoint of Zhou and the Zhou family, as long as the Great Guangming Immortal Palace recognizes the Zhou family's separatist rule over the Boundless Sand Sea, it will not
You must have this title.”
"But if the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World will still belong to the Far West Cultivation World in the future, will the Zhou family become stronger in the future and be able to try to challenge the dominance of the Immortal Palace over the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World? After all, no one wants to spend their whole life
Aren't you willing to be subordinate to others and become a vassal?"
The face of the monk surnamed Wang suddenly changed drastically and instantly became extremely ugly.
What Zhou Yang said was not polite at all, and the meaning revealed in it also frightened him.
He looked at Zhou Yang with an expression of shock and anger, wanting to scold Zhou Yang for his treason and ambition, but he did not dare to really speak out.
When Zhou Yang first returned, the aura of the eighth level of Yuan Ying's cultivation had no intention of hiding it at all.
Although the monk surnamed Wang is also a Nascent Soul monk, he still doesn't have the courage to angrily rebuke Zhou Yang to his face.
"Let's see, Zhou sees that fellow Taoist Wang can't make the decision on this matter, so he might as well ask fellow Taoist to make two more trips to bring Zhou's words back to Palace Master Yin first, and let Palace Master Yin make the decision!"
Zhou Yang glanced at the monk surnamed Wang with an indifferent expression, waved his hand, and sent him back.
"Wang will definitely tell the truth to the Palace Master about what Fellow Daoist Zhou said!"
The monk surnamed Wang left a word in an angry tone and left Lingxi Peak in embarrassment.
Zhou Yang naturally would not take the words of the monk named Wang to heart. He believed that Yin Hanguang would make the right choice after learning that he had been promoted to the eighth level of Nascent Soul.
So after the monk surnamed Wang left, he summoned two Nascent Soul monks from the [Backlight Alliance].
His attitude towards the monks from the [Backlight Alliance] was not as good as towards the monk named Wang. As soon as they met, he got straight to the point and asked: "The two fellow Taoists must have known about the grudges between Zhou and the [Backlight Alliance] when they came.
I understand, I wonder what conditions the two fellow Taoists brought to Zhou when they came to see him this time?"
His straightforward words immediately made the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the [Backlight Alliance] feel embarrassed. One of them, a Nascent Soul cultivator named Lin, immediately coughed and said: "Ahem, cough, cough, Master Zhou's words are harsh. This alliance and Zhou
The past grievances and disputes of Zhenren were all caused by Guo Jinhong and a group of people, and these people have also paid the price for their stupid behavior. Most Taoist friends in this alliance actually have no hatred towards fellow Taoists!"
After Zhou Yang heard this, he looked at them with a half-smile and continued to ask: "What about [Tianlei Zhenren] Lei Wanpeng? He was your previous leader, and he died under the joint efforts of Zhou and Yin Hanguang. You guys also
Can you ignore it?"
The monk surnamed Lin seemed to have guessed that he would mention this matter, and immediately said righteously: "Leader Lei fell at the hands of the seventh-level immortal weapon [Skull of Light]. We all saw this with our own eyes.
See!"
After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Zhou Yang would ask about other embarrassing things, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "What's more, when it comes to hatred, when Zhou Daoyou was cultivating in Zifuqi, didn't he replace us?"
[Backlight Alliance] participated in a death duel and killed three Great Light Immortal Palace golden elixir seeds with your own hands?"
When another Yuanying monk named Cheng heard this, he immediately said: "What Fellow Daoist Lin said is absolutely true. Since the Great Light Immortal Palace was able to accept Fellow Daoist Zhou regardless of past grudges, I [Backlight Alliance] are naturally more sincere than them.
I am sincere and willing to resolve past grudges with fellow Taoist Zhou and become an ally!"
When Zhou Yang heard their words of harmony, he felt funny in his heart.
If Guo Jinhong, Lei Wanpeng and others knew that after their death, they would be treated like this by the other monks of the [Backlight Alliance] who worked hard for them, I wonder what they would think!
But this is the world of immortality!
The weak eat the strong, strength is the right!
Therefore, he did not correct the mistakes and loopholes in their words, and directly waved his hands and said: "Okay, since you are all willing to wipe out the past grievances, there is no reason for Zhou to embarrass you, right?"
"But let's not talk about forming allies. Zhou and Yin Hanguang, the current master of the Great Guangming Immortal Palace, have a life-long friendship. How can he form an ally with his enemy to deal with him?"
Lin and Cheng, two Nascent Soul cultivators from the [Backlight Alliance], heard his words. They looked happy at first, and then were surprised. They quickly said: "Why do you have to refuse, fellow Daoist Zhou, in a hurry? Why don't you listen to our conditions first?"
What’s the decision?”
"Yes, yes, so what if Fellow Daoist Zhou and Yin Hanguang are friends? Then Yin Hanguang is already dying. Why would Fellow Daoist Zhou tie himself to the broken ship of the Great Bright Immortal Palace for him, a dying person!"
