Among the three people flying towards him, a young man with a slender body was the first to meet him. When he was a hundred feet away from Li Yan, he immediately stopped and looked at Li Yan up and down.
As several people approached, the auras exuding from their bodies became clearer and clearer.
Li Yan roughly judged that this young man with a slender body should be a Yuanying realm monk, while the other two seemed to be at the Golden Core stage.
Li Yan was immediately suspended in mid-air, and he looked at the other party warily.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
Seeing that Li Yan didn't answer his question, he asked sharply.
The slender young man raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Yan's face again, and then spoke.
"I am the deacon of the nearby 'Huangquan Dao'. My Taoist friends are very nervous. Why do you come to my sect's sphere of influence?"
"I'm just passing by. Why, can't I leave here? I remember the last time I passed by here, there was still no inspection!"
Li Yan still asked with a vigilant look on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, an 'evil spirit monk' has appeared in this area recently, please show me your token!"
The slender young man became impatient when he saw that Li Yan had not answered his questions.
The soul lamp of a deacon of their sect suddenly went out, which forced them to send more people to search everywhere.
"It turns out that an 'evil spirit monk' appeared, but I'm just a casual cultivator and I don't have any tokens anymore!"
"A casual cultivator?"
After the slender young man heard this, his eyes immediately became alert.
At the same time, the soul power on his body began to fluctuate slightly. Without turning his head, he said to a short and stocky monk behind him.
"Please ask this fellow Taoist to test it!"
When a short and sturdy monk behind him heard this, he also fixed his eyes firmly on Li Yan. At the same time, he swayed slightly and then reached the front.
At the same time, a ray of light flashed in his hand, and an octagonal object shaped like a formation compass appeared in his hand, and he casually sacrificed it in the air.
Then, while staring at Li Yan, the three people immediately glanced at this object from the corner of their eyes.
Although the distance between the two sides was hundreds of feet, Li Yan had keen eyesight. He saw at a glance that after this thing appeared, there were four red light spots flashing on it.
From the brightness, two strong points and two weak ones can be distinguished. One strong point and two weak points are relatively close to each other, while the other brighter light point is separated from the three light points by a certain distance.
When they saw the four red light spots clearly, the expressions on the faces of the three people relaxed slightly at first, and then looked at Li Yan, as if they were waiting for something.
Li Yan secretly thought it was a fluke. If he had met the gray-haired old man a few days ago, he really would not have known what this thing was used for.
This is a magic weapon refined by "Huangquan Dao". It can directly detect the strength of a monk's soul power without using magic.
Red soul and black soul, generally speaking, soul cultivation is mainly based on cultivating soul power, supplemented by courage, so most of the magic weapons are used to detect soul power.
This detection magic weapon has two functions, one of which is to show the fluctuations in the soul power of nearby creatures like what Li Yan saw in front of him.
This is basically similar to the magic weapons that I saw in the hands of some monks a few days ago, but the shapes of the magic weapons refined by different sects are different.
The four red light spots displayed on it represent the soul power of the four of them. After seeing the distribution of the four red light spots clearly, Li Yan was also moved in his heart.
My soul power is really not weak, it is almost different from this monk with a slender body, and the red color is even more vivid.
It seemed that the hardships I had endured for more than ten years were not in vain.
But think about it, during those more than ten years, Li Yan, Zhao Min, and Zi Kun fought almost day and night. After being beaten to death by various soul arts time and time again, they continued to move forward again and again.
Thinking about it, it is difficult for any soul cultivator to reach that level of life-threatening cultivation. After all, they are not cultivating inside, but want to break through and leave.
Li Yan said no more, raised a finger, moved forward through the air, pressed lightly on the octagonal object, the void, and then quickly retracted his finger.
Suddenly, on the octagonal object, there were two light pillars, one black and one red, as thick as a little finger, which immediately rose up as Li Yan pointed with his finger.
After Li Yan withdrew his finger, the two-color light beam disappeared.
After seeing the two colored light pillars rising, I
The three people headed by the slender young man relaxed their guarded expressions.
Only a soul cultivator can easily call upon the power of the soul, and he can do it with a wave of his hand.
Although Li Yan only had a rough look at the introductory methods, he was proficient in "pulling souls to kill", so basically after mastering the techniques, he could quickly master the power of stimulating souls.
"Then, fellow Taoist invites you!"
The young man with a slender body was also cheerful. He immediately clasped his fists at Li Yan. The opponent was also a Nascent Soul level monk. Even if he was a casual cultivator, he was still of the same level, so he was more polite.
Li Yan nodded, stopped talking, and flew forward.
"Oh, by the way, if this fellow Taoist finds traces of the 'evil spirit monk', he must be careful. It is best to find a sect or family nearby as soon as possible and pass the information to them as soon as possible.
The number of 'evil spirit monks' who have entered recently is unknown. They are either Nascent Soul monks with a large number of people, or powerful people with extremely high levels of cultivation.
From the news I learned, two monks have died quietly, and among them there was a strong man in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Just when Li Yang had just flown a certain distance, the voice of a slender young man came from behind him again.
"Thank you!"
After Li Yan's figure paused for a moment, his voice came out in the distance and then disappeared.
"Okay, there is nothing wrong with this person, you can continue searching!"
After Li Yan disappeared, a voice suddenly sounded from the void. The voice came very suddenly, but it did not come from those three people.
After hearing the words, the slender young man and the other three people immediately bowed to the void somewhere.
"yes!"
Then, the three of them continued to fly in the same direction!
They were setting a bait to lure the enemy. If they continued patrolling the world with a slender young man, once the enemy encountered them, they would basically kill them and silence them.
The "Evil Spirit Monk" has killed two monks without any scruples in the past few days, and has left very few clues. All this further demonstrates the super strength of the other party.
"Huang Quan Dao" carefully investigated the place where the gray-haired old man disappeared, and through various means, found that there were almost no traces of the fight there, and the formation set up by the gray-haired old man was still there.
Various signs indicate that there should be three to five "evil spirit monks" entering, and they will act ruthlessly and decisively, or they will not take action, and they will be killed if they do.
Not only did they show no mercy to mortals, even a strong monk in the late Nascent Soul stage was captured alive by the opponent after only fighting for five to ten breaths.
It was only after interrogation that he killed the gray-haired old man and completely erased all traces.
But what surprised "Huang Quan Dao" was that they were soul cultivators, the monks who knew the soul most deeply. When a person dies, as long as the soul disappears into the void, they can track the soul lantern left by the sect and trace it.
of.
Even if the other party has cover-up methods, they can at least confirm the approximate range of the final soul's disappearance.
But even the sect's god-transforming monks couldn't find out where he died with the gray-haired old man's extinguished soul lamp.
This shows that the other party either has a magic weapon that can cover up the rules of heaven;
Either the soul of the gray-haired old man has been completely refined into nothingness through vicious means, and he can no longer enter the avenue of reincarnation.
The former method is considered a normal method, but the latter method is against the will of heaven, and both humans and gods are outraged.
This made the strong men in the "Huangquan Dao" full of murderous intentions, and they believed that the latter situation had occurred.
Judging from the level of monks that can be absorbed by the "Earth True Realm", the kind of magic weapon that can cover the laws of heaven does not exist 99% of the time.
It was precisely because of Li Yan's ruthlessness and decisiveness in the early stage that he did not let the soul cultivator detect the villagers' memories and knew clearly that he was the only one.
And all kinds of incredible methods made "Huangquan Dao" make mistakes in judgment.
They determined that the "evil spirit monks" who entered were at least in the Nascent Soul realm, and their number might be around three to five, and some of them might even be in the God Transformation realm.
It is impossible for a soul cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage to be captured alive without warning.
It is based on
After these judgments, Li Yancai was checked and confirmed to be a soul cultivator, and then he was let go.
Because he was only a Nascent Soul Realm monk and a single person, the gray-haired old man could not be easily captured by such a person, and his doubts were quickly eliminated.
Li Yan flew three to four thousand miles and encountered several interrogations along the way, but they all let him go without any surprise.
It wasn't until Li Yan flew another 20,000 miles that he finally encountered the interrogation of a god-transformation monk. Finally, after questioning Li Yan, he asked him if he planned to join the sect?
A Nascent Soul cultivator was approached by some sects, but was declined by Li Yan. He was a fake soul cultivator, who could only use some soul skills.
If you really become a guest elder of a certain sect, and if others really treat you at that level, after a little time, your flaws will most likely be revealed.
With Li Yan's current soul-cultivation methods, apart from the fact that his soul power is pretty good, using soul skills to fight against people would make him unable to do what he wants, so becoming a disciple might be enough.
As a result, Li Yan continued to fly eastward for more than ten days, and the number of interrogations he encountered obviously began to decrease.
In the air, Li Yan was flying leisurely, with a large river below him.
"After these days of trying, it should be possible to pretend to be a soul cultivator, but fortunately the inspections are only to confirm whether it is a soul cultivator? .???.
There is no real fight with people, otherwise problems will be exposed if my soul power is not equal to the soul technique.
Next, these hidden dangers must be resolved quickly without any further delay. Once something unreasonable happens, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others..."
After these days of detection, Li Yan felt that his plan for the exam a few days ago should be feasible.
…………
A few days later, in an inn in Chufang City, Li Yan, dressed in a black gown, was sitting at the table in front of the window.
At this moment, he was not in a hurry to practice. He was tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.
There were seven or eight thin things about the size of a baby's hand, like green leaves, placed on the table. Li Yan was constantly thinking about something in his mind.
“When entering Fangshi, the interrogation becomes stricter, and the issue of identity must also be resolved as soon as possible!
I should now enter a sect and get a formal status...but...but with my level of cultivation, there will be many problems when I join the sect..."
Li Yan has been in this city for four days. During these four days, he has been buying some classics.
It is difficult for the "Earth True Realm" to use its spiritual consciousness, and it does not know how to refine and use jade slips. Using jade slips is simply an act of self-abuse.
They use something called a "soul slip" in which they can burn something with soul power.
When viewing, you only need to probe into the stone with your soul power, and you can sense the words or images in it, just like a jade slip.
This made Li Yan couldn't help but sigh at the monk's strong survivability. This "soul slip" was also refined through "soul crystal buds" and other auxiliary materials.
But the age of the "soul crystal buds" used here does not need to be five hundred years. It only takes more than a century to refine "soul bamboo slips" of different levels.
And in the market, you can not only trade with spirit stones, but also with "soul crystal buds", but this needs to be calculated according to the "soul crystal bud" level.
They are based on a level of one hundred years, and the lowest one also has a growth period of one hundred years. Most of the "soul crystal buds" of the mortal race cannot be used as spiritual stones, and can usually only be used to refine medicine and weapons.
.
Of course, there are mortals who will carve out special land to plant crops that last more than a hundred years. At least with their longevity, they may be able to harvest two to three crops in their lifetime.
But there are also people who never harvest after planting, and they also plan for future generations, because they have inherited the "soul crystal sprouts" left by their ancestors.
Li Yan obtained a lot of information about the "Earth Realm" from these "soul slips".
Today, the Soul Soul Palace should be in charge of two old monsters from the Fusion Realm, but these two old monsters have not appeared for thousands of years.
There are rumors that these two people should be practicing hard in seclusion, trying to break the shackles of heaven here.
If the shackles of heaven here can be successfully broken, perhaps the "Earth Realm" can open a channel to the outside world.
What's more, there are at least four dangerous places in the "Di Zhen Realm" that no one can set foot in so far.
Maybe the two old monsters had entered before, but maybe it was too dangerous inside and they retreated, so there are no relevant records.
There are no prohibitions on the four dangerous places in the "Soul Palace". Anyone can try to enter as long as they are not afraid of death.
There is another news about the dangerous place. It is that the first generation of the Supreme Elder and three elders went into the dangerous place a long time ago and never came out again.
It was because of this incident that almost caused a crisis in the Zhenhun Palace.
Fortunately, the generation of sect leaders who stayed in the palace were already the strongest in the late stage of Void Refining in the contemporary era, and with the help of other elders, they were able to barely suppress all forces.
It was not until he finally broke through to the Fusion Realm that the power of the Soul-Suppressing Palace was re-established.
It is recorded in the "Soul Slip" that within a few days after the sect leader reached the Fusion Realm, the "Earth True Realm" ushered in a bloody purge. A large number of monks died, and many sects and families were also wiped out...
In addition to this news, Li Yan also learned that there are indeed some foreign monks left in some areas of the "Di Zhen Domain".
After escaping the pursuit of soul cultivators, some of them hid in some remote or dangerous places. While practicing, they would occasionally come out to hunt soul cultivators in order to obtain more cultivation resources.
Therefore, when walking in the "Di Zhen Realm", except for some places where sects are concentrated, in more remote places, or when walking alone, you really have to be careful about being attacked and killed by others.
The thing that Li Yan is most concerned about is the news that the two fused monks may still be trying to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and leave here.
Seeing this news also made him feel happy.
The other party still wants to break through the space restriction here by breaking through the cultivation level, so the other party must have accumulated other more methods to try.
It's just that the results of those attempts should still be discussed or failed in the end, but Li Yan wanted to know what specific methods they used?
For example, if you have found a real export ban location, but you just can't break the seal there.
If there is such information, he has a "Tiantian Pa", and of course he is thinking about whether he can successfully break through.
But if he wants to get such news, he cannot enter those small sects. He can only enter the Soul Suppressing Palace to hope to get access to these core information.
But Li Yan's biggest problem now is that his own realm is inconsistent with his soul cultivation realm, and he can't hide his cultivation before entering Luo Xing Valley like he did when he first entered Falling Star Valley.
Although he could hide his cultivation to the Golden Core Realm again, or even to the Foundation Establishment Stage, there would be some problems.
Li Yan's biggest purpose in entering was that if he wanted to find out the core information as early as possible, his identity must be in the Zhenhun Palace and he must have a certain status.
At this time, Li Yan wished that his cultivation level could be higher, so that his status could be higher.
In addition, even if Li Yan is willing to lie dormant and get closer to the core disciples of the sect little by little as a young monk, he will definitely be tested when he enters the Soul-Suppressing Palace.
His realm of dual cultivation of law and body can be concealed. As long as it is not personally assessed by the Void Refining cultivator, he should be able to hide it.
However, there is no way to conceal the intensity of his soul power. Li Yan currently only uses soul skills to attack and defend, and does not practice soul cultivation techniques.
If the other party suddenly finds out that one of your foundation building or golden elixir monks actually possesses powerful soul power at the Nascent Soul realm, then the trouble will definitely be huge.
There are geniuses in this world, and there are also people who are born with powerful souls, but Li Yan's identity cannot withstand careful inspection, so he must at least keep his soul cultivation level roughly the same as his soul.
"Then buy some better soul-cultivating techniques from Fang City, and then practice the soul-cultivating techniques to a certain level before going to worship in the 'Soul-Suppressing Palace'!"
After Li Yan thought for a while, he could only give up the idea of quickly entering the Soul Soul Palace and could only plan step by step.
At present, he only has some basic skills obtained from soul searching, but they are not complete. They should just be memorized by the gray-haired old man when he randomly browsed through such skills when he first got them.
Now that it was decided, Li Yan immediately put away the "soul slip" on the table, stood up, and walked towards the door!
