In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
"Damn it! He actually got away!"
Bai Cang pulled a piece of yellow dragon shell from his sleeve, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
It can only be said that Huanglong truly deserves to be called a god-demon ancestor who has survived to this day; his methods of preserving his life are indeed remarkable.
Even Bai Cang didn't realize when he had "collapsed and fled".
Even the seemingly miserable Yellow Dragon Ancestor, how badly injured he was, and whether he had lost any vital energy at all.
Bai Cang is now somewhat doubtful.
After all, in the beginning, even when Huanglong Laozu lost his head, he was completely fine and could still fight Bai Cang with great vigor.
Now they've withdrawn so decisively; it's truly a case of deceiving everyone.
Bai Cang really couldn't help but suspect that the other party was "acting" at him.
After all, he wouldn't dare to use his own "hobby" to measure someone else's "special skills".
The defeat may have been genuine; Huanglong Laozu's "angry and resentful" resentment didn't seem fake at all.
However, judging from his ability to easily escape unscathed after his defeat.
Bai Cang dared not overestimate the damage he had caused to Huanglong Ancestor.
"It seems we really shouldn't underestimate anyone!"
Thinking of this, Bai Cang's arrogance diminished slightly.
But I'm still very unhappy!
That's just human nature.
Even if you constantly remind yourself not to get carried away, when your achievements far surpass those of your peers, and even exceed those of the vast majority of people, things can still go wrong.
If you say that you have no arrogance whatsoever, then you can only say that this person is too hypocritical, even deceiving himself.
For example, someone might live most of their life on a monthly salary of 3,000, and suddenly their income starts to skyrocket, from 3,000 to 30,000, 300,000, 3 million, and 30 million.
Even someone with an "innately humble and holy body" is not immune to becoming somewhat arrogant.
If someone can act "against human nature," it is advisable to stay away from them immediately.
A person who can even deceive themselves will never be able to tell the truth in their entire life.
If you dare to believe even a single punctuation mark or half a modal particle, you're just waiting to be swindled out of your entire fortune and your family ruined!
Bai Cang was the same: although he always kept the word "steady" in mind and examined himself three times a day, he never once escaped the temptation to be arrogant.
It repeatedly jumps back and forth between the two aspects of "recklessness and timidity" and belongs to this category.
The same was true at this moment; Bai Cang had engaged in "self-reflection," but clearly only "saved a little bit."
"Nai Muxi! I'd like to see just how fast you can run!"
Bai Cang sneered, his eyes reflecting an unprecedentedly thick black line of cause and effect, before he suddenly vanished like a dream.
Then, he teleported through the void and appeared in a strange place.
"call!"
A howling, eerie wind blew in my face, thick black fog blanketed the sky, and rolling, turbid waves surged into the air.
The scene before my eyes changed completely in an instant.
The dim, yellowish water surged and roared, and a cold wind rose from the towering waves.
A vast expanse of black fog filled the space and covered the entire universe.
When Bai Cang descended, the yin wind and black mist seemed to be living things, swirling around him and stretching towards where he stood.
A cold wind blew, and a black fog enveloped everything.
Bai Cang suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he were drunk, his head spinning.
"Duh!"
The next instant, Bai Cang chanted a maxim, and a surge of energy flowed within his undying primordial spirit. His immortal golden nature shone brightly, instantly dispelling the feeling of unconsciousness.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a murky yellow "loach" plunging headfirst into the depths of a swirling, turbid eddy.
"Goodness, no wonder he's Old Dragon, he can bend and stretch, hide and conceal himself, right?"
Bai Cang's lips twitched slightly, but he did not pursue them further.
This place is clearly problematic. No matter how confident he is, he wouldn't continue the pursuit when the situation is unclear.
This is because it's not about chasing down the Yellow Dragon Ancestor, but about "chasing down" himself!
Thinking of this, Bai Cang stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping around.
In this space, turbid waves surged, a chilling wind howled, and black mist filled the air.
The sky was obscured, only a chilling atmosphere filled the heavens.
Below, the ground was not visible; only rolling, turbid waves were visible.
There is also a winding river in the distance, forming a magnificent and awe-inspiring formation.
Immediately, Bai Cang activated the "Heart-Mind Divine Calculation" and quickly understood his situation, his expression turning strange.
"The creation of heaven and earth is truly wondrous; I never imagined that such a place existed!"
Under the deduction of "Xin Yi Shen Shu", Bai Cang knew that the place he was in was called "Bitter Sea", where three thousand weak waters converged into a long river with nine bends, forming a natural formation.
The "Bitter Sea" is a notoriously dangerous place in the far north ice plains. The surrounding Three Thousand Weak Waters are said to be so treacherous that "even a goose feather cannot rise, and no bird can cross."
Only by passing through the Abyss Eye can one travel through the Netherworld.
And that kick from "Teacher Tianhe" just happened to send him into a "sea of suffering".
In other words, it wasn't that Huanglong Laozu was deliberately tricking him, but rather that he wanted to "escape the sea of suffering," and he had to cross the Three Thousand Weak Waters to return to the far north ice plains.
But what made Bai Cang's expression even stranger was that the scene here was somewhat similar to the legendary Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation from his previous life.
"The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation can destroy the spirit of immortals, extinguish their souls, trap their forms, and damage their energy. It can also cut off the three flowers on the top of the head, close the five breaths in the chest, and knock even the Great Luo Golden Immortals down to the mortal world."
Bai Cang thought to himself, "This formation is naturally formed and no one is in charge of it, so it's not quite at the level of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."
But if one could thoroughly comprehend it and transform it into one's own deadly move, even a Nascent Soul Dao Lord would likely find it difficult to withstand the ferocity of this formation.
His cultivation at this point was no different from that of an immortal, and not much inferior to that of a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.
However, standing here, the eerie wind disturbs the mind, and the black mist bewilders the heart. The constantly blowing eerie wind shakes the primordial spirit, and the sky-covering black mist confuses the senses.
It's alright in the short term, but if one stays here for a long time, it's hard not to feel confused and disoriented under the eerie winds and black mist.
If he were to be further swept away by the turbid waves, he might truly be knocked down from his cultivation level and regress to a mortal.
Anyone else in this situation would definitely leave the danger zone as soon as possible.
Just like the Yellow Dragon Ancestor, he plunged into the depths of the turbid whirlpool without looking back, passing through this sea eye and heading straight for the Netherworld.
However, Bai Cang's thought process is different from that of ordinary people.
What he was thinking about was whether he could seize this opportunity to turn crisis into opportunity and master the peerless supernatural power of the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation".
After all, he had already grasped the secret of the "Five Turbid Qi" and had the foundation to set up the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation".
"Perfect timing. After my advancement, I'll need to upgrade many of my techniques to adapt to my current cultivation level and realm, and to fully unleash my potential."
"This place is extremely dangerous. Surely no one would be so foolish as to deliberately barge in and disturb me?"
Thinking this, Bai Cang simply stood in mid-air, and "five turbid evil qi" rose around him, intertwining and resisting the rolling turbid waves.
Then, the "Heavenly Dao Register" was activated, and a wisp of aura descended, with auspicious clouds and canopies also hanging down like necklaces.
The eerie atmosphere, with its chilling winds and pervasive black mist, was completely blocked out.
