Because of Wei Dongliu's sudden disappearance, the war between the Six Paths of the Demon Cult and the Orthodox Cult was almost anticlimactic and soon disappeared without a trace.

As the object of public anger, Fan Sheng Dao soon became the target of public criticism and was publicly demanded by Yin Gui Dao to give an explanation.

The people inside Fanshengdao were also in a state of confusion, because their leader Wei Dongliu seemed to have disappeared overnight and could no longer be contacted.

After Deputy Sect Leader Jiang Li secretly returned to the sect, he presided over government affairs for a few days, then announced that he would go out to look for the whereabouts of the Sect Leader, and then left Mount Wutai.

The power of the sect fell into the hands of Wei Dongliu's eldest disciple Guo Jin. Since he was only at the Jindan level, many elders were not convinced. However, due to Jiang Li'an's power, they had to accept it.

Some elders also gathered a dozen people and went to the top of Zhongtai Peak to complain to the Blood Sea Ancestor.

It would have been better if I had not gone. Once I went, I was shocked to find that the body of the Blood Sea Ancestor, who was sitting under the high rock, had really become like a dead tree, completely lifeless.

The sudden death of the sect's immortal leader must have been a huge blow to the mortal world.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing must be kept secret, and it should be kept secret as long as possible. However, there were more than a dozen people who witnessed the immortal's corpse at the time, so how could it be kept secret?

That night, a riot broke out in the sect, and two elders tried to storm the Dharma Hall in order to steal the scriptures and secret techniques inside.

As a result, a flying yaksha appeared in the hall at some point and killed the two elders and their disciples.

When Jiang Li'an came back and learned that the Blood Sea Ancestor was dead, he just sneered:

"That old guy got a bargain."

After hearing the master's wife's sharp comments on the immortal, Guo Jin and Wang Jun both broke out in cold sweats and dared not speak a word.

Feitian Yaksha said earnestly:

"That's right! This sect-guarding immortal is so arrogant, ordering his master to do this and that all day long. He should have died long ago!"

"Humph." Jiang Li'an was too lazy to explain the relationship between the Hell Path and the Blood Sea Ancestor, and just coldly ordered:

"Guo Jin, you will temporarily serve as the leader of Fansheng Dao, and Wang Qin will serve as the deputy leader to assist you."

"As for you." She looked at the flying yaksha, "Use your Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Soul Searching Technique to find someone for me."

"Who is the mistress looking for?" Feitian Yaksha said in embarrassment, "Although my Yaksha secret technique can use the energy to find someone, I must have contacted the person beforehand..."

"What I am looking for is your master!" Jiang Li said fiercely.

Master? Fei Tian Yaksha instinctively sensed that there must be some discord between the mistress and the master, and it must be a serious one.

In his early years, he was in awe of his master's unfathomable strength, but now he knew that the mistress was even more terrifying. If the mistress and the master really fought, which side would he stand on?

If you stand on the master's side, you will be beaten to death by the mistress; but if you stand on the mistress's side, the master has the key object in his hand that can control your life and can make you live a life worse than death at any time.

What a trouble... Can you two not involve an innocent Yaksha like me in your fight?

Not to mention the confusion in Feitian Yaksha's heart, Jiang Li sat down on the throne of the head master in annoyance. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wished she could find her husband and tear him into pieces.

You said you would take me to meet your parents, but you asked me to deal with the leader of the hell. I was fighting hard over there, but you sneaked away and left me alone in the depths of hell!

Even after I hit you, I didn’t react and was still looking for you everywhere... Don’t let me catch you, or you will suffer the consequences!

At this time, Jiang Li'an did not realize the seriousness of the incident because she did not know that Wei Dongliu's real target was the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone. She just thought that her husband had run away from home because he had annoyed her, and she was thinking about how to deal with him when he came back.

As for Chen Guanshui, who was in the South China Sea, he didn't know that he had just escaped a disaster. He just followed the route provided by the old man in black and flew his sword across the vast South China Sea.

It is said that the secret place was built by an ancient sect called "Yuting Sect".

The word "Yu Ting" in Taoism specifically refers to the stage where one has achieved great perfection in the Nascent Soul realm and is ready to ascend to heaven at any time. Therefore, this sect dared to use the name "Yu Ting", which shows how glorious it was in its heyday. It is said that south of the Yangtze River, all the fairy flowers and herbs in any famous mountains and rivers are owned by the Yu Ting sect, and the independent practitioners in Shenzhou are not allowed to collect them privately.

Such a prominent and large sect could not withstand the power of history in the end, and later split into eight large sects, and its Taoist tradition was gradually lost.

Chen Guanshui flew on his sword for several days and finally reached the depths of the sea eye.

I saw that the water within the range of the sea eye was deeper and bluer than the surrounding seas.

Chen Guanshui dived to the bottom of the sea and searched around for a while, and found that except for the color of the water, this sea eye was no different from the sea water in other places.

According to the old man in black, he only knew that the entrance to the sect was related to the sea eye here, but how to get in specifically was an internal secret of the Yuting Sect and no one knew it.

If Jing were still here, I could ask her to help me scan...but now I can only rely on myself.

It took Chen Guanshui about half a day to make an array device to test the distribution and flow of the surrounding spiritual energy.

After putting the formation into operation, he soon discovered that there was no spiritual energy around the sea eye.

The spiritual energy in the world of cultivation basically originates from the spiritual veins of the western plateau. Therefore, in low-lying areas such as the South China Sea and the East China Sea, especially in the sea without islands, the spiritual energy is relatively thin.

But a place like this, where there is not a trace of spiritual energy, could not possibly have been formed naturally. There must be some restriction that is absorbing the spiritual energy nearby.

Chen Guanshui thought for a moment and then dived into the sea again.

As far as he knew, the distribution of spiritual energy on the island was similar to that of the mountains, both extending from the underground spiritual veins.

Therefore, he spent another whole night exploring the distribution of the nearby underwater spiritual veins, and finally discovered that in a certain rift area, the flow of the spiritual vein was strangely cut off.

Continuing to dive deeper along the rift, we soon reached its bottom, but judging from the direction of the spiritual vein, the location where the spiritual vein was cut off should still be below.

Chen Guanshui clasped his palms together, activated the Five Elements Divine Light, and quickly dug towards the bottom of the sea.

After digging nearly a hundred feet deep, they still could not find the whereabouts of the lost spiritual vein. They only heard Su Mingjian suddenly say:

“I think it’s a cover-up.”

"Hmm." Chen Guanshui seemed to be thinking about something. "Indeed."

"Surveying the spiritual veins does not require much attainment or skill. Any cultivator who investigates will find that there is no spiritual energy here, and will naturally think of investigating along the direction of the spiritual veins."

"In other words, from the perspective of Yutingmen, this loophole might not be left, so it can only be explained as a cover."

He returned to the surface of the sea, looked at the azure blue sea below, and said with a sigh:

"If A Jing were here, he could still detect the spatial fluctuations, but now there is nothing we can do with just the two of us."

"Not necessarily." Su Mingjian said, "Doesn't the Sword Master have the Tianyu Divine Shuttle that can break through the space barrier?"

"To break the spatial barrier, you have to know where to go." Chen Guanshui sighed and said, "After all, you still have to locate the location of the cave, otherwise it's no different from wandering around."

He took out the Tianji Divine Shuttle, casually injected his true energy into it, and then activated it directly.

Sure enough, the tadpole pattern on the surface of the Tianji Divine Shuttle lit up, but it did not jump successfully - there were no available, clear jumping coordinates.

After staying on the sea for a long time, Chen Guanshui, who was at a loss, racked his brains and finally came up with a solution:

First of all, the cave of Yuting Sect is most likely hidden in a space somewhere nearby.

Secondly, if the specific spatial coordinates of the cave heaven cannot be explored, even if there is the Tianji Divine Shuttle that can achieve space jumps, it will not be possible to accurately enter the cave heaven.

In other words, a method is needed to jump over without coordinates... the so-called "irregular directional teleportation".

Speaking of this, can't we use the "Ten Thousand Miles Water Veins Divine Formation"?

This is a vast ocean with no islands. All the sea water is interconnected and can therefore be regarded as the same body of water.

Using the Wanli Water Vein Divine Travel Formation, one can jump to another body of water that is "not connected to the sea". As long as there is water in the Yutingmen Cave Heaven, there is a high probability that one can jump over!

So Chen Guanshui spent several more days setting up the formation, and then injected his true energy into it to activate it.

Soon, his figure disappeared from where he was.

About half a day later, Shi Liuli also arrived here on his sword.

The previous fortune-telling results should point to the location of the sea eye here.

But when she cast a few more divinations afterwards, she got no results.

It's not chaos without a target, but a feeling of being blocked, as if a master of calculation is covering up for the other party.

No, if there really was a master of divination, then they should have helped him long ago. Why did they wait until his identity was exposed before helping?

The higher probability is that he ran into a certain cave, and the cave itself has a shielding restriction... Looking at the deep sea eye below, Shi Liuli became more and more convinced of this.

She soon noticed the lack of spiritual energy around her, so she began to search along the spiritual veins. Naturally, the result was the same as Chen Guanshui's, with no results.

After hesitating for a long time, Shi Liuli finally sent a message on flying sword to find An Zhisu from Shushan to see what solution she might have.

When An Zhisu received the letter, he quickly rushed here on his sword.

After listening to Shi Liuli, she frowned and said:

"What kind of secret cave could be hidden in this vast ocean?"

Shi Liuli said patiently:

"If you have any space-related means, just use them and try them out. If you don't believe me, go back on your own."

Although An Zhisu was confused, seeing that Shi Liuli was too lazy to explain, she had no choice but to continue tinkering with her.

After working hard for several days, nothing was achieved.

Shi Liuli was still studying the problem of the severed spiritual vein, but An Zhisu became impatient. He remembered that his master who had gone astray and was on the verge of death seemed to be nearby, so he planned to go visit him and ask about the problem of this secret cave in the South China Sea.
