Xue Kong watched the man and woman disappear, not only disappearing from his sight, but also disappearing from the Demon Island. They left the isolated island and returned to Guanglan City.
Xue Kong took out the formation jade slip. At this moment, the originally quiet formation jade slip was flashing with intermittent fluorescence, and a transmission wave was emitted from inside.
"Has it been a year since I entered the Demon Island?" Xue Kong muttered to himself.
This jade slip related to the formation of the stars can only be used for one year. One year later, it will be opened again and the person who obtains this jade slip will be teleported back to Guanglan City.
This was the purpose of the Jindan cultivators who sealed off the Demon Island and jointly established the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi Formation.
It is also the order of the King of Jingwu Kingdom.
Jingwu Country is a third-level cultivation country, because the cultivator with the highest cultivation level is only at the Jindan stage.
Since the appearance of the Demon Island, countless cultivators from Jingwu have been attracted here one after another. Although a few of them were able to obtain opportunities and treasures, more cultivators died on the Demon Island.
This is a vicious "event" that cannot achieve a cycle.
If the King of Jingwu Kingdom and the Jindan cultivators do not intervene, the number of cultivators in Jingwu Kingdom will decrease rapidly within a certain period of time, and the ultimate result will be the weakening of Jingwu Kingdom's national strength.
And even if a cultivator with outstanding talent appears, there is a high possibility that he will die on the Demon Island, thus making it impossible for Jingwu Country to have a Nascent Soul cultivator. Then this country will always be a third-level cultivation country.
Unable to upgrade to the fourth level of cultivation country.
This was something the king did not want to see.
Therefore, the king ordered the Jindan monks to seal off the Demon Island, create the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi formation, and set a time limit of opening the secret realm of the Demon Island once every ten years. While providing the monks with opportunities to obtain good fortune, he also tried to control the population.
Of course, whether to use the formation jade slip to return to Guanglan City is a personal decision and is not mandatory.
Xue Kong took a look at the formation jade slip and put it back into the storage bag.
He had not yet been to the four caves of the Demon Lord Baofu, and he had not yet obtained the three treasures, so how could he leave like this?
If he did not leave now, the jade slip of the formation would not be usable in a short period of time, unless he waited until the next time the formation of the stars was activated, then he could transmit it back.
Alternatively, he could snatch six pieces of formation fragments from the six Jindan cultivators, combine the fragments into one, and then he could activate the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi formation in advance.
Xue Kong naturally wouldn't think about these things at the moment.
He looked inward with his spiritual consciousness and saw an ancient Taoist foundation floating in the air at his dantian, emitting bursts of spiritual power. On top of the foundation, a five-story Taoist platform lay quietly.
This also means that Xue Kong's cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, and if he can condense the sixth-level Dao platform, he will have a chance to reach the late stage of foundation building. If his spiritual power is sufficient, he can condense the seventh-level Dao platform.
"After drinking all the red-bearded dragon egg liquid and absorbing the effects of the Creation Pill, plus all the mid-grade spirit stones and most of the low-grade spirit stones, my cultivation level stabilized at the fifth level of the Dao Platform."
"Now, there's no way I can make any further progress. Even if I practice breathing exercises in seclusion, it would take at least five years to reach the late stage of foundation building, given my natural talent."
"These five years have been too long for me."
Xue Kong gazed into the distance. In the distance before his eyes was the Zhi Mansion. "Although it's a bit risky to face those eight Jindan cultivators head-on, if I want to reach the late foundation building stage as quickly as possible, I have to go to this Zhi Mansion."
With a thought, two heavenly swords flew out of his storage bag, then landed at his feet, dragging his body as they flew towards Zhizhi Mansion.
Before reaching the foundation-building stage, I could only run on foot, but now that I can fly, the travel time has been shortened a lot.
During the journey, Xue Kong always held the spirit stone between his hands, and he was absorbing spiritual energy every moment.
On the way to Zhizhi Mansion, Xue Kong kept recalling everything about Zhizhi Mansion in his mind.
As I recall, that Zhifu was located in a vast desert, with yellow sand all over the sky. It was like a world of yellow sand, without any vegetation or rivers, only yellow sand that stretched as far as the eye could see.
That desert occupies nearly a quarter of the area of the Demon Island.
And Zhizhifu is in the center of this desert.
Xue Kong was flying in the air and soon entered the world of yellow sand. There was a long road ahead, with countless sand dunes as far as the eye could see. The cool wind blowing in this desert was heated into warm wind.
On the sand dunes on the ground, fine sand rolled, and some unknown creatures the size of fingernails drilled in and out of the sand. This was their paradise.
There are not many things that block the view in the desert, especially when flying in the air. Xue Kong can see at a glance that at the end of his sight, there is a group of monks struggling to advance in the desert.
"Fire Scale Beast." Xue Kong saw that there were more than a dozen ten-foot-tall monsters surrounding the group of people. They did not attack them, but just trapped the cultivators.
The Fire Scale Beast is a demon beast that does not exist in Jingwu Country. It was brought here by the Demon Lord Baofu from a fourth-level cultivation country. After his death, he razed the land around Zhizhi Mansion and created a desert with his great magical powers.
This desert gave birth to and raised the Fire Scale Beast.
Its entire body was red, with four strong limbs touching the ground. It liked hot places and hated ice. Its temperament was gentle due to its low intelligence. At this moment, it surrounded the group of monks and kept teasing them.
"These damn beasts have been following us for more than ten days. They didn't attack us, they just followed us. What on earth are they trying to do?" A thirsty-mouthed young man among the group of monks said in frustration.
His mother, standing beside him, disagreed: "Since you can't resist them, then just let them be. Sheng'er, you must not let their existence disturb your mind. Focus on your cultivation."
