"That's right, but according to that Nascent Soul Realm assassin, those formations are extremely terrifying and completely integrated with the earth, so he dared not get close at all."
Therefore, he also didn't know what was hidden within the formation.
After explaining, the old man in black robes asked, "Elder, do you think it's possible that he's hiding there?"
"It's hard to say." The white-haired old man pondered for a moment and said, "The Tianyuan Great World has a long history and still has many secrets. It may not necessarily be the hiding place of that person."
As one of the most vast and primordial worlds in the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, the Tianyuan Great World has existed for an extremely long time.
It has been hanging in the starry sky since time immemorial.
It contains many secrets, some of which are difficult even for those at the Dao Integration Realm to fathom.
Putting everything else aside, the Tian Shu Divine Mountain alone is incredibly mysterious.
After arriving in the Tianyuan Great World, the white-haired old man tried to explore it, but even with his divine sense clone, he found it difficult to penetrate deep inside and truly glimpse its mysteries.
Therefore, it's normal to have some strange and hidden places.
"Elder, what should we do? Should we go and investigate that land?" the black-robed elder asked.
“No need,” the white-haired old man said immediately. “Regardless of whether that is that person’s secluded cultivation place or not, it is not appropriate for us to continue exploring.”
If that really is Lu Qing's secluded cultivation place, and their Netherworld Palace goes to investigate, it would be a loss if a misunderstanding arises.
The white-haired old man did not want to confront Lu Qing.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a way to leak the news to Mo Cangtian. Be careful not to let him realize that we deliberately leaked the news."
"Elder, we have repeatedly sent messages, but given Mo Cangtian's suspicious nature, it's hard not to arouse his suspicion," the black-robed elder said hesitantly.
"It's alright. It would be best if we could keep it from him, but it doesn't matter if we can't. He's already in the game and has nowhere to retreat. Unless he can tolerate that person growing stronger, he'll investigate even if there's only the slightest possibility."
The white-haired old man never imagined that his plan could completely deceive Mo Cangtian.
After all, the other party was a strong person of the same level as him, whose mental acuity had long reached an extremely terrifying level.
But he didn't care whether Mo Cangtian could detect his actions.
The moment the other party arrived in the Tianyuan Great World, they were already caught in the middle of the situation.
What he said next was nothing more than going with the flow.
Even if Mo Cangtian knew about his scheme, he was already unable to extricate himself.
Knowing Lu Qing's terrifying potential, the Black and White Sect absolutely could not tolerate this formidable enemy growing up smoothly.
"Disciple understands."
The old man in black robes was startled, finally understanding the Supreme Elder's scheme.
After bowing respectfully, he withdrew.
"Could this be your hiding place?"
Watching the departing figure of the old man in black robes, the white-haired old man's gaze was deep as he murmured to himself.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Half a month later, Mo Cangtian looked at the demon slave kneeling in front of him and asked in surprise.
"Yes, Master, we have discovered a vast array of formations deep underground in an ancient mountain forest, covering an area of at least a thousand miles."
However, those formations were extremely terrifying; anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm who entered them would surely die.
But Xiao Nu was certain that those formations were all set up by humans.
The demon servant reported with utmost respect.
"Since it's deep underground, how did you find it?"
Mo Cangtian asked, squinting his eyes.
"At that time, Xiao Nu and the others were interrogating a Nascent Soul Realm assassin from the Netherworld Palace. Master also knew that the assassins from the Netherworld Palace were well-informed and might know some information about that evil demon."
Unexpectedly, during the interrogation, the assassin suddenly ignited his primordial spirit, broke the seal, and escaped.
Xiao Nu and her companions pursued him relentlessly until the assassin, with nowhere to escape, vanished into the earth.
We gave chase, only to see the assassin crash headfirst into a formation, instantly annihilated by its powerful energy.
Only then did Xiao Nu and the others notice the existence of those formations.
The demon slave recounted the process of discovering the formation bit by bit.
"You've messed with the people from the Netherworld Palace?" Mo Cangtian's expression shifted slightly.
"Master, did we do something wrong?" the demon slave asked anxiously.
"It's alright. The Netherworld Palace is nothing special. It's just that a Nascent Soul Realm assassin died. Do you think they would dare to hold me accountable?" Mo Cangtian said indifferently.
Mo Cangtian knew the rules of the Netherworld Palace: the assassins under his command were responsible for their own lives, and apart from the direct descendants, they would not feel any pain even if many ordinary assassins died.
However, the demon slave's words made Mo Cangtian wary.
According to the demon slave, the assassin was forced into hiding underground by them, which led them to discover the formations.
But Mo Cangtian couldn't help but have a slight suspicion: was the Netherworld Palace secretly guiding this?
The Netherworld Palace had been operating in the Tianyuan Great World for a long time, and Mo Cangtian never thought that his actions could be kept secret from them.
He recalled the news his disciple had suddenly received about Lu Qing in the Tianyuan Great World.
Then, this time, the demon slave discovered the process of those formations.
Despite the lack of evidence, Mo Cangtian still sensed something was amiss.
"Is the Netherworld Palace being manipulated by you? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Mo Cangtian's gaze was enigmatic, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
Despite his doubts, Mo Cangtian had no intention of giving up this opportunity.
Having finally discovered a clue that resembled that kid, how could he not investigate further?
Regardless of what the Netherworld Palace is plotting, the fact remains that the kid is now a major threat to their Black and White Sect.
He couldn't let go of even the slightest possibility.
With a thought, Mo Cangtian separated a wisp of his mind and entered the acupoint between the demon slave's eyebrows, taking over his primordial spirit.
"You lead the way, and go to the places where those formations are located once again."
"Yes, Master!"
Several demon slaves transformed into black light and soared into the sky, then used spatial teleportation to head in a certain direction.
The Tianyuan Great World is vast, and even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at the fifth tribulation level or above would need considerable time to travel there.
Several days later, several demon slaves arrived above a vast, primeval forest.
“Master, the formations we discovered are located beneath this mountain forest.”
"Alright, you can go down now. Remember, conceal your presence and do not trigger those formations. Just get a little closer."
"This is what Mo Cangtian instructed within the primordial spirit of the demon slave."
"I understand."
Several demon slaves flew down, activating an earth-elemental magic weapon, and entered the earth.
The earth-elemental magic weapon emitted a yellow light, leading several demon slaves deeper into the earth.
Finally, they stopped only after going down a thousand miles underground.
"Master, the formations are just ahead," the demon servant said respectfully.
"So it's so deep underground?" Mo Cangtian was somewhat surprised.
Regardless of whether the one hiding in the formation is that kid or not, the fact that there is such a large and powerful formation so deep underground is enough to indicate that it is unusual.
Mo Cangtian hid within the demon slave's primordial spirit, extending a wisp of divine sense to quietly sense the power of the array ahead, hoping to break it.
But soon, he was surprised to discover...
These formations were all incredibly profound, and even with his Dao Integration Realm cultivation, he couldn't comprehend their mysteries for a while.
However, after he instructed the demon servant to change positions, he suddenly sensed one of the array patterns and his heart was jolted.
"Array patterns from the Ruins of Return? There's no mistake, this is definitely where that kid is hiding!"
Sensing the shape of the array pattern, Mo Cangtian was suddenly overjoyed.
Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Guixu Secret Realm has been opened three times.
Apart from the first time, disciples from the Black and White Temple entered the secret realm on the next two occasions.
Although all the disciples who entered Demon Slaughter Mountain for the third time perished there, they were unable to bring back any useful information.
However, the disciples who entered last time still brought back some information about the Guixu Secret Realm.
This includes the array patterns recorded by some disciples who ventured into the array's passageways.
Mo Cangtian had naturally also studied those array patterns. Now, in the array before him, he saw some array patterns that were almost identical to those in the Guixu Secret Realm.
"That kid obtained the inheritance of the Guixu Secret Realm. These array patterns in front of us must have been set up by him!"
Mo Cangtian was extremely excited.
After searching for so long, he finally discovered the traces of his enemy, how could he not be excited?
However, after a moment of excitement, Mo Cangtian quickly calmed down.
Although he had discovered the boy's hiding place, he knew that now was not the time to force his way in.
The array before them was extremely powerful; with the strength of these few demon slaves, they would probably be annihilated immediately if they even touched it.
Moreover, according to Luo Yuantian, that kid's current strength is terrifying; he is practically invincible in the Tianyuan Great World.
Even if he could break through these formations, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to the opponent with just a single divine thought clone.
"Let's go back first and discuss this further."
After thinking for a while, Mo Cangtian made a decision.
He immediately ordered several demon servants to conceal their auras and try not to alert anyone, and quietly returned to the ground.
As the demon slave transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky, Demon Cangtian looked back at the earth beneath his feet, his eyes filled with sinister intent.
"Boy, do you think that just because you're protected by the Heavenly Dao rules of this great world, no one can do anything to you? I'll show you what despair truly means!"
The next moment, the demon slave used a spatial teleportation technique and disappeared into the sky.
"Senior Brother Yu Jian, it's been a long time. You've indeed made a breakthrough."
At the Broken Sky Sword Sect, Qingxi looked at Yu Jian, whom she hadn't seen for some years, and her face lit up with joy.
“Junior sister, you’ve also entered the Ninth Tribulation Realm,” Yu Jian said with a smile.
Qingxi shook her head: "I'm still far behind you, Senior Brother. I've only just broken through, while you're almost at the peak of the Ninth Tribulation, right?"
"It's only just reached the initial stage; it's still far from the perfect state," Yu Jian said.
"You're already amazing. It's only been a short time, and you've already reached this level. Many of your sect's Ninth Tribulation seniors are still not as good as you."
"This is largely thanks to what I gained in the Guixu Secret Realm; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make such progress," Yu Jian sighed.
Qingxi also sighed, "Yes, if I hadn't comprehended the sword intent in that sword trial passage back then, I wouldn't have been able to step into the Ninth Tribulation so quickly."
Both of them reached the eighth level in the sword passage of the Guixu Secret Realm.
Although I ultimately failed to complete the game, I benefited greatly from it, and my knowledge of swordsmanship was significantly enhanced.
After returning to their respective sects, they began their seclusion.
Finally, through enlightenment, they overcame the obstacles and entered the ninth tribulation.
However, when the Guixu Secret Realm was mentioned, the two fell silent again.
After a while, Qingxi asked, "Senior Brother Yujian, what realm is that person you mentioned now?"
Although Qingxi did not name names, Yu Jian still knew who she was talking about.
"I don't know." Yu Jian sighed. "That person is an existence beyond reason. Although his realm was below ours that day, his strength was truly unfathomable and beyond our comprehension."
"Yes, even now, we would probably be no match for him in a single move." Qingxi sighed softly.
Although he has now entered the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit, when he recalled the time when Lu Qingzhen killed demons and slaughtered mountains in the physical body passage, his figure was like that of a god or demon.
Qingxi still felt a tremor in her heart.
She knew that even though her strength had greatly improved, she was still insignificant in front of that person.
Not to mention that the other party has now obtained the inheritance of the Guixu Secret Realm, so who can say for sure how strong he has become?
Thinking of Lu Qing, the two peerless geniuses from the top sects suddenly lost their enthusiasm.
Even the joy of breakthroughs has faded considerably.
"By the way, Senior Brother Yu Jian, do you know why the Sword Master invited my master here this time?"
After a while, Qingxi asked as if she remembered something.
"I don't know either," Yu Jian shook his head.
Actually, he found it a bit strange too.
Although the Kongming Sect and the Potian Sword Sect have a good relationship, it is no small matter for someone at the Dao Integration Realm to travel, and they rarely go directly into other sects.
However, the Sword Master's invitation to that person to come to the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect to discuss important matters was quite unusual.
Could it be that other sects are up to something shady?
Yu Jian made many guesses, but none of them could solve the problem, so he had to give up for the time being.
Fortunately, the Sword Master and Qingxi's master did not discuss the matter for too long.
Not long after, the two came out of the council hall.
"Qingxi, let's go, I'll take you on a trip."
"Qingxi's master," the woman in white said.
"Yu Jian, you should also go with Senior Lin."
At this moment, the sword master also spoke.
"Me too?" Yu Jian was taken aback.
"Good, remember, you must obey Senior Lin's orders in everything and must not be rude."
"Yes, Sword Master."
Although Yu Jian had countless questions in his mind, he could not disobey the Sword Master's orders, so he respectfully agreed.
"Senior Brother Yu Jian is coming too?" Qingxi asked excitedly. "Master, where are we going to travel?"
"The Great World of Tianyuan." (End of Chapter)
