There was a jade slip in the flowing light.

"This is the map of the Immortal Palace."

It had fooled Shen Lian twice before by saying it had magical powers, and this time it took out the real thing.

Based on the experience it has learned from humans over the years, it knows that there is gain only when there is sacrifice.

The Five Elements Immortal Palace is vast and boundless. Countless cultivators throughout history have entered it, but none of them were able to get a glimpse of its entire picture.

The maps drawn by various exploration areas were kept like treasures and rarely shown to others.

Looking at the world of immortal cultivation, there is no one who would not be tempted by this thing.

clang.

But under Heiya's gaze, the jade slip that flew near Shen Lian was hit by a ray of colorful light, and rolled back to its vicinity.

Don’t want it?

"Are you... a human?"

"My friend, didn't the ancestor explain it clearly just now? Here is a map leading directly to the Five Elements Immortal Tree in the Five Elements Immortal Palace."

"burst!"

In an instant, Shen Lian's figure disappeared into the water, and he didn't even bother to respond.

One hundred and eight blue water dragons roared towards the sky, and the huge waves they stirred up covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

He couldn't believe a guy like Heiya who had ulterior motives.

What if he were to possess Master Yunlong and turn against him?

Given Master Yunlong's status in the Yunshang Sect, it would be easy for him to gather many monks from the Jindan Sect to encircle and suppress him in the South China Sea.

Shen Lian would never do something that would dig a hole for himself.

Besides, we have already left the secret realm, the sky is high and the sea is vast. If we don’t leave now, when will we leave?

"Long Er!"

Amid the rolling waves, Master Yunlong shouted angrily.

The dragon's tail just now caused all his magic power to dissipate and even his bones to break.

He never thought that the mount he had been with day and night would be possessed by a tree root.

How could Yunlong not be angry! In the roiling water, undercurrents formed by explosions hit Yunlong and Shenlong.

Each of these energies may only have the attack level of an ordinary golden elixir, but their quantity is surging and endless.

The accumulation of power over and over again turned into dark force. The Mirage Dragon was the first to be unable to hold on and let out a wail. Large pieces of flesh and blood on its body were washed away by the blue water.

Heiya doesn't care about the life or death of a possessed body. It controls the mirage dragon to rush out of the formation.

As it flew, the flesh and blood on the mirage dragon's body was constantly washed off.

Before it could break out of the range of the formation explosion, the mirage dragon was left with only a skeleton, and even its internal organs were washed clean.

Only the dragon head's tongue was attached to the lower jaw, and a rotten tree root had grown countless roots that were tightly attached to the dragon's bones.

On the other hand, Master Yunlong was emitting anger, and the water vapor around him formed a huge dark light shield, and beams of energy hit the light shield and dispersed.

But within the seemingly solid defense, there is still a constant stream of backlash energy rushing back into the body.

It’s just that Master Yunlong’s realm is so powerful that he can still hold on for now.

"Who the hell are you!"

Heiya, who was attached to the dragon's tongue, was also angry at this moment.

It clearly took out a gift this time, but it didn't expect Shen Lian not to care at all.

No, you are not a human being!

This is the map of the Five Elements Immortal Palace!

Now that it’s in trouble, it has been tricked by Shen Lian before it could possess Yunlong. Next, it must capture Yunlong.

Otherwise, once the matter of the immortal map is exposed, it will be truly tragic.

At this moment, Heiya was completely puzzled.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

The angrier I get, the more I think about it.

how so.

This is a fairy picture!

Ah! After falling from the Immortal Palace, it controlled dozens of human cultivators and enslaved hundreds of them. The cultivation experience and living habits of these people were all controlled by it.

Isn't the human race's selfish desire very strong? The human race's habits are too difficult for it to learn!

"Pay for my Long'er's life!"

On the other side, Master Yunlong, who was burning with anger, reached down towards the black cliff with his big hand.

Heiya didn't give in either. He controlled the mirage dragon, which had only the dragon skeleton left, and slapped it towards Master Yunlong.

You can see that from the head to the tail, every joint and every bone of the skeleton are wrapped with dense roots, controlling the entire skeleton dragon with ease.

The two men fought and rushed out of the water.

Snap!

A shattering sound was heard. Even though Master Yunlong was careful when he took action, the Mirage Dragon's realm was only the middle third level, and it finally broke into pieces.

However, the broken bones did not fall down, but were entangled by the yellowish and blackish roots.

The broken dragon bone, entangled by the tree roots, turned into a limp and snake-like shape, and fled madly into the distance.

Behind him is Master Yunlong who is chasing closely.

…

Shen Lian who was fleeing far away did not run away immediately, but went towards Aoyang Island where he had previously retreated to achieve the Golden Core stage.

There were ten overlapping chain arrays he had left behind, as well as a teleportation array that he wasn't sure if it would work.

Before leaving the South China Sea, we must cut off the tracking tail.

After fleeing day and night, Shen Lian finally arrived at Aoyang Island and sat in a cave surrounded by formations.

"The ethereal moth."

Before Yunlan's death, Shen Lian used his own magic weapon, the silver hair, to pierce into Yunlan's sea of ​​consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness of the Jindan Daquan cultivator was too vast, and he did not dare to grab it by force, for fear of suffering backlash before death, so the memory fragments he grabbed were very few.

Fortunately, he also found out how he was being followed.

I didn't expect that the Yunshang Sect actually cultivated such a magical spiritual insect. It seems that the moment he entered the secret realm, a spiritual moth was planted on his body.

Holding Yun Lan's storage ring, Shen Lian tried it and found that the ring was sealed with a powerful divine power. In his current state, it would take at least one or two months to break it.

It seems that there must be something important in this storage ring, otherwise Yun Lan, a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator, would not have set up such a powerful divine seal on the storage ring.

In addition, although Yunlan Zhenren's body was broken, Shen Lian took the opportunity to collect it. If it can be repaired properly, it can be made into a golden elixir puppet.

Even if his realm drops a small level, he still has the strength of the late Jindan stage.

Shen Lian frowned as his spiritual sense swept over the area about ten feet around him. He still hadn't noticed the presence of the moth.

Although this thing will die in half a year, there is still nearly a month left, so leaving it behind will ultimately be a hidden danger.

"Moth, moth."

After mumbling a few words, Shen Lian reached into the hair again and pulled the little caterpillar out.

“Can you see the moths around you?”

The little caterpillar nodded.

The chubby little body rolled over gently, and green light around it spread like ripples, illuminating the three-foot area around Shen Lian.

In the green light, an extremely tiny black and white moth flapped its wings.

Shen Lian quickly used his spiritual sense to sense it, and it was indeed quite strange. His spiritual sense actually passed through the moth.

“Yo yo.”

"Have you discovered its existence a long time ago?"

The little caterpillar nodded, "Yo yo."

The little caterpillar rolled over and looked like it was asking why I had to say this.

Shen Lian was so angry. This thing ate his food and drank his drinks, which really made him lose his temper.

"Did that rotten tree root follow us?"

Catching the insect that was about to fly into his hair to sleep, Shen Lian hurriedly asked.

He breathed a sigh of relief after getting a positive answer.

The old demon Heiya thought that there was a large formation surrounding them, and he was sure that Yunlong would take the map of the Immortal Palace. They would be happy if they cooperated to capture Yunlong, so he told him the matter of the Immortal Map in a big way.

It’s a pity that the old devil still hasn’t learned his lesson. Human nature is complicated.

At this moment, another image-retaining bead appeared in Shen Lian's hand.

"My friend, didn't the ancestor make it clear just now? This is a direct route to the Five Elements Palace..."

The old demon's voice came from the image-retaining bead.

"I'm sorry, Senior Heiya, I have to use you to take the blame."

"If you can't get over this, I'll burn paper for you."

Shen Lian shook the image-keeping bead. Compared with the fairy palace map, the sword-shaped grass and old tree roots that fell from the fairy palace, what he had done in the secret realm was nothing.

By then, not to mention the Yunshang Sect, the nearby Taiyi Sect, Xuanyin Sect, and Dongsheng Sect may all take action to look for the old demon.

Of course, Shen Lian’s purpose was not so much. He just wanted to prevent the Yunshang Sect from looking for him so that he could stay away from the South China Sea safely.

…

After staying on Aoyang Island for two days, Shen Lian left quietly.

Before leaving, he covered the formation here again and activated the remaining teleportation formation.

A silver light flashed, and a distorted space emerged from between the earth and rocks deep in the island. Flashes of silver light tore open a crack in space.

"hiss."

Watching the teleportation formation from afar, Shen Lian grinned, lucky that he stepped on it.

Otherwise it would be like building a teleportation array by yourself, passing it on, and dying.

After the teleportation array was opened, the flags collapsed on the array platform and exploded everywhere, scattering the fragments into pieces.

Without showing any signs of the formation being broken, Shen Lian headed towards the nearby Shanluo tribe of the sea clan.

"Ancestor."

The sea clan monk who was guarding the entrance to the secret realm hurriedly saluted respectfully when he saw him come in.

Here, he finally felt the joy of crushing others with his divine thoughts.

Before, he was the one being crushed, and the sight of him running away with his head in his hands was truly unforgettable.

After entering the Shanluo Secret Realm, he selected a young cultivator from the Sea Clan who was at the seventh level of Qi training and brought him into the Black Mountain for seclusion.

"Ancestor?"

Without waiting for the cultivator to say anything more, Shen Lian mobilized his spiritual power to control it, and then took out the image-retaining bead.

He left many photo beads inside and outside the secret realm, and the contents were too mixed. He needed to re-record them and delete some things.

The focus of the content is on the origins of Heiya and Lingcao, as well as the fairy map.

Shen Lian copied more than two hundred photo beads in one breath. It was not that he didn't want to make more, but he didn't have that many left.

…

"Ancestor, the human Jindan who was looking for you before is here again."

Half a day later, Shen Lian left the secret realm with the young sea cultivator who had recorded the photo bead for him, and met up with Wu Shiyan who was waiting outside the door. After exchanging a few words, they returned to the secret realm.

"If the ancestor doesn't come back within half a year, give the things in here to the golden elixir of the same clan."

Shen Lian handed a storage bag containing the image beads to the elder of the Shanluo tribe.

"You know who to give it to."

The elder of the Shanluo tribe was stunned and quickly agreed. However, when he was about to speak, he found that his ancestor had already escaped from the secret realm.

"Is it... is it handed over to Patriarch Heiyuan?"

…

After leaving the secret realm, in the eyes of the sea clan cultivators, Wu Shiyan turned into a stream of light and returned to Shen Lian's hands.

As for the little sea creature who was at the seventh level of Qi training, he was directly cremated by Shen Lian.

Then, he chose an island in the coastal waters where only foundation-building monks were stationed, and bought low-level puppets and a large number of jade slips on the island.

Jade slips are a common recording tool used in the world of immortal cultivation. They come in different grades, and cultivators often imprint information on them with their spiritual thoughts.

But this time Shen Lian did not use his divine sense. Instead, he controlled the puppet he bought and used the spirit knife as a pen to carve on the jade slip.

The main content is the origin of the Black Cliff, as well as magical herbs, fairy pictures and so on.

After letting the puppet produce thousands of jade slips, he burned the puppet to ashes. Along the way, he chose remote places where cultivators without golden elixirs were stationed, and threw the jade slips and image beads down to them respectively.

During the throwing process, he did not throw the puppets himself, but controlled the puppets to enter the island and throw them. After the puppets finished their work, they were burned by him.

With the Yunshang Sect's control over the South China Sea, I believe it won't be long before they find these jade slips and photo beads.

I hope the Yunshang Sect will keep an eye on Heiya and not look for him.

Compared with his tiny golden elixir, the opportunity to reach the sky in the Five Elements Immortal Palace is less important. I hope Yunshang Sect will weigh this carefully.

After doing all this, Shen Lian changed his appearance and ran all the way to the northwest.

We can’t stay in the South China Sea anymore.

…

South China Sea.

Mountains above the clouds.

The entire mountain range covers a vast area and is shrouded in thick fog all year round, with only the edges visible.

Occasionally, when a cultivator was looking out into the distance, he would see a undulating fairy palace floating in the clouds.

This is the headquarters of Yunshang Sect, the overlord of the South China Sea.

The Yunshang Sect is famous for being the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the South China Sea that suppresses all four sides. It has several Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators under its command, and hundreds of elders at the Golden Core and Fake Core levels.

With such strength, no other sects in the South China Sea dared to offend.

In the clouds, there are towering mountains. The fairy palaces floating in the clouds seen from the outside are built on the top of these mountains.

The mountain gate of Yunshang Sect is divided into four levels, and the outermost area is where servants and outer disciples live.

Going deeper into the cave are the residences of inner disciples, or deacons and stewards at the foundation-building level.

The core area is the peak ruled by true disciples and golden elixir elders.

The deepest part of the mountain range is where the supreme elder, Mo Long Zhenjun, is in seclusion. Even the golden elixir elders in the sect are not allowed to enter easily.

The Yunshang Sect has no leader. The most respected leader is the Grand Elder. However, the Grand Elder did not take charge of the sect's affairs in the past. Instead, the Golden Core Elder and the Sect Master Elder jointly handled the sect's miscellaneous affairs.

Among the immortal palaces, there was a large hall with a light as sharp as lightning and an aura that fluctuated.

"The Golden Sword has fallen, Yunlan has fallen, Yunlong is missing, and now a tree root and a spiritual herb have popped out. Tell me what happened outside during the time I was in seclusion!"

Inside the main hall, a monk with a skinny face, but an awe-inspiring look and eyes emitting a golden glow, was furious.

"Great Elder, these image beads and jade slips appeared in the southern sea area. According to speculation, they should have been released by the Jindan early stage cultivator who appeared in the Vast Sea Secret Realm."

An elder stood up, and a beam of light flashed from his palm, revealing a young monk with his feet on the void and a faint colorful body.

The young man looked ordinary.

"puff!"

The Great Elder shattered the spiritual light with a wave of his hand without even taking a second look.

Projected images are useless.

How can I not be tolerant of such a monk?

Besides, there’s no point in talking about this now.

This is related to the Five Elements Palace and the spiritual objects that fell in the palace. Once other Yuanying sects learn of the news, how could they remain indifferent? (End of this chapter)
