Chapter 425: Jiuyou

"The Purple Cloud Valley is a huge cave, roughly divided into the White Mirage Desert, the Purple Cloud Mountains, the Dark Star Sea, and the Purple Dragon Plain.

"Among them, the Dark Star Sea is the largest, covering all directions. The entrance to the Nine Nether Abyss is deep in a canyon under the Dark Star Sea."

Yue Shenxiu briefly introduced the situation of Ziyun Valley. She said, "We are in a hurry. Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take about half a year to reach the Nine Nether Abyss."

She glanced at Yun Qingxuan and said, "I have prepared a flying star ship. The cabin is a bit small, please bear with it for a while."

Yun Qingxuan nodded slightly. With her cultivation level reaching this point, as long as she could sit in meditation and practice breathing for an hour every day, she would be able to restore her energy.

It’s okay if the cabin is a little smaller, we’re not going out for fun.

Gao Xian said, "Since we are in a hurry, let's hurry up."

Normally, they should go to the Purple Cloud Mountains first, get ten Purple Cloud Flowers, and then do anything else.

This was his original plan, and it would only take a few dozen days at most.

If he can’t collect the purple cloud flowers, can’t he just steal them from others?

At least there's no problem in robbing the ones from the Yuelun Sect. As for Wu Liuji, I owe him a life, so it's reasonable to give him a few purple cloud flowers.

Gao Xian didn't expect the Nine Nether Abyss to be so far away.

The main reason was that Yue Shenxiu only gave a general idea and didn't mention any details, which made his plan fail.

But it's not a big problem. By the time they get back in half a year, everyone will surely have picked the purple cloud flowers, and it will be much easier to borrow them.

Yue Shenxiu waved the whisk in his hand, and a flying ship appeared out of thin air.

The flying ship is about thirty meters long, with pointed ends and a wide middle. Its fully enclosed streamlined shell looks like an enlarged date pit, only with a more symmetrical shape.

The star-blue shell of the flying ship looks like jade and porcelain, yet has a hard metallic texture.

There are dark golden octagonal star patterns on it, all of which are made up of thousands of runes.

It was the first time that Gao Xian saw such a beautiful flying ship. Its exquisite appearance looked like some special decoration.

Stars sparkled on the surface of the Flying Star ship, and an entrance was revealed in the center of the ship as it rotated.

Yue Shenxiu didn't hesitate to enter the flying ship first. As soon as Gao Xian and Yun Qingxuan entered, the entrance was rotated and closed.

The space inside the flying ship is indeed not large, with four fixed seats on both sides and a small table in the front.

In addition, there is a seat in the front of the flying ship, which is surrounded by complex magic arrays and some manual control handles.

Most ordinary cultivators need to manually control the flying ships.

When you reach the Jindan level, you can use your spiritual consciousness to control the flying ship formation for a long time, which can save you a lot of trouble.

Of course, the consciousness of a Jindan Zhenren is also limited, and it is impossible for him to fly like this forever.

Yue Shenxiu placed eight high-quality spirit stones on the central magic circle, and the magic circle was activated, with rays of spiritual light flashing.

After the central magic circle of the flying ship was activated, the stars on the hull began to shine.

There were eight huge star-shaped transparent windows. Gao Xian and Yue Shenxiu sat opposite each other and both had excellent views.

With the window, the small cabin became much brighter and less cramped.

Under the urging of Yue Shenxiu's spiritual consciousness, the Flying Star Ship started instantly and shot diagonally upwards.

In the blink of an eye, the flying star ship rushed into the sky and reached an extremely high speed.

The Flying Star Ship was flying at a very fast speed, and the low roar it made when breaking through the air penetrated the hull and was clearly heard by Gao Xian.

Gao Xian found that this flying ship was indeed uncomfortable. It felt like the roar of an airplane engine in his ears. The riding experience was not very good. The only thing worth praising was that the flying star ship was fast enough, with a speed of about 500 feet per breath.

You should know that some second-level flying swords have this speed.

The Flying Star Ship looked small, but it was much, much bigger than the Flying Sword. It was really amazing to be able to have such a high speed.

At least it was a third-grade spiritual weapon! Because of the special nature of the flying ship, its price would be much higher than that of spiritual weapons of the same level.

Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh at Yue Shenxiu's extravagance. Even if he had obtained the property of several sects, it seemed that he could not compare with Yue Shenxiu.

It must be said that the foundation of the big sects is profound, with all kinds of rich resources and favorable conditions.

Gao Xian had nothing to do, but he didn't want to chat with Yun Qingxuan, let alone talk about love.

Yue Shenxiu was right in front of them. With her power as a first-grade golden elixir, she would definitely notice their communication through spiritual consciousness.

The two parties are about to cooperate sincerely to accomplish great things, and it is very inappropriate to whisper in front of others.

Yue Shenxiu also doesn't like idle chatting, and Yun Qingxuan is even quieter.

Gao Xian had nothing to say and could only sink his consciousness into the Temple of Mind to practice Ice and Fire.

This secret art was originally very simple. It rose all the way up from the two realms of ice and fire to the state of ice and fire without form and had become an extremely advanced secret art.

In terms of level, it is higher than Taiji Xuanguang Invisible Heavenly Clothes, and only one level lower than Taisu Ou Shen and Lei Ting Dian Guang Jing Lue.

Binghuo Wuxiang controls the Xuanming Arrow and Chiyang Bomb and can produce thousands of changes.

Gao Xian has been studying this method for some time, trying to see how to maximize the power of this method.

The main reason is that the human spirit is not enough, otherwise you can just upgrade and add points, and there is no need to study and think about it.

He became very famous some time ago, and his human spiritual light obviously grew faster.

However, this rate of growth is far from meeting his current needs.

On this journey to the Nine Nether Abyss, he also has to preserve the spiritual light of 32 million people for the Vajra.

Now I can only think about it slowly. Fortunately, I have nothing to do, so I can do something to kill time.

Gao Xian sighed inwardly, if only there were two people, it would be fine. With three people, the activity would not be able to proceed.

The three people in the cabin were silent. The atmosphere was very depressing, with only the low roar of the flying ship breaking through the air and the buzzing vibration.

Fortunately, no one felt embarrassed.

Yue Shenxiu and Yun Qingxuan, in particular, both hated unnecessary chatting.

For them, speaking must have a purpose and communication must be meaningful. Chatting is a torture for them.

The next day, Yue Shenxiu asked Gao Xian to fly the flying ship while she came down to rest.

Gao Xian sat at the control position and found that 99% of the high-quality spirit stones driving the magic circle had been consumed.

This flying ship would consume eight high-grade spirit stones, or 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, in one day's flight.

When he was at Pegasus, he only made a few thousand low-grade spirit stones a year at his most profitable time.

The legacy left by his alchemy master teacher was only a few hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Even if it was placed on a flying star ship, it wouldn't be enough to fly for two days.

By this calculation, this thing is really a money-burning item.

Gao Xian grumbled in his heart, but still obediently took out eight top-grade spirit stones and placed them in the magic circle.

With the spirit stone driving the flying star ship, he only needs to be responsible for controlling the direction and speed.

Using spiritual consciousness to control the magic circle, controlling the flying ship will become very easy.

There is no obstruction above the Nine Heavens, and no monsters will be encountered, so just fly at full speed.

Gao Xian flew for a whole day without encountering any problems. Looking down, he saw nothing but endless desert, which was quite boring.

But we cannot be careless. After all, the flying ship is extremely fast. If it encounters any monsters, evil spirits or the like, it can easily be damaged.

What's even more terrifying is the space crack. If they really hit it, not only will the spaceship be destroyed, but they will also die.

Fortunately, most of the space cracks are easy to identify, and there are not many of them, so there is no need to worry too much.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief when Yun Qingxuan took over the flying ship. He wanted to take this opportunity to have a good rest.

Well, only by practicing dual cultivation with Sister Lan can I relieve the boredom here.

The three of them took turns piloting the Flying Star Ship, and after several days they finally flew out of the desert and into the Ziyun Mountains.

The mountains were all shrouded in a layer of purple clouds, which was the poisonous miasma from the Purple Cloud Valley above that seeped in and was absorbed by the mountains.

The spiritual flowers in the mountains absorbed the purple cloud poisonous miasma and transformed into purple cloud flowers.

Gao Xian looked down curiously. He had flown all the way here, but had not encountered a single cultivator.

They only encountered a few flying monsters, most of which were extremely slow and could not catch up with the flying star ship at all.

On the third day of crossing the mountains, Gao Xian and his team encountered trouble.

A huge black crow stared at the Flying Star Ship. Gao Xian was the first to realize that something was wrong. The powerful spiritual power emitted by the black crow had reached the fourth level, which made him feel pressured.

"Fourth-level demon bird!"

Gao Xian was not afraid, but was eager to try.

Fourth-level monsters have magical powers but not much wisdom, so they are easier to kill.

The spirit core of a fourth-level demon beast is extremely valuable.

Yue Shenxiu stopped Gao Xian and said, "Don't do it. If we start fighting, we won't know how many people will be attracted. Let's go around it."

As she spoke, she took out a golden talisman from her sleeve, flicked her finger, and the golden talisman penetrated the hull and landed on Black Crow.

"Certainly!"

Yue Shenxiu let out a low shout, and the Four Symbols Fixed Origin Talisman was activated. The power of the four symbols locked the four directions respectively, trapping the huge black crow inside like a golden cage.

The Four Symbols Fixed Origin Talisman not only has the ability to lock changes in space, but can also shock the soul and magic power.

Although this third-level talisman is powerful, its magical power is actually far inferior to that of a fourth-level black crow.

However, the Black Crow's Yin Spirit was not condensed enough, and was suppressed by the magic power of the talisman, making it difficult for it to distinguish between east, south, west and north.

When the black crow reacted, it used all its strength to spread its wings and emitted a dark fire that covered most of the sky. The golden cage was instantly shattered into tiny points of light.

Blocked by the Four Symbols Dingyuan Talisman, the Black Crow could no longer find any trace of the flying ship. It circled in the original place and could only flap its wings and fly away.

Although the battle was short, its huge momentum attracted a lot of attention, but no one knew what exactly happened.

Another day passed before the old man in black followed the paper crane here.

The paper crane circled in the air before flying forward again.

The old man in black smiled. We have already reached the Purple Cloud Mountains. We should be able to catch Yue Shenxiu soon! After flying for dozens of days, we finally arrived above the vast blue sea. The old man in black was really stunned.

"What is this kid trying to do?"

The old man in black looked embarrassed. The Pluto Sea was too huge, and there was the power of the Pluto in the water. His spiritual consciousness would be greatly disturbed.

I'm afraid that this Black Crane Talisman will also be disturbed.

He came here mainly for Yue Shenxiu, and it would be difficult to explain if he failed to get the job done.

The Black Crane Talisman looked ordinary, but it was a fourth-level top-grade spiritual talisman, extremely special. He only had this one in his hand.

There was no other choice but for the old man in black to urge the paper crane to follow.

After flying like this for more than a month, the paper crane suddenly dived into the deep sea water, and the old man in black used his water escape to catch up.

After diving more than a thousand feet, the old man in black discovered a deep passage in the depths of the ink-black sea. There was no water in the passage, only endless deep nothingness.

The old man in black could sense the strong Netherworld energy inside, and his face became even uglier. There must be a powerful evil spirit in this Netherworld energy.

The method he practiced was most likely to cause induction with evil spirits. He would not be afraid if it were in other places, but he did not dare to take risks in such a strange place.

His life was coming to an end, so he came to kill a little girl. But he didn't want to die like this.

At this moment, Yue Shenxiu, Gao Xian and Yun Qingxuan were in big trouble.

A headless Taoist stopped them.

The headless Taoist's robe was tattered, his body was as black and shiny as iron, and he had dozens of white eyes on his arms. He looked very scary.

What’s even more terrifying is that the magic power wielded by this headless Taoist is extremely powerful, and he is actually a fourth-level evil spirit.

Before he could make a move, the cold, filthy, evil aura emitted by the Headless Taoist had already enveloped all directions, making Gao Xian shiver all over.

Yue Shenxiu showed no fear at all. She said sternly, "We can't avoid this evil spirit. We can only kill him!"

Gao Xian and Yun Qingxuan looked at each other. Having come to this point, they certainly didn't want to retreat.

The fourth-level evil spirit is very scary, but it has no intelligence and can be restrained by thunder magic. The three of them should be able to kill it together.

"good."

As Gao Xian spoke, he took out the Zixiao Tianshu golden whip to subdue demons. The lightning on the four-foot golden whip flashed quietly, illuminating the dark void around it.

There were dozens of eyes on the headless Taoist's arms looking at the golden whip to subdue demons. The next moment, dozens of eyes shot out black light at the same time.

The inky black light poured down like a rainstorm, and the filthy breath of coldness and death suddenly spread, covering the entire void...
