After waiting quietly for another two days, Luo Jianqing did not deliberately lure out the dark beast again, and the nine people never encountered danger again.
The One-Horned Demon Lord's face was solemn. He said, "It seems we haven't encountered those monsters again. We may have left that area. Why don't we go back and take another look?"
As soon as he said this, the other three demon lords agreed. However, the white-haired lord from the human race sneered and said, "It just so happens that the five of us also want to go back."
Hu Di Yao Zun said, "Yun Xiao, do you want to go back too?"
The white-haired venerable raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad."
Hu Di Demon Lord pondered for a moment, "Why don't we split up for now and go back and have a look? Perhaps we're too focused on the area and can't search it properly. If we split up and search, maybe we can find Xuan Lingzi and that monster."
The White-haired Venerable unexpectedly did not refute, but instead agreed: "Alright, then it's settled! We will gather here again in an hour to reorganize the Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation."
As they were talking, the nine people split into two groups and each returned to the dark mountains behind them.
They seemed to have forgotten that at the entrance to the ninth level of peril, Demon Lord Yin Ji had carefully warned them not to disrupt the Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation. To protect them from any mishaps, Yin Ji had cast a spell, leaving each of them with a dark green orb that could help them reactivate the Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation at any time, but this was to be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Faced with the opportunity hidden in the darkness, each of their hearts was beating wildly.
Within the eighth level of the Cliff of Broken Love lies a treasure of opportunity called the Myriad Laws Stone, which only forms once every hundred years. Guarded by ten beasts in the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, this treasure offers cultivators below the Mahayana stage a glimpse into the Great Dao. During their Tribulation Crossing Realm, they once scrambled for the Myriad Laws Stone, which is arguably the best treasure among the eight levels of the Cliff of Broken Love.
However, this was their first time to visit the ninth dangerous level of the Cliff of Broken Love.
There are only ten beasts in the late stage of tribulation watching over the Wanfa Stone, but there are actually beasts in the Mahayana stage here!
Could it be that these signs indicate that there might be a magic weapon here that is better than the Wanfa Stone?
Furthermore, this mountain range wasn't very large. They had traversed nearly every area in the previous few days, and had only encountered a few early Mahayana beasts, or at most, a single mid-Mahayana beast. Even if they did encounter a late Mahayana foe, they could simply gather together and form the Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation to resist.
The four demon lords left first. The five cultivators watched them from behind. One of them said, "We shouldn't run into that so-called early stage Spiritualization monster here, right?"
The white-haired venerable laughed heartily. "How could we possibly run into him? We've already traveled all over this place. Now we're just leaving those monsters behind and looking for opportunities on our own. If that monster in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm was really here, wouldn't we have run into him long ago?"
The other four stopped talking and flew towards the mountains together.
Soon, the five people were divided into two teams again, each looking for opportunities.
On the first day, everyone was peaceful and all nine of them could hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. It seemed that Hu Di Yao Zun and his companions had encountered a Mahayana beast and had to spend some effort to kill it.
After three days, the White-haired Venerable and the wandering cultivator were already far away from the other seven people.
The White-Haired Venerable carefully explored every corner of the darkness while speaking to his companions, "Two hundred years ago, I fought a fierce battle with Hu Di. If we have an opportunity today, we must not make it public. If Hu Di discovers us, he might join forces with the others to kill us."
The wandering cultivator immediately said, "Of course I know about this, but the Hu Di Demon Venerable has made rapid progress in strength over the past hundred years, so we should be cautious."
The white-haired venerable laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. At worst, we can just drag those people from the Yun family in and give them a share."
The casual cultivator said, "Hahahaha, Daoist Fellow Gui Zhen is right."
The White-haired Venerable continued, "We have known each other for over five hundred years. They don't know this, so we must keep it a secret. When we get to the outside world, we must not tell anyone that we took the initiative to break the Tianqing Breaking Sea Formation, lest Hao Xingzi remember it."
A black shadow slowly appeared behind Gui Zhen and the wandering cultivator, but they did not notice it.
The casual cultivator nodded: "Of course, this kind of thing cannot be discussed."
Gui Zhen said, "I don't think Hu Di and the others would tell anyone. If they did, they would definitely be punished by that Yin Ji." After a pause, Gui Zhen smiled and said, "You don't know, two hundred years ago, before Hu Di and I broke through to the Mahayana stage, I had already been fighting him on the battlefield for nearly a hundred years. His cultivation level was similar to mine, but I broke through to the Mahayana stage before him. At that time..."
“Whoosh—”
A faint sound of wind echoed from behind Gui Zhen. He was so engrossed in his conversation that he didn't notice it. He continued, "At that time, he never imagined that I could actually break through on the battlefield. So, in that battle, I beat him almost to death. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the demon lord Hao Ming, who forced my human race to retreat, I would not have simply cut off one of his horns, nor would I have allowed him to grow another one so easily."
A blood-red glow gradually spread, and a flower blossomed between the cultivator's eyebrows. Standing behind Gui Zhen, the cultivator's gaze gradually blurred. With his mouth wide open, he stared at Gui Zhen in disbelief, saying in a hoarse voice, "Ghost... Fellow Daoist Gui Zhen..."
Gui Zhen said, "I don't know whether it's his misfortune or mine that we met here this time. I heard that he has gained many opportunities in the past hundred years. If we can quietly seize his opportunities, maybe..."
