Chapter 152 Three Years of Retreat
Three days later.
In the sky, Ye Chunyang sensed the surroundings with his spiritual sense.
"This guy is practicing both good and evil, and his Taoism is even stronger than Su Xueyuan and Luo Qingcheng. With my cultivation level, even if I try my best, I may not be his opponent. I must escape to Xishanling as soon as possible."
With the magic of the Soul Refining Technique, Ye Chunyang's spiritual sense is far superior to that of his peers.
At this moment, he clearly felt that Duan Qian was not far away from him. With the other party's amazing speed, he was afraid that he would be chased up soon.
Ye Chunyang's heart was gloomy. Duan Qian had been chasing him for three consecutive days. Although he avoided him with his body skills, this would not be a long-term solution.
Standing on the clouds and looking into the distance, Ye Chunyang's mind flashed.
"Xishanling is so cold that even the old demon Yinxu who chased me back then did not dare to go deep. I think this time it can also be my temporary refuge."
Xishanling is filled with cold air all year round, and ordinary cultivators dare not approach. Ye Chunyang has the special ability of the spirit spoon to protect his body, and the cold air cannot invade his body.
This place is not far from Xishanling. He just wants to go back to the cave under the iceberg to study the location of the Silent City. Although Duan Qian is strong, he dare not go deep into Xishanling rashly.
Sensing that Duan Qian's breath is getting closer and closer, he no longer hesitates and flies away.
Ye Chunyang has thought about using the ancient pagoda formation to teleport in the void, but Duan Qian's pursuit makes it impossible for him to sacrifice the floating dust beads. Now he can only fly at the fastest speed.
Not long after he escaped, a blood light descended here.
Duan Qian looked in the direction where Ye Chunyang was going away, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "With the speed of my blood refining magic, I can't catch up with this person for three consecutive days. Who is he?"
When they fought three days ago, Duan Qian had already sensed that the other party was only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and his cultivation was far inferior to his, but he couldn't catch up with the other party after chasing for days, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
With his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, he was actually left far behind by a kid who was far inferior to him. If this matter was reported back to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, it would be a big laughing stock.
"Hmph! I want to see how long you can escape?"
Just after Duan Qian left, a rainbow light appeared here again, but this light was dim and did not stay. It disappeared after just a flash.
...
The weather in the northwest is getting colder.
At this time, it has reached the foot of the glacier of Xishanling, and there are occasional heavy snow in the sky.
Unlike other places, Xishanling is very cold. Even those who have achieved immortality will be invaded by the cold air and their spiritual power cannot be used. Even those with low cultivation may damage their foundation.
In such a harsh environment, not to mention mortals, even immortals dare not set up caves here.
However, during this heavy snow, there was a person who stopped under the glacier.
This person was dressed in black and had a hideous ghost mask on his face.
What was shocking was that this person was not affected by the cold air of the glacier at all. After hesitating for a moment, he moved forward again and disappeared in the vast snow in a blink of an eye.
With a "whoosh", almost in a row, after the ghost-faced man entered Xishanling, another person appeared here in less than three breaths.
This time it was a young man dressed in blood-stained clothes. Looking at the raging snow and cold air ahead, the young man in blood-stained clothes suddenly stopped in place, and his face kept changing.
"Xishanling is a forbidden place for cultivators. This kid actually broke into it without knowing whether to live or die. It seems that he has nowhere to go."
Duan Qian's face was gloomy and uncertain. He stopped outside Xishanling and dared not move forward half a step.
He knew the horror of this place very well. Even masters in the mana period would be in danger of death if they entered.
"Entering Xishanling is like stepping into the gates of hell. It seems that this kid has no chance of survival. It's a pity that we haven't been able to find out his identity."
Just like the old demon Yinxu back then, Duan Qian finally stopped the idea of entering Xishanling to pursue and turned around and left.
On the other hand, after entering Xishanling, Ye Chunyang did not directly enter the cave, but wandered along the cold fog for several circles.
"There are many talented people in the world. Although I am not afraid of the cold poison here, it is hard to guarantee that Duan Qian will have some magic weapons to resist the cold. If the other party tracks up and finds the cave, it will be very bad."
The cave under the glacier is Ye Chunyang's last line of defense. He must ensure the safety of this place.
After thinking for a while, he immediately lingered in the cold fog.
On the one hand, he can use this to hide his whereabouts, and on the other hand, he can also spy on Duan Qian's movements in secret.
This lasted for half a month. After confirming that no one had entered Xishanling, Ye Chunyang came to the cave with confidence.
To be on the safe side, he set up thirty-three forbidden spells outside the cave, planted a fragrant grass, and asked Ye Xiaobao to guard it, while he went into the cave to retreat.
When he was at the Bone Cliff of Lingyun Sect, he had the opportunity to advance to the middle stage of foundation building.
This time, he would release the suppression here and break through in one fell swoop, but the advancement of cultivation is the most important thing. Not only should he avoid being disturbed, but he should also use various elixirs to help stabilize it, otherwise there is a risk of failure in the impact.
The fragrant grass has the effect of attracting monsters. With these thirty-three forbidden spells and Ye Xiaobao guarding here, as long as he does not encounter a monster of the first level or higher, Ye Xiaobao can kill it with one knife.
After taking all precautions, Ye Chunyang entered the cave with peace of mind.
In the cave, except for the broken teleportation array left on the stone platform, everything is the same as before.
Ye Chunyang has been familiar with this place for a long time, but when he returned to the old place, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. He didn't expect that in this huge Dongzhou, there is only this little place for him to stand.
After pondering for a while, he took something out of his Qiankun bag.
He has many treasures on his body. In addition to the commonly used Qiankun Bag, space jade gourds, spiritual spoons and other items are all stored on Ye Xiaobao, which can ensure safety and privacy.
At this time, what he took out from the Qiankun Bag was a roll of wordless parchment.
This volume was also obtained when he first came to this cave. It clearly recorded the route to the Silent City. Although he already knew where it was, he still had to study it carefully to be on the safe side.
Closing his eyes and focusing on it with his spiritual consciousness, a detailed map emerged in Ye Chunyang's mind, in which all the sects and sects in the world of immortal cultivation in Dongzhou, as well as various dangerous and restricted areas, were recorded.
And somewhere on the map, there is an ancient city marked, which is the city of silence that is said to be able to defeat both good and evil.
Ye Chunyang felt happy. After confirming the route to the city, he withdrew from his consciousness and sat cross-legged.
Although the Silent City is an excellent refuge, he has to pass through many sects along the way, so he must improve his cultivation as much as possible.
Otherwise, on the way to the Silent City, both the good and the evil would be alarmed, and he would not even be able to protect himself.
With this in mind, he immediately set up the alchemy furnace.
When he was in the Lingkun Cave at the bottom of the Blackwater River, he searched for a lot of natural materials and treasures. After planting in the jade gourd space and stimulating the birth with the spiritual spoon, the age and potency of the medicine increased to hundreds of years.
After thinking about it according to the ancient formula of the Holy Pattern Cauldron, he immediately started to refine the elixir.
Most of what he refines are elixirs that strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence, and can assist in breakthroughs and advancements.
This kind of elixir is very easy to refine, but the medicine used this time is an ancient thing, and it is refined according to ancient recipes. The effect of the medicine is naturally much stronger than most similar elixirs in the world today. At the same time, it consumes The time is also relatively longer.
Ye Chunyang had a lot of patience. After starting the furnace, he closed his eyes quietly, comprehended the Taoism, and waited for the elixir to form.
…
As spring passes and autumn comes, the cold wind remains the same on the Western Mountains, but three years have passed outside.
In the past three years, Ye Chunyang had not cared about worldly affairs, but earth-shaking changes had taken place in Dongzhou.
Since the ancient troll took over the demonic path, the four major sects of the demon sect have respected him and been completely unified.
Countless casual cultivators on Dongzhou also joined the Demon Cult one after another under coercion and inducement.
The demonic path is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and its power is unparalleled, until it is possible to reproduce the scene where the demonic path increased and disappeared tens of thousands of years ago.
When the demonic path was rampant, the seven sects of the righteous path had already formed an alliance, and small and medium-sized sects that were usually unable to compete with the demonic path also turned to them one after another.
Under such a situation, the two factions of good and evil frequently clashed, and the battles continued, and the war had swept across the Eastern Continent.
As the war between good and evil begins, ancient characters hidden on both sides also appear one after another.
It was even rumored that in a certain battle, an old monster from the middle stage of the alchemy formation took action from both the good and the evil paths. The two sides were in a stalemate, and in the end, a strong man from the right path died in the battle.
The fall of this position directly caused the momentum of the demonic path to surge, but the righteous path was depressed for a long time.
All in all, the situation in Dongzhou over the past three years has been turbulent and bloody.
Except for Xiuxian City, which explicitly prohibits fighting, any place may become a battlefield between good and evil.
Some people have also joked that nowadays, even if you go out, you may encounter monks fighting, or some people who are being hunted and killed. This shows how brutal the battle is...
In the past three years, although the good and evil forces have not stopped searching for Ye Chunyang, the latter has disappeared without a trace as if he has evaporated from the world.
Under such a complicated situation, all factions had no choice but to give up and devote themselves wholeheartedly to this war.
However, when this tragic war continued into the fourth year, the war suddenly subsided because a drastic change occurred that no one had expected.
The restriction of the Feng Lingque in the wild west was suddenly broken one day. Countless barbarian monks invaded the East Continent and occupied numerous immortal cities. Many sects near the Western Region were bloodbathed overnight, causing the East Continent to suffer internal and external troubles.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the two worlds had an irreconcilable hatred.
Although Dongzhou is in a civil war, the top leaders of both sides know that once the barbarians from the Western Region take advantage of the situation, neither good nor evil will be spared. The entire Dongzhou will become a barbaric land in the near future.
So both the good and the evil met at the top of the green mountain and signed a truce contract to jointly resist foreign enemies.
However, after monks from various factions gathered in Feng Lingque to resist the barbarians, the war here reignited again.
In the past, the civil war between good and evil in Dongzhou was limited to the factions in the world of immortality and did not involve the mortal realm.
However, the barbarians in the Western Region were ferocious. After invading the territory of Dongzhou, they killed everyone they saw. Even the old, young, women and children among ordinary mortals were not spared. In just a few months, rivers of blood flowed, mountains of corpses and withered bones covered the ground.
The monks in Dongzhou were furious when they saw this tragic situation. Although the good and the evil were fighting on their own, they spared no effort in resisting the barbarians. The masters of both sides used their best efforts. This caused a rare calm in the interior of Dongzhou...
However, Ye Chunyang, who was in seclusion in the cave, did not know all this. He did not slowly open his eyes until hundreds of high-grade elixirs were formed in the alchemy furnace.
