Although Chen Shuangbai only spent a short time studying the [ Diagram of the Flying Immortal Ascending to Clarity ], he benefited greatly from it.
I felt completely relaxed and refreshed, my eyes shone with light, and I had a blissful feeling.
This is precisely the meaning of "[Flying Immortal]".
However, Chen Shuangbai's cultivation was not up to par. If he rashly allowed this power to emanate, the most likely consequence would be the dissipation of his soul and the annihilation of his physical body, leaving him as a soulless corpse.
Therefore, he gradually dissipated this powerful feeling, and only then did he regain a sense of groundedness.
As he comprehended the [ Diagram of the Flying Immortal Ascending to Clarity, the jade wall in front of him gradually began to emit light.
final.
This jade disc, seemingly growing on the rock face, shone brightly and transformed into a miniature jade disc, which landed in Chen Shuangbai's palm.
This is... the refinement!
Chen Shuangbai disc in her palm, watching it float quietly in her hand. The more she looked at it, the stranger it seemed, and the more peculiar it became.
"Brother Dao..."
"Um?"
Fang Xiao also looked at the shrunken jade disc and thought to himself that although human cultivators were weak, their ingenious ideas in cultivation were far superior to those of them, a group of demons.
"Don't you think... this should only be part of something?"
"Is there?"
Chen Shuangbai withdrew her gaze, calmly glancing at the Golden Core demon. Her eyes held a strange expression, and she belatedly saw Fang Xiao's reaction, her teeth itching with hatred.
He suspected...
wrong!
This Foundation Establishment kid is looking down on himself!
Chen Shuangbai took the refined jade disc back.
This thing... is clearly not a complete object... it's more like a piece that's been torn off from something whole... Is it a palace? Or something else?
However, there is too little information available at present, and making wild guesses would be a waste of time.
His gaze returned to the spot where the jade disc had been inlaid. Beyond the cave entrance lay a vast and wondrous world.
This is clearly the location of a cultivator's cave abode.
"Such pure Spiritual Qi!"
Fang Xiao took a deep breath, a look of surprise in his eyes, " The Spiritual Qi here is far superior to that outside, and it seems... exceptionally peaceful, making it easy to refine and absorb."
Chen Shuangbai also seemed to understand and nodded.
This Spiritual Qi is balanced and peaceful, without any harshness or impurities, clearly the result of a long period of refinement and sedimentation by an array.
A man and a beast went inside.
However, Chen Shuangbai did not rush in. Instead, she instructed Fang Xiao to seal the entrance.
Fang Xiao asked, puzzled, "What's the point of sealing it up?"
"First, to prevent someone from following us and plotting against us."
"Secondly, this place is still the territory of the Spirit-Seeking Sect. We must prevent the aura of this place from leaking out and attracting their Golden Core to search for it, which would be difficult to handle!"
Fang Xiao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
He was born of nature and only gained the ability to think independently after achieving the Golden Core. However, because he was formed from the earth's Sha Qi, the Sha Qi entered his brain, affecting his thinking. He often needed several explanations to understand.
Upon officially setting foot in this place
Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of this underground space.
Unlike the ancient cultivators' cave abode he had visited before, this cave abode was significantly more luxurious.
The space was extremely open and the ceiling was invisible, indicating that many years had passed and the formation was still in operation.
The surrounding area and the dome are all made of smooth, mirror-like white jade walls, which are also carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, including cloud patterns, water ripples, celestial birds, and spiritual herbs. However, the carving style here is different from the " Diagram of the Flying Immortal Ascending to Clarity at the entrance, which is full of Daoist charm.
The carvings here are more decorative and record-keeping, depicting peaceful scenes such as daily life in the cave abode, immortals preaching, and mythical beasts playing. The craftsmanship is superb and the carvings are lifelike.
The soft white light emanated from within these jade walls, evenly illuminating the entire space.
Beneath your feet are smooth white jade slabs, forming a wide passage that leads straight into the depths.
Everywhere you look, there are luxurious and exquisite decorations. Luminous pearls, the size of pigeon eggs, are inlaid in the grooves of the decorations, gleaming with a faint light. When the wind blows, an unknown song can be heard.
"Wait... where is that singing coming from?"
Fang Xiao immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. With a wave of his sleeve, a yellow light flickered, protecting Chen Shuangbai behind him.
Chen Shuangbai didn't rush to pay attention to the singing, but instead focused her gaze on the Golden Core demon who was half a step ahead of her, and nodded in satisfaction.
It seems... this Sha Beast is indeed teachable.
With the protection of this powerful demon at the Golden Core stage, Chen Shuangbai actually had little fear.
certainly.
If a Nascent Soul were to suddenly appear in such a remote and hidden place... then Chen Shuangbai would have no choice but to accept defeat.
I blame my bad luck.
Fortunately, there was indeed no one in the cave abode.
As they traveled, they passed through many places, and even discovered that the owner of this cave abode had specially built separate courtyards for his servants and similar figures, which were equally luxurious in decoration and design.
It doesn't seem like a place for cultivators to cultivate in seclusion, but rather like the mansions or villas of princes and nobles in the mortal world.
It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Things have changed ahead.
At the end of the passage, an even taller and more exquisite white jade screen wall blocked the way.
Above the screen wall are three characters.
Chen Shuangbai didn't recognize it, but Fang Xiao tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and read it aloud.
"Chengming... Prefecture?"
" Clear Abode?"
Chen Shuangbai was certain that the three characters in front of him did not resemble the script used in the cultivation world, nor the script used in the mortal world, nor the script used by the "wild men" of Great Li Mountain, but Fang Xiao recognized them!
"Demon text?"
Fang Xiao shook his head and said, "It looks a bit like it, but also a bit different, but I recognized it."
What kind of answer is that?
Fang Xiao isn't a descendant of a divine beast... nor does he have those inherited memories in his bloodline... so how could he recognize him?
Fang Xiao added, "I recognize the demon script. The base of these three characters should also be demon script, but with some variations. It should be a new script that evolved over time based on demon script."
"Perhaps I recognize those three words."
After hearing Fang Xiao's explanation, Chen Shuangbai's doubts were somewhat relieved.
That could be offered a forced explanation.
The entire white jade hall was shrouded in a layer of restrictions.
The man and the beast tried to enter, but were stopped at the outside.
Fang Xiao is trying to use brute force again.
But Chen Shuangbai glared at him, and then, under his puzzled gaze, stepped forward, raised her hand, and gently tapped it. The light of the barrier gradually dissipated, and she was able to enter.
"Um?"
"This restriction is a relatively old version. Although most sects' array masters don't communicate much these days, someone did unify it once before."
"Most of the ancient restrictions have been broken by now."
Fang Xiao was momentarily stunned, only muttering to himself, "Array formations... you know them too?"
