As Ni Jiayue returned to Liang Yan's body, only Wu Nian and Liang Yan were left in the barrier.
"Where is the prison where Master is being held? When will we set off?" Liang Yan asked impatiently.
"not busy."
Wu Nian smiled slightly: "Brother Linghu's 'Qing Ming Xin' was divided into four parts. You are one of the heirs. You might as well take advantage of this rare breathing opportunity to refine the 'Qing Ming Xin' first."
After hearing this, Liang Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."
He sat cross-legged on the spot, looking inwards with his spiritual consciousness, and saw a cyan ball of light floating above his Dantian, slowly rotating.
This ball of light is much smaller than the complete "Qingming Heart", and is about the same size as the Nine Turns Golden Pill in the body. It looks smart and elegant, like a breeze and white clouds, giving people a gentle feeling.
"This is the 'Qingming Heart' that Lord Linghu has cultivated for 180,000 years."
Liang Yan's face was solemn, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, silently circulated his spiritual power, and began to refine the cyan ball of light.
As the spiritual power circulated for a long time, "Qing Ming Xin" gradually emitted warm power, following Liang Yan's spiritual power flowing throughout the body, leading to the limbs and bones.
Gradually, green smoke emerged from the top of Liang Yan's head, and his cultivation level gradually improved.
Wu Nian was not surprised when he saw this, and just sat quietly aside to protect him.
As time went by, the aura on Liang Yan's body became stronger and stronger, reaching the peak after about a quarter of an hour, and could no longer improve after that.
"We have reached a bottleneck."
Liang Yan knew his situation well.
Although this "Qingming Heart" can improve his cultivation, it cannot help him overcome the bottleneck in front of him. The three disasters and nine disasters are the rules of heaven, and no one can surpass them.
Only by surviving the second disaster can his cultivation level grow again.
Somehow, an unprecedented crisis has enveloped him!
"It seems that this tribulation is more dangerous than any previous one!"
Liang Yan sighed secretly in his heart.
He could foresee that the disaster was coming. Although it was unclear what kind of disaster it was, judging from the current situation, it was most likely related to the Burial Emperor.
"There must be a connection between cause and effect!"
Today, Liang Yan is no longer an ignorant boy, and can initially perceive the laws of heaven's operation.
In addition to the most basic requirements such as understanding and xinxing, the main reason why he has been able to cultivate all the way to the current state in such a short period of time is that he was involved in the conflict between Linghu Bai and Emperor Zongtian by mistake.
In the chess game.
From an unknown overseas cultivator to a high-profile chess piece in this chess game, Liang Yan can be said to have achieved enlightenment through troubled times.
If there had been no chaos in the world, and no game between Linghu Bai and the Buried Emperor, there would be no Liang Yan today!
Correspondingly, Liang Yan also has to bear the consequences.
With the help of Linghu Bai's plan, he became enlightened in the chess game, but of course he will also suffer backlash, so his second disaster will be extremely difficult, and it is related to the chess game itself!
"It's a blessing, not a curse. You can't avoid disaster. What's supposed to come will eventually come!"
Liang Yan sighed in his heart, but was not pessimistic because he knew that this was what he had to bear.
"The road ahead is difficult, but if we can break through the sword mind state, there will be a glimmer of hope!"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan suddenly had a thought in his mind and looked inward, looking at the "Qing Ming Xin" floating above his dantian.
I saw strips of blue hair flowing inside the ball of light, exuding a strange and gentle power, like a breeze turning into clouds, which made people feel peaceful.
"This power seems to be able to repair the soul."
He immediately used the soul-splitting technique, carefully separated a ray of soul, and came near the "Qing Ming Heart". Sure enough, he felt a wonderful power that quickly merged his split soul with the original body.
This discovery made Liang Yan very happy!
You must know that the last step to condense the heart of the sword is "the unification of five souls"!
Those are five completely independent souls, with no priority or affiliation. If you want to fuse them again, it is impossible for Liang Yan to do it with his own strength. He must use external objects!
Before this, he had consulted a large amount of information, but could not find any natural and earthly treasures that could help him achieve this goal.
He never expected that the city lord, who had been cultivating the "Qing Ming Xin" for 180,000 years, would actually have hope of helping him realize the unification of his five souls!
At this moment, Liang Yan's mood was very complicated.
The city lord has passed away, but the traces of his existence have not been erased. The various backup tools left behind, including "Qing Ming Xin", are still guiding the direction of his progress.
Liang Yan took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
Now is not the time to condense the sword heart. Although Qing Mingxin is helping, the conditions in all aspects are only barely up to standard. Forcing it to condense would be dangerous.
Moreover, Liang Yan's method of achieving Kenshin is very unique. He needs to create a world within his body and create his own Kenshin universe. This process is very long, and even if it is successful, it will take at least several decades.
Given the current situation, we simply cannot wait that long!
"We can't break through for the time being. The first priority right now is to rescue the master and several mountain masters!"
Liang Yan thought of this and opened his eyes.
"Have you refined the 'Qingming Heart'?" Wu Nian looked over.
"Yeah." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
"Okay, it's almost time. Let's take you to see our allies."
Wu Nian smiled, then waved his hand, and the flag flag inserted in the center of the barrier immediately rose into the air and flew into his hand.
"This is the 'Jie Yin Shen Ban', which is a magic weapon of a Taoist friend. Taoist brother Linghu made arrangements before going to the 'Daluo Cave'. As long as he activates the 'White Cloud Flying Immortal Cauldron' according to the magic formula, he will be able to
Teleported to the location of the 'Connecting God Building' in an instant."
"I see."
Liang Yan glanced over and suddenly discovered that there were actually seven copper coin symbols on the back of the flag, which looked like the flag of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Huh?"
Before he could think more, the surrounding gray barrier gradually dispersed, revealing the scene outside.
All he saw was a cliff. He was sitting on a huge rock. There was a deep canyon below, winding and twisting, and it was an unknown number of miles long and an unknown number of miles deep. He couldn't even see it with the power of his spiritual consciousness.
The end.
"here it is"
Liang Yan was wondering to himself when he suddenly felt a breath wave not far away. Then, a voice suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Liang, you are here too!"
Hearing this voice, Liang Yan's heart moved and he turned around to look.
I saw that the other side of the cliff was shrouded in thick fog. There were several figures sitting or standing in the fog, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
Suddenly a man walked out of the fog, wearing green clothes and smiling.
The moment Liang Yan saw this person, his face was slightly startled.
He never expected that he would meet an acquaintance here, and he was also his old friend from Nanchui!
??????55.??????
"Sun Qianli? Why are you here!"
Although the appearance and temperament of the person in front of him were completely different from those before, Liang Yan still recognized him at a glance. It was Sun Qianli who was in the same lineage as him when he was studying Taoism in Yixing Pavilion!
"I should ask you this, why are you here?"
Sun Qianli looked at Liang Yan and then at Wu Nian behind him. He suddenly understood something and nodded to himself: "It seems that this is all arranged by senior Linghu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog rolled behind him, and another person came towards him.
"Brother Liang!"
The visitor was none other than "Ji Lai" whom we had met not long ago!
"you!"
The moment he saw Ji coming, Liang Yan felt excited for no reason. After staring at him carefully for a long time, he felt vaguely expectant.
But soon, he realized that he was overthinking it.
The plan in front of me is a real one. The city lord is dead and will never be resurrected.
Ji Lai touched his nose and said with some confusion: "Brother Liang, it's not the first time we've met, why do you keep staring at others? Is there something wrong with my face?"
"No."
Liang Yan looked away, the excitement in his eyes gradually disappeared, and sighed: "Why are you here?"
"After the Antarctic Immortal Continent was enveloped by a large formation, my master and I were separated. Not long ago, we were besieged by Beiming. Senior Linghu rescued me at the critical moment and then brought me here." Ji Lai briefly recounted his experience.
Read it again.
After hearing this, Liang Yan understood.
It seems that when Linghu Bai came to rescue Ji Lai, he watched part of his memory, and then pretended to be Ji Lai and infiltrated Luo Tianshan. The whole process was so seamless that even he, who was familiar with Ji Lai, was fooled.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan nodded secretly and looked at Sun Qianli next to him: "Brother Sun, why are you here?"
Sun Qianli smiled and said: "Of course I was invited by Linghu Bai to break the barrier outside the ghost prison."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
You must know that this Sun Qianli is a monk of the same generation as himself. Although he has a special secret treasure that conceals his aura, Liang Yan can roughly tell that he should be in the state of overcoming one difficulty to overcoming two difficulties.
If those saints were imprisoned in the "Ghost Prison", how could he, a monk in the Tribulation Realm, break the outer barrier?
Before Liang Yan could speak, Sun Qianli seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and laughed and said: "Brother Liang misunderstood, I just agreed to help, I am not the one who actually cracked the formation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mist rolled behind him and suddenly spread to both sides, revealing a passage about ten feet wide.
Whoosh!
Something flew through the air, but it was the "Receiving Divine Banner" in Wu Nian's hand. It escaped from his control and flew into the white mist on its own initiative.
A moment later, someone laughed in the mist and said: "Every disturbance is cultivation, several lives and deaths are endless, running around in the world is all for profit, gathering and dispersing are all illusions!"
Wu Nian was expressionless after hearing this. He just announced the Buddha's name, pulled Liang Yan up, and strode into the mist.
The two of them walked along the passage and walked deep into the thick fog. They saw a ten-foot-square altar in the distance.
There are thirty-six stone pillars around the altar, each of which is engraved with mysterious runes. In the middle sits a middle-aged man, wearing a brocade robe, extremely luxurious!
The "Jie Yin Shen Zhuan" was currently floating beside him, connected with his breath and integrated into one.
"Friend Zhong Dao, I've been waiting for a long time!"
When Wu Nian saw this person, he put his hands together and bowed.
The man named Zhong glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why are you alone, fellow Taoist Linghu?"
"Brother Linghu cannot come, I will be in charge of the affairs here." Wu Nian said calmly.
The man surnamed Zhong frowned, and then said with relief: "Well, I can only help you break the formation. As for what happens after breaking the formation, I can't help you."
Wu Nian nodded: "That's enough."
During the conversation, space fluctuations suddenly appeared in the distance, and then, a strong aroma of wine filled the air.
"smell good!"
Ji Lai's nose twitched, as if he was aroused by greed in his stomach.
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked towards the edge of the cliff.
I saw ripples in space there, and after a while, a donkey slowly walked out of the void.
There were more than a dozen wine gourds hung around the donkey's neck, and it kept making "bang bang bang!" sounds as it walked. Sitting on its back was a sloppy Taoist with a red nose, drunken eyes, and a cynical look.
.
Liang Yan knew this person!
"Senior Sanxiaozi?"
This person was the one who sealed the Yin Ming Gui Si back then. If his clones were included, he had already had a double relationship with Liang Yan.
"belch!"
Sanxiaozi burped, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Liang Yan through the gap.
"It's you. I was also curious about who Linghu Bai was interested in. It turns out it's you!"
"What? Did you disappoint your senior?" Liang Yan said with a smile.
"That's not the case, I've already seen that you are special!" Sanxiaozi said, picking a wine gourd and started drinking.
The donkey snorted and snorted: "You can drink as much as you want. When you go back to the ancestor, you will say that you drank too much. Let's see if the ancestor punishes you."
But Sanxiaozi didn't care: "Hiccup! If the ancestor wants to punish me, it means the ancestor is blind! He doesn't care about these billions of creatures, he only cares about his own way. I see that the top of Taixuan is covered with clouds and fog, and it has already escaped.
There is no humanity left in this world!"
After hearing this, the donkey's eyes changed, and he shouted: "Old drunkard, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't care about you! Don't say that we have the same odor, and we will fly away when disaster strikes, but I have to take the first step!"
"Oh, don't, don't!"
Sanxiaozi hurriedly hugged the donkey and said with a smile: "If you run away, what will happen to my wine? I can't live without you!"
The donkey spat: "I'll sprinkle it on you sooner or later!"
This man started bickering with each other, as if no one was around, and went on and on, leaving Liang Yan, Sun Qianli and others stunned.
It can be said that San Xiaozi is also a genuine saint, but he does not look like a saint at all. He is not as stable as Wu Nian, but he is just a drunkard!
"Fellow Taoist Sanxiaozi, please do something for me." Wu Nian couldn't help but interrupt them.
"Don't worry, it's all done." Sanxiaozi pressed the donkey's mouth and replied with a smile.
"That's good."
Wu Nian felt relieved and nodded slightly.
At this moment, the rock not far away suddenly cracked, and a huge middle-aged man wearing a purple robe walked out from the depths of the ground.
This man was dressed luxuriously, his face was pale, and he exuded an evil spirit. Although he deliberately restrained it, it still made people feel palpitating.
"Are you all ready?" the visitor asked in a deep voice.
