This trip went very smoothly. It was originally planned to take three months, but unexpectedly it only took more than two months to arrive.
Liang Yan stopped at the seaside and looked from a distance. He saw sparkling waves on the sea surface, as if there were countless stars twinkling and gauze swaying, making it difficult to distinguish dreams.
In the distance, spiritual mist rises from the sea, like a silver snake dancing wildly, and like a dragon tumbling!
"What a beautiful blue sea, it is indeed a wonderful sight!" Liang Yan nodded secretly.
This sea is located in the southwest of Dongyun Lingzhou. It has unique scenery and vast ocean, which is praised by the world.
There is a poem to prove it. The poem says:
The blue sky above and the yellow spring below fall, and both places are nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea. The mountain was in the ethereal place.
The exquisite pavilion is filled with five clouds, and there are many fairies among them.
One of them has a character named Tai Zhen, and his skin and appearance are all mixed up.
Liang Yan watched it for a moment, waved his sleeves, and a wooden boat appeared on the sea. Then he sat on the boat and crossed the sea.
Although the scenery of Biluo Sea is beautiful, it is also full of dangers. Not to mention the ferocious spiritual beasts wandering under the sea, let’s just say that the white mist also hides mysteries!
If a person who is not well-educated ventures into the sea, he is afraid that he will be buried here within a few miles!
This can be regarded as the natural barrier of Xuanji Island. Ordinary people are not qualified to go to the island.
Liang Yan was not afraid. He only had a small boat and crossed the sea as if walking on flat ground. The ferocious beasts under the sea sensed his aura and all hid far away. Who dared to get close?
Not long after, we entered the dense white mist.
The sea of fog rolled around, dragons and snakes soared, and there was a mysterious killing move hidden in it. It was obviously the defensive restriction of Xuanji Island!
"hehe."
Liang Yan smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, and saw the breeze dispersed, spreading the smoke on the sea.
With him as the center, within a radius of several miles, the sea surface is clear and flat, with no waves or waves.
All the surrounding defensive restrictions have failed, like vase decorations, they have no effect at all...
After walking through the dense white fog for two hours, the fog in front of me cleared up and I could smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
Liang Yan stood up from the boat and looked around, only to see a huge island appearing on the sea, with no end as far as the eye could see!
The island is surrounded by haze and colorful. The island has undulating mountains and countless pavilions. It looks very prosperous.
"It seems that this is Xuanji Island."
Liang Yan knew that he had arrived at his destination, so he waved his sleeves and steered the boat to the island.
As they approached the shore, they saw dozens of monks guarding the island. One of them had a red robe and long sleeves. When he saw Liang Yan from a distance, he immediately shouted:
"Which fellow Taoist is coming to Xuanji Island? Do you have an invitation letter from the island owner?"
Liang Yan took his time and waited for the boat to reach the shore before he smiled and said: "I'm looking for a way in Xia Liu, and I'm wandering to the southwest to practice, and I'm here uninvited!"
After hearing this, the red-robed monk's face instantly darkened.
"Go, go, go! Where did you come from, what do you think this place is? This is Mystery Island. If you know what you are looking for, leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will die without a burial place!"
It's no wonder that this person has a bad temper. Xuanji Island's reputation is so great that many people come here because of its reputation and want to go to the island to solve their puzzles.
As the elder on duty, he is naturally very troubled.
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly and did not retreat. Instead, he moved closer.
"court death!"
When the red-robed monk saw that he was advancing instead of retreating, he became furious. His aura emanated from his body, showing that he was in the realm of resolving calamity and overcoming three difficulties!
"Boy, I've seen people like you a lot. You're pretentious even if you have some skills. You don't think I'll let you in after you get out of the 'Mysterious Killing Array', do you?" the red-robed monk roared.
Liang Yan clasped his hands behind his back and said nothing.
But the aura on his body was emanating unreservedly at this moment.
Transform into a calamity realm and overcome two calamities!
The man in red robe sensed his cultivation level, his face changed slightly, and he froze on the spot.
But he quickly reacted, immediately dissipated the pressure, and laughed loudly: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist! How disrespectful!"
His attitude changed very quickly, without any sense of peacekeeping. At this time, he was already smiling, stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"I'm Zhou Chuan, Xuanji Island! I bumped into fellow Taoist just now. It was an unintentional act... Just because the Pindan Conference is approaching, there are many self-righteous juniors who want to sneak to the island. I am really annoyed. I just misjudged fellow Taoist.
My identity, please forgive me, fellow Taoist!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan secretly said, "Sure enough!"
The situation here is no different from what Ming Yizhou said. If you want to land on the island, you must either have an invitation letter from the island owner Baixiao layman, or you must have reached the realm of catastrophe-freeing or above.
Your own strength is hard currency wherever you go!
The thought in his mind turned around, and Liang Yan chuckled: "Fellow Taoist was joking. Liu came here uninvited and has already caused trouble to fellow Taoist. How can there be any intention of blaming him?"
Seeing his humble attitude, Zhou Chuan felt a good impression in his heart and said with a smile: "I see that my Taoist friend is extraordinary. This time I land on the island, I am afraid that I will occupy a place on the Hidden Dragon List!"
"There are so many heroes in the world, how dare Liu speak nonsense? Just try your best." Liang Yan said calmly.
Of course Zhou Chuan knew that this was self-effacing. In all the previous Dan Dan Conferences, among the cultivators in the Tribulation Realm who dared to come uninvited, which one did not have unique talents?
If he wasn’t a person of extraordinary magnificence, he wouldn’t come here to embarrass himself…
Thinking of this, Zhou Chuan became even more enthusiastic towards him and said with a smile: "This is your first time landing on the island, fellow Taoist. Let Zhou take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."
Liang Yan did not refuse, he held up his hands and said, "Then I'll do it to Brother Zhou."
"Haha, it should be."
Zhou Chuan waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "You must guard here. No one is allowed to pass without an invitation letter. If someone breaks in, you can use the sound transmission token to notify me."
"yes!"
The others nodded in agreement.
Zhou Chuan put on a smile again and said to Liang Yan: "Fellow Taoist, come with me."
The two soon landed on Xuanji Island.
There is a city on the island, with undulating mountains and graceful clouds in the city. Looking from the outside of the city, you can see countless treasure palaces, pearl towers, Qiongtai and jade buildings.
There is a line of inscriptions on both sides of the city gate.
On the left is: Wisdom and wisdom to the world!
On the right side is: Learn and comprehend the wonderful principles from all directions!
Letter: Never be confused for eternity
"This Xuanji Island has such a big tone!"
Liang Yan looked at the plaque on his head, his expression remained calm on the surface, but he secretly thought in his heart: "Xuanji Island is famous far and wide, and it claims to be able to solve puzzles for people all over the world. It should not be in vain. Regarding my seventh difficulty, maybe
I can figure it out here..."
While he was thinking about it, Zhou Chuan had already taken out a token from his sleeve and waved it towards the city gate.
As the glow flashes, the city gate opens automatically.
"Fellow Taoist, please!"
"Thank you."
The two of them walked into the city at the same time, then made a magic spell, activated the escape light, and flew along the mountain road.
Zhou Chuan's status on Xuanji Island was not low, and no one would stop him wherever he passed. He spent half a day taking Liang Yan to visit the island's scenery.
In the evening, the two stopped in front of a valley. Zhou Chuan chuckled and said: "The environment here is quiet and the spiritual energy is rich. This is the temporary cave I selected for my Taoist friends. Are you satisfied with it?"
"This place is very nice. Thank you for taking care of me, Brother Zhou." Liang Yan cupped his hands and thanked him.
Zhou Chuan nodded slightly and took out a token from his sleeve: "This is the identity token of fellow Taoist. With this token, you can move around most areas on the island."
Liang Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that the token was as gentle as jade, with a dark purple vortex on it.
Zhou Chuan added: "There are still fifteen days left before the Pindan Conference. If you are in a leisurely and elegant mood, you might as well go to the Drunken Immortal Valley to sit down."
The two of them have just been to the "Drunken Immortal Valley" where there are female cultivators trained by Xuanji Island. They are all graceful and graceful. They are specially used to receive guests and will meet all the guests' needs.
Liang Yan didn't dare to be interested in this, but politely thanked him.
Zhou Chuan seemed to notice his lack of interest, so he added: "Besides the 'Drunken Immortal Valley', there is another place worth visiting, and that is Moyun Villa."
"Moyun Villa?"
Liang Yan remembered that he had been to this place just now, but the door was closed and not opened. The two of them just took a look from a distance and left.
"Moyun Villa is a trading place we opened for everyone to exchange what they have, but it's not open yet, so we have to wait a few more days."
"oh?"
When Liang Yan heard this, he immediately became interested.
When he left seclusion this time, his original plan was to attend an exchange meeting of high-level monks or an auction held by a chamber of commerce, hoping to buy high-quality cave-heaven magic weapons to feed to Xiao Jiu.
Unfortunately, this plan was disrupted by the arrival of the seventh difficulty.
The unknown sense of urgency drove Liang Yan to focus on understanding his seventh difficulty. As for other things, he put them to the back...
But I didn't expect that there would actually be an exchange meeting on Xuanji Island, which would kill two birds with one stone.
"Those who are qualified to challenge the 'Hidden Dragon List' must not be ordinary people. The quality of this exchange meeting should be not low... If I can exchange for a good cave magic weapon here, maybe I can refine the first sword spirit."
Come."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan's face showed a smile: "But I don't know when this exchange meeting will start?"
"Three days later."
Zhou Chuan explained patiently: "This exchange meeting is divided into two levels: the inner and outer levels. The outer level is mostly attended by monks on the Tianjiao List, whose cultivation level does not exceed the Tongxuan realm. If you want to enter the inner level, you must at least have a cultivation level above the Tribulation Realm.
Because, and there must be something that can be traded.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded: "I see, thank you fellow Taoist for clearing up the confusion."
"Haha, I am a guest from afar. Zhou is just doing his best to show his friendship as a landlord. I look forward to Fellow Daoist Liu's performance at the Pindan Conference."
After Zhou Chuan finished speaking, he cupped his fists and saluted him, then turned into a ray of light and flew away into the distance.
Liang Yan waited for him to leave, then turned around and entered the valley.
I saw that the environment in the valley is quiet and full of aura. There is an attic in the middle with high eaves, elegant and unique. It is indeed a good temporary cave.
"No wonder Xuanji Island can stand between the Taoist and Confucian sects, and is so enthusiastic about a casual cultivator of unknown origin like me. It is indeed so exquisite..." Liang Yan thought to himself.
This Xuanji Island seems to be alone, but behind the scenes it may involve the interests of all parties. I don’t know how many people are making deals with them secretly. It is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface...
"It seems like we need to be careful." Liang Yan felt a little wary.
Although he is not afraid of the monks on Xuanji Island, he does not want to get involved in disputes rashly, especially since the disaster is unknown and he must not cause more troubles.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan set up a barrier around the valley and carefully checked inside the valley. After confirming that there were no problems, he walked into the attic with confidence.
He found a random place to sit down and began to think about the plan for this operation.
"It's not good to ask others about the disaster. It's best to verify it yourself..." Liang Yan murmured to himself.
Recalling what Ming Yizhou said, there are over a million books on Xuanji Island, and there should be a place similar to the Sutra Pavilion. If you can find it and sneak in quietly, you might be able to get the answer you want.
"In important places like the Sutra Pavilion, there are usually magic circles that isolate the detection of spiritual consciousness. It is difficult to search without being noticed. Especially for people like me who have unknown origins, it is even harder to ask...
…”
Liang Yan fell into deep thought.
After a while, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "How could I forget him!"
After saying that, my heart moved, and the shadow behind me gradually lengthened!
A moment later, a skinny man with a surly face emerged from Liang Yan's shadow.
"Hey, why did you call me out again?"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, the surrounding temperature dropped a few points.
It was clear that the sky was clear and cloudless outside the window, but there was an eerie atmosphere in the attic for no reason.
"There are so many people on Xuanji Island that I can't do it myself. You are good at pretending to ambush and help me find out where the Scripture Deposit Pavilion is." Liang Yan ordered.
"It's a piece of cake."
The man smiled solemnly, said nothing, turned around and turned into a puff of vague black smoke, gradually disappearing into the attic...
Watching this person leave, Liang Yan nodded slightly.
He knew Ni Jiayue's abilities well. He was once a saint. Although he died once, he has now reshaped his body and his strength is among the top among the sub-sages.
It can be said that, except for Liang Yan, Ni Jiayue is almost invincible among saints.
Moreover, this person is extremely good at assassination and lurking, and his methods are tricky. Any matter that is not convenient for Liang Yan to deal with personally can be left to him to handle.
After all, even if Ni Jiayue made a mistake and was discovered by the owner of Xuanji Island, it was none of Liang Yan's business.
After sending Ni Jiayue away, Liang Yan didn't think much more and just sat cross-legged and meditated in the attic, waiting for the arrival of the exchange meeting at Moyun Villa.
Time flew by and it was the early morning of the third day in a blink of an eye.
Liang Yan slowly woke up from his trance and glanced outside the house. The scenery was still the same and the sun was shining brightly.
However, Ni Jiayue has not come back yet.
"With his strength, he actually encountered trouble. It seems that this mysterious island is far more complicated than I thought..."
Liang Yan sighed softly, and then stood up from the futon.
Today is the day when the exchange meeting is held, so he will naturally not let this opportunity pass by.
When it comes to Liang Yan's wealth, it can't even be described as being as rich as a sect. He owns all the inheritance of Tianji Pavilion and was the city lord of Wushuang City.
In comparison, the resources collected from more than ninety sects in Yunmeng Mountain are actually nothing more than a big witch...
"I hope there will be high-quality cave magic weapons at this exchange meeting."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan pinched the magic formula in his hand and turned into light and left the valley...
