In the few remaining days, Chen Yun made use of the various materials given by the old man named Cheng.
As well as some puppet remains obtained from the Xutian Palace in the past, he carefully refined a Nascent Soul level puppet.
In fact, Chen Yun’s original materials were enough to refine several Nascent Soul-level puppets. However, surprisingly, the failure rate of these materials during the refining process was extremely high.
The materials were originally enough to refine three or four, but in the end only one was successful.
Faced with this result, Chen Yun felt extremely regretful and at the same time had a headache.
Chen Yun, the current outstanding figure and leader in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world, has become well-known to everyone here.
The monks were surprised and showed expressions of reverence and awe.
"If the person in front of you is Senior Chen, then there is no need to report this further."
"I have already received the special permission from Senior Zhiyang. You can pass directly once you arrive. I will lead you to Linggui Island now."
The woman dressed in palace dress spoke with great respect, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Chen Yun nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and said no more.
The woman in palace dress said a few words to the monk behind her, and then led Chen Yun to gallop towards the rear.
A blurry black shadow in the distance gradually became clear. It turned out to be an island not very large, covering an area of about 20 to 30 square kilometers.
"Senior Chen, this is Lingfeng Island occupied by our Hehuan Sect, and Linggui Island owned by Taizhen Sect is located in another place nearby."
The woman seemed to understand that this was Chen Yun's first time here, so she explained the situation carefully.
Chen Yun looked in the direction the woman pointed, but due to the distance, he could not see the other island clearly for a while.
However, on the other side, at that enormous spiritual source, the majestic spiritual fluctuations were becoming more and more dense.
Such powerful spiritual energy is undoubtedly the vortex that erupts a large amount of spiritual energy in the legend.
Chen Yun was thinking silently in his heart as he followed the woman in palace dress and galloped away again.
By the time we saw the so-called Linggui Island, more than an hour had passed.
This island is slightly larger than the Lingfeng Island previously occupied by the Hehuan Sect. Looking down from above, its outline does resemble a spirit turtle.
Before approaching the island, the woman in palace dress had already sent out a sound transmission note.
Therefore, when Chen Yun and the other person just flew to the edge of the island, a white light quickly came towards them from the island.
"Could it be Fellow Daoist Zhiyang? Fellow Daoist came to greet me personally. I am truly flattered!"
Seeing this familiar escaping light, Chen Yun immediately stopped and sent a message from a distance.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen is a man of his word. I should naturally welcome him in person."
Master Zhiyang seemed quite delighted to see Chen Yun, and responded in the same loud voice.
Afterwards, the white light flew to a place more than ten feet in front of Chen Yun. The light gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of the Taoist priest.
Chen Yun smiled slightly and bowed to the other party.
"Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the cave to have a chat. I have already informed fellow Daoist Wei Wuya."
"As for that old monster He Huan, he is busy with important matters and cannot come here for the time being."
Master Zhiyang told the woman in palace dress to go back first, and he turned around and spoke to Chen Yun with a smile.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
Chen Yun did not raise any objection, and the two of them quickly flew to the island.
During the flight, Chen Yun used his spiritual sense to scan the entire island, and his brows inadvertently frowned slightly.
There is indeed an outstanding small spiritual vein on the island, about ten miles wide.
There are not many practitioners on the island, but each of them has unfathomable levels of cultivation.
However, unlike what Chen Yun expected, there were no low-level cultivators on the island, which made Chen Yun feel puzzled!
Not long after, under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Chen Yun successfully entered a newly opened cave.
This cave is located inside an inconspicuous stone mountain. It is spacious and well-arranged.
Chen Yun followed Master Zhiyang into a hall, where they both sat down. Two Taoist boys then served them fragrant tea.
After taking a sip of the tea, Chen Yun began to talk in a low voice with Master Zhiyang.
This old man, who is one of the three great cultivators, did not seem to be in a hurry to mention the reason for inviting Chen Yun here.
Instead, he leisurely introduced Chen Yun in detail the surrounding sea areas and the various sects occupying the Seven Spirits Island, with a calm attitude of staying out of the matter.
Obviously, before Wei Wuya arrived at the cave, Master Zhiyang had not revealed any information to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but pretended to be unaware of it and continued to talk to Master Zhiyang politely and seemingly casually.
However, just half an hour later, Wei Wuya followed behind and also arrived outside the cave.
Then, under the guidance of the Taoist boy, his figure was instantly reflected in the hall.
Once they met Chen Yun openly, they naturally continued with the usual practice of exchanging a few hypocritical pleasantries.
From the surface, Wei Wuya's skin looked as clear as crystal and his face was extremely rosy.
It seemed as if he had fully recovered the huge amount of true energy he lost in the fierce battle when he fell into the Demon Valley, and he looked full of energy.
This made Chen Yun secretly sigh in his heart.
According to the information he had learned, the true energy lost by this famous monk Wei in the fierce battle when he fell into the Demon Valley last time was not just a little bit.
He was able to fully recover his vitality in such a short time. It seemed that he must have taken a lot of rare elixirs.
Wei Wuya seemed very decisive. As soon as he sat firmly on the chair, he immediately turned to Chen Yun and asked:
"Brother Zhiyang, have you informed Fellow Daoist Chen of the details of this matter?"
"Of course not. Things like this are best discussed when two of the three of us are present."
"Since Brother Wei is already waiting here, why don't you tell Brother Wei about this matter in person to Fellow Daoist Chen? I can just provide some additional explanations on the side."
Master Zhiyang replied in an elegant and calm manner.
"Okay, then let Wei make the speech on your behalf! This matter can no longer be delayed. If it is delayed any further, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous!"
After a little thought, Wei Wuya decided decisively to take on this responsibility.
"The consequences are disastrous?"
When Chen Yun heard this, his face immediately showed strong interest. It seemed that this matter was indeed very important.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I will make it short. In fact, this matter is closely related to that ancient demon."
Wei Wuya's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Chen Yun. "Could it be that the ancient demon was seriously injured and fled far away?"
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"That's true. But, fellow Daoist, don't you think the timing of the appearance of this vortex is too coincidental?"
"Not long after we drove out the ancient demon, this strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the boundless sea. In addition, we found some indisputable evidence around the whirlpool."
"Fellow Daoist, you should know that when the ancient demon was besieged by us, he slaughtered some immortal cultivation families and small sects."
"The three of us later discovered that these families and sects were actually the forces that hid magic weapons or were rumored to possess magic weapons. Among them, three magic weapons were actually taken away by this ancient demon."
"And in a hidden place near this great whirlpool, we found the remains of one of the long-lost magic weapons."
"It seemed to have endured a huge force and was completely destroyed."
"Therefore, we suspect that the ancient demon first came to the Boundless Sea and used some means."
"Then he was defeated by our demon-suppression team in other places, and eventually fled Tiannan with serious injuries."
Wei Wuya explained with a serious expression.
“Is there something wrong with this mysterious vortex that suddenly appeared?”
"Otherwise, even if the ancient demon did use some means, you three fellow Taoists would not be so serious about it."
Chen Yun pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Brother Chen is right. If this vortex was just spewing out spiritual energy and seven small islands emerged, why would the three of us be so concerned about it?"
"The key point is that we discovered that this so-called big vortex was actually the center of a large sealing formation thousands of years ago."
"And these seven spiritual islands are only a part of this magic formation. Fellow Daoist, you should understand the seriousness of this."
Master Zhiyang smiled helplessly.
"A sealing array? What kind of existence needs to be sealed that would require such a large-scale array?"
Chen Yun's face finally became shocked and horrified.
Although he did not know the actual size of the formation, the huge and long distance between the seven islands was enough to imagine the grandeur of the formation.
"That's exactly what we want to know. But I have no idea."
"But it is obvious that the things sealed inside must be inextricably linked to the mysterious ancient demon world and the ancient demon beasts."
"Therefore, I'm afraid I still need to ask Brother Zhiyang for answers to these questions."
"After all, you were the first person to go deep into and observe the bottom of that huge vortex that day."
Wei Wuya stated slowly and rigorously.
"I really don't have the right to speak on this kind of topic. You two also witnessed the scene there with your own eyes later on."
"In fact, the bottom of this huge vortex is filled with bottomless, inky black demonic energy. It is difficult to detect its depth."
"We can only rely on the pure spiritual energy contained in the vortex to suppress it and prevent it from breaking through the seal."
"However, once this suppression fails, it will inevitably bring an unprecedented catastrophe to our Tiannan. At that time, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the entire Tiannan will change drastically in an instant."
“Even I myself have begun to doubt whether the Boundless Sea used to be this terrifying scene. The reason for all this may be related to the endless evil energy deep in the seabed!”
The Taoist explained his point of view in a calm tone.
"Friend Chen has already observed the current appearance of this place."
"Obviously, the center of the seal has been damaged. The spiritual energy in the vortex is gradually dissipating. One day, this force will no longer be able to suppress the evil energy below."
"Once the demonic energy gushes out, at least half of the southern region will be severely affected, making this place no longer suitable for us cultivators to practice."
"And Luoyun Sect happens to be near the Boundless Sea, so it will definitely be the first to be affected."
Wei Wuya stated helplessly.
After hearing these words, Chen Yun fell into silence.
"Then the seniors who suddenly invited me here must have found a way to resolve this crisis!"
"Otherwise, if even you are unable to do anything, then I will naturally be helpless too."
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly.
Although the outbreak of demonic energy will undoubtedly bring great disaster to their Luoyun Sect, the Demon Sect and the Righteous Alliance will also be unable to escape.
Only the Nine-Nation Alliance seems to be able to stay out of the matter because of its relatively remote geographical location.
However, once the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in half of Tiannan is lost in large quantities, how can the Nine-Nation Alliance really rest easy?
The various sects that have lost their cultivation environment will inevitably start a war again to compete for new cultivation resources.
Therefore, at this moment, Chen Yun gradually calmed down.
"Since the three of us became aware of this huge threat, we immediately searched for relevant information and tried to find a solution."
"Finally, we did find some information related to this sealing array."
"It's really surprising to say that this actually involves the history of the Great Jin Cultivation World."
When Wei Wuya said this, he turned his gaze to Master Zhiyang, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Da Jin?" Chen Yun was stunned when he heard this.
"Does Daoyou Chen know the origin of these classics?"
Master Zhiyang asked with a wry smile, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Does the Master mean that..."
Chen Yun seemed to have guessed something and also looked surprised.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Chen has already guessed it. The detailed information about this ancient sealing formation was actually found in a secret scroll of our Taizhen Sect that has been sealed for many years and is little known to the public."
"At the same time, we also discovered a long history of our Taizhen Sect. It turns out that in ancient times, our Taizhen Sect was a branch of the Zhenji Sect, one of the three major sects in the Great Jin Cultivation World."
"And we chose to move here in the first place precisely to protect this ancient sealing formation."
The Taoist explained with a wry smile on his face.
"Did the noble sect once originate from Dajin?"
When Chen Yun heard the news, he was quite surprised and couldn't help but be stunned.
He replied:
"That is true. However, that is the past that has been forgotten in history. Time has passed and it is now a long way away." (End of this chapter)
