Cheng Songting was angry, and when he subconsciously looked at Cheng Yang, he was instantly furious. Even now, the scoundrel still didn't give up, and still peeked at the witch from time to time, with resentment and obsession in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the nameless fire in his heart suddenly burned, and he wished he could immediately strangle this unsatisfactory thing to death.
"Pah..." Unable to bear it anymore, he slapped the other person on the face. It was obviously a bit harsh and he didn't stop his hand. Cheng Yang burst into tears from the pain and asked angrily,
"Dad...why did you hit me?"
"Why?" The other party dared to talk back. How could Cheng Songting suppress the anger in his heart? He was about to take action again, but was immediately stopped by the man surnamed Liu beside him.
"Brother Cheng, pay attention to the occasion." The man surnamed Liu reminded, and at the same time scolded Cheng Yang opposite,
"What are you doing here, kid? Hurry up and admit your mistake to Daddy."
"Uncle Liu..." Because of his father's old-fashioned and serious nature, he has been closest to the man named Liu since he was a child. Therefore, when Cheng Yang heard what the other party said, he did not contradict him verbally, but he could not hide the grievance in his eyes.
"Don't you know why Brother Cheng is angry?" The man surnamed Liu also hates the iron that cannot be made into steel. The other party is the young island owner of Kamikaze Island. He was raised as the heir since he was a child, so his qualifications are naturally not bad. It's a pity that he is obsessed with his children's personal relationship, which is really useless. After a pause, he continued,
"Think about your own situation. Although there is Kamikaze Island behind you, your own strength is the foundation. If you think about it from another perspective, if you were a woman in the Core Formation stage, would you look up to a junior in the Foundation Establishment stage? What's more, Master Wang She is not an ordinary female cultivator in the alchemy stage, she is the leader of a sect, and her vision cannot be low."
"I..." Cheng Yang was speechless by what the other party said. Although he had secretly made up his mind to practice well, he could not ignore the fact. At least he was still in the foundation building stage.
"This experience is not entirely a bad thing. You should also understand that some things are about fate and cannot be forced." The man surnamed Liu patted the other party's shoulder seriously and suddenly sighed,
"Not just Brother Cheng, all the uncles and uncles on Kamikaze Island, including Liu, have watched you grow up and have high expectations for you. You are no longer young now, and you should understand that you have Responsibility, this is not something you can escape if you want to..."
"Uncle Liu, I..." Cheng Yang wasn't really confused, but he couldn't control emotional matters. After hearing the other party's sincere persuasion, I couldn't help but feel guilty.
As for admitting his mistake to his father, he would never do it. At this time, he finally figured out that he was indeed at fault, but it was just his lack of strength. Otherwise, why would his father take action against him, and how could Ying'er always deliberately stay away from him?
"Uncle Liu, I want to break into Tianfeng Cave!"
"Tianfeng Cave!" Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Liu frowned and immediately shouted,
"No, that is not a good place. If you enter it with your strength, you will almost escape death."
"I know!" Cheng Yang nodded, but still insisted,
"You also understand my situation. My qualifications can only be considered good, but not top-notch. The chance of breaking through the core formation in the future is not high. Only by going through the baptism of Tianfeng Cave can I be more sure."
"That's not okay. You are just out of anger and joking with your own life..." The man surnamed Liu tried to persuade him again, but was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Songting.
"Let him go."
"Brother Cheng!" The man surnamed Liu's expression changed, but the other man stared directly at Cheng Yang and said,
"As a father, I am very pleased that you have such courage. If you want to go, then go, but not now. Go after you break through the pill formation."
"father……"
"That's it!" Cheng Songting didn't give the other party a chance to refute. How dangerous is Tianfeng Cave? What is the difference between a monk in the foundation building stage entering it and seeking death? Even monks in the Dan-formation stage cannot guarantee that everything will be foolproof. As a father, how could he watch the other person die out of anger?
The man surnamed Liu on the side heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. After forming the pill, entering Tianfeng Cave will be much less dangerous.
As for Cheng Yang, he finally worked up the courage, but found that his thoughts were not important at all, and he could only feel depressed and did not want to talk anymore.
…
Time passed slowly, and more than half an hour passed, but there was still no movement on the pagoda. With anxiety in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but look at Mo Juren again.
Before the latter could respond, the pagoda in front suddenly reacted. Contrary to what everyone expected, the main door on the first floor slowly opened, and Xu Qingcheng stepped out.
Such a scene surprised everyone, even Mo Juren was no exception. He guessed that the opponent had most likely mastered the tower, and that was why he walked out of the main entrance on the first floor so calmly.
At this time, Xu Qingcheng was obviously in a good mood, and her crystal eyes flashed with joy from time to time. When he got close, he didn't hesitate and said immediately:
"I have roughly determined the location of the teleportation array. It is at the other end. Everyone, please follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the sky and flew towards the distance at high speed.
Everyone showed surprise. They had tried it when they first entered the mountain area. As long as they flew high into the sky, they would feel an inexplicable horror in their hearts.
The opponent was worthy of being a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage, yet he was so unscrupulous that the thick gray mist in mid-air could not affect the opponent at all.
Everyone did not have the guts to follow suit, and still chose to rush on land. Although the speed was a little slower, it did not affect it. When they reached the mountain area and there were no restrictions, they also flew high into the sky and chased after each other.
The underground world is really not small. After flying for half an hour, we still haven't reached the end. But at this moment, Xu Qingcheng had stopped and flew directly to the ground somewhere.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, and looked around after falling.
This is a dense forest, and there is a small lake not far away in front of us, with a diameter of only more than a hundred feet.
The lake is very calm, and there is nothing strange about it.
However, when everyone let go of their spiritual consciousness and explored the surface of the lake, they immediately discovered an abnormality. There was actually a hexagonal stone platform built under the water. Based on everyone's experience, it was basically certain that this must be a teleportation array.
Xu Qingcheng did not hesitate. She waved her jade arm gently, and a burst of magic power instantly hit the stone platform in the lake. The next moment, the water surface surged rapidly, and the hexagonal stone platform began to rise slowly.
But in a blink of an eye, the stone platform had surfaced, and now everyone could clearly see the entirety of the ancient teleportation array. The area is not large, only two feet long and wide. However, both in shape and style, it is completely different from today's teleportation array.
"This is a one-way teleportation array. I don't know where it leads. Who is willing to be the first to try?" Xu Qingcheng asked directly with the jade arm retracted.
Hearing this, everyone showed hesitation in their eyes. This is an ancient teleportation array that has existed for countless thousands of years. It is unknown where it leads, and it is even uncertain whether it will suddenly be damaged halfway through the teleportation.
Everyone cherishes their lives. Who would be willing to use his own life to ask for directions? If something goes wrong, it's really over.
Xu Qingcheng did not rush, but took her time and waited for everyone to make a decision.
As the leaders of the three parties, Cheng Songting, Qin Yue and Mo Juren are naturally the ones who call the shots. However, Mo Juren is an exception. Firstly, he is the strongest, and secondly, there are only three women in the Miaoyin Sect. Out of respect for the strong, or because of the slightest face issue, it is not easy to let the other party come first.
Cheng Qin looked at each other, made a vague decision, and then each selected a foundation-building disciple.
A generous promise is naturally indispensable. Even though the foundation-building disciple is unwilling to admit it in his heart, he even behaves very positively, showing that he is willing to go through fire and water for the sect master.
After all the two foundation-building stage disciples flew up to the teleportation formation, Cheng Songting waved his hand, and dozens of mid-level spiritual stones were embedded in the surrounding depressions.
In an instant, the originally peaceful teleportation array suddenly began to vibrate, followed by bursts of muffled sounds.
The two people in the formation were all pale at the moment. Even though they had been so positive before, they were really feeling uneasy when facing an unknown situation.
Fortunately, the two of them did not worry for too long, but in the time it took them to breathe, a dazzling white light flashed by, and the formation was completely empty.
The ancient teleportation array had been operating well from beginning to end, which made the rest of the people heave a sigh of relief. No matter what the situation is at the other end, at least you don't have to worry about problems happening halfway, which can be regarded as directly reducing the risk by half.
As a result, everyone no longer hesitated. They couldn't avoid this step anyway, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet. First came the Kamikaze Island, then the Corpse Jade Sect. After a while, only Xu Qingcheng and Mo Juren were left where they were.
"What are your plans?" Mo Juren did not set off immediately, but instead stared at the former and asked.
"The passage to the secret realm has just been opened, and it will take some time to completely stabilize it. In addition, this underground world has a good environment and is secretive enough. I plan to tidy it up and make it the second habitat of my clan in the future. Land... In short, there are many things that need to be done, and I can’t get away for the time being.”
"How should I find you after I leave?" Mo Juren did not show any displeasure and asked the key question again.
When I first entered, I used those three keys, and everything was guided in passively.
It doesn't work now. Firstly, the three keys were lost when everyone entered, and there is no other entrance. Secondly, this underground world is so vast that it is obviously impossible to still be under that island. Where is it? Everyone knows that, plus all the teleportation arrays passing through are one-way, it is almost impossible to return again after leaving.
The latter seemed to have expected it. He turned it over with his delicate hand, and a half-foot-long ancient wooden box emerged. The appearance of the box is extremely exquisite, and there are even spiritual patterns carved on it. It's not simple at first glance, and I don't know what kind of treasure is inside?
As the lid of the box slowly opened, what came into view were two strange mirrors, the size of a palm, with a slightly worn and rough appearance, and nothing could be seen clearly on the mirror surface. However, from the pure spiritual energy it exudes, it can be concluded that it is definitely a rare good thing.
"This is the sun and moon mirror, a very special magical weapon from ancient times..." Xu Qingcheng explained simply. This so-called sun and moon mirror is not a great treasure. It can neither attack nor defend. Specially used for communication.
According to what the other party said, this object was originally a unique magical weapon refined by the Sun and Moon Sect in ancient times. It was only used by the disciples of the sect. It was extremely effective in communication. The two parties holding the mirror could transmit information even if they were tens of thousands of miles apart.
Mo Juren suddenly looked surprised when he heard that it could be transmitted over such a long distance. Isn't this the high-end version of the Wanli Talisman? It's not disposable and can be used repeatedly.
The ancient monks' research on the art of refining weapons was indeed unfathomable. It was really not easy for just a magic weapon to achieve such an effect. With this thing, even if he is in Tiannan, he can still contact the other party.
Xu Qingcheng was about to take out one of the precious mirrors engraved with the word "日", but saw the other party reach out and take the photo directly.
She couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and when she realized it, she was dumbfounded. It seemed that some actions in the secret realm had left a very bad impact on the other party, and now they were directly 'pre-empting' them.
Ignoring the matter, he put away the box and continued to explain: "The use of this magical weapon requires special formulas. Please listen carefully..."
Soon after, Mo Juren, who also handed over some key information, did not waste any more time and took Wang Ying and the three girls into the teleportation array. With a flash of white light, all four figures disappeared.
"Outer sea, inner sea, Tianxing City, Miaoyinmen..." Fumbling for the jade map slip in his hand, Xu Qingcheng's expression moved slightly and he murmured,
"The vastness of the world is really fascinating!"
…
On the unknown island, four figures stood side by side, looking at the large area of white sand and gravel under their feet and the endless vast sea around the island, all in a trance.
These were naturally Mo Juren and Wang Ying, but what puzzled them was that they did not see the monks from Kamikaze Island and Corpse Jade Sect after they came out. The island here is also very unfamiliar. It is obviously not the one when we first entered the ruins.
"The ancient teleportation array should be random." Mo Juren's heart moved and he thought of the reason. Wang Ying and the three girls also reacted at the same time, and this was the only reason.
"But, what kind of place could this be? I just observed it briefly, and I don't have any impression." The person who spoke was Fan Jingmei. With a master like Mo Juren beside her, she didn't feel much fear, but was a little curious. .
"I also checked it carefully several times, and it is indeed very strange. At least there is no match in the charts I have seen." Wang Ying also nodded.
The three girls all grew up in Luan Xinghai, and they are much more familiar with this place than Mo Juren. The other party doesn't know it clearly, so it seems that this is an extremely remote sea area.
Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, and then a flash of light flashed in his hand, and a jade slip appeared. This was the complete map of the inner sea that Ling Yuling had given him. There was also a map of the outer sea, both of which were high-end versions that had not been revealed to the public in Star Palace.
This thing is obviously not within the reach of the three women. The other party cannot find its location here, maybe it is in the jade slip.
However, after waiting for a while, I checked and compared all the information in the jade slips, but found nothing.
"Brother Mo..." Seeing the strange look in his eyes, Wang Ying was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by the other party raising her hand, and then fell into thinking.
There was no matching place in the map recorded by Star Palace, which was really beyond his expectation. However, when thinking about the actual situation of the inland sea, the real area is actually extremely vast. Even though it is already a human world, there are still a large number of remote sea areas. It was a similar situation when we first entered the location of the ruins.
"This may not be an inland sea." But at this moment, Zhuo Ruting, who had been silent, seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly reminded her.
"Outside the sea!" Wang Ying was startled for a moment, turned her head subconsciously, and saw the other party suddenly raised her hand, and a ray of silver light rose directly from the sea and flew into her hand. If you look carefully, you will see that it is a special sea fish the size of a palm, with a strange silver light shining all over its body. Its eyes are like stars, and there is a circle of sky blue eyeliner growing around it. It looks extremely beautiful.
"This is the Silver Charm Fish. I remember it is a specialty of Duanhun Island in the outer sea, and it lives near the Duanhun Sea Abyss in the north of Duanhun Island."
