Three days later, as a stream of light fell on Purple Thunder Peak, Bu Xiaotian's figure appeared in front of Zhenlei Palace.
Just as Bu Xiaotian stood still, several figures flew over from all over Purple Thunder Peak.
It was the people from Purple Thunder Peak whom they had not seen for a long time, Wu Yang, Zi Yue and Yun Ying were also among them.
When several people saw Bu Xiaotian, smiles appeared on their faces. Just as they were about to speak, Xiao Tianxiong's voice came from the hall:
"come in."
So everyone suppressed their thoughts of talking and entered the hall together.
Zhenlei Hall has not changed much from the first time Bu Xiaotian came here, it is empty and solemn.
Xiao Tianxiong sat at the top, still holding his wine gourd that he never left behind.
Seeing everyone coming in, he said without talking nonsense:
"Except for Lao Liu, everyone else should know it. Boss, please tell Lao Liu."
Xiang Yunwen stood up after hearing this, looked at Bu Xiaotian and said:
"A few days ago, news came from the northern grassland that someone saw the legendary sacred tree that can run. According to records, this sacred tree has an elusive trace and is good at using the power of the earth's veins. Whenever someone approaches, it will burrow into the soil. Next time It appeared without knowing where it would be, and all tracking methods failed to find any traces. It was the same this time. The sacred tree was discovered, and soon it burrowed into the soil in full view of the public, leaving no trace. According to various legends, we According to the records, this tree is most likely related to the mulch we are looking for.”
Having said this, Xiang Yunwen paused, and seeing everyone looking thoughtful, he continued:
"According to some records and legends, no one can find this sacred tree unless it shows up on its own. Although the chance of us finding it this time is slim, we have no more clues. We must try even if there is only a slight chance. Give it a try.”
After Xiang Yunwen finished speaking, Xiao Tianxiong, who was sitting in the main seat, said:
"I have asked some friends to go to the grassland. If you go there, you can contact them. The more people there are, the more hope there is."
After Xiao Tianxiong finished speaking, several jade talismans fell into everyone's hands with a wave of his hand. This is a kind of sensing jade talisman that can sense the position of other people holding the same jade talisman within a certain range.
Xiang Yunwen took the jade talisman and felt it for a moment and knew its function. Without much hesitation, he nodded and said:
"Yes, Master, we will set off to the grassland now."
The others had no objection and nodded.
Xiao Tianxiong looked at everyone and said:
"Well, the grassland is the territory of the barbarians. Although the barbarians are declining, they still have some masters. Don't provoke the barbarians unless necessary."
Everyone clasped their fists in salute and replied:
"Disciple understands!"
Xiao Tianxiong nodded, waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead."
After the words fell, Xiao Tianxiong's figure had disappeared into the hall.
Bu Xiaotian looked up and saw that Xiao Tianxiong had left. He was a little surprised. He had now reached the sixth level of "Dao Xuan Jing" and entered the realm of "Shenxu". He was considered an absolute master even if he looked at the world, but I still didn't feel the slightest reaction to Master's departure, and I couldn't help but admire Master's cultivation even more.
Just when Bu Xiaotian was a little distracted, Xiang Yunwen's voice sounded:
"Without further ado, everyone go back and tidy up. We'll set off in two-quarters of an hour."
After speaking, he looked at Bu Xiaotian and said:
"Xiaotian, although you just came back, the second junior brother's health is concerned, so you have to work harder."
Hearing Xiang Yunwen's words, Bu Xiaotian felt a little warm in his heart, shook his head and said:
"It's out of the way."
So everyone left Zhenlei Hall one after another and went back to their respective courtyards to pack their luggage.
Only Yun Ying was left beside Bu Xiaotian, chattering about some of the things that had happened in Zilei Peak and Yuxu Sect these days.
It was also from Yun Ying's words that Bu Xiaocai learned about the current situation of Yuxu Sect.
These days, the atmosphere in the sect is a bit tense. Except for necessary matters, few of the disciples go down the mountain. Almost all of them are stepping up their cultivation.
The reason for this seems to be that something happened in the devil's way.
But these days, the Demon Sect's information blockade is very strict, and the Zhengdao side can't get any specific information at all, and they don't know what happened.
However, this matter currently does not seem to have an impact on the secular world and the righteous path. It only has a huge impact on the demonic path. The righteous path has no way to deal with it. It can only urge the disciples to step up their practice so that they can have stronger resilience when the demonic path breaks out. .
Just as Bu Xiaotian returned to his courtyard, he saw Zi Yue and Wu Yang waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
Just now, the two of them had no chance to talk to their master, Bu Xiaotian, in front of everyone, but now they seemed to have something to tell him.
Seeing Bu Xiaotian approaching, the two of them greeted her. Compared to Zi Yue's brisk steps, Wu Yang looked a little hesitant and reluctant.
Zi Yue, who has a more out-of-the-box personality, spoke first and said with a bit of showoff:
"Master, Master, I have reached the seventh level of the Yin-Yang Nine Transformations Sutra, and the Dao Xuan Sutra has reached the fourth level. I am faster than my junior brother!"
When Wu Yang saw Bu Xiaotian looking at him after hearing Zi Yue's words, his face suddenly turned red, he lowered his head and argued in a low voice:
"It's just half a day faster than me."
When Zi Yue heard this, not only was she not annoyed, but she proudly put her hands on her hips, raised her head and said:
"That's faster than you! Why don't you call Senior Sister to come and listen!"
Wu Yang showed an unconvinced look on his face, but recalling the agreement between the two of them, he reluctantly shouted:
"Senior sister!"
When Zi Yue heard Wu Yang's words, she immediately raised her head high like a winning attack, and the proud look on her face became more obvious, and she responded:
"Hey! Good junior brother!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Bu Xiaotian felt inexplicably better.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the talents of the two. Even at his age, with the help of the "Tian Jing", his cultivation progress was not so fast.
Surprised, Bu Xiaotian still put on a straight face and lightly tapped Zi Yue's forehead, pretending to reprimand:
"The path of cultivation is extremely long. You are so proud of just some small achievements. When your cultivation reaches a higher level, will you not even take me as a master in your eyes?"
Ziyue, who was full of pride, felt guilty after being taught such a lesson by Bu Xiaotian, and she quickly lowered her head to please:
"No, Master! You are my most respected master at all times!"
Bu Xiaotian glanced at Wu Yang again, and saw that he was not happy because Zi Yue was reprimanded, but looked reflective. He couldn't help but think of himself back then, who had a similar temperament to Wu Yang, and said slowly :
"You must remember that there is no end point in the journey of spiritual practice. Temporary progress does not represent the final achievement. Only by guarding against arrogance and impetuosity and calming down can we go further."
Wu Yang heard a hint of comfort in Bu Xiaotian's words, and couldn't help feeling grateful in his heart. He lowered his head and saluted:
"Yes, Master, disciple, remember it!"
Zi Yue also said humbly:
"After knowing Master, the disciple will definitely work harder!"
Bu Xiaotian saw the two disciples acting well-behaved, nodded and said:
"Okay, you two should go and tidy up. Your cultivation level is considered to be relatively small, and you can't just practice hard without going through training. Come with us this time, and gain experience, so as not to be succumbed to evil spirits in the future. I'm deceived. Meet in front of Zhenlei Palace in a quarter of an hour, and we'll set off together!"
"Great!"
Ziyue couldn't help but be a little excited when she heard Bu Xiaotian's words, but immediately remembered what Bu Xiaotian had just said, and quickly calmed down her emotions.
Although Wu Yang was not as happy as Zi Yue when he heard this, his eyes still showed some uncontrollable excitement.
The two of them said goodbye to Bu Xiaotian in a hurry and went back to pack their things.
Not long after, everyone gathered in front of Zhenlei Hall again. Without saying anything, they headed north together with their swords.
Wu Yang and Zi Yue had the lowest cultivation level and it was a bit difficult to travel. Xiang Yunwen originally planned to slow down a bit to take care of them, but Bu Xiaotian stopped them.
He could see that the two of them were competing for the position of senior brother and sister during this period, and their cultivation was a little impatient and their foundation was a little weak. They usually didn't have much opportunity to consolidate their foundation. This time they were on the road just in time to use their magic power and consolidate their somewhat frivolous cultivation. .
Moreover, there are so many of them here, leaving some remaining strength can just allow the two of them to try their best to catch up, without fear that they will be unable to resist due to danger due to overdraft of mana.
The two of them are also very tough-minded. Even if they are exhausted every day, they never complain. Instead, they can catch up with the speed of others every day. Their fatigue is becoming more and more concentrated day by day, and their cultivation has also made great progress.
There were no twists and turns along the way. Half a month later, the group reached the border of the grassland.
It was already past early spring, but the vast grasslands were still dotted with large patches of snow. Even in some areas without snow, only withered and yellow grass was exposed, making it look a bit desolate and lonely.
Seeing the endless grassland, several people in the team who had never been to the grassland had some novelty and wonder on their faces.
Zhong Ren stayed at the edge of the grassland for a while, and then Xiang Yunwen said:
"Xiaotian, you are the only one among us who has stayed in the grassland a few years ago. Your three senior brothers and others only passed by here in a hurry when they went to the ice field before. The jade charm given by the master did not respond, which means that his friends are not nearby. Do you have any ideas?"
Bu Xiaotian thought for a while and said:
"I got acquainted with a small tribe of the Yuling Clan among the barbarians on the grassland before. Maybe we can go there to investigate."
Xiang Yunwen heard what Bu Xiaotian said and had no objection. Seeing that others had no objection, he decided:
"Okay, there is no other way. Let's go to the small tribe you mentioned. You can lead the way!"
Bu Xiaotian nodded, identified the direction, and then flew in one direction with his sword.
Others immediately followed.
A few days later, a group of people arrived at the place where the Yuling tribe was.
But this place is completely different from when Bu Xiaotian first came. It was covered with thick snow and there was no trace of human activity.
Everyone frowned, they noticed a strong death aura here.
Bu Xiaotian's heart sank slightly, he raised his hand to seal the secret, and suddenly a strong wind blew up, blowing away the thick snow and weeds.
After a while, Bu Xiaotian dispersed the spell and saw that the snow on the ground had disappeared, but what he saw was a dense mass of white bones, including some petite bones, which turned out to be the bones of children!
Looking at these corpses, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
He saw that there were many stone bowls and pots among the dilapidated tents, as well as some stone blades, which were the same things he and Letian made for the Yuling tribe.
Judging from the vague remaining traces of the tribal camp, there was a big battle here, and it is likely that no one in the entire tribe was spared.
