…
The jade slip was specially banned by Master Yunshan. The ban on the jade slip will naturally dissipate twenty years later. If he has not returned by then, Shen Huanming's ancestors will be asked to act according to the message on the jade slip.
It's just that something unexpected happened, and within ten years, the enemies of Master Yunshan came to visit.
At that time, the ancestor of the Shen family, who was only in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, was no match for his master's enemy. He was seriously injured in just a few rounds.
Fortunately, he still had several life-saving spiritual objects left to him by Master Yunshan. After much difficulty, he managed to escape with much energy.
After hiding in hiding for several years, the twenty-year period finally reached, and the restrictions on the jade slips naturally dissipated. When the ancestors of the Shen family noticed this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately their consciousness sank into it and began to investigate.
After reading the message on the jade slip, the ancestor of the Shen family was convinced that the master most likely failed to overcome the tribulation...
Finally, through the message on the jade slip, the ancestors of the Shen family learned that the place where the Master had transcended the tribulation was in the extremely distant Forbidden Spirit Sea.
Without hesitation, the ancestors of the Shen family rushed here immediately, just in time to avoid the enemy's pursuit, preparing to get the master's legacy and succeed in cultivation before returning to Nebula Island to avenge the master!
After several years of trekking through mountains and rivers, the ancestors of the Shen family finally arrived here, but if things had continued so smoothly, what happened next would not have happened.
…
The final result was that the ancestors of the Shen family were once again severely damaged and seriously injured. After finally establishing the Shen family here, they passed away sadly.
After his death, the Shen family never appeared in the Jindan realm again. Naturally, they faced problems that their ancestors could not solve, and future generations could not solve them even more.
This matter has been passed down from generation to generation in his family to this day. As for whether Shen did not find the location of the cave during the process, and other issues, Shen Huanming dismissed it vaguely as having nothing to do with the agreement.
He only said that the words about the Infant Transformation Pill and other items were spoken by his ancestors, and there must be no lies. He also made an oath to heaven and there were no accidents.
It was this Heavenly Dao Oath that convinced Wang Lixing and others of what Shen Huanming said. After all, if what the monk said was false, he would never pass the Heavenly Dao Oath.
…
"how?"
"Fellow Taoists, you should believe what I said is true at this time." Shen Huanming looked at the few people calmly and said in a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, the three people on the side exchanged glances with each other. None of the three people expected that the ancestors of the Shen family would have such an opportunity!
Not only that, Master Yunshan is actually from Nebula Island!
Everyone only has a partial understanding of Nebula Island in the classics. It is said that it is the central continent of the entire sea area and is extremely full of spiritual energy.
The vast expanse of land contains countless mouth-watering chance treasures!
It's a pity that among the people present, not only those who went to Xingyun Island, but also those who have been to Qianzhou Sea, only Wang Lixing, who traveled for more than ten years in his early years.
Several people were silent for a while, then Wang Lixing gently nodded and said:
"Since Fellow Daoist Shen has told the truth, the three of us have no doubts about the truth. There is just one thing that we still need to clarify, Fellow Daoist Shen."
"oh?"
"Fellow Daoist Wang, it doesn't matter," Shen Huanming nodded calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I would like to know why you are so sure that without you being present, no one will be able to obtain the greatest opportunity in the cave?"
It turns out that this is about it. Are you trying to get to know me? But it doesn’t matter if I tell you about it.
After hearing this, Shen Huanming thought for a moment, and then he started to care. He glanced at everyone, then nodded and said:
"Originally, this matter is a secret of my family, so it is inconvenient to tell you. However, since I have promised to cooperate sincerely before, I will naturally not hide anything from you."
"Nothing else. According to what our ancestors said, the most precious legacy of the ancestors of Yunshan is in a hidden cave. The formation in this cave belongs to the inheritance array. Only specific secret keys and methods can be used to create it. Only then can this formation be opened.”
"Other than that, you can only open this cave with the strength of the Nascent Soul old monster and break it with force. Of course, if you break the formation with brute force, then all the treasures and spiritual materials in it will be destroyed together."
After saying that, Shen Huanming looked at the few people calmly. His meaning was very clear. Without him, no one would be able to obtain the treasure opportunity.
"That's it," Wang Lixing nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Shen Huanming was so sure.
After a while, looking at the few people who were still thinking, Shen Huanming couldn't sit still and said in an urging tone:
"Fellow Taoists, do you still have any concerns?"
"I need to remind you that in addition to the things I have mentioned, there are quite a lot of other chance treasures in the cave. Not to mention other things, there are only high-grade spiritual stones. I dare to conclude that the number is absolutely unimaginable. .”
"You must know that the ancestor of Yunshan is here to seek a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, and the spiritual energy required to break through the Nascent Soul Realm cannot be provided by the Forbidden Spirit Sea!"
Hearing this, Huang Zhongliang's narrow eyes couldn't help flashing with a hint of greed. A high-grade spiritual stone was comparable to ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones, and the real exchange price was often more than this.
Even if you don't get the final treasure, even if you get some high-grade spiritual stones, the trip will definitely be worthwhile. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and quickly agreed:
"Fellow Daoist Shen is right. There is nothing wrong with the two fellow Daoists. Let's set off quickly!"
Han Daoran also had the same expression, with a fiery look under his thick eyebrows.
"I don't have any problem, I can leave at any time."
After Han Daoran finished speaking, the eyes of the audience immediately focused on Wang Lixing. At this time, he was the only one who had not expressed his position.
Feeling the burning gazes of the three people beside him, Wang Lixing couldn't help but feel a little like a ray of light on his back. It wasn't that he didn't want to go as soon as possible, but that something felt wrong somewhere!
But he couldn’t tell the specifics!
Looking at Wang Lixing who was still hesitating, Huang Zhongliang couldn't help but shouted impatiently.
"Fellow Daoist Wang!"
"The four of us join forces and can compete even if we encounter a master at the Golden Core stage. Why are you still hesitating, fellow Taoist!"
Hearing the urging words again, Wang Lixing couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this time. Yes, if the four of them join forces, it is not impossible for the Golden Pill cultivator to compete! Furthermore, there are only a handful of Golden Core Stage monks in the nearby sea area.
Maybe I think too much.
Thinking of this, Wang Lixing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Sorry, I was a little distracted for a moment. Since all fellow Taoists are fine, of course there is no problem for me either!"
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that Wang Lixing would have other ideas if he continued to hesitate like this. After all, Wang Lixing was the strongest person among them. If he was not there, they would still be able to do it. I really can't guarantee that I can compete with other monks.
"That's good, let's set off quickly!" Huang Zhongliang replied impatiently.
The four of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Walk!"
At this moment, several people no longer covered their figures, and used all their strength to push the Izumo boat forward.
…
Along the way, Shen Huanming also put down his cover after the incident just now and told several people clearly how to move forward.
In this regard, Wang Lixing and the other three seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not ask each other. The three of them did not ask, and Shen Huanming would not say anything more.
For an Izumo boat that has reached the second-level high-grade spiritual weapon, flying at full speed, the distance of three hundred miles is not much slower than that of a late-stage foundation-building monk.
However, less than half an hour later, after having traveled more than 280 miles, a large island that could not be reached appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
At this point, the sky gradually darkened, and the group found a nearby island and stopped.
"Fellow Taoists, ahead is the island where the ancestor of Yunshan went into retreat and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Because the ancestor broke through in retreat, my family named this island Yunshan Island." Shen Huanming looked in front of him. There were some vague islands, and he introduced them to everyone in a somewhat excited tone.
"This island is also the largest island in the nearby sea area of more than thousands of miles, with a radius of nearly 500 miles!"
"By the way, everyone needs to pay attention to this. This island is also an active volcanic island. Although this is nothing to us, there is nothing wrong with being careful."
In response to Shen Huanming's words, several people nodded to express their understanding.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, this island is so large. Where exactly is the cave of Yunshan Patriarch?"
Han Daoran asked with a slight frown. If they didn't figure out the specific location of the cave, they would just keep looking for it, and they didn't know when they would find it.
"Hahaha, fellow Taoist Han, don't be anxious. Of course I know the exact location of the Ancestor Cave, but this matter is not urgent. I will naturally bring all the fellow Taoists there when the time comes."
"Let's go." Wang Lixing nodded slightly.
No one used the Izumo boat for the rest of the journey. After all, although the Izumo boat was good, it was undeniable that if there was an emergency, riding the Izumo boat would become a constraint.
…
Only twenty miles away, several people arrived at Yunshan Island in the blink of an eye.
But as soon as they set foot on Yunshan Island, the faces of Wang Lixing and others couldn't help but become a little ugly.
Without it, not only would there be a pungent and unspeakable smell filling the surroundings, but everyone's bodies would suddenly sink as if they were carrying a giant object, making several people feel a little tight in their chests.
There's something wrong with this island, there's something weird!
As someone who has been practicing in the sea since childhood, I have been to numerous islands of all sizes, but I have never encountered this!
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what's going on! Why do I feel that the movement of mana in my body is blocked!"
While Wang Lixing was thinking secretly, Huang Zhongliang on the side suddenly shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Wang Lixing couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and immediately activated his magic power.
Sure enough!
In the past, the meridians from the dantian to the whole body had unobstructed flow of magic power, but for some reason, it actually became somewhat blocked at this time!
Not daring to neglect, he quickly mobilized the magic power in his Dantian with all his strength and continuously circulated it to the Zhoutian meridians.
After a while, Wang Lixing's frown relaxed slightly.
Fortunately, after several rounds of circulation, the astringent feeling of mana in the body has dissipated a lot. Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, it basically has no impact on the fighting technique.
After solving his own problem, Wang Lixing immediately looked at the others. Sure enough, the ugly faces of Han Daoran and Huang Zhongliang slowly relaxed.
Only Shen Huanming, Wang Lixing had been observing him secretly, and found that Shen Huanming seemed not to be affected at all, his expression did not change at all from beginning to end, and he was extremely calm.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, how do you feel at this time?"
In response to Huang Zhongliang's question, Shen Huanming did not explain immediately, but waited for everyone to adapt before speaking casually.
Hearing this, Huang Zhongliang was speechless. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just hummed.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, although this matter will have little impact on us, you never mentioned that this would happen at all. Why is that?"
Wang Lixing glanced at Shen Huanming and said with a meaningful expression.
Shen Huanming smiled casually at Wang Lixing's somewhat playful words.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, this is wrong. It's not that I deliberately concealed this matter. It's that this matter is innocuous to me, so I didn't say anything."
"Don't worry, if there is something that really affects you, I won't hide it."
"oh?"
"Then according to what Fellow Taoist Shen said, it seems that the active volcano on this island is not as plainly described as you said." Wang Lixing asked rhetorically after hearing this.
"yes!"
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you mentioned this specifically just now!" Huang Zhongliang immediately echoed after hearing Wang Lixing's words.
"Two Taoist friends, what do you mean? I kindly remind you, but it seems to be my fault instead," Shen Huanming did not answer directly, but said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"Furthermore, I don't know what all of you fellow Taoists are worried about, especially Fellow Daoist Wang. Instead of worrying about me, it's better to think about how to deal with other people next."
"Oh, is it so……"
"Okay, fellow Taoists, it's useless to talk. It's getting late, so we'd better set off quickly." Wang Lixing wanted to say something more, but Han Daoran on the side interrupted directly with an expressionless face.
After hearing this, Wang Lixing took a deep look at Shen Huanming and said nothing more.
…
As several people continued to go deeper into Yunshan Island, the surrounding environment gradually became weird.
There were charred trees and huge pits all over the place, without any sign of life.
Everyone couldn't help but feel slightly shocked. It seemed that the cause of this situation was the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!
Looking at the withered scene here, Wang Lixing could not imagine what the scene was like more than a thousand years ago.
…
After a stick of incense.
Shen Huanming, who was leading the way in front of everyone, suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and looked at the somewhat blurry valley and said:
"After passing through this valley and walking a few miles, we will reach the place where the ancestor's cave is located."
Everyone looked around and saw that the valley seemed to be surrounded by something. It was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly.
Seeing this, Wang Lixing immediately used his spiritual consciousness to explore!
After a while, Wang Lixing withdrew his spiritual consciousness with a somewhat ugly expression. Without it, his spiritual consciousness seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and he could not sense the situation at all.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, is this valley set up by Patriarch Yunshan?" Han Daoran searched intently for a moment, but found nothing, so he had to ask aloud.
When Shen Huanming heard this, he nodded with a heavy face, but then shook his head.
…
