Chapter 2213: Looking for Sundial
Chapter 2213: Looking for Sundial
Endless wind and sand rushed over.
Qin Sang and Liuli flew straight forward. Suddenly, Qin Sang stopped, concentrated for a moment, and said, "I sense a strange fluctuation, there..."
He raised his hand and pointed, and immediately he and Liuli changed direction and flew towards the place where the wave came from.
After a few breaths, the two landed on the top of a mountain and overlooked the foot of the mountain.
There is a big pit at the foot of the mountain. It seemed to be a lake originally, but now it is completely dry.
The bottom of the lake is made of hard rock. There must be some kind of spiritual mineral underground. The storm can only erode the surface of the rock, leaving behind knife-like marks that reveal a blue glow.
There is a square stone cave in the center of the lake bottom, like a deep well, with a glowing light inside. The well mouth is too regular to be naturally formed, and white gas is constantly gushing out from the well mouth.
The white mist was heavy, and after it was ejected, it gathered around the wellhead, and a "beeping" sound was heard from inside.
The two soon saw the clues. The white gas was not real, but the power of the formation. There was obviously an ancient formation in the well, and there might even be a secret realm, but this ancient formation was heading towards destruction, and it must have collapsed inside.
Qin Sang's figure flashed and appeared at the mouth of the well, then he jumped into the well without hesitation. Liuli was waiting for him outside.
Not long after, Qin Sang came back and shook his head slightly at Liuli. It was a mess inside and he couldn't find anything valuable.
Through some remaining clues, the two compared them with the classics they had read before and found that there was no record of this place.
This is normal. This can be said to be a large secret realm, but there are countless small secret realms in the secret realm. The area is vast and extremely complex. No vein can monopolize it. In addition to the common goal of the Spring and Autumn Sundial, each vein also has its own goal. Most people choose one or several places to explore in depth, and then move to another place after the exploration is clear.
They have not yet been able to explore all the secret realms, and Ziyunshan's understanding of this place is limited to the places they have explored.
However, at first everyone could still not interfere with each other. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer unexplored secret realms, and the competition became more and more intense. The conflicts between the various sects also increased day by day. Ziyun Mountain practiced Buddhism, which was incompatible with Taoism, and therefore was the first to be excluded.
Since they were not sure where this place was, Qin Sang and Liuli could only continue to act according to the original plan. But it was not without gain. At least it proved that there were still surviving secret realms here, and their goal was one of the most mysterious places in the entire secret realm. They would definitely be able to hold on to the end!
They did not stay for too long and continued to fly forward for a whole day. According to their estimated distance, the target was not far ahead.
Along the way, they encountered two more waves of beasts, of different races, but none of them had anything like the Sky Serpent General. Although they were curious, they knew what was important and what was not, and did not go out of their way to look for it elsewhere.
Qin Sang had also sensed the presence of other cultivators from afar on the way, but because they deliberately avoided them, the other party did not catch up with them, and both sides were at peace.
After flying over several mountain ranges, Qin Sang looked ahead and thought to himself that we have finally arrived!
They tried to make the estimated range as large as possible. As long as the direction they were heading was correct, their target would definitely be in this area. Ahead was an endless wasteland, desolate and severely damaged by the storm, with no landmarks to be found.
Seeing this scene, they had a bad feeling and searched carefully, and the result was as expected.
'Shuh! '
Qin Sang chose a hill in the center, flew down, sat cross-legged, and then flicked his fingers. Several streams of light flew out and turned into formation flags, which were inserted around.
The mist rose, covering Qinsang and the hills.
After arranging the spiritual formation, Qin Sang activated the Qianjun Ring. As the spiritual light flashed, a mountain appeared above his head. It was the Daiyu Immortal Mountain!
According to Master Ning, within a radius of a thousand miles around the immortal mountain essence, as long as Qin Sang summons the Daiyu Immortal Mountain and activates it with a secret technique, even if the immortal mountain essence is blocked by the formation, the Daiyu Immortal Mountain will react, and he can use it to determine the exact location of the immortal mountain essence, because there is a mysterious connection between the five immortal mountains, and the immortal mountain essence has an unparalleled attraction to all the immortal mountains.
Qin Sang closed his eyes tightly and made a series of hand seals. The surface of Mount Daiyu flashed with green light, but there was no response from beginning to end.
With a light sigh, Qin Sang opened his eyes, put away the fairy mountain and formation flags, and flew back the same way.
"We may be looking in the wrong direction..."
Qin Sang said.
He looked at Liuli with an inquiring look. Ever since he saw the astronomical phenomena caused by the Spring and Autumn Sundial, Liuli had been in a pensive look.
According to the time of the universe, it has barely been two days since they entered the storm, but the alternation of day and night here has already occurred ten times.
The position of the Spring and Autumn Sundial can be calculated through the astronomical phenomena caused by each alternation of day and night, and Liuli has been concentrating on calculating it.
If they find the Spring and Autumn Sundial, they can use other methods to determine the direction, and thus lock the direction of their target, which is another preparation. Now that ten alternations have passed, Liuli should be able to get the result soon.
"Follow me, fellow Taoist..."
At this moment, Liuli's expression changed slightly, and suddenly his figure rose into the air and flew away.
Qin Sang followed immediately and saw that Liuli was concentrating on calculations with her brows furrowed. He did not disturb her and took out the secret talisman left by the ancestor of the Jiegou tribe to play with it.
The last time I entered the Heart Lake, the secret talisman showed a brief abnormality, but then returned to normal.
Qin Sang now knew that the secret talisman was actually deceived by Hong Tian and others. The tokens left by the ancestors of various tribes in the holy land had similar functions to the talismans on Tang Kun and others, and they would guide them here.
These tokens have been with them all the time, and they have no idea when Hongtian and others took action.
This time, before entering the Heart Lake, Hongtian unlocked the seal, and the token guided them all the way here.
However, after entering the storm, perhaps because the time was not right, the secret symbol fell silent again.
When the guidance appears again, the most intense battle will come!
Of course, before the opportunity comes, everyone will not sit idle. If they can find it in advance and seize the opportunity, they will undoubtedly have an advantage. Hongtian and the Jiaojiao tribe leaders have passed down some methods of searching. The Yuanxiang tribe leader and Jixia are now trying it, and others must be doing the same.
Qin Sang noticed something that was quite interesting.
Hongtian is afraid of the ancestors behind Tang Kun and others, but the clan leader Yuanxiang and others are also guided by the ancestors of the clan. Hongtian is afraid of the former, but does not reject the latter, and even wants to win them over. What is the reason?
So, what is the difference between the two?
Qin Sang thought about the information he got from Tang Kun. Among the people Tang Kun was familiar with, including himself, the ancestors behind them had all ascended to the holy realm and entered the holy land in the past tens of thousands of years.
Long, long ago, each tribe had a legend about the "token", which showed that when the holy land was first opened up, the ancestors left the token behind.
This means that there is not only a struggle between the new and the old among the powerful beings in the Holy Realm, but there may also be different camps among the old powerful beings.
Who are the opponents and who are the allies among the parties?
Being dragged into the fight between the Saint Realm masters, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Can he finally escape unscathed?
The more Qin Sang thought about it, the more complicated it seemed. He couldn't jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player. After all, he couldn't see the whole picture and could only rely on guesswork.
While thinking, Qin Sang noticed the change in Liuli's aura. He turned his head and saw Liuli's eyes shining and he looked up suddenly.
At this moment, the darkness around us slowly faded away, and a white light appeared on the horizon ahead.
There was no sun, only pure white light, which appeared grayish white due to the storm. The light came from nowhere and dispelled the darkness.
"found it!"
Liuli headed towards the source of the white light and his escape speed increased greatly.
They chased the white light and kept speeding.
Not sure if it was because the sundial was constantly moving or if there was an error in Liuli's calculation, they changed direction several times, but the change was not large.
Finally, the results became clearer and clearer, and they successfully locked the position of the Spring and Autumn Sundial!
When approaching the Spring and Autumn Sundial, Liuli stopped and stared at the sky.
It was another time of transition between day and night, when the curtain of darkness slowly rose, gradually covering the light and coming above them. When they were at the boundary between night and day, Liuli withdrew his sight and stared ahead.
At the same time, Qin Sang also had a strange feeling that was hard to describe.
"go!"
The two of them rushed in the direction Liuli was looking at, and soon they saw white clouds emerging from the storm.
White clouds condensed in the sky, and even such a fierce storm could not blow them away. In the center of the white clouds, more clouds were being born, pouring out from them continuously, like a blooming white lotus.
They didn't see the Spring and Autumn Sundial, but they were sure that this white cloud had something to do with it!
Suddenly, Qin Sang paused, stopped Liuli, and looked into the distance with a serious expression. A moment later, three beams of light flew over from afar, and a familiar aura came from them. It was Zhan Yan and the others.
"Zhan Yan, Xu Mu, Jing Zhen..."
Qin Sang glanced around and found that Zhang Yan, who had the worst temper, was not there. Only Zhan Yan and the other two were there.
"When did they get together?"
Qin Sang remembered that Zhan Yan and others were lured over by different forces. Zhan Yan joined the mermaid tribe, while Jing Zhen and Xu Mu stayed with other tribes.
On second thought, maybe he and Liuli were too late.
Zhan Yan and the others must have been able to see that this astronomical phenomenon originated from the power of the Spring and Autumn Sundial. If they were not like himself and had more important things to do, they would have come to look for the Spring and Autumn Sundial as soon as possible. I guess that was how the three of them met.
The three of them came together from somewhere else. It seems that the Spring and Autumn Sundial can move and does not stay in one place all the time.
At this time, Zhan Yan and the other two had also discovered Qin Sang and Liuli. They saw the three of them turn their escape lights and fly straight towards them.
Qin Sang and Liuli retracted their escape lights and looked at Zhan Yan and the other two standing between them and Bai Yun.
"Master Qin! Fairy Liuli!"
Zhan Yan bowed his head and said straight to the point, "Considering our last cooperation, we don't want to turn against you two fellow Taoists. Please go back!"
Qin Sang's eyes swept across the faces of the three people, knowing that they had already formed an alliance, and he and Liuli were the first to be excluded.
"The Spring and Autumn Sundial is an acquired spiritual treasure. No one can take it away without the recognition of the spirit of the instrument. Fellow Daoist, you don't think that by occupying this place, you can make the Spring and Autumn Sundial recognize you as your master, right?" Qin Sang sneered.
"Master Qin, please look around..."
Zhan Yan looked around and said calmly, "The holy land has changed, and the secret realm has been destroyed! Even if the powerful aliens can repair the holy land in the future, this place may be difficult to recover. Is the Spring and Autumn Sundial willing to stay in the ruins?"
Qin Sang and Liuli looked at each other, this statement made sense.
Zhan Yan's intention was very clear. Even if he couldn't make the Spring and Autumn Sundial recognize its master, there might be other ways to take the Spring and Autumn Sundial out.
As long as they bring it back to the mountain gate, one day, they will find a way to subdue the weapon spirit. Qin Sang knows a secret technique. With the help of Wujian Xuesang's bloody divine light, these famous sects will definitely have no shortage of means.
"Oh?" Qin Sang's expression remained unchanged. "There is only one treasure. If you drive us away, how are you three going to divide it?"
Zhan Yan was indifferent to Qin Sang's provocation and said, "Don't worry, Master Qin. We already know each other well and have our own way of distribution. Even if the three veins share it in the end, it's fine."
"In that case, why not share among the four meridians!" Liuli said coldly.
Zhan Yan and the other two looked at her in silence, their attitudes being self-explanatory.
"come out!"
Suddenly, Zhan Yan shouted loudly, and his fingers formed into a sword, shooting towards the ground.
'Shuh! '
The ground cracked and the sword light forced a figure out from underground. The figure did not flee but flew up and revealed his true form.
When they saw who this person was, Zhan Yan and the other two's expressions changed immediately, and Qin Sang's eyes also flashed with surprise.
They originally thought that the person who came might be the missing Zhang Yan, and wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a cultivator from the alien race!
"Master Qin, we are destined to meet each other," the person who came was actually Yu Zhen, who bowed to Qin Sang and said with a smile.
"You are the ones who brought him here!"
Zhan Yan and the other two were furious.
Before this, they had worked together once, and it was agreed at that time that the Spring and Autumn Sundial was a Taoist treasure and must not be leaked. If it fell into the hands of the aliens, they would not be able to explain to their master when they returned.
Unexpectedly, Qin Sang and his men dared to collude with outsiders!
Qin Sang looked at Yu Zhen, his eyes flickering, and said, "Daoyou's concealment skills are amazing, you are not following us here, right?"
"I would also like to thank this fellow Taoist for leading the way for me," Yu Zhen pointed at Jing Zhen and said frankly.
Jingzhen's pretty face froze, and she glared at Yuzhen with fire in her eyes.
"What is your intention, fellow Daoist? Aren't you afraid of being surrounded and killed by us?" Qin Sang asked.
"I have heard before that although you are all descendants of Taoism, you are not on good terms with each other. I think that Master Qin may be in trouble, so I am worried and take the initiative to prevent them from doing harm to Master Qin," Yu Zhen was not panicked at all, as if he was thinking about Qin Sang.
Without even looking at Bai Yun, he said, "I have no ill intentions. If Master Qin thinks this is unnecessary, I will retreat. Oh, I almost forgot... I don't know if this Master Qin is useful or not. I just happen to know that this Master Qin is trapped in a place. If Master Qin wants to rescue him, I will tell him the location."
Yu Zhen transformed into a human figure, who was none other than Zhang Yan.
"It's not that we want to harm this Taoist. We originally just invited a fellow Taoist to follow this Taoist. Unexpectedly, this Taoist ran into trouble..." (End of this chapter)
