Chapter 546: Cultivation in the Underworld
The black cloud war boat carried Wu Yan and others safely back to Xuanyuan Island.
After settling everyone down and resting for two days, Wu Yan summoned Xuanyaozi, Tiansuanzi, and Liu Baoxin into his cave to discuss matters.
After the three people arrived, Wu Yan closed the cave's restrictions and said straight to the point: "Everyone, I have summoned you all here today to discuss one matter. I am going to retreat for meditation, but if the affairs of Xuanyuan Island are not settled, Okay, but I'm worried. If you three have any good suggestions, you might as well tell me."
The three of them were all familiar with each other. Especially during the two days of rest, Tiansuanzi had already talked secretly with Xuanyaozi several times. Therefore, after looking at each other, Tiansuanzi was the first to speak: "The leader can rest assured, Xuanyuan Island Let us leave the matter to us. I would like to make a suggestion for the leader to see if it is possible. Although the banner of Xuan Taoism cannot be raised for the time being, the leader can first establish a chief elder for the sect and be responsible for handling the situation on his behalf. The junior brother felt that the position of senior elder belonged to Brother Xuanyaozi, so he recommended himself to be the senior deacon of the sect, responsible for managing the site selection, construction and other chores of the sect. It's a bit embarrassing, but it doesn't hinder the work on the island. He will be responsible for supervising the construction of Xuanyuandaofang City. As for the affairs of the Hunting Beast Valley, I think it should be done by the great elder himself, assisted by the four team leaders. There will be no problem. However, a trusted disciple must be in charge of the matter. Naturally, it needs to be selected from the first disciples accepted by the leader. "
Tiansuanzi seemed to have a well-thought-out idea, and he talked in a clear and logical manner. After finishing speaking, Wu Yan and Liu Baoxin both nodded slightly and agreed. On the other hand, Xuan Yaozi smiled bitterly and said, "Zi Yan, why are you entertaining me like this? You are the most suitable person to hold the position of Great Elder."
Tiansuanzi said sternly: "Senior brother, what you said is wrong. In terms of age and prestige, I can't compare with my senior brother. How can I take on the position of the great elder? I can just be my senior elder's deputy and help him. This great elder is a The position must be filled by a senior brother. If there is no senior brother on the island, I may have to ask the leader to come forward. Therefore, there is nothing to shirk in this matter. For the future of my Xuan Tao Sect, the senior brother must do this. Elder's."
When he said this, Xuan Yaozi really couldn't say anything else to evade, and he agreed with a smile.
Now that there was a clear division of labor, Wu Yan listed all the various problems currently in front of him one by one with the three of them, and discussed and solved them together.
Since he wanted to focus on retreat, he had to explain everything clearly to the three of them, so as to avoid any problems that could not be solved and he had to interrupt the retreat and come out to deal with it.
Of course, there are many variables in this year's Sea Hunting War, but we cannot relax in gathering information from all sources. Once any changes occur in the Hunting Sea War, Wu Yan will naturally be informed as soon as possible by means of a messenger talisman.
Everyone discussed in Wu Yan's cave for several hours. After everything was arranged and explained, everyone began to get busy in an orderly manner.
Wu Yan wanted to retreat, so naturally he had to find a suitable retreat cave on the island first.
According to the general, the place with the strongest aura on the island is on the Bijia Mountain Ridge between Water Valley and Fire Valley. However, this place will be built as the core of the Xuan Tao Sect in the future, and there will inevitably be a lot of noise all day long, but now it is not suitable for retreat.
Secondly, when Wu Yan retreats in seclusion, he not only needs to practice the Immortal Technique of the Five Elements Sword Art, but also the Holy Demon Avatar Technique and the Blood Demon Heart Technique of the Anti-blood Scripture. Therefore, the cave he chooses to retreat in must not only have rich spiritual energy, but also Suitable for practicing magic skills.
After much picking and choosing, Wu Yan finally chose the retreat place on the other side of Bijia Mountain, which leads directly to the cave at the bottom of the two spiritual peaks.
These two caves are actually connected. The connection point is about a hundred miles deep from the ground. That place is quite mysterious. It is actually a place where yin and yang meet. Not only is it rich in aura, but also because of the special terrain on the island, it is also very suitable for demons or monsters to practice.
At the beginning, there was a ready-made natural cave, and demon cultivators native to the island once occupied this place for cultivation. However, because this cave is connected to the Yin Fire Earth Flame and the True Water Earth Spring at the bottom of the two spiritual peaks, there are often After being harassed by these two different powers, the demon cultivator did not dare to practice here again.
Wu Yan dared to choose the cave here, not because he had the ability to withstand the power of Yin Fire and True Water, but because he could set up a special forbidden formation here, making it impossible for the power of Yin Fire and True Water to appear. Invade the cave.
With the Forbidden Formation, you don't have to worry about these things, so it would be perfect to choose to cultivate quietly here. He doesn't have to guard against being disturbed, nor does he have to worry about spiritual energy and demonic energy.
After choosing the location of the cave, Wu Yan got two sets of forbidden formation equipment from Xuan Yao Zi, each with different strengths. He also told the two of them about the joint communication method, and even brought the formation equipment with him. The equipment went down to the chosen cave in the secluded cave and was deployed.
Two days later, when everything was arranged properly, Wu Yan returned to the ground again and sent the spiritual water prepared by two gourds to Ji Guitian. After inspecting the entire Xuanyuan Island, he placed a storage container containing two thousand high-level spiritual stones. The bag was handed over to Xuan Yaozi, and then he explained some trivial matters that he usually missed. After everything was arranged, he returned to the cave without any worries and began the real retreat.
The activation of the fifteen array plates of the Wuji Locking Array relies not only on the original spiritual energy on the island, but also on the embedding of high-level spiritual stones on the array plates to activate them.
This array is quite complicated to refine. It takes six high-level spiritual stones to activate one array plate, and ninety high-level spiritual stones for fifteen array plates. This activation usually lasts for a little more than a year, and up to several years, depending on the use of various powers of the array.
Such huge consumption can only be used by large sects or families. Fortunately, Wu Yan is now wealthy and can afford it.
Wu Yan estimates that this retreat will take nine years. After nine years, the assessment of this Sea Hunting Battle will also be coming to an end. After leaving the retreat, he can go directly to the Sea Hunting City to evaluate his ranking and receive rewards.
Because the Beast Hunting Valley is only a few hundred miles away from Wu Yan's retreat cave, it does not affect the recording of the Sea Hunting Merit Points obtained by hunting sea beasts into his Sea Hunting Order.
After a round in the cave, Wu Yan immediately activated the two forbidden formations arranged outside the cave, completely sealing himself in the cave.
His current immortal realm is the middle stage of the Jindan, and his magic skills are also the middle stage of the demon seed. Although he unexpectedly opened up the demon orifice, the demon seed did not transform into a higher-level existence. The realm of the demon orifice period is fake, so he must practice the Nixue Zhenjing to increase the chance of impacting the real demon orifice period.
As for how to impact the Nascent Soul realm, there is no need to consider it for the time being. To be honest, before reaching the state of great perfection in the late stage of the Jindan, he didn't even know how to form a baby, so it was naturally too early to consider these things.
His retreat cave is three natural huge stone caves. The left side, that is, the southern end, is connected to the cave under the Zhenshui Peak, and the right side is connected to the cave under the Diyan Peak. In these two caves, in the cave on the left, there is a natural ground vein spirit pond, which is very suitable for planting some spiritual objects such as spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs, and it has been opened up into a huge underground medicine garden.
In this huge cave, Wu Yan inlaid nine sun gold stones and nine moon silver stones in the special conversion restriction on the dome rock wall, making this cave, under the effect of the special conversion restriction, like the outside world, with its own changes of sun and moon, day and night cycle.
On all four sides of the medicine garden, there are gullies of varying depths connecting the earth veins and spiritual ponds, so that the spiritual water in the spiritual pond can be conveniently infused into any piece of medicine field, without worrying about the loss of spiritual water supply for spiritual herbs and medicines. When Wu Yan was wandering in Xiaogushan in his early years, he had learned some mechanical geomancy from the books of Feng Yaoshi. In his later practice, he also learned the five elements mechanical techniques from some sect classics, so it was natural for him to make these things.
Unfortunately, the furnace of heaven and earth cannot be taken out from the sea of consciousness to collect the fairy green soil and moonlight spirit liquid, so the medicine garden cannot cultivate spiritual herbs and medicines with long medicinal age. Fortunately, I will take root here to cultivate in the future. I don't need to rush to harvest the spiritual herbs and medicines after planting them. Sooner or later, I will have the opportunity to use the fairy green soil and moonlight spiritual liquid to promote their growth.
In the cave on the right, there is a natural Yin Fire Cave, but the exit is now sealed by the power of the forbidden formation. This cave is obviously not suitable for opening up a medicine garden. Wu Yan inlaid the moonlight stone in this cave and opened a worm breeding room in it. He sprinkled the spiritual feed made by Ji Han in it, put all the immortal swallowing worms in it, and let them eat the spiritual feed freely to grow.
The cave where Wu Yan cultivated was the middle one. This cave is very special. There is a huge Yin-Yang stone with a diameter of 30 meters in the middle. Under this stone, the two major earth veins of Xuanyuan Island are connected, the True Yang Earth Vein and the Extreme Yin Earth Vein. This huge Yin-Yang stone formed by the intersection of Yin and Yang is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also mixed with other magic energy, demon energy, Yin and Ming breath and other auras. It is all-encompassing and suitable for any race to absorb and practice.
Some people have come to Xuanyuan Island before, but this unique cave for practice has never been discovered, which is a wonder.
After Wu Yan inlaid a large number of moon fluorite on all sides of the dome rock wall of this cave, the whole cave was instantly lit up.
After Wu Yan sat cross-legged on the Yin-Yang stone, he did not rush to practice, but entered a state of silence and meditated first.
All the past events were vivid in his mind. Familiar scenes and familiar or unfamiliar faces flashed through his mind. All the grudges, all the worries, surged from his heart at this moment.
From movement to stillness, from life to death, Wu Yan released the emotions that had been suppressed for many years, allowing them to burst out at this moment without moving.
Three days and three nights passed, when all the complicated thoughts returned to nothingness and his emotions were no longer turbulent, Wu Yan completely fell into silence and began a nine-year long meditation.
At this moment, the world returned to nothingness, and I was also dust-free.
