As the sword light shimmered and flowed, the world had already changed its appearance.
When the Fairy of Ten Thousand Gu regained her senses and looked again, the sword light had dissipated, and she was already standing on a cliff.
The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, and the cold air was bone-chilling.
Looking into the distance, one sees a sea of clouds surging in the azure sky, rising and falling with the wind, with one after another strange peaks dotting the landscape, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty and fairyland.
The Myriad Gu Fairy was deeply shocked, thinking to herself, "Is this the difference between a direct descendant of a rogue immortal and an ordinary rogue cultivator?"
Lin Yi released his arm from around the waist of the Myriad Gu Fairy and pointed to the deep valley below the cliff, saying, "Miss Yu, is this the place?"
Wan Gu Xian Niang then remembered that she had been carried all the way here, and two blushes rose on her face, making her even more charming. She parted her lips slightly and said softly, "This is the place. Is Daoist Lin sure you want to go down? After all, the person who was sealed has unfathomable magical power."
Lin Yi flicked his sword with his fingers, and the clear, melodious sword hummed, demonstrating his determination.
On the path to immortality, all gains and losses depend on one's mindset.
Everyone has their own standard for when to fight hard and when to back down. Different choices will naturally yield different results.
The legacy left by the Tai Xuan Elder in this sealed land is something Lin Yi is unwilling to give up and is determined to obtain at all costs.
He knew far more about this sealed place than the Fairy of Ten Thousand Gu.
The ancient cultivator sealed here is named Granny Tai Xuan. She was originally the wife of Tai Xuan's father-in-law. She was of human origin and also learned the Daoist techniques of the Tai Xuan lineage.
However, the couple, one a human and the other a great saint of the demon race, had many grudges due to their different origins, turning them from husband and wife into bitter enemies.
Later, Granny Tai Xuan colluded with a wicked sorcerer, learned a set of evil spells, and attacked Tai Xuan's father-in-law, killing all six children born to the couple.
Originally, Tai Xuan's father-in-law still cared about their past relationship, so he took action to kill the evil sorcerer and suppress Tai Xuan's grandmother in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and the seal left by the old man Tai Xuan can no longer suppress the old woman inside.
This led to Zhu Wan and the Fairy of Ten Thousand Gu's earlier encounter.
Lin Yi is not a descendant of the Tai Xuan lineage. To enter the sealed land, he can only do so through Granny Tai Xuan. This is the fundamental reason why he brought the Myriad Gu Fairy with him.
………………
Upon reaching the valley below the cliff, the Myriad Gu Fairy led Lin Yi on a walk for a while before suddenly saying, "If we continue forward, we will reach the residence of that senior. Daoist Lin, do you truly possess magical powers to help him escape his predicament?"
As she spoke, she blinked.
Seeing that the Myriad Gu Fairy was clever and knew how to act, Lin Yi sneered and said, "How could my magic power be compared to that trash Zhu Wan? I have mastered the peerless sword technique of sword qi and thunder sound. Even the true disciples of various sects of Taoism are not in my eyes."
His words were arrogant and domineering, perfectly portraying the image of a proud and arrogant rogue cultivator.
The two walked and talked, and soon they arrived at a dilapidated palace in the canyon.
This palace must have been incredibly luxurious back then, with golden beams and jade pillars, and even the curtains were made of the finest silk. Judging from its grandeur, it was clearly the mausoleum of an ancient emperor, lacking any celestial air.
The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in Lin Yi's hand emitted a faint light, illuminating the dark palace.
While the Fairy of Ten Thousand Gu was still looking around in the palace, Lin Yi suddenly felt a slight chill on his body and thought to himself, "She's here."
Deep within the palace, a white light shone forth, transforming into a light curtain that slowly unfolded, revealing the images of Lin Yi and the Myriad Gu Fairy.
A man in black robes stood in front of the light screen. After glancing at it briefly, the images on the screen changed, reflecting the situation within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Everything is normal, there's nothing wrong with it.
The woman in black robes was relieved. When she released Zhu Wan and Wan Gu Xian Niang last time, she secretly used some methods to prevent them from actually attracting a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
"With these two little guys interfering with the operation of the Taixu Robe, I will have more room to maneuver, and my hope of escaping will increase."
With these thoughts in mind, the man in black robes channeled his magic power and pulled Lin Yi and the Myriad Gu Fairy from afar, causing them to involuntarily flee underground.
As the light curtain dissipated, the figure in black robes gradually faded away, like a wisp of black smoke blown away by the wind.
Lin Yi and the Fairy of Ten Thousand Gu broke through the earth and rocks, heading downwards. After about half an incense stick's time, they finally saw a huge cocoon of light, with countless talismans and true characters on it, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, moving erratically.
A man in black robes appeared beside the cocoon of light. After seeing Lin Yi and the Myriad Gu Fairy, he said, "You two should wait here for now. My time to travel in my avatar today has come. I will come back in seven days to guide you two in breaking the formation."
After saying that, he disappeared completely.
Lin Yi reached out and captured the Myriad Gu Fairy into the Qiankun Cauldron, sending her to keep the Su sisters company. Then he circled the cocoon of light once.
This cocoon of light covered an area of hundreds of miles. Lin Yi could sense the vast magical power surging within it, but it did not show any of its power. It was as if there was an invisible maw that had swallowed up all the magical power.
"Have I reached the point where I've finally revealed my true colors?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, and the eternal light beneath his feet intertwined, transforming into a rainbow bridge that carried him into the cocoon of light.
Countless talismans and true runes shone continuously around his body, and the space within the cocoon of light seemed infinite, like a galaxy beyond the nine heavens.
"Hiding away and refusing to come out?" Lin Yi chuckled, and the "Gate to the Other Shore" deep within his sea of consciousness lit up, with an incomparably powerful suction force spreading outwards.
More than one-tenth of the magical power surging within the cocoon of light was absorbed in an instant.
Grandma Tai Xuan, sealed deep within the cocoon of light, let out a muffled groan. All this magical power was something she had painstakingly cultivated.
Tai Xuan Zhangren is known as the ancestor of array formations, and the thirty-six array diagrams he created are unparalleled in the world.
When He used the Taixu Robe to suppress Granny Taixuan, He set up a special restriction that could extract Granny Taixuan's magic power and supply it to the Taixu Robe, which was equivalent to making this magic treasure be refined by someone day and night.
The day the Taixu Robe is further refined and reaches the True Form level will be the day when Granny Taixuan loses all hope of escaping her predicament.
Just as Lin Yi was about to draw magic power from the cocoon of light again, a green light curtain suddenly rolled towards him.
