第一千四百二十一章 幽州的诸多秘密

Hearing the young master's confidence, Yue'er didn't say much more. Although she had advanced to the Separation and Union stage herself, any problems encountered would still be decided by Lin Xuan.

The Fairy Red Silk had already left, and the Luo family no longer had any remnants. This journey through Youzhou had preliminarily achieved its purpose.

Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a streak of fire shot out—this was the Ten Thousand Miles Talisman.

After flickering slightly, it vanished into the distance on the horizon.

Having sent a message to Core Heart, Lin Xuan's entire body was enveloped in a green glow. He wrapped up the little girl before vanishing into the sky.

Several miles away.

At the peak of a spirit mountain, looking out, the fluctuations of spiritual energy were extremely chaotic. Countless cultivators gathered here.

However, at the forefront was a young maiden who appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.

She wore a light yellow dress and had a round face like an egg. While she wasn't considered a beauty, she was certainly cute and likable.

In terms of cultivation, this girl was merely at the mid-Condensation Core stage.

But all the cultivators before her showed extreme respect, as there were quite a few late-stage Condensation Core cultivators among them.

In the world of cultivation, might makes right. However, exceptions existed. Despite being slightly lower in rank than these cultivators, this girl's status was extremely high.

As the Second Pavilion Master of the Adoration Pavilion, one stomp from her jade foot would cause the entire Youzhou to tremble.

Suddenly, Liu Xin's brows rose slightly as a streak of fire appeared before her eyes. The波动 was very familiar—it was the young master sending out the Ten Thousand Miles Talisman.

The maiden's face lit up as she extended her hand. The fire light circled briefly and fell into her palm as if it had a mind of its own.

Liu Xin delved her spirit sense into it, then raised her delicate nose with a few signs of resolve: "Send orders..."

After the various outposts were taken down, the Luo family's main base was also breached. The elders and elite disciples were all killed, leaving only a few minor targets that posed no threat.

The Adoration Pavilion faced danger again, but it had been resolved by the young master once more," Liu Xin said as she held the Ten Thousand Miles Talisman in her hands, gazing into the distance with a rosy face. She sighed softly.

But daughter's heart was fated to be unfulfilled.

Unaware of this small episode, Lin Xuan was already tens of thousands of miles away at this moment.

The sun was setting on the hillside as autumn winds blew through the desolate plain. It was deserted, with a broken appearance that seemed untouched for many years.

Suddenly, a flash of green light descended from the sky.

The radiance faded to reveal an ordinary-looking young man by his side stood a stunning beauty whose looks and figure were irresistible.

It was already night. Lin Xuan looked at the darkened hills in the distance, where tree shadows swayed endlessly into the horizon.

This was Stream Leaping Canyon.

Revisiting this place, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel myriad emotions.

Of course, he wasn't here to reminisce; he came with questions.

Remembering back then, as a Flexible Spirit cultivator, he had come here in search of spirit herbs that could be used to refine top-grade pills.

By sheer chance, he ended up obtaining the treasure sought by Fire Spirit Sect.

While the Nine Heavens Profound Technique was unremarkable, the jade talisman was invaluable. According to Red Silk's words, it originated from the Spirit Realm and had been fiercely contested by many great cultivators.

Was this mere coincidence that such a treasure appeared in Stream Leaping Canyon?

Compared to other regions of the mortal world, Youzhou was a wilderness. It couldn't match even a fraction of the prosperity of Yunzhou or the former Tianzhou, let alone the splendor of Cloud Sea on Seven Stars Island.

But as Lin Xuan delved deeper, he felt increasingly suspicious about this matter.

Not only did the jade talisman pose questions, but Moon儿, who was the ruler of the Underworld, had also reincarnated in Youzhou. Was it mere coincidence?

There were more doubts.

The Blue Star Sea—this was the treasure that Lin Xuan relied on to survive and thrive. Even compared to the Heaven-piercing Treasure and Sacrifice, it seemed insignificant.

How could two low-ranking disciples have obtained such a thing back then? At that time, Zhou Yan was only at the Flexible Spirit stage, and her master was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage. Such cultivation levels couldn't travel far; in other words, the location where they discovered the Blue Star Sea must be close to Drifting Cloud Valley.

The Yunzhou and Youzhou were named as two prefectures but were essentially one entity.

The star sea, jade talisman, and the rebirth of the Arrogant King—these seemed like a wilderness. However, there were too many secrets in Youzhou that would shock anyone.

Lin Xuan's return was not just to help the Adoration Pavilion; he also wanted to explore the hidden aspects of Youzhou.

If his guess was correct, something significant must have happened here during ancient times.

Remembering how Tianzhou had been a paradise for cultivators but was destroyed by the Luo family and Seven Sects' battle, would Youzhou have had a similar experience?

And it might be even more shocking.

Of course, these were just speculations. The exact reasons still needed to be explored further.

Even if something did happen in ancient times, finding any truth now would be difficult. All he could do was try his best and leave the rest to fate.

On the other side of things.

In Tianzhou, within the Miasma Mountains.

Deep in the mountains, a dark and ominous cave.

"Ahh!"

A beast-like roar echoed as Tian Xiaojian trembled, his facial features twisted in extreme pain.

Around him was an endless sea of demonic energy that continued to pour into his body.

Demonic energy top-up.

This method of using external force to enhance one's cultivation and break through barriers wasn't a straightforward path. It naturally came with boundless suffering.

Tian Xiaojian's eyes bulged, and his hair stood on end. Following Feng Liang's instructions, he had sealed his core spirit.

However, halfway through the demonic energy top-up process, the terrifying pain automatically broke the seal.

On the other side, Feng Liang's face was as pale as paper. Although there was no sign of pain in his eyes, he clearly had drawn on too much of his power.

But despite this, his hands moved ceaselessly, and the incantations he chanted grew more urgent.

"Spit...!"

Feng Liang spat out a mouthful of blood due to overexertion. But ignoring his injuries, he continued with the demonic energy top-up ritual.

If someone didn't know, they might think Tian Xiaojian was his disciple in love, but in reality, both were using each other. His efforts were for another purpose entirely.

This old man was extremely selfish and wouldn't do something that benefited others at the expense of himself.

The demonic energy continued to pour into Tian Xiaojian's body. After a full day, he suddenly raised his head and let out an ear-piercing roar...

Like a caged beast in the depths of hell, his voice echoed through the clouds.

However, this roar was so powerful that it stirred the primordial energies of heaven and earth. The only possibility for such an effect was that Tian Xiaojian had finally advanced to the Separation and Union stage.
