第三千六百二十章 扬长避短

The Jade Pupil Scroll was a common item in the cultivation world, but it was treasured so much by Heavenly Ascending Demon Lord that he had stored it in his storage bracelet. Its value must be considerable.

Lin Xuan's face also showed a serious expression. He raised his right hand, and the Jade Pupil Scroll seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flashing with spiritual light before landing in his palm.

Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly as he sank his divine sense into it. Black characters appeared in his mind one by one.

This turned out to be a cultivation technique.

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he decided to comprehend it thoroughly.

Three days and three nights later, Lin Xuan raised his head again. His expression was full of uncertainty.

This cultivation technique proved far more complex than he had imagined.

After all, Lin Xuan had an extensive knowledge base and was a late-stage cultivator who had mastered the Mystic Moon Heaven Witch Technique, which was intricate and obscure.

Logically speaking, even if the technique itself was somewhat obscure, it should have taken him at least one or two days to comprehend it. However, after three days, Lin Xuan still had no clue.

This situation seemed incredible just by thinking about it.

The Nine Holy Heavenly Demon Technique truly was non-trivial!

If his guess was correct, this was likely the main cultivation technique of that Heavenly Ascending Demon Lord himself.

Would his second元婴 be able to practice it?

Lin Xuan wasn't greedy. His second元婴 had already been practicing demon techniques. However, with his current strength, the power of Snow Shadow True Devil Technique seemed slightly weaker. Over time, this gap would continue to widen between him and his main元婴.

This was a situation Lin Xuan didn't want to see. The Nine Holy Heavenly Demon Technique could be used as an emergency measure.

Of course, it wouldn't be useful on the way to the Fallen Demon Valley; after all, changing cultivation techniques wasn't something that happened overnight.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan put the Jade Pupil Scroll into his pocket.

There was nothing else on the ground. The Heavenly Ascending Demon Ancestor had left few treasures behind.

Lin Xuan didn’t show any disappointment on his face. A person should be content with what they have; apart from the pills whose uses he did not know, the other talismans and the Jade Pupil Scroll were priceless treasures.

Lin Xuan resumed his seated position to nourish his spirit and energy.

...

Twenty days passed in a blink.

The Spirit Boat flew swiftly, bringing Lin Xuan close to the Fallen Demon Valley.

By "close," it was relative. In actual distance, there were still nearly a million miles away.

Lin Xuan stopped the Spirit Boat.

A million miles might be unattainable for ordinary people, but for cultivators at this level, it was within their divine sense's range.

In other words, if he continued to approach, his figure could potentially become visible.

Thus, Lin Xuan chose to stop. He had come here to save someone and knew that the opponent had set numerous traps. Lin Xuan wouldn't foolishly rush in.

As the saying went: "Outwit rather than outmuscle." Although Lin Xuan had advanced to late-stage cultivation, he still believed that brute force couldn’t solve problems; using wisdom was more efficient.

The opponent had given him a month’s time.

According to Qin Yan's plan, Lin Xuan would likely have several days to consider things carefully before setting off again. Ten days should be enough for this journey.

Qin Yan's calculations were correct, but Lin Xuan was much more resolute than she anticipated. He didn't hesitate; after receiving the news, he set out immediately, saving him a lot of time.

Arriving ten days early, even if Fairy Cloudy Lady had planned everything meticulously, it would still be unforeseen.

In other words, Lin Xuan had gained an advantage. With his deep scheming, he naturally intended to make full use of it.

If he could sneak into the Fallen Demon Valley without anyone noticing and rescue a few girls, that would be perfect.

Even if he couldn't do so, quietly sneaking in was much better than foolishly rushing in.

With this thought, Lin Xuan took a deep breath. His body emitted a sudden burst of spiritual light, but as time passed, his aura grew weaker until it was barely perceptible.

The Mystic Moon Heaven Witch Technique had an effect of returning to its most fundamental form. With his current strength, Lin Xuan had mastered the art of concealing his presence to such a degree that it seemed almost ethereal.

He transformed into a faint streak of light and flew towards the Fallen Demon Valley.

Half an hour later, a range of undulating mountains came into view.

Deep within these mountains lay the Fallen Demon Valley, a place feared even by high-stage cultivators.

A thick fog enveloped the area, but from far away, Lin Xuan could feel terrifying demonic energy emanating from it.

Legends said that countless域外demons and ancient cultivators had fallen in battle here. It seemed these stories were true.

Lin Xuan had visited the Ancient Demon Realm before...

But the demon energy here was vastly different from that of the Ancient Demon Realm, much more intimidating.

Lin Xuan did not rashly enter the Fallen Demon Valley but landed at its periphery instead. He chose a hidden location and took out his flying sword to create a crude cave dwelling.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and released an extremely powerful divine sense, carefully searching.

The Fallen Demon Valley was vast with countless dangers. Lin Xuan wouldn't recklessly rush in; he would first use his divine sense to search, although he didn’t expect to find the girls' whereabouts, at least he could gather some clues, making his efforts more targeted and easier.

Of course, this idea was easy to think of but difficult to implement. Since Fairy Cloudy Lady had chosen the Fallen Demon Valley, she would undoubtedly set countless traps here out of both reason and emotion.

Lin Xuan’s divine sense search might accidentally trigger a禁制, alerting her.

That would be counterproductive.

Lin Xuan knew this; he dared to do so because he believed he had some leverage.

While other abilities were not mentioned, in terms of divine sense, Lin Xuan was confident that his was at least as strong as that of the Loose Immortal Demon King.

How could a Loose Immortal Demon King compare? His divine sense likely wasn’t inferior to legendary True Immortals.

Play to his strengths!

Thus, while this search was complex, Lin Xuan still had confidence in not alerting Fairy Cloudy Lady.

Time passed slowly. An hour later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes.

"Master, any clues?"

Moon's voice entered his ears; she and Little Butterfly had come to stand beside him.

Lin Xuan didn't speak but reached into the storage bracelet on his waist, taking out a Jade Pupil Scroll.

This was an empty scroll. He placed it on his forehead and injected his divine sense, drawing a map based on memory.

A map of the Fallen Demon Valley.

In just a short while, it wouldn’t be detailed, but with this map, finding the girls’ whereabouts would be much easier.

Lin Xuan’s plan was to find their hiding place directly if luck favored him. With one swift move, he could rescue them all. That would be ideal.
