Chapter 908 Time Sands
After recovering from his injury, Wu Yan did not rush to leave the Zhenxianju, but chose to continue his retreat.
By refining the 1,080 formation flags of the Zhoutian Star Formation, Wu Yan had successfully broken through the barrier that had previously blocked him and saw his own formation.
His understanding of formations and prohibitions has also made great progress. He decided to re-sort out the formation inheritance of the Baoxiao Sect and the formation experience of Xuan Yazi that he had inherited before, and combined with his own formation experience, to refine a formation magic weapon of his own.
Now that he has successfully cultivated the fire of consciousness, Wu Yan also wants to use his current advantages to conduct a comprehensive review of his alchemy to see if he can make new breakthroughs.
Moreover, after absorbing the true essence left in his body by Luo Tian, his realm has reached the perfection of the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit in one fell swoop. He also wants to take this opportunity to retreat and try to break through.
There are indeed many things that need to be completed with a calm mind. This retreat is inevitable for Wu Yan. However, before retreating, some things still need to be resolved.
First, Wu Yan contacted the two girls, Hu Ruyan and Hu Ruyan from the Heavenly Fox Holy Sect.
After learning that the two girls were doing well and their cultivation was going smoothly, Wu Yan was completely relieved. However, Wu Yan still specifically told Zhu Junyu that when she reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul and was ready to cross the tribulation and become a god, she must contact him.
After arranging the affairs of the two girls, there was another matter that should be settled. He didn't know how long his retreat would last this time. If there were any problems in the middle, he might delay other people's important matters.
Wu Yan invited Fu Feng, the elder in charge of Zhenxianju, to his quiet room, handed him an ice box containing Leng Yao, and asked him to secretly send it to the Ice God Temple and personally hand it over to Leng Jiuyun, the current master of the Ice God Temple.
Fu Feng was a cultivator in the early stage of Lianxu, but because he was in charge of Zhenxianju, his reputation in the entire Lingxu land was still very high. It was safest to ask him to do this.
Fu Feng knew Wu Yan's position in Zhenxianju very well. Wu Yan entrusted him with a task, so he was very dedicated. After he received the ice box, he didn't even ask what was inside. He promised Wu Yan that even if he lost his life, he would definitely complete the task assigned by Wu Yan.
After arranging this matter, Wu Yan had no psychological burden before his retreat.
He sealed his quiet room with the Zhoutian Star Array and began a retreat that he himself didn't know how long it would last.
There is no time for cultivation, and Wu Yan had a lot to accomplish during this retreat, so he had to make full use of every minute of time. Therefore, after closing the Zhoutian Star Array, he immediately sacrificed the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding and escaped into the Dongtian Spiritual Domain.
...
Time flies, and before he knew it, more than 30 years had passed outside.
During this period, the entire Lingxu land also fell into silence. The four major sects had been at peace because the leaders of each sect were in retreat to impact the fusion realm.
Master Dugu, who was out on business, had been out for more than 40 years but had never been heard from again. Fortunately, the cultivators in Zhenxianju were all loyal men trained by him. During the absence of Master Dugu, Zhenxianju was just as usual and nothing happened.
According to the fact that the flow rate of time in the Dongtian Spiritual Domain is twelve times that of the outside world, Wu Yan has been in seclusion in the Dongtian Spiritual Domain for more than 360 years.
Such a long time seemed like a moment to Wu Yan.
On this day, a flash of light appeared in the Zhoutian Star Array. Wu Yan, who was in seclusion in the Dongtian Spiritual Domain, escaped from the Dongtian Spiritual Domain and put away the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding. On his indifferent face, there was a trace of distress.
After more than 360 years of seclusion, Wu Yan naturally gained a lot. His cultivation has now reached the state of great perfection in the late stage of the Spiritualization, and it seems that there are signs of a breakthrough at any time.
His body refining technique has now reached the peak state of the eighth level, but he has not yet been able to break through to the ninth level.
However, it is worth mentioning that Wu Yan has made unprecedented gains and progress in both the Dao of Formation and the Dao of Alchemy.
During the retreat, Wu Yan has completely comprehended the Dao of Formation. His Dao of Formation is similar to the Dao of Sword that he has practiced, and it is also the extremely mysterious Dao of Dayan.
And the progress in the Dao of Alchemy is much greater than that in the Dao of Formation. It is a bit scary to say that Wu Yan is now a real sixth-level Dan King. If it were not for the lack of seventh-level fairy grass for him to refine the elixir, I am afraid that he would have reached the realm of the seventh-level Dan King during the retreat.
During this period, in addition to practicing and comprehending the Dao of Formation and Alchemy, Wu Yan also spent a lot of time refining a mysterious and unique fairy treasure and practicing new magical skills.
The main material of this fairy treasure is the dead banana leaf that fell off the Banana Immortal Root.
Wu Yan used the top-level materials in his hands to refine this dead banana leaf into a banana fan that looks very strange.
This banana leaf fan is no more than three feet long and one foot wide, with a half-foot long natural handle. The entire withered yellow fan has hundreds of cracks and holes of varying sizes. It really doesn't look good.
It can't be blamed on Wu Yan's poor weapon-refining skills. It's because the banana leaf itself doesn't look good. Moreover, this banana leaf is a rare wind-attributed spiritual object. Even if Wu Yan has the three strongest weapon-refining auxiliary methods of God-level Yin Fire, Immortal-level Yang Fire, and God-consciousness Fire, he can't do anything to this banana leaf.
In the end, he could only choose to refine the banana leaf, add various materials to it, and make a banana fan fairy treasure according to the original appearance of the banana leaf.
On the contrary, the practice of magical combat skills has achieved results that make Wu Yan quite satisfied.
The three Xuan Gong combat skills attached to the Ji Xuan Breaking the Void Jue were originally aimed at the Ji Xuan Qi, but the Ji Xuan Qi itself is a branch of the Holy Yuan Qi. Based on the original three combat skills, in Wu After Yan cultivated the Holy Yuan Golden Blood, these three combat skills were upgraded to one level based on the original ones, becoming magical combat skills.
Wu Yan has become extremely proficient in the "Nine Fists of Breaking the Void", especially after Wu Yan understood the method of using Shenjin and some of the spatial artistic conception, and the three fists of "The Holy Yuan Breaking the Void" were also practiced by Wu Yan.
Now, he has begun to practice the third magical combat skill - "Holy Yuan Shattering Sky". Unfortunately, because there was no suitable weapon as an auxiliary to perform this magical combat skill, Wu Yan could only use this combat skill in his palm technique.
The best auxiliary weapon for performing "Holy Yuan Shattering Sky" is naturally a magic weapon such as an axe. However, Wu Yan did not have the suitable materials to refine such a magic treasure, so he could only put it aside temporarily until the appropriate materials were collected in the future before he could refine this treasure.
Wu Yan's troubles come from the Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm. This problem is indeed a bit difficult for him to solve.
When he ended the retreat this time, he actually had to end it forcibly because of this trouble. The flow rate of time in the Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm has become comparable to that in the real world.
Now, Zhuangshan Ghost has basically figured out all the arrangements within the entire Dongtian Spiritual Domain. He reported to Wu Yan that the problem of time flow in the Dongtian Spiritual Realm was entirely related to the mysterious energy originally possessed by the Dongtian Yuanzhu.
Dayan Zhuxian Cave Heaven was originally a cave heaven owned by Daozhen Temple. Later, after Wu Yan successfully integrated it, he refined it into his own cave heaven. Before that, the Yuan Pearl in the cave itself could not change the flow of time.
The entire underground of Dongtian is also the basis for the existence of Dongtian. It is a huge array in itself. The time formation in this array had been mobilized by monks from Daozhen Temple before, turning it into a flow rate twelve times that of the outside world.
However, now there is a problem with the Dongtian Yuanzhu that activates this formation disk, which has caused the time formation disk to lose its effect and return to its original state.
To be precise, this problem occurred because the special energy supporting the time array disk in the Dongtian Yuanzhu had been exhausted. This special energy, according to Zhuangshan Ghost's reaction, should be a special thing called "time quicksand".
With the knowledge of Zhuangshan Ghost, it is naturally impossible to know this. These were all found in the ancient classics that were originally sealed by Daozhen Temple monks in the cave.
Only by finding this "quicksand of time" can we use the Dongtian Yuanzhu again to activate the time flow rate of the time array disk.
The most troublesome thing is that Wu Yan has never heard of such a thing. Over the years, he has never seen any record of such a thing in any classics in the world of immortality. Even the classic book that recorded this "quicksand of time" did not have any other records or supplements about it.
However, if the "Quicksand of Time" cannot be found, then the supporting role of the Dongtian Spiritual Realm in Wu Yan's cultivation will be greatly weakened.
What makes Wu Yan even more distressed is that he cannot inquire about the origin of the "Quicksand of Time" from others. You know, since this "time quicksand" is a treasure that can activate the time array, it is naturally related to the artistic conception of time.
As we all know, in the world of immortality, the most difficult thing to comprehend is not the artistic conception of space, but the artistic conception of time. Therefore, anything that can help to understand the artistic conception of time is enough to cause the monks in the entire world of immortality to go crazy.
If he rashly inquires about the "Quicksand of Time", regardless of whether he can get the exact information, once this information is leaked, he will face endless pursuit.
Anyway, they had all come out of the Cave Heaven Spirit Realm. Wu Yan simply closed the Zhoutian Star Formation, called the disciples of the Formation Immortal Residence, and asked him if there was any news about him in the outside world during the years of seclusion.
The disciple who was summoned by Wu Yan said to Wu Yan: "Senior, all matters related to senior in the outside world are in charge of my master Fu Feng. I will ask my master to come over and talk to my senior in detail, right?"
Wu Yan nodded, and the disciple turned around and went out. A moment later, Fu Feng walked in from the outside. He looked Wu Yan up and down first, and then a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face. He raised his hands and said congratulations: "Congratulations Wu Yan." Junior Brother, I didn’t expect that during this retreat, I would break through the middle stage of Divine Transformation and reach the Great Perfection of the Late Divine Transformation stage. I guess Junior Brother Wu will be facing the calamity of refining the void in the near future, right?”
Wu Yan spoke modestly and asked casually: "Brother Fu, while I am in seclusion, is there any news related to my junior brother from outside?"
After Fu Feng thought for a while, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Wu Yan, saying: "There is no other news, but when Junior Brother Wu asked me to go to the Ice Temple to do something, the Ice Temple Master repeatedly emphasized that, I want to thank my junior brother in person. Brother Wei told her that he had already started retreating, so she didn’t come, but she gave this storage ring to her brother and told her to give it to you personally. "
