Chapter 1856: Chapter 1856: Returning to Falling Sky Peak
"All disappeared!" Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank.
Was it the Fog God Temple or the Tianhe Sect?
After all, the Mist Continent is the domain of the Fog God Temple and the Tianhe Sect.
"Brother, if you enter the Buddha Burial Pure Land, you must be cautious of the Fog God Temple and Tianhe Sect," Teng Yi warned.
The Fog God Temple and Tianhe Sect dominate the Mist Continent with unrivaled power.
If Yang Xiaotian enters the Buddha Burial Pure Land and is discovered by the Fog God Temple and Tianhe Sect, the consequences would be dire.
The combination of the Fog God Temple and Tianhe Sect equates to half of the Mist Continent.
Even the Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon, though formidable, would struggle to resist half of the Mist Continent.
"Alright, senior brother, I understand." Yang Xiaotian nodded.
After sitting for a while longer, Yang Xiaotian bid farewell to Teng Yi and then proceeded to the ninth layer of the Scripture Storing Hall, beginning his review of all the ancient texts it contained.
According to Teng Yi, the ninth layer contains books recording information about some rare Divine Medicine from the Holy Realm.
If Yang Xiaotian wants to find Eternal Life Grass, he can start with the ninth layer.
Two days later, after Yang Xiaotian had reviewed all the books on the ninth layer, he set off with the Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon, leaving Hongmeng City.
This time, he only brought the Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon.
Old Lu remained in Hongmeng City to continue gathering information and train more followers in the Great Saint Realm.
Over the years, Yang Xiaotian continuously purchased followers in the Saint Peak Realm, then cultivated them into the Great Saint Realm.
Now, he commands a force of ten thousand Great Saint Realm followers.
He instructs Old Lu, Zuo Meng, Li Gu, and others to frequently train and gather information with these followers.
However, before leaving the Three Pure Continents, Yang Xiaotian intends to visit the Blood Demon Clan’s Cold Pond and Falling Sky Peak.
Last time he entered the Blood Demon Clan’s Cold Pond, he found the other half of the Kaiyuan Sword blade. Inside the Cold Pond, there was always an eerie sound, which he intends to investigate this time.
As for Falling Sky Peak, he and Master Ding could only reach the Eleventh Layer Dao Saint Water area last time.
This time, he’s going to try to enter the Twelfth Layer Dao Saint Water area.
If he enters the Twelfth Layer Dao Saint Water area and finds enough of the Twelfth Layer Dao Saint Water, Master Ding may have hope of restoring his Three Strike of Epoch power!
Soon, he arrived at the Blood Demon Clan’s Blood Demon Mountain range with the Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon.
The Blood Demon Clan had long gone with the White Night Demon Clan to the Mist Continent, and now the Blood Demon Mountain range was desolate.
The three encountered no resistance and reached the Cold Pond.
Yang Xiaotian, well-versed with the route, descended to the bottom of the Cold Pond.
Passing through the multiple cold currents of the Cold Pond, Yang Xiaotian arrived before the Cold Pond black hole.
However, what puzzled Yang Xiaotian was that when he reached the black hole, there was no sound of anything striking the iron walls.
Yang Xiaotian and his two companions broke through the cold currents, entered the black hole, and arrived at the bottom of the black hole.
At the bottom of the black hole was a vast plaza.
On the plaza, there were several broken Cold Iron chains.
On the ground, there were some bloodstains.
Apart from these, there was nothing else.
Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to inspect these Cold Iron chains.
These Cold Iron chains are rare, possessing the Ice Cold Attribute of Cold Iron, extraordinarily tough—many top-grade Dao Holy Artifacts cannot cut through them.
Looking at these Cold Iron chains and the bloodstains on the ground, Yang Xiaotian began to ponder; from these chains and bloodstains, it appeared someone had been imprisoned here.
Likely imprisoned by the Blood Demon Clan.
When he was here last time, the person was still imprisoned.
Now, the imprisoned person was no longer here, possibly taken away by the Blood Demon Clan.
It was also possible they escaped on their own.
But the possibility of escaping on their own is low; they were likely taken away when the Blood Demon Clan retreated.
Who would be worthy of such cautious treatment by the Blood Demon Clan, imprisoned under such a Cold Pond, and even taken along upon retreat?
After sweeping his eyes around without finding anything else, Yang Xiaotian and his companions could only exit the Cold Pond.
After leaving the Cold Pond, Yang Xiaotian visited the Blood Demon Clan’s stronghold, and finding nothing significant, he set off with the Blood Demon Old Monster to Falling Sky Peak.
Looking at Falling Sky Peak and the Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array, the Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon were astonished.
"Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array!" Destroying Heaven Demon exclaimed in shock, "Whose handiwork is this?"
Both have profound knowledge of formations, yet even they cannot arrange such an Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array!
"This person’s formation realm has undoubtedly reached the Realm of Creation of All Things!" Blood Demon Old Monster exclaimed in excitement.
Yang Xiaotian nodded, Master Ding had said the same previously.
Though visiting Falling Sky Peak for the second time, seeing the peak and its Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array still was awe-inspiring.
The roiling Chaos Heavenly Thunder seemed to surge into their spirit and Sea of Souls, ceaselessly.
After pausing a moment, Yang Xiaotian took out the Falling Sky Bell, entering Falling Sky Peak with the Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon.
The pair were equally astounded that the Falling Sky Bell could withstand the endless Chaos Heavenly Thunder of Falling Sky Peak.
They stared at the Falling Sky Bell, studying the runes on it, amazed.
"Is the Falling Sky Bell crafted by the same person who arranged this Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array?" Destroying Heaven Demon marveled, "Such artifact refining skill is truly magnificent."
Blood Demon Old Monster concurred, "This individual’s artifact refining expertise is among the top ten in the Holy Realm!"
"Could you infer this person’s identity from the Falling Sky Bell?" Yang Xiaotian asked curiously.
Over the years, he has been studying the Falling Sky Bell as well.
His artifact refining technique has improved significantly as a result.
He too wishes to know who arranged the Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array and crafted this Falling Sky Bell.
Blood Demon Old Monster and Destroying Heaven Demon, somewhat embarrassed, shook their heads, saying they did not know.
"However, Holy Master, if you ever visit Ancestor Continent, you could inquire with the Wuding Sect’s ancestor. The Wuding Sect’s ancestor is renowned in the Holy Realm as an expert in artifact refining. He might know who crafted the Falling Sky Bell," Blood Demon Old Monster suggested.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
Utilizing the Falling Sky Bell, he comfortably arrived with the two at the Eleventh Layer Dao Saint Water area they had reached previously.
As they attempted to enter the Twelfth Layer Dao Saint Water area, they encountered an invisible Great Array Prohibition again.
Destroying Heaven Demon attacked, yet his offensive power was scattered by this invisible Great Array Prohibition.
Yang Xiaotian was astonished.
The Innate Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Great Array was formidable even without anyone operating it; anyone operating it would make it ten times more potent.
However, it is also due to the Destroying Heaven Demon’s power not being fully restored; once his power recovers, he could break through this Great Array Prohibition.
Seeing this, Blood Demon Old Monster pressed forward, placing a palm on the Great Array Prohibition ahead. The prohibition’s light surged intensely, ultimately slowly shattering.
Once the Great Array Prohibition fractured sufficiently, Yang Xiaotian and his companions darted into the Twelfth Layer Dao Saint Water area.
Upon entry, Yang Xiaotian immediately sensed the intense Dao Holy Spirit Aura.
