Chapter 1429: A Strange and Bizarre Land (Part Two)

With another wave of his hand, Li Yan added more illusion and defensive formations to the perimeter of the restrictions he had already set.

‘Never mind where this is. Perhaps this suppression of Divine Sense and slight influence on magical power is just a special situation in this area I’ve landed in. After leaving here, everything might return to normal. At that time, I can carefully explore the situation here and see how I can leave!’

After Li Yan had roughly confirmed his own situation, his eyes flickered as he looked around again. A moment later, he sat down cross-legged.

Without a clear understanding of the dangers elsewhere, this place was temporarily relatively safe. Although Li Yan had decided to leave here, he had to first restore himself to his peak state.

Otherwise, with all the strangeness and weirdness revealed by this place, if he rushed around in this state and encountered an unknown danger, he would have no ability to escape.

He had been here for half an incense stick of time. Apart from some birds and beasts that had reappeared, no other people or demons had appeared.

His Divine Sense had been almost depleted after just a few tests just now.

Under the protection of the dual formations, the cross-legged Li Yan was still a little uneasy. With another series of waves of his large sleeve, thousands of various Gu-insects appeared around him.

As soon as those Gu-insects appeared, they either crawled on the ground and swarmed around, or hovered around Li Yan. They came in various forms, some resembling beetles, some shaped like centipedes.

They were all colorful, large and small. Many of the Gu-insects had sharp and cold teeth in their mouths, and one could tell at a glance that they were highly poisonous.

Li Yan’s Divine Sense could not be extended far, so his Divine Sense, in the “Earthen Patch,” commanded these Gu-insects through his mind to act as his guardians.

There were actually tens of thousands of Snow Mosquitoes in the “Earthen Patch,” as well as Qian Ji’s consorts and offspring, but Li Yan had not brought them out.

These Gu-insects had been given to him by Zhao Min. They had all been refined by Li Yan before being placed in the “Earthen Patch.”

It was just that normally, Li Yan preferred to set ambushes and assassinate, so he did not use these Gu-insects much, but had kept them as a backup.

Today, after his Divine Sense was almost unusable here, he immediately took them out as guardians. Although the Snow Mosquitoes were controlled by Qian Ji’s consorts and were also loyal, Li Yan had not refined them. If he directly controlled them, it was fine to use them as thugs, but for a major matter like being a guardian, Li Yan would definitely not be at ease.

After arranging all this, Li Yan finally felt at ease. If someone wanted to sneak attack him, they would first have to silently break through his dual formation restrictions, and then pass through this army of Gu-insects.

On the ground around him, there were also many high-grade Spirit Stones. Then, after picking up a Spirit Stone in each of his two hands, Li Yan immediately closed his eyes. He needed to seize the time to recover. …

Four days later, the cross-legged Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, the large and small wounds on his exposed skin had all disappeared, and it was as smooth as a mirror.

These injuries caused by the tearing of space had actually completely healed in just half an hour under the self-healing effect of the “Undead Nether Phoenix,” plus Li Yan’s pills.

However, it took him a day to recover his strength and Magical Power. And then, after spending a lot more time, his Divine Sense had finally fully recovered.

At this moment, Li Yan, with the help of various pills, had once again reached his peak state.

‘My perception was not wrong. The laws of heaven and earth here are really a bit strange. The Magical Power that could have been recovered in half a day, when circulating the heavenly cycle, there would always be some a sense of separation and detachment…’ Li Yan thought to himself, but he had already stood up, and at the same time, a light flashed on his body, and he had changed into a new black robe.

Since he had recovered, he had to leave here immediately. But looking at the Gu-insects around him, Li Yan couldn’t help but frown.

When he had released them, because the “Earthen Patch” was in the skin of his left wrist, his Divine Sense could still communicate with it relatively easily and release them. But now if he wanted to take them back, he could no longer take them back directly with a sweep of his Divine Sense as before.

He either had to get close to these Gu-insects, stretch out his arm and get close to them, or first use his Magical Power to bring them to his arm. Li Yan had no choice but to have his Magical Power surge in his hand and wave it around…

After collecting the Gu-insects and the formations, a gloomy light flashed all over Li Yan’s body, and his body quickly became ethereal. “Stealthy Night Art” was activated again.

Soon, the ethereal Li Yan, his body taut, quietly rushed into the air. Li Yan crashed through one cloud after another, and just like that, he kept flying upwards, upwards, and upwards, continuously…

Before leaving here, Li Yan still had one more thing to do. If he succeeded, he might be able to leave this strange place directly.

But the premise was still to hide himself well first, so as not to become a conspicuous target for others!

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Li Yan was hovering in the air. The ground below had already become blurry, and the various sceneries, viewed from the air, appeared as large blocks of different blurry colors.

Li Yan looked up at the sky. He had been flying straight up for nearly a quarter of an hour. Even in his concealed state, he must have flown a distance of more than a hundred thousand zhang, but he still had not reached the end.

‘From the water plants to the riverbed, and then to the sky with blue sky and white clouds, it was only a very short time, and it felt like only seven or eight breaths. But I have been flying in a straight line for so long, and it definitely exceeded the speed of my fall. I still haven’t seen that riverbed. The sky above seems to be endless…’

After Li Yan stopped flying, he hovered there, looking up at the sky, his face solemn.

After thinking for a while, a sharp light flashed in Li Yan’s eyes. He raised a hand, and with a surge of Magical Power in his hand, he gently swiped to the side.

Then, a white mark appeared there, but it disappeared in an instant. The spatial crack he had imagined did not appear.

Li Yan’s expression did not change. With a thought, a “Sand Star King Stone” appeared in his hand. He once again swiped at the empty space in front of him, and another white mark appeared, and then disappeared again without a trace.

“I can’t enter the chaotic flow space either!”

Li Yan’s heart sank. He knew that he might have guessed right. He might have really entered some unknown dangerous place in the “Heavenly Demon Prairie.” Here, even the chaotic flow space could not be entered.

This was definitely not a normal space, or was the barrier here too thick for his cultivation to tear through?

Li Yan was silent for a while, then he chose a direction and flew straight again…

Ten days later, on a wilderness, a patch of dark brown low bushes suddenly twisted, and then a figure walked out from the distorted light.

Then, this figure quickly solidified. It was Li Yan in a black robe.

He flicked his large sleeve, and once again collected the Gu-insects and the “Mirror Flower” and “Mo Kai” formations into the sleeve of his left hand.

Then, with a slight shake of his arm, these things disappeared.

After doing these actions, Li Yan’s brow furrowed involuntarily. Without his Divine Sense, it felt like being blind. So many days had passed, and he was still not used to it.

He had temporarily stopped using his storage ring. Just to retrieve the things he had taken out, and also to conceal the “Earthen Patch,” he could only first roll the items he wanted to put into the storage space into his large sleeve, get close to the “Earthen Patch,” and let them enter by an inch, so as to minimize the consumption of his Divine Sense and put them all away at once.

Otherwise, he would have to be like a fool, walking step by step to the item he wanted to put away, raising his hand and getting close. But in that case, his Divine Sense would not be able to last until all the things were put away…

Moreover, if the item to be stored was not refined by him, or if the other party was not willing, Li Yan estimated that even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator resisted, his Divine Sense would almost be unable to support the maintenance of the passage.

As long as the enemy resisted a little, he might not be able to smoothly put them into the “Earthen Patch.”

Li Yan looked around. There were only some wild beasts standing in the distance, looking over from time to time.

Ten days ago, after he had flown for seven days in his concealed state, he had arrived here. At that time, he had explored the vicinity for a long time.

In the end, when his Divine Sense was almost exhausted again, the result he got was that apart from the spiritual energy here being a little denser than a few days ago, his Divine Sense was still trapped in his body.

To have his Divine Sense leave his body, the situation was still the same. With all his might, the maximum distance his Divine Sense could leave his body was still two inches.

Then, after several more days of meditation and recovery, his Divine Sense had only just returned to its original state today. He had quite a few pills that could help restore his Divine Sense, but they couldn’t withstand such rapid consumption.

Once they were used up, he could only rely on meditation to recover bit by bit, which would take even longer.

But now, the role of his Divine Sense was not very big. Li Yan still wanted to save those pills that could help restore his Divine Sense for use in emergencies.

So that at a critical moment, his Divine Sense could be replenished in time, and he could still take out the things in his storage space.

‘I still haven’t encountered any demonic beasts or cultivators. From now on, it’s better to use my Divine Sense less here. Otherwise, each recovery will take several days, and when I circulate my Magical Power here, I still can’t achieve a perfect and smooth circulation… After flying carefully for seven days, a distance of more than five hundred thousand li, apart from the spiritual energy being a little more, the other results are still the same. This most likely represents that the situation in this space is basically the same, with a suppressive effect on both Magical Power and Divine Sense, especially Divine Sense. However, this also shows one thing. If other cultivators or demonic beasts appear here, then they will also be unable to use their Divine Sense…’

Li Yan’s thoughts raced in his mind. He had also considered a lot these past few days, but he had slowly relaxed a little.

The suppression here was on everyone, so there would no longer be a situation where he was deaf and the other party had sharp ears and bright eyes.

He was still glad that his Divine Sense could at least leave his body. Although it was difficult, being able to communicate with his storage space was the greatest blessing.

Otherwise, if he couldn’t take out the Spirit Stones, pills, and formations he needed for meditation, he would really have nothing and be even more restricted everywhere.

After Li Yan had cleared his mind about the possible threat of enemies, he finally felt at ease.

Since everyone had to rely on their eyes to find each other, he was not afraid of the other party scanning him with their Divine Sense in advance.

However, for a period of time in the past, he would still try to release his Divine Sense from time to time, but it was just a casual act, so that when he reached a certain place, and his Divine Sense was no longer restricted, he would not be foolishly unaware.

“I still have to see what kind of ghostly place I have entered!”

Li Yan once again looked up at the sky, his heart filled with doubt.

This time he did not hide his figure, but flew directly into the air. It was just that this time he only rose to about a hundred zhang before he stopped.

After he had stopped, he slowly raised a hand.

In the next moment, a pitch-black water droplet appeared in his palm. It was the heavy water droplet condensed from the “Nine Cauldrons Gui Water.”

Li Yan immediately clenched his fist. The green veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his arm also slowly lifted, as if lifting a sacred mountain.

“Crack… crack… crack…”

A series of muffled sounds came from the joints of his body, like popping beans.

“Heh!”

As Li Yan exhaled, he punched at the empty space in front of him.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, the sky where Li Yan stood shook violently a few times.

Instantly, countless birds were startled and flew towards the distant horizon with flapping wings.

Some of the wild beasts on the ground below also sensed the ground shaking under them. In their terror, they instinctively drilled into the grass or forest…
