Chapter 1540: Forging Ahead

Li Yan also nodded at Great Master Lan’s words. They all understood what she meant; only the three of them were most clear about the situation here.

While breaking through this mountain cave, they had fused pieces of chaotic power into pure power, and then led them away one by one.

This method was like a mountain cave filled with mud and sand, which they had hollowed out bit by bit.

But in the process of hollowing it out, the emptied places would soon be filled again by the chaotic power appearing from all around and behind.

It was just that the three of them were very fast, so overall, the speed of hollowing out was about sixty to seventy percent faster than the speed at which the chaotic power filled in.

Under these circumstances, they were able to continuously advance and break through to this point.

But now, the situation ahead not only had a stretch of strange and inexplicable silver desert, but at the end of one direction, there were also continuous mountain ranges and canyons, where the chaotic power had multiplied.

With more than twice the chaotic power, Great Master Lan could estimate that with Li Yan’s current cultivation, his fusion speed would still be barely enough to break through, but it would make their speed very slow.

But fortunately, there was still hope of breaking through. It was just that this chaotic power kept appearing. It was now known that there were two places, both separated by Perilous Lands that even Body Integration Realm cultivators were extremely wary of.

Then, behind the canyon, would there be even more dangers and unknowns? The answer was that in a Perilous Land, this possibility was actually the greatest.

If a chaotic power three times as strong appeared again, with Li Yan’s current cultivation, even if his main body appeared, the speed at which they could fuse the chaotic power would not be able to keep up with the speed at which it filled in.

Perhaps only after Li Yan’s cultivation reached the Void Refining Realm could they try again. But if after breaking through that canyon, an even stronger chaotic power appeared behind?

They could probably only take one step at a time. But to achieve their goal, no one knew how many years they would have to wait.

Li Yan himself was not sure how long it would take for him to cultivate to the Void Refining Realm.

“No, after breaking through that canyon, we should be able to get out!”

But at this moment, Elder Hao suddenly said such a sentence. While the hearts of the two jumped, they were also filled with confusion…

A few dozen breaths later, Elder Hao protected the two of them and brought them out of the mountain cave. After just letting them see the scene before them, he put them into the Void Shadow.

After leaving that mountain cave, Li Yan and the other discovered that behind them was a high mountain that blocked the sky, while the other three directions were unobstructed.

Even with Elder Hao’s protection, even though Li Yan was just an avatar without a Nascent Soul, he could feel that his body, which was composed of Essence Blood, would probably not be able to survive for even a single breath under the reflection of that large patch of silver light.

He would turn into a drop of silver water and fall.

Therefore, Elder Hao only let the two of them get a rough idea of the situation and would not give them a chance to come into contact with the silver desert. And as for Li Yan, he did not dare to come into contact with the silver desert either.

Speaking of silver sand, he also had a kind of silver sand in his hand, which he had exchanged from Donglin Tingyue. But in a hurry, he did not sense the kind of feeling that had once appeared from this endless silver sand before him.

And at this time, even if he felt that the silver sand was extraordinary, it was something that could pose a fatal threat to a Body Integration cultivator. He did not want to seek death by studying it!

Moreover, Elder Hao’s side would not let the two of them come into contact with the silver desert, only letting them know the scene outside the mountain cave.

Then Elder Hao waved his hand and took the two of them. With the full power of a Body Integration Realm old monster, at a speed that Li Yan could hardly imagine, he quickly disappeared into the sky above the silver desert.

Inside the Void Shadow, Li Yan was also extremely anxious. He didn’t know how far the other could fly in a single breath, but time was constantly passing in his calculations.

Just like that, Li Yan and the other stayed in the spirit-storing space for more than a hundred breaths before Elder Hao finally took them out again. At this time, they had already reached the other end of the silver desert.

When Li Yan and the other appeared, they were already floating in front of a mountain body, and they were at a very high position, so they could see further.

After the two of them looked around, they seemed to truly understand the meaning of the other’s previous words.

Behind them was still the endless silver desert, and the silver light in the desert was like a silver screen that blotted out the sky and sun.

And the left and right sides of the silver desert were also endless, with no end in sight. And the mountain cave from before had long since disappeared behind them.

Li Yan didn’t know how wide this silver desert was. Even a Body Integration Realm old monster had to risk his life and spend so long to reach the other end.

And in front of them was another mountain range that stretched across the world. He discovered that these mountain ranges joined with the sky above, blocking all paths forward.

When they looked from a high altitude, they discovered that the mountain range in front was like a jagged set of teeth. But at their feet, there was a canyon between two mountains.

And that canyon, when viewed from a high altitude, was like the gap between two huge teeth.

At this, both Li Yan and Great Master Lan’s hearts shook. They seemed to have seen a picture at the same time. The mountain range that stretched out in front was like a row of huge “teeth” that rose and fell horizontally.

And the canyon at their feet was a gap between a row of teeth below.

It was just that the horizontal range of each of these mountains shaped like teeth was too wide. From their position, Li Yan and the others could not see where the gaps between the other two mountain peaks were.

“I roughly explored it before. In the left and right directions, at a distance of about ten to fifty thousand li, there will also be a canyon like this one.”

“But the gap I saw there was bigger. I didn’t explore any further, but I assume it’s the same.”

“So, I think we can get out by directly breaking through the canyon in front of us. This shows that the old Sect Master’s judgment back then was correct!”

After seeing the landform here, Elder Hao recalled the records left by the old Sect Master, which he had explored at the risk of his life.

Seeing everything now, he could be certain that the mountain cave they had passed through before was indeed the throat.

And the silver desert just now should be the tongue area in the mouth. And when they got here, it was already the teeth of the Dream Return Ant.

Moreover, this was a position directly opposite the throat. This meant that as long as they broke through here, what was behind should be the exit of the mouth.

If they broke through from the gaps of the other teeth on the sides, it would likely be a waste of effort, and they would end up near the cheeks of the Dream Return Ant.

Of course, in Elder Hao’s view, besides the canyon in front of them, the canyons tens of thousands of li to the sides might all lead out of the mouth.

But the most certain place was, of course, the direction directly opposite the throat. There was definitely no problem here.

Half a tea’s time later, Li Yan stood on the ground and looked up at the canyon in front of him. This was much larger than that mountain cave. Who knew how long it would take for them to break through here.

“Senior Hao, let’s begin!”

Since a decision had been made, and they had come all this way, there was no other choice but to continue to break through. There was nothing more to hesitate about!

Just as the three of them began to cast spells again, outside the mountain crevice where Li Yan had once rescued the two Supreme Elders, Elder Tang San was extremely anxious.

The appointed time with Li Yan had long passed, but no matter how he cast spells to sense it, he could no longer sense Li Yan releasing the Power of the Cold Moon.

“I hope nothing happened. But with the Second Elder’s caution, even when trying to break through that place, he would have protected Li Yan first. Could it be…”

Elder Tang San had been thinking about various possibilities. A few days ago, he had suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart had jumped at the time.

He felt that perhaps the formation constructed by Great Master Lan had made a major mistake and had swept all three of them into the mountain cave.

If that situation occurred, it would be difficult for the Second Elder himself to survive. Elder Tang knew that he could not resist those chaotic powers for too long, let alone protect those two.

If that were the case, it was highly likely that all three of them would have perished directly inside.

Once that situation occurred, the Soul-Suppression Palace would have suffered extremely heavy losses. That was the fall of a supreme expert of the Body Integration Realm.

And there was also a uniquely talented grandmaster of formations. In the future, it would be almost impossible to explore this place again.

Who knew how many endless years it would take for the next Body Integration Realm cultivator to appear? It was extremely difficult for a Void Refining Realm cultivator to step into the Body Integration Realm.

If it were possible, a cultivator like Xue Tieyi, who was half a step into the Body Integration Realm, would have succeeded long ago.

He wouldn’t have been stuck there all along. Even though he had entered the treasured land many times, especially when the two of them had been unable to come out, he had been even more determined to complete the breakthrough.

But after gathering all the resources in the sect, Xue Tieyi ultimately failed to advance and was still bitterly waiting for that sliver of opportunity.

And in the future, how could it be easy for people like Great Master Lan and Li Yan to appear? The combination of these three was indispensable.

Elder Tang San just kept trying to sense. The days passed one by one, and soon, four months had passed. He was already burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.

Elder Tang San felt that if he couldn’t sense anything for another two months, he had to notify Xue Tieyi…

Inside a canyon, three figures were slowly advancing. It was Li Yan and the others. Because the space here was much wider than the previous mountain cave…

…and the chaotic power had multiplied, in the past four months, the three of them had been “gnawing” their way forward bit by bit.

Fortunately, they were all strong. And the height of the canyon here was not despairingly high. With the three of them releasing their magical power, they didn’t need to fly up and down and toss about. They were also slowly breaking through here.

In breaking through this place, Elder Hao’s role became more and more obvious!

Li Yan and Great Master Lan cooperated ceaselessly to fuse and pull away. Elder Hao basically no longer went to pull away those pure powers that had been formed. Li Yan’s fusion speed here was also sufficient with Great Master Lan’s cooperation.

He, on the other hand, continuously cast high-power arts to help Li Yan stabilize the cleared area, and at the same time, prevent the spread of those chaotic powers, buying Li Yan enough time.

He was also anxious in his heart, because the Soaring Spirit Pills on his body were constantly being consumed. They had to be supplied to both Li Yan and himself at the same time, and now there were not many left.

Fortunately, Great Master Lan also had good medicinal pills on her, and in order to enter the throat and break through the passage in one go, the number prepared was abnormally abundant.

So the two of them continuously mixed Great Master Lan’s medicinal pills with the Soaring Spirit Pills and had persisted until now.

But here, the three of them could hardly rest. Otherwise, those chaotic powers would grow and would not wait for anyone. In this way, the consumption rate of the medicinal pills was very amazing.

If they did not succeed this time, then they would have worked hard for these few months for nothing. They could only return to the sect and prepare more medicinal pills to supplement their magical power.

But fortunately, the throat area had been completely cleared and would not regenerate. This was already a pleasant surprise.

But they had already broken through to the inside of the teeth. How could they be willing to give up?

For the past few months, the three of them had hardly spoken a word, just constantly casting spells and forming hand seals. Suddenly, Great Master Lan let out a cry of surprise.

“This is… we’re about to break through!”

The moment Great Master Lan pulled out a piece of pure power, she once again sensed a familiar scene. The chaotic power behind was no longer overlapping.

The orderly situation appeared again. Following her cry of surprise, the other two also had a feeling in an instant, and they were also jolted…

Eight days later, the silent Li Yan suddenly cried out.

“That place… that place is the outside world, the outside world!”

Li Yan’s voice had a rare hoarseness.

Just after Great Master Lan pulled out another piece of pure power, in an instant, Li Yan’s Divine Sense was no longer suppressed in any way and rushed directly out of his sea of consciousness.

Li Yan felt as if he had suddenly appeared in a free and unrestrained world. It was a long-lost feeling of comfort.

But after shouting, he still quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart, because he had to complete the clearing of all the remaining chaotic power in this canyon.

This was what the three of them had discussed before. Even if they broke through, they had to stabilize their minds and completely clear this place. They did not want their forgetfulness to cause the remaining root power to fill the entire canyon again.

Even if the three of them went out, they would not have enough medicinal pills to support breaking through on their way back.

Just as Li Yan sensed something strange with his Divine Sense, the other two also had a strange feeling!

But seeing that Li Yan only cried out in surprise and did not stop, but continued to clear the area, they finally relaxed.

Otherwise, if Li Yan flew away at this time, they could only follow him and leave here.

Then the final result would be that the two of them would come out, but they might be forever separated from the Soul-Suppression Palace. Even if the people inside passed through the throat, they still would not be able to come out in the end.

The cultivation method that Li Yan practiced was too strange.

These two were also supreme experts of the Immortal Spirit Realm. Even though they were in the “Earth-True Domain,” their comprehension of the laws had already reached that level.

Especially Elder Hao, as a Body Integration Realm soul cultivator, there were really not many Body Integration Realm cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Realm who could defeat him. The special law cultivation of a soul cultivator, his combat power was so strong that it was outrageous.

But they still could not comprehend that strange cultivation method of Li Yan.

After another half a day, three figures shot out from the side of the canyon!

Li Yan suppressed the incomparable excitement in his heart. After flying out of the canyon, he immediately looked around. In fact, he already knew the situation outside, but he still could not suppress that excitement.

His Divine Sense had already taken the opportunity to explore the outside half a day ago.

This was a vast and endless forest. The canyon they flew out of stretched out in a line, like a giant python, lying in the endless forest.

The dense forest, with its endless giant tree canopies, was like a vast, boundless ocean, almost completely concealing the line of mountains below.

In addition, the mountain body of this line of mountains was also covered with various large and small trees. From a high altitude, it was difficult to distinguish between the mountain range and the forest.

Li Yan’s figure flashed, and he was already in the air. He took a deep breath, his mind surging like a mountain roar and a sea roar, and he could no longer maintain his calm.

The spiritual energy here was also not bad. This was not much different from many places in the Heavenly Demon Prairie in Li Yan’s memory.

As soon as he rose into the air, he hurriedly used his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings again.

At this time, it was dusk. In Li Yan’s Divine Sense, some living beings had already appeared, but they were actually some wild beasts.

Li Yan did not find any demonic beasts within ten thousand li.

At the same time, two figures had already appeared beside Li Yan. These two were also exploring the surroundings.

It was just that their long-term habit was still to release more soul power instinctively, no matter when and where they were.

At the same time, the Divine Sense that had been cultivated in their sea of consciousness was also subconsciously released due to the influence of the laws of this world…
