That was indeed a 'slab'.
This 'slab' is the true form of the intangible demonic creature from earlier.
At this moment, Bai Liying's gaze was also fixed on this purple 'slab', a bit of astonishment in her eyes. She noticed that a strong malevolent intent emanated from the 'slab', seemingly able to easily stir the malevolent thoughts deep within her soul.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Zhang Jian glanced at it, a starlight emerging from the depths of his palm to seal it.
"This is an Outer Marvel, the Celestial Demon Stone, the true form of the Demonic Primordial Spirit powerhouse from earlier. This fiend relied on this item to absorb malevolent thoughts from living beings here, thus evading the inspection of other Immortal Sect Dao Lineage cultivators!"
At this moment, Zhang Jian smiled slightly at Bai Liying.
"Let's go, let's capture its true form. Since it possesses the Celestial Demon Stone, it must have made deals with Outer Demon Gods and is likely the main culprit behind opening the Outer Demon Gate this time!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Jian enveloped Bai Liying with a divine light, and their figures transformed into a stream of light, disappearing from the spot.
Simultaneously, an invisible azure light instantly swept through the entire Guangyuan Mountain, centered around this valley.
The Cyan Lotus Soul Purifying Divine Light circulated, and in an instant, many cultivators within Guangyuan Mountain found a cyan lotus sprouting in their hearts. The intangible demonic thoughts within them were purified instantly, returning to their true nature in a flash.
Recalling their past actions at this moment felt like a dream of ethereal blue moments.
...
On the outskirts of New Pass City.
Outside the city, fertile lands stretched for miles, with hundreds of acres of good farmland. In the mid-autumn season, the scorching sun and drought persisted.
Yet halfway up the mountain, the Qingxu Daoist Temple was bustling with incense offerings.
People came in an endless stream to pray to gods and worship Buddha.
Rumor has it that the Celestial Venerable Qingxu enshrined in Qingxu Temple is exceptionally efficacious, fulfilling all wishes.
Moreover, the temple priest Yunxian Daoist's divine techniques were renowned far and wide.
At this moment, within Qingxu Daoist Temple.
The temple priest Yunxian Daoist wore a steely expression. As he opened his eyes, a feeling of intense tearing arose from deep within his primordial spirit.
Bearing this immense pain, Yunxian Daoist hurriedly entered the main hall and immediately lit incense and prayed.
Inside the grand and solemn temple.
Wisps of incense smoke rose straight to the sky, divine light circulating above the magnificent golden body, revealing faint spiritual lights.
As divine light flowed above the golden body, a vast divine sense descended faintly.
A magnificent and grand aura enveloped the space.
The divine might was as deep and daunting as an abyss.
Seeing this divine shadow descend, Yunxian Daoist maintained a solemn expression, bowing slightly in accordance with ancient etiquette before speaking gravely.
"Celestial Venerable, we have been exposed. The Outer Divine Stone avatar bestowed by you earlier has been discovered, and soon after, this disciple's Divine Stone avatar lost connection!"
Amidst the divine light, a grand divine shadow, enveloped in divine light, radiated waves of vast divine sense.
"Oh, was it the people from Tongshan Dao Lineage?"
Yunxian Daoist displayed a look of pain, lowering his head and speaking softly.
"This disciple does not know, but the Golden Body Level Primordial Spirit avatar could not hold on for more than a few breaths. I fear the one who came is extraordinary!"
The grand divine shadow revealed a slight look of surprise in his eyes.
After a moment, his expression shifted as he subtly calculated with his fingers. A moment later, he solemnly said.
"You have indeed been exposed. Leave with me now; that person is beyond what you can withstand!"
"Celestial Venerable, what about the Outer Demon Gate here? We have spent much effort and treasures for that Outer Demon Gate; abandoning it now seems too much a sacrifice!"
Yunxian Daoist's eyes revealed faint demonic light, and his heart harbored reluctance.
The grand figure chuckled lightly.
"If we lose treasures, we continue to search. If the Outer Demon Gate is gone, we can build another. Don't worry; if not here, we have other opportunities!"
As his words concluded, his magic was also ready. With a surge of intense divine light, he enveloped Yunxian Daoist, tearing through the void and vanishing in an instant.
At almost the same moment, a strange blue-red light pierced through the void from its depths, striking straight into the firmament.
"Can you escape?"
From the depths of the void, a cold voice echoed, accompanied by an incredibly intense coldness, like a torrent flowing along the trajectory of the fleeing energy in the void.
Like an eagle soaring through the sky.
In the depths of the void, the Divine Light in flight saw this scene and his expression changed.
His Void Teleportation has a renowned reputation even within Heaven and Earth, known for its extreme speed.
Yet the opponent was even faster than him.
That icy blue divine light seemed to slice through the void, traversing thousands of miles in an instant.
"Bold!"
Within the cold voice, magnificent and ethereal divine light coalesced into divine forms, as if endless deities were looking down around him, with myriad Cyan Nether energies swirling. As he lifted a finger, it seemed as if countless torrents were born from the deep void, collapsing the firmament and imprisoning Qiankun Heaven and Earth.
The two Divine Lights collided, surprisingly locked in a stalemate in the depths of the void, indistinguishable.
With the Taiyin Rainbow Light, Zhang Jian drove the Taiyin Rainbow Light Technique extremely fast, amazed to see that his Tier One Immortal Technique, Instant Freeze Yuan Technique, was actually being annihilated by the grand divine light of the firmament.
"It's actually a Second-Grade God!"
Zhang Jian's eyes showed subtlety as he noticed that it was an Incense Fire God, with an exceptionally intense divine light surrounding its body, and an exclusive grandeur of the Divine Dao, with an eternal artistic conception.
However, Zhang Jian had never seen a god with such vast divine power.
The Incense Fire Divine Power condensing the Incense Fire Golden Light carried an intense Great Dao Law charm, as if born from the Qiankun Firmament, possessing the power to imprison and refine the firmament.
"It should not be a Second-Grade God from the Sheji Divine Dao, likely a Wild God or Desolate God born in the Two Realms Region, judging by its divine light and aura, it's not a Star God Body, but rather a Celestial God Body, truly strange!"
Secretly pondering in his heart, the more so, the more Zhang Jian's mind surged with intense battle intent.
No matter what, today he must find a way to leave the opponent here.
With a thought the Taiyin Divine Fire Treasure Wheel revolved from the depths of the Taiyin Divine Light behind him, instantly forming an icy blue magic diagram in the void, transforming into a magnificent torrent sweeping across the void.
In this moment, between Heaven and Earth, blizzards flew violently, with the cold chill like a waterfall transforming into meteors charging towards the 'Celestial Venerable Qingxu'.
That was the Tier Two Immortal Technique Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Light.
With the augmentation of a Tier Two Immortal Treasure, the Tier Two Immortal Technique was like an ice disaster covering the firmament of the void, freezing Heaven and Earth.
At the same time, the Tier One Immortal Technique 'Celestial Essence Strike' of 'Celestial Venerable Qingxu' coalesced, and at this moment, immeasurable Power of Faith collapsed behind him, transforming into an intense golden light that charged towards the void.
The golden and blue forces interwove, like torrents clashing.
In a flash, it triggered an earth-shattering collision.
But in the next moment, 'Celestial Venerable Qingxu' grunted, and from the depths of his brow strands of frost emerged, with a flash of shock in his eyes, his form transformed into an invisible stream of light swiftly fleeing in the void storm.
He simultaneously noticed the countless icy blue flames weaving into the Immortal Light behind Zhang Jian, clearly a treasure above Tier Two.
Even with his Second-Grade God status, equivalent to a True Immortal, facing such a fierce one holding a Tier Two Immortal Treasure, he can only avoid the edge.
At this moment, seeing the opponent fleeing, Zhang Jian's eyes gleamed with a cold light, as the Tier Two Immortal Technique Taiyin Rainbow Light Technique erupted around him, like an icy blue divine light tearing through the firmament, rapidly approaching.
The speed of his Tier Two Immortal Technique Taiyin Rainbow Light Technique clearly surpassed the Dharma Gate of tearing through the void of this Second-Grade God.
At this rate, it wouldn't take long for him to catch up with the opponent.
At this moment, Zhang Jian's thoughts turned, and simultaneously, a peculiar cold gleam once again emerged in his hand, as the Immortal Light flowed.
In his hand, the Taiyin Ice Soul Bow appeared, preparing to deliver a vicious strike to the opponent.
With the power of a Tier Three Immortal Treasure Taiyin Ice Soul Bow, he believed that with a single strike, this Second-Grade God would fall.
But at this moment, Zhang Jian suddenly sensed a change, and saw countless waves twisting in the depths of the void, a grand divine light appeared out of nowhere, lightning flashing within the divine light, with an aura of great destruction filling the void.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian's expression changed, and in an instant, he stimulated another Tier Two Immortal Technique within him.
Taiyin Sacred Lotus.
Countless icy blue lights emerged from his body, and at this moment he seemed to transform into an incomparably hard Taiyin Bright Moon, while at the same time, that countless terrifying blood-red lightning exploded like doomsday, the violent lightning swept across tens of thousands of miles of void, obliterating everything into dust.
'
