Then, two dazzling rainbows rose into the sky from the woods and flew in circles for a while.

Gradually, a situation of echoing each other was formed, and then the silver light disappeared into the distance.

When Chen Yun and fellow Taoist Zi Ling were trying their best to catch up with Elder Zhong and others.

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect and a group of masters including Wei Wuya have already climbed over the towering mountain peak and appeared in a vast basin.

The basin is gloomy and damp, with puddles of varying sizes scattered across the ground, causing great distress to those who have to traverse it on foot.

Although they could cast some minor spells to keep the silt and sewage out, doing so would undoubtedly greatly reduce their progress.

However, this time, neither Wang Tiangu nor Wei Wuya complained about anything.

Before this, when they climbed to the top of the giant mountain and looked down from above, they had already discovered that there was a huge sacrificial altar standing in the center of the basin.

This altar is made of pure white rocks and is shaped like a giant ladder with steps on all four sides.

The overall height reaches the sky, hundreds of feet high, which makes people feel awe.

Although due to the long distance and high height, it is impossible to see clearly what items are placed on the top.

"We are finally almost at our destination. Judging from the current progress, we should be able to arrive there in about an hour or two."

"Master Wang, I am increasingly curious about how you found out about Lingmiao Garden."

Wei Wuya walked slowly forward, a faint green glow emanating from his body. With every step he took, he was able to slide several feet away silently, appearing calm and confident.

"Brother Wei, rest assured. When the matter is accomplished, I will explain the whole story to you all in detail."

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect said with a smile, his expression seemingly indifferent.

Wei Wuya nodded slightly and was about to continue asking questions when suddenly a dazzling light burst out from the body of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciple walking in front of the team.

Then the body began to shake violently, and then was silently divided into two parts from the shoulders to the waist, and the corpse fell silently to the ground.

"Space crack!" Upon seeing this horrifying scene, the Ghost Spirit Sect's leader's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

Wei Wuya and Wang Tiangu who followed behind him also instantly became extremely solemn.

Although they did not know what kind of conspiracy the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect had planned, as they followed the path he guided into the valley, they had never encountered such an invisible space crack before.

The worries that had been hanging in the air gradually eased, but at this moment a space crack suddenly appeared, causing the two monks to tremble in their hearts.

The other three Ghost Spirit Sect disciples also looked pale and terrified.

Everyone stopped and dared not move forward.

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect stared at the corpse that was tragically cut by the cracks, his face changing from gloomy to happy, while Wei Wuya closed his eyes.

He seemed to be using his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment, but after a moment he opened his eyes again.

"No, relying solely on spiritual power cannot predict the existence of space cracks. We cannot foresee this predicament."

Wei Wuya shook his head expressionlessly and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tiangu raised his right hand, and five blazing fireballs shot out from his fingertips forward.

After a few "bang" sounds, three of the fireballs disappeared in an instant.

The remaining two flew several feet away from both ends, hit the ground and exploded, revealing two bottomless pits.

"Fortunately, this crack is still small. If we can adjust our steps slightly, we can avoid its sharp edge."

Wang Tiangu said in a slightly more relaxed tone.

"Although this crack is small, who can guarantee that more cracks will not appear on the way? We don't have enough lives to fill these gaps."

"Besides, as far as I know, there shouldn't be any space cracks blocking our way forward. Could it be that the old friend is hiding something?"

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect did not show any joy, but murmured in a low voice with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Wei Wuya's expression changed suddenly, but he did not ask.

Instead, Wang Tiangu looked up at the mysterious altar in the distance, while examining the corpse lying on the ground, his confusion evident on his face.

"So what do you mean, Master?"

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect frowned and did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked up at the sky. After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"I originally planned to reveal some secrets to you after we arrived at the altar, but now it seems that I can no longer hide it, so I have to reveal some truths here."

He said with a puzzled look on his face.

When Wei Wuya and others heard this, they were all stunned and looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect didn't care about it at all. He waved his sleeves, a silver light flashed, and an ancient scroll appeared in his hand.

This scroll is several feet long, shining with silver light, and looks ancient and mysterious.

"This is..." Wang Tiangu was so surprised when he saw the scroll that he almost cried out.

"Haha! It seems that you have recognized this object. This scroll was handed over to me by you personally. All the secrets about Lingmiao Garden were obtained from this scroll."

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect looked at Wang Tiangu and said lightly.

After hearing this, Wang Tiangu stood there in shock, completely in shock.

However, the elder master of the Ghost Spirit Sect threw the scroll in his hand upwards without hesitation, and it was wrapped in a mysterious energy, causing the originally motionless scroll to float in the air.

Then, with a stern expression, he pinched out a complex symbol shape and guided his fingers to gently tap on the scroll.

With a slight "click" sound, the scroll popped open instantly, revealing the mystery hidden within.

In the picture, the figure of a Confucian scholar holding a long sword and looking up to the sky appears clearly on the paper.

Everyone, including Wang Tiangu, opened their eyes wide and stared closely at the figures in the painting, trying to find any clues from them, but the result was in vain and they gained nothing.

Only Wei Wuya, after taking a deep look at the picture, quickly scanned the entire scroll with his spiritual sense, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Wei is indeed worthy of being a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. He was able to see through the mystery so quickly."

"I was able to detect the abnormality of this scroll, thanks to a special secret technique I practiced."

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect guessed secretly in his mind, and then began to praise.

"It's nothing special. I haven't seen a magical instrument with the properties of a mustard seed space for a long time. If you hadn't told me in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to detect it easily."

Wei Wuya replied with a puzzled look on his face.

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect smiled slightly and did not ask any further questions.

Then, he raised his right hand, and a black spell shot out from the air, striking the opened scroll accurately. At the same time, he sneered and said to the scroll:

"Since you have agreed to the agreement, why do you want to break your oath? Are you trying to break the contract?" Upon hearing this, the other people present were shocked and even confused.

Wei Wuya also raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

At this moment, a jaw-dropping scene happened.

"Didn't we already agree that you can't wake me up before we reach the designated location?"

"You are forcing me to reveal myself in public, are you planning to give up this deal?"

A magnetic male voice came from the scroll.

"If you allow me, how should I address you? Are you the Master Cangkun mentioned in the ancient legend?"

"But what is astonishing is how you have been able to maintain your immortal soul and still be alive today?"

Wang Tiangu's voice was a little dry, and there was a hint of shock in his words.

"I was away from the scroll for a short time. If you have any other questions, you can ask your sect's leader later. Right now, we still need to explore the space crack, so I will answer you later."

The Confucian scholar's tone seemed very calm, and he did not take Wang Tiangu's shock to heart.

He stared in the direction of the space crack, his brows furrowed quietly, then he slightly opened his red lips, and a gray light instantly came out of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" and the ball of light disappeared silently in the space crack.

The scholar's expression changed rapidly, revealing a very strange look.

"This is truly a strange thing! There was no such invisible crack here before. According to my guess, this should be one of the rare new cracks."

"Don't worry too much about this, fellow Taoists. It's just a special coincidence. Goodbye."

The scholar was surprised at first, then he pondered for a moment, and finally regained his composure.

Then a "puff" sound was heard, and his figure gradually became blurred, and turned into a ball of green light and floated into the scroll, as if he didn't want to stay here for too long.

It flashed in the Confucian scholar's body for a few seconds and then disappeared again. Wang and others were shocked and looked strange.

Wei Wuya thought deeply and asked:

"Master Wang, was this man really once Master Cang Kun? However, his remaining spirit poses no threat now. Was it really he who revealed the matter of Ling Miao Garden?"

"Strictly speaking, although this figure comes from Master Cang Kun's body, it is not that person. The information about Ling Miao Garden is indeed from this."

When the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect learned that the gap was recently created, his expression became slightly relieved and he responded to Wei Wuya's questions.

"What do you mean? You don't need to be mysterious anymore."

Wei Wuya's face was slightly tense, revealing his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Wei, you have misunderstood. The spirit of the scroll you saw earlier is actually the remnant of Master Cang Kun's former incarnation."

"This clone was severely damaged by the ban while investigating the Fallen Demon Valley, so it was placed in a scroll made of the dust of the Soul-Nourishing Wood to recover. Now that Master Cangkun has been dead for many years, the remaining soul can act on its own, so it is not wrong to call it another outsider."

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master gave a detailed explanation.

Wei Wuya was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Wang Tiangu sighed softly, feeling bitter. Perhaps he was upset because he failed to discover the secret of the scroll or because he had misjudged it again.

"I see. I guess I must have made some kind of promise with the remnant soul to know about Ling Miao Garden. It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with me."

"As long as I am allowed to enter Lingmiao Garden, I will not interfere with any agreement. I only want to enter the Spiritual Transformation Stage and go to the Spirit World."

Wei Wuya nodded, his tone cold.

"Brother Wei, you have a good idea. This is very good. Everyone, the space rift was formed by accident. Let's set off to the altar!"

The Ghost Spirit Sect leader gave the order with a smile.

A pale-faced disciple stepped forward to lead the way. He silently crossed the gap and led the team forward.

Wei Wuya walked forward steadily, and the others followed.

They moved towards the large, clearly recognizable altar.

……

"Why on earth? It seems like the flying squirrel is out of control."

Chen Yun stood on the frost-covered glacier, looked up at the red glow that had reappeared in the sky, and asked Zi Ling beside him with a gloomy face.

Not far behind him, a huge ice crevice more than 20 feet wide caught people's attention. It was through this crevice that Chen Yun had just sneaked into the inner valley.

The surroundings were covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind was howling.

Chen Yun, however, stood there in a thin blue shirt, as if he didn't care at all about the severe cold.

"Unknown. Flying Squirrel was in good condition outside, but he became agitated after emerging from the rift."

“Fortunately, I subdued it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Although it is now in the spirit beast bag, it is still in a crazy state.”

Zi Ling responded with a frown, equally confused.

Chen Yun thought for a moment, then casually slapped the storage bag. A stream of tiny golden bugs gushed out of the bag, forming a cloud of insects that hung motionless above.

Under the control of spiritual consciousness, the group of insects quickly returned to the spirit beast bag and could be controlled with ease.

Chen Yun stroked his chin with his eyes flickering, and then he slapped another spirit beast bag. A black light flew out, circling and landing on the ground. It turned out to be a black monkey only a few inches in size - the Soul-Crying Beast.

The beast looked at Chen Yun, yawning, squinting, and looked confused, as if it had just woken up. After a while, Chen Yun waved his sleeves calmly, and a blue cloud rose up and disappeared in an instant. He said to Zi Ling:
"Flying Squirrel has an accident. Now we can only rely on ourselves to find the people from the Ghost Spirit Sect. Fortunately, we have entered the inner valley and are not far away from them. I will use my magic to explore and may be able to capture their traces. Please help to protect them."

There was nothing unusual happening with the gold-eating bugs and the soul-crying beasts in the inner valley, which made him feel a little relieved.

The two are special alien insects and mutated ferocious beasts, which are completely different from regular spirit beasts.

However, Chen Yun did not know that the oriole prepared by Nanlong Hou and the spiritual birds borrowed by Master Mulan could also remain stable in this valley.

The reason involves the secret of Neigu.

Zi Ling said helplessly:
"It all depends on Brother Chen's magical power."

Chen Yun nodded, sat in meditation and adjusted his breathing. His whole body was filled with spiritual light and was shrouded in a green glow, making him look extraordinary and graceful.

Zi Ling waited silently, staring at Chen Yun's face, with mixed emotions in her heart.

The relationship between the two seems to be friends, but it is not.

She had seen the admiration for her beauty in Chen Yun's eyes, and she was secretly delighted.

However, they were not close friends. Despite going through life and death trials, Chen Yun never opened his heart to her, but instead deliberately kept his distance. (End of this chapter)
