When she learned from the woman surnamed Song from Luoyun Sect that Chen Yun already had Nangong Wan as his dual cultivation partner, she felt filled with loss, as if she had lost something precious.

Staring at Chen Yun's face in the green light, Zi Ling fell into deep thought.

Chen Yun, who was concentrating on meditation, was unaware of Zi Ling's deep inner worries.

However, he had already tried his best, using his unparalleled spiritual perception to quickly search the situation within a hundred miles around him, trying to find out whether there were any traces of the Ghost Spirit Sect practitioners.

However, after a brief exploration and search, nothing unusual was found.

Chen Yun frowned slightly, unwilling to compromise easily, so he further expanded the range of his soul's perception until it covered a huge area with a radius of nearly two hundred miles.

Despite expending a great deal of energy, no trace of other practitioners was found.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yun decided to take action.

He quietly pulled out the spirit beast bag from his waist that contained the elite troops of gold-eating bugs, then formed seals with his hands, driving thousands of gold-eating bugs to break out of the bag, forming a dazzling golden cloud of bugs.

"set off!"

Chen Yun opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand and exerted his strength, and a stream of pure green magic power shot out onto the cloud of insects.

The insects made low chirping sounds, then dispersed into countless golden flowers and floated away in all directions.

Chen Yun closed his eyes again, and the spiritual energy on his body was even more dazzling at this time.

Zi Ling witnessed everything with an expression of great surprise. She didn't understand what kind of miraculous power Chen Yun was going to display.

At this time, Chen Yun had already brought the Dayan Jue to its peak state.

He actually split his original spirit into thousands of independent spirits.

Except for a few clones that remained on the body for protection, the other clones rushed towards the place where the gold-eating bugs escaped, temporarily stayed on their bodies, flapped their wings and flew high to scatter everywhere.

Through the perspective of the gold-eating bugs, they no longer need to look for the breath of other monks, they only need to search one by one according to the next possible mark.

Of course, during the search process, it is inevitable to encounter space cracks, causing swallowing or being trapped in restrictions and unable to escape.

However, Chen Yun's clone is an invisible thing and a parasitic body. Once he finds that something is wrong, he will immediately abandon the parasitic gold-eating insects and return the clone to the main body.

Even so, more than a dozen spirits failed to escape in time and were trapped or even destroyed.

Faced with such situations, Chen Yun did not hesitate to cut off contact with these spirits so as not to affect the normal operation of other spirits.

However, every time he gave up a distraction, Chen Yun's face turned paler.

Fortunately for him, his original spirit was extremely powerful, and the damage done to his soul was far from damaging his foundation, so he recovered in just a moment.

With the help of a large-scale coordinated search involving tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs, after a long time, Chen Yun finally captured the key clues and found the whereabouts of the Ghost Spirit Sect practitioners.

He immediately sent instructions to all his distractions, asking thousands of gold-eating insects to turn around and fly towards him.

Only after the last gold-eating bug returned to the bug bag did Chen Yun slowly open his eyes with a cruel smile on his face.

"Action! We have already grasped their whereabouts."

After saying this, Chen Yun immediately jumped up and turned into a dazzling blue light and rushed straight into the sky. Seeing this, Zi Ling also excitedly turned into an amazing purple light and followed closely behind.

Not long after, Chen Yun and Zi Ling unexpectedly landed above a pile of rocks.

Chen Yun stared at the empty deep pit below, which looked like a newly dug pit, with a complicated expression on his face.

"This may be the location of the next unknown coordinate."

"Based on this speculation, if my deduction is correct, then there are only two places left to collect all five Spirit Candle Fruits."

"The next destination is very easy to identify. It is a godsend for us to chase after the Ghost Spirit Sect at full speed."

Chen Yun spoke calmly and waved his hand. Strands of white light emerged from his sleeves and landed steadily about three feet in front of him. It was the magical wind-controlling boat.

"Hurry up and get on this boat! Next we must speed up and track them down!"

"Your current speed is too slow. Only by increasing it several times to the limit can we surpass them."

Chen Yun frowned and affirmed Zi Ling in an imperative tone.

"Increase the speed several times? How to deal with the terrifying space cracks in the inner valley? Isn't this too risky?"

Zi Ling couldn't help but take a breath when she heard this, and her face looked even more uneasy.

"No need to say more. What I did just now was all based on my own confidence. Moreover, Fairy Zi Ling is actually reluctant to move forward in order to obtain the fusion elixir?"

Chen Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a slightly teasing expression.

"According to my observations of Brother Chen over the years, you would never take risks if you were not absolutely sure. This shows that Brother Chen must have unique magical powers to deal with those hidden space cracks."

"In this case, I will just follow your orders."

Zi Ling was stunned for a moment, then her eyes rolled for a moment, and then she smiled and said.

Immediately afterwards, Zi Ling's figure flashed and she was sitting steadily on the wind carriage.

Chen Yun looked at her in surprise, then flew into the car in silence.

In an instant, the wind wheel under Chen Yun's control turned into a white lightning and sped away.

Obviously, Chen Yun's judgment was correct.

After tracking for only about half a day, Chen Yun and Zi Ling finally caught up with the people from the Ghost Spirit Sect at the edge of a vast desert.

Elder Zhong and his companions, due to the negligence of a disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect, triggered an ancient restriction nearby and were now frantically trying to escape.

Thanks to Chen Yun's cautious actions and focused spiritual awareness, he successfully avoided being discovered by the old man surnamed Zhong. Instead, he used his powerful spiritual awareness to investigate quietly.

Chen Yun clearly sensed that the spiritual power fluctuations of the ancient restriction were not strong. At most, it could only delay the Ghost Spirit Sect for a period of time. It could not really trap Elder Zhong who had the strength of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

However, this short period of time was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Chen Yun, enough for him to get rid of the other party.

Chen Yun was driving the wind car. He made up his mind and decided to take the risk of changing the original route and making a big detour.

Not long after, they successfully bypassed several space cracks along the way. Chen Yun finally left the Ghost Spirit Sect far behind and brought Zi Ling to a lush green mountain range.

Seeing the mountains in front of him, Chen Yun's mind moved, and the wind wheel gradually slowed down.

"It's right here! Look at the mountain that looks like a flying bird. That's the mark."

Zi Ling immediately recognized a mountain that looked like a giant bird among the peaks of the mountain range, and said excitedly, while glancing at Chen Yun involuntarily. In fact, although Zi Ling had shown confidence before, as if she trusted Chen Yun very much, she was still nervous when she saw Chen Yun driving the wind car at high speed.

However, to her surprise, under the guidance of Chen Yun, they actually arrived at their destination smoothly.

Not only did he avoid all space cracks, he didn't even trigger any ancient restrictions, and he arrived here unimpeded.

Zi Ling naturally didn't understand. In fact, Chen Yun was secretly feeling lucky at this moment.

If avoiding space rifts was relying on the magical effect of his Ming and Qing spiritual eyes.

So after changing the route just now, he did not trigger any hidden ancient restrictions. This was indeed his good luck.

Chen Yun thought so in his heart, but his face remained calm. At this moment, he just closed his eyes slightly, staring at the strange mountain in the distance, silent.

According to the direction pointed by the bird's beak, that should be the location of the last mark.

"Brother Chen, should we set off? Or should we destroy this mountain and then move on?"

Zi Ling waited for a moment, and seeing that Chen Yun was still hesitant, she made a suggestion anxiously.

"According to the precious jade slip, the last mark should be located in the vast desert area."

"The distance between the mountain we are currently on is about a thousand miles. This judgment should not be wrong!"

Chen Yun suddenly asked about Zi Ling.

"That's right, this is exactly what Brother Chen thinks..." Zi Ling now felt as if she had suddenly realized something.

"The answer is very simple. If we succeed in flattening this peak in front of us, as long as the enemy notices that this place has just been destroyed, they will naturally be able to clearly mark the location of the next mark."

“And the so-called last mark is located in the vast desert area.”

"Such a striking geographical feature could be easily found by them with only a little effort. This is exactly the same reason why we have been searching all the way here."

"The only way to delay their discovery of the time mark for this place is to set up a new illusory formation and hide this mountain within it."

"In the hope of deceiving them and making the Ghost Spirit Sect practitioners miss the opportunity to find the mark here."

Chen Yun gave the answer calmly and firmly.

"Brother Chen's point of view does make sense, but what kind of illusion can be used to cover up such a huge mountain and even deceive the powerful consciousness of a Yuanying stage cultivator?"

"Brother, have you studied the art of illusion?"

Zi Ling couldn't help but feel quite shocked, which caused her to have more questions about Chen Yun.

"Haha, I'm not particularly good at illusion, but luckily there are people who know a lot about it."

Chen Yun smiled slightly and replied calmly.

Then, Chen Yun waved his sleeves casually, and a dazzling white light rushed out from his cuffs and landed on the ground.

After a brief and intense flash, a beautiful young woman in a white dress appeared in the aura.

"Meet the master!"

The woman bowed deeply to Chen Yun. It was undoubtedly Yin Yue.

"Who is she anyway?"

The moment Zi Ling saw Yin Yue, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but scream out.

"Her name is Yin Yue. She will be my subordinate for now. Yin Yue, do you have a way to set up an illusory formation in a short time to hide the mountain?"

Chen Yun simply explained it in a calm tone, then pointed to where the young woman was standing and asked about the illusion array.

"With the several array treasures provided by the master, and the illusion skills I demonstrated, it would not be difficult to set up an illusion array that could hide this mountain."

"However, I cannot guarantee that the effect of this illusion array will be able to deceive the powerful consciousness of a Yuanying stage cultivator."

"Besides, my illusion cannot be compared with the magic array after all. It can only last for two days. By then, the illusion array will automatically dissipate."

Yin Yue replied respectfully.

"Very good, just do your best to complete this task. As for what level you can achieve in the end, just do your best. With these two days, it should be enough."

Chen Yun thought for a moment and made a decisive decision. He reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and two sets of array treasures emitting colorful luster suddenly appeared in his hands.

Chen Yun handed them over to Yin Yue without reservation.

"As you command! Master!"

Yin Yue took the treasure of the formation and agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, Chen Yun looked at the mountain in the distance that looked like a flying bird, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He rubbed his hands together quickly, then swung his arms vigorously, and a green sword energy that was more than ten feet long came out like an agile dragon.

It burst out from his hand with a whistling sound, circled around the mountain, and then returned to the starting point at an astonishing speed and disappeared.

And suddenly, there was an extremely violent fluctuation from the bird-shaped mountain.

Its beak, wings and other parts collapsed and fell heavily to the ground in an instant.

This once-prominent mountain has now become just like any other mountain.

When Zi Ling saw this scene, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

Although she knew very well that Chen Yun's strength was far beyond the scope of what a Foundation Establishment practitioner like her could understand, she always believed that magic weapons were the key. However, at the moment, Chen Yun only relied on an invisible sword energy.

As everyone knows, Chen Yun and Zi Ling in the past were both cultivators at the Jindan stage.

However, now, relying on the short time of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to quickly establish a very prestigious reputation.

This shocked Zi Ling. She once suspected whether Chen Yun had used some kind of opportunistic tricks to create such a vast reputation.

Just as Zi Ling was lost in thought, Yin Yue had already arrived with two sets of formation tools in his hand, flying on his sword to the mountain that was nearly half destroyed, and began to set up the formation.

Yin Yue moved as fast as the wind and completed the layout of two illusion arrays in just one meal.

Suddenly, a thick white mountain fog gradually rose up, covering most of the mountain, leaving only the top of the mountain remaining intact.

When Yin Yue had carefully arranged all the spells, her body suddenly turned into a ball of silver-white light and flew up to the sky above the mountain top. (End of this chapter)
