I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 125 The Great World
"If that's the case, then it can be considered a world of its own."

Upon hearing Ying Chan's words, Li Xuanying thought to himself, "It's just not very vast..."

The two chatted idly, and did not see any demonic forms along the way. Just as they were discussing whether to change direction, they suddenly saw a flash of blue light in the distance, and a figure flew towards them.

Looking around, Li Xuanying realized that it was the young Taoist priest who had left first among their group.

"Is this the fellow Daoist?"

He let out a soft exclamation and was about to step forward to greet him when Ying Chan suddenly said, "Wait."

Li Xuanying was slightly taken aback and had some doubts, but out of trust, he immediately stopped the attack.

The next moment, Ying Chan flicked his finger and unleashed a thunderous roar.

A burst of platinum sword energy suddenly erupted, slashing forward and instantly cutting the young Taoist in two at the waist!
Li Xuanying was not surprised, but his gaze narrowed slightly.

He hadn't noticed anything unusual because they were some distance apart.

However, as the young Taoist priest approached, although there seemed to be no flaws, his sword heart had already become alert.

As expected, Ying Chan unleashed a Gengjin Yuanfu sword aura, instantly shattering the young Taoist's figure into two streams of turbid energy.

It turned out that this young Taoist priest was actually a demon from outer space.

Li Xuanying felt a chill run down his spine. The transformation of this evil creature was truly unbelievable. The two of them and the young Taoist priest were complete strangers before today, yet the demonic form could sense the energy and take on a different form. What if it transformed into someone he knew...

As they were pondering, the two streams of turbid air seemed to sense something, twisting and trying to converge, and a voice even rang out: "Xuanying, save me..."

"Noisy!"

Ying Chan frowned slightly, and with a flick of his finger, several more Gengjin Yuanfu sword energies slashed out, crisscrossing and instantly shattering the turbid airflow into pieces.

Having suffered such a severe blow, the extraterrestrial demon could no longer reassemble. Only a faint wail could be heard in the air, and the turbid airflow suddenly dissipated, as if it were about to vanish with the wind.

However, Ying Chan did not let it fly away. Instead, he took out a yellow gourd, uncorked it, and shook it.

The turbid currents scattered in the air were immediately sucked into the gourd's mouth.

This is the magical artifact that you receive when registering your name; it can collect the turbid energy that dissipates after the demonic form is killed.

After the disciples who were summoned by the decree to exorcise demons return, the Metropolitan Government will use this as evidence to reward them for their Taoist merits.

This can be considered one of the reasons why Yingchan received the imperial decree.

Li Xuanying watched as Ying Chan gathered up the turbid energy before saying, "This demonic form is indeed strange. The cry for help just now was clearly Senior Brother Xu's voice. It was only because I thought of someone I knew that I was immediately moved by him."

Ying Chan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He naturally recognized Xu Yuan's voice, but he didn't expect that it was Li Xuanying's thoughts that caused the demonic form to change.

Thinking back to what his senior from the Ministry of State Affairs had said, he couldn't help but feel wary.

He pondered, "It seems that when facing this demonic form, one should indeed guard one's mind and avoid having too many thoughts."

Li Xuanying nodded and said, "However, it seems that as long as we are not misled, these evil creatures are not that powerful."

Ying Chan smiled and said, "Xuan Ying must not be so easily fooled as he was before."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanying coughed lightly and quickly said, "After all, this is my first time encountering a demonic form, and I was indeed a little careless."

"However, after this move, I am now on guard. I will guard my sword heart and will not be deceived by it again."

"That's good."

"Speaking of which," Li Xuanying asked curiously, "how did you discover the clues from such a distance, Senior Brother?"

"Since I arrived on this star, I have been using the Taiyao True Fire to protect my body and spirit."

Ying Chan smiled and said, "Besides that, I have also opened my Dharma eyes, which gives me the ability to dispel falsehoods."

"Famu?"

Li Xuanying and Ying Chan exchanged a glance, and sure enough, they saw a faint flicker of firelight in each other's pupils. Ying Chan nodded slightly.

In the past few months, he has not hesitated to make progress, and has also practiced several other spells, including the incantation for finding the source of energy.

However, this 'Dharma Eye' was not something he had recently mastered; rather, it was a wondrous application that he had comprehended while cultivating the Taiyao True Fire Technique.

By channeling the Taiyao True Fire to the eye aperture, the eye consciousness, aided by the wondrous power of the True Fire, can generate the ability to penetrate the void and dispel illusions.

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanying was quite envious: "The Taiyao True Fire Technique truly lives up to its name. I wonder when Senior Brother will be able to learn the Crimson Bright Taiyao Innate Divine Light?"

"Well, I'm afraid the road ahead is long and arduous."

Ying Chan smiled upon hearing this. The more profound his cultivation of the Taiyao True Fire Technique became, the more he felt that this technique was mysterious and still had endless aspects to explore.

As for the nature of the Crimson Brightness Supreme Divine Light, it is truly difficult to fathom.

Even now, thinking back, what Feng Xufeng once displayed was probably not the true Crimson Bright Taiyao Innate Divine Light. It's just unknown what stage this senior brother had reached in his cultivation.

The two chatted idly and did not linger in one place. They quickly continued flying forward.

Li Xuanying's statement that he was now on guard and would no longer be deceived by the extraterrestrial demons was not unfounded.

Afterwards, the two encountered several more demonic creatures, which Li Xuanying easily killed without Ying Chan even having to lift a finger.

Ying Chan, on the other hand, was quite happy to have some free time.

However, after thinking it over, Li Xuanying suddenly said, "Senior brother, why don't we split up?"

“These demonic forms are not difficult to deal with. If we go together, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

He shook the gourd magic weapon in his hand and said, "Moreover, I have recently been interested in refining my flying sword and am currently collecting spiritual herbs. The amount of cultivation required is not small, so I will not compete with you, senior brother."

"in this way……"

After a moment's thought, Ying Chanlue said, "Very well, then let's part ways here for now."

Without wasting words, Li Xuanying cupped his hands and transformed into a streak of sword light, flying away.

Ying Chan withdrew his gaze and decided to no longer indulge in leisure.

He glanced at the horizon, then immediately increased his speed, speeding away close to the desolate land.

Along the way, they killed many demonic beings. After flying for an hour, they finally saw a hazy light rising suddenly from behind the horizon.

"This is……"

Ying Chan was greatly shocked; the momentum of the attack not only did not decrease but increased.

No matter how far he moved forward, he couldn't get any closer to the light; instead, he saw it rise higher and higher until it occupied the entire sky.

Ying Chan unconsciously stopped flying away, looked up, and stared blankly into space.

This beam of light that filled the sky seemed to be a fusion of countless colors, its beauty beyond words.

Looking out, one can see nothing at all, yet the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the vast ocean and mountains seem to leap into one's heart.

"This is... the vast world!"

Yes, that is the vast world.

Its vastness seems to no longer exist in the void, but rather is two sides of the same coin.

Looking at the sky from the other side of the stars, there is deep darkness, while on this side of the stars, there is a boundless 'world'.

"So it really is true that the sky is round and the earth is square, carrying all things!"
