Cheng Lingyu observed the terrain of Xingyun Ridge. The mountain was too large, with the main peak winding up, thousands of miles away. There were many canyon forests distributed in the middle, filled with spiritual birds and strange beasts.

Cheng Lingyu fused four immortal souls, the colorful source of the Yaoxing sensed some mineral fluctuations on the Nebula Ridge, the Dream Thousand Tears Bamboo felt many spiritual medicines, and the Nine Nether King Bird and the Jade Crystal Ice Winged Dragon discovered many ancient strange beasts of the demon king level.

Cheng Lingyu took out the map and expanded the distribution map of Soul Gathering Valley, the ranking distribution map of spirit beasts, the distribution map of ancient ruins and the distribution map of dangerous areas. The three of them compared and studied together, focusing on the situation of Nebula Ridge.

After comparison, Fang Ruohua discovered spiritual beasts, ruins, and dangerous areas on three maps. The terrain records of Feixing Ridge, Xuanyue Ridge, Sunset Ridge, Mingmo Ridge, and Xingyun Ridge are relatively detailed.

Next is the Youxing Ridge and the Dark Moon Ridge, then the Moon Ridge, and finally the Moon God Ridge.

"Senior brother, why are the maps of our Moon God Ridge full of large blank spaces?"

"Because there are fewer disciples in the Moon God Ridge, I don't have the energy to explore."

Lan Xiaozhu said: "There is another reason. I heard that the Moon God Ridge is a cursed place. In the past, there were disciples from other branches exploring the Moon God Ridge, but most of them went but didn't return. Over time, no one was willing to explore the Moon God Ridge again."

Fang Ruohua exclaimed: "This is not really a curse land, right?"

Cheng Lingyu said calmly: "Don't think too much, look at the map of Xingyun Ridge first. Judging from the distribution map of ancient ruins and the distribution map of dangerous areas, there are two ancient ruins on Xingyun Ridge, three dangerous areas."

Lan Xiaozhu said: "The map records that one of the two ancient ruins is the most famous Nebula Lock in Nebula Ridge. It is not open to the public and is protected by masters. The other is located between the third and fourth houses of Nebula, thousands of miles away. It cannot be used for teleportation arrays back and forth. It is not only a long journey, but also very dangerous."

Fang Ruohua said: "This kind of ruins has been checked many times. I guess I won't get anything if I go there. There is no need to waste energy. On the contrary, those dangerous areas are notorious and may have some good things hidden."

Cheng Lingyu pointed to the ranking distribution map of the spirit beasts and said: "There are four kinds of spirit beasts on Xingyun Ridge, all of which seem to be difficult to crack."

Lan Xiaozhu said: "We are not in a good state now, and many places are not suitable."

All three of them are just in the Soul Martial Realm, which is the minimum standard for Sunset City to recruit disciples.

Maybe the Soul Martial Realm is not bad outside, but in Sunset City, the Soul Martial Realm seems too low.

"Let's go, let's go and have a walk."

Cheng Lingyu put away the map and looked into the distance in the wind, and his temperament changed instantly.

"Senior brother, you have changed."

Fang Ruohua's eyes were a little confused, and he was invisibly fascinated by Cheng Lingyu.

Lan Xiaozhu said with slightest voice: "He is becoming more and more charming, and he doesn't even notice it himself."

Cheng Lingyu frowned and said, "Why is this happening?"

Lan Xiaozhu whispered: "Why are so many people practicing in this world pursuing the ultimate state of Tao? Because it is charming."

Cheng Lingyu was stunned when he heard this and said in surprise: "You mean... I... have the aura of Tao on me, which can release a charming aura?"

Lan Xiaozhu said: "In the past, you had charming eyes because you practiced the magical eye technique, exuding the magical aura, a little evil and a little charming. Now you are different from before, and you seem to have too many things integrated into your body, and I can't explain it clearly. I don't understand what the Tao is, maybe you can explain it."

Fang Ruohua said: "I once heard that cultivation can change a person's temperament. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the invisible aura emitted, and the greater the attraction it releases. Just like the venerables in the spiritual martial arts realm, they release different auras and temperaments according to the different practices of practice. Some people are domineering, some are gentle, some are cold, and some are fierce. But whether they are domineering, gentle, cold or fierce, these are all a kind of emotional change and have a certain temptation."

Cheng Lingyu showed a meditative look. He knew his changes very early, but it was attributed to the magic eye technique.

Now the words of Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua made him realize that his previous understanding seemed to be wrong.

What is Tao?

He couldn't explain clearly.

What do the laws of heaven, martial arts, immortality, and demons represent?

In addition, what are the kingly way, domineering way, demon way, and ghost way?

How many paths are there in the world, and what is the ultimate goal of cultivation?

All kinds of doubts emerged in my heart, causing Cheng Lingyu to fall into silence for a moment.

"Senior brother, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking, what is Tao and what is cultivation."

Lan Xiaozhu said: "Countless people have been thinking about this issue throughout the ages, and everyone's understanding is different, so you don't have to rush to this moment."

Cheng Lingyu said: "Yes, cultivation is a long road, and there is time to think slowly. Let's go."

The three of them flew towards the forest in the distance, and Cheng Lingyu planned to go around.

"Senior brother wants to find the elixir?"

Fang Ruohua looked at the forest ahead and the Immortal Soul sensed the existence of the Demon King.

"The magic king is guarding the spiritual medicine. With our current cultivation strength, it is not suitable to snatch it."

Fang Ruohua said in confusion: "What do you want to do with senior brother?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will know then."

Cheng Lingyu sacrificed the flying spiritual weapon Cloud Boat, and took two women to shuttle through the primitive forest with huge trees, looking for a suitable place.

Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua guessed several times, but they didn't have the intention to guess Cheng Lingyu, which made the two women very curious.

Along the way, the three of them discovered many demon kings, all of which were terrifying giant birds and strange beasts with shocking combat power. Fortunately, they were protected by the Yunzhiboat, otherwise the three of them would be in danger.

After walking for more than a day, Cheng Lingyu discovered a valley that was not growing in the depths of the primitive forest. It was not large in area, about two miles long and one mile wide, and it looked particularly dazzling in the dense forest.

Yunzhiboat stopped above the valley. Cheng Lingyu carefully observed the situation in the valley and smiled on his face.

"It's just right here, there are no giant birds and beasts nearby."

Lan Xiaozhu questioned: "What do you want to do?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, I'll tell you later. Let's go down and take a look."

The three of them flew into the valley and began to check the terrain. There was no grass growing in this valley, but there were some corpses.

Cheng Lingyu frowned slightly, and the magic knife in his palm showed a slight vibration. He seemed to feel something existed, but he paid attention to it but did not.

"You go and find me some stones, which are basically the same size, and it costs 236 yuan in total."

Fang Ruohua said curiously: "Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Design the formation."

"What are you doing for formation?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled but did not answer, paying close attention to the situation in the valley.

Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua were responsible for finding the stones, and Cheng Lingyu carved some array patterns on the stones, each of which was different.

"The art of inscription array engraving, what is your purpose for building a large array?"

Lan Xiaozhu has been with Cheng Lingyu for a lot of time and is relatively familiar with his situation.

"Teel the enemy."

"What's the meaning?"

Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua both looked confused. Cheng Lingyu set up a formation to lure the enemy. Who should he lure?

The inscription array is very costly to carve true energy. Two hundred and thirty-six stones took Cheng Lingyu half a day, which is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Afterwards, with the assistance of Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua, Cheng Lingyu began to set up the formation. It was a compound formation, quite complex and profound.

At dusk, the formation is basically completed.

"It's getting dark, are we here tonight?"

Fang Ruohua thinks this place is good and has formation defense, so it should be very safe.

Cheng Lingyu said: "This place is a bit mysterious and not suitable for long-term stay. Now you can retreat first. The last few steps are very important and I need to complete them myself."

Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua both retreated a mile away and paid close attention to Cheng Lingyu's every move.

Half an hour later, the sky had completely dimmed, but a brilliant light suddenly appeared in the valley. It was Cheng Lingyu's formation that was completed.

When the formation was activated, the entire valley was shining into the sky, and the light was dazzling. The light columns rose from the ground, which looked particularly dazzling in the night sky.

"Okay, let's go."

Cheng Lingyu flashed and pulled the two women out of the lightning, leading them into the darkness.

After a moment, the three of them rode the cloud boat through time and space, and returned to the entrance of the Soul Gathering Valley.

At this time, the masters of Xingyun Ridge were already alarmed by the light columns soaring into the sky under the night, and disciples from various veins near the Soul Valley were also running around to spread the news.

In less than an hour, the mysterious light pillar appeared on the Nebula Ridge alarmed the entire Sunset City, and masters and disciples from all major branches came to explore.

At this time, Cheng Lingyu had already taken Lan Xiaozhu and Fang Ruohua to the vicinity of the Seventh Palace of Nebula and found a quiet place to pay close attention to the movements of Nebula Ridge.

In the primitive forest, the place where the divine cloud soars into the sky is closest to the sixth house of the Nebula, followed by the seventh house of the Nebula.

Many disciples with insufficient identities chose to go straight to the seventh house of the Nebula and then quickly flew to the depths of the primitive Great Ginseng Forest, wanting to explore opportunities.

When Cheng Lingyu saw this scene, he showed a charming smile on his face.

"Junior sister, do you think if we leave Xingyun Ridge now, where will we go next stop?"

Fang Ruohua hesitated and said, "Senior Brother is testing me? There are many places to go next, how can I guess this?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled and said, "Xiaozhu, what do you think?"

Lan Xiaozhu thought about it and said with some insight: "I understand, you want to go to Feixingling."

Fang Ruohua said in confusion: "Flying Star Ridge? They are almost mortal enemies with us. Isn't it boring to go there at this time?"
