Biluo Sea, one of the ten most dangerous places on the Qianyuan Continent.
At this moment, the spiritual energy was boiling, and a storm of wild power swept through, slicing the space into countless fragments, making it extremely perilous.
However, dangerous places are also rich in treasures. For this reason, when the seal outside was recently opened, the sect master of Zhenxian Sect and others ventured in, but... they all perished.
"Heh heh, I, the Great Demon King of Bliss, have finally escaped!"
Outside the seal, a sharp voice echoed, and then the air rippled, and a figure resembling a child abruptly appeared, with demonic energy surging around him, as if it had become tangible.
"He's there..."
"Don't let him escape, or no one on the entire Qianyuan Continent will survive!"
"Attack together!"
...
A series of urgent reprimands followed, and hundreds of cultivators arrived on flying swords, each hovering in the air, their inner magical power surging, ready to set up a vast net.
"A bunch of fools, do you really think a divine artifact has appeared in the Biluo Sea? It's just an illusion I created. If I didn't lure you here, how could I break the seal?"
The child sneered.
He had been suppressed in the Biluo Sea for countless years. Not long ago, he deliberately damaged the seal and released some aura, making people believe that there was an extraordinary treasure here.
As a result, countless experts from Dayuan Prefecture came.
By taking advantage of their mutual struggles and fights, he used the power they emitted to break the seal in one go!
"My cultivation hasn't fully recovered, so I'll spare your lives today. But I remember every one of your faces. The next time we meet will be your end!"
As he sneered, the child's body gradually became ethereal.
"He's escaping, act quickly!"
An old man shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of experts attacked simultaneously, countless spells fell, and the sky was torn apart with cracks.
When the power subsided, the surroundings were empty, and there was no sign of the Great Demon King, nor any trace of demonic energy.
"He's escaped..."
Everyone's faces turned pale.
"Master, who is this Great Demon King?" After a moment of silence, a young man couldn't help but ask.
They knew a demon had emerged from the Biluo Sea, but they didn't know who it was!
The old man's expression was grave, his eyes full of worry as he said, "It should be Guan Zequan, the Bliss Child, a super demon from eight thousand years ago! In his youth, he was poisoned and turned into a dwarf, unable to grow taller. To seek revenge, he cultivated demonic arts and, after a hundred years, reached the peak of the Void Immortal realm, becoming famous throughout the world."
"He once single-handedly exterminated seven first-rate sects and over thirty second-rate sects in Dayuan Prefecture and Dayuan Prefecture, slaughtering no less than ten thousand experts of the Heaven Realm and above. For the entire continent, it was a true disaster."
"To eliminate him, the Nine Provinces gathered thirty-eight Void Immortal experts, chasing him for three months before finally capturing him here. However, no matter what methods they used, they couldn't kill him. In the end, they had no choice but to seal him here!"
"I thought he had long been thoroughly refined and his soul scattered, but I never expected him to still be alive..."
Everyone was shocked, and many young people were frightened, their faces pale and trembling.
What kind of existence has escaped?
"He is a true great demon. Now that he has escaped, the entire continent will likely face disaster again!"
"Which direction did he escape to?"
"Northwest."
"Are there any sects there?"
"It seems to be... Zhenxian Sect!"
Silence fell, and after a long while, a trembling voice spoke again: "The sect master and the grand elder of this sect also came here, but they were trapped and completely wiped out..."
"Already not strong, and now without the sect master and grand elder and other high-level forces... this sect is probably finished!"
...
Unaware of the changes in the Biluo Sea, Su Yin followed Chen Yu and the other person for a long time, finally arriving at a large courtyard.
It was built by an elder of Zhenxian Sect, far from the main peak, near a cliff, surrounded by dense primeval forests, extremely quiet.
Even before they arrived, they could see the three large characters "Yin Xian Ju" (Hermit Immortal Residence) above the door frame, slightly yellowed and about to fall off.
He nodded in satisfaction.
Not only was it quiet, but the name was also good.
His name is Su Yin, and this is called Yin Xian Ju... it sounds very high-class.
Pushing the door open, a winding stream flowed through the courtyard, with dozens of guest rooms and a large open space, giving it a sense of a utopia.
Although it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, Chen Yu and the other person cleaned it with a Dust-Repelling Pearl, making it quite clean.
As for the furniture, Su Yin had learned carpentry skills and made quite a bit, which could replace the old items.
The open space could be used for growing vegetables and grains, achieving self-sufficiency.
Seeing that his granduncle was satisfied, Chen Yu and the other person breathed a sigh of relief and left with a bow.
"This area for rice, this for wheat, that for corn..."
After regaining his composure, Su Yin didn't rest but divided the courtyard into several sections, designing as he strolled: "This place looks a bit monotonous, let's add some flowers!"
With a flick of his wrist, a pile of flowers with soil fell to the ground.
Not the rich and noble peonies, but common plants like foxtail grass and morning glories... cultivated casually while learning flower-growing skills, and brought along with fertilizer when leaving the restricted area.
Taking out tools, he planted them in a special way, and the courtyard immediately filled with a fresh fragrance, invigorating the spirit.
Smiling, Su Yin took out some items and furniture he had made while learning skills and placed them around.
"Now it looks like a proper place..."
He set up a chessboard in the pavilion, placed a zither on the rain-viewing platform, hung couplets on the doors, and hung paintings in the living room. Even the "Yin Xian Ju" sign outside was wiped clean and rewritten.
Not because it was old, but because... the writing was too ugly to look at...
In less than half an hour, the entire courtyard was completely transformed.
If before it was somewhat remote, with the only good thing being its quietness, now it was filled with spiritual energy and charm, turning into a place everyone would yearn for.
However, all of this was hidden behind the walls, not leaking out at all, and from a distance, it still looked like an old mansion.
"Xiao Wu, Da Hei, and Lao Man can come over now..."
With everything prepared, Su Yin smiled.
Xiao Wu is the parrot, Da Hei is the donkey, and Lao Man is the slow-moving old turtle.
He went to the rain-viewing platform, placed his hands on the zither, and gently strummed, producing a beautiful melody like flowing water.
The newly planted flowers swayed like an audience, and the handmade items, decorations, and calligraphy he had made also moved, as if they were entranced.
"Kaw Kaw!"
After a moment, a parrot flew in.
Xiao Wu.
Su Yin smiled gently.
When he left, he specifically instructed the parrot to fly over when it heard the zither, and now it seems it really understood!
No wonder animals in the cultivation world are smarter and more human-like, even without cultivation, compared to those on Earth.
"Go and bring them over..."
Su Yin instructed.
Flapping its wings, the parrot reluctantly flew away.
It had gained intelligence from listening to its master play the zither, and now, with the immortal melody, it really didn't want to leave.
When the melody ended, Su Yin stopped.
At the same time, the swaying flowers, the shaking paintings, and the dancing decorations all became still, as if they had never moved before.
