Chapter 238
It’s understandable; Dan Yun must have used some means to protect her daughter.
This is also why, for so many years, the people of the Yaochi Sacred Land have never been able to find Dan Bai.
“Through the heavenly machine’s divination, how can I obtain the formula for the Hunyuan Butian Dan?” Chen Huai'an changed the subject.
[Divination in progress... This is your third divination today! The fee has been deducted.]
The Cangyun Realm was once again in turmoil.
But now, no cultivator paid attention to the frequently shifting celestial phenomena.
Even when the golden vertical pupil appeared, it was merely a casual glance, nothing to be surprised about.
[Divination complete. Finding Dan Bai or Dan Yun will grant you the formula for the Hunyuan Butian Dan.]
“Damn it!”
Wasn’t this just like pulling down your pants to fart?
Give me back my ten thousand bucks!
Chen Huai'an gritted his teeth, feeling as if he had issued a battle order, collected all the rewards, and then foolishly rushed into a high-level battle command.
There was nothing to gain except for a level increase of 10.
“Fine, looks like I can only clear the layers of luck loss.”
Chen Huai'an glanced at his staggering 987 layers of luck loss and felt a wave of dizziness.
In daily life, it wasn’t too bad; after all, he wouldn’t die from high-voltage electricity, falling manhole covers, or spontaneous combustion of car and helicopter fuel tanks. It merely added a bit of excitement to his otherwise mundane life. But he simply couldn’t tolerate severe constipation or finding bits of steel wool and dead flies in his food.
Fasting was out of the question.
Humans have mouths and have developed a food culture for a reason—it's meant to be experienced.
When he was broke, he could only grind his teeth and swallow.
Now that he had money, it was better to end this life of minor thrills as soon as possible.
Chen Huai'an opened the player character panel, selected the negative buff
[Clearing ‘Luck Loss 987 layers’ will cost: 100X1000 + 300X1W + 300X10W + 287X100W, totaling 320 million. Do you wish to clear?]
“Is 320 million really considered money? Clear it!”
[Funds deducted. Your layers of luck loss have been cleared!]
The moment the game notification appeared, Chen Huai'an felt a refreshing breeze on his face, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and birdsong.
Usually, carrying 987 layers of luck loss didn’t feel like much, but now that it was all cleared, he felt utterly liberated, as if he had shed a few pounds! The momentary pleasure was akin to waiting in a crowded restroom at a bus station with a stomachache, only to finally burst in the moment the door opened, pants down, unleashing a torrent of relief!
“Awesome!!!”
Chen Huai'an stood on one foot atop the Jian Ge stone tablet, hands on his hips.
“Now, forcefully reveal Dan Bai’s location!”
[Divination in progress. Target detected as concealed by heavenly mechanisms. Initiating forced revelation!]
[Player gains 500 layers of luck loss.]
A wicked smile crept across Chen Huai'an’s lips as he spent 13.1 million to clear the 500 layers.
From this day forward, he would not carry a single layer of luck loss; he refused to be the boy with constipation.
[Forced revelation complete. Dan Bai’s location is now displayed on the map!]
…
Meanwhile, deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
In the shadowy valley, clouds hung low, and a solitary eave cradled the moon.
By a wooden cabin, a girl in a simple white dress was rolling up her sleeves, sorting the dried spiritual herbs in a basket.
Around her, many small animals like squirrels, mountain sparrows, and wild rabbits gathered, some of which were even spirit beasts, all watching her eagerly.
“Just a little longer, okay? The ingredients are ready, but it’ll take some time to cook.”
The girl smiled as she gently patted the head of a mountain sparrow beside her.
This sparrow was as big as a drum, its plump body quivering with every movement, possessing three hundred years of spiritual power—definitely the king of sparrows.
Dan Bai was about to take the dried herbs inside to boil water.
Suddenly, a wave of unease washed over her from the sky, and the surrounding animals and spirit beasts became acutely aware, cowering on the ground, trembling.
She looked up at the sliver of light above the canyon.
Her mother had set up an illusion array in this canyon, which had remained intact for many years. Even the great Yu Yao from the Yaochi Sacred Land, at the peak of her cultivation, had been unable to locate her. In the past, when spiritual senses swept over from above, she had felt nothing. Today was the first time she felt a chill of fear.
Buzz—!
Dan Bai’s pupils constricted sharply.
She saw a massive golden vertical pupil emerging from the clouds.
Though this pupil had a wide field of vision, she had an instinct that it was fixated on her!
In the next moment.
Crack!!!
A bolt of golden lightning tore through the heavens, plummeting toward the canyon.
Dan Bai’s face turned pale, instinctively raising her hands to shield herself.
When she lowered her hands, she found the array above the canyon already covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
Inside the cabin, the array disk hidden in the corner had been melted by the heavenly lightning.
She watched helplessly as the runes of the great array disintegrated piece by piece—this was the ultimate concealment array that had consumed her mother’s lifetime of learning and countless precious resources.
In an instant, it was pierced through like thin paper by the thunder.
Fortunately, the heavenly lightning only struck once.
The golden vertical pupil seemed to have aimed solely at breaking the array.
Confirming that the array was beyond repair, the golden vertical pupil gradually faded back into the dark clouds.
Before long, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the heavenly might receded, and the moon and stars reemerged.
This was the first time the clear sky outside the canyon had revealed itself, but she had no heart to appreciate the beauty of the night.
“The array is broken; I need to leave quickly.”
Dan Bai bit her lip, urgency flashing in her eyes, no longer caring about the animals that had accompanied her for years.
The people from the Yaochi Sacred Land could arrive at any moment.
She needed to find a place where she could hide.
Right now, she didn’t have the ability to rescue her mother; if she were captured by the Yaochi Sacred Land as well, all hope would be lost.
…
Chen Huai'an had no idea that his forced revelation had put the target in danger.
In his mind, forced revelation was about enhancing the ability to read the heavenly machine, not directly dismantling someone’s array.
If he had known this in advance, he would have surrounded the array first before dismantling it.
Chen Huai'an immediately opened the map and found the marked location deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
This area was close to the stronghold of the demon clan.
To survive in such a perilous place, either Dan Yun’s protection was comprehensive, or Dan Bai herself was exceptionally strong.
Time was of the essence; Chen Huai'an prepared to set off immediately in search of Dan Bai.
As he spread out his spiritual sense, the surrounding environment on the map suddenly changed dramatically.
It was a massive red ring, occupying nearly half of the small map’s view.
Surrounding the ring were eighteen smaller circles, nested within the larger ring, resembling the traces left by a UFO in a wheat field.
But this was the Cangyun Realm, and Chen Huai'an knew this was a formation.
Had someone set up a formation around him while he entered the small world?
Chen Huai'an narrowed his eyes.
On the mini-map, a red dot overlapped with his own white triangle.
If the enemy wasn’t in front of him…
Then they must be in the sky!!!

Chapter 256: Suppressing Yu Ning
The Yaochi Sacred Land had existed for over ten thousand years.
Within the sacred land, talents emerged, leaving behind various formidable techniques.
Among them was a formation known as the—Absolute Immortal Formation.
The name alone suggested that even immortals would perish within it.
Of course, its true power wasn’t that terrifying, but in the Dongxu realm, it was undoubtedly a powerful and highly targeted formation.
“Old Ancestor of Jian Ge, let’s see how you escape this time!”
Realizing Yu Ning looked down through the clouds at the figure below, she couldn’t help but smile.
The Absolute Immortal Formation covered a vast area, combining confinement, killing, and suppression into one, with a total of eighteen hidden formation eyes.
Moreover, she had utilized her resources to the utmost, making it more than capable of dealing with the old ancestor of Jian Ge at the fifth level of Dongxu.
The opponent would definitely not be able to break the formation in a short time.
As the formation was being broken, the power of the Absolute Immortal Formation would gradually increase over time, enough to annihilate the opponent’s spirit and body!
She could almost envision the old ancestor of Jian Ge kneeling before her, pleading for mercy.
Don’t think such scenes are rare; these old monsters in the Dongxu realm have lived for a long time, and the longer they live, the more they cherish their lives.
