Chapter 563: Crushing the Sky, The Heavenly Court and Demonic Court
With an area of spiritual consciousness reaching eighty miles, Liu Yu centered himself and instantly scanned the surroundings.
Every movement of the wind and grass within this range became clear to him, as if it were right under his hand.
Two days had passed, and Liu Yu estimated that the demonic race must have discovered the destruction of the Crimson Blood Marsh.
It’s quite possible they had even investigated the cause and identified the "culprits" as human cultivators.
The demonic cultivator responsible for pursuing him and his group might already be on their way, so they had to be extra careful.
Although the eighty-mile range of spiritual consciousness refers to the diameter, spiritual consciousness is formless, intangible, and travels at high speed, allowing Liu Yu to scan in all directions within that range in just a moment, effectively covering a radius of eighty miles.
Moreover, there wouldn’t be too many gaps in this scanning.
After confirming that the surroundings were filled with low-level demonic beasts, Liu Yu finally relaxed slightly and silently observed Mu Yunyan’s actions.
The other three were also cautious and alert to their surroundings, in case any demonic cultivators appeared unexpectedly.
“Puff~”
Under the power of solid magic at the golden core stage, the black soil was easily parted, and any resistance posed no obstacle.
With Mu Yunyan continuously exerting her magical power, the pit of seven or eight zhang deep kept getting deeper.
It was only when the depth reached around twenty zhang that she seemed to discover something, retracting her pure white pillar of magical power.
“I found it.”
A look of joy appeared on her face as she reached into the pit.
Liu Yu’s gaze flickered; through his observation with spiritual consciousness, he had already seen what lay within the pit.
It was a wooden token with a deep green surface, about the size of two adult palms, looking very ordinary and unremarkable.
However, it was not an ordinary item, as it had endured for tens of thousands of years without decay.
“Could it be…”
Thoughts flashed through Liu Yu’s mind, and he had already speculated about the token’s purpose.
If nothing went wrong, this should be the token for activating the “safe cave dwelling” formation.
Just as this thought arose, Mu Yunyan confirmed his suspicion with her words.
“This is the cave dwelling token.”
“I didn’t expect that after so many years, this token hasn’t been lost. What a stroke of luck.”
She smiled as she spoke.
Afterward, she cast two special spell gestures in front of everyone, which landed on the deep green token.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz”
As the spell gestures entered, the token seemed to unlock its seal, radiating a hazy azure light.
“Great! The token still has its effectiveness!”
“As long as the formation isn’t damaged, we’ll have a place to hide.”
After conducting a series of tests, Mu Yunyan confirmed that the token could still function, and her face revealed a trace of joy.
Hearing this, Liu Yu and the other three felt relieved.
“Now that we’ve found the token, let’s enter the cave dwelling.”
“Entering the cave dwelling a bit earlier would ensure our safety.”
“Please lead the way, Fairy Mu!”
Liu Yu’s smile faded, and he said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the others put away their smiles and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, this was not a safe time.
If news reached the demonic race's royal court, their situation would become extremely dangerous.
Between the third and fourth blockade lines, although there was about half the size of the Chu State, if the demonic cultivators used their full speed to search, it wouldn’t take long at all.
Moreover, this time, they would undoubtedly search thoroughly, not leaving anything to chance.
The concealment effect of the Azure Soul Veil would likely be ineffective then.
Even for the entire demonic race, the eradication of a third-tier demonic beast group was definitely not a trivial matter.
