Su Yuan was still in the state of Mind Echo.
His consciousness shuttled between various thoughts, searching for the whereabouts of the Old Demon of Mist Hide.
But to his surprise, the Old Demon of Mist Hide had stopped muttering about him.
Su Yuan formed a hand seal, communicating with heaven and earth, and using his Divine Mind, he once again communicated with the Big Dipper.
He used the deduction technique again!
After searching for a long time, Su Yuan frowned.
"Disappeared? I can't deduce his location anymore!"
Su Yuan's deduction result showed a black mist disappearing underground.
That seemed to be an earth escape technique!
This Old Demon of Mist Hide also knew an earth escape Divine Ability!
Under the earth, the starlight of the Big Dipper was difficult to reach, making deduction difficult. The other party also hadn't mentioned him again, so he couldn't use Mind Echo to search for them.
Su Yuan fell into deep thought.
"He should be severely injured now, so he can't escape too far. It's possible he's hiding somewhere underground to recover from his injuries."
Su Yuan didn't want to let this Spirit Transformation old demon escape.
"It seems my shortcomings are still quite obvious!"
Su Yuan sighed. The Big Dipper was powerful, but the means to deal with things underground were very scarce!
This would definitely need to be remedied in the future.
At this time, there was still ample cultivation time for "Work-Rest Balance", and he didn't want to waste it, so he began to deduce escape technique methods.
This was another shortcoming he discovered: his speed was too slow. However, this flaw was relatively easy to solve. The light of the stars was also the fastest in the world. Based on the Starry Sky Conception as the Foundation, the Seven Stars Flowing Light Step as the base, and referencing the flying escape techniques displayed by many Spirit Transformation Cultivators, it wasn't difficult to comprehend a Starry Sky Escape Technique.
Under the effect of the ["Work-Rest Balance"] entry, the general framework of the escape technique quickly took shape and gradually became more complete. However, he soon encountered a Bottleneck in creating the technique.
Without hesitation, he activated ["Work-Rest Balance"] three times, at the cost of shortening the duration tenfold. His comprehension increased again, the recent Bottleneck was quickly broken through, and he continued to perfect the escape technique.
Finally, before the cultivation time for ["Work-Rest Balance"] ended, he successfully created the "Seven Stars Escape Technique".
Su Yuan took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the sixth-tier spiritual treasure Floating Sky Pot landed in his right palm. Then, the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron also flew into Su Yuan's sleeve.
The Nine Stars Linked Beads Sword lit up with light. He stepped onto the Flying Sword and rapidly flew upwards.
Surrounded by seven stars, it was like a Big Dipper Formation rising up, echoing the Big Dipper in the sky.
Su Yuan's figure rapidly ascended, flying faster and faster!
In almost the blink of an eye, he rushed into the clouds, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Immortal Elder Nangong saw that Su Yuan was leaving, and his expression changed. He immediately got up, chased after Su Yuan, intending to protect him.
However, by the time he flew into the air, he could no longer see any trace of Su Yuan.
"This, this, what kind of escape technique is this?"
Immortal Elder Nangong looked at the still bright Big Dipper in the sky, his face full of disbelief.
At this moment, Su Yuan had already flown above the Nine Heavens.
He locked onto the direction of the Forest of the Pig Demons, and then plunged towards the earth again!
Above the sky of the Forest of the Pig Demons, a ray of starlight carrying astonishing power fell, crashing onto the ground and creating a huge pit.
"Ptooey!"
Su Yuan walked out of the pit, covered in dust, and spat out the dirt in his mouth fiercely.
"This escape technique needs improvement."
Su Yuan looked at the sky and said.
The principle of his Seven Stars Escape Technique was to rely on the guidance and projection of the Big Dipper, so his escape technique was straight up and straight down!
When taking off, it ascended rapidly like a rocket, with extremely high speed. When descending, it landed like a cannonball, as fast as a meteorite.
But the problem was, there was no seven stars Formation diagram in the Forest of the Pig Demons for him to pinpoint his location, nor was there Mind Echo to guide him. Thus, when landing, he made a small error in judging the landing distance, miscalculated the altitude, and couldn't stop in time!
Fortunately, he had thick skin and flesh, so he was fine.
Su Yuan soared into the air, identified the direction, and flew towards a certain location.
The Seven Stars Flowing Light Step circulated. His figure flickered through the air like starlight. His speed was not slow, but compared to the Seven Stars Escape Technique, it was naturally much slower.
Soon, he landed at the final resting place of the Mad Devil Taoist.
He reached out and beckoned, and a Storage Ring flew into his hand.
Su Yuan's mouth curved up: "Not bad. It feels terrible if I don't loot the spoils after killing someone. I finally got it!"
Xiao Li's curious voice came from the Floating Sky Pot in his right hand: "Su Yuan, how did you know there was a Storage Ring here?"
Su Yuan smiled: "This was my spoils of war to begin with!"
Xiao Li was a bit confused. It hadn't seen Su Yuan make a move, so how could there be spoils of war?
Su Yuan waved his hand and flew towards another location.
He quickly arrived at an ordinary spot in the Forest of the Pig Demons. This was exactly where the Old Demon of Mist Hide had disappeared.
Su Yuan thought for a moment, found a stone, and with a sword strike, carved out a flat surface on it.
Then Su Yuan wrote a few lines of text on it, and then Su Yuan quietly left.
He went to several other locations in the Forest of the Pig Demons, leaving a few lines of text at each.
Afterward, he shot up into the sky, turning into a star point and disappearing at extreme speed.
After looting the spoils, he left. Su Yuan was extremely cautious.
Three days later.
The Forest of the Pig Demons returned to peace, and everything reverted to its original state.
At a certain moment.
A black shadow with a concealed figure emerged from underground.
The Old Demon of Mist Hide looked at the sky, saw no Formation ambush, and let out a big sigh of relief.
"I finally survived. After I go back, I must find out who leaked the secret! Damn it, there must be an undercover agent!"
He cursed a few times and took two steps.
His Divine Mind saw a few lines of text written on a large rock nearby.
He subconsciously used his Divine Mind to look at it.
[I am Realist Mist Hide. I leaked the Demon Sect's secrets, causing the Demon Sect's downfall and heavy losses. I am ashamed of the Demon Sect's cultivation and regret it! Regret it!]
The Old Demon of Mist Hide's face was as black as the bottom of a pot!
What scoundrel came up with such a low-level slander and framing method!
He hid in the corner, watching the stone with gloomy eyes.
No need to guess, there must be residual means on that stone. Once he chose to destroy it, it would definitely attract Spirit Transformation Cultivators to surround and annihilate him!
But if he just left like this, he would be unwilling in his heart.
He observed the surroundings for a long time but couldn't find any traces of Formations. The stone looked like an ordinary stone no matter how he looked at it, which made him extremely conflicted.
"What disgusting scoundrel is it! Malicious! Too malicious!" In his heart, the Old Demon of Mist Hide cursed this person profusely. If he didn't know the other party's name, he would definitely dig up their eighteen generations of ancestors and curse them!
"Hmph! I won't fall for it!"
Mist Hide's face sank, and he turned around and left directly.
After flying a distance, he saw another stone, also with writing on it.
[Coward! Trash! Just leave like this. As long as the green mountains are there, there's no fear of lacking firewood! Hahaha!]
Mist Hide's eyelid twitched. This was practically calling him out by name and scolding him!
Mist Hide sneered!
His concealment technique surpassed those of the same realm. To try and force him out with such childish methods was simply a joke.
He, a dignified Spirit Transformation old demon, would be provoked by these words?
The Old Demon of Mist Hide shook his head disdainfully, but he kept this malicious act in mind. Once his injuries recovered, he would definitely make this scoundrel...
Suddenly, a sword light slashed towards him!
The Old Demon of Mist Hide's face changed. He saw a Spirit Transformation Cultivator slashing towards his location!
The Old Demon of Mist Hide was forced to reveal his Divine Mind and quickly dodged the attack.
"Heh heh, you're actually here!" This Spirit Transformation Elder's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards the Old Demon of Mist Hide was very bright.
"Hmph!"
"Escape!"
The Old Demon of Mist Hide turned into a black shadow and instantly fled into the distance!
At this time, he was only left with his Divine Mind, his strength was less than one percent of its peak. However, the escape speed of a Divine Mind was also extremely fast. Without the burden of a Physical Body, it could burst out with a hundred times the speed. Although not sustainable, it was enough to evade pursuit!
He quickly pulled away.
Then he turned into a black mist and hid again.
At this time, his Divine Mind injuries worsened again, and the Divine Mind power within his body was consumed further.
He hid with a grim expression, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.
"Alas, I should have taken the opportunity to leave earlier. Who said the most dangerous place is the safest place? I was tricked!"
"I should have known not to look at that damn stone. This little trick actually made me stay for a while. My state of mind is still not good enough!"
Mist Hide sighed. He couldn't help but curse the guy who wrote the damn words again in his heart.
Suddenly, Mist Hide felt alarm bells ringing loudly in his heart!
Before he could react, a terrifying spear light continuously pierced through the earth, forcefully impaling the Old Demon of Mist Hide's Divine Mind.
"Divine Ability: Divine Mind Transformation into Mist!"
The Old Demon of Mist Hide's Divine Mind scattered into mist, a small portion dissipated completely, and the remaining part recondensed into the form of a Divine Mind.
Without a word, he once again used the Divine Mind escape technique, rapidly fleeing underground.
He continuously changed his position underground several times, but it was as if he was locked onto. He was constantly affected by the attacks, and at this moment, his Divine Mind was becoming increasingly weak!
Mist Hide had already realized that he was not far from death.
But before he died, he really wanted to know who knew their plan, and which scoundrel was the one who wrote the slanderous words!
When he escaped to a spot on the ground and saw a large stone, his heart sank again.
He saw written on the stone: [No path to heaven, no door to earth. This poor Taoist is Tianxing. Fellow Daoist, please prepare to die!]
"What? Tianxing?"
As his heart trembled, several attacks appeared around him, blasting the Old Demon of Mist Hide into nothingness.
The Old Demon of Mist Hide's Divine Mind dissipated, and a ring dropped out.
Several Spirit Transformation Cultivators appeared nearby, their expressions a bit strange.
"He died quite miserably."
"This counts as Ancestor Su's spoils of war. Let's send it back!"
Several Spirit Transformation Cultivators picked up the ring and returned towards the Seven Absolutes Sect.
A long time later.
At the location where the Old Demon of Mist Hide had initially hidden.
A black shadow appeared, recondensing into the Old Demon of Mist Hide's Nascent Soul. That's right, his Divine Mind had even devolved into a Nascent Soul.
But he was still not dead!
He stared at the stone that had slandered him initially and sneered, "You didn't expect this, did you? I still have the Cicada Shedding Its Shell Stratagem!"
Just then.
A powerful pressure instantly descended, freezing his already severely damaged Nascent Soul body in mid-air. His strength was once again suppressed to less than one percent.
The seven stars in the sky lit up. Starlight transformed into swords, descending from the heavens.
Boom!
A huge pit exploded on the ground.
The starlight lingered around for a while, confirming that the Old Demon of Mist Hide was completely dead before finally dissipating.
