Chapter 405 The Island Behind the Crack
This void passage in the Great Starry Sea has unparalleled strategic value for the Ancient Demon Court!
“No wonder the Ancient Demon Court valued the Sky-Bearing Demon King so much after he joined the court. This is the reason!”

"Only the Ancient Demon Court in the Eastern Land has found the passage to the Thirty-Six States?"

Zhang Qian suddenly asked.

"How is it possible? Michen Tianjing has found more passages. It is said that Michen Tianjing controls void passages leading to more than a dozen states. Many other forces also control one or two passages. However, there are too many large cracks in the East Pole. Moreover, as time goes by, more and more cracks continue to appear. There are also void passages in the newly appeared cracks. Over the years, the forces of the entire East China Sea have only explored a small part of the East Pole."

Niu Dali is very familiar with this information.

"Junior brother, let us out, let's search together. There are so many big cracks here, there must be one suitable for hiding."

Zhang Qian released Li Qingque and others from the Immortal Palace as he said. Li Qingque and others followed Zhang Qian's method and threw pieces of ore that concealed their spiritual consciousness behind the cracks to explore the situation behind the cracks.

Because the lair of the Ancient Demon Court was in the north, everyone moved forward while searching towards the south. Fortunately, they robbed the Ancient Demon Court's property this time and obtained countless ores for refining, otherwise the ores would not be enough just to explore these cracks.

As time went by, the group slowly advanced tens of thousands of miles and explored nearly tens of thousands of large cracks, but found nothing. Behind most of these large cracks were some dead ends, or a vast void, a void without even air.

Not to mention using it to hide, it is impossible to survive inside.

If you are not an immortal or god, you cannot survive in the starry sky. This is a place of nothingness, and only those who are at the level of immortals or gods can survive in it. If Zhang Qian and others go in, they will suffocate to death.

Zhang Qian explored these large cracks not just to find a hiding place, but more importantly, he wanted to find a place to establish a foundation. He now needed a huge amount of luck, and the best way to gather luck was to establish a sect. If he could find a large crack with a secret realm or ruins behind it, Zhang Qian would be very satisfied.

But this small request is not so easy to achieve.

Although there are many secret places or ruins behind these large cracks, finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It all depends on luck.

What surprised Zhang Qian was that along the way, he saw more and more claw-mark-shaped cracks. These large claw-mark-shaped cracks made him more and more confused.

“These paw print-shaped cracks don’t seem to be formed naturally, but are man-made!”

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and what made Zhang Qian and his companions breathe a sigh of relief was that the powerful people of Michen Tianjing seemed to have given up chasing them and did not come to the Dongji area. This time, it was the Taikoo Demon Court that suffered the loss, and Michen Tianjing was not a force of the Taikoo Demon Court, so how could it really try its best to chase them? After Zhang Qian and his companions entered the Dongji area, the powerful people of Michen Tianjing gave up and returned to Dinghai Mountain on Bahuang Island and spread the news. Relying on the power of Michen Tianjing, the news was known to all the major forces in the East China Sea within a few days.

Zhang Qian did not hide his identity, and his information was also found out by Michen Tianjing.

At this moment, there were countless people in the East China Sea looking for him. Most of the cultivators were looking for the Jianhu Palace treasure that he was rumored to have taken away. This time, he was so bold as to rob the properties on the four islands of the Taikoo Demon Court. It could be said that he really became a human-shaped treasure house, and countless people were tempted.

Zhang Qian had no idea about this news. On this day, they were gradually approaching the border between the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

There are more cracks here, and Zhang Qian and his team did not explore all the cracks along the way. This is simply impossible.

hum!
Suddenly, the gem in Zhang Qian's storage bag moved.

After taking out the orb, Shui Qingsi's voice rang out from the orb: "Zhang Qian? Did you rob the ancient demon court's assets on Bahuang Island?"

"How did you know?" Zhang Qian did not hide it, but was just wondering how Shui Qingsi knew it so quickly.

"This matter has spread almost everywhere in the East China Sea. I don't know how many people are looking for your whereabouts now. Even the Michen Tianjing and the Taikoo Demon Court have joined forces to offer a huge reward. You are really bold. As soon as you came to the East China Sea, you provoked two major forces, especially the Michen Tianjing. They are not easy to mess with!" Shui Qingsi's tone was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, they can't find me, Water Tribe Leader. Under the current circumstances, I can't go to Mermaid Island. Otherwise, it will only cause trouble for you. If anyone asks about you, just say that I'm in the East Pole and let them find me!"

The land of Dongji is full of dangers. It is impossible to fly through the void in such a place with countless void cracks. One can only fly slowly. Zhang Qian is not afraid of being caught here.

"Easternmost Land? Why did you go there? Well, you have to be careful. If you need me, just ask. Don't be polite to me."

"Okay, Water Tribe Leader, take care of yourself too."

After putting away the pearl, Zhang Qian shook his head slightly. He was considered famous in the East China Sea. After leaving Jianhu Palace, he had no intention of hiding his identity anymore. He did not intend to continue hiding his identity.

"Zhang Qian, come here quickly!"

Zhan Taixuan suddenly shouted excitedly. Zhang Qian flew over and saw Zhan Taixuan taking a look. He saw Zhan Taixuan retrieving a piece of ore from an inconspicuous crack not far away!
The key point is that after this piece of ore passed through the crack, it remained intact!

"This...! You found it!"

Zhan Taixuan nodded, and Zhang Qian hurriedly probed his spiritual sense towards the crack.

brush!
His spiritual consciousness entered the crack without any hindrance, and the scene behind the crack surprised him.

Behind the crack was a pitch-black void, in which floated a huge island, which was covered by a round formation.

The entire formation wrapped the island tightly, and an air of eternal desolation emanated from the island. What surprised Zhang Qian even more was that even though this long island was covered by the formation, waves of terrifying vitality swept out, as if the entire island was the source of life!

"This island!"

Suddenly, Zhang Qian's pupils shrank slightly. He found that the shape of this long island was a bit strange. After looking at it carefully for a while, he said in a lost voice: "This is a piece of wood! This island is actually made of a branch!"

Regular bark textures can be seen under the island. Through these textures, Zhang Qian is very confident that this huge island is made up of a terrifying branch!
"Could it be a branch of the World Tree?"

Zhang Qian's heart moved. This island contained a terrifying vitality, and the texture of the bark under the island made him think more.

"This is indeed a branch of mine! I never thought that after so many years it would turn into an island and even automatically generate a large formation!"

The majestic sound of the World Tree suddenly rang out from behind Zhan Taixuan, and an immortal seed emerged.

"World Tree, you..."

"Don't be surprised. I have already refined the immortal demon bones of the Catastrophe Demon Emperor into an incarnation. But now is not the time to act. This immortal seed sensed a very familiar aura, so I came to take a look."

This immortal seed of Zhan Taixuan was originally the immortal root given to her by the World Tree. It was also the foundation of Zhan Taixuan's cultivation. The World Tree could naturally bring its own Taoism here.
