Chapter 787 - 572: Inverse Seal of the Secret Realm
Chapter 787: Chapter 572: Inverse Seal of the Secret Realm
The howling wind roared, mixed with some sand and dust!
The Yellow Sand Incarnation of the Mountain Spirit was once again slashed apart by Ye Jingcheng with a single sword, transforming into flowing yellow sand, shattering all over the ground.
However, the Yellow Sand Incarnation quickly reappeared.
And continued to charge towards Ye Jingcheng.
On the desolate mountaintop, everyone looked at Ye Jingcheng, as if they understood something, and their pace slowed down.
Although they did not speak, they all began to feel suspicious.
This treasure retrieval seemed too smooth.
Just having one person hold it back was enough to retrieve the treasure, so what was the point of the sect inheritance?
Jun Buhui knew that six people could break the array, so naturally, Jun Buhui had been here before. Then why did his companion die?
This was inherently a paradox.
So Lin Fuqing, Lady Chen, Qiu Yongtai, and Bai Xiaosheng all looked towards Jun Buhui, needing an explanation.
Even Qiu Yongtai, who was at the forefront, did not go to the pavilion.
Moreover, everyone noticed that at some point, Big Mouth Li and Jun Buhui had already enclosed the four of them.
This was clearly to prevent the four from escaping.
“Everyone, why are you all looking at me like this? I made a Heavenly Dao Oath!” Jun Buhui was somewhat angry and embarrassed, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Upon hearing this, Lady Chen withdrew downward, her body slightly veering away from Big Mouth Li.
As long as Big Mouth Li showed the slightest sign of stopping her, it was a conspiracy.
Even if he ended up without the treasure, he wasn’t afraid. After all, surviving was more important than the treasure.
Lin Fuqing and Qiu Yongtai were still hesitant, indeed thinking that Jun Buhui couldn’t possibly break a Heavenly Dao Oath.
Heavenly Dao Oath not only spawns a Heart Demon Tribulation but also makes one unable to cultivate, leading to a lifetime of ruin.
But at that moment, the mountain suddenly trembled.
Yellow rays of light filled the sky, and around everyone, no less than six incarnations gathered.
This incarnation, compared to the one facing Ye Jingcheng earlier, was much more refined, and its aura instantly rose from the Early Stage of Purple Mansion to the Middle Stage.
It was covered with Treasure Light and Armor Light, even stronger than the Mountain Spirit Incarnation in Jun Buhui’s Jade Talisman.
Crucially, there were more Mountain Spirit Incarnations.
And they could instantly move within the mountain.
The six incarnations attacked the four, their bodies capable of appearing anywhere using the land.
Incredibly eerie.
Realizing this, the group leapt into the air, attempting to soar into the sky.
However, standing on this mountain body, they were already subject to terrifying gravity.
As they ascended, this gravity became stronger.
Clearly, besides the Mountain Spirit’s weird abilities, there was also an array enhancing it here.
This shocked the four greatly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The four could only hastily take out their magical treasures to barely defend against it.
The only slightly better news was that at this moment, Jun Buhui didn’t make a move inside, but rushed toward Ye Jingcheng.
But the situation on the field was still extremely dire. Even though everyone had several Defense Treasures, they couldn’t withstand the attacks for long.
The Mountain Spirit’s incarnations attacked like unparalleled body cultivators, like waves against the crowd.
The countless fist shadows alone were enough to make them despair.
Among them, Bai Xiaosheng was slightly better off, facing only one incarnation, while Qiu Yongtai and Lin Fuqing both faced two.
Although Lady Chen was in a slightly better situation, Big Mouth Li was behind her.
He sneered:
“Finally, I can have some Spiritual Cuisine!”
The group’s hearts shook again, clearly realizing Big Mouth Li referred to making Spiritual Cuisine from a cultivator’s flesh.
They further connected what Jun Buhui and Big Mouth Li said, clearly indicating a premeditated collaboration.
Ye Jingcheng was not too surprised by this scene.
This Secret Realm treasure hunt was full of deception.
The only consolation was that Jun Buhui only targeted those at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, not calling on Middle Stage cultivators, suggesting they also feared unexpected events.
Moreover, under the Heavenly Dao Oath, the inheritances and treasures should indeed be real.
It was just that either the Mountain Spirit had betrayed the loyal sect, or the Mountain Spirit was originally Jun Buhui’s Spirit Pet.
Everything was Jun Buhui’s attempt to gain advantage without initial cost.
Naturally, everyone had a Spirit Inquiry Talisman monitoring secretly, unable to detect anything.
Ye Jingcheng slowly retreated, without any intention of immediately saving others.
These were people neither kin nor friend to him, and he wouldn’t be foolish enough to risk exposing himself by saving them.
After all, the Ye Family stood behind him, along with the hopes of nearly a million people.
His gaze fell on the Secret Realm Entrance, where a giant Golden Bell Treasure had already descended, evidently to prevent Ye Jingcheng from escaping that way.
“I really want to know, how did you figure it out!” Jun Buhui’s voice coldly asked.
“I also want to know if you, Jun Daoist, are the master of the Mountain Spirit or its servant?” Ye Jingcheng replied, unhurriedly.
“Hahaha, what does Ye Daoist think?” Jun Buhui retorted, his hands behind his back, clearly brewing something.
Yet Ye Jingcheng was not in a hurry, but his lack of urgency did not mean that the other cultivators weren’t anxious!
“Ye Daoist, cover us as we break out! I am a clandestine member of the Qing Family of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association. My real name is Qing Xinwei. If you can save me, I am willing to pay a price that will satisfy Ye Daoist!” Suddenly, Lady Chen roared from afar.
At this moment, she was fending off attacks from the Yellow Sand Divinity Transformation while being bombarded by Big Mouth Li’s two gigantic Meteor Hammers. She was truly at her wit’s end!
Were it not for her Shield Treasure and two automatic Qian Ring Treasures flying out, she would have been gravely injured or even fallen.
Lin Fuqing and Qiu Yongtai in the distance were in even worse shape.
They were all transmitting sound, agreeing with her, and even some were secretly messaging Ye Jingcheng, promising any conditions if he could save them.
Ye Jingcheng did not respond at all; he merely took another step back, which made Jun Buhui somewhat furious!
He wanted to charge out.
But then he saw Ye Jingcheng step onto the ground once more, and from who knows when, several Array Banners began to rise, forming an array that wrapped towards Jun Buhui.
This scene left Jun Buhui utterly baffled.
He was an Array Master himself, yet he hadn’t noticed when Ye Jingcheng had set up these Array Banners.
Luckily, he hadn’t been idle either; he was also casting two Spirit Techniques, connecting with several Array Banners to transform into a giant Silver Tower Array.
When the two arrays collided, the commotion was no less than that of a battle between Purple Mansion cultivators!
“I admit, I underestimated you!” Jun Buhui grew anxious, as Ye Jingcheng was flying toward the Spirit Sect in the sky.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng was wearing the Unyielding Spirit Armor, which seemed extremely extraordinary at first glance!
“But this ends here!”
A Spirit Pattern on Jun Buhui’s body flashed with Spiritual Aura, fully displaying his Late Stage of Purple Mansion cultivation.
His entire body started to emit blood-red light.
He was actually an Evil Cultivator.
In his hands, two Blood Claws reached for the back of Ye Jingcheng at an incredible speed, but the Unyielding Spirit Armor erupted as well, transforming into a gigantic Turtle Shell surrounding Ye Jingcheng.
Clang!
The sound of a violent collision echoed, though the giant Turtle Shell Spirit Shadow shrank considerably, the two Blood Claws returned in vain.
“You’re at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion?” Jun Buhui was shocked again because, according to his information, Ye Jingcheng was only at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion.
But Ye Jingcheng’s concealment was so deep; he definitely wasn’t just hiding himself but also the Taiyi Sect.
After all, much of the information about Ye Jingcheng came from the Taiyi Sect.
Such a cultivator is fearsome, and what’s most astonishing about Ye Jingcheng is his age.
After all, Ye Jingcheng is not even eighty years old!
For a Foundation Establishment Clan to have a Middle Stage Purple Mansion cultivator under eighty years old, if this were to spread, the entire Eastern Domain would be shaken.
The next moment, Jun Buhui’s pupils contracted slightly, anger rising in his eyes.
Ye Jingcheng did not continue to prepare another attack after his initial one but instead seemed poised to charge toward the Giant Bell, intending to lift the Yellow Bell and make his escape.
“Don’t even think about it!” shouted Jun Buhui angrily, throwing two Array Banners into the void, manifesting two colossal Spiritual Light Hands aiming for Ye Jingcheng.
With a “boom,” Ye Jingcheng used a cyan-colored Mirror Treasure to fix the Spiritual Light Hands in mid-air.
…
While Ye Jingcheng blocked the attacks, Lin Fuqing looked incredulously at his own chest, seeing an old, black hand with sharp Corpse Claws at the end protruding from it.
He turned around to see Bai Xiaosheng’s grinning face.
He wanted to speak but had no chance left.
This was an earth-shattering conspiracy; in the entire Cultivation Realm, evil cultivators were deliberately laying down inheritances to lure loose cultivators.
They used to teach their younger generation about this, but today, he didn’t anticipate that upon reaching the Purple Mansion, he would fall into such a trap.
Tricked both by Jun Buhui and Bai Xiaosheng.
“Daoist Bai, you’re crazy. The three of us barely have any Spirit Stones or treasures. Working with Jun Buhui, you’ll end up dead sooner or later!” Qiu Yongtai shouted.
But his shout seemed so powerless, as there was gravity imposed within the Mountain Spirit’s domain where he had delved the deepest. Now with Lin Fuqing dead, he had to face five Purple Mansion combatants alone.
He didn’t expect that his first encounter with the Mountain Spirit would lead him to fall prey to its strange techniques.
Unlike Lin Fuqing and Qiu Yongtai’s situation, Lady Chen, worthy of being a hidden member of the Qing Family, finally took out two mysterious Blood Talismans and escaped from the periphery.
In the end, only Big Mouth Li pursued her, as the influence range of the Mountain Spirit was evidently limited.
Outside that range, its power was indeed considerably weakened, giving her a sense of surviving a great ordeal.
Especially seeing the distant Ye Jingcheng, whose combat power was significantly higher than she had imagined, and who had already reached the entrance of the Secret Realm at this moment, capable of opening it to leave at any moment.
It made her feel a sudden surge of hope.
However, in the next moment, to her bewilderment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly tossed a familiar Spirit Bowl onto the Secret Realm entrance.
Clearly, Ye Jingcheng was not opening the Secret Realm but rather occupying the gateway himself.
“Not good!” Jun Buhui was already extremely close to Ye Jingcheng, worried he would escape.
Then he saw Ye Jingcheng run his hand over the Spirit Beast Bag.
Various Spiritual Lights appeared at the end of the Secret Realm, completely obscuring Ye Jingcheng’s figure!
A colossal Four-tailed Demon Fox with crimson fur flickered in three-colored flames!
The dazzling bright golden Golden Falcon Roc soared high into the Secret Realm like a golden Feather Sword!
The Five-Colored Cloud Deer, with its massive Cloud Wings, shimmered brightly with extraordinary Spiritual Light!
Then, the gigantic golden Golden Scale Beast, like a Qilin Spirit Shadow.
Finally, the massive sinister white Giant Flood Dragon, with a gaping maw!
