One-way Transportation Formation
The Ghost Spirit Sect’s Shattered Soul did not come. Instead, this unfamiliar old man came. Han Li was naturally surprised.
However, to a large sect, using three Nascent Soul cultivators was a rare investment, but compared to the dangers of Devilfall Valley and so many treasure-hunting cultivators, they seemed to be insufficient. Could it be that the Ghost Spirit Sect had prepared a backup plan?
As Han Li pondered, the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators were busy at the entrance of the valley, as if they were setting up a huge array formation.
The nearby cultivators naturally didn’t bother them at this moment and were all watching coldly from the shadows.
The Moulan spell warriors had gathered together, and the scholar surnamed Zhong and the woman surnamed Le were conversing in low voices.
Han Li stared at the formation with a clear gaze and a calm expression.
But after a while, Han Li’s expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head to look at the sky with a trace of bewilderment.
Right at this moment, light flashed from the distant horizon and a blinding white streak of light suddenly appeared. It then shot forth like a bolt of lightning, scattering the clouds and mist in its path with astonishing momentum.
At that moment, the other cultivators also noticed this and raised their heads in surprise.
In the blink of an eye, the streak of white light arrived above the valley entrance, and the blinding white light receded to reveal an azure-robed old man with an expressionless face.
“Wei Wuya!”
“Why is he here?”
“Could it be that the Nine Nations Union is determined to obtain the treasures of Devilfall Valley?”
As soon as they saw the old man’s face, a commotion broke out among the hidden cultivators, and most of them were secretly alarmed. However, what was surprising was that after Wei Wuya appeared, he looked down indifferently and slowly landed in front of the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators.
When the gloomy middle-aged man saw this, a trace of a smile appeared on his gloomy face, and he cupped his hands in greeting.
“Brother Wei, you’ve finally arrived. I thought that Fellow Daoist had been delayed by something. If that’s the case, we’ll have to postpone entering the valley.”
“Since I’ve already promised Fellow Daoist Wang, I won’t change my mind so easily. It would be best if Fellow Daoist Wei’s words were true. If the item you mentioned doesn’t exist in the valley, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
Wei Wuya’s expression was cold, and he completely ignored the middle-aged cultivator’s smile.
This was to be expected. The Nine Nations Union and the Devil Dao were never on good terms to begin with.
“Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. I wouldn’t dare to deceive you, Brother Wei.” The middle-aged cultivator paid no heed to Wei Wuya’s impoliteness as he welcomed Wei Wuya with open arms.
This scene left the surrounding cultivators dumbstruck.
As the Grand Elder of the Nine Nations Union, no one would believe that Wei Wuya was actually involved with the Ghost Spirit Sect.
When Han Li saw this, he also frowned. If there was a conflict with the Ghost Spirit Sect in Devilfall Valley and Wei Wuya intervened, he would have no choice but to flee. This was far beyond his expectations.
Han Li thought for a moment and couldn’t help but look at Scholar Zhong.
If there were no other late-Nascent Soul cultivators intervening, these two would have the highest cultivation bases in Devilfall Valley.
This Divine Sage Moulan had her hands behind her back and was looking at Wei Wuya with a calm expression. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking. On the other hand, a hint of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the woman surnamed Le, who appeared rather surprised by Wei Wuya’s appearance.
Although Wei Wuya’s appearance had shocked many people, all the cultivators were still quietly watching the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators complete the formation bit by bit.
After half a day of effort, a huge spell formation that was over 1,000 feet in size gradually appeared in front of him.
Han Li looked at the spell formation. From the initial indifference, he gradually revealed a bewildered expression.
This spell formation seemed to be a part of an ancient teleportation formation that he had cultivated. However, there were some subtle differences. Some parts seemed to be simplified, while others were more complicated. It was clear that many of them had been modified.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and stared at the formation in silence.
Although his attainments in spell formations weren’t low, he was unable to see through the spell formation in such a hurry. He could only frown and ponder over something.
After another two hours, the formation was finally completed. Some Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators began to place mid-grade spirit stones of various attributes around the formation.
Wang Tiangu, who had been standing at the side, suddenly arrived at the center of the formation. He slapped his storage pouch and took out a jade box.
The middle-aged cultivator and the old man’s expressions remained unchanged. It seemed they knew what Wang Tiangu wanted to do.
He carefully opened the jade box to reveal a golden spirit stone.
The spirit stone shone with translucent light and released an astonishing wave of spiritual Qi.
“A high-grade spirit stone!” Someone recognized the crystal in the box and exclaimed.
When the other cultivators heard this, they were all greatly shocked.
When Han Li heard this, his expression also changed slightly.
The total amount of spiritual power contained in a high-grade spirit stone was only equivalent to over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones. In reality, not to mention exchanging over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones for a high-grade spirit stone, even exchanging over a thousand mid-grade spirit stones for a high-grade spirit stone was impossible in the cultivation world.
This strange phenomenon was entirely due to the astonishing spiritual energy of high-grade spirit stone mines, making them extremely easy to discover. They had already been completely mined in this world. The remaining high-grade spirit stones were only occasionally found in low-grade and mid-grade spirit stone mines, and they were extremely rare.
However, there were many powerful ancient spell formations and restrictions that required high-grade spirit stones to activate. Even if ordinary spell formations were activated with high-grade spirit stones, their power would increase by 30%. In a battle, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be able to replenish a large amount of spiritual power with a high-grade spirit stone.
As such, high-grade spirit stones were naturally extremely valuable, and as time passed, they became increasingly rare, almost extinct in the Heavenly South cultivation world.
As for the legendary top-grade spirit stones, they had disappeared from this world since the end of antiquity, so they could only exist in legends.
Seeing Wang Tiangu carefully place the high-grade metal-attribute spirit stone at the center of the formation, Han Li could not help but feel a little envious. He had killed so many cultivators, but he had never obtained a high-grade spirit stone. This showed how precious these high-grade spirit stones were.
Even if he were to intentionally search for one or two pieces in a market, it would only be a matter of fishing for the moon in the water. He wouldn’t be able to find anything.
After all, all of the high-grade spirit stones in the Heavenly South Region must’ve been collected by the great sects and clans as a last resort.
Now that the Ghost Spirit Sect had actually taken out this spirit stone, it seemed that they really attached great importance to the matter of Devilfall Valley. However, speaking of which, the Ghost Spirit Sect had obtained a large sum of spirit stones from selling the Devilfall Medallions this time. It didn’t seem to matter if they paid this bit of prince.
Wang Tiangu placed the high-grade spirit stone down and walked over to the middle-aged cultivator.
The middle-aged cultivator nodded and immediately gave an order. All of the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators withdrew from the formation and flipped their hands, each taking out a faint yellow formation flag. These cultivators had practiced countless times and immediately rose into the air, quickly forming a strange team above the formation. At the same time, the formation flags in their hands emitted a faint spiritual light as if they were ready to strike.
Could it be that this person was the Ghost Spirit Sect’s Master? Otherwise, why would Wang Tiangu treat him with such respect when his cultivation was similar to his own?
Han Li looked at the sinister-looking middle-aged cultivator and saw something. He could not help but mutter in his heart.
Right at this moment, black Qi suddenly swirled around the middle-aged cultivator’s body and he slowly rose into the air. After sweeping his gaze around him, he spoke.
“I’m Wang Tiansheng of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and I’m the humble sect master of the Ghost Spirit Sect. I don’t want to say any more nonsense. The path to enter the valley has already been arranged properly, and the spatial rifts have greatly decreased and stabilized. We can already enter the valley.
“This formation is a special teleportation formation that many of our Ghost Spirit Sect’s formation masters spent many years researching and developing. It can directly transport people from the entrance of the valley to a certain place in the outer valley of Devilfall Valley. It can be considered extremely convenient. However, because this formation is rather special, it requires high-grade metal-attribute spirit stones to activate. Our Ghost Spirit Sect spent a great deal of effort to obtain such a spirit stone, so the number of people we can transport is limited. Only those Fellow Daoists who possess the Devilfall Medallion can use this formation to teleport in regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic. Our sect will not be responsible for what happens afterwards.”
“However, there is one thing that I must make clear to everyone. This transportation formation is a one-way transportation formation, so the destination of the transportation formation isn’t fixed. Although the probability of this happening is small, it is possible that a person will be transported to a spatial tear in the valley. If something like this were to happen, then you can only blame yourself for lacking good fortune. Our sect is not responsible for this. After all, this transportation formation has yet to be completely developed and was only hastily completed in a hurry. Some risks are certain. Fellow Daoists who aren’t willing to take the risk can choose not to use our sect’s transportation formation.”
With that said, the middle-aged cultivator bluntly crossed his arms in the air and immediately added a sentence.
“Fellow Daoists without the Devilfall Medallion, don’t think of taking advantage of the situation. Our sect will only send everyone in at the end. The formation will also be destroyed at the same time.”
These words weren’t very loud, but they were clearly heard by everyone at the entrance of the valley, causing the surrounding cultivators to whisper amongst themselves. Some cultivators even began to use voice transmission techniques to carefully discuss the matter.
“Since we need a teleportation formation to enter, how are we going to leave? Could it be that we have to wait for your sect to set up another formation inside?” A younger voice couldn’t help but speak from within a forest, filled with doubt.
When this question was asked, many people secretly nodded, having the same question in their hearts. However, when Han Li heard this question, he sneered in his heart, as if he did not care at all.
Wang Tiansheng emotionlessly replied, “There is no need for Fellow Daoists to worry. According to what I know, there are many ancient restrictions in Devilfall Valley that don’t allow outsiders to enter. It is difficult to enter the valley, but there are many openings to leave. There are even several intact ancient transportation formations in the valley that can directly send people out of the valley. Leaving the valley is very simple.”
