Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 286 – Charging the Array (continued)

Yan Zhong’s pillar of essence smoke soared into the sky, and intense spirit energy ripples reverberated in the entire outer space of the underground cave, and practically all the cultivators who stayed in the cave sensed it in that instant.

Wang Yuan, who was stationed near the rocks, listened to his subordinate’s report. His expression was full of surprise and bewilderment, “That shouldn’t be possible, even if my nephew is an array master, he wouldn’t be able to bring everyone into the stone forest right?”

Senior Martial Brother Wu shook his head, “I don’t know about that. In short, there’s no one else at the cave. I noticed that Zhou Bi Cheng hasn’t come back yet and thought that your nephew is not an array master, so I went to take a look!”

Wang Yuan secretly cursed, and said: “Damn it, what the hell are you doing!”

Just then, a violent disturbance of spiritual qi came from the direction of the stone forest. Wang Yuan and Senior Wu could clearly feel the aura contained within the turmoil of the spiritual qi.

Wang Yuan turned his head and asked, “There aren’t any other Great Perfection cultivators that have entered the Cold Wind Great Formation, right?”

Senior Brother Wu shook his head, Wang Yuan said: “It should be the one from Tan Xi Sect that couldn’t help but want to go in, he cannot possibly bring everyone in, look, find the rest of the people from Tan Xi Sect, this time their people are the fattest, taking advantage of that old man breaking into the array, and snatching everything they have!”

Senior Martial Brother Wu complied. Just as he was about to lead his people away, he turned around and said, “Junior Martial Brother Wang, do you think that the two sides have secretly joined hands? Your nephew just arrived and the Tan Xi Sect is already setting up a formation. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence? Furthermore, Liu Zhifei’s people at the cave suddenly disappeared.

“Yeah, what a coincidence!” Wang Yuan squinted his eyes, and said: “No matter what, even if both sides were to join hands, it would be impossible to bring all the people with different cultivations into the stone forest, the remaining people will definitely go and hide, find them first!”

The moment the light screen closed, Yang Junshan’s entire being slipped out like a snake. The instant he landed, he saw the Heaven-Shaken Sect and his side facing each other, and seeing that Yang Junshan had snuck in, the hostile atmosphere dissipated.

Yan Zhong stared at Yang Junshan from head to toe, then suddenly praised: “Little friend, you are still young, you should not have expected your body to be so tough, refining the skin and meat, altering the tendons and bones, cleansing the marrow and strengthening the internal organs, little friend Yang, you will be able to use the snake form, all the tendons and bones around your body will be stretched and broken, it seems like you are using a middle tier fist technique everyday!”

Yang Junshan did not explain anymore and cupped his hands and said: “Senior is knowledgeable!”

Liu Zhifei coughed lightly and asked: “Xiao Yang, what should we do next?”

After passing through the Five Elements halo, everyone had entered the Five Elements Great Array. Although they were at the outer perimeter of the array, Yang Junshan raised his head to look, only to see a quiet stone forest, as though there was no danger.

Zhang Sunxing explained from the side: “This stone forest itself is a natural maze, and now that Spiritual Master Sunset has embedded the Five Elements Formation into the stone forest, there’s a formation within the array. Even if we block the killing of the Five Elements Formation, if we get lost inside the stone forest, it means that the various divine abilities and techniques of the Five Elements Formation will continue to descend, and the consumption will exhaust us to death!”

In fact, although everyone was still at the edge of the array, they had already used the power of the array to suppress the flow of the spirit energy in their bodies, the effects were not obvious, and the few of them were all highly regarded by their respective sects, even Yang Junshan had polished his cultivation till it was dense, so he did not care about the loss of this bit of spirit energy.

Yang Junshan muttered to himself: “If it’s as Brother Zhangsun said, then this Five Elements Great Array uses the five elements source of light as its array foundation, then I wonder if you guys have cultivated a similar spirit technique, and what type of spirit technique is it?”

After Yang Junshan asked this question, he noticed that everyone’s expression was wooden, so he explained: “I am unintentionally spying on everyone’s divine abilities and secret techniques, but if someone has cultivated this kind of ability, then it will be beneficial for us to break through the array!”

Seeing that there was still hesitation on the person’s face, Yang Junshan snapped his fingers, and a small circle of yellow spirit light intertwined at the tip of his finger, following that, he swiped his finger, causing the spirit light to spread outwards, and then gradually dissipate. But in that moment, the formation that was consuming everyone’s spirit energy suddenly disappeared, although it reappeared very quickly, but everyone was able to sense it.

Seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, Yang Junshan laughed: “I guess everyone has already sensed it, although the similar sacred art cannot compare to the five elements source spirit, but it can still be considered the same source spirit, at least it can greatly reduce the impact of the formation power on us. Now that we are in a dangerous situation, if we do not work together, even if I am not the same, senior will find it hard to protect himself with my high cultivation level!”

Zhang Sunxing was startled when he used the magnetic light, and after he heard Yang Junshan speak, he asked impatiently: “You are training with the magnetic light?”

Yang Junshan’s face revealed a look of surprise, and laughed: “So it turns out that Zhang Sunxing knows my spirit techniques and abilities.”

Zhang Sunxing had been paying attention to the expression on Yang Junshan’s face the entire time, and seeing that, he laughed: “To tell you the truth, the original protective array of my Changsun Family is the great array of the magnetic light!”

Yang Junshan laughed: “Oh, what a coincidence, I am truly proficient in this great formation!”

Yang Junshan’s relaxed response actually caused Zhang Sunxing’s original suspicions to become a little uncertain. On the other hand, Yan Qinxi and Fang Xuansheng, who were at the side, had different gazes towards Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan looked at the others again. The Five Elements Divine Light was ranked high in the top three thousand Spirit Arts in the cultivation world, so it was quite difficult to cultivate. Furthermore, there were different inheritances, so he had no idea how many of these six had cultivated before.

Others might not know, but he knew that Yan Qinxi must have cultivated a type of Divine Light Divine Ability. This was because he had seen her use an extremely sharp golden light slashing technique back in the Nanxuan swamp.

Sure enough, Yan Qinxi stood out and said: “I am training in the Tan Xi Sect’s secret spirit art, the White Golden Light Slash, but I am not proficient in it yet, if Brother Yang can use it, I will help myself.”

The moment Yan Qinxi’s words fell, Zhang Yueming also said: “Brother Yang, I also havechnique called the Aurora Shield, but it’s a pure defensive divine ability, I wonder if it can be used?”

Yang Junshan was surprised, and said: “Aurora Shield? I never would have thought that Brother Zhang would actually be able to learn this technique, which is one of the top ten divine abilities in the spirit rank defensive technique. With this divine ability, I’m afraid even a cultivator of the late stage of martial arts realm would be able to withstand Brother Zhang’s attack! ”

Zhang Yueming promptly waved his hand, and said: “It’s just a life-saving technique, it’s nothing compared to that life-threatening technique. Just like this Tan Xi Sect’s Miss Yan’s Great White Gold Beheader, which is also one of the top 30 divine abilities in the Three Thousand Spirit Arts, how many cuts can I block with this Aurora Shield?”

Yan Qinxi coldly snorted, Yang Junshan “Heh heh” but did not say anything. Compared to attack, defense and attack skills were at a natural disadvantage, and being suppressed and beaten without retaliating, how could there still be no reason to not be broken?

Not to mention that Yan Qinxi’s cultivation could not compare to Zhang Yueming, even if the two of them were of similar strength, a battle between experts would only take place in a blink of an eye.

Yang Junshan did not want to start a conflict between the two sects, so he clapped his hands and laughed: “The situation seems to be better than what I expected, at least we have gathered all three powers, although it is only in the Earth and Gold series, but I am confident that we can go a little deeper in the stone forest.”

Finished, Yang Junshan headed towards the depths of the forest, everyone followed him immediately.

Previously, the edges of the formation were still fine, but now that they were deep inside the stone forest, the flow of spiritual energy around their bodies became even more chaotic. Moreover, the chaotic flow of spiritual energy was constantly disrupting the cultivators’ own capture of spiritual energy, and instead caused the spiritual energy within the cultivator’s body to become volatile. At first, everyone was able to forcefully restrain the spiritual energy with the help of their own cultivation techniques, but gradually, everyone discovered that even so, it became increasingly difficult to restrict the spiritual energy flowing in their bodies.

But at this time, he could also tell the strength of everyone’s cultivation technique as well as whether they were all cultivating themselves. Zhang Sunxing was unable to persevere any longer, although his cultivation was the same as Fang Xuansheng and Yan Qinxi, but he was still a bit weaker, and the speed at which his spirit energy was leaking had already started to affect the circulation of his own cultivation technique. Thus, he could not help but seek help from Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan made the first move. The magnetic light transformed into a golden halo of light, enveloping Zhang Sunxing’s body. The originally chaotic flow of spirit energy was isolated outside the sphere of light, and the spirit energy released by his body immediately decreased.

Zhang Sunxing hurriedly expressed his thanks, but Yang Junshan said: “I’m afraid that this divine ability of mine can only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn on Brother Zhangsun’s body, if it was Senior Liu or Senior Yan, they would have lasted longer, and as we continue to go deeper into the array, the restraining force of the five elements on the spirit energy in my body grew stronger, and the duration would be shortened!”

Under Yang Junshan’s lead, the group once again went deeper into the forest for another few dozen meters. Yan Zhong suddenly opened his mouth and said: “That’s not right, we are already more than thirty meters deep into the forest?”

Yang Junshan laughed and said, “Of course not. The entire underground stone forest is only so big, if we were to really go deeper a few dozen meters, I’m afraid that they would already be very close to the center area of the stone forest.”

Zhang Sunxing, who was at the back, heard and said: “Doesn’t that mean we are already affected by the array?”

Everyone looked at Yang Junshan, because he had always been leading the way, but they saw Yang Junshan smiling: “Calm down everyone, we are trying our best to penetrate the array and do not want to break it. Honestly speaking, I do not have the ability to break the Five Elements Formation, as if we were climbing a mountain.

Now that they were in a formation, other than trusting Yang Junshan, the only formation master they had left, there seemed to be nothing else they could do. However, Yang Junshan was currently able to perceive that Yan Zhong’s gaze was focused on his back from time to time, and a faintly discernible Qi was constantly locking onto his surroundings.

Not only Yan Zhong, even the people from the Heaven-Shaken Sect s were wary of him at this time. Yang Junshan had long since been prepared for this, and at such an occasion, no one would be willing to place their lives and possessions completely on a single person.
