Chapter 710 – Golden Lock
“Brother, according to your estimation, how far away are we from the core region of the forbidden array?”
Although Zhuge Wuyu had advanced into the realms of life, his strength was not too high. If not for him being second only to Spiritual Master Zhuge Wuqing in the Dao of arrays, it would have been hard for him to advance to the realms of life back then.
However, since the Heaven-Shaking Peak has collapsed, it might take some effort to find it. However, this requires Dao Friend An’s help, because the Mysterious Ji Sect’s treasure, the Seven Stars Sinan, has the miraculous ability of searching for exposed spirit veins, so although the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s spirit energy channels are split into several main meridians, and they become more scattered because of the collapse of the mountain, the forbidden array still exists. This means that among all of the scattered spirit veins, there is still the largest one that has not been scattered.
An Taiqing laughed, “Mister Zhuge, don’t worry, compared to finding the forbidden array’s ancient array patterns, the Mysterious Gate is more concerned about the spirit vein resources that cover all of Heaven-Shaking Peak. As long as you two can give us half of the spirit veins and spirit rivers that you have found, I am satisfied!”
Sage Zhuge Wuqing smiled and said, “Fellow An, you have been friends with me, Zhuge, for oveundred years. How can you not trust me, Zhuge Wuqing?”
Daoist Master An waved his hand and smiled, “Mister Zhuge, you’re overthinking it, I’m just a little curious. Although I’m not proficient in the Dao of arrays, I know that the forbidden array has an ‘unknown’ reputation in the Dao of arrays.
“What Wuqing has asked for in his life is nothing more than to lay down a Dao-level formation and become a grandmaster of formations!”
Daoist Master Zhuge Wuqing did not conceal his ambition. “I believe that Fellow Daoist An is aware of my Zhuge family’s Eight Golden Lock Formations?”
Spiritual Master An immediately said solemnly, “Of course it’s like thunder piercing the ears. After the successful setup of the eight golden lock magic formations, with the support of Spiritual Master Zhuge, it can be said that the Yuzhou’s number one treasure formation was never an exaggeration!”
“Fellow An is too kind. Speaking of the Yuzhou’s number one treasure formation, that Young Master Yang’s Five Elements Lightning Light Treasure formation is also the best in Yuzhou!”
“However, my Zhuge family’s Golden Lock Array has indeed reached the peak of the Treasure rank array. If we want to go one step further, we can only pass the last threshold and become the Eight Trigrams Golden Gate Array, which is the wish and obsession of all the previous generation of formation masters in the Zhuge family. We know that in this generation of Wuqing, the Heaven-Shaking Peak has been destroyed and the forbidden array enveloped the entire crumbling Heaven-Shaking Peak, allowing Wuqing to see the hope of his family’s formation being promoted to the Dao array.”
Adept An said in surprise, “Oh, so the forbidden array actually has such a divine effect?”
Daoist Master Zhuge Wuqing said with a smile, “Along our journey, we’ve consecutively broken six restriction barriers. How does Daoist Master An think of every restriction space in the forbidden array?”
Daoist Master An thought for a moment and said, “Indeed, it is marvelous. If it weren’t for us being able to travel with the other two Daoist Masters, I’m afraid we would not have been able to reap a lot!”
“Eight golden gates have been opened in unison, and each has its own array space, but there is still a Gate of Life, Gate of View and Gate of Opening that equates to being unharmed, and the eight gates are all estranged from each other, and there is still a weakness of the eight gates being attacked by the enemy, if I am able to obtain the profound mysteries of the forbidden array, then the drawbacks of the eight gates would definitely be solved, and once the eight golden gates are raised to become a Eight Trigrams Golden Gate, then the eight gates would become illusory, and you would be the one of the eight gates.”
Upon hearing this, Daoist Master An was dumbfounded as he repeatedly exclaimed, “Miraculous! Miraculous! If this formation can be completed, then the Zhuge Family can settle down in the Yuzhou’s cultivation world as they wish!”
The Zhuge brothers looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes showed that they were determined to win.
“This is?”
Yang Junhao was at a loss when faced with the door which was covered with an exquisite array formation that was completely destroyed, so he did not know what to do.
“This should be the location of the treasury of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Artifact Forging Hall. It seems like my previous guess isn’t wrong. The Heaven-Shaken Sect disciple who died in battle in that restricted space earlier was probably killed to protect the treasury of this Artifact Forging Hall.”
Yang Junshan had once followed Ouyang Xulin to the outskirts of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Artifact Forging Hall, but he had seen it before.
Yang Junhao said dejectedly: “It’s sucity, originally I thought I could obtain a few more spirit artifacts, but looking at the situation now, I’m afraid that all the treasures inside have already been plundered right?”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed. Even if no one discovered this place, the Heaven-Shaken Sect was still at its peak, so it was impossible for there to be dozens of spirit artifacts stored here.
Spiritual Master Lin Canghai laughed, “No matter what, we have to go inside and take a look, no?”
Broken restrictions were everywhere, and the secret caves used to store resources or artifacts were being destroyed. The treasure chests that were opened and pushed open, the broken stones all over the ground, the Jade Coinhat were scattered everywhere, the broken artifacts, spirit materials thrown everywhere, and a thick layer of dust. All in all, it was a scene of complete disorder.
After a brief inspection, Adept Chang Li was the first to speak: “Looks like there wasn’t just one sect’s cultivators that rushed here back then. These protective magical equipment restrictions that were forcefully broken indicate that there are at least three to four styles that came from different sects.”
Yang Junshan laughed, “It’s also no wonder that the tens of Martial Realm Cultivator in the upper level of the seal space were all slaughtered so easily. When the cultivators join forces, they could form at least three to five large Dao-Soldiers Formation, and even if one or two of them work together, as long as they do not possess Profound Constellation Realm, it might not be impossible to defend against them.
“Yi, it seems that the various sects’ cultivators are in a hurry to visit this place. There are actually two secret caves that are sealed by restrictions.”
Adept Qiyang’s voice came out from a corner of the treasury.
“I also found some boxes that haven’t been opened yet. There are over twenty types of refined and purified spirit materials inside, and they are all materials of the spirit rank!” Yang Junhao’s voice carried a trace of excitement.
The Adept Qing Feng coughed lightly and said, “I have also discovered something here. There is a large stone shelf here witotal of thirteen magical equipment. However, these magical equipment have not been nurtured by true essence for decades, I wonder how many can still be preserved!”
Magic treasures had a lot of intelligence, and a cultivator’s own true essence was responsible for nurturing them. Without spiritual energy for a long period of time, these magic treasures would lose their spiritual energy, drop their grade, or even turn into an ordinary object.
Spiritual Master Lin Canghai, on the other hand, looked at the fragments of the treasures on the ground and said, “There are at least ten fragments of the treasures here. It’s sucity.”
The two secret caves that the Adept Qiyang had discovered had obviously been protected by the secret techniques of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Even though dozens of years had passed, the quality of one middle grade spirit artifact and one low grade spirit artifact were not affected at all, but out of the thirteen spirit artifacts that the Adept Qing Feng had found, four had already become ordinary objects due to the loss of their spirituality. Out of the remaining nine spirit artifacts, three of them had been reduced in grade due to the loss of their spirituality.
“It seems that the cultivators that entered this place were in a hurry to leave. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have any magic treasures left, let alone a Spirit Treasure!”
Yang Junshan said: “Let’s go, to the next layer of restricted space to take a look. Since this is the Artifact Forging Hall’s treasury for refining completed treasures, then I believe that the Artifact Forging Hall is not too far away, hopefully, the collapsed mountain did not bring the Artifact Forging Hall to other places.”
The former concerned the speed at which the cultivation of cultivators progressed, while the latter directly affected the strength of the cultivators. Aesult, regardless of which sect or sect they belonged to, they would have to go through the most difficult of the two, to the limit with their resources, not to mention that a renowned sect like the Heaven-Shaken Sect, which had existed for thousands of years in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou, had a rich and profound heritage that far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. If they could directly use it as their own, then they would have no difference in inheriting all their accumulated resources.
Of course, this was only the ideal situation, after all, Heaven-Shaken Sect had already experienced a robbery before, how much of it there was left would all depend on luck.
However, the toughness of the sixth restriction barrier was beyond Yang Junshan’s expectations.
“Directly using a formation to break through the seal is too slow. It will take at least half a day to do so!”
Yang Junshan said that he and the three formation masters had set up a supporting array formation around the barrier to prevent the barrier from being attacked. At the same time, he instructed, “Senior Qiyang and Jun Hao, do not take action, your divine powers are too powerful, the other three Spiritual Masters also only use their spiritual arts to break through. Then, Senior Lu Jing used a precious rune to break through the formation, closely following closely behind Ye and Mo, the two Spiritual Grade Breaking Runes.
Three green wind blades landed on the barrier, causing it to shake violently. However, a spirit circle immediately formed around the barrier, and when the spirit aura reached the barrier, it immediately disappeared. This was the barrier Yang Junshan had set up using the array formation technique to create a barrier, specifically designed to reduce the disturbance caused by breaking through restrictions.
After the Adept Qing Feng made his move, Spiritual Master Lin Canghai opened his palm, and rootless lines of water shot out, piercing into the light barrier. After that, Spiritual Master Lin retracted his palm that was extended out, and a large amount of spirit energy was absorbed by the five water threads, causing the light barrier’s light to dim by half.
