Darkness obscured the sky. Just what were the people in the mountains facing? What should they do next?
Mao Qiuyu did not hesitate. His sleeves fluttering, he instantly flew several li as he rushed towards the mountain path. His face ashen, Linghai Zhiwang transformed into a streak of light and followed. With a flip of his right hand, he gripped a pestle dazzling with light.
Precisely according to the calculations of the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, these two Prefects of the Orthodoxy, following the Pope's order to protect Chen Changsheng, really were carrying the precious treasures of the Orthodoxy!
Yet they were unable to step onto the mountain path. They were forced to stop in front of the mountain gate of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
It wasn't because of that darkness, but because high up in the sky above the mountains, countless black stones had appeared.
The stones formed a dense net over the sky, enveloping all of Mount Han in an extremely powerful Qi.
These stones were not ordinary stones, they were stones that shared the same source as the Heavenly Tome Monoliths: the Heavenstones!
These Heavenstones were formed into an extremely terrifying array. Even a supreme expert of the Divine Domain would find it impossible to shatter this Heavenstone array in a short time. Although they were powerful and were also carrying the treasures of the Orthodoxy, they had no means of breaking through and entering Mount Han.
Then what about the people within Mount Han…what about him?
……
……
Heavenstones rose up from the Heaven Lake, from the lake shore, from the grass, from the finger of the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets sat by the lake shore, the wrinkles on his face instantly multiplying, making him seem even more elderly. However, his finger was still firm and stable, incessantly writing something on the steam. He was calculating and simultaneously laying down the array. As he did so, his body exuded an incredibly powerful Qi.
Several thousand Heavenstones flew to various places in the mountain range. Hovering in the air against the black canvas of the night, they seemed like stars as they locked down a circle of five hundred li in radius.
This place was Mount Han, this place was his.
Even though the middle-aged scholar that had come to Mount Han was the strongest opponent he had faced in his one thousand years of cultivation, he still had the confidence to fight with him.
The Heavenstones floating in the night sky formed a net. The very center of this net of stones was the place where the mountain path turned, by the stream, in front of the persimmon trees.
Right above the middle-aged scholar's head.
The middle-aged scholar raised his head. Despite seeing dozens of Heavenstones everywhere he looked, his expression remained apathetic, not the slightest bit moved.
On the distant lake shore at the summit of Mount Han, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets swayed for a moment. The wrinkles on his face did not increase but seemed to deepen.
The middle-aged scholar gazed at the peak and apathetically said, ”Heavenly Secrets, you wish to imprison me with such a simple and crude array?”
His voice was like a clap of thunder, crashing through the mountains.
The cultivators standing guard in front of Chen Changsheng all had their seas of consciousness shaken. Some cultivators who were slightly weaker in cultivation even released their swords and covered their ears in pain.
All these scenes faintly appeared in the steam over the lake at the summit.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets gazed into the steam and said, ”I can't hold you for a life, but I only need to hold you for a moment.”
The middle-aged scholar smiled, questioning, ”Then the lives of these juniors, they aren't your concern?”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets replied, ”As you don't even care for your own life, just whose life could I possibly concern myself about?”
These two supreme experts were separated by at least a hundred li, but they were talking as if they were standing right across from each other.
Upon hearing this simple conversation, those human cultivators and demi-human experts that had initially gained some hope from hearing the voice of the Elder of Heavenly Secrets were instantly plunged back into despair.
The people of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets that were seated cross-legged in the pavilion by the lake shore strengthening the array all revealed disturbed expressions, but none of them could say anything.
