”How is this possible?”
The Sun Leaving Sect's Essence Soul Venerable kept waving his large flag and emitting fierce flames. When he finally escaped the siege of the goat-headed humans, the fog in front of him dispersed before he could catch his breath. He took in the sight of his surroundings.
The exotic flowers and plants did not immediately catch his eyes. Most conspicuous were the several vicious monsters with bad intentions that had surrounded him as soon as they saw him.
Although there were only a few, he felt more afraid compared to the previous goat demon army.
This was because these monsters were at Essence Soul, especially the one like a hill. Its presence was unpredictable and deep, just like a Human Immortal's!
”I'm an Essence Soul Venerable and have an exceptional treasure to protect me for the task this time. H-How could I possible die here?”
This Essence Soul was not resigned and continuously waved his large flag. Instantly, black smoke rose and flames swept.
Unfortunately, this struggle was futile.
After a moment.
”I hate…”
Following the bellow of an unwilling voice, a sudden large explosion was heard.
In the mess, an Essence Soul wrapped in a flag wanted to fly away.
At this time, the hill-sized monster snorted loudly.
With the snorting sound, alternating yellow and white lights swept through. One of them stretched out while another contracted to hook onto the Essence Soul and his treasure before swallowing them. Just like that, not another sound was heard…
…
”Looks like this lousy place truly has many secrets. At least there's someone managing it, and it has attracted quite a bit of greed…”
Fang Yuan knew the secrets of the Valley of Fallen Gods and the petty maneuvers of the three sects.
”However, letting me have the initiative was a huge mistake on your part!”
Roar! Roar!
Aw! Aw!
The vicious monsters surrounding him howled and suddenly charged forward, as if they had received a command.
Even Human Immortals would not be able to escape from this battle!
”Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique's fourth layer is spiritual field, from external to internal, and Vast Ocean Heart Manual trains the body, from internal to external. However, the fifth layer, Earth Immortal, is indistinctly interlinked.”
Fang Yuan waved his hands and a domain formed.
This was the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique's fifth layer Earth Immortal domain! After his improvements, it was flawlessly compatible with the Spiritual Realm.
”Open!”
Instantly, an invisible power field opened. Even the Human Immortal vicious monsters were fixed onto their spot, utterly motionless.
Fang Yuan strolled within the circle of vicious monsters, and when he found a node, he ruthlessly tore it with both hands.
Kaboom!
Stone collapsed, the ground vibrated, and the mountains shook.
A precipice crumpled to reveal a giant cave in the stomach of a mountain containing a colorful palace that appeared to be paved purely with jade stones.
”Bury Jade Palace?”
Fang Yuan smiled lightly and stepped in!
Kaboom!
The entire Bury Jade Palace vibrated as the remaining restrictions were immediately activated!
”This isn't good!”
In the Golden Jade Hall, Lord Bright Jade's will instantly discovered the intruder. ”An Earth Immortal? I didn't think that the Vast Ocean Sect would be so deceitful and allow an Earth Immortal Patriarch to disguise as an ordinary Essence Soul Venerable. He also passed through the restriction at the valley mouth?!”
Initially, he only thought that the Vast Ocean Sect would at most have petty actions like the Sun Leaving Sect, such as bringing multiple treasures or talismans.
But he did not think that the Vast Ocean Sect was so insane and ridiculous. It did not obey the rules and actually wanted to achieve its aim through underhanded methods. Under everyone's eyes, it actually sent an Earth Immortal Patriarch in!
”What to do? What to do?”
Lord Bright Jade's will was very anxious as it glanced once at the palace center.
There was a jade chair emanating a five-colored brilliance, and Luo Liyi was sitting upright on it. Her body appeared as if had opened a hidden acupoint and was continuously emitting divine light.
”She still needs the time it takes three incense sticks to burn to be able to completely refine the Deity Position and receive my body's greatest treasure.”
Lord Bright Jade's will moved again and opened up a few lit mirrors. On them appeared a few figures.
One of them was a golden divine light that was unexpectedly Xi Nation's City God. It was as fast as lightning, and close behind was the Dragon-horse Carriage. Following quickly behind them were Curmudgeon Vast Ocean and the Luo Water Sect's Earth Immortal.
”Is using more power the only way to defeat them? But it won't be quick enough… At most, it'll cause the people behind to fight chaotically. However, this Earth Immortal was sly from the start and managed to blend in when entering valley and has a head start…”
Kaboom!
The Golden Jade Hall vibrated violently. In front of the wildly dancing lightning, a human figure with fluttering long sleeves blocked the lightning and walked out slowly.
”Impossible. Even an Earth Immortal can't break through the restrictions this quickly!”
Although the power of the restrictions in Bury Jade Palace drastically decreased with the activation of the heart of Golden Jade Hall, Lord Bright Jade's will had calculated that it would be enough to temporarily stall Xi Nation's City God and buy enough time for Luo Liyi to refine the Deity Position and escape.
However, the Earth Immortal before him was currently able to overcome the restrictions as if they were made of paper and could be torn easily.
”Ninety-nine Golden Jade Array!”
Outside the Golden Jade Hall, Lord Bright Jade's will bet it all. A golden radiance rose with the luster of jade appearing to be the essence.
