1112 Life-and-Death Road (1/2)
Within the mysterious realm.
The sky was gray and misty with light.
Rubble lay scattered everywhere in a mess, and there was a large rock plaque that had broken into several pieces with the words 'Longyan Peak' carved into it.
”It really is a remnant of the Mount Mengyan Holy Land…” After entering the mysterious realm, Fang Yuan had this feeling.
”The original restrictions of Mount Mengyan were very powerful. Although they might be damaged now, they're even stranger since they've integrated with the power of nature… We have to be even more careful!”
Qiu Tianfeng looked around and nodded. ”From my previous experience, we'll reach the Immortal cave abodes after breaking through a few restrictions. There will be many benefits…”
”Let me take a look!” Tie Xinku strode forward bravely. ”This place has the Nomological Laws of Gravity, but they're inferior to those of our Golden Soul Sect!”
They were all core disciples of the Holy Land, and they had experienced Golden Mount Meru's refined Nomological Laws of Gravity. The restraining power here was not as strong as the core disciple peaks, so they naturally did not fear it.
They advanced again and came to a foggy place.
”It looks like the Five Mystic Seal Spiritual Array. It reeks of a space restriction and appears to have blended with the shards of the mysterious realm's laws to become something of its own!” He seemed to have some sort of secret detection method with his hand seals. However, he shook his head after sensing for a short moment. ”It's useless. I can't think of a way to crack it!”
”Haha… The laws of nature and the Dao of Array. An array master had originally obtained this by observing the movement of heaven and earth. The power of a nature array is much stronger than you and me. Moreover, this is a variation of the original Five Mystic Seal Spiritual Array. There's no other way than to break it forcefully!”
Qiu Tianfeng stepped forward and punched.
He also cultivated the Nine Transference Undying Method, but his level was much higher than Fang Yuan's, having reached the peak of the sixth transference. His body was comparable to a top-grade immortal artifact, and his every move carried boundless force.
Bang!
His punch was simple and without any fluctuations of magic power. It was pure strength, yet it caused the white fog to move, and a giant tunnel appeared.
But the next moment, everyone's eyes narrowed.
The white fog circulated and slowly repaired itself.
”This tunnel is about a kilometer long, and no spiritual techniques can break the Five Mystic Seal Spiritual Array. We can only rely on our physical bodies to get through it!” Qiu Tianfeng explained. ”However, this is the safest restriction since the array won't attack us if we use pure physical force!”
”No wonder Eldest Senior Brother didn't bring any inner disciples!”
Huang Yue immediately understood that only a body at the immortal artifact level could open the way through this mutated array. Inner disciples would just be burdens.
Under the Immortal realm and with bodies at the immortal artifact level, how many of them were there in the Golden Soul Sect?
”Everyone takes turns. Don't waste time!”
Xie Wufeng stepped up and stabbed fiercely with his sword.
Poof!
A channel appeared in the giant tunnel and advanced fifteen steps.
Xia Qinghe followed, and the channel advanced another ten steps.
Fang Yuan looked on coldly. This method of forcibly attacking and breaking through could measure the physical strength of each disciple.
Qiu Tianfeng, for example, had advanced more than twenty steps with a casual blow, and he seemed to have energy remaining. However, Tie Xinku and Huang Yue had only managed to advance five or six steps.
The gap between the first core disciple and the tail-end ones was evident.
”My turn!” He stepped forward excitedly with golden light spots all over his body. ”Break!”
Rumble!
The channel broke through another seven or eight steps forward.
Li Hun… you…
Tie Xinku and Huang Yue were astonished. They could see that Fang Yuan had used all his might, unlike them.
”Good job. Don't stop!”
Qiu Tianfeng was slightly happy after seeing this. He stepped up again and opened up another twenty steps.
The fog gathered behind them, blocking the entrance completely.
…
After three days.
Six figures escaped haggardly from a sea of thunder.
”Finally made it!” Tie Xinku and Huang Yue were frightened. ”That sea of thunder is man-made. Even though it lacks the true mighty power of the lightning tribulation, it's still terrible…”
”Hehe… You thought that was close to the lightning tribulation?”
Qiu Tianfeng said casually, ”As core disciples, we have strong foundations, and our lightning tribulations will also multiply by our strength. It is heaven's will for the world to be in balance, but we cultivators are fighting against heaven for our lives, and we are most disdainful about this… You have to be careful when you cross your lightning tribulations.”
”Thank you for your guidance, Eldest Senior Brother!” Tie Xinku and the others thanked him hurriedly.
They looked at the jade white enormous mountain in front of them, their faces solemn. ”We've finally reached the Immortal cave abodes!”
”That's right. There are at least a dozen Immortal cave abodes on this White Jade Mountain. Although every abode has the protection of a restriction, the Immortals had only arranged them casually. It shouldn't be difficult for you to break them!”
