Chapter 1338: Isolation (2/2)

Elder Peng Yan flew over from the distance, looking grim.

“Strange changes have happened to the Four Manifestations Heaven-sealing Formation. It’s keeping everyone out now.” With these words, he looked down at the boiling lava lake, as if he hoped to see into the underground palace at that Immortal grade divine tool. “The spell formation Pang Chicheng used to deal with you earlier was called the Four Manifestations Heaven-burning Formation, which is used to refine living beings.

“The realm-protecting spell formation that has been built into the realm barrier is called the Four Manifestations Heaven-sealing Formation.

“When it’s activated, those who have its permission can still enter and exit the realm freely. For example, the disciples of the fire element sect, Divine Sons and Daughters of the other four sects, and other experts who had Sectmaster Shao’s permission, will still be able to enter the Realm of Fire Spirit after the grand spell formation is activated.

“But now...”

At this moment, Nie Tian said, “No one, even including Pu Yangbai, can enter through it now, right?”

Peng Yan took a deep breath and sighed. “That’s not all. Even the teleportation portals in the Realm of Fire Spirit have stopped working, isolating us from the outside world. Many spell formations are actually intact and undamaged. The only reason why they can’t operate is because the Four Manifestations Heaven-sealing Formation is stopping them!”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

As they spoke, Hou Chulan, Huang Jinnan, Lou Hongyan, and Lin Yaoyao returned, along with a few exhausted disciples of the fire element sect who were covered in blood.

“The Four Manifestations Heaven-sealing Formation has been reversed. It’s sealed heaven and earth and tempered with the spatial fluctuations.” With these words, Hou Chulan looked down at the lava lake. “Under such circumstances, even Xuan Guangyu of the Void Spirit Society won’t be able to split open spatial rifts and enter this realm, much less Ji Yuanquan. I suppose only Qu Yi, the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society, may be able to split the void open with his Void Mirror and get in here.”

“If Qu Yi were available, my master would be too,” Lou Hongyan said.

Everyone had bitter expressions on their faces as they discussed among themselves.

Nie Tian listened for a while, and learned that the great changes in the Four Manifestations Heaven-burning Formation had completely sealed the Realm of Fire Spirit.

“Isn’t the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron doing everything it can to make sure that Pang Chicheng enters the God domain smoothly?” Lou Hongyan said with bitter envy in her tone. “No wonder my master still hasn’t introduced me to it even though I’ve been the Divine Daughter of the fire element sect for a long time.”

The Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron could be viewed as the soul of every grand spell formation in the Realm of Fire Spirit.

Shao Tianyang had mentioned this to her, as had other elders of the sect.

As the Divine Daughter, she should have gained the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron’s acknowledgment and the opportunity to communicate with it long ago.

After all, when Shao Tianyang had died, normally speaking, she would be the one to take his place, and shoulder the responsibility to communicate and work with the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron.

However, she hadn’t had a chance to have any soul communication with the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron.

Only at this point did she realize that the cauldron had been waiting for someone.

However, she wasn’t that someone.

“Nie Tian, I’m afraid your plan to ask God domain experts to come from other realms to frustrate Pang Chicheng’s breakthrough into the God domain is not going to work,” Huang Jinnan said. After a moment of hesitation, he added, “You were able to enter that underground palace earlier. You saw the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron in there, right?”

The others’ eyes lit up as soon as they heard these words.

They all fixed their gazes on Nie Tian.

Nie Tian nodded. “I sure did. It was the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron that attracted the Flame Dragon Armor with the aura of another flame dragon, and lured it down there. And since I’m the owner of the Flame Dragon Armor and there’s something unique about me, it treated me differently, and pulled me into the underground palace.”

“So if it thinks you’re so special, did you two communicate?” Peng Yan asked, looking spirited. “Can you tell it that Pang Chicheng has betrayed the fire element sect, and that Sectmaster Shao ordered that he should never be allowed to return?

“Tell it that it should stop helping him advance to the God domain!”

The Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron was behind all of the great changes in the Realm of Fire Spirit. If it hadn’t made these changes, the teleportation portals would have still been operable, and God domain experts would have been able to come and put a stop to Pang Chicheng’s breakthrough into the God domain.

“Tell it to disobey the dying wish of its master?” Nie Tian shook his head. “That’s impossible. I communicated with it. Pang Bo is the only master he acknowledges. As far as it’s concerned, Shao Tianyang is only a transitional sectmaster of the fire element sect. It doesn’t concern itself with what’s good and what’s evil.

“All it knows is to obey Pang Bo’s order, which is to help Pang Chicheng enter the God domain, and then accept him as its new master.

“It doesn’t matter how many crimes Pang Chicheng has committed. Nothing will sway it.”

Nie Tian answered with decisiveness that could sever nails and chop iron, eliminating Peng Yan, Lou Hongyan, and the others’ hope to solve this through communication.

“So... all we can do is watch him enter the God domain?” Lin Yaoyao asked timidly, “If that man really enters the God domain and gains control of the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron while our masters and martial uncles are still away, he...”
