926 Barge In! (1/2)
The fact that Yun Yang, who had turned into a soft breeze, had managed to enter the Cangwu Union without a hitch, left him astonished and in disbelief!
It was simply too easy – there was no reaction at all when he passed through Cangwu Union's mountain guarding formation.
Yun Yang had even thought that there had to be something else behind their guarding formation; perhaps it was preparing to unleash some form of an extreme backlash. This caused him to hesitate for a moment, he readied himself for the impending counterattack.
In spite of all his caution, there was nothing, even after a long while!
The sneak-in was too easy! It was nothing like an invasion against the guarding formation of a sect that had the Celestial Luck Banner.
As Yun Yang slipped into the inner part of the Cangwu Union, he instinctively realized something – the guarding mountain formation of the Cangwu Union most probably did not have the ability to defend against deific consciousness; otherwise, how could it have no reaction against his trespass?
His various manifestations were mystical, but the core of it was tied to the spiritual essence of one's being. No matter how traceless and intangible he was, it was impossible to avoid slight, unusual twitches; even if the deific sense tracking mechanism would not be able to thoroughly seek him out, there would be hints and clues as to his passing. Oddly enough, Cangwu Union's mountain guarding formation had no reaction to these. The only explanation was that the formation was not able to defend against any form of deific consciousness!
However, was that not an absurd revelation?
Yun Yang was bewildered. As an established sect that had the Celestial Luck Banner, how could they not have this least bit of protection?
Nonetheless, this seemed to be the truth of the matter. In fact, while it was not unique to the world to have formations like that in the Residence of Nine Supremes that could deter the divine senses, it was rare and hard to come by!
As for Yun Yang's manifestations, it was a special arcane magic that was unheard of in this realm, exceeding the cultivators' knowledge.
Perhaps his skills could not avoid the restraint of spatial arcane magic like 'cages', but it was undeniable that his manifestations were absolute mystical methods!
Yun Yang drifted to the Tower of Martial Keeping smoothly, in no apparent hurry, but that was where his good luck ended. The reason was simple. The divine senses of powerful cultivators were all around Cangwu Union's Tower of Martial Keeping, wrapping the place securely.
From afar, the tower's entrance was open. The four-storied tower was filled with rows upon rows of books. The highest shelf contained strips of jade slips, laid openly where one could reach for the with an outstretched arm.
In spite of this, the reality was far from what was being observed.
The entire Tower of Martial Keeping was like a deific consciousness space where there was no loopholes or weaknesses to exploit.
Yun Yang was perceptive, knowing that his manifestations would not be as smooth-sailing as earlier, thus, he stopped his trek with a frown, trying to figure out a countermeasure.
He was confident that he could overcome the obstacle using Emmie and his Endless Divine Art if the Tower of Martial Keeping contained only the deific sense force. However, there was an unusual gigantic outline above this structure.
The peculiar outline was intangible and hardly visible, but its presence was undeniable. It was a flag, the Celestial Luck Banner!
The Cangwu Union had placed their black Celestial Luck Banner right inside the Tower of Martial Keeping, not knowing that it was actually useful in another way, creating this special form of defense.
Seeing that Cangwu Union's Celestial Luck Banner was also here, Yun Yang dared not be reckless as he calmed himself down to check the defenses the tower was equipped with.
There were four elders guarding the entrance of the Tower of Martial Keeping, two inside and two outside.
'All of them are Saint level experts – this is quite tricky,' Yun Yang mused.
