Chapter 67: Black-White Twin Spectres (1/2)

The emergence of the Spring of Life was the equivalent of the descent of a tempest. It instantly gave rise to chaos.

“The Spring of Life is indeed hidden underground. The Six Great Sky Grottoes weren’t joking around. They blasted it out in just one attack,” Ye Ziming chuckled.

“What a powerful life force! It is the appearance of the Spring of Life. Everyone, hurry! Go snatch it!”

“Not good! The Six Great Sky Grottoes’ cultivators are making their move. Don’t let them get it. Everyone, join forces and snatch it!”

Seeing the Spring of Life, all the cultivators there clamoured. Every one of them became like wasps, swarming towards the Spring of Life.

Everyone there had fallen into a state of frenzy. Even though it was a Spring of Life formed through extrinsic means and the Water of Life produced was of a low grade, it was still a Heaven-defying divine object for the Concealed stage cultivators.

Compared to the excited crowd of cultivators, Chen Feng instead had a peculiar expression on his face. The instant the powerful wave of life force spread over to him, the longevity-type primary energy in his body began circulating unbidden. At the same time, a dim light shone out from the Longevity Scripture imprinted onto his mind.

Even more shocking was the fact that the Longevity Tower, which had remained still all this time, was suddenly shaking. At the same time, the mysterious voice rang out once more.

“Water of Life. You must obtain it… can heal my injuries…”

After saying that, the Longevity Tower fell into a still state once more.

You think I can get it just because you said I should get it? Easy for you to say. How should I go about doing that? How about you give me a suggestion? Chen Feng cried out inwardly. However, the Longevity Tower did not respond. It was as though it had not heard Chen Feng’s cry.

Snatching the Water of Life from so many people… this is no game. Rather, it is practically the act of sending myself to death’s door! Chen Feng swore inwardly. Still, he could not choose to do nothing. He needed to repair the Longevity Tower. Thus, he would act once the opportunity arose, even if it meant putting his life at risk.

“Brother Chen, what happened? It’s nearly time for us to take action.” Seeing Chen Feng staring blankly, Ye Ziming was quick to call out.

“It’s nothing. I was just considering something.” Chen Feng quickly recollected himself.

The first to reach the Spring of Life was naturally cultivators of the Six Great Sky Grottoes. In an instant, a total of 28 cultivators surrounded the Spring of Life before swiftly forming a complex sword array to block off the other incoming cultivators.

“Six Great Sky Grottoes! Are you all trying to monopolize this Spring of Life?” one of the loose cultivators shouted.

“Yes! This Spring of Life is now taken over by our Six Great Sky Grottoes. Whoever attempts to snatch it will be going against our Six Great Sky Grottoes and will face the endless pursuit of our Six Great Sky Grottoes in the future!” a cultivator from Purplecloud Sky Grotto shouted loudly.

“Ha ha ha ha! Do you fancy yourself as a real immortal dao sect? You are just the serving dog of an immortal dao sect!” the dark-faced cultivator laughed out. He was also the first amongst the loose cultivators to make a move. His large figure charged forward with an abrupt shout. It felt as though a gigantic fist was charging through Heaven and Earth as it slammed heavily towards the 28 cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes.

“A minor cultivator at level 3 of the Concealed stage dares to show off? Activate the sword array, kill them!”

Instantly, sword beams rose up like waves. One after another, waves of sword energy inundated the dark-faced cultivator.

“Everyone, attack together!” Blood Profound Daoist shouted as he once again employed his insidious technique. With a grasping motion, he caught a cultivator at level 2 of the Concealed stage and utilized his Blood Sacrifice Skill. The cultivator immediately exploded, sending powerful shockwaves towards the Six Great Sky Grottoes’ sword array.

“Sinister Wind Energy!”

Shadewind Scholar attacked as well. The fan in his hand flipped open instantly and wave after wave of sinister energy streams rapidly diffused out from it. Next, they transformed into a raging hurricane, which flew forward. The stones on the ground, even those weighing up to hundreds of jin, were all sucked into the hurricane. It raged around like a thrashing dragon, roaring without respite. The cultivators that were near the hurricane all found themselves having a hard time stabilizing their position (1 jin = 0.5 kg).

“Six Unity Sword Array!”

It was at that moment that the Six Great Sky Grottoes’ sword array unleashed its might. Beam after beam of sword energy, tens of metres in length, pierced through the sky to shatter all the attacks aimed at them, regardless of what the attacks were.

“Humph!”

The dark-faced cultivator gave a muffled grunt as his bloody figure stumbled out. The clothes on his person had been utterly ruined and he looked miserable to the extreme. However, there remained a precious-looking armour on him, one which shone with light. Were it not for the protection afforded by the armour earlier, he would have been cut into pieces by the sword beams.

“Everyone, don’t hold back. If you have any good magic treasures, hurry up and use it! Let’s beat the Six Great Sky Grottoes first!” shouted one of the loose cultivators.

“I have an Earthen Ding. It is a grade 5 Magic artefact. Everyone, please channel your magic power into it together,” a loose cultivator suddenly shouted out while producing a small, brownish-yellow ding. The ding quickly expanded in size.

“All right! Everyone, channel your magic power into it!”

Wave after wave of potent energy shot out from everyone’s hands to flow into the ding and it expanded in size once more. Violent emanations spread out from it, causing the ground beneath to shake as a result. It was as though a power was drilling its way up through the ground in an attempt to fuse with the Earthen Ding.
