Episode 142

  And so, the Thunderbolt Sifu was now trapped in a linked ring formation. He didn't know the subtlety of this formation and couldn't understand its key points, nor could he escape from it! In his desperation, he carefully searched the area and unexpectedly obtained some celestial materials and spiritual medicines, which made him extremely happy.

  "Now that Feng Cheng is here, all the external forces will definitely try to capture him! I'll just wait here for the great opening of the abyss, but it's not possible to risk my life again!"

  It is worth living in such a peaceful and comfortable place, and it will not be a waste of energy.

  In another large array, two cultivators who had entered the linked ring formation were destroyed. One was annihilated by a smaller array, while the other's physical body was completely destroyed, leaving only his consciousness and primordial spirit merged into a crude, fragile divine body. Due to their shallow cultivation, their divine body was still weak and unstable. At that time, it condensed into a size similar to a fist, hiding in a dark place, trembling with fear, unsure of its fate.

  At this time, it was unfortunately subjected to a double invasion of ice and fire, plus the external small space that exacerbated the contraction. The thunderstorm had been rumbling non-stop, and by the end, the space had shrunk to about the size of a zhang (a unit of length). Inside, half of it was filled with lightning and heavenly fire, dense like a muddy sea, while the other half was filled with black ice water that seemed to be on the verge of freezing into crystals. The two halves were shaped like yin-yang fish, constantly rotating. At this time, the charred black flesh body and golden spiritual body of Insufficiency had already been pulled apart by the internal divine energy, separating into two entities. The charred and broken flesh body was in the nucleus of the yang fish, while the golden spiritual body was in the nucleus of the yin fish. The two bodies rotated along with the rotation of the yin-yang fish, constantly spinning around. At this time, Insufficiency's separated flesh and spirit were dizzy and confused, unaware of life or death. However, his dual bodies gradually became more harmonious and complete as they rotated, their colors also changing - the flesh body gradually turned white, while the spiritual body took on a seven-colored appearance.

  Another three and a half years later.

  Thirty miles east of the Wan Jie Abyss, above the cloudy sky, in a dense silver cloud like snow, ten or so immortals stood on tiptoes and gazed. One immortal said:

  "This time, the family has mobilized its elite dark guards, spending a huge amount of resources and taking an enormous amount of time, which cannot be counted. Not to mention that the dark guards have spent decades searching through countless fine threads, carefully examining every detail, and finally found the hiding place of the remaining members of the Shi family. Even if they were high-ranking families among the ten clans, with a large number of elite soldiers, this time they were all uprooted and killed, which is a loss as great as a mountain! We are all pillars of the family, and if we cannot eliminate these remnants and obtain that treasure, what face do we have to meet our ancestors? What qualifications do we have to remain in power?"

  "The building master is overthinking. We are among the top masters of the ancient continent, and these insignificant ants can be eliminated in a single breath, what's difficult about that?"

  "No! This historian's leftover is now a precious treasure, and several major forces are entangled to get it. We are just one of them. Fortunately, only we know about the treasure, so this time we must keep a close eye on him and wait for an opportunity to kill him and get it! You all must be careful not to lose the treasure carelessly, as the old ancestor's desire is to obtain it at all costs. If we lose it, you and I will definitely die, and no one can save us from the old ancestor's wrath!"

  Everyone was shocked and responded solemnly.

  Half a moment later, a blue bird suddenly flew through the clouds. A Taoist priest on the cloud head stretched out his hand and caught the blue bird. The blue bird suddenly opened its mouth and spoke in human language!

  "The major forces of the Ten Great Sects, Dark Hidden, Sea God Island and a group of unidentified cultivators have begun to take action. All the factions in the southern part of the ancient continent have sent scouts. Our side is lying in wait with swords drawn."

  "Good! Everyone has their own position and will act according to plan."

  "Yes!"

  A promise was made, and the dense clouds suddenly parted and dispersed in all directions.

  The entrance of Wan Jie Yuan is located at Da Zhen.

  "Gentlemen, listen to me for a moment. At this time and place, don't think about anything else, breaking the formation and capturing the person is the key! How did the hidden flow find this place, and got the node of the big formation? Or which door, which faction or who leaked this secret, what's the point of arguing now?"

  The speaker is the master of Yixiu Gate.

  "The leader's words are reasonable. Everyone, our ten major sects share a common origin, at this critical juncture, we should unite and cooperate to overcome the difficulties, and only then can we achieve success."

  "It's exactly this principle! Don't let us mess around here in vain and make it easy for him to repair!"

  "Yes! Yes! The master of the Yixiu Gate is the landlord of this place. How will you arrange it?"

  "Alright! It was already agreed upon by the higher-ups of various factions beforehand!"

  "Hum! Which of your high-ranking families in the door is not prepared for both hands? One hand cooperates, one hand makes trouble, all with the intention of taking millet from the fire!"

  Yi Xiu Men was furious and couldn't bear it anymore, so he loudly complained.

  "Shut up!"

  "Easy repair door younger generation, our family asked, this place all doors, is easy to repair the door can have willing no work and return? Stir up trouble? How did stir up trouble?"

  "Never mind! Time is pressing, Master Yixiu, give the order!"

  The messenger sent by Tianzun said coldly.

  "Thus, we will proceed according to the previous arrangement, breaking through the enemy's lines, entangling them in a hidden web of obstacles to prevent their plans from being realized, and responding to emergencies to prevent them from taking advantage of any chaos that may arise from all directions."

  Then the three teams of cultivators dispersed in all directions. The cultivators who stayed at the exit of the Wan Jie Abyss, one after another, took out the array instruments from their magic bags and began to work busily.

  Beyond the hundred-mile boundary, a beautiful and picturesque place, standing on a small stone mound, gazing into the distance. Its gaze seems to have already pierced through the hundred-mile boundary, focusing on this abyss above.

  "The Ten Thousand Year Pit is right here!"

  "Yes! It is indeed this place! As your senior sister and brother, we were entrusted by the master to bring you here. Now that our task is complete, we bid you farewell!"

  Under the stone mound, two men in black robes covered their bodies, with scarves covering their faces. In a hoarse voice, they said...

  "Thank you two senior brothers! Thank you elder brother! I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"

  "Haha, you're just like our junior sister, I'll report this to our senior brother!"

  Erxī biān hāhā dà xiào, biān fēi shēn ér qǐ, tà yún fēi zǒu.

  Translation: Laughing loudly, he flew up and stepped on the clouds to fly away.

  "Insufficient, brother. This time the danger is not small! The Fangzhou family's repair, the ten major sects' crowds, and even the Tianzun's flow, all the hidden ones are gathered together. And Qinger doesn't dare to use her great magical powers, what can be done?"

  Chang'er let out a soft sigh, shook her head, and the snake-shaped hairpin on top of her beautiful hair quietly slid down. Suddenly, a female immortal appeared beside her, with a beauty that shocked the heavens, leaving no words to describe. The immortal's beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she looked at Chang'er beside her and muttered to herself:

  "If not for the use of great magical power, this body would have been destroyed. Alas! Having inhabited it for dozens of years, I had grown accustomed to you, but unfortunately, I couldn't protect you completely."

  Then he brought out another box, which was the Nine Spirits Divine Box.

  "Jiao Jiao! My poor little sister Jiao Jiao too... Waaah~~~~~"

  Her beauty was suddenly overcome with tears, sobbing and wailing, like raindrops on a lotus flower, tender and helpless, also like grass in the autumn wind, pitiful and heartbreaking.

  This was actually Jin Chan'er's true body. Thinking of the hardships and difficulties, thinking of the pampered life she had before, sorrow welled up from within, uncontrollable, and she burst into loud wails.

  How is it that so many people know the first secret of Yixiu Men, Wan Jue Yuan?

  It turned out that the Ark family's repair had been going on for decades without stopping, and finally found some clues. With the help of the Ark family's repair in the top ten sects, they were able to find the location of this Wan Jie Yuan. Fortunately, before he broke through the array to take the object, the hidden repairs were exposed, and under torture, the top ten sects learned that it was actually a shocking revelation for many high-ranking cultivators. It turned out that Feng Cheng was originally a hero from tens of thousands of years ago, a legendary figure named Shi Wu Zu's descendant, whose real name was Shi Bu Zu! He was a wanted criminal by the mysterious Ark family from tens of millions of miles away! As for the decades-long pursuit, few people knew the inside story.

  It wasn't until then that someone vaguely remembered that when Feng Cheng and Fu Junru first entered the door, they were also called by this name as disciples under the Phoenix Fairy's seat, and the matter of their dispute.

  "It turned out that what happened that day was actually true! It's just that I misunderstood Fengming, the little maid."

  The master of the Easy Repair Gate sighed and said:

  "It's also because of you, Miss, that you're too cunning. With just a few words, you've actually deceived both of us!"

  Taiyi Zhenren said with hatred.

  "And then you'll hand over this woman and we'll talk!"

  "Hmm! Reasonable! The Bahou family has a long history of inheritance, what's the point of chasing after a cultivator like an ant for decades?"

  Taiyi Zhenren looked puzzled.

  "Sister, don't you know that this person with the surname Shi is actually a descendant of the heroic figure from ancient poetry, Shi Huai, from thousands of years ago?"

  "How?"

  "Sister, how can this be true?"

  "Huh?"

  "What a shock! This person, his family was the representative of the pinnacle of human power 10,000 years ago! His kung fu, his treasured artifacts and precious objects are all rare in a hundred generations! Could it be that his descendants... Hmm!..."

  The master's eyes shone brightly as he spoke slowly.

  Taiyi Zhenren also showed a greedy look in her eyes and loudly ordered:

  "Oh! It's really necessary to hurry up and take down Fu Junru as he is!"

  One enters this humble abode, yet it is precisely where Gao Zu's spirit resides.

  "Don't worry! You and the others will capture Fu Qian and bring him here immediately, no mistakes allowed!"

  "Yes!"

  Gao Wuyou was bewildered and replied accordingly. Then he quickly left like a bird in flight.
