Chapter 1376 Mysterious God
As the last wisp of divine light coalesced, the treasure bag suddenly shone brightly, and strings of densely packed golden characters coalesced, like golden dragons dancing across the vast earth, before abruptly condensing into two seal characters:
'【Mystic God】'
These two characters seemed to possess boundless magic; as they flickered at the mouth of the bag, they drew all eyes to them, and all supernatural powers seemed to cease operating in the presence of these two seal characters.
A sliver of golden light shone through the opening of the bag.
Back then, when the Sun Radiance Treasure Bag was used by cultivators of the Sun Dao lineage, it merely separated into Sun Radiance. Its brilliance reached straight to heaven and earth, like a pillar of light, and it never looked like it does today!
But this tiny droplet of golden light landed lightly on the man covered in lightning, causing a faint cracking sound to echo through the world.
"not good!"
This sound came from the deep void. The green-robed immortal rushed out with a tense expression, his supernatural powers running at full speed, and the radiance of wood virtue poured down, trying to protect Shangguan Mi by his side!
It was none other than the Shen Sou Zhenren of the Sun family!
Upon seeing his appearance, a hint of disappointment flashed in Li Quewan's eyes:
'Old things are good at hiding!'
Even at this point, the Grand Master Ji Mu of the Sun family still refused to make a move, merely forcing Shen Sou to come out!
"Boom!"
The sun's radiance fills the heavens and the earth!
"puff!"
Shangguan Mi was completely enveloped in the sunlight, making it impossible to see his form. It was Li Quewan who was the first to cough up blood and fly backward!
Behind her, Qiu Shenshi held the Xuan Guang, his face filled with shock and anger.
"What a beautiful beam of sunlight!"
Now that things have come to this, how could he not realize that something was definitely wrong with this trip!
With Tian Su's reminder, Qiu Shenshi had some foresight about the direction of the situation, which was why he was slowly entangled with Lin Chensheng in the void. On the one hand, it was to prepare a way to break the formation, and on the other hand, it was just to let Shangguan Mi kill Li Quewan!
How could he possibly go to something that would provoke Mingyang's wrath?
Unexpectedly, Li Quewan's abilities were incredibly diverse. By using multiple magical treasures to set up a trap, she actually turned the tables and caused Shangguan Mi to suffer a great loss! Shangguan Mi was the Shu Emperor's favorite general. If the palace were to find out about this incident, he would surely be in trouble.
The regret in my heart at this moment cannot be expressed in a single word; I could only curse silently:
'Damn it! Where did all these magical treasures come from?!'
At this moment, he could not care about anything else and attacked ruthlessly. The crystalline white light that he had been holding in his hand to break the great formation suddenly shot out, extremely sharp.
[Zhengxuan Fengyu True Light]!
Qiu Shenshi attained enlightenment by inheriting the Dao from Changhuai, and his supernatural powers were also guided by Qingtangyin... He cultivated this radiance for over a hundred years, and it has an extremely sharp killing effect!
This palm strike was delivered with real fury, fierce and ruthless, yet the woman merely closed her eyes, and bright runes flickered between her brows.
[Does not damage the stone!]
This glittering light of jade essence seemed to fall into empty space. The woman's face was as pale as paper, and her expression was still somewhat dazed. Her body flew backward and was gently caught by another slender hand. This woman looked much older than her and had a graceful figure. She tightly protected her, and the Horned Wood Divine Power "Li Yunchun" shone brightly for a moment.
Yang Xuancai!
This Master Jiaomu was not good at fighting, but he was the only one in good condition. He braved the thunder and lightning to go out, held her tightly, and made a hand seal with his other hand. The light spread out like a spring breeze, barely blocking the Xuan Staff that was coming through the void!
The other end of the jade-like stick was held in Qiu Shenshi's hand. His face was icy, and his tone was a mixture of shock and anger:
"I'd like to see how many more treasures you have!"
Supernatural power rapidly coalesced, and brilliant white light gathered at the soles of his feet as he went all out:
"Green Jade Cliff"!
This Jade True Divine Power suddenly shone brightly, and his position with the two women rose infinitely higher, as if they were facing off at the peak of a series of jade mountains, making it impossible for them to escape. The white jade Xuan Mountain roared in and pressed down squarely on their heads.
Li Quewan had exhausted his supernatural powers and magic. He had overused the Sun Spiritual Treasure, and his "Complete Elixir" had usurped the power of the Sun. His "Hou Shen Shu" had suffered a backlash. At this moment, he could not even muster any supernatural powers. Yang Xuancai beside him was not good at fighting, and "Yu Zhen" was at the height of its power. How could he extricate himself from the Yu Zhen supernatural powers of the Three Divine Power True Persons?
In an instant, supernatural powers and magical artifacts surrounded and suppressed the mountain with a thunderous roar. Finally, a brilliant expanse of water light condensed, and the black-clad man appeared, raising his hands to gather surging water to block the white jade mountain!
Qiu Shenshi's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes:
"A demon? It doesn't seem like... Chixuan? What kind of monster is this?!"
He certainly didn't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in this world; even if they did, they would only be beings of pity. This black-clad demon before him seemed to possess only a few supernatural powers, yet it lacked that mystical and ethereal aura.
"Something that's neither human nor ghost!"
However, he was still confident that he could suppress the three of them. In an instant, all kinds of jade true light flowed. Li Quewan had already caught his breath, and the full-dan spiritual treasure in his hand shone out, blocking him in the sky!
Qiu Shenshi was equally furious. This master was truly skilled. After fighting for ten rounds, he easily put the three of them at a disadvantage. Each move was more ruthless than the last, leaving the master Jiaomu in a sorry state. He had just caught his breath when he suddenly remembered Shangguan Mi and turned around.
Only then did they see Shangguan Mi in mid-air.
The immortal was still surrounded by endless lightning, his body shimmering with the radiance of the sun, and the red talisman behind him had been moved to his brow, its surface pulsating with intense solar light. His eyes were tightly closed.
The same sunlight still danced on Shen Sou's body, his face slightly pale. He reached out to block Na Luo Zhenren, but still couldn't help coughing up blood. Looking down, he saw the blood dancing like fire in his palm, golden and dazzling, causing a piercing pain in his hand. He couldn't help but exclaim in horror:
"What kind of mysterious light is this!"
His astonished voice echoed through the void, as if shattering the frozen spacetime. Shangguan Mi suddenly bent over and let out a deep breath:
"puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of silvery-white blood, mixed with a large amount of gold and silver substances that looked like fragments of internal organs. This flesh and blood exploded in mid-air like flames, burning the void with the color of the sun, suppressing everyone's figure, and rendering them all unable to move!
Only then did he suddenly open his eyes. His eye sockets were empty, filled only with a deep, dark darkness. Shangguan Mi tilted his head back, his voice hoarse like broken metal:
"Fortunately, I cultivated under the divine thunder!"
Bright white lightning once again surrounded him, but like flickering light, it flashed a few times before finally extinguishing. A sliver of golden light shone through his cheek, shimmering in varying shades.
Blood still trickled from Shangguan Mi's lips like a stream. He looked down at his hands, and beside him came Qiu Shenshi's voice, which was filled with surprise and trembling slightly:
"Fellow Taoist Shangguan?!"
Shangguan Mi's voice was hoarse:
“The Oath of the Divine Palace… is injured.”
For a moment, the void seemed to freeze. Even Lin Chengsheng, who was injured and suppressed under the spiritual treasure, was stunned and stared in disbelief at the sunlight wandering in the void.
Qiu Shenshi abruptly turned his head to look at the Jade Mountain that he had suppressed in the void, which was constantly pulsating. His voice distorted for a moment, and he tried to speak, but Shangguan Mi said hoarsely:
"Don't worry, she's in trouble too, she won't be able to use it a second time."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shenshi finally calmed down. While blocking the surging fire from the formation, he put all distracting thoughts aside and immediately focused his attention on the situation.
'Shangguan Mi is injured and only has two supernatural abilities available, but that should be enough to hold off Lin Chengsheng. The poor demonic cultivator is left to Shen Sou, and the two Wood element cultivators are mediocre; they're just fighting amongst themselves… If I suppress those two female cultivators, and the old man inside is still interfering, it might really be difficult to break the formation…'
Although Jia Zan was injured, he still possessed two supernatural abilities. He had a spiritual fire at hand, and the Li Huo Feather Fan in his hand was a remnant of the Sun Dao lineage. Even though he was far away in the formation, it often forced Jia Zan to take action to block.
If it weren't for this person, and the black-clad demon fighting desperately with all his might, those few True Immortals would have been captured long ago! But even though he was constantly gaining the upper hand, he really couldn't hold back any longer.
'Hongyan has no idea when he'll arrive... That guy always procrastinates, he should be here by now... But... how can we delay any longer!'
He did not place his hopes on the real person, and finally said sternly:
"Please, Great Master, break the formation!"
The sound resounded throughout the void, causing everyone's expressions to change. Then, a soft sigh was heard, and the old man in red stepped out of the void. His clothes were neither robes nor robes, but rather resembled countless ribbons flowing like a waterfall, reflecting a somewhat eerie image.
Shan Yin.
Lin Chengsheng finally understood why the Li family was in such a hurry. He raised his head in shock and looked at the red-robed immortal slowly walking out of the void. His heart sank to the bottom.
'There really is a great master... Guanghou is probably no match for him...'
The Great Master Jimu stood in the sky, his old face gloomy, his red clothes fluttering in the gale, his gaze pressing down on the crowd below.
To be fair, Shan Yin certainly didn't want to get involved in this mess—the white qilin's aura had already been formed. He, Shan Yin, was no genius. The reason he was able to surpass the purple level was largely due to the simplicity of the cultivation method, but it was also lacking in successors. He really didn't want to offend this qilin.
But the emperor's order was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to obey. As a Great True Man, he was no longer too afraid of the emperor in the palace who was suppressed by Changhuai. That's why he lingered on the desert, unwilling to make a move.
Until Qiu Shenshi called him out.
He stood on the horizon, actually somewhat annoyed, squinting as he sensed the slight obscurity in the vast emptiness. As a Great True Person, he vaguely felt that someone was hiding in the vast emptiness.
Could it be a white Qilin?
His face remained calm, his gaze fixed on the darkness. The supernatural power beneath his feet converged, and the "Falcon's Perch" technique was activated to its limit, ready to retreat at any moment. The flying boat from Western Shu had already been pushed close, and the ground was filled with suspended cultivators, like patches of black clouds, silently waiting.
'If the White Qilin comes out from here... I'll leave immediately... These minor cultivators can't withstand divine powers. He cherishes his reputation and probably won't use his powers too much to indiscriminately slaughter them...'
He had mentally prepared for a thousand possible retreats, but his face remained icy cold, exerting immense pressure on others. This pressure was so deadly that Yang Xuancai visibly paled, while Lin Chengsheng sighed softly, also feeling powerless.
'I was still regretting not going to the Purple Smoke Blessed Land to invite Tinglan, who was secretly in seclusion, thinking that she was at a critical juncture and it wouldn't be good to disturb her... But now it seems that even if she came, she would only be able to protect herself and retreat!'
But Dan Yin's face showed no smile. Instead, he gazed quietly into the distance. In the direction he was looking, a body of water flowed out. The middle-aged Taoist stood with his hands behind his back, like a clear sea. The young man beside him held a sword and looked solemn.
It was Guanghou and his grandson!
"Senior Sun!"
Pure One Way…
The two figures appeared on the horizon, causing everyone to pause. Lin Chengsheng breathed a deep sigh of relief. The entanglement between Chunyi Dao and the Taiyang Dao lineage had been going on for many years. From the Taiyang Dao lineage's initial silence to their gradual acquiescence, Chunyi Dao could always say that they had a clear conscience!
The surprise in Shan Yin's eyes lasted only a moment; he quickly understood. He seemed delighted by their appearance, his mood brightening, and he let out an aged laugh.
"It's not surprising... Since Dalingchuan has the Guanghou Master, it's only natural that they would come to defend against the enemy... It's rare, truly rare, for an old man like me to see so many talented young people!"
Shan Yin was already quite old, and Guang Hou was far younger than him. However, Shan Yin cultivated the Wood Gathering technique, which naturally granted him a long lifespan, and he also possessed methods to extend his lifespan. He was far from being near death. This was, of course, a self-deprecating remark. Guang Hou gazed at him, seemingly trying to discern the smile in his eyes, and said softly:
"Now that I am here to guard this place, I would like to ask the senior for some guidance."
Dan Yin stared at him, his gaze sweeping over the Yin energy that was gradually withdrawing from his hand. Only now could he be certain that there was no one else hiding in the void!
He finally laughed, no longer trying to hide his laughter, and said in a hoarse voice:
"If you hadn't shown yourself, I would have been wary... But now that you've shown yourself, what are you anyway!"
His cold voice echoed through the void. None of the True Immortals present were fools. Whether it was Qiu Shenshi or Shen Sou, their eyes showed a strange light at this moment. Their gazes were fixed on the two True Immortals who had suddenly appeared. They were not surprised or angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
Having received confirmation from this great master, a slight smile began to appear on their faces. Shen Sou stepped forward, finally revealing his fangs, and laughed:
"What do you think we're waiting for! We've come with a mission!"
"If it weren't for the fear of the potential King Wei, how could you have held out until now! Master Xi... don't think that just because my Great Master fought so restrainedly in the desert back then, he can be easily dealt with by someone at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm!"
He raised his head, slowly unfurling the scroll of true qi flowing from his hands. It seemed as if boundless offensive intent was about to surge forth, ready to tear the great formation before him to shreds. Shen Sou finally vented his anger, his eyes filled with mockery and coldness, and said indifferently:
"Today, I demand that you return the land of Shu and go back to the lake!"
