Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 169 – Magneton

In the world of cultivation, there are 100,000 spells and 3,000 spiritual arts, but every spell and spiritual art is ever-changing when used. Different cultivators are often able to choose different methods according to their preferences, and thus, the same sacred art will often have different methods when used.

Before, Yang Junshan had only moved a little when the opportunity came, but he never thought that the [Earth Reaching Technique] would actually be used as a substitute, and exactly because he made a clay figurine out of his [Earth Restraining Technique], Yang Junshan hid behind the clay figurine, instantly deceiving Shi Nansheng’s consciousness, and tricking him into using his [Earth Restraining Technique].

The magnetic light was firmly locked onto Shi Nansheng’s aura, and this kind of locking was not a confirmation, but a control, causing Shi Nansheng to not be able to escape from the Mountain Monarch Seal in an instant. Unfortunately, the magic tool in his hand was also not by his side, even if he wanted to forcefully block the Mountain Monarch Seal’s attack he would not be able to!

The Mountain Monarch Seal stopped three feet above Shi Nansheng’s head, but the destructive force of the artifact still existed. Shi Nansheng paled in an instant, how could he not know that he had lost!

The first person Shi Nansheng looked at was not the Yang Junshan who had defeated him, but the livid Shi Jiutong. Instead, he snorted coldly and turned his face away, pretending he did not see anything.

“Good, this battle is the victory of Tuqiu Village!”

Even though Song Wei tried his best to conceal it, his words carried a trace of excitement. However, the cultivators of the three powerful families did not see the hint of relief in his eyes, and only thought that it was because of the battle between the two that they were excited. In fact, not only Song Wei, even the other cultivators of the three families were astonished.

Although there were cultivators that died at his hands, and even those at the third level of the martial arts realm, those deaths were all because of him borrowing of external strength. Under the gazes of everyone present, he jumped ranks to challenge and fair and square defeat a cultivator at the second level of the martial arts realm, and furthermore, during the process of fighting, Yang Junshan had been steadily winning, so even Yang Junshan himself couldn’t help but feel a little excitement.

“Cough”, Song Wei suddenly coughed, and said: “This young man, seems like he is the young master of the Yang Cunzheng family?”

Yang Junshan’s heart moved, but took advantage of the moment when Song Wei started speaking to intensify his efforts to calm the spirit energy within his body, and did his best to restore the depletion of his spirit energy. At the same time, he replied: “Junior Yang Junshan, my father is Village Head.”

Song Wei nodded his head, and said: “Indeed, a tiger father does not have dogs, Young Noble Yang’s cultivation is so profound at such a young age, and can be considered outstanding amongst his peers in the entire Yuxian, may I dare ask, does Young Noble Yang have a master’s background, have you ever thought of joining my Heaven-Shaken Sect as a disciple?”

Song Wei spoke very slowly, as though he was trying to let everyone present hear what he was saying. The spirit energy in Yang Junshan’s body was circulating extremely quickly, and although the Wutu Spiritual Art was circulating extremely slowly, it was extremely stable, as spirit energy flowed through his body and quickly stabilized.

Yang Junshan said in a deep voice, “Half of what this junior has learned comes from my family, while the other half I have a master.”

Song Wei’s face revealed a look of disappointment, he no longer mentioned anything about entering the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and only said: I wonder if Young Master Yang’s history and background can be disclosed?

“About this,” Yang Junshan’s previously pale face started to recover gradually, but his expression was a little troubled: “Please forgive me, Mr. Song. Without teacher’s permission, this humble one cannot reveal his name.”

Song Wei carried a tinge of regret, and said: “It’s sucity, to be able to teach such an outstanding disciple, I guess your teacher is also a genius, it’s a pity that we were unable to meet.”

“Cough,” It was Steward Xiong Duanzhong who coughed. He interrupted the two and said: “Mr. Song, shouldn’t the fourth battle begin? Has Village Head Shi from Stone Village been waiting anxiously?”

This time, Shi Jiutong was not only anxious from waiting, he was so anxious that he almost started cursing. The biggest taboo in this battle of attrition was to give others the chance to take a breather, even if it was only for a short period of time, he would not be able to recover the spirit essence in his body, and would be able to calm the spirit essence in his opponent’s body as much as possible, so he would at least have the strength to fight.

Although Song Wei and Yang Junshan had only talked for a few short moments, it was enough for Yang Junshan to calm the spirit essence in his body and prepare for the upcoming battles.

Even though Shi Jiutong was sure that he could defeat the young man quickly, he was already at a disadvantage in the battle against Yang Tiangang, and did not want to waste any more spirit essence on Yang Junshan. He wanted to save every drop of spirit essence in his body as much as possible, so that he could prepare himself for the upcoming battle with Yang Tiangang.

However, it just so happened that Song Wei and Yang Junshan started to chat at this time. This made Shi Jiutong extremely anxious, yet he did not dare to directly interrupt their conversation to offend Song Wei.

At first, Xiong Ba Zhong was dissatisfied with Song Wei suddenly asking about Yang Junshan’s background, but that Yang Junshan was too shocking, Xiong Ba Zhong thought that he had met his before, and might have even thought of recruiting his. Therefore, although he opened his mouth to interrupt the two of them, Song Wei’s casual conversation did not bother him too much.

At this time, Song Wei had already achieved his goal, and smiled at Yang Junshan with a deeper meaning, but then, he patted his forehead in embarrassment, as though he was feeling extremely guilty from having forgotten himself, and said: “Then, the fourth battle, Yang Cunzheng’s son, Yang Junshan, will be fighting against Earth Stone Village’s Village Head, Shi Jiutong!”

Shi Jiutong took a big step forward, looked at Yang Junshan with an unkind expression, and said: “Brat, this Village Head is unwilling to bully this junior, and you are not my match either. Quickly get down, the most important thing is to call your father up.”

“Alright...”

Yang Junshan’s answer caused Shi Jiutong to be stunned for a moment, but he was immediately overjoyed. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Yang Junshan suddenly yell, “Then, you take my Imperial Seal!”

Shi Jiutong was enraged, but just as he was about to flare up, he saw a black seal rising up into the sky, following which it turned into a 10 meter long black shadow that descended down towards his head.

The process of the battle between Yang Junshan and Shi Nansheng was seen by Shi Jiutong. Although the seal in Yang Junshan’s hand was a low rank magical equipment, its quality was extremely compatible with the divine techniques that Yang Junshan trained in. It was so powerful that even Shi Jiutong did not dare be careless!

In reality, Shi Jiutong never thought that Yang Junshan would use his magic tool to smash everything he had, in his opinion, Yang Junshan must have taken advantage of the time while he was conversing with Song Wei to calm and recover the spirit essence in his body, but he never expected that after calming down the spirit essence in his body, Yang Junshan would not recover as much as he could, but instead accumulated all of his spirit essence that was initially depleted, and was about to finish exploding out in the process of fighting.

Shi Jiutong was a cultivator who transformed into baleful qi. Even if Yang Junshan had not fought with him before, he might not necessarily be his match with Shi Jiutong at his peak strength, since opening one’s Dantian was after all different from generating foul energy, while channeling foul energy was also different. It was as if every level of martial arts realm allowed one to search for and control a whole new realm at once.

Since he could not win, then he might as well burst out all of his strength and randomly fight, pretending to be a grandson and admit defeat after the fight. Since he was not embarrassed, and had been able to catch Shi Jiutong off guard during the battle, if that happened, his chances of meeting Shi Jiutong head on would be even greater.

In fact, Shi Jiutong never thought that the child in front of him would actually be so reckless as to smash on his face. If it was a normal situation, Shi Jiutong would not even need to retaliate in the first place, he only needed to defend against a few attacks to make the opponent completely exhausted. But it was impossible now, because the moment Yang Junshan attacked, had already seen that the child was purely trying to disgust him.

The clematis had already smashed down the ground within a radius of twenty to thirty zhang from the surrounding area, and had already turned the ground inthick layer of soil powder. Along with the spread of the magic power, it had also formed numerous waves that rose and fell on the ground.

This kind of large scale attack might have scattered the power of the spirit technique, but it was able to cause a cultivator like Shi Jiutong who had transformed into baleful qi to not be able to dodge, and could only choose to receive it head on!

It was obvious that this Shi Jiutong wasn’t like the others, who only borrowed the source of the evil energy to makrimer for himself and then broke through on their own. Rather, he completely absorbed the evil energy from the origin of the evil energy into his body, and then forcefully borrowed external strength to advance to the third stage of the martial arts realm.

In terms of power, these two methods were inseparable. However, in the long run, the self-nurturing baleful qi was the purest, and would help cultivators break through the fourth, fifth, and even the advanced realms of life.

However, at this time, Shi Jiutong did not even take out his own magic tool, and only used his own protective evil aura to dissolve the might of the clematis.

The clematis was simply unable to harm Shi Jiutong in the slightest, and was completely within Yang Junshan’s expectations. However, seeing how unscrupulously Shi Jiutong directly protected the baleful qi that was born from his dantian in front of him, Yang Junshan laughed coldly, waved his sleeve, and a ball of golden colored light exploded from the Mountain Monarch Seal, sweeping horizontally towards Shi Jiutong.

Shi Jiutong was obviously not prepared for this kind of unorthodox Spirit Arts, he bent his left and right middle fingers, and then suddenly shot out, forming two techniques in the air, trying to stop Yang Junshan’s Spirit Arts.

Previously, in order to block Shi Nansheng’s One Thought Five Techniques, Yang Junshan had used the magnetic light technique to destroy all five techniques, but now, Shi Jiutong was confident that he could use two techniques to break through the magnetic light technique.

If it was an ordinary person, it might be possible. But at this time, Yang Junshan revealed the smile of someone who had succeeded in his conspiracy, and revealed his Evil Qi. This Shi Jiutong might know that in the world of cultivation, there waype of Evil Qi called “Primary Magnetic Evil”, but he definitely did not know that the spirit technique he cultivated was called “magnetic light”!

Shi Jiutong’s two spells had indeed destroyed this ray of light, but the light that had dissipated did not dissipate likhread, but instead, like a fly smelling the stench of blood, it scattered and landed on Shi Jiutong’s body.
