Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 284 – Cooperation

There were currently six people on the Tan Xi Sect’s side, and only two of them were in the late stage of martial arts realm. Originally, these people should have been the first to barge into the cave mansion, and their gains should have been the greatest, so they were naturally the ones who were the most coveted by the newcomers, but this group of cultivators had a cultivator at the great perfection stage of the martial arts realm protecting them, and their strength was extremely profound. A few Perfection of the cultivator who had barged in to probe them, but none of them were this old man’s match.

Currently, the six remaining cultivators of the Tan Xi Sect were hiding amongst the rocks surrounding the cave dwelling. They included Yan Qinxi, Zhang Sunxing, Fang Xuansheng and the martial arts realm Perfection of the cultivator who were sent to protect Yan Qinxi.

At this moment, Yan Qinxi was trying to persuade Yan Zhong, who had been standing guard by her side the entire time, “Uncle Zhong, the few cultivators at the great circle of the martial arts realm have already entered the fourth layer of the formation, why don’t you go in to take a look as well? Initially, we were always ahead of the other sect cultivators, but now, in order to protect us, you, Uncle Zhong, have fallen behind the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Sirius Gate and the rest.

Yan Zhong categorically refused: “No, I promised the old master that when we are outside, I will protect the safety of Miss You!”

“But Uncle Zhong, if we continue to stay here, all the benefits will be taken away by others!”

Yan Zhong remained calm and said: “The task that the old master handed to this old servant is to protect young miss, not to dig out the treasures in the cave!”

Yan Qinxi said: “Right now, we are safe in hiding here. Right now, the situation between the various forces outside the cave is very complicated, no one will easily activate it.”

Yan Zhong sighed, then said: “Miss, now that we have gained quite a bit outside the cave, this is not the Xi’an County, and the Heaven-Shaken Sect is also not the Tan Xi Sect. We are outsiders, we will easily be targeted by others, and if we are happy, at least we can preserve the benefits in our hands!”

At this time, Zhang Sunxing suddenly spoke up, “Senior Yan, according to the information that our ancestor left behind, there should be many high quality treasures in the Sunset Cave, including the legacy of the Duskfall Elder. The ancestor even said that there might be a Spirit Treasure among the treasures that Duskfall Master left behind!”

“What? Spirit Weapon?” Fang Xuansheng exclaimed.

Even Yan Zhong’s expression changed. Yan Qinxi spoke without any trace of politeness: “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Zhang Sunxing said embarrassedly: “These were mostly the speculations of the ancestors, so …”

Yan Zhong looked deeply at Zhang Sunxing, and said: “Although this old servant is not an array master, but I have heard some things about formations in my life, not to mention whether this old servant can pass through the array in front of me, so what if I can?”

Seeing that everyone was confused, Yan Zhong explained: “Miss, now that everyone who wants to enter the cave is sure of the value of this Adept Realm Cultivator’s cave, but Miss has never thought about how such a formation would not attract the Adept Realm Cultivator’s attention, and how only martial arts realm cultivators come in?”

Yan Qinxi was shocked, and said: “Uncle Zhong, you mean …”

“Let’s not talk about other things, at least Ling Zhang County, Huyao County and Mengmeng are the first to go in, the three Adept Realm Cultivator s will definitely be paying close attention to this cave, and I’m afraid they are also training their own disciples, but once this cave is of enough value for them to handle, even if we want to, we won’t be able to escape!”

Hearing that, Yan Qinxi became hesitant, and just as Fang Xuansheng wanted to say something, he saw another cultivator from the Tan Xi Sect who was waiting at the third layer of array entrance rush over.

“Not good, there’s also an array master from Heaven-Shaken Sect!” The cultivator took a breath and continued, “And we know this person.”

“Who?” Yan Qinxi and Fang Xuansheng asked almost simultaneously.

“It’s that young man from the field market. We even exchanged two array flags with him. If it wasn’t for that Immovable Mountains Formation, we wouldn’t have been able to get here before everyone else.”

“It’s him?” It was obvious that this cave was the work of an array master. As an array master, Yang Junshan naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

“It’s him!” Compared to when Fang Xuansheng suddenly realized, Yan Qinxi’s expression was much more complicated.

Zhang Sunxing clapped his hands: “Oh no, among the martial arts realm Perfection of the cultivatohat have entered the Five Elements Formation, a Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect has brought a Array Master in. Now, another one has arrived, this Heaven-Shaken Sect is indeed worthy of being the number one sect in the Yuzhou.

At this time, Yan Zhong who was at the side suddenly spoke out: “Heaven-Shaken Sect’s array masters cannot rush here so quickly!”

“Why?” Zhang Sunxing obviously did not believe him, “As long as the Heaven-Shaken Sect receives the news, their formation masters will be able to arrive in less than two days!”

Yan Zhong shot a glance at Zhang Sunxing, and said indifferently: “If it’s really the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s formation master, then Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Adept Realm Cultivator would have arrived long ago!”

Yan Qinxi chuckled and said: “Uncle Zhong is right, but our relationship was a mess just now. The other true disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect who brought the formation master in earlier is a direct descendant of the mighty Xiong Family, and the formation master that we traded with is just a countryside brat from the Mengyu County. However, this small Mengyu County actually had two formation masters, which is certainly a blessing!”

At this time, Zhang Sunxing had a face full of doubt, and he muttered to himself: “Then why aren’t the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s formation masters here?”

Yan Qinxi and the rest pretended not to hear, at this time, Zhang Sunxing seemed to have understood something: In order to protect his family, he obtained Tan Xi Sect’s approval, and had already reported the situation regarding the Sunset Ridge’s cave, but Tan Xi Sect had not moved an inch, and had only sent few martial arts realm cultivators over, could it be that they were waiting for this opportunity?

If his guess was right, then those formation masters of the Heaven-Shaken Sect must have stopped somewhere, and if they could divert the attention of the Heaven-Shaken Sect from a possible cave of the Adept Realm Cultivator, then something even bigger and more secretive must have happened.

What could it be? Yan Qinxi, Fang Xuansheng and the others obviously knew about this, in their eyes, he was still an outsider!

This underground cave was clearly out of everyone’s expectations. Who would have thought that there would still be a stone forest here at the depth of several dozen zhang!

The owner of the cave had used the natural stone forest here to build a Five Elements Great Array, and the true inner core of the cave was located in the middle of the stone forest.

Liu Zhifei and the rest watched Yang Junshan walking around the stone forest with bated breath. From time to time, they would raise their heads to observe or analyze the situation.

After about an hour, Yang Junshan’s forehead was already covered with sweat, Liu Zhifei and the rest were slowly starting to get anxious, just at this time, Yang Junshan finally stood up and took a deep breath, then turned and walked back.

“Little Yang, how is it? Are you confident?”

Yang Junshan thought for a while and said: “This Five Elements Formation is still a Spiritual Rank Formation!”

Everyone was happy, and then they heard Yang Junshan continue: “But in the end, it’s the work of the Adept Realm Cultivator, so this Five Elements Formation is considered one of the top spirit rank array formations, with my skill, trying to break it open is impossible, even if I want to pass through it I have no chance, at most I can only bring everyone to walk around the edge of the array!”

Liu Zhifei said with some dissatisfaction: “Is there really no other way?”

Yang Junshan shook his head: “Unless a Great Perfection of the martial arts realm comes along, this lowly one still has the guts to rush in!”

No one knew what to do next. Senior Zhou sighed, “The benefits from this trip will give Senior Xiong the first opportunity to enter. He brought a formation spell master from his clan with him!”

“That might not be the case!” “I have seen Xiong Xizhe’s attainments in formations, and it was slightly less than mine. The only thing I need to worry about is that this person has a set of Chess s, but even so, they could at most only be a little closer to the center of the formation. It would probably be difficult for them to find the cave in the center of the formation.”

Zhang Yueming suddenly spoke out: “Senior Brother Yang, I think you might have neglected Senior Brother Xiong’s ability.”

Yang Junshan was startled, and said: “Breaking the array depends on one thing, and two things, cultivation is indeed very important, and that is why this one said to break through the array’s inner layer need to have a formation master and a perfect Martial Realm Cultivator working together.”

Zhang Yueming shook his head, and said: “Brother Yang, you do not understand what I mean, you might not know what the true inheritance of our sect means, they are not simply at the great circle of the fifth stage of the martial arts realm, they possess many more secret techniques and abilities than cultivators of the same realm, and their strength is also much stronger, even the inner disciples of our sect who have also pushed their cultivation to the great circle of perfection, are still a far cry compared to these true disciples!”

“I understand!” Yang Junshan was silent for a moment, but he still could not help but say: “If I had that set of Chess, even if I did not have Perfection of the cultivator to accompany me, I would not be worse than that Xiong Xiying!”

Liu Zhifei laughed: “No matter what, since Xiao Yang is confident, we must take a walk inside this array. Although we cannot find the cave’s core, it is better than standing outside the array and watching!”

“Since that’s the case, if we work together, will we be able to travel even further in the midst of the Five Elements Great Array?” A voice suddenly came from behind a stone wall not too far away.
