Sovereign to Immortality

Initially, Lu Jing was surprised by Yang Junshan’s achievements in array formation, but after coming to Heaven-Shaking Peak, Yang Junshan’s performance had obviously disappointed him, and now that he had picked a place that was extremely difficult to break through, he had no choice but to tactfully raise his objections.

Unexpectedly, Yang Junshan actually laughed: “Senior Lu is too courteous, this is not only not a good place to break through, it can even be said to be the most difficult place in Heaven-Shaking Peak.”

At this time, Ning Qing no longer hid and asked, “Then why did you still choose this place?”

Yang Junshan laughed, then asked: “Senior, do you think that the restrictions in this part of the forest has a greater chance of nurturing an immortal spirit?”

Ning Qing thought for a moment and said, “The chances of getting a celestial spirit are still very high. But no matter how good a celestial spirit is, apart from a limited number of materials that can be used as high level spirit materials, the rest is just for the novices. It’s completely useless to us.”

Yang Junshan then asked Lu Jing: “Then Senior, do you think that we have the confidence to break this restriction?”

In fact, when Yang Junshan had stopped here, Lu Jing and Ning Qing had already started to inspect the light barrier. Yang Junshan could see that although the two of them were not array masters, they were both veteran array masters who had immersed themselves in many years of experience.

Lu Jing muttered to himself for a moment, then said: “It’s not that there’s no other way, it’s just that it’s too troublesome, it’s just that the materials used are too much, and even if we find high quality immortal spirits, the gains would not make up for the losses. More importantly, we need to go deeper into the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins, the first layer of light barrier is already so hard to break, so what about the second, the third, and even further?”

Yang Junshan nodded his head, then smiled: “Senior is right, but what if, what if the next restriction is not as difficult to break as I thought?”

“That’s fine, but how would you know?”

Yang Junshan gave an enigmatic laugh as if he had understood something. “It’s a bit abrupt, but it seems like it’s related to little friend’s own secret inheritance.”

What does this have to do with anything? The reason why Yang Junshan was so sure of this was because the memories of his past life told him that this was the ninth of the nine deepest forbidden passages that led to the deepest parts of the Heaven-Shaking Peak!

Before this passage was discovered, there were only eight tunnels that went deeper into the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak. The reason why this tunnel was not discovered yet was because the first layer of the seal was too difficult to break through.

It was only until one time, when tens of cultivators started fighting over the treasures here, that they accidentally broke the barrier in the forest. Because they were afraid of the backlash from the forbidden array, they scattered like birds and beasts, but in the end, the forbidden array did not move at all.

When this passage was opened, the other eight tunnels had already been excavated for more than ten years. However, after this passage was opened, it only took a few years to catch up to the other eight tunnels.

Although everyone had expected that this layer of light was not easy to break, when they really started, they realized that this layer of light was even harder to break than they had imagined.

“Young friend Yang’s technique is indeed mysterious. It can greatly weaken the barrier of the light barrier, but it is still far from enough to break it!”

Lu Jing shook his head regretfully. In fact, when Yang Junshan quickly found the weak link in the light barrier and used different materials to set up a method to break through it, the two of them were already sure that Yang Junshan’s array technique was not ordinary, and was even stronger than them, which caused the remaining sense of injustice in their hearts to disappear.

However, the intensity of the Inhibition Formation in the forest had far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Even though Yang Junshan’s methods were profound, they felt that it was far from enough to break this barrier.

Yang Junshan did not even lift his head as he continued, “Since we can’t completely break it, then we will just have to put in more effort. Everyone will work together to forcefully break this barrier, after all we have eleven people.”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and Ning Qing was extremely dissatisfied: “Little friend Yang, how could you be so reckless? With the power of our team, coupled with your methods, we might be able to break through the barrier, but what should we do if we break through it forcefully and cause the backlash of the forbidden array?”

Lu Jing also frowned: “The more powerful the seal residual array, the easier it is to trigger a chain reaction between the seal residual array.”

Yang Junshan said casually, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any backlash!”

Ning Qing immediately asked, “How do you know?”

Seeing Yang Junshan smile and not replying, Ning Qing said unhappily, “Is it related to your inheritance technique again?”

Seeing that, Yang Junping touched his shoulder, and said softly: Brother?

Yang Junshan laughed: “Everyone, rest assured, if there is really a large-scale backlash ban, could it be that my brothers and I will be harmed as well?”

One must know that among the 11 people, 5 of them were members of the Yang Family, Yang Junping was his direct blood brother, even if he wanted to kill them, he did not want to drag down his own brothers.

“I believe him!”

Yan Qinxi’s tone was resolute and decisive, Yan Zhong, who was standing behind her, raised his hand as if she wanted to stop her, but in the end, she was unable to, but after thinking for a while, he lowered his hand, and in the end, did not say a word.

Seeing that Yan Qinxi was so supportive, Ning Bin could only laugh helplessly, and said: “I still owe brother Yang my life, why not bet with brother Yang this time.”

Following Yang Junshan’s activation of the formation that was used to weaken the barrier of light, the barrier of light in the forest started to flicker. The enormous spirit energy brought abouowling gale, blowing the number of people in the forest upside down and breaking apart.

“Now is the time. Everyone attack together!”

Yang Junshan bellowed, the spirit of breaking mountain was the first to make a move, while Yan Qinxi, who was standing beside him, seemed to have come tacit agreement, as she also brandished her gold taibai blade. The two of them fused once again using their spirit techniques, and the power that erupted instantly caused the other cultivators to be shocked.

However, although the others were shocked, they did not delay to unleash the divine abilities in their hands. Lu Jing and Yan Zhong each had their own Tan Xi Sect’s spirit techniques and divine abilities, while the three Ning Family cultivators, Ning Bin, Ning Qing and Ning He had all mastered them. However, what truly shocked the cultivators of both sides was the performance of the other Yang Family cultivators.

Jiu Li and Wu Shuo were fine, everyone had previously seen Jiu Li’s strength, but now that he had levelled up to the third stage, his strength was not stable, and did not dare to use his full strength, looking at him, he was slightly stronger than everyone else.

Wu Shuo, on the other hand, was at the level of perfect completion. Although the divine abilities he used were strange, there were three thousand abilities in world spirit techniques. No one dared to say that they could recognize all three thousand spirit techniques.

What truly surprised them was the strength that Yang Junping and Su Baozhang had displayed. Yang Junping’s clematis split the ground beneath his feet into a foot-wide crack that extended into the barrier of light, while Su Baozhang’s spirit of breaking mountain was similarly powerful. Although the two were only in the baleful qi realm, they had the strength of late stage martial arts realm cultivators.

“Puchi …”

A sound like that of silk tearing came from the barrier screen in front of them. A huge crack appeared from the top down. The long and narrow crack didn’t guarantee that everyone could pass through it.

“Again!”

Yang Junshan roared out, and once again gathered all the spirit energy in his body. The spirit of breaking mountain was already prepared to strike.

The other cultivators were shocked that Yang Junshan’s ability transformation would be so swift, they had no choice but to increase the circulation of the spirit energy in their bodies, and then condense the ability again. However, in order to maintain the maximum power of the technique, Yang Junshan could only temporarily wait.

The second time the eleven spirit arts and abilities were shot out, the entire barrier was like a giant drum that had been broken by a hammer and revealed a huge hole.

“Let’s go!”

Yang Junshan took the lead to rush into the barrier of light, with everyone following behind him.

Not long after everyone had entered the barrier, the broken barrier of light began to close up and restore itself. There were shadows of people flashing in different directions in the forest, and then silence returned.

In less than an incense’s time, Yan Qinxi’s group of people had actually rushed in from the west side of the Heaven-Shaking Peak. The news spread far and wide, and after the various factions received it, there were some that ridiculed them, some that were suspicious, and some that were indifferent, it seemed like it did not cause too much of a commotion.

And now, on the first level of the barrier of light, Lu Jing looked at the fifty to sixty gigantic trees that were being nourished by spirit energy, smacked his lips, and said: “It seems that the possibility of these trees nurturing a Celestial Spirit is not small!”

Ning He smiled and said, “I’m afraid the quality is not low either. If we can find more than ten high grade immortal spirits, then it would be worthwhile for us to waste so much energy to open this barrier.”

Everyone burst into laughter. Even though they knew that Ning He’s words were just for show, they couldn’t help but have some expectations when they saw the huge trees brimming with spiritual energy. A dozen high grade immortal spirits was unrealistic, even eight or ten would do!

Just when everyone’s attention was attracted to these huge trees, Yang Junshan’s gaze was attracted three foot tall sapling in the middle of the forest.

Different from the other huge trees that were nourished by the spirit energy, the small tree sapling was actually absorbing the surrounding spirit energy by itself. Even though the fluctuation was extremely weak, it was still caught by Yang Junshan’s sharp senses, and he could even feel that the small tree sapling had a bit of Spirit Demon Qi growing on it, it was actually a small tree Spirit Demon.
