Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 705 – Backdoor

Adept Chi Xiao let out a bitter laugh. “I havlan as well, but it might not be as effective as you, fellow Daoist Silent. However, I do have some tricks up my sleeves that might be able to speed up the process of breaking the barrier, just like Adept Little Yang did.”

The difficulty of breaking through the light barrier at the entrance of the secret room did not lie in how difficult it was to break the barrier, but in how to break it or hide it from the entire forbidden array that was connected to the barrier. Otherwise, if one was careless and caused a backlash, the entire forbidden array would suffeuge backlash.

Daoist Master Zhuge Wuqing smiled and said, “I’m confident that I can shorten the time needed to break through the light barrier to only three days after hiding from the forbidden array. However, I think it’s best to take a look at Fellow Zhu’s method first!”

Adept Zhu’s two methods were very simple. One method was similar to the two Gongzi Spirit Masters, they both needed to spend their time avoiding the connection between the big formation. The second method seemed to be a bit risky, but it could shorten the time by half.

“By borrowing the power of the various Adepts, they are able to force a gap in the light screen to let an array master in and then coordinate with each other...”

The expression on Adept Zhu’s face did not change as he said, “This way, we can save more than half of our time. It might even take one to two hours to break through the formation!”

Lin Canghai interrupted and asked: “Since there is a gap that can be forcefully opened, then why can only one person be allowed inside?”

Adept Zhu’s expression did not change as he said, “Because breaking through forcefully would only take a moment, and in such a short period of time, only one person would be able to pass through the barrier. If it took too long, it would definitely be discovered by the entire forbidden array, and this method can only be used once!”

The Adept Chang Li thought for a moment, then said: “Then, what does it mean to say is that when you will forcefully break through, and which direction you will focus all of your energy to break through in? This, will the Adept Zhu be the one to say all of this?”

The Adept Zhu did not care about the sneer on the other cultivators’ faces and said seriously: “That’s right, I know that you all do not trust me, but I do not need to hide it from you all. My Heaven-Shaken Sect does indeed have some experience in breaking through forbidden array, in terms of array techniques, I might not be as good as you all, but in this Heaven-Shaking Peak, I’m afraid that my ability might even surpass Master Zhuge!”

“Moreover, when and where the most vulnerable part of this light screen will appear, I’m afraid only I, Zhu Jun, can deduce it through the documents left behind by my sect!”

Great Daoist Master Zhuge was naturally referring to Zhuge Wuqing, and Zhuge Wuqing did not seem to have any objections to this. On the other hand, Zhuge Wuqing had a mocking expression on his face as he said, “Adept Zhu’s meaning is, it seems like the most suitable person to force your way through the gap is yourself?”

Adept Zhu acted as if he did not see the mockery on Zhuge’s face, and replied loudly, “That’s right!”

“Hehe …”

Many Adepts began to laugh.

It seems that I can only choose to break through a little aime. When the time comes, I will be able to coordinate with you fellow daoists to break through the formation forcefully, and with the secret arts of the Taoist Little Yang, I hope that I can shorten the time needed to break through the barrier to two days. After all, you all hold high positions in your respective sects, like me, the Adept Chang Li, Spiritual Master Lin, and Fellow Daoist Seven Suns are all people from their own sects.

On the other side, Yang Junshan, Zhuge Wujing and Sage Chi Xiao had all observed the delayed results of their respective Chess plates and unanimously confirmed that they would use Spiritual Master Zhuge Wuqing’s deduction process as a basis, and Adept Zhu’s deduction as a complement. The other three would assist them in breaking through the secret room’s barrier.

With suclan in mind, the five array masters split up and worked together as if they had a tacit agreement. As for the other array masters, they didn’t know what to do and could only follow the commands of the five, doing things they didn’t know.

The five Spiritual Masters had prepared a large amount of array setup equipment. According to the rules, before everyone went their separate ways, the various sects would share all the array equipment as long as they joined hands in the Heaven-Shaking Peak.

Aside from his savings, Yang Junshan also had a portion of the array laying equipment that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Tan Xi Sect provided him with free funding. Adding to that the array laying equipment he had borrowed from the Adept Qiyang, the amount of materials he had on him could be said to be unprecedented.

These were all made by the array masters themselves. Different array masters often had their own unique refining methods of array elemental sand, but most of the time, they only had one type of effect, and that was to break the runes of the array, weakening, disrupting, and even obstructing the operation of the array.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Wuyu and Daoist Master Chi Xiao were fiddling with the stone wall around the light screen at the entrance. Meanwhile, Yang Junshan directly sent a few grains of sand, formed from Zhen Yuan, into the light screen under the astonished gazes of Zhuge Wuqing and the Adept Zhu.

“Hu, what nonsense. How can you do that?” Adept Zhu was so angry that he couldn’t even speak properly.

Zhuge Wuqing’s expression was also a bit ugly as he said, “Daoist Master Yang, this doesn’t seem to be right. This is a node that Fellow Zhu and I finally figured out. The formation array formation is affecting the entire body, and if you randomly interfere, could it be a secret technique that just claimed that it can weaken the formation?”

Yang Junshan smiled and pointed to the light barrier array behind the two of them. Without even waiting for the two to turn their heads, they heard the surprised “Eh” sounds of Zhuge Wujing and Sage Chi Xiao coming from beside them.

The two formation masters knew that something was off, and immediately turned around, only to see that the barrier which was originally flickering with spiritual light had suddenly darkened. As long as one wasn’t a fool, they could see that the barrier’s light barrier had already been greatly weakened, and did not cause any backlash from the forbidden array.

Yang Junshan’s slightly apologetic voice came from behind the two of them: “Hehe, because it’s difficult for this one to know the secret technique of array inlay, if the two Spiritual Masters were to see, you would definitely be able to deduce this secret technique of junior’s. It’s not that this junior is taking it for granted, it’s just that the two seniors’ array formation attainments are making this junior feel uneasy, I hope everyone does not mind this junior’s little thoughts.”

Yang Junshan had already lowered his stance to the lowest possible level. Although Zhuge Wuqing and the Adept Zhu were angry at Yang Junshan for taking the initiative, they couldn’t say anything more. The most important thing was that Yang Junshan’s secret technique was obviously effective, causing the various cultivators in the secret room to be pleasantly surprised.

Arraying techniques, on the other hand, was extremely strange. However, it was truly astonishing. He just didn’t know who exactly this person’s master was.

Zhuge Wuqing was very knowledgeable in the area of formations, but he had never seen such a strange secret technique before. He could not help but say coldly, “Next time, remember to greet us so that we can be prepared. With our status, would we covet Taoist Little Yang’s skills?”

Yang Junshan smiled slightly and said: “I am being petty!”

Originally, Zhuge Wuqing thought that it would take at least two days to break through the barrier. However, if Yang Junshan continued his incantation, he would be able to save at least an entire day to break through the barrier.

In reality, Yang Junshan had played a fool with this matter. The array setting technique was just a method of laying down the array formation, it did not have the ability to weaken the barrier at all. What truly weakened the barrier was the result of Yang Junshan’s many years of deductions.

It had to be known that Yang Junshan had already arrived at the top of the mountain secret room while he was still in the martial arts realm. Not only had he completely imprinted the runes on the secret room, which had been used up and destroyed by the large number of Sky Execution platters, he was also the first to study and deduce the forbidden array’s barrier of light. The results of Yang Junshan’s many years of deductions and deductions were naturally not something that the other four formation masters could deduce after spending two or three hours here.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and the barrier of light enveloping the barrier had become dimmer and dimmer. However, the further one went, the more cautious one had to be, because the barrier’s light barrier’s weakening would cause one to be careless and alert the entire forbidden array. Aesult, as time passed, the barrier of light screen’s weakening had actually become slower.

Just at this time, the Adept Zhu suddenly spoke out: “This one broke through forcefully just now, and senerson over, and then coordinated with everyone. Don’t blame this one for not reminding everyone, if this method succeeds, we can at least save half a day!”

“Who knows what’s behind that barrier? If there’s a bunch of cultivation resources behind it, who would know if you swept them all clean?”

The Adept Zhu snorted as he said with an ashen face: “Outside of the secret room is a mountain platform. Usually, it’s a sect disciple’s playground, it’s nolace with accumulated resources!”

“If you say it’s not true, then it’s true. Which of you here knows whether what you say is true or false?”

“Yeah, this is your Heaven-Shaken Sect’s ancestral land, who knows what kind of trap it would be inside. It would be fine if you cultivate resources, but if your Adept Zhu was unlucky and wanted to spread the hatred from Heaven-Shaken Sect’s destruction on us, wouldn’t we be tricked to death by you guys?”

This time, we should not have let the Heaven-Shaken Sect participate in this, who knows if they are harboring evil intentions!

Just when everyone was clamoring, Zhang Yueming suddenly “Hehe” coldly laughed, and said: “Everyone, don’t worry, our Heaven-Shaken Sect doesn’t want to end the inheritance. If all of you were to be trapped in the Heaven-Shaking Peak, I’m afraid that the first thing the various sects of the Yuzhou would do would be to eliminate the legacy of my Magnetic Birth Mountain indiscriminately, right?”

When everyone heard this, they all went silent. After a while, a certain person coldly snorted and said, “Hmph, it’s good that you know this!”

At this time, another cultivator taunted: “If you want to force your way through the barrier, it’s not impossible. Don’t you guys have rules among array masters that allow you to do whatever you want without using any external power? If you have the ability, your Adept Zhu will not borrow our power, and will rely on your own to break through the barrier.”

“Mm, there is indeed sucule among array masters!”

A voice suddenly sounded. The cultivator who made fun of the Heaven-Shaken Sect did not expect anyone to reply him and was startled. When he looked over, he saw Yang Junshan asking the Spiritual Master Zhuge Wuqing with a serious expression: “Senior Zhuge, is it?”

Zhuge Wuqing furrowed his brows and asked, “What does Taoist Little Yang want to say?”

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Yang Junshan’s face, Zhuge Wuqing’s heart sunk, as though he had thought of something unbelievable. Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop Yang Junshan, he saw a gigantic axe suddenly appearing in Yang Junshan’s hand, which was then chopped towards a corner of the barrier, and with a “chi la” sound, a one foot long crack appeared. Without waiting for anyone to react, Yang Junshan leaped through the crack, and then, the hole rapidly shrank and closed back to its original state.

“What, what, what the f * ck is this?”

“He, how did he pass through?”

“That’s impossible, didn’t the Adept Zhu say that they need the help of many Spiritual Cultivators in order to forcefully activate it?”

The people in the secret room, along with the other four formation masters, instantly went into an uproar. Yang Junhao had already heard his fourth brother’s warning beforehand, and seeing the situation in the secret room, he immediately hid behind Adept Qiyang.
