Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1206 – Purple Stones

Yang Junshan quietly listened to Daoist Liang’s mutter under the thunder well. However, when he heard that the other party was planning to leak out the existence of the thunder well, he could no longer remain indifferent and appeared above the thunder well once more.

“You …”

Even though Daoist Liang had already made up his mind to betray his sect, the moment he saw the envoy of his sect, he could not help but shiver. “Dare, dare I ask if this is the face of the envoy of my sect?”

Yang Junshan slightly sighed, and said: “My apologies, but it is impossible for this Yang to continue watching you divulge the secrets of the thunder lagoon!”

It was clear that Daoist Liang was also a cunning old fox. When Yang Junshan had sighed, he already knew that the situation was not good, and a ball of purple energy circled around him, attempting to escape.

However, how could a mere early stage Dao Realm existence walk away so easily in front of Yang Junshan? Even if Yang Junshan’s strength had been greatly reduced.

The existence of the lightning barrier was able to stop Yang Junshan from leaving the thunder well, but it was limited by the amount of weakening of his abilities. Otherwise, if they were to head to the Outer World and need the Haotian’s mirror’s permission, the Purple Clouds Sect would not be able to control the Three Purities Sect just by appearing in the thunder well for nearly a thousand years.

Yang Junshan extended a finger and lightly tapped it, immediately dispersing the purple energy that surrounded the tribesmen who were over thirty meters away. At the same time, his entire body felt like it had been struck by lightning, as his body trembled and he fell onto the ground.

Yang Junshan waved his hand outwards, and a green and gold intertwined spiritual light rolled on the ground, bringing Daoist Liang to his feet.

Looking at the severely injured Taoist Duren who was vomiting blood at his feet, Yang Junshan’s expression did not change, and he asked: “Where exactly is the location of this place?”

Despite being seriously injured and on the verge of death, Daoist Duren Liang still revealed a look of surprise when he heard Yang Junshan’s question. However, he immediately realized something and laughed loudly, regardless of the blood that leaked out of his mouth, “You, you’re not the envoy of Glory Sect. Haha, did you reveal the secret of Lei Jing to the Glory Sect?”

Yang Junshan’s lowered eyes were still calm as he said in a calm and emotionless voice, “You better answer my question, or perhaps I will consider letting you die a little more quickly!”

Daoist Duo Liang coughed as he tried to support his upper body. He said with a cold smile, “This old man has long since wished to die. I still have a method to commit suicide.”

Yang Junshan frowned slightly, and said: “This place seems to be not far from the Three Purities Sect’s training hall, if you do not tell me, I might not be able to destroy the entire Three Purities Sect, but I am confident that I will be able to destroy a small portion of it. Are you sure you will not say?”

Speak, why didn’t you say so? From the moment I betrayed the Glory Sect, our sect’s training hall was no longer safe.

As the life force in Taoist Liang’s body began to dissipate, his complexion began to turn ashen, but a calm and strange smile still appeared on his face.

“Qiong Tian Star Realm, Karakorum Star Palace, the small star system at the edge of the Heavenly Wind Star Region. Hehe, you must remember this. You must remember this. It will definitely be very lively then. It’ity, a pity.”

Although Yang Junshan had only been to the Nine Links Star Palace once, he had after all been in the Outer Realm for more than a decade, so he naturally had some understanding of the Starry Sky Great World.

The regions of the universe were divided according to their size. Although they were divided into galaxies, star fields, star palaces, star realms, and there were even galaxies above, the latter was only a relatively vague concept, not a specific region.

If the space major world was considered as a whole, then the entire space could be divided into 25 star realms.

Amongst them, the Stellar Cliff Star Region that Yang Junshan had visited before belonged to Nine Links Star Palace, who was located in the Yuantian Star Realm, one of the twenty-five star realms of the Starry Sky Great World.

The Nine Links Star Palace itself was a very small and remote region. There were no less than ten star palaces in the entire Yuantian Star Realm.

If a single Yuantian Star Realm was this big, then it was needless to say just how vast the entire Starry Sky Great World, which had twenty-five star realms, was.

“If it’s the Heavenly Star Realm, then …” Yang Junshan recalled the label on the star map. “It doesn’t seem to be far from the Circulatory World, and it’s at least much closer than the Yuantian Star Realm where Nine Links Star Palace is.”

“But it’s also true. Although the few secret lands in the cultivation world have some sort of connection with the regions outside the realms, it’s still impossible for them to appear in a star realm that is too far away from the Circulatory World itself.”

Just as Yang Junshan was thinking about the specific locations of the Heavenly Star Realm’s Karakorum Palace and Heavenly Wind Star Region, the light in Daoist Liang’s eyes gradually faded.

Yang Junshan suddenly regained his senses, seeing that, he immediately asked: “Where is the Three Purities Sect’s inheritance?”

As he spoke, he once more took action, wanting to prolong Daoist Liang’s life.

Furthermore, he had previously obtained the inheritance of the “Three Purities Purple Clouds” from Daoist Miao Huang, so Yang Junshan did not need to think to guess that the Three Purities Sect must have an extension of the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers. It was an inheritance that belonged to the Three Purities Sect.

However, right before he died, Daoist Liang glanced at Yang Junshan witint of ridicule in his eyes, as if he was saying, “If you want the inheritance, you can take it yourself!”

Yang Junshan withdrew his extended palm. Even though Daoist Liang had suffered the attack of his Heaven Constitution Finger, and even though there was no good reason, he still chose to end his own life. It was clear that he did not want to reveal any more.

Yang Junshan also understood his plans, maybe Daoist Liang didn’t know where the thunder lagoon led to, but he had definitely realized the importance of this path, so he could only attract the attention of the various forces, and only then, would he be able to causuge conflict by surrounding the thunder lagoon, and possibly take revenge against the “Sacred Sect”, which was a high up sect in his eyes, which was also the Violet Firmament Pavilion.

However, what Daoist Liang did not know was that this mineshaft was perhaps even more important than he had imagined. It was so important that even the “Sacred Sect” Violet Firmament Pavilion s in his eyes might not be able to deal with it.

Yang Junshan took all of the storage treasures that Daoist Liang had, and looked through them. As expected, he did not find any other inheritances like the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, and was greatly disappointed.

However, Yang Junshan felt that there was no need to drag himself into this mess just for a “Three Purities Purple Clouds” ability, and the most important thing right now was to get out of this mess.

He then turned the body of Daoist Liang into dust, and with a “ding” sound, something fell to the ground.

Yang Junshan let out a “eh” sound. When he looked over, he saw that Daoist Liang was originally standing there, but had left behind a purple-colored round stone. At first glance, it was actually quite similar to the three purple crystals that Yang Junshan had gotten from Daoist Miao Huang.

Yang Junshan stretched out his hand and the round, purple-coloured rock directly passed through the lightning barrier and landed in his hand.

Carefully playing with the round stone in his hand, Yang Junshan’s expression became even more astonished.

The essence of the spirit contained within this purple boulder was extremely rich and pure; it was even full of spirituality. Clearly, it could not breasure, so it was most likely a treasure from heaven and earth.

It was just that Yang Junshan did not recognize it, and was not even able to identify its type.

“Looks like the fact that Taoist Liang was able to advance into the Dao Realm under the strict control of the Violet Firmament Pavilion was not unreasonable. This purple round stone should have been his greatest opportunity, but unfortunately, it ended up in my hands. Un, I must investigate what kind of treasure this round stone is when I return.”

After putting the round purple rock away, Yang Junshan thought for a while before using the “Earthshaking Mountain” Sacred Art. The surrounding terrain of the thunder well immediately started to change, and after he had sunk into the thunder well and left the place, the surrounding crumbling cliffs and earth started to pile up, covering the thunder well.

Although Yang Junshan knew that it wouldn’t be long before someone else would discover the existence of the mine tunnel, the only thing he could do now was to delay it for as long as possible.

The lake in the lightning marshland completely formed from lightning liquid once again surged forth. After Yang Junshan returned from the passage under the lake, he did not stay any longer.

As the previous Sect Leader of the Violet Firmament Pavilion, and now even the Great Divine Cultivator of the Lightning Calamity, Daoist Miao Huang’s position in the Violet Firmament Pavilion was naturally extremely high. Yang Junshan was almost certain that the moment Daoist Miao Huang had fallen, the Violet Firmament Pavilion had already received the news and sent people over to investigate. Naturally, he would not stay any longer, and would leave the Thunder Marsh before the people from the Violet Firmament Pavilion arrived.

The lightning marsh was a special place in the cultivation world. After arriving here, only Huagai’s field cultivators who were about to undergo tribulation and Lightning Calamity cultivators who had completed their tribulation here would not be struck by lightning, regardless of what cultivation they had.

However, this did not seem to broblem for the Violet Firmament Pavilion. As a top power that had trained and cultivated the World Lightning Travelling Faction, the Violet Firmament Pavilion that guarded the Laizhou for thousands of years naturally had their own unique method of avoiding the lightning.

Not long after Yang Junshan left the lightning swamp, two streaks of light flashed through the lightning, all the way towards the place where Daoist Miao Huang had fought her battle last. That was also where Yang Junshan was undergoing his tribulation.

As the light disappeared, two cultivators wearing purplish-red cloaks revealed themselves. One of them had a thin appearance with a strand of grey hair below his chin while the other one had a slightly plump and pale face.

The lightning in the sky, which was originally aimed towards the two of them, was unexpectedly obstructed by an inexplicable force in the air. It turned a corner in the air and struck a black stone about 1000 feet away from them.

The cultivator witale face and no beard held a broken purple jade in his hand. He looked around and said, “Senior Brother Miao Chi, this should be where Senior Brother Miao Huang perished!”
