Chapter 393 The Battle of Heavenly Secrets
As expected—this leader of the demonic path possessed many life-saving secret techniques, making complete extermination quite troublesome. Fang Qing fell into deep thought.
Before long, a female cultivator in a palace dress came forward carrying a tray.
"What do you think of these items, fellow Daoist? Are they suitable?"
All that could be heard was the old voice of the Grand Palace Master.
Fang Qing glanced at the tray and saw a tattered piece of a black robe, a broken bone blade, and a bottle of strange essence blood.
"That's enough, thank you, Grand Palace Master."
He smiled slightly, reached out and swept away all the odds and ends; though they were tattered, they were the basis for divination.
With this dimensional reduction attack, that old monster will have no chance of escaping.
"Fellow Daoist possesses extraordinary talent; you may well reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future—would you be willing to join my Water Moon Palace?"
The old palace master, with his wrinkled skin and white hair, suddenly said, "If you are willing to join the Water Moon Palace, all of my treasures and inheritances will be open to you."
"The Grand Palace Master?"
The Second Palace Master, standing nearby, was clearly taken aback by the First Palace Master's reaction and his expression turned anxious.
"Join the Water Moon Palace?"
Fang Qing's expression was ambiguous, a half-smile on his face: "No need—I'm used to a life of leisure."
"That's a real pity, I've lost a talent—Fellow Daoist, do you intend to hunt down the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster alone? That old demon was able to escape from the hands of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, even if it was just an avatar, he's still not to be underestimated. Would you like me to lend you a hand?"
After being rejected, the Grand Palace Master remained calm and inquired indifferently.
"No need."
Fang Qing chuckled, took a step out, entered the void, and his figure vanished without a trace.
"The Grand Palace Master? He—"
The Grand Palace Master waved her hand, and only after everyone had returned to the Water Moon Palace, where there were more protective arrays and restrictions, did she say softly, "Do you think my judgment was wrong?"
"Although that person was also a high-level cultivator, he was an outsider whose background and origins were unclear—"
The Second Palace Master said urgently.
"Ahem—Although he's an outsider, he's young enough, younger than us old folks—more skilled in combat, and possesses a Void Spiritual Root—even if he struggles to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future, he'll be enough to suppress the cultivation world of the East Sea for five or six hundred years!"
The First Palace Master's sharp gaze swept over the Second Palace Master: "Do you know that my informants on Merchant Island have reported back—the entire Merchant Island community treats this person with utmost respect, even though he was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage at the time!"
The Second Palace Mistress was speechless for a moment: "How could this be?"
"It's a pity this person is unwilling to join our sect, otherwise our sect would be safe for a thousand years—"
The Grand Palace Master sighed, a mysterious glint flashing in his eyes: "Since this person only wishes to be a rogue cultivator, then contact Lei Yin... that old fellow Long Shu knows what to do."
"yes!"
The Second Palace Master felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the Water Moon Palace and the Thunder Sound Temple had a tacit understanding and did not want to see any Nascent Soul cultivators appear in other forces!
Such a plan requires utmost caution; otherwise, if even the slightest clue is discovered, it will often invite a formidable enemy to our sect!
But so what? The desire for mystical arts and experience remains—only our sect and Leiyin Temple possess these supreme secrets. Even the slightest mistake will condemn one to a lifetime of oblivion, preventing them from ever reaching the Divine Realm.
As long as no one reaches the Nascent Soul stage, both families can live without worry!
The vast emptiness is hazy and indistinct.
"Hmm? I'm having this strange sudden urge—it seems like Shuiyue Palace and Leiyin Temple are plotting against me?"
Fang Qing sneered and then ignored him.
Let Zhan Hongxiu deal with these two monsters.
With the opponent's good fortune, and now having condensed the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they will eventually destroy both of them and avenge Elder Gui.
How can a woman of destiny grow without encountering villains?
Once Zhan Hongxiu has destroyed these two top-tier forces, she will be close to reaching the Nascent Soul stage and should then advance to the Deity stage.
Fang Qing was very much looking forward to this, after all, once a Nascent Soul cultivator reaches the Qi Absorption stage, how to transform their cultivation techniques, sense their golden position, and how to ascend, and what risks are involved in the ascension process, all require guinea pigs—
He held a piece of clothing in his hand and secretly used divination techniques to make calculations.
Tianji Island.
Rumble!
A colossal island appeared in the sky, overflowing with a bloodthirsty aura, like a sea of blood, and carrying a sense of oppression over all living beings, before crashing down.
"Blood Fiend Island?!"
"Not good—the demonic cultivators are attacking the island! Defend immediately!"
On Tianji Island, one after another, strange ape puppet beasts raised their hands, revealing thick cannon barrels.
Countless beams of light shot into the sky!
Rumble!
-
The seven giant mountain peaks near the Heavenly Mystery Gate trembled, shaking off a lot of soil, rocks, and tiles—which transformed into seven towering giant puppets, each of which unleashed terrifying magical power comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect's sect-protecting formation is a fourth-order puppet formation, with these seven super-large puppets as its core array eyes. Its power is enough to suppress ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!
They even forged the weak points of the array onto the super-large puppet to prevent the possibility of it being instantly breached by the enemy.
It can be said that among the four gates, it is second only to the Beast Taming Gate.
"Prepare for impact—"
"Oh no, Blood Fiend Island is about to crash into us!"
Within the Heavenly Mystery Sect, countless low-level cultivators scurried about like headless flies.
suddenly!
A hideous ghost head emerged from the surface of Blood Fiend Island. Golden runes fell, giving the ghost head a metallic sheen, and the single horn on its forehead grew thicker and longer—
"Hmph, the Green Ghost of Blood Fiend Island's Formation-Breaking Wedge!"
With a flash of light, the figure of the Celestial Mystery Elder appeared, gazing at the colossal Blood Fiend Island: "These demonic cultivators have been using this thing to plunder for thousands of years. The blood fiend energy of Blood Fiend Island can corrupt the great formation, and if the 'Azure Ghost Formation-Breaking Wedge' is driven into the formation, even a high-grade fourth-order formation will stagnate—Celestial Fiend Old Monster, it seems you killed the Talisman Sword Island Master, and this time you're even prepared to take my life."
His voice carried the magical power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and it spread far and wide.
"Indeed—My Blood Fiend Island has yet to conquer one of the nine major powers. I humbly request your assistance—"
On Blood Fiend Island, a stream of light descended, transforming into the young figure of the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster.
He stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.
Rumble!
Just as the old monster Tian Sha was speaking, Blood Fiend Island, with unparalleled momentum, crashed into the fourth-order puppet formation.
The seven colossal puppets raised their hands, like towering trees supporting Blood Fiend Island. Countless rays of spiritual light intertwined, and rust marks immediately appeared on the giant puppet hands.
Stab it!
The blue ghost horn, resembling the ramming horn of a ship, slammed into the fourth-order puppet array, causing the array's operation to suddenly stagnate.
"Haha, the great formation has stopped—"
"kill!"
On Blood Fiend Island, one after another, Tribulation Cultivators and Demon Cultivators rode on black energy and demonic light—laughing wildly as they landed inside the Heavenly Mystery Sect, just like a swarm of locusts.
Although Blood Fiend Island suffered a great loss at Water Moon Palace before, the cultivation world is full of Tribulation Cultivators and Demon Cultivators!
Not to mention, the cultivation world in the East China Sea is now in complete chaos.
Therefore, the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster only slightly lowered his standards, and many cultivators joined Blood Fiend Island, becoming the main force in this raid.
Whizzing!
Just as these demonic cultivators were wreaking havoc on the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the Heavenly Mystery Elder had already transformed into a streak of light, entangled with the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster, and left the battlefield.
Stab it!
With a flash of light, another human figure appeared beside the Heavenly Mystery Elder. Its face was almost identical to the Heavenly Mystery Elder's, but it was expressionless and exuded a terrifying power fluctuation comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. It was none other than the Heavenly Mystery Sect's treasure—a fourth-tier high-grade puppet!
The Heavenly Mystery Elder and the puppet joined forces, and in a short time it was almost like two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators attacking each other. They were not afraid even when facing a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator.
At this moment, the fourth-tier superior puppet unfurled a giant earthen-yellow umbrella, from which countless streams of dim yellow energy flowed down, protecting the Heavenly Mystery Elder.
The old man of the heavenly secrets now possessed several more glittering treasures, including a white hair needle, a thunderfire pearl, and a landscape painting.
He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. The three treasures were immediately activated, unleashing unfathomable magical power.
The white needle dimmed and instantly disappeared into the void.
Inside the Thunderfire Pearl, a spiritual fire seemed to burn, and it was surrounded by a ring of strange runes.
As for the landscape painting, it expanded instantly, and the ink paintings inside seemed to come alive, clearly making it a rare and precious treasure!
"Heavenly Fiend—do you truly intend to break the Pact of the River Styx and attack us?"
The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets glared at the Old Monster of Heavenly Fiend and shouted sternly.
"A fourth-tier puppet? All show and no substance—"
The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster still looked like a young man, a hint of bloodlust in his eyes: "The so-called Styx Pact, in reality, is completely ineffective once the so-called Styx Ghost God is destroyed—as for you all? The failure of the Water Moon Palace and Thunder Sound Temple to achieve Nascent Soul status has truly disappointed me, meaning that these two holy lands no longer have any Nascent Soul pills or treasures to pass down—only your Nascent Souls and essence blood—can help me achieve Nascent Soul status."
Dark purple demonic lightning rippled around him as he gazed at the enveloping landscape and made a hand seal.
Stab it!
A bolt of purplish-black lightning flashed, transforming into an electric dragon, baring its fangs and claws, its scales sharp and radiating a mysterious light.
puff!
The purple-black thunder dragon unleashed its two claws, tearing apart the mountains, rivers, and the heavens.
The old man of the Heavenly Secrets stared at the landscape painting that had spontaneously combusted without wind, his expression extremely grim.
This is not only because of the lost treasure, but also because the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster has become even stronger!
If he had previously thought the legends among Nascent Soul cultivators were just rumors, he now inexplicably felt that the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster already possessed some of the demeanor of a legendary Nascent Soul cultivator!
That's the level that can easily annihilate someone in the late Nascent Soul stage, or even rival someone in the Divine Transformation stage!
Click!
The Thunder Dragon arrived in front of the Heavenly Mystery Elder and ripped down with its sharp claws.
hum!
The fourth-tier superior-grade puppet held up that giant earthen-yellow umbrella, and streams of bright yellow energy appeared, like a canopy, blocking the thunder dragon's attack.
"go!"
The Heavenly Mystery Elder formed hand seals, and the Thunderfire Pearl in his hands seemed to traverse the void, suddenly appearing in front of the dragon.
Boom!
The Thunderfire Pearl exploded with a roar, transforming into a ring of multicolored flames.
Beneath the flames, the thunder dragon was cracking and disappearing inch by inch—
Upon seeing this, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets showed a hint of joy on his face and then made another hand seal.
A sliver of white light appeared behind the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster's head, blowing towards his Jade Pillow Acupoint like a gentle breeze.
