Chapter 501 - 501: Confirmation (2)
“How is this possible!!”
“It’s really an immortal formation!”
Sensing the power of the array formation, Great Elder Scorpion was extremely shocked. This was an immortal array. Just activating it required immortal spirit stones, and such high-energy crystals could only appear on Itinerant Immortals. How could it appear in a remote branch pavilion?
“Could it be that… there are important core members of the True Treasure Pavilion in this branch?”
Thinking of this, Great Elder Scorpion’s eyes abruptly lit up, and he increasingly felt that the possibility was extremely great. Because if the True Treasure Pavilion was so rich, then the defensive formation of Yanshan City’s branch pavilion ought to be an immortal formation.
“The person who can take out the immortal formation is definitely not an ordinary person. The background of the True Treasure Pavilion is probably beyond imagination!”
Although he felt that his guess was very correct, Great Elder Poison Scorpion did not feel excited at all. Instead, he felt that it was very troublesome. The human large sects in the Penglai Immortal City could not take out an immortal formation. This meant that their previous conclusion that the True Treasure Pavilion was backed by a Mahayana Realm expert was still too conservative. Perhaps there was a true immortal behind it!
At the thought of destroying the factions protected by human immortal-level experts, Great Elder Scorpion felt a chill run down his spine. Even if this was a joint operation by the various races, the immortal Dao experts of the various races behind them should not ignore it. However, in such a level of confrontation, the aftershock could easily destroy them.
As a Body Integration cultivator, participating in a battle at the immortal level was purely courting death!
“I have to report it to the Mahayana Realm senior as soon as possible!” Elder Scorpion looked at the immortal array that emitted an immortal aura and turned to escape without looking back.
Sword Seal City.
The 13-story stone tower built by the Devil Clan was also called the Cloud Tower. It was built under the supervision of the Black Tiger King and the Mahayana Realm experts of the various races are currently gathered inside the tip of the tower. They’d already received the news from Yanshan City.
“Immortal Array! How can the True Treasure Pavilion have an immortal formation?”
“Many Body Integration experts of the various races confirmed it several times in Yanshan City before reporting it. There won’t be any mistakes. Now, we’re not discussing why the True Treasure Pavilion has an immortal formation, but how to resolve it!”
“Resolve it? That’s an immortal formation. Even if Itinerant Immortal goes all out, he might not be able to destroy it. It would require the combined efforts of several Itinerant Immortals.”
“It’s not that exaggerated. It’s said that there aren’t even Divine Transformation cultivators in that branch pavilion. In other words, the array formation is only activated by immortal spirit stones. Its power can at most be 10 to 20%!”
“Hmph, 10 to 20% is not something we can deal with. Now, the Penglai Immortal City can’t spare any other power, and it’s even more impossible for Itinerant Immortals to take action. In my opinion, it’s better to suspend the plan to destroy the True Treasure Pavilion and wait for the outcome of the Penglai Immortal City to be completely decided.”
“Are you joking? The human factions in the surrounding cities have almost been cleaned up. We’ve long spread the news that we want to attack the True Treasure Pavilion and put it into action. If we stop as soon as we move, won’t we make a fool of ourselves?”
The Mahayana Realm cultivators were arguing. The main reason was that they had discussed this plan many times and had prepared for nearly sixty years. Now, they have encountered such a huge problem. If they stopped now, not to mention whether they would be laughed at by the humans, the seniors in the Penglai Immortal City would not agree.
“Alright, we can’t stop the plan. It’s impossible for every branch of the True Treasure Pavilion to have an immortal formation defense. Since there’s an immortal formation in the Yanling Market, let’s ignore it and continue to destroy the other branches. As for the immortal formation, I’ll personally return to the Penglai Immortal City and report this to the Itinerant Immortal.”
Yanling City Square.
The True Treasure Pavilion branch.
Many cultivators were uneasy in the backyard. Although Mu Jin repeatedly emphasized that the array formation could definitely withstand attacks at the Body Integration level, they were still afraid. No one could face death directly, especially when the Divine Transformation experts of the foreign races surrounded them. They felt extremely uneasy. Some even wanted to commit suicide. It was better than dying at the hands of the foreign races.
However, when they saw that the Divine Transformation cultivators of the foreign races could not break through the defense of the array formation, they heaved a sigh of relief.
For the next dozens of days, no foreign races came again. This made them nervous again. If it weren’t for the deterrence of Mu Jin, a Nascent Soul cultivator, someone would definitely suggest opening the array and leaving.
“Sister Yu Yan, are you saying that the foreign races have already broken through Yanshan City and the other markets and are heading to the next city?”
“Yes, it should be because the foreign races can’t break through the array formation our husband gave you for the time being, so they directly gave up. However, this matter is indeed a little strange. According to the news from Senior Luo Xia, the foreign races have a Mahayana Realm expert guarding them this time. The array formation our husband gave us can resist a Body Integration expert. Logically speaking, a Mahayana Realm expert should take action, but there’s no movement.”
“Sister Yu Yan, could it be that the array formation that my husband gave me can block attacks other than Body Integration?”
“That’s possible, but he hasn’t come out of seclusion yet, so I can’t ask. However, it’s too dangerous for you to stay in the Yanling Market!”
“I’m fine for the time being. Sister Yu Yan, don’t worry. I’ll find an opportunity to leave!”
“Alright, if you can’t hold on, you must send a message to me in time. Husband definitely doesn’t want anything to happen to you.”
“I understand!”
Gray Stone City.
After ending the communication, Yu Yan frowned. She looked at Wang Yun and Jing Huilan and said, “Mu Jin is safe for the time being. The foreign races have given up on attacking the Yanling Market. It should be because of the array formation given by my husband. I’m wondering if I should let Sister Honglian go to Wood Prison City.”
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. “It’s too dangerous. Even if Sister Honglian can protect Wood Prison City with the array, it’s useless. There are many cities and markets under the jurisdiction of our Treasure Pavilion. It’s a drop in the bucket for us. Besides, Mu Jin hasn’t really escaped danger.”
Jing Huilan sighed and said, “Sister Yu Yan, the only thing we can do now is to try our best to protect the main pavilion. This time, the foreign races are determined to destroy our True Treasure Pavilion. We have to think of a way to retreat. In the entire western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, only the Penglai Immortal City is the last safe place for the human race. No matter how remote the other areas are, they will eventually be found by the foreign races.”
Yu Yan fell silent. She knew that Jing Huilan was telling the truth. The outsiders had launched a large-scale attack this time. Relying on them and the True Treasure Pavilion to resist was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Even if her husband came out of seclusion, he would probably be helpless.
“In another half a month, if our husband still hasn’t come out of seclusion, even if I disturb him, I have to go to the quiet room.”
Wang Yun and Jing Huilan nodded. After half a month, Pei Huoyu, Qiu Ying, and Bai Yuying returned one after another.
Penglai Immortal City.
In the highest palace of the dozens of spirit peaks where the Spirit Race was located.
Hearing the report of the Mahayana Realm experts from Sword Seal City, the Itinerant Immortal in charge of this matter could not help but exclaim softly, “Immortal Array? Can you confirm it?”
The Mahayana Realm expert said respectfully, “I went to take a look. It’s indeed an immortal formation.”
“I see. Looks like the higher-ups are looking for this True Treasure Pavilion.” The Spirit Clan’s Itinerant Immortal smiled. “Continue with the plan. There’s no need to pay attention to the immortal array.”
“Yes!”
After the Mahayana Realm cultivators left the hall, the Itinerant Immortal of the Spirit Clan immediately reported to the immortal-level seniors of his clan who were fighting with the Immortal Dao experts in the starry sea at the edge of the Western District through a special communication stone.
“In the western region of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, or even in the entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness, only the four Itinerant Immortals have an immortal formation. Therefore, it must be the human genius that the immortal wants us to find!”
“Haha, very good. We’ve finally confirmed the exact hiding place of this Beast Spirit genius of the human race. He must have obtained an immortal formation from trading with the Winged Race’s Beast Spirit genius in the Strange Beast Gate. Don’t alert the enemy!”
“Yes, Exalted Celestial.”
“You did well in this matter. When we find that human Beast Spirit genius, I’ll get the clan to guide you to the Immortal Dao territory!”
Excitement appeared on the face of the Spirit Clan’s Itinerant Immortal. Becoming an Immortal was the dream of every Itinerant Immortal. However, it was very difficult for Itinerant Immortals to become True Immortals. The more tribulations they experienced, the more difficult it was. However, if an Exalted Celestial guided them, things would be much easier.
“Thank you, Exalted Celestial, for your favor!”
