C424 Arcane Art

3After learning the lesson of how the fourth light screen had triggered the backlash of the forbidden array, everyone began to obediently assist the three array masters in using the stupidest and safest method to wear down the forbidden light screen.

However, because the fifth light screen was a lot stronger than the fourth one, because of the dense spiritual energy Yang Junshan displayed while resisting the Light Blade Storm, everyone was able to eliminate the possibility of failure due to the lack of spiritual energy, and also reduced the time needed to break the restriction by two days.

Even so, Ning Qing and Lu Jing were exhausted.

When they entered the fifth layer of the barrier, Yan Qingxi let out a cry of joy. Everyone followed her gaze and saw that after being crushed, only the outline of the cave was left.

These two caves were obviously cultivation grounds created by the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect. If the owners of these two caves hadn't fled from the Heaven Shaking Peak back then, perhaps they would have been able to discover something from them.

Ning Bin laughed, "Seems like our luck is pretty good. At least on the way here, we didn't return empty-handed after breaking the barrier. It's said that many people have spent a lot of effort to break through the barrier, but in the end, they found nothing."

"We should still dig out these two caves first!"

Yang Junshan took a light step forward, and everyone felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly. Then the huge rocks and dirt covering the collapsed cave seemed to be stirred up by someone, and began to split apart on both sides. The buried items rose up from the ground one by one, and were then sent to everyone in a neat fashion by the flowing mud and rocks.

Although Yang Junshan had used his unexpected performance to improve the audience's estimate of his ability time and time again, every time Yang Junshan made his move, the crowd couldn't help but notice that their estimate of Yang Junshan's strength was still too low.

Yan Zhong, Ning Bin, Ning He, and the others could use the sacred art to flip the mudstones on the ground and pick up the useful items within. However, just like Yang Junshan's way of doing things, it was naturally smooth.

However, everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the item that was taken out from the cave. This was because Yang Junshan had finally found a magical equipment in the cave.

"Low rank?" Yan Qingxi's face was filled with disappointment and lack of interest.

Just as Yan Qingxi finished speaking, she heard Yang Junshan suddenly cry out. Everyone looked towards him in confusion, only to see him shaking his hand slightly in front of him. The sand in front of him split apart to the sides, revealing a rotten corpse.

"It's the inner disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect!"

As a Successor Disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect, Ning Bin had been cultivating on the Heaven Shaking Peak for a long time. Just by looking at the clothes on the corpse, one could deduce the identity of this person before his death.

Aside from having special talent in alchemy and smithing, the majority of inner disciples who were able to cultivate on the Heaven Shaking Peak had to be at least at the third level of the Martial Realm in order to qualify, or they could be accepted as personal disciples by the cultivators in the real world.

Yang Junshan pointed with his finger, and a storage bag flew out from the Heaven Shaking Sect disciple's waist, directly into his hand.

Yang Junshan shook the storage bag in his hand, and everything inside was thrown out, forming a huge pile on the ground.

Yan Qingxi looked at the pile of items on the ground and said, "There's nothing good about it. Furthermore, it's an inner disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect. Why is there nothing else?"

Ning Bin said helplessly, "Young miss Yan, not everyone has a grandpa on their head, even if he's a true disciple of Heaven Shaking Sect!"

Yan Qingxi pursed her lips, but did not continue arguing with Ning Bin.

The storage bag on this cultivator was more like a bag of trash. It really did contain a lot of things, but there were only a few that could enter the eyes of Yang Junshan and the group of late stage martial artists.

Ning Qing said, "It seems like this inner disciple's cultivation is not at the late stage of Martial Disciple!"

Yan Qingxi glanced at Yang Junshan and Yang Junshan. She said to Yang Junshan, "You should keep this first. We don't need it anyway."

Ning Bin did not object. The Ning Family did not regard these materials as important, but for the newly promoted to a strong and powerful family like the Yang Family, they did not allow any cultivation resources to be wasted.

"How can I be embarrassed? Just follow the rules that we agreed on previously. We'll split everything in this area after we find them!"

Yan Qingxi did have good intentions, but Yang Junshan could not do so because he had found a buried corpse in the mud. He did not want to miss out on the chance to obtain a real treasure just because he was greedy.

As the ruins of the two Immortal's caves were slowly cleared away, another corpse was dug out from the mud rocks. The Heaven Shaking Sect was similarly dressed in the same robe as the inner disciples of the inner sect. This made everyone feel slightly disappointed.

"Eh, could it be Dong Qi?" Ning Bin stared at the rotted corpse in front of him, puzzled.

"What? You know him?"

"This guy has six fingers on his left hand. I know that there's an inner disciple named Dong Qi who also has six fingers on the Heaven-Shaking Peak. His cultivation is at the Great Perfection Stage, and although I've never been to his cave, I've heard that he and his son are disciples of the same sect. Furthermore, they live side by side, so from the looks of it, these two cave dwellings belong to the father and son duo."3

"Both father and son are inner disciples. It looks like either Dong Qi's son is talented, or Dong Qi has some connections with Heaven Shaking Mountain." Yang Junshan made a guess.

Ning Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yang is right. If this Dong Qi's son is really that gifted, Daoist Master Qing Mu would have brought him away. In fact, Dong Qi is from the same clan as Daoist Master Dong of Siyu County."

Yan Qingxi said, "Since this fellow has a deep relationship with a cultivator, I believe he has some good things on him. Quickly go and take a look!"

He turned the corpse over and with a "clank," two broken pieces of magic tools fell off his body. From the looks of it, this person must have been doing all he could to resist before he died.

"High-grade magic tool, what a pity!"

Yan Qingxi said it was a pity, but her hand was not slow at all. With a pull from the corpse's waist, a storage bag was already in her hand.

"Hualalala ~ ~ ~"

The items in the storage bag were all thrown to the ground by Yan Qingxi, then everyone's eyes lit up. Amongst this large pile of items was a mid-grade magic tool, several of which were used to store medicinal pills, while the Spirit Sealing Talisman sealed the bottle's opening. From one of the scattered Spirit Sealing Boxes, over twenty jade crystals rolled out, and other than seven or eight high-grade spirit materials, there were actually three low-grade spirit materials.

In addition, a 30 centimeter long talisman was engraved with dense spiritual light patterns. The large amount of spiritual energy fluctuations that came from it caused all the cultivators present to feel a sense of fear. Everyone's hearts flashed with the name of a talisman: Treasure Talisman!

However, among all these things, the thing that attracted the most attention wasn't the magic tool, pill, crystal, or spiritual material, nor the treasure talisman that could possibly seal a precious technique or ability. Instead, it was a jade tablet that fell among all the items.

For Inheritance Slate, those that could use it would usually have at least the level of their spiritual arts and abilities. According to the agreement between the three parties to join hands and explore the Heaven Shaking Peak, as long as they could find any inheritances, they would have to make a copy.

Yang Junshan held the inheritance jade tablet in his hand and indicated to both parties. Yan Qingxi and Ning Bin both gestured to Yang Junshan to check out the contents first, which was actually a form of respect towards Yang Junshan. After all, from the moment they entered the Heaven Shaking Peak's Ruins, no one could deny that Yang Junshan held the primary role.

Yang Junshan naturally wouldn't be polite. He put the spirit stones into the jade plate, and after a while, with a trace of shock on his face, he slowly withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the jade plate.

After passing the inheritance jade plate to Yan Qingxi, the lady even asked, "How is it? What's the inheritance inside?"

Yang Junshan praised, "Impressive." Then he said, "What is recorded on the jade board is neither the sacred art nor the martial art, but a secret art that can be broken through to the Zhenren realm!"

As for Yang Junshan, he glanced at Yan Zhong before continuing, "This secret technique is extremely strange and effective. After cultivating for a long time, it will allow those who have reached the great perfection stage to have a thirty percent chance of breaking through to the Spiritual Master Stage."

"However, practicing this secret art is also very demanding. First of all, you can only use this secret art once, if you cannot succeed, the cultivator's vitality will be greatly damaged. If you are unlucky, you might even be able to shatter his dantian and become a mortal." Yang Junshan continued: "But first of all, you can only use this secret art once, and if you cannot succeed, then the cultivator will lose all of his vitality."

"Second, this secret technique greatly drains a cultivator's potential. Even if they were lucky enough to break through to the Dao Realm, there is no way for them to continue to rise. They will only be able to stay in the Astral Transformation stage for the rest of their lives."

"And third, to use this secret art requires the support of a large number of cultivation resources, as well as a few extremely rare and special pills. This inner disciple Dong Qi is obviously already preparing for this." Yang Junshan pointed at the cultivation resources on the ground and said.
