C709 commissural process
It was disappointing that he had returned empty-handed from the cultivation abode of the Heaven Shaking Sect's cultivator, but this did not affect Yang Junshan too much. His entire mind was on saving people, and he wanted to find Yan Qingxi as soon as possible.
However, the third restriction barrier was clearly more difficult to break than the second barrier. The other three array masters had speculations that it would take at least one to two hours before they could open it.
All of them were bored out of their minds because they had nothing to gain, but suddenly they heard Yang Junshan laugh out loud, "Don't take it too far. It would indeed take a long time to break it down according to the normal array, but you forgot that this barrier is very strong, and because you gathered more power, it has very little connection with the surrounding restrictions."
Ye Wushang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
Lu Jing also said, "Doesn't that mean we can forcefully break through?"
Mo Ziqi sighed, "The most efficient way to break through an array is usually through brute force!"
This time, it was Adept Qi Yang who attacked, and in terms of the destructive power of the sacred art, the first move was the fire attribute sacred art. Adept Qi Yang had shot six fireballs at the exact same spot on the barrier screen in a beaded manner, and had also controlled the power of the fire attribute explosions to the most appropriate degree, causing the barrier to break apart at the same time, but not to cause too much damage to anyone else or the buildings within the barrier's space.
"Heh, the Spiritual Energy here seems to have become denser!"
Daoist Master Qingfeng felt the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around him and said, "There are spiritual veins here!"
The Heaven-Shaking Peak naturally had a main spirit vein, but when it was revealed to the surface, it had several different uses. However, after the Heaven-Shaking Peak collapsed, the spirit rivers and spirit veins scattered in all directions, and some were even forced to divide again. At this moment, the forbidden space where Yang Junshan and the other cultivators had entered clearly had scattered spirit veins.
Yang Junshan smiled and asked, "Brother Qingfeng has done some research on the Spirit Seeking Technique?"
Daoist Master Qingfeng shook his head and bitterly smiled. "I was originally a rogue cultivator. Naturally, I have to think of every method and method that I can come into contact with. However, I can't distract myself from everything. This Spirit Searching Technique has the highest achievement. I'm barely level 4!"
Yang Junshan said, "Since that's the case, let's invite brother Qingfeng to come to the branch!"
Daoist Master Qingfeng was slightly stunned as he looked at his surroundings. The others didn't have any objections and said helplessly, "Alright, but you need to help me with setting up the formation."
Yang Junshan nodded with a smile, "Of course. However, now that the array is deep underground, even if we have completed the traction array and buried the Space Abyssal Rock inside, we will have to wait until the entire array collapses before we can activate it."
Taking advantage of Daoist Master Qing Feng's division, Yang Junshan went to the next barrier. Yang Junhao and the others searched for something in the barrier space unwillingly. They didn't believe that other than a few spiritual veins, there was nothing else in this region.
However, this search, which was equivalent to digging, had yielded some results.
"This should be a mountain that fell apart after the collapse, but the inside of the mountain is now exposed." Taste this, Adept Vajra guessed.
Adept Qiyang said helplessly, "In other words, if you want to reap the rewards, you have to dig this mountain up into the air so that you can get out of the Heaven Shaking Sect's territory?"
Sage Lin Canghai dejectedly said, "Let alone digging through this broken mountain, even if we could, with such a large mountain collapsing, just how much of the mountain's surface would be left?"
Yang Junhao tried to ask, "How about we dig up everything?"
Lin Canghai glanced at Yang Junshan and said, "Do you think we should dig faster or is your brother breaking the next barrier faster?"
"About this …"
Sage Lin Canghai said, "Okay, okay, right now we will follow Daoist Master Jun Shan and quickly break through the forbidden space barrier to save him. Not only that, Brother Qingfeng has already divided the spirit veins, we should also set up the traction array first!"
Daoist Master Vajra and Daoist Master Qiyang glanced at each other. It was as if they understood each other's thoughts. Then, they each took out two Space Abyssal Rocks and handed them to Lu Jing and Ye Wushang to set up a traction array.
When he was breaking the fourth layer of the barrier, Yang Junshan cast the "Steal Array" spell again. He went through the barrier first, and then turned around and came back. He didn't look too good either.
"Why?" Mo Ziqi asked in confusion.
Yang Junshan looked at them with a strange expression and said, "You will know when you see it for yourselves."
The fourth barrier quickly opened, and the scene in front of them caused the faces of the few Adepts to turn ugly.
Corpses were strewn all over the area. Nearly a hundred corpses were scattered all over the twenty to thirty acres of land. Most of them had already rotted to the point where only bones were left.
Both Adept Sage and Adept Sevensun were silent.1
Daoist Master Qiyang looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "These must have been the cultivators who were killed when the Heaven Shaking Sect was destroyed, right?"
Yang Junhao noticed the heavy atmosphere, and couldn't help but ask, "It seems like these cultivators are desperately resisting?"
Back then, the Flowing Fire Valley and Tan Xi Sect had participated in the destruction of the Heaven-Shaking Peak. Now that they were faced with this situation, their words naturally had to take into consideration these two's face.
The three Martial Disciples did not say anything and only listened to the instructions of the few cultivators. Furthermore, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Yang family of the West Mountain had nothing to do with the scene in front of them. Thus, Yang Junshan continued with Yang Junhao's words, "There are traces of a Dao-Soldier Formation here.
Hearing that, Yang Junhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Brother, could it be that they are protecting something? Could it be that the Heaven Shaking Sect has some sort of treasure trove?"
Yang Junshan glanced at him and smiled, "Even if there is a secret treasure trove, how many treasures do you think there will be left in this treasure trove?"
Yang Junhao couldn't help but feel disappointed. The slaughter that was happening before his eyes clearly showed that the cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Sect weren't able to stop the cultivators of the various sects from joining hands to kill them, and it was likely that the Heaven Shaking Sect's secret treasury had long since been plundered clean.
Yang Junshan's voice came from the other side of the barrier, "Put the storage pouches and other things around these corpses. Burn them and bury them in the ground!"
The three Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns weren't willing to make a move, so Yang Junhao and Daoist Master Qingfeng could only lead the three formation masters to collect the corpses on the ground. Afterwards, Yang Junhao set fire to a pile of ashes.
There were only ten or so complete storage pouches left, and the majority of them were broken and destroyed following the fall of the cultivators. Jade coins, spirit materials, herbs, pill bottles, talismans, magic treasure fragments, and more were scattered all over the ground.
These items were mostly of low grade and the few Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns did not like them and did not bother to hide the items of the dead. Even Daoist Master Qingfeng did not join the final count, and in the end, it was Yang Junhao and the four Martial Disciples who divided the scattered items.
"I'm afraid that I will have to borrow the strength of Brother Qingfeng or Senior Lin to break this barrier."
At this time, Yang Junshan's voice came from afar.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Sage Lin Canghai was startled upon hearing this.
Yang Junshan explained simply, "This barrier looks tough, but it is actually inaccurate. The gap in the array is very small, and only with the help of wind and water can we make full use of these gaps and quickly break through to the next restriction space."
Sage Lin Canghai nodded and said, "This old man will give it a try!"
Under Yang Junshan's guidance, Sage Lin Canghai placed a palm on the barrier, and suddenly, a sound like the rising and falling of a tide could be heard. Then, as the rising and falling of the tide crashed into the barrier, the tiny gaps and gaps were slowly penetrated by the watery true essence. With Sage Lin's shout, the barrier was instantly filled with cracks.
"This place is …"
Yang Junhao couldn't help but exclaim as he saw the scene in front of him.
While Yang Junshan and co. were breaking through the fifth layer of the seal, at an unknown location on the Heaven-Shaking Peak, Zhang Yue Ming and Spiritual Master Zhu were resting in a forbidden space for the time being.
After a long time, she said in a low voice, "This place should be a part of the Cloud Viewing Cliff at the back of Heaven Shaking Peak. After the main peak collapsed, it somehow fell to the ground in front of the mountain. No wonder I kept having the feeling that something isn't quite right."
"The main peak has collapsed, the mountain is scattered everywhere, all the remnants that can be used to determine the location have scattered, we can only look in the general direction. That place is similar to the Heaven Punisher Chamber, and is all specially prepared as backup, I presume that it is not affected too much by the collapse of the main peak."
Spiritual Master Zhu paused for a moment, then asked, "How is the refining of the trump card coming along?"
Zhang Yue Ming said in a low voice, "Martial Uncle, please do not worry. I am able to control it with ease."
Hearing this, Spiritual Master Zhu was slightly gratified and said, "That's good. With the collapse of the main peak, the secret realm must have already been sealed. Only by using the body of the trump card can we forcefully open a path for the two of us to enter."
At the other side of the Heaven Shaking Peak's forbidden formation, the Zhuge brothers' current progress had even surpassed Yang Junshan and the others. Together with the help of the two formation masters and the assistance of the Profound Handle Grandmaster An Taiqing, they had broken through six layers of barrier consecutively.
