C764 final view
Daofather Ziyuan bent over with a smile, while Yang Junshan felt a shiver in his heart.
Even though he was infuriated, he still used all of his strength in that attack. However, even under the situation where the Daoist Priest had no time to take care of him, Yang Junshan had only managed to smash half of his shoulder, showing the might of a Daoist cultivator!
"Brat, you're quite brave to actually dare to attack the Taoist Patriarch!"
Daofather Violetflower's faint voice rang out, but then, as though unable to hold back his laughter, she said, "I can't believe I allowed you to succeed!"
And then, he said solemnly, "This time, you offended a Daofather to death. Kid, don't blame me for not reminding you. In the future, you'll have to be careful!"
Yang Junshan objected, "Am I not allowed to retaliate if I let him kill me?"
Daofather Ziyuan said coldly, "From the point of view of a cultivator in the Daoist Realm, you really should have been executed!"
Yang Junshan's face was full of dissatisfaction.
"Don't look so unconvinced. When the day comes that you stand at our level, you will understand what I, the Daofather, have said today, so if you want to avoid danger, you must quickly increase your cultivation. Although I owe you a favor, I will be able to protect you for a period of time, but I will not be able to protect you for a lifetime."
Yang Junshan was upset by Daoist Ziyuan's words, but he heard him ask, "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. He clearly pointed the hairpin at your heart. Why are you unharmed?" At that time, even I, this Daofather, would have believed you to be dead for sure.
After Yang Junshan came back from death's door, the first thing he felt was not the power of the map, but the ability to guard this secret.
Yang Junshan pointed to the back and said: "I have a substitute technique attached to my body, called 'Substitute Feather'. It can be used to save a life at a critical moment, but this secret technique alone is naturally unable to resist the might of the Taoist Ancestor. Fortunately, Senior managed to destroy more than half of the power of that Taoist Luojin's sacred art earlier, and my disciple's Shocking Stone Fist had weakened it a bit more, which allowed me to escape with my life intact."
He smiled and said: "This fellow does have quite a few strange abilities, even possessing a rare secret technique of this level of cultivation. I have to admit that your luck is quite good, perhaps this Daofather will be able to reap some benefits from it in the end, and I will also need to borrow your luck to reap some benefits. However, according to what I know, even if this life-changing secret technique succeeds, it will still deal some damage to the cultivators themselves."
As expected, none of these Daoists were easy to deal with. They didn't let go of even the slightest of flaws!
Yang Junshan laughed: "This is all thanks to senior for handing to me earlier, I was almost killed by someone for no reason, I was too angry, but unfortunately, after activating the substitute feather secret technique, it took the cultivator's own blood and essence, so I had no choice but to eat one first, almost instantly recovering all of my lost Yuan Qi, then I could finally sneak attack that Daoist Luo Huan's seal!"
As a matter of fact, Yang Junshan's heart had been punctured by a finger of the Daoist man Luo, and a big hole had been opened in the center of his heart. Yang Junshan's heart was different from an ordinary person's, if it was anyone else, their heart would have been smashed into pieces long ago.
However, no matter if his heart was pierced or shattered, it was a fatal injury. However, Yang Junshan had obtained a certain heart recovery ability after cultivating the Heart's Map of Mind, and in that instant, the nine man origin energy in his dantian was quickly transferred to his heart, continuously repairing it. In order to replenish a large amount of energy in his body, Yang Junshan had no choice but to swallow a Scarlet Fruit into his stomach.
"Let's go. The array barrier at the intersection here has been broken quite a bit by Luo Feng. It'll save you a lot of energy!"
Yang Junshan nodded and began to break the array barrier. As for Dao Ancestor Ziyuan, he did not take the opportunity to open up the surrounding space to search for treasures, but took out a longan sized pill from his storage magic treasure and swallowed it into his stomach to cultivate. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that filled the secret path was attracted and poured into her body.
Yang Junshan quickly broke through the fifth barrier and walked towards the last intersection. This time, even he was excited. Being able to see the legendary treasures was enough to make people excited.
However, at this moment, Dao Ancestor Ziyuan who was walking in front suddenly stopped without any warning. If it wasn't for Yang Junshan's extremely strong control over his body, he would have crashed into her from behind.
"Senior." Yang Junshan asked in confusion.
Daofather Ziyuan let out a sigh. "We're in trouble!"
Instantly, he saw that at the very last intersection far away, a middle-aged cultivator with three long strands of beard and an ancient face was also looking at them. When Yang Junshan looked over, that middle-aged cultivator immediately realized that Yang Junshan had just received a glance from the middle-aged cultivator. Yang Junshan felt as if his eyes were pierced by two sword lights, and even tears were flowing down his cheeks.
"That's Taoist Dongliu from the Flying Sword Sect of the Hu Prefecture. Her sword arts and techniques have reached the acme of perfection. The sword intent in her sword can be said to be omnipresent." Dao Ancestor Ziyuan stopped in her tracks and instead introduced the Daoist from afar to Yang Junshan.
Yang Junshan asked carefully, "Then how is senior compared to him?"
With a rare, bitter laugh, he said, "This Daofather isn't a match for him!"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "This person's cultivation is just like me, a Huagai Realm cultivator. However, the Flying Sword Sect has an orderly inheritance and is a top sect in the Hu Prefecture. It is said that Daoist Dongliu has mastered a second set of Dao level sword arts and possesses the Flying Sword Sect's thousand years old middle grade Dao Artifact, the Broken Water Sword. If I were to fight with this person, I'm afraid that I won't even dare to easily win!"
Yang Junshan's heart skipped a beat and said worriedly, "Then what should we do?"
"Wait. He has already discovered us, but he didn't go forth to force us. We can only wait for him to leave and break the formation again."
Yang Junshan said in a low voice, "I hope this isn't his last intersection."0
Violetflower gave him a glance, not saying anything. She just took a few steps back, towards the distant Daoist Eastflow, and expressed her unwillingness to fight with him.
Only then did Yang Junshan notice that there was a woman behind him who seemed to be deducing the solution to the formation as well. However, after a moment, that woman seemed to have said something to Daoist Dongliu, who suddenly turned around again, and Yang Junshan only caught a glimpse of a faint glimmer before the barrier was broken. The woman let out a cheer as she and Daoist Dongliu passed through the barrier.
"What a sharp sword art!"
The Purple Garden's Daofather praised, while Yang Junshan was at a loss. Even with the secret technique and sacred art in his body, he was unable to sense the prowess of the Taoist Eastflow at all.
"Let's go!"
Since Daoist Eastflow and the others had already appeared at the other secret path, Dao Ancestor Ziyuan was not as likely to come at the other secret path. Thus, she took advantage of the moment when Yang Junshan was breaking through the formation to break through the space barrier to search for other useful things.
"Eh? 500 years old Vampiric Vine? This is a top grade spirit material used to refine whip-like magical equipment!"
Two cracking sounds could be heard as two ten-meter long tendrils appeared in his hands. They were dark red in color, as though they had just been soaked in fresh blood.
"I'll give this to you. If I find a refiner that's almost there, I'll at least be able to produce a mid-grade spirit whip."
"Thank you, senior!"
Yang Junshan cupped his hands and put the 500 year old Vampiric Vine away, then casually played with it in the chessboard beside him. He turned around and smiled, "It seems that I will need the help of senior to break it this time!"
Dong! A muffled sound rang out and the barrier was broken by the two of them. At the end of the final dense path, an oval shaped spatial entrance appeared. A weak Spiritual Energy fluctuation came from the spatial entrance.
Daofather Ziyuan's expression was one of great joy. She said, "As long as there's still a spatial entrance, it means that the Seven Treasures Gourd hasn't been completely harvested. Let's quickly leave!"
Yang Junshan was overjoyed to hear this. He didn't think that he would be able to win the top seven from the forty-nine competitors.
Because he was too excited, he grabbed Yang Junshan and pulled him into the spatial entrance.
Yang Junshan felt countless strands of force pulling him backwards all of a sudden, as if the space itself was being torn apart. Yang Junshan's eyes lit up, he saw that three zhang away, on top of a purple black soil, there were five green gourds that were wrapped in different treasure lights.
There were only five gourds left!
They had two forerunners before them and had two gourds taken from them.
Although Yang Junshan had already expected this, and was happy enough to be the third competitor to enter the center of the ancient forest. However, when he realized that two gourds had already been harvested, he felt a little regretful.
Almost all of the Daoist cultivators knew of the importance of the Soul Division Gourd. Thus, almost every time a Seven Treasures Gourd appeared in the ancient forest, the Soul Division Gourd would be the most competitive of treasures. It was the number one choice for all the cultivators that entered this place.
"No matter what, I should take a look at the other five gourds first. After all, I didn't leave empty-handed!"
Daofather Ziyuan extended her divine sense to the five gourds that were ten meters away. However, she suddenly revealed an expression of incredulous joy. "That's impossible!"
