769: C769 Qing Ling

C769 Qing Ling

Dao Ancestor Ziyuan had once told him that once the seven treasure gourds in the middle of the secret path were harvested, the entire ancient secret path would disappear, and the beginning of their disappearance was that the space around the secret realm would begin to distort until it collapsed. At that time, all of the cultivators that had not left the secret realm would be expelled, and the ancient dense forest would also quickly disappear.

The moment the ancient forest disappeared, the experts who had been lying in ambush at seven different positions in the forest would start a great battle in the sky above the forest. The moment the ancient forest disappeared, the experts who had been lying in ambush at seven different positions in the forest would also start a great battle in the sky above the forest.

After the last intersection, the secret path became more and more illusory, and Yang Junshan could even see the broken path from a distance. He even saw the disappearance of many heavenly materials and earthly treasures outside the secret path, and they disappeared in a strange spatial fluctuation. This was the sign that the whole ancient forest was moving in space, and at that time, the only thing left was the original forest.

Yang Junshan suddenly stopped in his tracks. The path in front of him had already reached the end, and just as Yang Junshan was about to take a step forward, he saw a cultivator casually walking by the side of the secret path, and that cultivator apparently didn't notice Yang Junshan who was not far away.

Yang Junshan was happy at first, but then he felt a little apprehensive. He was happy that the cultivators ambushing outside the secret path had already left, otherwise, no one would easily reveal their own figures, and apprehensive that the secret path could disappear at any time. If he had a bad grasp on it, he would probably be driven to the sky of the forest where the Ancient Secret Forest used to be.

Seeing that the distortion in the air was getting worse, Yang Junshan kept his eyes on the cultivator and rushed out from the secret path the moment the light shot up into the sky.

This was a land where heavenly materials grew. However, because the dense forest began to shrink, the space here changed, returning to the original ordinary forest.

Yang Junshan's spiritual sense caught the change behind him. When he turned around to look, there was no longer any hidden secret. The ancient secret also disappeared the moment Yang Junshan left.

Yang Junshan didn't dare to be careless at all. He spread out his spiritual consciousness in an instant, and then his face changed drastically as he plunged his head into the ground.

Several different colored lights rushed towards him from different directions. They exploded where he was standing before, and Yang Junshan was able to escape into the distance.

"Not good, this person knows the Earth Spirit Disappearing Technique. Stop him!"

"Too late, he already escaped!"

Three light beams came from different directions in the forest. They surrounded where Yang Junshan was originally standing, but they were easily dispelled by Yang Junshan's Earth Escape Technique.

Two of them had actually reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm while the other one was also at the peak of the Xuan Core Realm, which meant that he was quite powerful. Under such circumstances, Yang Junshan could only choose to escape at the first possible moment.

"Unfortunately, at first, I thought that my luck was good. However, I never thought that this fellow would be so alert. He actually managed to dodge in the nick of time!"

"This person was able to do what the rest of us did, grab the hidden path and get out of the way. He just happened to avoid the Daoist ancestors, so he must be an expert in formations as well."

"Forget it, we're just here to try our luck. Let's just treat it as our bad luck when that person runs away!"

"Escaping technique. Heh, it's actually the Escaping technique. I heard that there's a spiritual technique called 'finger turning into steel' that can restrain the Escaping technique?"

"Although the Earth Escape Technique is known as the number one life-saving technique, not everyone can keep their lives. It's just that very few people have successfully learned it in the cultivation world. No one would have thought that we would meet it."

"Alright, we shouldn't stay here for too long. This time, we brothers have made quite a bit of progress in the ancient forest. It's best if we stop and leave this place as soon as possible!"

"Alright, I'll listen to boss, but where should we go next?"

Let's go to the Jade Region and have a look, the three of us have been wandering in this cultivation world for almost a hundred years, but we have never been able to settle down. Now that we have successfully cultivated, we naturally have to build our own industry, and I heard that after all these years, the cultivation world of the Jade Region has been under siege by the Heaven Shaking Sect.

"Boss is right, but we have a grudge with the Spirit Apostle Sect. The Jade Prefecture isn't far from Sang Prefecture, and I'm afraid the Spirit Apostle Sect won't be able to tolerate the three of us."

"It's better than going into exile. I feel that boss's suggestion isn't bad."

"Don't worry, let's go take a look first. The Spirit Apostle Sect has been under a lot of pressure recently, they might not have the spare time to pay attention to the three of us."

In order to ensure his safety as much as possible, Yang Junshan borrowed the power of the stone to travel dozens of miles underground. Finally, he carefully drilled out of the ground.

It was still a dense forest, but after Yang Junshan spread out his spiritual sense, he was relieved. It was very quiet here, there were no other cultivators around.

Even so, Yang Junshan still didn't dare to be careless. Although he was already hundreds of miles away from the original location of the Ancient Secret Forest, he could still clearly feel the spatial fluctuations and the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from very far away. Occasionally, there would even be muffled thunder from far away.

However, according to the direction of all the noises, Yang Junshan's current position seemed to be off course. Yang Junshan had followed the Purple Garden's Dao Ancestor all the way south, and right now, his location was clearly in the southwest direction of the forest.

Forty-nine secret paths, and every intersection was a space transition. The place Yang Junshan came out from was no longer where he had entered the secret realm.

If Yang Junshan wanted to rush to the rendezvous place agreed upon by the Purple Garden's Daofather, he would have to make a detour around it. At the very least, he would have to avoid the great cultivators fighting in the vast forest above the Scholartree Manor.2

Yang Junshan thought for a while, so he found a secluded and hidden place and built a temporary cave. After setting up a concealment array around the cave, he decided to temporarily rest in the cave.

On the journey to the ancient forest, although Yang Junshan was eventually able to recover safely, it was not like he was completely unaffected. Just the matter of Lu Xuanping possessing Lu Xuan's body was enough to affect the source of his dantian and almost injure his spiritual sense, as for the matter of being stabbed to death by the Spirit Apostle, although his damaged heart was eventually repaired by the cultivation of the Heart Diagram and he ate a Scarlet Fruit to replenish his damaged source energy, it was still a hidden danger, and he needed to deal with the details later.

Of course, what was more important was that during this trip to the Ancient Secret Forest, his harvest was equally plentiful, especially the storage treasures he got from Daoist Lu Xuanping, it made Yang Junshan's heart itch even more.

A Treasured Tier Spirit Grass, the Six-Horned Flower, could be considered a rare treasure. It was said to be an essential ingredient in refining multiple pills and was extremely precious.

When the Ancient Secret Forest was opened, normally, other than the great magical powers who had access to the treasures in the center of the Ancient Secret Path, most of the cultivator cultivators would gather spiritual treasures that were rarely seen in the outside world. However, the Ancient Secret Forest would only open once every three hundred years, seven items at a time; however, the Ancient Secret Forest itself would only open once every thirty years, and every time, a large amount of spiritual herbs would appear, for cultivators to gather.

Zhu Guo was a superb auxiliary tool used by martial cultivators to break through the threshold of the Mortal Realm. Furthermore, the high-grade spirit treasure, the yellow-skinned gourd, was itself a natural magic treasure. More importantly, these kinds of magic treasures usually had an extremely high potential for improvement in quality.

After that, Yang Junshan had obtained the "Art of Securing Golden Soup". Not to mention that the "Giant Stone Art" cultivated by Lu Xuan Ping was also a mysterious high-grade treasure inheritance.

And although these two inheritances were precious, for Yang Junshan alone, they added up to nothing compared to the black soil that could be used to hide Lu Xuanping's Primordial Spirit. Yang Junshan had a feeling that this piece of soil was definitely a treasure more precious than the Earth Core Spiritual Stone, perhaps its value was not any less than the Seven Treasures Gourd in the ancient forest.

Of course, the last one was also Daoist Lu Xuanping's storage magic treasure.

This kind of cultivator came from a rogue cultivator background, rarely trusted others, and was usually the center of attention. Since these types of cultivators were always ready to run far away because of their sense of danger, the most precious treasures were usually carried around with them, and this situation only exacerbated the fact that it was not common for overseas cultivators to kill each other and betray each other. It was very simple, killing one person would be able to take all of this person's wealth back, and like this, very few people would be able to resist the temptation.

Even though the original owner of the treasure had already fallen, Yang Junshan still spent a lot of time and effort to open it. However, when he forcefully opened it, and even though a small portion of the treasure disappeared in the collapsed space, but seeing the rest of the treasure piled up in front of this newly constructed cave dwelling, Yang Junshan was first taken aback. Then, his eyes focused once again in disbelief as he stared at the peak of this pile of items.

What is this? A gourd? Azure?

How could the aura lingering on it be so familiar?

This was clearly the aura he had felt before at the center of the ancient secret path!

The Pure Spirit Gourd. This gourd was actually the Pure Spirit Gourd of the seventh treasure that was in the middle of the secret path since time immemorial!
