“Brother Yang, this time it’s all thanks to you rushing over in time, otherwise, this fixed sea anchor would have fallen into the hands of the Violet Firmament Pavilion.” The Taoist Jiangxin said gratefully.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Junshan heard this, he laughed and shook his head, and said: “Brother Jiang, I am afraid that what you said this time is not true, but I do not dare to give it my all!”
Taoist Jiangxin did not understand, but East Peak and East Peak looked at each other and laughed.
Yang Junshan glanced at the two Daoists and explained: “As top-notch cultivators, Daoist Miao Huang did not fully display his strength. Don’t forget, this is the storm gorge, Daoist Miao Huang does not want to be struck by lightning.”
Taoist Jiangxin was a little surprised, but he did not believe it. He could not help but look at the two grandmasters.
The Daoist from East Pavilion laughed: “What little friend Jun Shan said is the truth. Daoist Miao Huang’s true strength is no weaker than senior brother Dong Liu before he advanced. If we were to fight to the death, we are not his match.”
“So Taoist Miao Huang is actually this powerful!” The Taoist Jiangxin sighed.
The two Dao Patriarchs from Eastern Tower and Eastern Xu revealed a wry smile. Seeing that, Yang Junshan changed the topic and asked: “But I have to congratulate Brother Jiang, to actually obtain a daoyin apparatus to recognize its owner!”
Hearing that, Taoist Jiangxin laughed bitterly, he patted on the chain with the fixed sea anchor and said: “Speaking of which, Brother Yang, do you have any way to bring this fixed sea anchor up?”
Yang Junshan heard and asked curiously: “What, since the daoyin apparatus has already become its master, as long as it is refined, it would naturally let you control it. Why bother?”
When the Taoist Jiangxin heard this, he could only laugh bitterly, and said: “This is also the reason why I have repeatedly requested Brother Yang to come here. If I want to completely refine the fixed sea anchor, I must lift it from the stern of the boat, only then will I be able to completely separate it from the boat, otherwise, with this iron chain connecting me, I will never be able to refine it.”
After pausing for a moment, Taoist Jiangxin laughed bitterly: “But we can’t refine all of the boat!”
Yang Junshan asked curiously: “Oh, is there suching?”
Yang Junshan extended his hand and grabbed onto the iron chain that linked the fixed sea anchor and immediately understood that the fixed sea anchor seemed to be one with the boat, but in reality, it was as if it was trapped inside the boat. If he could lift the fixed sea anchor up from the bottom of the stern of the boat, it would be equivalent to letting it out of its confinement.
However, during Yang Junshan’s investigation, he had paid more attention to the usage of the daoyin apparatus, thus he asked strangely: “I’m Jiang, according to what I know, you should be a sword cultivator, and this fixed sea anchor does not seem to be a flying sword type treasure. Furthermore, Daoist Miao Huang seems to hold this daoyin apparatus in high regard.”
The Taoist Jiangxin glanced at Eastern Tower and Eastern Xu, and the people of Eastern Tower laughed as they explained, “To be honest, little friend Jun Shan, the biggest goal of our sect coming to Dinghai Zhou this time is this fixed sea anchor. As long as we can obtain it, we can use it to suppress the Thousand Lake Eye and weaken the annual flood of the Sea Eye Huzhou’s water system.”
After the Daoist from Eastern Tower finished speaking, Daoist East Xu continued, “Although the fixed sea anchor is a water attribute daoyin apparatus, it is actually more useful in terms of spatial imprisonment. Compared to the Huzhou’s Thousand Lake Eye, Laizhou’s Lightning Swamp has also become more active in recent years, affecting a large amount of Violet Firmament Pavilion’s energy. Daoist Miao Huang also needs the fixed sea anchor to suppress it, which also helps to reduce the degree of damage the Lightning Swamp has done to Laizhou.”
Hearing that, Yang Junshan nodded his head, his mind deep in thought, but he quickly turned his attention back to them, and said: “As long as you raise the fixed sea anchor, will you? The three of you are better than a single person like me? ”
Yang Junshan was extremely confident in his own strength. Aside from his defensive skills, the Earth Elemental Faction had an absolute confidence in their strength.
Cultivating only a strand of power was only one of the paths. Moreover, no matter how confident Yang Junshan was in his own power, he would never be able to win against the combined efforts of the three Dao Realm cultivators from Flying School.
The Taoist Jiangxin shook his head: “That way, although I can pull the fixed sea anchor up, it isn’t the correct way to remove the fixed sea anchor from the body of the boat. This huge anchor chain is still unable to be unshackled.”
As a Grandmaster of formations, Yang Junshan understood more about this strange method of release, so he nodded towards the three Flying School Daoists and said: “I, Yang, will try it.”
The three Daoists immediately pushed off each other, and then slowly occupied their respective positions, protecting Yang Junshan in the middle.
Previously, Yang Junshan was only investigating, and not forcefully lifting the fixed sea anchor upwards. Now that he was forcefully pulling the anchor chain, he realized that the situation was far more difficult than he had imagined.
Raising the fixed sea anchor not only required a cultivator’s own strength, but also the ability to break through the spatial imprisonment of the fixed sea anchor itself. Presumably, this was also the other reason why the Flying School had repeatedly requested for his help. While borrowing his strength, he also needed to borrow the strength of his array formation as well as the treasure ‘Yin Kong’ to break the spatial seal.
Yang Junshan held onto the anchor chain, and azure-golden light twined around the thick anchor chain as it went downwards. The moment it got close to the body of the boat, it was as if it collided with a colorless barrier, and the two sides started to wear each other down. A bizarre spatial ripple started to appear around the fixed sea anchor, causing the anchor chain that was holding the fixed sea anchor’s body to tremble along with the spatial ripple.
Yang Junshan’s expression did not change, but the output of the True Essence in his body suddenly doubled. The green and gold brilliance shone brightly, and even began to spread along the spatial barrier surrounding the fixed sea boat, gradually forming a gigantic green and gold hemisphere. The fixed sea anchor was right in the center of the hemisphere.
And on the other half of the sphere, every time Yang Junshan’s two-way magnetic and magical light continued to extend outwards, it would pull out an even more majestic spatial energy. This should be because the fixed sea anchor’s spatial sealing power had continued to penetrate deeper, likree’s roots digging into the ground, if one wanted to pull the fixed sea anchor, one could only tear this space hemisphere apart and not the entire space that was being confined.
Yang Junshan pulled on the anchor chain with one hand, and the other hand suddenly stretched out, forming a giant seal at the stern of the ship. Disregarding the dimensional hemisphere, he tore the barrier and inserted it into the dimensional hemisphere.
The cyan and gold colored profound light that covered the spatial hemisphere immediately permeated through the spatial cracks, causing the crack that Yang Junshan had opened to become larger and larger, until the entire fixed sea anchor was able to escape from it.
Soon enough, it attached itself to the fixed sea anchor’s body. The entire fixed sea anchor body instantly trembled, and Yang Junshan could even feel the fear of the artifact spirit within the fixed sea anchor, because if Yang Junshan wanted to destroy this daoyin apparatus s body, that would be done in an instant.
Yang Junshan smiled at Taoist Jiangxin, who was also looking back with fear, then suddenly flung the anchor chain in his hand. Amidst the crisp sound of metal splashing, the green and gold light surrounding the fixed sea anchor body became even brighter, and Yang Junshan felt the anchor chain on his hand lighten. Immediately, he lifted one of his hands, and the fixed sea anchor body immediately flew up from the space that had been torn apart.
Taoist Jiangxin walked over quickly, his face still showing excitement, and said: “Brother Yang, thank you, thank you!”
Yang Junshan laughed: “It’s nothing, you don’t have to be so polite Brother Jiang!”
Taoist Jiangxin nodded his head gratefully, extended his hand, and the fixed sea anchor that was originally tied to the anchor chain easily escaped its imprisonment, shrinking to the size of a pendant and landing in his palm.
Eastern Tower and Eastern Xu also walked over with excitement on their faces. It was obvious that this lower tier daoyin apparatus was of extraordinary significance to the Flying Sword Sect.
The Taoist Jiangxin pointed to an anchor chain on the ground: Although this anchor chain is not as good as the fixed sea anchor, it is still quite impressive.
Yang Junshan was not unreasonable, he was able to discern that the anchor chain was made of an extremely special material, after all, it could be used to imprison daoyin apparatus s. However, the other end of the anchor chain was connected to the boat, so breaking it wouldn’t be easy.
Unexpectedly, just as Yang Junshan was thinking about how he should break the anchor chain to the boat, the person from the east building had already made his move. With a flash of sword light, the anchor chain on the boat was instantly snapped, and with a shake of his hand, the anchor chain that was as thick as his arm immediately curled into a ball, which he kept in his storage treasure.
“My little friend Jun Shan …”
At that moment, however, a loud creaking sound suddenly came from the entire boat. The four Daoists’ faces changed drastically, but before they could react, the massive boat suddenly swung left from its stern.
Yang Junshan’s feet flashed with light, and his entire body seemed to suddenly sink downwards, the swaying of the ship did not make him stagger at all, while the other three Flying School Daoists also used their own methods to stand firm in the swaying of the boat, but the swaying of the boat did not stop. After it reached its limit, it suddenly swayed right again.
At this time, Yang Junshan and the other three Daoists finally had a change in expression. If the enormous boat were to sway like this, after a few more times, the entire boat would probably collapse!
Fortunately, the boat’s hull gradually stabilized after swaying back and forth twice in the air, but Yang Junshan and the rest’s expression did not improve at all. The few of them looked at the stern of the boat simultaneously, the fixed sea anchor which was just hanging down was taken away, and the entire boat started to shake, if there was a direct reason why, even Yang Junshan himself would not believe it.
Yang Junshan and the other two were not the only ones alarmed by the sudden upheaval in the boat, it was the various Dao Realm cultivators on the boat. After a brief period of calm, the Dao Realm experts did not retreat, but instead grew even more frenzied.
