The footsteps got closer and the sounds became clearer.
“… It should have been a mistake. We should have sent our fellow Paragons to pay us a visit. ”
This was a voice that Yang Junshan and the others were familiar with. Zhang Yueming, the true disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the genius Zhang Yueming, had never thought that he would come to the Yu Cheng, so he was willing to part with this Heaven-Shaken Sect.
“Haha, Junior Zhang is magnanimous, I am truly impressed by you, but Junior Zhang, do you know how many true disciples have fought over these three spots?”
This voice sounded very familiar as well, but Yang Junshan couldn’t immediately remember who this person was.
Zhang Yueming’s voice sounded again, “Didn’t Senior Brother Song Wei give up!”
At this time, another voice spoke: “Senior Brother Song Wei is an aged Perfection of the cultivator, and is only one step away from the realms of life. It doesn’t matter if he comes or not, but Junior Brother Zhang, you are different.”
The familiar voice sounded again, “Brother Huang is right.”
Zhang Yueming said in shame, “Speaking of which, I had implicated the two senior brothers. If I did not come this time, the two senior brothers’ closed door cultivation would not have ended so quickly.”
The familiar voice continued: “Haha, what is Junior Zhang talking about? Our sect will soon have another Adept Realm Cultivator. We won’t even have time to be happy.
Other than that, Shixiong Huang also laughed: “What Shixiong Liu said is true, Junior Zhang is truly a genius. If not for the fact that the realms of life would causotal backlash by attacking the peak’s secret chamber, perhaps we would already be able to witness one of the youngest Adept Realm Cultivator s in the history of our sect.”
Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Liu, that’s right, this person is Liu Zhifei, the inner disciple of Heaven-Shaken Sect who once had a happy cooperation with him at the border of the three counties, and then left on a bad day, is now a true disciple at the great perfection stage.
From their conversation, it was clear that Zhang Yueming had already pushed his cultivation to the peak of the martial arts realm, and only the last step was needed to break through the last bottleneck to advance to the realms of life. It was precisely because of this that the three of them had no choice but to end their seclusion at the peak of the mountain, and hurriedly returned to the Jinyu County to prepare for their breakthrough.
At this time, the three had already reached this layer of residual array that Yang Junshan and the rest were hiding at. Yang Junshan was already able to see the three people in front of him through the concealed light screen.
Zhang Yueming’s face still had a look of guilt, but he said: “Why don’t you two senior brothers go back and go into closed door cultivation, I can go back by myself Jinyu County.”
However, Liu Zhifei laughed and said: “What are you saying, Junior Brother Zhang, your safety is the most important right now. We all know the current situation in the ten thousand li of wilderness outside the Yu Cheng, and if the elders of the sect were to find out that the two of us are going to let you take the risk and return, wouldn’t it mean that we won’t be able to take any advantage of you, Junior Brother, after you advance into the realms of life?”
Zhang Yueming said embarrassedly: “Senior Brother Liu, you must be joking, since this time Junior Brother only wants me to advance to the realms of life, in the future I will definitely help you two Senior Brothers to break through the bottleneck of the realms of life with all my power.”
Zhang Yueming’s words were spoken seriously, and not only Liu Zhifei, even Brother Huang, who was busy breaking through the array with his head lowered, stood up and bowed: “Thank you, Junior Zhang!”
The residual array s were quickly broken apart, and the three of them continued to laugh as they walked out. However, the moment they passed through the residual array s, Senior Brother Huang seemed to have some doubts as he looked in the direction Yang Junshan and the rest were hiding in, and said with a sigh: “To be honest, I truly wish I could calm my heart and focus on researching the forbidden array, the ancestors of the sect had too many secret techniques that were lost, for example the forbidden array, so far away from the Heaven-Shaking Peak, is still protecting this secret passage from outside detection. Otherwise, how could our Heaven-Shaken Sect end up like today?”
The other two people’s hearts became a bit heavy as they heard Brother Huang’s sigh.
Zhang Yueming patted Senior Brother Huang’s shoulder, and said: “Don’t worry, Senior Brother. There will be a day when our Heaven-Shaken Sect will return to Heaven-Shaking Peak!”
Senior Brother Huang, seeing the determination in Zhang Yueming’s eyes, couldn’t help but be moved and nod: “That’s right, I also firmly believe that, although Heaven-Shaken Sect is down and out, he can still control a foundation that is difficult to attain for other sects. In the end, the future of Yuzhou’s cultivation world cannot be short of my Heaven-Shaken Sect.”
His deep gaze seemed to be brewing with something, and he suddenly laughed: “I don’t dare agree with Senior Brother Huang’s words, how can my Heaven-Shaken Sect only have a single seat in the Yuzhou, in my opinion, not only will we return to the Heaven-Shaking Peak, we will also return to the glory of monopolizing the Yuzhou for thousands of years ago.”
Brother Huang laughed heartily. “That’s right, that’s right. Junior Liu is right, but you are being too petty.”
They watched as the three of them walked further and further into the tunnel until their figures disappeared at the end. After about another two hours, a ripple suddenly appeared at the originally empty corner of the residual array. A transparent light barrier suddenly appeared, and Yang Junshan and the other two people gradually revealed themselves.
“Brother, what should we do? There are already people from the Heaven-Shaken Sect here, should we still go in?” Yang Junping asked worriedly.
Yang Junshan looked at the direction that Zhang Yueming and the rest were heading towards, and pondered for a moment, then said: “Let’s continue walking, in this short period of time, no one will come from Heaven-Shaken Sect!”
If Yang Junshan’s estimations were not bad, it would be extremely difficult for the Heaven-Shaken Sect to hide the three true disciples and send them to the secret passage. Now that the wind was blowing so fiercely, the Heaven-Shaken Sect would soon launch a new competition for the Sunset Ridge’s huge mine, and at this time, they would definitely not have the time to risk sending their true disciples to the Yu Cheng, not to mention that they were confident that no one else would detect them in the near future.
The three of them passed through the residual array, and continued to walk up the path towards the core area of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, even though there was only a small stone room in the area.
Zhang Yueming’s cultivation had actually already touched the barrier of the realms of life, and he didn’t even dare to stay inside the mountain peak’s stone room for a moment longer.
This person was truly worthy of being called a heaven warping genius. Ever since Yang Junshan had experienced his previous life, he went through many schemes, and even could be considered to have plundered by many means. The only thing he could do with all his strength was barely able to keep up with the other person’s footsteps.
Sometimes, fate was really f * cking strange!
Furthermore, these scouts were able to immediately alert the onlookers when they enter. The reason why previously, Yang Junshan was able to immediately tell that someone had already come here, when he entered the tunnel, was because these methods he left behind the first time he came here, were all triggered.
When the three of them entered the stone room through the cave entrance, there was no longer any red fog around, but the dense spiritual energy still gave off a sticky feeling.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Regardless of whether it was Yang Junping or the others, they had never seen suciver of surging spirit energy. Under the influence of such powerful spirit energy, the two baleful qi realm cultivators found it hard to control themselves.
Seeing the two of them in such a sorry state, Yang Junshan laughed “Hehe”: “Looks like you two still haven’t tempered enough bodies, if not you wouldn’t have to get used to this environment filled with dense spirit energy.”
“Cough cough, brother, could this be the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s summit? The spirit energy here is too dense, I can feel the spirit energy surging into my mouth, and the spirit energy in my body is unable to dissipate at all. Cough cough, bad, bad, cough cough, bad, it seems like there’s something wrong with my tone!”
Yang Junshan saw that Yang Junping was coughing so much that tears almost flowed out. He could not help but laugh: “Alright, stop talking, hurry up and cultivate!”
The two of them naturally knew that this place waaradise for them to cultivate. Without saying a word, Yang Junping immediately started to circulate the “Overlapping Earth Art” and started to cultivate, while Su Baozhang’s face was also flushed red and said worriedly: “This kind of environment’s spirit energy is too dense, I’m afraid it’s not enough. Even if we were to cultivate, with Jun Ping and I, I probably won’t be able to last long before being unable to absorb the spirit energy in our bodies!”
Yang Junshan laughed and said: “Then I will continue to temper my body and cultivate at the same time. The more powerful my body, the more it will enhance the absorption of spirit energy and the efficiency of my training. Furthermore, training in this kind of environment will also have twice the results with half the effort.”
After carefully inspecting around the stone room, Yang Junshan found a few things. However, he did not discover these things when he first arrived at the stone room, but rather found out that they were things that the three Successor Disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect had left behind.
“Seems like the Adept Qing Shu knows that they won’t be able to return to the Heaven-Shaking Peak in a short period of time, so he decided to transfer some of the spirit veins out. However, with so many Spiritual Beads, how long will it take to nurture them?
The Spiritual Brewing Bead was an artifact refined by a refiner. It was buried in a place with abundant Spiritual Energy. After a long time, the Spiritual Energy here would be slowly absorbed into the Spiritual Bead and it would slowly form into a man-made Spiritual Bead.
Of course, nurturing a Spiritual Bead was usually a long process, but it also depended on the amount of Spiritual Energy there was, the denser the Spiritual Energy was, the shorter the final time the Spiritual Bead would take to form, and nurturing a Source Spirit Bead in the stone room at the top of Heaven-Shaking Peak, that time would naturally be even shorter.
However, Zhang Yueming and the rest had buried twelve Spiritual Beads in this place in one go, and under such circumstances, even if the Spiritual Qi in the cave was as dense aiver, it would not be able to fill up the entire place. Furthermore, when the time came, the secret passage would have long been discovered by the other powers, so these Spiritual Beads would only be beneficial to others.
Yang Junshan immediately broke through the formation after seeing that and kept the nine Spiritual Birth Pearls. The remaining three would probably mature in around a year.
