Dao Ancestor Ziyuan laughed and bent her waist, but Yang Junshan’s heart was cold.
Although his attack just now was out of anger, he had still used all of his strength. However, under the situation where Luo Jin Daoist was being pestered by Dao Ancestor Ziyuan with all his strength, Yang Junshan had at most smashed half of his shoulder, showing the might of a Dao Ancestor!
“Brat, you’re quite brave to actually dare to attack the Taoist Patriarch!”
Daofather Ziyuan’s faint voice could be heard, but it was as if she was unable to hold back her laughter. “I can’t believe I allowed you to succeed!”
And then, Daofather Ziyuan 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 resisted: “Could it be that if I let him, the Luo Hairpin Dao, kill me, then I won’t be able to retaliate?”
Dao Ancestor Ziyuan said coldly, “From the point of view of the Daoist cultivators, you should indeed kill them immediately!”
Yang Junshan’s face was naturally filled with unwillingness to accept this.
“Don’t look so unconvinced. When the day comes that you stand at our level, you will understand what I 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 foeriod of time, but I will not be able to protect you for a lifetime.”
Yang Junshan was upset by Dao Ancestor Ziyuan’s words, but after hearing it, he asked, “Speaking of which, it is quite strange. At that time, even I, the Daofather, would have thought that you were doomed to die.
After Yang Junshan narrowly escaped death, the first thing he felt was not the power of the Five Viscera Atlas that he had coincidentally successfully cultivated with. Rather, before he possessed the power to protect this secret, he absolutely could not leak the secret of the Five Viscera Atlas.
“This junior has a secret technique on his body called ‘Substitute Feather’, which can be used to save lives at a critical moment. However, this secret technique alone is naturally unable to withstand the might of the Taoist Ancestor, luckily senior was able to destroy more than half of the Taoist Luo Xian’s divine power in time, and my disciple’s Shocking Stone Fist was weakened a bit more, which is why I was able to escape in the end.”
He laughed: “This guy, you actually have quite a few strange abilities, to actually be able to obtain sucare secret technique in this cultivation world. I have to say that your luck is quite good, maybe in the end, this senior will be able to reap some benefits from your luck, but from what I know, this kind of life-changing secret technique might actually harm the cultivators themselves, even if it succeeds.”
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 the Scarlet Fruit that senior handed to me earlier, for no reason, I was almost killed by someone, this junior was too angry, but could do nothing about it, once the Body Substitute Feather secret technique was activated, it used up all of the cultivator’s blood essence, so I had no choice but to eat one first, and almost instantly replenished all of my lost vitality, so I was able to sneak attack Daoist Luo Jin with all my might!
In fact, when Yang Junshan was hit by the Luo Jin Daoist’s finger on his chest, he did not even have the time to activate the substitute feather secret technique, and a big hole had already been pierced through the center of his heart. This was because after Yang Junshan had opened the diagram of his heart to cultivate, his heart was different from an ordinary person’s, if it was anyone else under that attack, their heart would have already been smashed into pieces.
However, no matter if it was the heart that was penetrated or shattered, it was still enough to cause fatal injuries. However, after Yang Junshan had cultivated the diagram in his heart, he had obtained a certain amount of recovery power from it, and in that instant, the origin of nine people in his dantian was swiftly mobilized, and unceasingly, started to repair his heart. In order to replenish the large amount of vitality consumed in his body, Yang Junshan had no choice but to swallow a Scarlet Fruit.
“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 his head and began breaking through the array barrier. However, Daofather Ziyuan did not take the opportunity to open up the spatial tunnel to search for treasures, but took out a longan sized pellet from her storage treasure and swallowed it before starting to cultivate. The energy of heaven and earth that filled the diameter of the pellet was attracted and poured into her body.
Yang Junshan quickly broke through the fifth barrier and headed towards the last intersection. This time, even Yang Junshan was excited, it was enough to make people excited to see the legendary treasures.
However, right at this moment, Daofather Ziyuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped without any warning. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yang Junshan had extremely strong control over his own body, he would have crashed right into her from behind.
“Senior.” Yang Junshan asked, confused.
Dao Ancestor Ziyuan sighed and said, “We are in trouble!”
When he stuck his head out from behind Dao Ancestor Ziyuan, Yang Junshan’s eyes turned white. Immediately, he saw that at the very last intersection, a middle aged cultivator with three long whiskers and an ancient complexion was also looking at them, and when Yang Junshan looked over, the middle aged cultivator immediately noticed it, and turned to look at Yang Junshan. Yang Junshan immediately felt as if his eyes were pierced by two sword lights, and even tears were flowing down.
“That’s the Taoist Eastflow of the Huzhou. His swordsmanship and abilities have reached perfection, the sword intent is everywhere on his body.” Dao Ancestor Ziyuan stopped in her tracks, and instead introduced the distant Daoist to Yang Junshan.
Yang Junshan carefully asked: “Then how is senior compared to him?”
Daofather Ziyuan gavare bitter laugh, “This Daofather isn’t a match for him!”
After pausing for a moment, Dao Ancestor Ziyuan continued: “This person’s cultivation is usually the same as mine, but the Flying Sword Sect is well-ordered, and is one of the top sects in the Huzhou. Legend has it that the Taoist Eastflow has already mastered the second set of Dao tier Sword Arts, and he also possesses the middle ranked daoyin apparatus, the Water Breaking Sword, that has been passed down by the Flying Sword Sect fohousand years.
Yang Junshan’s heart made a “thump” sound, and he said worriedly: “Then what should we do?”
“He has already discovered us, but he did not go forward to force us. We can only wait for him to leave and break the formation again.”
Yang Junshan could only say in a low voice: “Hopefully, this isn’t the time for him to cross paths with others.”
Daofather Ziyuan looked at him without saying a word. However, she took a few steps back at the secret path, and expressed her unwillingness to fight with the Taoist Eastflow in the distance.
From a distance, the Taoist Eastflow did not seem to be overly pressuring him, seeing that Dao Ancestor Ziyuan had retreated, Yang Junshan turned around and saw that behind him, there was another lady who seemed to be deducing the solution to the formation, but after a while, the lady seemed to have said a few words to the Taoist Eastflow, and the Taoist Eastflow suddenly turned around again. Yang Junshan’s gaze only caught a faint flash of light, and then the formation barrier was broken.
“What a sharp sword art!”
Dao Ancestor Ziyuan praised, while Yang Junshan was at a loss. Even with the Dianthus’s secret technique and ability, he was completely unable to sense the brilliance of the Taoist Eastflow’s sword technique.
“Let’s go!”
Because the Taoist Eastflow and the others had already found the other secret path, Dao Ancestor Ziyuan did not expect that there would still be people coming from the other secret path. Thus, while Yang Junshan was trying to break through the barrier to search for other useful things, he quickly found something.
“Eh? 500 years old Vampiric Vine? This iop grade spirit material used to refine whip-like magical equipment!”
Two cracking sounds could be heard, and two three-meter long slender vines appeared in Daofather Ziyuan’s hands. The vines were dark red in color, as if 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 together, and after putting away the five hundred year old Vampiric Vine, he fiddled with the Chess by his side a few more times before turning around and laughing, “It looks like I’ll have to borrow senior’s power to break through 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 overjoyed as she said, “As long as there’s still a spatial entrance, it means that the seven treasures inside have not been completely plucked. Let’s leave quickly!”
Hearing this, Yang Junshan was also overjoyed, he never thought that he would really be able to get the top seven from the forty-nine competitors.
Because he was too excited, Daofather Ziyuan grabbed onto Yang Junshan and pulled him all the way into the spatial entrance.
Yang Junshan suddenly felt countless streams of power that wanted to pull him backwards, and then it was as if this spatial burden had finally been torn apart. His eyes lit up, and just as he was about ten meters away, on top of the purplish black colored soil, there was an azure-green calabash vine.
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, to be able to enter the center of everlasting dense forest for the third time amongst all the competitors was already enough to make him secretly rejoice, but when he realized that two gourds had already been harvested, he felt a little regretful. It would be good if he could enter first.
Almost all of the Daoist Realm cultivators knew the importance of the Soul Splitting Gourd, thus, every time the everlasting dense forest opened the Seven Treasures Gourd, the Soul Splitting Gourd would be the most competitive treasure, the first choice for every cultivator that entered the place. Thus, there waigh chance that the Soul Splitting Gourd had already been snatched away.
“No matter what, I should take a look at the other five gourds first. After all, I didn’t leave empty-handed!”
Dao Ancestor Ziyuan extended her divine sense out to the five gourds that were ten meters away, but she suddenly revealed a look of disbelief and joy, “That’s impossible!”
