Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 278 - Formation Robe



Chapter 278 – Formation Robe

The first formation was only imprisoning. Moreover, as time passed, the white mist cage would even automatically dissipate, releasing the cultivators that were trapped inside.

The second array became an illusory one, and inside the illusory realm, all the cultivators’ senses were covered. However, there were already dangers lurking around, and other than the cultivators that Yang Junshan met and fought over the treasures, there were also cultivators that were trapped in the illusory array. However, because of the huge change in their images, they had all become enemies.

Even so, from Yang Junshan’s point of view, at least these two formations had no intent of harming others, it was obvious that the cave’s master was doing it intentionally, or perhaps there was warning within.

However, what would they encounter next in the cave abode? If it was a formation, would it be as gentle as the previous two?

Yang Junshan’s footsteps paused, and ten meters in front of him, a frozen corpse stood upright in the middle of the passageway like a stranger. Even the expression of the person sealed in the ice could be clearly seen through the layer of ice, it looked extremely lifelike, as if he would be able to revive once the frozen layer of ice on the surface of his body melted.

This was also the reason why Yang Junshan felt that it was strange. There was not a single cold feeling in the cave, and the body that was sealed in ice did not have any remaining spirit energy around it.

Could it be because of the formation?

Yang Junshan thought, he was about to walk in front of the ice corpse, but suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he turned his head and waved his hand towards it.

The head of the ice corpse fell onto the ground from its neck, and ice shards fell to the ground. However, Yang Junshan was able to clearly see the neat and smooth cut on its neck.

This person was beheaded before being frozen!

This ice corpse was standing in the middle of the passage, which meant that after this person’s head was chopped off, they would not even have time to fall down, and the head would still be placed on the neck, and then be frozen again. It was only when Yang Junshan noticed the abnormality when he passed by, which showed just how severe the assassin’s attack was.

However, this was still not the place that made him feel serious. Yang Junshan had the Spiritual Awareness that surpassed cultivators of the same cultivation level when he was close by, and when Yang Junshan passed by the ice corpse, he noticed the faint ghost aura wrapped around this corpse.

This kind of aura was extremely faint, and it was obvious that the culprit had deliberately concealed his identity. If not for the fact that Yang Junshan had such an official Ghost Cultivators by his side and had received quite a lot of information regarding the Ghost Clan from her, Yang Junshan might not have been able to notice anything amiss.

There was a Ghost Cultivators in this cave!

The appearance of the foreign invaders seemed to be getting more frequent and rampant, Yang Junshan suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

When he turned around the corner, he was met with a breeze, causing Yang Junshan’s heart to suddenly palpitate. The Ethereal Spirit Force in his body erupted, but very quickly his expression changed, a layer of spiritual light floated along with the wind and formed a robe around his body, imprisoning the spiritual energy in his body.

The moment that the Spirit Robe was formed, another gust of wind blew by, Yang Junshan was looking down to check on his clothes, only to hear someone yelling at him from afar, “Be careful!”

Yang Junshan’s expression froze as he looked, the wind was already blowing on his body, causing him to instantly feel as if his body had been cut by a steel blade, his entire body feeling as though it was in great pain.

“Hey!”

The same voice from before continued, “I didn’t expect your body to be so refined. This strange wind actually didn’t hurt you!”

The door behind him had become even more illusionary, even when Yang Junshan was holding onto the mirror to illuminate the entrance, the passage behind him had also gradually hidden itself.

“You can only go in and out of this strange array. Since you’ve come in, there is only one way out. Or maybe you can just persevere and come here!”

The voice continued to explain, “Once a cultivator enters this place, he will be covered by a layer of formation clothes, imprisoning his cultivation level within his body. Even sacred arts cannot be used here.

At this time, Yang Junshan recognized the person who spoke, and laughed: “I never expected to meet you here!”

The voice also laughed, “To be able to meet you here, this one feels lucky. This formation is very strange, one can clearly see everything within the formation, but those who are trapped within can only look for the place outside the formation, moreover, those gusts of wind and frost have already taken the lives of many fellow daoists. Please forgive me for being unable to help, but with Fellow’s understanding of the body as well as the formation, finding the place out of the formation should not be too difficult.”

Yang Junshan laughed, then said: “Your esteemed self is already grateful to be able to guide Liu Feng and the cold wave!”

Although Yang Junshan talked back and forth with others, in reality, he was focusing half of his attention on the array uniform on his body. In his heart, he felt that his master’s attainments in formations were extremely profound.

Yang Junshan consecutively stepped into three array formations. Although each of the three array formations had their own strengths, one thing was the same, and that was that Yang Junshan had never realized the existence of an array formation before it was activated.

What did this mean, it meant that the owner of the cave had the ability to unknowingly kill an array master like Yang Junshan. This meant that the owner of the cave had intentionally lowered the difficulty of the array at the beginning.

Just based on the formation clothes, since the owner of the cave was able to imprison Yang Junshan’s cultivation when Yang Junshan was unable to resist, he could naturally take his life. In that case, the so called Great Guardian Formation was actually more like a method that the owner of the cave had intentionally left behind to test his descendants.

Just when Yang Junshan had gotten a hold of the uniform on his body, the voice from just now reminded him, “It seems like time is almost up. The cold wave is almost here!”

As soon as he said that, Yang Junshan felt the temperature around him drop greatly, the steam exhaled from his mouth had already turned into white droplets of frost falling down, his eyebrows were already covered with a layer of white frost, the cold energy seeped into his skin through the clothes, and wanted to freeze Yang Junshan’s entire body.

At this time, it was obvious how the corpse in the middle of the tunnel had been frozen. It wasn’t some external force that Yang Junshan had never seen before.

Even though Yang Junshan’s own mana had been sealed, his spiritual perception was still there. After the cold power within the wave invaded his skin, it attempted to freeze the circulation of the blood vessels in his body. Having lost the protection of the dirt spirit energy, Yang Junshan could only use his physical body to resist.

Now was the time to show the achievements Yang Junshan had gained in tempering his flesh and blood over the past few years. He had already mastered three of the eight《 Monarch Mountain Painting》 that was far better than that of the middle grade body forging; he had also mastered three sets of the Crouching Tiger Painting, the Tiger Inscription, and the Tiger Leap Painting; the several middle and low grade Body Tempering Fist Arts that Spiritual Master Chen Ji had taught him back then had all improved greatly as well.

Right now, Yang Junshan’s body had already started to transform its tendons and bones, and the tyrannical strength of his body also meant not only an increase in strength, but also a boundless vitality and a strong defense.

On a Cloud Platform in the Cold Wind Great Formation, Zhang Yueming and a few Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators were watching Yang Junshan’s actions in the array from afar. Although the array’s influence did not allow Yang Junshan to clearly see the scene inside the array, Zhang Yueming was still extremely focused.

A tall and muscular Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator laughed when he saw this: “Junior Brother Zhang, don’t have too high of expectations of this person, he is merely a baleful Qi Cultivator, although his cultivation is not bad, but in the end he is still just a village cultivator, how can he compare with our sect’s cultivators, in order to raise his cultivation, I think he might have borrowed some external means, this body will probably not be able to resist the dual assault of the cold wave and the strange wind.”

Zhang Yueming laughed but did not say anything. One of the cultivators standing beside him coughed twice, and laughed bitterly: “It is all because of me, Senior Brother. With Junior Brother’s strength, passing the formation in front of us is not a difficult task, at that time, you should be able to catch up with those late stage martial arts realm legacy cultivators of the sect!”

When the burly cultivator heard this, he looked a little unnatural, but he also said: “That’s right, Junior Zhang, why don’t you go on ahead, don’t you care about me and Senior Qiu, could it be that there are people in this land who dare to scheme against us Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators?”

As the tall and strong cultivator spoke, his gaze swept across the remaining cultivators. Among these people, there were three who had reached the late stage of the martial arts realm.

When these few cultivators looked over, they all simultaneously looked away and didn’t meet his gaze. Immediately, the tall and burly cultivator felt extremely satisfied with his superior vanity.

That seemingly injured Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator revealed a wry smile, but he still said: “Senior Gao is right, the array formation set up by Daoist Master Luo Xia seems to leave room for manoeuvres, if worst comes to worst, I and Senior Gao can wait for half a day, when the cave opens again tomorrow, we will just rush out!”

Hearing that, a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, but he still expressed his agreement. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard Zhang Yueming pointing at the array and laughing: “Look, the wind chill in the array can’t do anything to him!”

The burly cultivator was happy to keep his mouth shut and did not say anything. Looking around, he indeed saw that although Yang Junshan who was in the array could only make ouough outline, he had actually walked away against the cold tide.

Zhang Yueming clapped his hands, and laughed: “Do you two senior brothers know why I must leave him a favor? Because he is a formation master, if junior wants to bring senior brothers and sisters through this Cold Wind Great Formation and meet up with the other senior brothers of the sect, then I will have to borrow the power of this individual! ”

After thinking about how the Cold Wind Great Formation could have such a strange effect, Yang Junshan’s heart was filled with bewilderment as he tried to sense the situation of his body being attacked by the cold wave. This time, it could be considered an unexpected surprise.
