Chapter 312 - Immersion

Not long after the two of them left through the crack between the two stone pillars, an intense fluctuation of spiritual energy came from the direction they were previously at. Soon after, the curses of Cheng and Spiritual Masters could be heard.

Adept Cheng and Daoist Master Cheng scolded, but they didn’t hear the sound of Daoist Master Lang Gu’s voice. It was clear that the two of them were not on the same path, and at this time, Dao Master Lang Gu shouldn’t have arrived yet.

Even though it was impossible to prove that Cheng and Spiritual Master Chen Ji had indeed come from the other side of the path that Spiritual Master Chen Ji had originally wanted to leave from, it was true that the two of them were not together.

Spiritual Master Chen Ji glanced at Yang Junshan with praise, then brought Yang Junshan to a fork in the road, leaving the direction they were originally heading towards, and walked towards a narrow pathway.

Yang Junshan quickly realized that Spiritual Master Chen Ji seemed to be extremely familiar with the paths he had taken. He was always able to detect some of the restrictions and traps at the first possible moment, so he did not need to probe any further to easily avoid them.

This was a stark contrast to the fact that the two of them had moved forward step by step, and even asked for Yang Junshan’s opinion from time to time when they were exploring the road forward. Yang Junshan was almost certain that Spiritual Master Chen Ji himself was a Grandmaster level Array Master.

Since Spiritual Master Chen Ji was an array master, then there was only one possibility for him to advance and retreat amidsreasure grade array. Earlier, Spiritual Master Chen Ji had been here, and the entire process was definitely not easy.

Since that was the case, then there was only one possibility for Spiritual Master Chen Ji to take this old path again, and that was that he must have discovered something on this path before. However, in the end, he did not manage to obtain the object he discovered, and most likely, it was blocked by a powerful Guardian Formation that caused all his efforts to fail.

Aesult, the reason why Spiritual Master Chen Ji brought Yang Junshan here was extremely obvious, he obviously wanted to borrow Yang Junshan’s attainments in array formations to obtain the treasure discovered. Even if Yang Junshan was only an ordinary array master, with this, one could still see Spiritual Master Chen Ji’s anxious mood and the value of the object he discovered!

Yang Junshan, who had just finished his deduction, looked on helplessly as Spiritual Master Chen Ji extended his leg out to the corner of the small path, and then, in an instant, a tornado formed with him as the center. Wind blades were like blades, and every single tornado was like countless sharp blades that pierced towards Spiritual Master Chen Ji’s body, as though they wanted to slice him inthousand pieces.

Fortunately, Yang Junshan did not let his guard down just because of how familiar he was with. The moment the formation force was activated, he flew backwards, and took advantage of the weak tornado force in the surroundings to break through the outer perimeter, not getting swept away by the formation force.

However, even though Yang Junshan managed to escape at the last moment, he was still powerless against Spiritual Master Chen Ji, who was trapped in the tornado. This was, after all, a precious array formation, and the fact that he could escape at such a crucial moment was already extremely valuable, let alone the fact that he had to save someone.

The terrified Yang Junshan, who was still in a daze, immediately started to carefully observe the tornado that had already started to shrink, and slowly formed a towering pillar of wind. From within, Spiritual Master Chen Ji’s angry roar came out, layer after layer of True Divine Spirit Qi exploding from the tornado, but was still unable to stop the penetrating tornado.

This should be caused by the power of the person in the formation, but the power of the wind was used to replace the power of the human.

Yang Junshan then looked to the other side, at the turning point of the small path, there should have been an array trap here, and it was also the route that the small path had to take. Previously, when Spiritual Master Chen Ji walked over here, he intentionally avoided the trap, but it was obvious that he had already suffered a loss here, so he walked through the outermost corner, attempting to bypass the trap.

Spiritual Master Chen Ji thought that he had avoided the trap that he had triggered earlier, but unexpectedly, he fell into another trap. Between the two traps, there was only a narrow path that was half a foot wide, which was the true route to safety.

Originally, with Yang Junshan’s attainments in array formations, it was impossible for him to see through the array traps at the corners of the small path as well as the routes that he could take safely. However, at this moment, when the array traps had been activated and all of his strength had been transferred to suppress Spiritual Master Chen Ji, it instead gave him the possibility of seeing through the real world.

Since he could already see through the array’s trap, then Yang Junshan would like to help whether it was possible for him to help Spiritual Master Chen Ji.

Yang Junshan, who had calmed down, truly found a trace of possibility. There were two traps laid at the turn of the array, and the initial two traps were designed so that people who wanted to break through the array, whether they were walking in the front or back, could enter the trap. As for the half a foot of safe path left in the middle, it was only because the two traps were incompatible, they could only leave space.

However, these two traps came from the same source, which also led tossibility. When the other trap was triggered, the power of the other trap would be transferred, and vice versa!

Now that the energy contained in the two array formations had been concentrated on the outside and suppressed by Spiritual Master Chen Ji, if the inside trap was also triggered, the power of the array formation that was used to suppress Spiritual Master Chen Ji would naturally be split. This way, Spiritual Master Chen Ji would naturally have the possibility of breaking through!

At this time, Spiritual Master Chen Ji had already brought out a High quality magical equipment, and with the addition of his True Handle, he created a small space inside the wind pillar, allowing the people to fight evenly with each other!

Yang Junshan calculated again and again until he was sure that his deduction was correct. Then, he took a few steps back, and with a wave of his hand, the Snake-Necked Bow appeared in his hands. With a wave of his right hand, a bone arrow shot out from the bowstring, and he pointed it towards another trap in the formation around the corner.

Yang Junshan had obtained this bone arrow when he was fighting with the border guards to clear a mysterious barbarian tribe. As the barbarian bone tools required one’s Qi to activate, most of the bone tools were useless in the hands of the cultivators. In the end, they were all taken away by Yang Junshan and made into bone arrows.

Although these bone arrows were unable to trigger the spirit energy in the cultivator’s body, they were capable of breaking through restrictions. Yang Junshan shot out his arrow, and the powerful bow force directly shot through another array formation’s trap, the array force was immediately activated, and dozens of light green wind blades danced about, locking a nearby region in on them.

Yang Junshan gasped, he did not know how Spiritual Master Chen Ji was able to escape from this trap safely!

Once the two formations were activated, the power of the formation that was originally suppressing Spiritual Master Chen Ji suddenly returned. A long whistle resounded from the wind pillar, and Spiritual Master Chen Ji clearly discovered the change in the formation’s power at the first moment. The space opened up by the power of True Divine Realm immediately moved outwards from the wind pillar, and actually walked out from the wind pillar while facing the spinning wind blades head on!

The golden True Divine Spirit was condensed around Spiritual Master Chen Ji’s body, it was as thougowering mountain was being engulfed by the violent winds, it was unmoving!

Could this be the legendary Precious Techniques and Divine Powers that was as unmoving as a mountain?

Yang Junshan looked at the Spiritual Master Chen Ji who seemed to be covered in a layer of golden light armor, his eyes almost popping out!

In the cultivation world, the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers had been passed down for three hundred and sixty-five years, and because there weren’t many of them, there were people who ranked all the Precious Techniques and Divine Powerccording to their strength, and the Immovable Mountains Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, because of its powerful defensive power, was ranked thirty-third among the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers!

Even so, there were still many people who were skeptical about it. The reason was simple, as it waurely defensive ability, when compared to the powerful offensive Precious Techniques and Divine Powers s that would cause the cultivators to be excited during the battle, the latter would always be favored.

The Immoveable Mountain Precious Techniques and Divine Powers had another fatal flaw, and once it was used, the cultivator would basically becomure target, and it would be extremely difficult for him to even move. Just like how Spiritual Master Chen Ji was just now, although he could obviously escape from the clutches of the wind pillar once the power of the wind pillar had greatly decreased, he could only walk out of it step by step because of the Immoveable Mountain Precious Techniques and Divine Powers.

After walking out of the range of the trap formation, and dispersing the Art of Immovable Mountains, Spiritual Master Chen Ji looked at Yang Junshan with a shocked expression and laughed: “You’re quite knowledgeable, you even know this Immovable Mountains Precious Techniques and Divine Powers!”

Yang Junshan could not help but laugh: “Teacher, don’t forget that you once guided this disciple in obtaining the inheritance of the Spirit Rank Formation, Immovable Mountains. This set of formation that is Immovable Mountains was actually birthed from the Immovable Mountains Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, this is why this disciple is able to recognize it!”

Spiritual Master Chen Ji turned his head and looked at the similarly activated formation on the other side. He instantly understood Yang Junshan’s method of breaking through the formation, and couldn’t help but praise. “Smart!”

Yang Junshan immediately replied humbly: “If it wasn’t for teacher attracting the power of the formation to yourself, disciple would not have found this flaw so easily!”

Walking along a path that was not even half a foot away from two array traps, Spiritual Master Chen Ji suddenly turned his head and looked around as if he had thought of something. Just as Yang Junshan was about to ask, he heard him say, “This place is actually an extremely good place to ambush!”

Seeing Yang Junshan’s stunned expression, Spiritual Master Chen Ji laughed and said, “Those two people have already caught up with me. What do you think if I were to launch an ambush here?”

Yang Junshan had originally thought that he had already gotten rid of the two cultivators, but now that he heard that not only did the two cultivators not get rid of him, they had even caught up to him, causing his heart to jump to his throat, he couldn’t help but ask, “How did they catch up?”

Spiritual Master Chen Ji looked far behind him, and said indifferently: “Because the formation traps on this path were created by me and Spiritual Master Lang Gu together from the very beginning, so Spiritual Master Lang Gu is very clear on what this old man wants to do. If he still dares to chase after us now, then he must have already told this old man and his previous discoveries!”

Yang Junshan’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but ask: “What did Teacher find on this path before?”

Spiritual Master Chen Ji looked at him and a few words that made Yang Junshan’s heart race jumped out of his mouth, “A spirit artifact!”

Please forgive me if the format is wrong!
