Chapter 709 - Diapause

However, it did not have much of an impact on Yang Junshan. His entire mind was currently focused on saving others, and he wholeheartedly wanted to find Yan Qinxi in the shortest amount of time possible.

However, the third restriction barrier was clearly more difficult to break than the second barrier. The other three array masters had speculations that it would take at least one to two hours before they could open it.

The few Spiritual Masters were bored out of their minds because of their lack of rewards, but they suddenly heard Yang Junshan laugh and said, “Don’t be so hasty, if you were to follow a normal array to break it down, it would indeed take a long time, but you have forgotten that this barrier is sturdy, but because you have focused more power, it is extremely weak in connection with the surrounding restrictions.”

Ye Wushang clapped his hands and said, “Yes, why didn’t I think of that?”

Lu Jing also said, “Wouldn’t this mean that I can forcefully break through?”

Mo Ziqi sighed, “The most efficient way to break through an array is usually through brute force!”

This time, it was the Adept Qiyang who attacked. In terms of the destructive power of the sacred art, the first move was the fire attribute sacred art, the Adept Qiyang aimed at the same spot on the barrier screen and controlled the power of the explosion to the most appropriate degree, causing the barrier screen to shatter, but it did not cause too much damage to other people or the buildings inside the barrier screen.

“Heh, the Spiritual Energy here seems to have become denser!”

Adept Qing Feng felt the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around him, and said: “There’s a spiritual vein here!”

The entire Heaven-Shaking Peak naturally had one main vein of spirit energy, but when it was revealed on the surface, there were many different uses for it, and after the Heaven-Shaking Peak collapsed, the spirit rivers and spirit veins scattered in all directions, some of them even had to be separated again, and at this time, Yang Junshan and the various cultivators entered a forbidden area with a few scattered spirit veins.

Yang Junshan laughed and asked: “Brother Qingfeng, you have studied the Spirit Seeking Technique as well?”

Adept Qing Feng shook his head and laughed bitterly: “I was originally a rogue cultivator, so I have to think of every method and method I could come in contact with, but everything doesn’t matter to me.

Yang Junshan said: “Since that’s the case, then I shall invite brother Qingfeng to come to our branch!”

The Adept Qing Feng was startled, he looked around, and the rest of the people did not have any objections, and said helplessly: “Alright, but we still need Brother Yang to help us with setting up the array.”

Yang Junshan nodded and laughed, “Of course, but now that the forbidden array is deep underground, even if we have set up a large suction formation and have buried the Space Abyss Rock inside, we will have to wait for the entire array to collapse before we can activate it.”

While the Adept Qing Feng was in the process of splitting the veins apart, Yang Junshan had already headed towards the next barrier of light, while Yang Junhao and the rest were unwillingly searching for something in the barrier. They did not believe that other than the few spirit veins, there was nothing else.

However, this search, which was equivalent to digging, had yielded some results.

“This should be a mountain that fell apart after the collapse, but the inside of the mountain is now exposed.” The Adept Chang Li guessed.

Adept Qiyang said helplessly: “Does that mean if you want to reap any rewards, you will have to dig this mountain out of the air, so that you can get out of the surface of Heaven-Shaken Sect?”

Spiritual Master Lin Canghai said dejectedly, “Let alone digging through this broken mountain, even if we could, with sucuge mountain collapsing, how much of the mountain’s surface would be left?”

Yang Junhao tried to ask, “How about we dig up everything?”

Spiritual Master Lin Canghai glanced at Yang Junshan’s position and said, “Do you think that we should dig faster, or does your brother break the next restriction barrier faster?”

“About this…”

Spiritual Master Lin Canghai then said: “Alright, alright, right now, we should follow Master Jun Shan to quickly break through the forbidden space and save her. Furthermore, Brother Qingfeng has already divided the spirit veins well, let us set up the pulling array first!”

Adept Chang Li and Adept Qiyang glanced at each other almost imperceptibly, as if they had understood each other’s thoughts. After that, they took out two Space Abyss Rocks and handed them over to Lu Jing and Ye Lingshang to set up the attraction formation.

When breaking through the fourth layer of restrictions, Yang Junshan once again used the “array theft” technique. The moment he passed through the barrier, he actually turned around and returned, and his expression did not look good.

“Why?” Mo Ziqi asked in confusion.

Yang Junshan looked at everyone, his expression was strange, and said: “You guys will see for yourselves in a bit!”

The fourth barrier quickly opened, and the scene in front of them caused the faces of the few Adepts to turn ugly.

Corpses were strewn all over the area. Nearly a hundred corpses were scattered all over the twenty to thirty acres of land. Most of them had already rotted to the point where only bones were left.

Adept Chang Li and Adept Qiyang were silent.

Adept Qiyang looked at the two of them, and laughed: “Thinking about it, these are the cultivators that the various sects allied and slaughtered when Heaven-Shaken Sect was destroyed right?”

When Yang Junhao saw the depressing atmosphere, he could not help but ask: “It seems that these cultivators are desperately resisting?”

At that time, fire valley and Tan Xi Sect had participated in the sects which destroyed Heaven-Shaking Peak back then.

The three martial arts realm formation masters did not say a word, and only listened to the orders of the few cultivators, while the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Western Mountain Madame Yang were completely unrelated to the scene in front of them, so Yang Junshan continued to speak, “There are traces of a formation here. It’s obvious that all of these groups together are not to defend anything, but to protect something.”

Yang Junhao’s eyes lit up the moment he heard it, and could not help but ask anxiously: “Brother, could it be to protect something, could it breasure vault of the Heaven-Shaken Sect?”

Yang Junshan shot a glance at him, and laughed: “Even if there really ireasure trove, how many treasures do you think will be left in the treasury after seeing the scene in front of us?”

Yang Junhao could not help but be greatly disappointed when he heard this. The scene before him, which was akin to a massacre and slaughter, clearly showed that the cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect did not stop the various sects from working together.

Yang Junshan’s voice came from the other side of the barrier, and said: “First, put these corpses and storage bag back into their original positions, then burn them away and bury them in the ground!”

The three Heavenly Dipper Realm Dao Masters were all unwilling to take action, so Yang Junhao and Adept Qing Feng had no choice but to bring the three formation masters to collect the corpses on the ground, then Yang Junhao set them on fire, turning them into ashes.

Most of the remaining storage bag were destroyed after the fall of the cultivators. Jade Coins s, spirit materials, herbs, pill bottles, talismans, treasure fragments and more were scattered all over the place. The three array masters had basically collected all the useful things.

These things were mostly low-grade materials, and a few Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns looked down on them, as well as disdained keeping things that could kill people in check. Even the Adept Qing Feng did not join the final count, in the end, it was Yang Junhao and the four martial arts realm Formation Masters who took care of this pile of scattered things.

“I’m afraid that I will have to borrow the strength of Brother Qingfeng or Senior Lin to break this barrier.”

At this time, Yang Junshan’s voice came from afar.

“Oh, what do you mean?” When Spiritual Master Lin Canghai heard this, his spirits were lifted.

Yang Junshan explained in a simple manner, “This barrier of restrictions looks tough but it is actually incomplete. The gaps in the formations are extremely minute and narrow, and only by borrowing the power of wind and water can one make use of these gaps and quickly break through to the next layer of restrictions.”

Spiritual Master Lin Canghai nodded and said, “Let this old man give iry!”

Following Yang Junshan’s guidance, Spiritual Master Lin Canghai pressed a palm against the barrier and then a sound like the rising and falling of an ocean suddenly rang out. Following the rising and falling of the ocean waves, they collided with the barrier again and again, and the minute gaps and gaps were penetrated bit by bit by the water-like true essence. Following Spiritual Master Lin’s shout, the entire barrier was instantly filled with spiderweb-like cracks, and the cracks gradually expanded, before finally breaking apart completely under Yang Junshan’s pushing, and opening the door to the next layer of barrier.

“This is …”

Seeing the scene that appeared before his eyes, Yang Junhao couldn’t help but cry out.

Just as Yang Junshan and the rest were breaking through the fifth layer of restrictions, at an unknown location on the Heaven-Shaking Peak, Zhang Yueming and Adept Zhu were temporarily resting in a forbidden area.

It was only after a long while that he said in a low voice, “This place should bart of the rear mountains of the Heaven-Shaking Peak that is viewing the Cloud Cliff. Following the collapse of the main mountain, for some reason, it fell to the spot right in front of the mountain.

Adept Zhu’s expression turned slightly pale, it was clear that the successive breakthroughs of the barrier of restrictions had caused him to consume a lot of energy. He sighed and said, “The main peak has collapsed, the mountain body has scattered everywhere, and all the remnants that could be used to determine the location have scattered, we can only rely on the general direction to find them. That place is just like the Heaven Punisher’s secret room, and was specially set up by our sect.

Adept Zhu paused, then asked: “How is the refining of the residual mace progressing?”

Zhang Yueming said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry Junior Master, I can already control it freely.”

The Adept Zhu was slightly gratified to hear this, and said: “That’s good, now that the main peak has collapsed, the secret realm must have already been sealed. Only by using the main body of the heaven striking mace can we forcefully open uassage for the two of us to enter and exit the secret realm.”

At another corner of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s forbidden array, Brother Zhuge’s current progress had even surpassed Yang Junshan and the others. When these two formation masters combined with the assistance of Profound Handle Adept An Taiqing, they had already broken through six layers of restrictions consecutively.
