Chapter 769 - Pure Spirit

Dao Ancestor Ziyuan had told him before, that once the seven treasure gourds in the middle of the secret path were picked off by someone, the entire ancient secret path would disappear, and the sign of disappearing was that the space around the secret realm would begin to distort until it crumbled. At that time, all of the cultivators that had not left the secret realm would be expelled, and the everlasting dense forest would also disappear, and all of the cultivators that had been expelled would appear in the sky above the forest that everlasting dense forest was originally located in.

The moment the everlasting dense forest disappeared, the Great Divine Cultivator who had been lying in ambush at seven different locations in the forest would also head towards the skies of the forest to start a battle, and the reason why Yang Junshan chose to retreat safely would be because he would have to rush out of the secret passageway the instant before it disappeared. This way, he wouldn’t be expelled by the secret pathway and appear in the skies of the forest.

After leaving the last intersection, the secret passage had already become more and more illusory. Yang Junshan could even see the scene of things breaking into pieces beyond the secret passage from a distance. He could even see the disappearance of many heavenly and earthly treasures outside the secret passage due to the strange spatial ripples, which indicated that the entire everlasting dense forest was moving through space.

Yang Junshan suddenly stopped in his tracks, the path in front of him had already reached the end, and just as Yang Junshan was about to take a step forward, he saw a cultivator casually walking past the edge of the secret path, and that cultivator evidently did not notice that Yang Junshan, who was not far away from him.

The reason was that the cultivators that were lying in ambush outside the secret path had already left, otherwise, no one would easily reveal their own bodies, and the reason for that was because he was apprehensive was that the secret path could disappear at any time. If he did not have a good grasp of it, he would probably be expelled to the place where the everlasting dense forest was previously at, in the sky above the forest.

Seeing that the distortions in the surrounding space were getting more serious, Yang Junshan’s gaze was fixated on the cultivator, and the moment he grabbed hold of the flying sword and rushed out from the secret path.

Originally, outside of the Ancient Path, there was the everlasting dense forest, which was a land where heaven and earth treasures grew. However, because the everlasting dense forest began to shrink, the space here changed, and it returned to its original normal forest.

Yang Junshan’s spirit sense caught the change behind him, and when he turned around to look, there was no longer any sort of secret passage. The ancient secret passage, in the instant that Yang Junshan had left, had also disappeared.

Yang Junshan did not dare to be careless, he immediately spread out his Spiritual Sense, and his face changed as he dived into the ground.

Numerous rays of lights of different colors rushed towards him from different directions, and exploded at the spot where he was originally at, but Yang Junshan had already escaped into the air.

“Not good, this person knows the Earth Spirit Disappearing Technique. Stop him!”

“Too late, he already escaped!”

Three streaks of light came from different directions within the forest, surrounding the place where Yang Junshan was originally at. However, they did not expect that it would be easily dispelled by Yang Junshan’s Earth Escape Technique.

Two of the three people actually managed to reach Heavenly Dipper Realm, while the other one was at the peak of the Profound Constellation Realm. His strength was extraordinary, and under such circumstances, with no one who knew the ins and outs of him, Yang Junshan could only choose to escape at the first possible moment.

“Unfortunately, at first, I thought that my luck was good. However, I never thought that this fellow would be so alert. He actually managed to dodge in the nick of time!”

“This person was able to do what the rest of us did, grab the hidden path and get out of the way. He just happened to avoid the Daoist ancestors, so he must be an expert in formations as well.”

“Forget it, we’re just here to try our luck. Let’s just treat it as our bad luck when that person runs away!”

“Escaping technique. Heh, it’s actually the Escaping technique. I heard that there’s a spiritual technique called ‘finger turning into steel’ that can restrain the Escaping technique?”

“Although the Earth Escape Technique is known as the number one life-saving technique, not everyone can keep their lives. It’s just that very few people have successfully learned it in the cultivation world. No one would have thought that we would meet it.”

“Alright, we shouldn’t stay here for too long. This time, we brothers have obtained something from the everlasting dense forest, so we better leave after seeing the situation!”

“Alright, I’ll listen to boss, but where should we go next?”

I and the other two brothers have been wandering in the cultivation world for nearly a hundred years, but have never settled down. Now that we have successfully cultivated, we naturally have to build a business. I heard that after all these years, the cultivation world of the Yuzhou was surrounded and attacked by the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and we are extremely weak on the whole, so I think that with the strength of the three of us brothers, we can definitely open up a new world in the Yuzhou.

“Although what boss said makes sense, it’s just that Ling Yizong and I have a grudge. Yuzhou isn’t far from the Sangzhou, and I’m afraid Ling Yizong won’t be able to tolerate the three of us at that time.”

“It’s better than going into exile. I feel that boss’s suggestion isn’t bad.”

“Don’t worry, let’s go take a look first. Ling Yizong has been under a lot of pressure recently, so he might not have the time to bother with the three of us.”

In order to ensure his safety as much as possible, Yang Junshan simply borrowed the power of the Dao-seal Stone to escape dozens of kilometers underground in a single breath. Only then did he carefully dig himself out from underground.

The forest was still around him, but when Yang Junshan opened up his spirit sense, he heaved a sigh of relief, the place was very quiet, with no other cultivators around.

Even so, Yang Junshan did not dare to be careless. Although he was already hundreds of kilometers away from the place where the everlasting dense forest was originally at, he could still clearly feel the spatial fluctuations and spirit energy fluctuations that were faintly coming from extremely far away. Occasionally, there would even be the sound of muffled thunder from far away.

had followed Daofather Ziyuan all the way south, and it was obvious that he was currently located southwest of where the everlasting dense forest was originally at.

Each of the forty-nine secret paths had a spatial transformation at the junction point. The place Yang Junshan had exited from the secret pathway was obviously no longer the location where he had originally entered the secret realm.

If Yang Junshan wanted to rush to the agreed meeting location with Daofather Ziyuan, he would have to take a long detour around it. At the very least, he needed to avoid the numerous Great Divine Cultivator who were currently fighting a great battle in the air above the vast Scholartree Manor.

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then found a remote and hidden place to temporarily open up a cave, after setting up a concealment array around, he began to rest inside the cave.

On the trip to the everlasting dense forest, although Yang Junshan was eventually managed to get away with it, it was not as if he was completely unaffected by it. Simply based on the incident with Lu Xuanping’s possession, his dantian and spiritual sense were almost severely injured, as for Ling Yizong’s Luo Sai Dao, he almost stabbed himself to death. Although his damaged heart was healed after he cultivated the Heart Diagram and ate a Scarlet Fruit to replenish his lost spiritual force, it still lefidden danger.

Of course, what was even more important was that during this trip to the everlasting dense forest, his gains were equally plentiful, especially the storage treasures he obtained from Daoist Lu Xuanping, which made Yang Junshan’s heart itch even more.

A Treasured Tier Spirit Grass, the Six-Horned Flower, could be considered a rare treasure. It was said to be an essential ingredient in refining multiple pills and was extremely precious.

When everlasting dense forest opened it, normally, other than the treasures in the center of the secret pathway, most of the Adept Realm Cultivator s would gather spirit treasures rarely seen in the outside world. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures s would appear once every three hundred years, seven aime, while the everlasting dense forest itself would open it once every thirty years, and every time, a large amount of spirit herbs would appear, for cultivators to gather and gather. And every time the two would gather at the same time, the quantity and quality of the spirit plants that would appear outside the secret path would increase by a level, but the pity was that Yang Junshan himself did not have the chance to gather them.

The Scarlet Fruit was an excellent auxiliary object used by the Martial Realm Cultivator to help it break through the threshold of the realms of life, and the high-grade spirit treasure, the yellow-skinned bottle gourd, was itself a natural treasure. More importantly, these kind of treasures usually had an extremely high quality enhancement potential.

Not to mention the fact that the cultivation technique that Lu Xuanping cultivated, “Giant Stone Formula”, was alsather mysterious high-grade treasure inheritance.

Although these two inheritances were precious, to Yang Junshan, the combination of these two would not be any less than the black soil that could be used to hide the Primordial Spirit of Lu Xuanping. Yang Junshan had a feeling that the black soil wareasure that was even more precious than the Earth Core Origin Stone, and it was likely that its value was not inferior to the Seven Treasures Gourd in the everlasting dense forest.

Of course, the last one was also Daoist Lu Xuanping’s storage magic treasure.

Yang Junshan had heard a few things about overseas cultivators from Dao Ancestor Ziyuan. These kind of cultivators were mostly rogue cultivators who lived alone and rarely trusted others, with their own interests as the center, and these kind of people were always prepared to flee far away because they felt a sense of danger, thus, normally the most precious treasures would be brought along with them. This situation only increased the frequency of overseas cultivators killing and betraying each other, it was very simple, killing one would be able to take all of their wealth, this way very few people could be tempted.

There warimordial spirit mark on the storage treasure of a Daoist Realm cultivator. Even though the original owner of the treasure had already fallen, it still took Yang Junshan quite a bit of time and effort to open it, but when he forcefully opened it in the end, and even though a small portion of the treasure had disappeared in the midst of the collapsing space, but seeing the rest of the treasure piled high with what seemed like a cave dwelling, Yang Junshan was first taken aback, but then his gaze concentrated once again, staring at the very top of the pile with a look of disbelief.

What is this? A gourd? Azure?

How could the aura lingering on it be so familiar?

This was clearly the aura he had felt before at the center of the ancient secret path!

The Pure Spirit Gourd. This gourd was actually the Pure Spirit Gourd of the seventh treasure that was in the middle of the secret path since time immemorial!
