Recently, Yu Luo had been very busy, and she rarely returned to the Jade Forest Mountain. She had been handling some trivial matters of the Sect in the Main Mountain. Zi Mo was already in closed-door seclusion, and he did not have much lifespan left. If he did not make a breakthrough into a Demigod this time, he would most likely fall as a Nascent Soul cultivator. Most of the matters regarding Ancient Hill Sect had already been handed over to the various Mountain Lords and Yu Luo.
Only Zhu Yao and Yue Ying were left in Jade Forest Mountain. Zhu Yao was busy looking for Mu Meiyan, and would often head out as well. Only Yue Ying remained in Jade Forest Mountain. Yue Ying was a child with an extremely low presence, adding that he did not speak often, if not for the fact that he liked to follow by her side occasionally, Zhu Yao would have subconsciously ignored him. He was very serious in his cultivation. This could be seen from the fact that he was able to form his Gold Core so quickly even though he had five spiritual roots.
Zhu Yao could not help but feel a little guilty towards him. Back then, she made the decision to bring him out on her own. However, after so many years, he was basically left to fend for himself. Even the matters regarding cultivation were taught by Yu Luo, and she basically had never interfered.
Turning her head, she looked at Yue Ying who was staring at her with a wooden expression. His eyes were clear, and other than her figure, there was nothing else, let alone resentment. It seemed that just looking at her like this was enough.
Zhu Yao felt that she had neglected her duties even more. Taking advantage of the rare free time today, she wanted to give him some pointers on his cultivation. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the ground shake. A pillar of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the calm sea, shooting straight into the clouds. Auspicious signs appeared everywhere, seven-colored auspicious light scattered down, and the sky was filled with seven-colored auspicious clouds. Hundreds of flowers bloomed in Ancient Hill Sect, and in an instant, the fragrance of flowers filled the air.
"This is …" What the hell is this?
"A unique treasure has appeared in the sea." Feng Yi flew over with her sword, and indicated for her to follow, before flying towards the pillar of light.
Zhu Yao could faintly sense that things weren't as simple as they seemed. "Obediently wait here for my return."
After instructing | Yue Yin. He also chased after them on his sword. In less than a moment, he had already flown close to the pillar of light. They were not the first to arrive. There were already a few people surrounding them, however, they were all Demigod Sovereigns from other sects, and Qi Han was there as well. They had probably sensed the commotion here and rushed over.
The pillar of light was enormous. The diameter of the cloud was about ten meters, and it seemed to be made up of spiritual energy. It was so dense that it seemed like it was about to condense into a solid form. No one moved, only watching closely. However, more and more people came to watch. Almost all of them were yuanying xiuzhe. A rare treasure had appeared. For Heaven and Earth to produce an anomaly, and for this anomaly to be so obvious, it was apparent just how valuable the treasure inside was. It was highly likely an Immortal artefact.
After a long while, within the pillar of light. Suddenly, something long rose up. Everyone held their breath and waited. However, he could not help but start to size up the people around him. An ownerless treasure naturally belonged to whoever snatched it. There had never been absolute peace in the World of Cultivators, let alone in the face of benefits. The atmosphere was a little tense.
A few days ago, due to the appearance of the Devil race in the world, it created a scene of unity against outsiders, and it instantly showed signs of collapsing. Zhu Yao suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.
The pillar of light slowly faded away. Surprisingly, it was not an immortal pill or an Immortal artifact. Rather, it was a massive door. Its entire body was pure white, and its style was extremely simple and unadorned.
And at the very top of the door, there were red words as tall as a person — Bai Mian Immortal Residence.
"It's actually the residence of a Deity from the Higher Realm!" Someone exclaimed. In an instant, the entire crowd became excited. That was a Divine Residence, a residence of a person who had already ascended to become a Deity. Any random item inside was a Divine Artifact that the Lower Realm could only dream of.
Earlier, because there were Demigods present, the people who felt that they had no hope of obtaining the treasure were all excited. To be able to be called a Deity, how could there only be a single Divine Artifact in the residence? How could there only be one immortal artifact in the mansion? As long as he could enter, there would be hope. Many people had already unconsciously summoned their weapons, as though they were prepared to fight at any moment.
"Sovereign, do you think this Divine Residence has anything to do with that Devil?" In the end, there was still someone who understood, and this person was someone she was familiar with. Beast-Taming Mountain's Mountain Lord, Zi Dan. That's right, it was that pig-riding fatty.
His fat body squeezed forward, and the man and the pig instantly knocked away a few people. He rushed in front of her, and asked with utmost respect.
"It's possible." Zhu Yao replied ambiguously.
In an instant, the people who were eager to give it a try earlier, all calmed down a little, as they looked at that door a little fearfully.
How could there be such a coincidence? The moment the Devil appeared, a Divine Residence of the Higher Realm appeared. It was indeed something that would cause people to investigate deeply.
"Whether there's any connection or not, we will know once we barge in." Someone shouted out, and suddenly, a gigantic icicle struck towards the white door. However, the moment it struck the door, it suddenly disappeared, as though it was swallowed by something.
Before the crowd could even react, a ripple of light flashed on the door, and the icicle that had suddenly disappeared once again flew out. This time, it struck towards the direction where the icicle was shot out from earlier.
A Nascent Soul practitioner was unable to dodge in time, and was struck head-on. If he had not erected a barrier in time, he would have been penetrated by the icicle.
"This door, can reflect Mystic Arts."
Everyone was stunned. They began to send out a few probing attacks, but without exception, they were all reflected back to where they came from. Even a Demigod Sovereign had made his move, yet, the door still did not show any signs of opening.
"Strange, there clearly aren't any ripples from a formation, why?" The people present could not help but scratch their hearts. Clearly, the treasure was right in front of them, yet, they could not find the key to open the door.
"There seems to be some characters on the door." Someone reminded, and only then did the crowd's attacks stop. One after another, they moved forward to take a look, yet, they were all confused.
Many grids faintly appeared on the door, and a few random grids had a few characters written on them. And, those characters, were all simple numbers. Zhu Yao's face instantly stiffened, as she instantly felt the evil intentions of the entire world.
"This, this, this … This is!" Though, Zi Dan at the side had a shocked expression, and even Feng Yi widened her eyes.
"Fellow daoist Zi Dan, do you recognize what this is?" Someone excitedly asked.
"This is an ancient mechanism formation." Zi Dan exposed the truth in a single sentence.
Zhu Yao's expression darkened even more. That's right, an ancient mechanism formation – Diagram of Nine Palaces, right? Do you dare to take a look at it?
"Fellow daoist, you recognize this formation!" That person continued to excitedly say. "Then, is it possible to dispel it?"
Zi Dan shook his head, and deeply sighed. As though he had recalled a sad past, his entire being sank a little.
"Fellow daoist Zi Dan, you really don't know how to dispel it?" That person thought that he was unwilling, and still persistently persuaded. "This matter is of great importance. That Devil might very well be hiding inside."
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but I simply don't have the strength to do so." Zi Dan said. "This ancient mechanism formation technique is extremely complicated, and has long been lost. I have only seen junior-martial brother Jiang dispel it."
Junior-martial brother Jiang Zhu Yao: Complicated your sister! Her emotions were very complicated.
"I wonder where fellow daoist's junior-martial brother surnamed Jiang is? Is it possible to call him out for a meeting? "
The sorrowful aura on Zi Dan's body grew even more obvious. A moment later, he choked a little, and said. "That junior-martial brother of mine had already fallen a thousand years ago."
That person sank into silence, and a moment later, he let out a deep sigh.
Even Feng Yi at the side seemed to have recalled a sad past, as her face was filled with confusion. A moment later, she muttered to herself. "Jiang Zhu."
Zhu Yao simply felt her legs buckling, and she had almost fallen into the sea. Version 3.0 was definitely her dark history.
"Could it be that there's really no one who can dispel this formation?" In an instant, the entire place quietened down, revealing a helpless look.
"Umm …" Zhu Yao weakly raised her hand. "Why don't, I give it a try."
In an instant, dozens of gazes instantly gathered onto her body.
Even Feng Yi and Zi Dan's eyes instantly shone.
"You know how to dispel this!" Feng Yi suddenly took a step forward, and looked straight at her. Various emotions were flashing in her eyes, as though something was about to be ignited. "You …"
"My master had once taught me." Zhu Yao gave out an all-purpose excuse.
As expected, the light in Feng Yi's eyes instantly extinguished. However, the others revealed looks of understanding one after another.
Sovereign Yu Yan was someone who had already ascended. He had lived for several tens of thousands of years, and his strength was unfathomable. Furthermore, he was proficient in formations, so it was very normal for him to know ancient mechanisms like these.
The crowd that was still squeezing together earlier, immediately opened up a path, as they excitedly watched Zhu Yao dispel the formation.
Over a hundred Nascent Soul and Demigod practitioners were staring at her as she played with the Nine Palace Diagram. This scene was too beautiful, and they did not dare to look at it.
Zhu Yao awkwardly walked over, and began to add and subtract numbers within ten digits. Right now, she deeply regretted not teaching this Nine Palace Diagram to Feng Yi in time back then. This basically wasn't anything difficult, yet, she was being stared at with such worshipful eyes. She felt a mountain of pressure, you know?
This Nine Palace Diagram was no different from the ones she had dispelled in the past, just that it was a little more complicated. However, no matter how complicated it was, it was merely a matter of half an hour. Zhu Yao looked a little hesitantly at the final grid. For a moment, she was a little uncertain if she should open this door.
The appearance of this Divine Residence was indeed very strange. In the vicinity of this sea region, other than Ancient Hill Sect, there were several other Deity Sects as well. If a Divine Residence was hidden here, logically speaking, after so many years, someone should have discovered it. Why did it not appear for so long, and suddenly appear now?
Was that Devil really hiding inside? The Devil Race was a product of the Ancient Era as well, so it was very normal for them to know this Nine Palace Diagram. However, with the methods of the Devil Race, since they had already laid down the Nine Palace Diagram to prevent others from entering, why did they still allow the Divine Residence to appear? Wasn't this just looking for a beating?
"Sovereign?" Seeing that she had suddenly stopped moving, someone at the side anxiously reminded.
Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. Forget it, I'll deal with it when it comes. If I don't go in and take a look, I won't know the result either. Hence, she cast an art, and wrote down the formation runes on the final grid.
Zhu Yao immediately retreated a few steps, only to see the entire white door suddenly emit out a red glow. The door that was still snow-white earlier, in a moment, was already completely covered by the red glow. In the middle of the tightly shut door, a different kind of green light appeared, and then, it slowly opened.
The door opened wider, and not even a moment later, it had opened to the point where it could allow a person to enter.
Suddenly, a ray of black light fiercely rose from the surface of the sea, and surged straight into the door. It carried a familiar, mournful howl that sounded like millions of malicious spirits. For a moment, everyone was caught off guard, and their minds trembled, puking out fresh blood. The sky instantly darkened.
"De … Devil …"
There were even quite a few whose Nascent Souls were almost shaken out.
