The unusual movements in the Evil Sky Pavilion caught everyone's attention.
Hua Wudao, Duanmu Sheng, Zhou Jifeng, Zhao Yue, Little Yuan 'er, and the female disciples of the Derived Moon Palace arrived outside the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Even Fan Xiuwen, who was recuperating from his injuries, dragged himself out of his room with great difficulty. He looked at the Evil Sky Pavilion in the distance.
Although Fan Xiuwen was knowledgeable, he was still shocked and puzzled when he saw the huge vortex above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Frowning, he murmured, "Could it be … that the old devil intends to absorb the power of the barrier to forcibly maintain his cultivation?"
From his point of view.
The energy of Golden Court Mountain's barrier was gathering above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
"Array Core?"
Fan Xiuwen recognized it.
The vortex at the top of the Evil Sky Pavilion was the eye of the Golden Court Mountain's barrier.
It could control the entire barrier of Golden Court Mountain.
When some cultivators were setting up formations, they would hide the formation eye in a corner that was hard to find to prevent others from discovering its weakness.
Similarly, the eye of the formation was also the place where energy was injected into the formation to repair it.
The terrain of Golden Court Mountain was excellent. The fact that such a Grand Formation could form a powerful barrier was enough to deter the ten great sects of the Noble Path. However, they did not expect the eye of the Formation to be right above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
But now —
The energy was being absorbed. What was going on?
This was to weaken Golden Court Mountain's barrier! Weakening the defensive power!
Formations were especially important to a holy land for cultivation.
For example, the Righteous Sect was clearly very weak, but they had managed to survive because they had an excellent place like the Green Jade Altar.
The formations of Yun Sect's eight altars were also cultivation holy lands to defend against external enemies.
Fan Xiuwen did not understand what the Evil Sky Pavilion was doing.
If this went on, once the barrier disappeared, the Noble Path would join forces and attack again. How was the Evil Sky Pavilion going to defend itself?
Hum —
The vibration caused by the vortex was getting stronger and stronger.
Fan Xiuwen decided to take a look.
Currently, the Evil Sky Pavilion was the only place he could stay. If something were to happen to the Evil Sky Pavilion, he would have nowhere to go.
Fan Xiuwen endured the pain as he made his way to the Evil Sky Pavilion with great difficulty.
Not long after.
Fan Xiuwen approached the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Hmm?
Why was there an old beggar?
When Fan Xiuwen saw the old beggar, he sized him up and asked, "Who are you?"
The old beggar lay on the ground facing the Evil Sky Pavilion with his back to Fan Xiuwen. When he heard the commotion behind him, he turned around lazily and looked at the source of the commotion.
Pan Litian was shocked by Fan Xiuwen's facial features. Fan Xiuwen's face was already disfigured, and he was not wearing a mask. It was only natural that he looked frightening.
"I'd like some wine … It's good wine … Do you want a sip?" Pan Litian picked up his wine gourd.
Pan Litian did not continue toward the Evil Sky Pavilion.
From here, one could basically see the whole picture.
"You haven't answered my question." Fan Xiuwen's voice was very deep.
He was not as gullible as Little Yuan 'er.
Since he was in the Evil Sky Pavilion, how could he be an ordinary person?
Pan Litian chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am … You seem to be gravely injured."
"It's none of your business."
"This old man has traveled far and wide and has seen countless people … Young man, don't be so rash." The old beggar acted like an elder.
Fan Xiuwen furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "Did you just call me a young man?"
"Hm?" Pan Litian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fan Xiuwen.
Fan Xiuwen burst into laughter and said, "Little junior, you have eyes but failed to see. I won't bicker with you."
"This old man will not bicker with you."
The two of them exchanged a look. They minded their own business and looked at the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Time is a butcher's knife.
Both of them were killed until their appearances were changed. Neither of them could recognize the other.
Although the old beggar seemed to have a rotten life and was extremely ordinary. However, Fan Xiuwen did not underestimate him.
It was still gathering above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The disciples who were watching from nearby were puzzled.
"Elder Hua, you're knowledgeable. What's going on?" Duanmu Sheng pointed at the top of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Hua Wudao frowned and said, "Something's wrong with the eye of the formation!"
Duanmu Sheng said, "Ever since the Righteous Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect came to cause trouble, master has restored the eye of the Formation on his own … Logically speaking, nothing should have happened to him!"
Speaking of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Zhou Jifeng, who was standing at the side, blushed. He was there when Lu Zhou repaired the Formation.
Little Yuan 'er, on the other hand, was not too worried. She said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Even if the Formation is gone, the people from the righteous path won't dare to come here!"
That being said.
However, everyone was still worried.
Zhao Yue said, "Master is still in seclusion … We can't go on like this."
Duanmu Sheng sighed and said, "It's a pity that Old Fourth isn't here. Otherwise, I'd ask him to think of something."
Although Mingshi Yin was smart, he was quite adept at coming up with an idea in an emergency.
Just as everyone was discussing, the vortex in the sky grew larger and larger.
The barrier vibrated!
This meant that the energy of the barrier was further absorbed by the vortex.
"What happened?"
Hua Wudao said, "We can't go on like this! We must report this matter to the Pavilion Master. "
Everyone nodded.
Hua Wudao was the oldest among them. He was the first to walk toward the great hall.
The others followed closely behind.
He passed through the dark corridor and entered the Evil Sky Pavilion. Then, he arrived outside the hidden chamber.
The surroundings of the secret room were sealed off, which could reduce most of the sound. Here, the vibration of the barrier was basically inaudible.
Everyone bowed in unison.
"Pavilion Master."
"Master."
Hua Wudao bowed. The hidden chamber was silent. Nothing was heard.
The others exchanged a look.
"Master?" Duanmu Sheng tried again.
Alas, there was no reply.
Hua Wudao walked toward the hidden chamber's door. He projected his voice and said, "Hua Wudao requests an audience."
With Primal Qi voice transmission, even through the stone door, anyone inside would be able to hear him.
However …
There was still no reply from the hidden chamber.
"Is master not in there?"
"If he's not in the hidden chamber, where would he be? There are people patrolling the four pavilions in the north, south, east, and west every day. Moreover, there's no need for master to sneak around, "Duanmu Sheng said.
Hua Wudao said calmly, "Don't be hasty. Let me sense him."
When a cultivator reached a certain realm, they would be able to sense the presence of a living being in their surroundings with their full power.
Unless the target's cultivation base was far greater than the cultivator's and they could conceal their aura …
However, Hua Wudao was a Seven-leaf expert. He was the most suitable person to sense. Moreover, there was no need for their master to conceal his aura.
Hence …
Hua Wudao raised his palm and placed it on the stone door.
Primal Qi surged.
At such a close distance, he could tell if there was anyone inside.
Hua Wudao closed his eyes. His ears twitched slightly.
His Primal Qi entered the hidden chamber.
It was quiet and warm inside. It was as though there was no one inside.
Hua Wudao continued to sense.
At this moment, he sensed a powerful surge of energy that was shrinking rapidly.
It formed a funnel above the hidden chamber and continued to converge downward.
Hua Wudao opened his eyes and retracted his palm.
"Elder Hua, what's the situation?" Duanmu Sheng asked anxiously.
"The pavilion master … might have suffered from qi deviation!"
'Suffered from qi deviation?!'
The others were shocked.
Cultivators usually cultivated in seclusion to achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation bases. They wanted to reach a higher level of attainment on the cultivation path.
In the cultivation world, there were too many people who had suffered from qi deviation.
The 'deviation' here did not refer to the deviation of the Fiend Path. Instead, it was a deviation in one's cultivation base or cultivation method. One's meridians, dantian, and sea of Qi would be damaged. In the best case scenario, one would be paralyzed. In the worst case scenario, one would lose their cultivation base and die!
"How's that possible? Elder Hua … Don't talk nonsense! "Little Yuan 'er said in disbelief.
Hua Wudao said solemnly, "The aura and Primal Qi inside are extremely chaotic … I can sense the energy on the barrier passing through the Formation's eye and converging in the hidden chamber! If you don't believe me, you'll see for yourself! "
After all, it was too obvious what was going on inside.
Duanmu Sheng was the first to walk up. He probed the room and found it was just as Hua Wudao said. The Primal Qi inside was extremely chaotic. This was indeed a sign of qi deviation!
"Third Senior Brother, think of something! We can't go on like this! "Zhao Yue was anxious as well.
Duanmu Sheng scratched his head. He looked at the stone door, but he could not see anything. He could only shake his head.
Hua Wudao sighed and said, "There are two ways."
"What are they?"
"First, we can break into the hidden chamber by force and work together to stabilize the chaotic Primal Qi. However, the chaotic Primal Qi will cause a backlash, and we'll have to bear the brunt of it. The second way is to wait. Those who suffer from qi deviation might have a chance to forcefully reverse their cultivation and achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation base. However, the chances of that happening are very low."
There were two options.
Little Yuan 'er was the first to speak up.
"What are we waiting for, then? Let's break into the hidden chamber! Third Senior Brother … Quick! "
Hua Wudao nodded and said, "In that case, we'll go with the first option. Those whose cultivation bases are below the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm should leave at once!"
Hua Wudao had already made up his mind when he thought of the two options.
Duanmu Sheng chimed in, "I agree."
The female disciples' cultivation bases were lower. They turned around and left. They would only be a burden if they stayed.
However, Zhao Yue did not leave. Instead, she said, "I'll stay."
They knew very well that if anything happened to their master, the Evil Sky Pavilion would face a true calamity.
Whether it was from their personal or the Evil Sky Pavilion's perspective, they had to make this decision.
Just as the group of female disciples left, the trembling sounds from outside finally came in.
This meant the energy fluctuations of the barrier were more intense than before.
Fan Xiuwen and Pan Litian watched on quietly.
It was as though they were not involved in the matter.
Fan Xiuwen seemed to have made a new discovery as he looked at the Primal Qi gathering. He said disapprovingly, "Looks like you haven't given up on your pursuit of eternal life after all these years …"
Pan Litian glanced at him and said, "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the unchanging truths of life … Some people just want to break these truths. What's the point of doing that …"
"Old geezer, if you're so open-minded, why don't you just jump down from here and die?" Fan Xiuwen pointed at a nearby cliff.
"Young man, don't stoop to my level. I don't have many years left to live. You, on the other hand, are still young, and you have a long way to go. When you're my age, you'll know everything you need to know," Pan Litian said in a tone that was filled with seniority.
Fan Xiuwen's voice was hoarse as he said disdainfully, "I'm afraid you'll still be in your mother's womb when I'm dominating the lands, old geezer."
