Each of the energy swords accurately blocked an energy thread.
Countless energy swords hovered in the air as though they were stuck in a spider's web.
The scene froze.
Yu Shangrong looked up.
The energy threads connecting the stone forest were still there. They had not disappeared.
"There aren't enough."
He could only increase his Primal Qi to increase his control.
He could only control one or two energy swords at a time in the Mystic Enlightening realm. With each realm he advanced, he would be able to control more energy swords. In the Nascent Divinity realm, he would be able to produce thousands of energy swords with his weapon.
However, humans had their limits, after all.
There was an energy thread between the 361 stone pillars.
Yu Shangrong had to form more than 60,000 energy swords to block all the energy threads.
Crack!
The energy swords vanished.
He was still far from enough.
Yu Shangrong landed.
At this moment, the stone slabs in the center of the stone forest shone with a faint light. Under the sunlight, the Formation veins were inconspicuous. If he were outside the stone forest, he would not be able to see it.
Soon after, the 361 stone pillars began to tremble.
Then, the veins on the stone slabs buzzed.
A unique force of attraction appeared.
"Vitality?"
Yu Shangrong looked around. His gaze fell on the flying beast that had accidentally barged into the stone forest. Shortly after, the flying beast stopped struggling and fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Absorbing vitality?"
He tapped his acupoints and withdrew his vitality into his dantian's sea of Qi and Extraordinary Eight Meridians. He had a short life to begin with. Even though he had reached the Nine-leaf stage, his lifespan was pitifully limited. Without the Golden Lotus, he could not replenish his vitality.
Even so …
The peculiar Formation in the stone forest reminded him of Jiang Xiaosheng's words before he left. As expected, this Formation could absorb a person's life!
In just a short while, the flying beast was shriveled and lifeless.
Yu Shangrong no longer cultivated. Instead, he tried his best to fight against the attraction. Even so, the vitality in his body was slowly rising like smoke from a kitchen chimney.
"Ji Liang, get out," Yu Shangrong said softly.
Ji Liang did not obey his order.
Instead, it did something that shocked Yu Shangrong.
Ji Liang stepped into the air and circled around Yu Shangrong.
Dressed in silk garments, with eyes like gold, his name was Ji Liang, and he could live for a thousand years.
Ji Liang's eyes shone with a faint golden light. A wave of vitality floated out and enveloped Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong was shocked.
He suddenly thought of his master's other mount, Bai Ze. When it released its ability, there would be an auspicious rain. Anyone who stayed in the rain would have their injuries and vitality restored.
Ji Liang's ability was to replenish lifespan?!
It was as if all of this was predestined … to live a short life, to be born in the morning and to die in the evening.
No one knew how long it lasted.
Not only did Yu Shangrong not feel his vitality being sucked away, but with Ji Liang's protection and replenishment, his vitality seemed to have increased.
Even if it was only a hundred years, it would still be enough to surprise them.
The light of the formation pattern disappeared.
The trembling in the stone forest also stopped, and everything became quiet.
Yu Shangrong stood up and looked at Ji Liang.
Whoosh —
Before Yu Shangrong could react, Ji Liang rose into the air and flew up.
Bang! The Heavenly Net stopped it.
"You're going back?"
Huff. Ji Liang nodded.
Yu Shangrong patted the horse's back and smiled faintly. "Give me some time. If I can't break this Formation, I won't use my sword anymore."
He looked at the stone forest around him.
Before that, he had to recover his cultivation base.
Time was of the essence. Yu Shangrong immediately sat down with his legs crossed and placed his palms on top of each other. The Longevity Sword flew around him as though it was patrolling.
Ji Liang followed the broken sword and galloped around him.
Yu Shangrong did not know if it was bored or if it wanted to go out.
…
Cloud Mountain.
Lu Zhou who was cultivating with his eyes closed was immersed in the silence.
The scripts of the Heavenly Writing scrolls spun in his mind.
The golden runes became clearer and clearer.
He could clearly feel the changes in his extraordinary power.
Something stirred in Lu Zhou. 'Is the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll working?'
Ever since he used the Open Heavenly Writing scroll, he had not been able to activate another power.
Lu Zhou was puzzled by this sudden change in events.
The scripts of the Heavenly Writing scrolls had changed from scribbles to comprehensible scripts. In just a blink of an eye, the scripts formed a sentence.
'All living beings in the ten directions, life and death, good and evil, blessings and sins, are all seen clearly …'
This mantra was the same one he had when he first comprehended the Human Scroll. As expected, it appeared one by one as he continued to comprehend it. Dense Heavenly Writing scripts surrounded the mantra. He could not understand a single one of them.
Lu Zhou's extraordinary power was in a state of overflowing.
Hence, he began to recite the mantra.
"All living beings in the ten directions, all living beings …"
His eyes shone with a blue radiance.
His thoughts were reflected in his eyes.
With his eyes closed, he saw Yu Zhenghai on the cloud platform with his palms joined together. The Jasper Saber hovered before him.
In just a breath, half of his extraordinary power was gone!
Lu Zhou hastily stopped the Heavenly Writing power.
"Uh …"
He did not know if he was shocked or delighted.
With such a power, would he not be able to spy on others as he pleased?
Would it not be awkward if he accidentally saw someone bathing?
He shook his head.
'Why do I keep letting my imagination run wild?'
He had wasted half of his extraordinary power in just a breath's time. This expenditure was truly painful.
It was a huge loss to waste a trump card that could fight a Ten-leaf cultivator on a brief spying session.
In hindsight, this power was rather useless.
Lu Zhou called up the dashboard.
Merit points: 117440
Remaining life: 219740 days
Mounts: Whitzard, Bi An, Ji Liang (resting …), Qiong Qi, Dang Kang.
"Ji Liang? Resting? "Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Whitzard would only enter a resting state after unleashing its power. Did Ji Liang activate its power?
Lu Zhou sighed softly.
Although the power was useless, it was not impossible to use it when he did not need his extraordinary power.
Moreover, with the Violet Glazed Ceramic, his recovery speed was fast.
Lu Zhou recited the mantra again.
His eyes shone with a faint blue light.
His extraordinary power surged out.
In the stone forest, Ji Liang collided with the energy strings and chased after the broken sword. Yu Shangrong sat cross-legged on the ground.
When Lu Zhou saw the broken sword, something stirred in his heart. He immediately shouted, "Ji Liang, protect him."
Ji Liang that had been chasing after the broken sword immediately stopped.
It raised its front hooves and looked up at the sky before it neighed.
Neigh!
Then, it obediently ran to Yu Shangrong's side and lay down, obeying the order.
Yu Shangrong opened his eyes and looked at Ji Liang curiously. It had been running around madly earlier, but it had suddenly become obedient.
Ji Liang lay on the ground and soon fell asleep.
…
Lu Zhou opened his eyes.
"Men."
A Cloud Mountain disciple outside the door bowed and said, "Your orders, Senior Lu?"
"Summon Yu Zhenghai."
"Understood."
Shortly after, Yu Zhenghai arrived.
"Master, you called for me?"
"Your Second Junior Brother is in trouble. He shouldn't be far from Cloud Mountain. I don't know his exact location. Go and help him. Remember, if you encounter a powerful enemy, don't get drawn into a fight. Your mission is to find your Second Junior Brother, "Lu Zhou said.
Yu Zhenghai appeared shocked when he heard this. However, he did not ask any questions. He immediately said, "Understood. I'll go look for him right away." “
