"In other words, including the sect master, the Vital Energy Sect has a total of three great cultivators?" Lu Sheng asked.
"… That's the case on the surface. Ordinary people only know that the seven Peak Masters are Nascent Soul cultivators. However, only cultivators of the same tier like us have heard of them and know a little about the Vital Energy Sect. Most importantly, the Vital Energy Sect has a connection with the Higher Realm, "Liu 'er continued.
"Higher Realm?" Lu Sheng suddenly slowed down. His eyes were filled with doubt.
"Yes. The Higher Realm is what we call the Immortal World. However, the connection is very faint. In the past thousand years, the barrier between the Mortal World and the Immortal World has grown stronger. Even great cultivators find it difficult to break through the barrier. They must rely on external forces or join forces," Liu 'er explained solemnly. "In the world today, there are only two sects that have a connection with the Higher Realm. One is the Vital Energy Sect, and the other is the Devil Path …"
"Interesting." Lu Sheng had thought that this journey would be a one-sided slaughter without any suspense. He did not expect to encounter so many interesting things at the end.
He was too powerful.
After becoming a Late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator, his supernatural power was close to ten thousand times that of ordinary great cultivators!
What did this mean?
There were not even ten thousand great cultivators in the Mortal World. Even a thousand or a hundred was impossible, let alone ten thousand. Great cultivators were not cabbages. They were peak experts equivalent to a Divine Lord or a Divine Intellect.
The Vital Energy Sect was already considered the greatest sect, but they only had a few great cultivators. As for the other sects, as long as they had a single great cultivator, they would be the undisputed overlord in the central plains. They would monopolize a portion of the resources.
"In the world today, those who can be mentioned in the same breath as the sect master are the Vital Energy Sect's sect master, and the Devil Path's Earth King Hall's mysterious hall master. These two were fully deserving of being top-notch existences. In the great war between the Righteous Path and Devil Path, the Ancient Devils descended on a large scale. It was the Vital Energy Sect's sect master who shut down the Ten Thousand Devils Gate, causing the Earth King Hall's master's efforts to fall short, "Liu 'er explained.
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng smiled. He did not deny it. He was the current master of the four seas. His supernatural power was overwhelming, and he was unparalleled. He did not know if there was anyone who could be mentioned in the same breath as him.
He believed that even a Nascent Divinity elite with a tier above him would not be more powerful than him.
"This time, we're here to demand an explanation from the Vital Energy Sect. Back then, when we laid out our plan and established our power, the Vital Energy Sect forced me to flee overseas. Hence, I'm here to demand compensation from them. I want an explanation," said Lu Sheng calmly.
Liu 'er hesitated. She did not know what extent Lu Sheng wanted to go. "However, Sect Master, isn't it inappropriate for the two of us to come to the Vital Energy Sect's main branch, the Swaying Gold Mountain?"
"Sect," Liu 'er Sect, "Sect, Sect," Liu said, Liu' Sect, "Sect Sect, Sect, of Star.
Liu 'er nodded and no longer questioned him. In her heart, Lu Sheng had always been a person who did things with a clear mind.
"If …" She paused for a moment. "If we really want to use the Swaying Gold Mountain as our target, we must first break through the Swaying Gold Mountain's Cyclone Nine Cauldrons Formation. This is a mountain-protecting formation that is similar to a maze formation. However, in reality, this formation has already surpassed the limits of the entire human realm. It is said that it is a top-notch formation bestowed by the Immortals of the Upper Realm. It can even involve mysterious space-time techniques."
"After we break through the formation, we'll have to face the Twelve Goldwater Laws. These are the unique tricks laid down by the Vital Energy Sect's seven Peak Masters. I was fortunate enough to see someone break into the mountain once … "Liu 'er shook her head slightly. She still felt some lingering fear in her heart.
"In other words, even with my current strength, you still have some doubts about whether I can pass these 12 methods?" Lu Sheng asked with a raised eyebrow.
"That is indeed the case. Sect leader is naturally strong enough. However, those twelve techniques are also sufficiently powerful. Both of them are at a level that I cannot touch. Hence … Liu 'er is unable to determine the victor …" Liu' er sincerely replied.
"It's alright. What happens after that?" Lu Sheng smiled.
"After that, it'll be the Seven Great Peaks. Each of the Seven Great Peaks is an independent existence. Due to the formation, if we want to reach the Hall of Fame at the highest point, we'll have to pass through the base of each peak one by one until the end. I'm not sure about the rest. "At this point, Liu 'er paused.
"It's alright. I'll find out after I try it myself." Lu Sheng suddenly stopped and looked ahead.
The slope of the forest before them was increasing. It was already as steep as climbing a mountain. Unbeknownst to them, the forest was already filled with white mist.
The mist churned and surged. Something seemed to be approaching them slowly.
"I didn't know you were coming, True Lord Fu Hai. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you." A blurry Taoist formed of white mist walked out of the mist slowly. He bowed toward Lu Sheng and Liu 'er from afar.
"I'm Lu Shan. I'm the Hall Master of the Bright Sword Hall under the Vital Energy Sect's First Peak."
Lu Sheng studied the thick white mist carefully. 'This must be the Cyclone Nine Cauldron Cauldron Formation that's already been activated, right?'
"Since you already know, Sect Master, why bother asking for trouble? Ever since the Cyclone Nine Cauldron Cauldron Formation was activated, it hasn't been broken for several hundred years. Even if you've broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and become a True Lord, you won't be able to bypass this formation, "Taoist Lu Shan said with a smile.
Lu Sheng did not even look at this person. Instead, he carefully sensed the flow of Spiritual Qi in the entire formation. A Divine Lord's spirit possessed a unique Heavenly Devil's deceptive ability. This deceptive ability was known by the Heavenly Devils as the ability to distort reality. This was a terrifying ability that could even deceive nature itself. It was not something that this simple formation could isolate.
In just a short while, Lu Sheng's spirit had already discovered the crucial point of the Cyclone Nine Cauldron Cauldron Formation.
"I've come this time to seek an explanation for being forced by the elites of your sect to flee overseas several decades ago. I'd like to invite the person in charge of your sect to come out and have a chat with me. "He was not in a hurry to make things difficult for Lu Sheng. Instead, he gave him a natural and gentle reminder.
"There's no need for that. Our sect's elders and Peak Masters are all cultivating in seclusion. If there's nothing else, Sect Master, please take your leave to avoid harming our relationship in the future," Taoist Lu Shan said with a hint of threat in his words.
"How dare you!" Liu 'er suddenly attacked from the side. She raised her hand, and a crimson light shot out. However, strangely, the light had only flown ten meters when it suddenly disappeared in midair.
Liu 'er's face turned pale. She immediately felt that the crimson light she released was out of her control. It was as if a piece of flesh had been forcefully sliced off from her body.
"Nascent Soul True Lord? You must be Mount Qi's mountain chief, Senior Liu, right? Rumor has it that Mount Qi and the overseas Four Seas Sect have formed an alliance. Now, it looks like it's true, "Taoist Lu Shan said in surprise.
"However, Senior Liu, you shouldn't waste your energy. This Cyclone Nine Cauldron Cauldron Formation covers an extremely wide area. It covers the entire mountain encampment. There are twenty-one sets of formations of various sizes embedded within it. There are even a few that no one can decipher. Even if a few more Godly Lords come, they won't be able to open this mountain-guarding formation, much less just two seniors. "
"Shameless boasting." Liu 'er wanted to show off. She waved her hand and scattered a handful of faint yellow dots. They were a large handful of unknown, tiny seeds.
The handful of seeds flew out and instantly scattered in all directions within the fog. They seemed to be intelligent objects.
"Pcchht!"
The faint yellow seeds suddenly grew. They split apart in midair and split open. Emerald green leaves grew out of them. Then, they bloomed, withered, and scattered …
In a short moment, all the seeds seemed to have experienced the entire life of a plant. However, during this process, the surrounding fog seemed to be swallowed by the seeds at lightning speed, as if they were swallowed by a whale.
For a time, all the fog within a circumference of several tens of thousands of meters was rapidly being consumed and absorbed by the seeds. The surrounding formation mainly relied on the fog. At this moment, it was as if an opening had been made.
"Mountain Chieftain, don't you know that the Swaying Gold Mountain has encountered the most Arts that can decipher fog?" the misty Taoist said with a smile. He still stood where he was without moving. He allowed the seeds to absorb him. However, his voice could still be heard from midair.
Liu 'er's expression was sour. Initially, she thought that although she could not decipher the great formation, she could at least break one or two of these small formations. She did not expect that she could not even decipher the first small formation. She had embarrassed herself greatly in front of the sect master.
"You …" Murderous intent flashed through her deep black eyes. Her lily-white hand pressed lightly on the black crystal pendant on her chest. She was about to pull it off.
…..
"What do all of you think?" Inside the Fame Hall, the Vital Energy Sect's sect master and the few Peak Masters who had stayed behind to discuss matters had long since noticed the intruding Lu Sheng and Sima Zhun.
"The Four Seas Sect's sect master is quite powerful. Although he's only broken through to the Nascent Soul tier, he should've cultivated some sort of secret art to conceal his aura. As for Mount Qi's mountain chieftain … "Sima Zhun shook his head slightly. He smiled but said nothing.
The others understood what he meant. A great demon like Mount Qi's mountain chieftain who only relied on his instincts to survive was not considered a fellow cultivator in their eyes. In fact, they did not even consider calling him a True Lord.
"It's a pity that we didn't take this man's fate into account when we set up the trap. He's merely an Early-stage Nascent Soul. An ordinary True Lord won't be able to do much," said the sect master with a smile. "Alright, let's ignore him. Let's make him back off on the first summit. Let's continue with what we were talking about earlier. "
…..
Blood dripped slowly from Liu 'er's wrist.
There was a black fang pierced through her wrist. That was the Clear Light Thousand Poison Spike she had unleashed with all her might. It was one of her most powerful trump cards. However, she did not expect this trump card to ambush her from behind. Caught off guard, she was injured.
"It's useless," said the misty Taoist with a chuckle. "I advise you to go back. If you're not a Formation Grandmaster, you won't even be able to find the entrance to the Cyclone Nine Cauldron Cauldron Formation. It's useless. "
Liu 'er turned around and looked at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng's expression was calm.
"Don't look at me. I don't know anything about formations."
He took a step forward.
"However, although I don't know anything about formations, I'm powerful enough."
Liu 'er did not understand why he would say such a thing. Right now, it was not a matter of strength. Rather, they could not even find the entrance or the target. In this case, even if they were powerful, there was nothing they could do …
As if seeing through her thoughts, Lu Sheng chuckled.
"Liu 'er, if you want to destroy a box that's hard to find in a forest, what would you do?"
Liu 'er paused in thought. "I would use a searching spell technique to find the box and destroy it."
"Wrong." Lu Sheng raised a finger. "True experts don't need to look for it … Instead …
"Destroy it along with the mountain …!"
"Rumble!" …
A gigantic vortex of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. Large amounts of water vapor surged toward them from all directions.
The sky instantly darkened, as if it had been covered by a pitch-black curtain. The gigantic dark clouds slowly rotated around Lu Sheng's location.
"For those who are powerful enough, finding the box will take two hours. But destroying a mountain … actually takes the same amount of time as destroying a box. It only takes … "Lu Sheng spread his arms slightly.
"One second."
Buzz!
In that instant, his eyes glowed with a piercing blue light. Countless deep blue lights covered the entire sky of the Swaying Gold Mountain.
"Seatopple!!"
A low growl resounded.
Rumble! In an instant, an overwhelming amount of seawater descended from the sky, crashing into the Swaying Golden Mountain's great array.
Endless seawater poured into the entire mountain range.
The mountains and rivers wailed, and the earth trembled … Countless living beings wailed in pain in the torrent.
Under the bombardment of hundreds of millions of tons of seawater, the Cyclone Nine Cauldrons Formation was destroyed before it could even be activated. With a loud rumble, it turned into golden light and scattered everywhere.
