"It should be because I forgot to set up the linked and fused micro-engraved pattern just now. One more time, one more time should do it. Don't be fooled by the rune chains on my body. They look fine, but they're actually riddled with holes by my formation's true spirit. They're at the end of their tether. I just need to fix them and I'll be able to break free easily. "Lu Sheng looked calm.
"…"
The two-headed strange man looked at him expressionlessly.
"Fine, I'll show you the top-notch formation skills that I've finally become a grandmaster after years of hard work!" Lu Sheng felt like he was about to break down.
"Ancient Deer Spirit! Open! "
With a loud bang, a black stag soared into the sky and disappeared into the thick clouds in the blink of an eye.
The rune chains on Lu Sheng's body shone with a blinding golden light.
"Interesting. Looks like I'll have to show my true strength." Lu Sheng looked down at the seal on his body and suddenly smirked.
Large amounts of black gas gathered again.
Soon, there was another loud boom. The clouds were split open again, and the three-headed giant snake shot into the sky and disappeared into the starry sky.
Lu Sheng stood where he was, panting slightly.
"I … I've underestimated you guys … Looks like I can't hold back anymore …"
He turned his head to look at the two-headed strange man not far away.
The strange man was looking at him with an extremely pitiful gaze.
"I forgot to tell you … This Qianling Recovery Formation is controlled by the incarnation of the Sect Master of the Upper Realm. Even if the thirteen Celestial Masters of the Spring Autumn Sect were here, they wouldn't be able to get out of this place, much less you … "The two-headed strange man shook his head speechlessly.
"Alright, someone take him away first." The two-headed strange man looked behind him. Only the black-bearded Daoist was still waiting for him among the onlookers.
"Hurry up, I still have a cauldron of Golden Purple Pills to refine. If I don't have enough fire stones, this cauldron will be ruined again!" The black-bearded Daoist urged.
"I know, I know!" The two-headed strange man replied helplessly.
He hurried forward, picked up Lu Sheng, and flew back.
Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at the sky. He knew that he was really screwed this time. Initially, he thought he could delay the Indefinite Cult for a while and test out his current strength.
Unfortunately …
Fortunately, he had prepared a foolproof plan before coming here, and this body was not using his own face.
"This place is indeed deep …" He sighed in his heart. Just now, he had combined the formation with the Devil Qi of his main body and unleashed all of his strength, but he still could not break the Mountain Guarding Formation. In the end, his True Power was exhausted, and he was actually thrown into the dungeon for the first time.
Clang.
With a metallic creak, Lu Sheng was thrown into a spacious and clean dungeon.
The metal door was locked again with a clatter.
"Wait here for now," the twin-headed monster who caught him said casually and turned to leave the dungeon.
Lu Sheng looked around the dungeon. Many obscure formation veins were carved in the same gray color as the walls. There were many of them. Even with his attainments, he could only recognize a small portion of them.
'Looks like I've kicked a metal plate …' A chill ran down Lu Sheng's spine.
Just the faint energy fluctuations emanating from the rune seal alone made him feel as if he was carrying an extremely heavy burden. Not to mention the Devil Qi and True Qi in his body, even his Reincarnation Heart, which he had comprehended, was faintly disturbed.
He did not use the reincarnation heart, and was only fighting this formation with his Confusion Realm main body's strength. However, he was captured so easily. This was far beyond Lu Sheng's expectations.
Moreover, he had a feeling that even if he used the half-Virture Underworld-level Heart Image Qianshen, he would only be able to struggle for a little longer.
The Taoists were fine. They were not considered powerful. The main problem was that this formation was too ridiculous.
…
…
Upper Realm, Indefinite Cult's Immortal Music Palace.
Within a vast palace that was pure white, a white-robed old man with colorful halos behind him stood before a transparent pool that resembled a lake.
The old man had white hair and a ruddy complexion. His eyes shone with a faint silver light that was as deep as the sea. An inconspicuous thick white rope was tied around his forehead. He gave off a simple yet mysterious aura.
Currently, he was looking at the pool before him in astonishment. The pool was rippling slowly, showing Lu Sheng's various actions when he tried to break through the formation.
'No wonder I sensed unusual movements in the space-time vortex around me recently … So, someone from the Demonic Realm has come …' The old man shook his head and chuckled. He studied Lu Sheng for a while.
'Interesting. As long as his heart image remains, his true body won't die? No wonder he's so fearless and only sent a clone here … '
He muttered to himself. A strand of white beard fell off his chin.
The white beard drifted to the center of the pool. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a white stream of light and disappeared.
Above the Indefinite Cult's Kongying Mountain.
A strong wind blew. Countless spiritual powers formed a whirlwind storm that tore at the clouds in the sky.
The clouds here were not as gentle and calm as they appeared on the ground. Countless tiny lightning bolts split and flowed wildly within the clouds. Occasionally, they would gather into a larger bolt of lightning.
"Whoosh!"
All of a sudden, a slender beam of white light shot down from the universe beyond the heavens. It pierced through the clouds, the lightning bolts, and the spiritual power storm that stood in its way.
It shot fiercely into the huge golden formation on Kongying Mountain.
The Taoists from the Indefinite Cult who were guarding the formation did not notice anything at all. The 13 True Immortals were out on their own. There were only a few people in the headquarters. After all, as long as the formation was active, nobody could barge into the headquarters' core.
The white light was incredibly fast. Even the Taoists guarding the formation did not notice it. It had already broken through the layers of formations and arrived at the dungeon.
Rather than saying that the formations were broken through, it was more accurate to say that they parted naturally and opened up a path for the white light.
The white light entered the dungeon in an instant and broke through the countless invisible seals and barriers. It passed through the cells of many great demon cultivators and quickly arrived at one of the newest dungeons.
The white light landed on the ground and transformed into an old man in a white robe with white hair and a beard. His appearance was identical to the old man from the upper realm.
The old man wore a gentle smile on his face. He looked slowly at Lu Sheng who was rising from the dungeon.
"Young friend, do you know what the source of this world is?" His voice seemed to penetrate one's soul. He did not need to use words. Anyone would understand what he meant in an instant.
Lu Sheng's expression turned solemn. He stood up from the dungeon.
"May I know who you are, old sir?"
The old man smiled but did not speak.
A series of guesses flashed through Lu Sheng's mind. However, his expression did not change. He had expected this when he first came here. After all, he was only a clone. It would be surprising if he could destroy the entire Indefinite Cult.
He had expected to be locked up in the dungeon. Initially, he had planned to do something to test the strength of the Indefinite Cult's headquarters. He did not expect a big shot to notice him as soon as he entered.
"Old sir, what brings you here today?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Young friend, your spirit is completely different from the Heavenly Devils I've encountered. Come to think of it, the Heavenly Devil World is connected to the myriad worlds. Although it's not as vast as the Mystic World, there are still many Devil Gods. However, with your spirit's potential, I'm sure you're not from the Demonic Realm, "the old man said softly with a smile.
Lu Sheng's heart trembled.
Not only did the old man know about the Demonic Realm, but he also knew that his spirit was not from the Demonic Realm.
He was slightly shocked. Who exactly was this old man? This was the Indefinite Cult. The only person in the entire Indefinite Cult who had such knowledge was probably the cult master.
"You must be joking, senior. I've only just arrived, and I've unintentionally disturbed you. Please forgive me, "Lu Sheng said in a deep voice with a solemn expression. "However, since you've come looking for me, do tell me what you need, senior."
He did not believe that a peak expert like this would come looking for him for no reason. Moreover, although the old man before him was powerful, he could roughly sense that the old man's tier was only at the peak of the Void Underworld tier the moment his spirit came into contact with him.
There were differences in the Void Underworld tier as well. For example, the peak of the Underworld Net tier would be addressed as Master.
There was no doubt that the old man before him was a Master.
Moreover, he did not have much spiritual power on him. It was clear that he had some sort of cloning technique.
"It's been 367,000 years since I founded the Indefinite Cult. I've encountered many Heavenly Devils during this period, but this is my first time seeing a peculiar spirit like yours, young friend. I've come to the Lower Realm in hopes that you can lend me a hand, young friend. "
"Oh? With your abilities, you need my help? "Lu Sheng was stunned. He finally understood the old man's identity.
He was the Indefinite Cult Master, one of the two most powerful immortals in this region.
"It's different, it's different." The Indefinite Cult Master smiled and waved his hand. "You might not know this, young friend, but Empress Wa is currently at a critical juncture. Her spirit is transforming, and has undergone an unprecedented qualitative change. However, she's too powerful. My good friend and I can only corrode a little of her body even if we work together. However, if you help her with the Heavenly Devil God, perhaps you'll be able to achieve greater results. "
"Empress Wa? Corrode her body? "Lu Sheng was stunned.
"You might not know this, young friend … The West Cliff Dynasty, along with the eight nations around it, is merely the left shoulder of Empress Wa's true body. It's an area the size of her fingernail," said the Indefinite Cult Master with a smile.
"If this succeeds, we'll naturally benefit greatly. However, you won't return empty-handed, young friend. Empress Wa's true body was formed from the essence of a dimensional storm that lasted for hundreds of millions of years. Even among the Palaeozoic races, Empress Wa's Clan is one of the few most powerful upper Palaeozoic races. " At this point, the Indefinite Cult Master opened his palm with a smile. A wisp of dark-yellow smoke circled around his palm.
The smoke seemed to be alive. It kept trying to condense into the human-headed, snake-bodied Nuwa.
"This is a wisp of Empress Wa's true body's essence. I'll give it to you, young friend. Although it won't be of much help, you'll be able to taste the true effects of this treasure," said the Indefinite Cult Master with a smile. The Indefinite Cult Master said with a smile. With a flick of his palm, the dark yellow smoke instantly shot toward Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed the smoke in his hand. After inspecting it for a while, he did not find anything fishy about it. He could clearly see that there was only one type of energy that was tumbling and struggling within it.
He opened his mouth and inhaled.
The smoke instantly surged into his mouth and disappeared into the depths of his throat.
Almost at the same time, in a straw hut deep in the mountains thousands of miles away from Kongying Mountain, Lu Sheng's main body opened his eyes abruptly. He stared at Deep Blue's interface hovering before him in shock.
"It's just a wisp of Empress Wa's essence.
