?Chapter 1008: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 104 Xuanqing Zi Chapter 1008: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 104 Xuanqing Zi Deep underground, over twenty li north of the small lake, hundreds of cultivators still gathered at the entrance to the sealed rift.
Due to the self-destruction of the Illusion Array, a fissure several zhang wide was distinctly visible to all the cultivators present.
However, this also made the passage increasingly dangerous.
At the entrance, silver light flickered incessantly, like silver waves sweeping out, appearing extremely eerie.
At the entrance, those Loose Cultivators and small faction cultivators who deemed themselves unable to participate in the competition kept their distance.
Besides them, there were three groups of cultivators gathered there, seemingly at a stalemate.
One group consisted entirely of female cultivators dressed in emerald-green robes, each young and beautiful with a graceful figure.
Judging by their attire, they were local cultivators from the Southern Border.
Leading them were only two people, a mid-Nascent Soul Stage woman with ordinary looks, and a young woman at the early Nascent Soul Stage, who was captivatingly beautiful.
Directly opposite these female cultivators was a group of more than thirty cultivators.
Strangely, this group was vaguely divided into two factions: one wearing black clothes, the other in snow-white robes.
Standing in front of them were five Nascent Soul cultivators.
Ge Tianhao and the Endless Sky Saintess, Lin Yinping, were among them, but the most eye-catching was a handsome young man standing next to the Endless Sky Saintess.
Judging by the fluctuations of his spiritual energy, he was a late-Nascent Soul great cultivator, none other than the Great Immortal Master from the Heaventide Prairies, surnamed Xu.

The last group of cultivators had the fewest members, only three Taoist priests in blue robes, led by an old priest with white hair and a ruddy face boasting the demeanor of immortality-a late-stage great cultivator.
“Madam Mu, why should your sect wade into these troubled waters?
This humble Daoist does not look down upon you, but this journey is extraordinarily dangerous.
One moment of inattention could greatly harm the Immortal Transcendence Sect.
I’m offering advice out of the good relations we had in the old days,” said the white-haired old Taoist earnestly to the woman.
Judging from his tone, the old Taoist seemed to be quite familiar with the woman.
“Xuanqing Zi, even if Taiyi Sect claims to be the number one sect of the Daoist path, you can’t be so overbearing.
This seal is clearly within my sect’s area of influence-how come our Immortal Transcendence Sect can’t enter?
As for the danger, it’s not something our disciples fear,” the woman replied indifferently.
The group of female cultivators turned out to belong to another major sect from the Southern Border closest to the seal, the disciples of the Immortal Transcendence Sect.
Speaking of which, this sect’s reputation in the realm of immortal cultivators was even more renowned than that of the Poison Holy Gate.
Due to their cultivation techniques, most of the disciples were female, and the high-ranking cultivators and elders in the sect were also women.
However, the sect’s prestige in the Southern Border came from the infamous and unpredictable cursed poisonous techniques within the sect, supposedly capable of killing someone invisibly from ten thousand li away.
Thus, in the realm of immortal cultivators, there were often rumors that those who offended this sect would mysteriously die in places that had no connection to it.
This caused other sect cultivators to be extremely wary of the female cultivators from this sect, preferring not to provoke them lightly.
This ‘Madam Mu’ from the Immortal Transcendence Sect even had a terrifying legend of cursing to death three same-level cultivators in different locations on the same day.
The old Taoist had his own indecipherable grievance with this woman from years gone by.
Therefore, even though the old Taoist was an elder from one of the Great Jin’s most prestigious sects, he was very polite in his demeanor.
“Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, I won’t interfere with the affairs of other sects, but we of the Yin Sifting Sect must enter,” another voice spoke up, belonging to Ge Tianhao on the other side.
This man had rushed day and night with a group of Heaventide cultivators and, upon entering the Southern Border, immediately met up with two other elders from the Yin Sifting Sect and learned of the underground seal.
They had hurried to the location without delay.
Now, feeling that their force was greater than that of the Taiyi Sect, he certainly would not back down easily.
“Fellow Daoist Ge, if you really wish to enter, this humble Daoist would not be insistent on blocking your way.
Not to hide from everyone, I’ve received secret information that the seal was deliberately being undone by someone with a hidden agenda.
Although I don’t know what lies beneath, I’m sure it’s nothing good.
Besides, I won’t intervene in this matter.
With the rift turned into what it is now, I wonder how you, fellow Daoists, plan to get through.
Even I would not dare to rush in rashly,” the elder Xuanqing Zi replied without anger after hearing these words, glancing at the silver radiance in the entrance, and said nothing of approval or disapproval.
Upon hearing the old Taoist’s words, both the woman in the green robe and Ge Tianhao and the others fell silent.
Indeed, this was a difficult problem to solve!
The restrictive formations’ fluctuations within the rift were violently turbulent, and entering it was indeed an exceedingly dangerous matter.
“In recent years, our Immortal Transcendence Sect happened to acquire a Sun and Moon Shuttle, considered one of the few treasures in the world capable of both offense and defense.
If my senior sister and I join forces, we would like to give it a try,” the woman suggested with a slight sweep of the hair in front of her forehead.
“The Sun and Moon Shuttle?
One of the Three Spirit Shuttles?
Madam actually possesses such a treasure!” exclaimed the old Taoist in surprise.
“It’s nothing.
Our sect only just got our hands on it and intend to make this treasure a legacy of our Immortal Transcendence Sect!” Madam Mu said calmly, without concealment.
“Since Madam has this treasure, this humble Daoist has nothing more to say.
Do take care, Fellow Daoist Mu.
I too will enter this seal two days from now,” the old Taoist nodded, no longer saying much.
“Two days from now?
Didn’t the fellow Daoist just say that even you can’t get through?
What do you mean by saying this now?” Ge Tianhao sensed something amiss.
“Did I not mention?
Two days from now, the Stalwart Star Island’s Seven Marvels human-sized fellow will arrive.
With the help of the Seven Marvels Daoist’s Spirit Turtle Flying Carriage, passing through this rift will not be a problem,” said the old Taoist, twirling his beard.
“Seven Marvels human-sized fellow is coming here too?” Ge Tianhao and others were taken aback.
“Indeed, the secret report I received was involving matters linked to both the Righteous and the Devil Dao.
It just so happens that Seven Marvels Daoist and I were responsible for it and had just split up to work separately near the Southern Border not long ago.
Now that we’ve found the clues, naturally, I must call upon Seven Marvels Daoist to lend a hand.
It’s not that I lack courage, but if the secret report holds true, I admit that I can’t be of much use alone.
It would be more prudent to wait for Seven Marvels Daoist and enter the seal together,” the old Taoist said leisurely.
Upon hearing that even Qi Miao from the Heavenly Demon Sect had taken action, Ge Tianhao’s expression turned particularly ugly.
After brooding for a while, his lips slightly moved as he communicated telepathically with the Endless Sky Saintess and the Xu surnamed youth.
The Xu surnamed youth remained expressionless, while Lin Yinping listened with tightly furrowed brows.
Seeing this, Ge Tianhao quickly added something else, and after a moment of silence, the Xu surnamed youth eventually gave a slow nod.
Although Lin Yinping hesitated, she did not voice any objections.
Only then did Ge Tianhao’s expression ease.
He resolutely addressed Xuanqing Zi,
“From what Fellow Daoist Xuanqing has said, it seems there indeed lies a big problem beneath the seal.
But since the Great Elders of my sect have already descended, Ge cannot simply stand by and watch.
Although we do not possess treasures like the Sun Moon Shuttle and Spirit Turtle Flying Carriage, we still ought to give it a try.”
“Hehe!
Since the old Daoist has made it so clear, Brother Ge must be confident in his support.
This humble Daoist will not be the villain.
If you have any divine skills that can pass through the crack, feel free to use them.” Xuanqing Zi was not surprised and cast a sidelong glance at the Great Immortal Master Xu from Heaventide after speaking, his face calm.
It was clear that this old Daoist was well aware of the origins of the Heaventide cultivators.
“Since that’s the case, we won’t stand on ceremony.
Daoist Xu, I’m afraid we must trouble you to make a move,” said Ge Tianhao with a chuckle, turning to speak afterwards.
“Hmm, since Brother Ge insists, Elder Xu will make an attempt for both of you,” the youth replied.
With one hand patting a spirit beast pouch at his waist, a burst of rainbow light instantly swept out from the pouch.
With a flash of spiritual light, a Five-Colored Peacock appeared in mid-air, its colorful feathers emitting circles of light that were dazzling and eye-catching.
“That’s the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock!” Xuanqing Zi’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face showing a hint of color change.
“Indeed, the rainbow light released by the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock naturally isolates nature’s spiritual energy.
With it leading the way, we too can enter.
Brother Xuanqing, we’ll take our leave first.”
Once the Xu surnamed youth released the spiritual bird, Ge Tianhao and the others no longer hesitated.
Following a clear cry from the peacock, they plunged into the silver radiance.
The several Nascent Soul cultivators each released their protective Daoist paper talismans and quickly followed suit, escaping into it.
In the blink of an eye, only the low-level disciples from Heaventide and the Yin Sifting Sect remained outside.
Having apparently received prior orders, once they saw Ge Tianhao and the others enter safely and without issue, they did not linger further and each flew away on streaks of light toward the surface.
In a moment, only Xuanqing Zi, the women from the Immortal Transcendence Sect, and others remained at the entrance.
Madam Mu pondered for a moment and then gave a few orders, prompting her female disciples to disperse and leave the place.
After watching her disciples depart, the woman nodded at the beautiful young disciple to signal,
“Sister, release the Three Spirit Shuttle!”
“Understood!” The beautiful woman responded, reaching to her slim waist and producing a silvery pointed object.
With a toss, it arched into the sky.
Almost simultaneously, the woman flicked her sleeve, sacrificing a similarly shaped golden object.
Instantly, silver and golden lights touched in mid-air.
Instead of exploding into a repulsive force, they merged together in a flash, forming a giant, gold and silver-colored shuttle, roughly the size of a human, with an imposing aura.
“Let’s go!” The woman shouted tenderly, and together with the beautiful young woman, they transformed into two streaks of rainbow light that vanished in a flash, entering the shuttle, which left no trace.
The shuttle’s gold and silver lights twinkled simultaneously, spinning and then shooting out, flying into the crack.
“After all the old Daoist’s talk, you still insist on entering.
If something happens, don’t blame the old Daoist for not warning you!” Xuanqing Zi murmured to himself with a hint of a strange expression on his face once the giant shuttle had completely vanished.
He then gestured to the two Core Formation Daoist Priests behind him, and the three of them sat down cross-legged at the entrance to meditate and replenish their energy.
With such a great cultivator guarding the entrance, the other cultivators in the distance could only glance at each other unsurely.
Inside the seal, atop Kunwu Mountain within a dimly lit enclosed space, a massive object so large as to be unbelievable was floating motionless mid-air, its body surface pasted with countless restriction talismans and wrapped with dense chains.
The talismans flashed with spiritual light, indicating their high grade, while the chains were the opposite: dull and lightless, yet seeping thin threads of blood stains.
(First update!
Cough!
The last couple of days I’ve caught a chill, and my head hurts terribly.
It really is true that when misfortune comes, even cold water chokes.
It’s probably because I haven’t rested well lately.
Right now, typing up these words is incredibly taxing, so if the updates are delayed, I hope everyone can be understanding!)(To be continued, for more please visit www.qidian.com.
