Chapter 1332: Chapter 53: Reading Star Qi to Determine Fortune and Misfortune
The method to trap heaven and earth, apart from some rare divine secrets and Dharma Treasures, only a Nascent Soul Third Realm Cultivator could deploy so seamlessly. Under attack in the Beimo Sea Realm, the group could only think of the words Python Clan.
Wei Daoist, after her initial panic, quickly steadied her heart and spirit, and took a silver pill from her sachet. With a flick of her finger, it flew up into the sky with a "whoosh" and exploded, transforming into a silver radiance that scattered like gentle rain and warm wind, timely covering the hundred or so people present.
Everyone immediately felt their bodies lighten slightly. If they were to rashly rush out of the silver light’s protection now, they would surely be picked off one by one, so no one dared to venture rashly. They all stepped forward to thank Wei Daoist.
Elder Xing captured a wisp of Qi Mechanism, identified it, and somberly said, "The demon energy is thick, this is certainly the work of Python Clan cultivators. But they harbor no past enmities with us; why do such a thing? Could they have mistaken us for someone else?"
Zeng Conglun gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Xing, why bother with these inquiries? Those demons, unable to escape their beastly nature, now that they’ve trapped us, enemy or not, they are enemies now."
Elder Xing looked at Wei Daoist, seeing her deploying a Dharma Treasure, he asked, "I wonder how long Daoist Wei’s Dharma Treasure can protect us?"
Wei Daoist replied, "This Star Net is a heavy treasure of my sect, personally refined by the Ancestor Master. With my mana, it can ensure safety for about two hours."
Elder Xing pondered for a moment, and said, "Two hours are neither long nor short; it’s not suitable to linger. We need to come up with a method to break through early."
A burly cultivator with a beard on his chin approached, loudly declaring, "Why should we worry? Here we have more than ten fellow Nascent Souls. So what if the opponent is a Nascent Soul Third Realm Great Cultivator? As long as we join hands, we can fight our way out. I don’t believe they can really stop us."
Elder Xing shook his head and said, "Not wise. Who knows how many clan members the Python Clan has deployed? Even if they can’t control us, none of our disciples will be able to escape."
The cultivator fell silent.
Zeng Conglun stroked his beard, contemplating, and then his eyes suddenly brightened. He turned to a Daoist in black clothes and red hair, thin as a twig, and cupped his hands, saying, "I have heard that Ma Daoist’s sect specializes in breaking Strange Skills. I wonder if there is a Marvelous Technique available at the moment?"
Everyone turned their gaze to this Daoist. On top of him, Gang Cloud appeared two solid and one void, seemingly about to enter the Second Realm; in this gathering, he was considered quite profound in Daoist Cultivation. He thought for a moment, made a salutation, and said, "The technique to trap heaven and earth is no trivial matter. If the opponent’s cultivation is impure, there might be a slim chance. I can only give it a try. If I fail, please do not blame me."
Upon finishing, he lifted his sleeve, took out a black iron Star Disk, then went to the edge of the silver radiance and stood firm, occasionally adjusting positions, sending out streaks of Spirit Light, mumbling constantly.
After a moment, the burly cultivator saw him still unhurriedly turning the Star Disk, and couldn’t help but feel impatient. He went up and asked, "Brother Ma Daoist, how is it going?"
Ma Daoist seemed to resent the interruption, frowned, hummed, and turned his head away.
The cultivator’s face turned awkward, though shamed and angry, he knew it was a critical moment and had to bear it.
After a while, Ma Daoist put down the Star Disk and sighed, "This place is unfavorable. The opponent’s Daoist Cultivation is too deep, and their mana is seamless without flaw. Besides this individual, there is an Array confining us outside. Forgive my incompetence."
"A Great Array?"
Everyone was shocked and appalled. Just the technique to trap heaven and earth was hard enough to endure; with an additional Great Array outside, how could they possibly escape?
Wei Daoist suddenly sensed something, her eyes glanced aside, seeing the dense fog outside gradually receding, replaced by countless flashes of Thunder Light, flames, and hailstones shooting from the void continuously against where everyone stood.
The thin layer of silver radiance slammed and echoed, constantly swaying as if unable to hold. Her expression changed slightly, quickly casting several spells to barely sustain it.
She said with some effort, "Ma Daoist was not wrong. There is also Array Power attacking from outside. At most, it can resist for another hour before this treasure is breached."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s face turned extremely grim.
Elder Xing laughed bitterly, "Could it be that today we shall be buried here?" He glanced back at the disciples behind him with a sigh.
Zeng Conglun exhibited a changing expression, as if contemplating something difficult. After a long while, he suddenly looked up and said, "Everyone, I have a method, or it can be tried, but..." At this point, he abruptly stopped his words.
