Chapter 355: Unbreakable Domain
"Is this a good place?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
He and Jiang Yue were walking around, trying to find a good place to set up a trapping formation, when Jiang Yue suddenly stopped.
"No." Jiang Yue shook his head and frowned.
"Is something wrong?"
"I don’t know. I suddenly felt a little uneasy."
"Uneasy?" Yu Nianzhen muttered and became a little more vigilant.
A cultivator’s instincts were very sharp.
If Jiang Yue felt uneasy, something was definitely off.
"I think it has something to do with my master." Jiang Yue clarified.
When the unease hit him, he suddenly remembered Chen Qing.
After thinking about it, he felt it was a premonition that something would happen to his master.
"Are you okay?"
"I am fine." Jiang Yue said but still felt a little uneasy.
Although he didn’t like Chen Qing and wanted to break their master-disciple relationship, he didn’t wish for her death.
Unfortunately, the distance between them was unsurmountable and he couldn’t help her even if he wanted to.
"We will avenge her when we leave the secret realm." Yu Nianzhen said and held his husband’s hand.
"Have you already concluded she is dead?"
Yu Nianzhen heard the question but chose not to answer.
Although they didn’t know what was going on in the Cangxing world, they had their guesses.
In that case, it wasn’t strange for Chen Qing to be injured or killed.
"You are probably right." Jiang Yue said and sighed.
After a moment of sadness, he put the matter at the back of his mind and continued walking with Yu Nianzhen.
"What kind of spiritual pools do you think we will find in the blessed land?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
"It would be good if we found one with enough spiritual qi to help us break through to the core formation realm."
"Breaking through to the core formation realm attracts thunder tribulation. Can we go through the tribulation in this secret realm?"
"We can’t." Yu Nianzhen answered and frowned.
"We can break through to the core formation realm but can only experience the thunder tribulation when we go out."
When Jiang Yue heard that, he also frowned.
If the tribulation was attracted as soon as they went out of the Nine Treasures secret realm, they wouldn’t have time to prepare defences.
At that time, they would be at the mercy of others.
"I will find time to prepare some formation disks. We should also exchange some of our treasures for defence items."
"Okay. We have..." Yu Nianzhen started but suddenly stopped.
He felt a chill at the back of his neck and he subconsciously released his sword.
"Who is it?" He asked while pulling Jiang Yue to the side.
[There is something foul in the aura.] Jiang Yue transmitted as he removed his pipa.
"The two babies are quite vigilant." A hoarse voice resounded around them.
Soon after, a burly man appeared in front of them.
The man was dressed in a grey robe and had an evil glint in his eyes.
"Are you Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen?" The man asked with a sneer on his lips.
He looked at the two and disdain filled his eyes.
"It turns out that you are just this." He mocked and didn’t seem to take the two seriously.
"You should be Duan Buzhi." Jiang Yue reasoned and coldness filled the man’s eyes.
"Brat, who gave you the confidence to call my name? Kneel down and apologise to your ancestor."
"Are you also worthy to be my ancestor?" Jiang Yue snorted.
"If you don’t kneel down and kowtow nine times to ask for my forgiveness, I will not leave you with a whole body."
"I will kill you and let my corpse puppet have fun with your body." Duan Buzhi threatened.
However, this only served to anger the two.
Without waiting to hear another word, Yu Nianzhen released his sword domain.
After repeated refinement, the domain had a diameter of only ten metres.
However, it was incomparably more powerful than it was during the Ice Palace martial contest.
As soon as Duan Buzhi was enclosed in the domain, he felt like he had entered a world of sharp swords.
"You actually have a sword domain?" Duan Buzhi was surprised but he was not worried.
"Why don’t I welcome you into my Death Flower Ascension Front?" He said.
"I can see the both of you are about to break through to the core formation realm. When you break through to the nascent soul realm, you will realise how frustrating the Cangxing world is. At that time, you will realise that sacrificing a few talents is worth the chance to continue progressing."
"If you join my Death Flower Ascension Front, we will help you leave the Cangxing world. You can go a bigger world to continue breaking through."
When Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue heard that, they couldn’t help but look at each other.
The look wasn’t because they were tempted to join but because it was the first time they heard talk about leaving the Cangxing world.
For a long time, they suspected there were ways to leave the Cangxing world.
However, no one seemed to know anything so they resigned to investigating when they left the secret realm.
"Does your Death Flower Ascension Front have a way to leave the Cangxing world?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Of course. Our Holy Maiden has a way."
’Holy maiden?’ Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but wonder.
He didn’t know a lot about the Death Flower Ascension Front and this was the first time he heard mention of a Holy Maiden.
"How many cultivators have already left the Cangxing world?" Jiang Yue pushed.
"The time to leave has not come. Our Holy Maiden will take us to leave when the time is right."
"Is that so?" Jiang Yue sneered with eyes filled with ridicule.
In his mind, he suddenly felt that the Death Flower Ascension Front was like a modern-day cult or pyramid scheme.
The cult was led by a mysterious but unknown person and the disciples were promised a beautiful but illusionary future.
"Brat, do you dare to ridicule our Holy Maiden?" Duan Buzhi roared angrily.
After he was trapped in the sword domain, he only erected a basic defence and didn’t do his best to escape.
Now that Jiang Yue had ridiculed the Holy Maiden, Duan Buzhi no longer wanted to play with them.
With an angry snort, he raised his palm and slapped the sword domain.
"Do you think your weak sword domain can hold me?" He roared angrily.
"I think it can." Yu Nianzhen said with a devious smirk on his lips.
His sword domain was not large but it was not weak.
Unless he took it back, Yu Nianzhen didn’t believe anyone could break it.
Unfortunately, such a powerful sword domain came at a cost.
With his current strength, Yu Nianzhen could only hold it for a quarter of an hour.
After that, the sword domain would shrink and dissipate.
"You bastard, don’t think you can be arrogant just because I have suppressed my cultivation."
While saying that, Duan Buzhi removed the coffin from his back.
"Watch how I break your sword domain."
"I am waiting." Yu Nianzhen said and sneered.
Soon after, Duan Buzhi opened his coffin and released his corpse puppet.
At the same time, a lot of corpse qi was released into the sword domain.
[Azhen, are you sure this is okay? That corpse qi won’t corrupt your sword domain?]
[I comprehended nine dao concepts in the origin tempering realm. One is the concept of life and death. Essentially, corpse qi relates to death and the extreme of death is life. The laws in my sword domain will deal with the corpse qi.]
[Don’t forget that I refined a space embryo and a space core. My sword domain is not an illusionary domain but a complete sword world with its own rules. Although the laws are not complete, not even a nascent soul realm cultivator can affect the world.]
[Azhen, you are amazing.]
[I would rather hear that in a different context.]
[When did you learn to be so naughty.] Jiang Yue admonished with a light blush on his cheeks.
However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
"It’s not a solution to trap him like this." He said.
"Don’t worry." Yu Nianzhen said and smirked before he continued.
[The domain isn’t so simple. The aura in my domain is filled with my sword intent. He can’t escape.]
"I don’t believe I can’t break this sword domain." Duan Buzhi roared and continued to attack the sword domain.
Unfortunately, he didn’t wait for the domain to break but waited for his qi to riot.
"What have you done?" He asked as he desperately tried to suppress his rioting qi.
For the first time since he met the two, fear entered his heart and eyes.
He suddenly felt that he had recklessly wandered into a dangerous situation which he couldn’t escape from.
"Do you know who I am? I am a pillar elder of the Death Flower Ascension Front. Don’t think you can get away with messing with me."
