Chapter 863 – Fantasy Enemy
Just as the fluctuations of the great battle from the depths of the desert caused the Jadeite Oasis’s cultivators to look at each other in dismay, a streak of light streaked across the sky towards the oasis.
He seemed to have not even been able to catch a breath of air. Witint of anxiety, he cupped his hands towards the few people in the oasis and said, “Fellow cultivators in the oasis, when we asked about the invasion of the alien army, we have specially come to rescue them. We are currently tens of miles away fighting the alien cultivators.
A few Spiritual Masters looked at each other, and it wasn’t that none of them were moved, but just as they were considering how to answer, they realized that the core Adept Tai Gang, Yang Junshan, was actually gone.
Chen JunSen had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, “Who are you? How do you know that we were ambushed by the alien cultivators?”
When the cultivator heard this, his expression changed and he said unhappily: “Everyone from the Guan Lan Sect, do you not not believe me? We came here to help out out of good intentions, and are now fighting with the people from the other realms tens of miles away. Do you want to stand by and watch?”
He thought that Yang Junshan seemed to be hiding something, so he said straightforwardly: “I won’t hide it from you, we just went through a big battle, and can be said to all be injured, we are unable to help out, but you do not need to worry, our sect will send reinforcements soon, as long as we endure foeriod of time, when the various experts of our sect arrive, we will definitely be able to annihilate this group of people from the outside of this region!”
When the cultivator saw that the Guan Lan Sect was refusing the fight while hiding in the oasis, and heard that they were about to lend a hand, he rolled his eyes and asked: “So that’s how it is. “What trump card does that alien expert have? I hope that everyone can tell that we can also become familiar with each other.”
Just as Chen JunSen was about to speak, a voice floated into his ears, causing him to pause for a moment. He hesitantly said, “Those experts from the foreign battleground are all injured. Since you are here, you have already won. Why do you need to ask us about what happened?”
“But who would have thought that the Guan Lan Sect is not only a bunch of cowards, they are also a bunch of misers. No wonder the alien race chose to attack the Emerald Lake Oasis first, and we were the ones who came to rescue them. This oasis should be broken by the alien tribes, and that it’s better than being in their hands by all of you.”
The few people inside the oasis were still feeling slightly guilty because they didn’t want to take the risk to fight, but after talking for a while, they had already noticed some clues. Chen Junsheng asked, “Who exactly are you? You’re not here to rescue us, are you?”
The cultivator’s cold gaze swept across the four cultivators in the oasis. For a moment, all four of them feleavy pressure, and just as they were overwhelmed with shock, the aura around the man exploded with power. He actually flew towards the battle in the depths of the desert at an even faster speed than before.
“Adept Tiangang!”
Chen JunSen and the others exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with indecision. They had obviously harbored evil intentions towards him, but now that he had revealed his cultivation base, it was more like a demonstration of strength, or perhaps it was a display of determination?
Thinking about how Chen JunSen and the others had been trying to find out about the situation in the oasis, everyone could not help but have a shadow rise in their hearts. It was probably true that the other party had come to expel the Alien Cultivator, and at the same time, took advantage of this opportunity to take over the entire oasis of Jadeite Lake. Or more accurately, the other party had wanted to take advantage of the situation when the Oasis was being attacked by the people from outside of Jadeite Lake.
Yang Junshan, who had originally disappeared, suddenly appeared in front of everyone again, and directly spoke: “I’m afraid it’s someone from the Purple Wind Sect!”
“Purple Wind Sect!”
Although everyone’s hearts were heavy, they did not seem surprised at all. It was as if it was normal for Purple Wind Sect to appear at this time, and they had the strength and qualifications to do so.
Yang Junshan obviously did not mind putting more suspicion on the Purple Wind Sect, and said: “It’s just that what I find strange is that the Purple Wind Sect had ran in front of the Guan Lan Sect to save them. One must know that the people from the foreign land had sealed off the oasis’s surroundings before they attacked.
The first half of Yang Junshan’s words almost caused people to suspect that he was saying that there was a spy from the Purple Wind Sect within the oasis sending the message. However, the latter half of the sentence caused the Adept Chen to heave a sigh of relief, but after that he exclaimed: “Taoist Yang’s meaning is that the Purple Wind Sect already knew in advance that there were people from outside this region that were going to ambush the Jadeite Lake, or perhaps the actions of this group of people from outside this region were originally under the surveillance of the Purple Wind Sect?”
Yang Junshan smiled slightly and said: “Could it be that Purple Wind Sect is unable to do so?”
If what Yang Junshan said was true, and if that Heavenly Dipper cultivator who did everything he could to get everyone out of the oasis formation and insisted on not revealing his identity was truly from the Purple Wind Sect, then the reason why the Purple Wind Sect took action this time was not pure!
“Then what if Purple Wind Sect attacks the Emerald Lake …”
One of the Dao Masters hesitated for a while, before saying something. However, the meaning behind his words was extremely obvious, if Purple Wind Sect wanted to seize the chance to snatch the Emerald Lake, what should they do, or more accurately, what would Yang Junshan do?
Now, whether or not the Jadeite Lake could be defended against the attacks from the foreign forces was all up to Yang Junshan, but if he truly met the Purple Wind Sect, what reason did he have to be embroiled in the internal strife of the Xi Zhou?
Yang Junshan smiled slightly, and spoke with confidence: “The war has slowed down a bit, but the Jadeite Lake has suffered a great loss this time, so everyone should still be consoled by themselves, in case there are still people from the Mystic Clan hiding amongst them. As for the people from the Purple Wind Sect, I have my own ways of dealing with them, that’s right, fellow cultivator Chen, is there any other formation masters in the oasis? “Even if he’s not from your sect, even if he’s just an apprentice, fellow cultivator just call him over!”
At the same time, several tens of kilometers away, the strength of the stiff copper arm which had been chopped off by Yang Junshan had become weaker than that of the ordinary cultivators. After retreating from the Jadeite Oasis, they engaged in a free-for-all with the other cultivators of Purple Wind Sect who had rushed over along the way. The forces of the Foreign Lands had suffered a great loss, and Copper Rigidity had lost its life on the spot.
A few of the Purple Wind Sect’s light beams were floating in the air. Daoist Master Zhao saw a light beam flying towards them from afar and waved it over, “Junior Brother Yue, how is the situation at the Emerald Lake?”
The cultivator who had disguised himself aescuer spoke in shame, “Senior Brother Zhao, fellow disciples, that person from the Emerald Lake was not fooled. I am ashamed.”
One of the Purple Wind Secsked: “Then how much combat power does the opponent have left? How many Adept Realm Cultivator are there?
I only see four people, and their cultivation is the highest among them, Chen JunSen. I also know that he is a sword cultivator, and is considered an expert among the same level. However, his strength is not enough to guard the Jadeite Lake, but the other party is not afraid.
When the Daoist Master heard this, he said thoughtfully, “Could San Tong still be alive?”
Daoist Master Zhao smiled and said: “I’m afraid that the people of the Guan Lan Sect are already frightened, and it’s normal for them to not dare to leave the array. However, Junior Brother Yue is an array master, in your opinion, the Jadeite Lake’s array still has a bit of power left. If we try to take the Jadeite Lake by force, would we be able to break it?”
This time, Spiritual Master Yue revealed a puzzled look on his face as he said, “This is also what makes me surprised. Although the Sand River Treasure Formation is exquisite, it has clearly suffered from the impact, and the damage inflicted to the oasis is extremely obvious. The array’s power should have declined and revealed some flaws, but the feeling I got from the array was not only not weakened, it was even more powerful.”
“How is this possible? Could it be that even with junior brother Yue’s attainments in formations, he was unable to see through the flaws in this Sand River formation?”
Spiritual Master Yue could only smile bitterly.
Daoist Master Zhao pondered for a moment and said, “We will go and have a look. This is the best opportunity to seize the Emerald Lake Oasis. It would bity if we missed it!”
After a cultivator entered the Heavenly Dipper Realm, their dantian could transform into a Dharma Idol, and their spiritual sense gradually activated soul transformation. After advancing into the Taihang Realm, the soul transformation process sped up, until their cultivation reached the peak of the True Divine Realm.
However, Yang Junshan was shocked to realize that his soul transforming process seemed to have greatly surpassed his usual self!
Although the Pure Spirit Qi saved him the years of hard work in training, and pushed his cultivation all the way to the Taihang Realm, but it was unable to affect his spirit soul transformation. Originally, Yang Junshan thought that he would need to spend a lot of energy to adapt to the process, but he never thought that the speed of his spirit soul transformation would be even faster than the rate of his cultivation.
After thinking about it, Yang Junshan finally put all his doubts onto the Primordial Medallion. More accurately, when he first obtained the Primordial Medallion in the Blue Profound Ruins, a voice that sounded like a great bell suddenly resounded in his mind. He remembered that his consciousness had been messed up into a ball and the intense pain caused him to faint on the spot, and other than that change in events, Yang Junshan could not think of any other reason to speed up the process of soul transformation.
Furthermore, Yang Junshan suspected that it was precisely because of the increase in the speed of the soul transformation that caused him to weaken the abnormal sign that the Taihang Realm upgrade could have. This was why no one had noticed him advancing in his Taihang Realm while he was still under the control of the formation.
Furthermore, the faster the soul transformation, the more likely it would cause Yang Junshan to think that even if he disguised himself as a cultivator with peak Taihang Realm, he might not be seen through.
What made Yang Junshan’s heart move even more was that atop the Sand River formation, with the support of the water channels in the Emerald Lake and the high quality Jade Bead produced in the lake, as well as the thread of Sea Serpent Qi that Yang Junshan had collected, he felt that he might be able to try to play a game with the Purple Wind Sect Cultivators.
