Chapter 810: Entry
Is this the spatial transportation technique you came up with? Liu Qinglan was the first to ask and she did so in front of everyone present. She seemed a little confused. It can actually conceal spatial fluctuations to such an extent
Shang Xia chuckled in response, Instructor Liu, you might not know, but this isnt a mere transportation technique! Its my Water Movement Art!
After he spoke, he waved his arm before him and water qi started to condense to form faint traces of cloud qi.
Water Movement Art? Yun Jing fell into contemplation. I heard that youve been working on a movement art and your evasion talismans for a whole year. You even messed with all the Talisman Masters in the Talisman Hall to the point they were slightly traumatized. Is this Water Movement Art related to your Five Element Movement Art?
Shang Xia chuckled in response, Disciple originally came up with it after a stroke of inspiration and I was merely thinking of looking for more methods for the disciples of our Tongyou Institution to preserve their lives.
As the head of the Outreach Division and a deputy patriarch of the institution, Yun Jing would be the one in charge of matters regarding the institution in Kou Chongxues absence. As such, she had long since learned about what happened in the Talisman Hall.
However, she could feel that Shang Xia was hiding something and she stifled a smile and asked, If thats what you came up with originally, what happened next?
After realizing what the Hidden Wind Fate Dipper could do, I started to think if I could create a movement art that could avoid detection by high-level experts. After that, I thought about the heavy restrictions that would exist in many hidden and forbidden regions and hiding from everyone didnt really matter. As long as I managed to enter the region without causing the restrictions or formations to activate, that would be considered true skill
Shang Xias sentence wasnt even complete when the faces of everyone present changed.
If he was truly able to come up with such a strange and mystical movement art, there would be nothing holding him back! Nothing would be hidden from him!
Yun Jings eyebrows twitched and she muttered, Are you sure youre able to come up with a skill like that?
How is that possible Shang Xia chuckled.
Liu Zhiyuan sucked in a long breath and laughed, Thats what I thought. How can there be such an amazing movement art in the world
None of the others could continue, and all of them could tell that Shang Xia hadnt finished what he was saying. Seeing as no one was backing him up, Liu Zhiyuans expression turned unsightly.
Shang Xia continued, Its not possible to pass through formations and restrictions without anyone noticing. However, if its just passing through them without causing them to activate, its not entirely impossible.
They finally realized what he was talking about. He was confident that his movement art would be able to pass through restrictions without activating them. However, he wasnt sure if the person who laid it down would be able to discover him.
Yun Jing asked with a tinge of worry, Wouldnt that mean that when you pass through the restrictions, you will alert the patriarch?
The higher-ups of the institution were gathered there in order to force open Kou Chongxues cultivation grounds. The only thing they were gathered for was to discuss the method they should use to do it. From the looks of it, no matter what they concluded, Shang Xia was going to be the one to carry it out.
Hearing Yun Jings worry, Shang Xia forced a smile and chuckled helplessly, If Patriarch Kou really is inside, it doesnt matter what method we use. We will definitely affect him. Do you really think all of us have a way to avoid his senses?
Shang Lubing interrupted all of a sudden, Wouldnt that mean that you think he isnt in there anymore?
I have no evidence to back my guess up. Shang Xia muttered after some time.
Bu Jingshuang frowned as he asked, If your conjecture is correct, why would he leave without telling us?
Shang Xia shook his head and sighed, Im afraid only Patriarch Kou will be able to tell us his reason. However, the deputy patriarchs and I have some guesses. Its possible that the matter relates to the Elysiums No To be exact, it might be related to the Sixth Order existences.
Everyone felt their hearts thumping heavily. No one present would misunderstand what Shang Xia meant by that. Even Liu Zhiyuan, who wished nothing more than to doubt Shang Xia, understood that those Sixth Order existences wouldnt be wishing Kou Chongxue well.
Shang Lubing and Bu Jingshuang glanced at each other once and no longer spoke. It seemed as though they were planning to leave the decision of opening Kou Chongxues cultivation grounds to someone else.
Glancing at the deputy patriarchs, Liu Qinglan eventually spoke. The patriarch spent tens of years nurturing the Tongyou Institution with his blood and sweat. Now that he left without so much as a word, that can only mean one thing. He doesnt wish to trouble us.
Liu Zhiyuan couldnt help but add, If we barge in right now, would we be affecting his original plans?
Shang Bo mumbled softly, Regardless of whether hes in there or not, we have no choice but to enter and see for ourselves.
When he saw the looks of confusion he was getting, Shang Bo explained, The 20 year mark is approaching and its time for the Celestial Remains to open once again.
Everyone present was someone important in the institution or closely related to Kou Chongxue. All of them knew about the existence of the Starry Marsh Elysiums remains, and they knew that every faction would send their experts into it every 20 years.
Ji Wenlong muttered, If Little Xias guess is correct, they will be able to discover the strangeness behind Patriarch Kous disappearance when they enter.
Is his disappearance related to the Celestial Remains? Bu Jingshuang asked in surprise.
Shang Xia was the one who replied this time. There is a Star Observatory within the Celestial Remains, and there might be some clues there. If Patriarch Kou really left for the vast sea of stars, it would definitely be related to the Observatory. He might even need to use it in order to return. Also, when Patriarch Kou and I entered in the past, he managed to discover something really important. Even though he appeared during the battle, he didnt bring it out. Now that the Celestial Remains is opening again, we cannot allow the treasure to fall into the hands of others!
Bu Jingshuang sighed, Looks like we have no choice. We have to forcefully enter his cultivation grounds.
Yun Jing followed up immediately. We will waste too much time if we try to break it slowly. We can only go with Little Xias plan.
She turned to Shang Xia after she spoke. Try it out and see if your movement art can allow you to enter the cultivation grounds. If its not possible, we can only use the other method you came up with and destroy it from the outside.
The other method she was talking about was the one Shang Xia came up with initially. He would batter the restrictions with his Five Element Dipper Qi and wear down the energy it contained before finally canceling it out.
Chu Jia already laid down a concealment formation around the entire region. It would ensure that the disturbance caused by Shang Xia wouldnt propagate outwards and cause a huge ruckus. As such, the disciples of the institution wouldnt know what had happened.
Shang Xia nodded once and swept his gaze across everyone before muttering softly, Ill be off!
After he spoke, a soft gray mist surrounded him as he disappeared into it.
Shang Xia glanced at the mist that was dissipating slowly and sighed, This should be the Earth Movement Art he mentioned before, right?
Shang Lubing hesitated slightly and asked, Is there a difference between the Earth Movement Art and the others?
The person who replied to him wasnt the deputy patriarchs. Instead, it was the Formation Grandmaster, Chu Jia. From what he says, the Five Element Movement Art can be split into 3 different grades. They can be known to be of the third, fourth, or fifth rank. The lowest ranked movement art of the third rank doesnt really differ much to the rank five movement art. The only difference is the distance he can travel with it and apparently, he will be able to move through the earth or rocks
After she spoke, Chu Jia shook her head and she didnt seem too sure of what she was saying either. Soon after, she continued, However, the rank three Five Element Movement Art needs to be activated through some sort of medium. It might be a lot more discreet, but its not too convenient to use. After advancing to the fourth rank, one would no longer be reliant on the medium. They would be able to activate the movement art as long as there is any sort of Five Element Qi. Well As for the fifth rank Things will become extremely mystical. According to what he says, the moment a rank five Five Element Movement Art is activated, nothing will be able to stop him!
What an exaggerated statement!
That was what everyone thought. However, no one would speak it out loud at the moment. Not Liu Zhiyuan, who disliked Shang Xia the most of everyone present, nor Shang Bo, someone of the older generation.
No matter what they thought, they realized something after Shang Xia slayed Feng Yezi. In the Tongyou Institution, there was no one who was more qualified to speak about matters regarding cultivation with the exception of Kou Chongxue.
Yun Jing regained her calm expression by then and she muttered, Alright. Lets wait for him to do his thing.
When everyone was feeling uneasy about what was going on with the matter regarding Kou Chongxues cultivation grounds, Shang Xia stared at his surroundings while shaking his head helplessly.
Turning to look at the complicated and powerful restrictions around his cultivation grounds, no one would think that it was a mere dud.
Of course, it was so convincing that even Chu Jia couldnt see through it. Everyone in the Tongyou Institution was spending their time racking their brains while wondering if they should break through forcefully.
After Shang Xia passed through the restrictions easily, he could tell that Kou Chongxue was not located within without even going to where Kou Chongxue was supposed to be. At the very least, his true body wasnt there.
Coughing lightly, the sound transmitted to the depths of the cultivation grounds.
Even though Shang Xia was sure Kou Chongxue wasnt present, he couldnt help but give a proper greeting before walking deeper.
As the echoes of his voice rang through the area, Shang Xia could tell that Kou Chongxue was so lazy that he didnt even bother laying down restrictions that stopped sound transmission.
Shang Xias divine will extended deeper and it quickly reached the deepest point. To his surprise, he discovered someone. Or to be more exact, he discovered a figure.
Huh? Shang Xia felt his heart tighten for a moment. He regained his calm the next moment as he continued to make his way deeper without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Standing before the figure, Shang Xia could easily tell that it was Kou Chongxue despite the darkness that shrouded them. Shifting his gaze slightly to look at the figures chest, Shang Xia could see a dull yellow ball of light glowing softly.
Grunting softly, he released his Five Element Dipper Qi and it resonated with the dull yellow light.
Indeed Shang Xia muttered to himself as the dipper qi around him started to transform. Eventually, a pure strand of dipper qi that shone the same color fused with the ball of light in the figures chest.
The glow disappeared with an explosive bang and it seemed to come to life. The figure started to condense to form a clone of Kou Chongxue. Opening his eyes slowly, he glanced at Shang Xia before asking his first question. How long have I been asleep?
