Chapter 834: Opening Again Hehe
“Did the members of your Yuanchen Sect not discover the Origin Holy Artifact?”
Huang Jing and Jiu Du faced each other at the edge of the forbidden region, and behind them stood Pang Jingyun and Jiu Qi respectively. Both of them remained silent as they stood behind the true experts of their faction.
Huang Jinghan mumbled, “There’s no need to worry. Junior Xinlan holds the advantage as she went in earlier.”
Jiu Du’s gaze swept across the forbidden region and muttered, “Brother Huang, didn’t you feel that earlier? The density of world origin around us is starting to rise. I suspect...”
Before he was done, they raised their heads in unison and stared at a certain spot in the void. Pang Jingyun and Jiu Qi didn’t seem to feel anything off, but noticing Huang Jinghan and Jiu Du’s reaction, they prepared for battle. Who would have thought that both of them would turn to stare at each other with a raised eyebrow after shooting a cold glance into the void?
“Northern Sea?”
“It’s definitely Lu Wuzi...”
“I heard that the old ancestor of the Northern Sea Mystic Sect discovered the existence of our Azure Origin World back then with the use of a certain treasure. Could it be...”
“If it’s really that treasure, it's something comparable to an Origin Holy Artifact! Even Lu Wuzi wouldn’t be able to bring a treasure of that level out easily. Moreover, he shouldn’t be discovered by us so easily.”
“Is that a fake?”
“Probably... However, it’s most definitely an impressive treasure.”
Their communication took barely a second, and Huang Jinghan chuckled the next moment, “Anyway, the density of world origin is definitely increasing. Where are the members of the Eternal Palace anyway?”
“They entered another forbidden region and seemed to have discovered something.” Jiu Du muttered.
It was then that Jiu Qi spoke up. “There seems to be some transformation in the depths of the forbidden region. The restrictions seem to be recovering with the sudden increase in world origin...”
Pang Jingyun also added, “The world origin pouring out from the depths of the forbidden region seems to be flowing at a certain rate, but we are unable to discover the source...”
Actually, Huang Jinghan and Jiu Du discovered what they had described even earlier.
“Brother Huang, from the looks of it, there are changes happening to the interior of the forbidden region. The little kid from the Shang Clan seems to have overtaken your disciple...” Jiu Du spoke suddenly.
Without a change in expression, Huang Jinghan muttered, “Why can’t the disciple of my Yuanchen Sect be the first to arrive?”
With a faint smile on his face, Jiu Du continued, “Brother Huang, stop being delusional. If the disciple of your sect entered, why wouldn’t they send a transmission out to you?”
“They might have been held down by some matters and failed to send the transmission. After all, none of us knows what is in the depths of the forbidden region...” Huang Jinghan muttered casually.
The next second, Jiu Du continued, “Oh right, Brother Huang, I heard that the female cultivator you guys accepted was from the Jiao Continent, and she only entered your Yuanchen Sect recently?”
Not a trace of emotion could be seen on Huang Jinghan’s face as he replied, “Brother Jiu Du, you seem to know quite a lot.”
“Brother Huang, aren’t you afraid that she will have other thoughts and will be trying to keep the treasure for herself?” Jiu Du threw out a bomb at him.
With a placid expression, Huang Jinghan mumbled, “Nope.”
Nodding slightly to signify his understanding, Jiu Du seemingly believed Huang Jinghan as he turned to say his goodbyes.
It was then when the world origin pouring out from the depths of the forbidden region increased in density yet again. It reached the point where world origin seemed to condense into a small stream that flowed thousands of feet before disappearing into the void.
“Brother Huang, we can’t wait any longer!” Jiu Du’s voice rang through the skies suddenly.
“Buzz... Clang!”
The wind whistled as Jiu Du drew his sword. Jiu Qi and Pang Jingyun took 2 steps back in fright, and heavy expressions appeared on their faces.
Huang Jinghan stood his ground, but as he heard the ringing from Jiu Du’s sword growing more and more intense, he eventually muttered, “Fine...”
It was then that a miraculous scene emerged from the depths of the forbidden region. Space started to fold, but it was unable to hide the five colored light pillar that emerged.
“Oh no! Attack!”
...
Outside the hidden valley, Chu Jia shrank the barrier to only cover 5 miles. The entire region outside of that was covered in a layer of white mist as Mister Han Mo was pressing closer and closer to the members of the Tongyou Institution.
“How long can we hold out for?” Liu Qinglan maintained her calm, even though she was enduring the greatest pressure against their enemy.
Chu Jia’s voice came from behind one of the hills behind her. “Relax. It’s not going to be so easy for him to shatter this grandaunt’s formation!”
Despite what she said, Liu Qinglan and the rest could hear how tired she was from her tone.
Her formation might be able to hold a Martial Dipper Realm expert back, but no one knew how long they would be able to hold out for.
Moreover, they were in a pretty barren location and the heaven and earth qi around them was pretty sparse. She couldn’t place down any sort of special formation while everything was taking place, and she could only use essence crystals to ensure the formation remained in operation.
“Heh, you even have the guts to call yourself that in front of me...” Liu Qinglan mumbled softly. She might be grumbling, but she didn’t remain idle. She worked together with Sun Haiwei as they exchanged blows with the Martial Dipper Realm expert with the assistance of the formation.
Tian Mengzi, who was gasping for breath, stared at Dou Zhong who was focused on restoring his energy the best he could and teased, “Little Dou Zhong, what the hell did you do to anger that asshole out there such that he would want to kill all of us?”
Dou Zhong, who was focused on recovering, opened his eyes and scattered the dust in his hand after he absorbed all the energy from the essence crystal he was holding. He took out his Spatial Pouch and revealed the thick bronze book. “Here. This is what I obtained.”
Tian Mengzi stared at the bronze book that was a foot long and 7 inches wide. It was also 3 inches thick and he slowly picked it up from the ground. He felt its weight and realized that it wasn’t made from ordinary bronze.
Examining it several times, Tian Mengzi raised his head in confusion. “I can’t open it?”
A helpless sigh came from Dou Zhong. “I tried everything I could, and I can’t open it either. Maybe, only someone in the Martial Dipper Realm will be able to open the book. Anyway, it fell through the spatial cracks earlier, but it didn’t seem to suffer any damage...”
Tian Mengzi didn’t wait for him to finish when he tossed the book back at him. “Keep it for now. It’s no wonder you would be targeted by that Martial Dipper Realm expert. I’ll head out there to help the rest hold him off. You’re up next! Hurry up and recover!”
As soon as he spoke, he rose into the air and flew towards the corner of the formation.
Dou Zhong looked at the book in his hand and sighed, “Let’s just hope you’re worth the risk I took...”
Keeping the book, Dou Zhong suppressed the intense fluctuations in his heart before taking out 2 more essence crystals.
When he was fully focused on circulating his rank four arts, he discovered that the speed at which his inner qi could circulate had increased by 30 percent. It wasn’t because of the essence crystals he was holding. Instead, he felt the density of heaven and earth qi in the air increasing.
“What’s going on? Do you guys feel that?!” Chu Jia’s voice came from behind the hill again.
As a Formation Grandmaster, Chu Jia was extremely sensitive to heaven and earth qi. She quickly discovered the change around her.
Yan Ming burst out from the valley and yelled, “Oh no! There’s going to be a tide of heaven and earth qi soon!”
“Quick, retreat! Remain within 3 miles from my formation!” Chu Jia exclaimed.
The trust those of the Tongyou Institution had for each other was high. Liu Qinglan, Sun Haiwei, and Tian Mengzi didn’t hesitate when they heard her warning. They didn’t bother questioning anything as they quickly retreated.
Obviously, Mister Han Mo wouldn’t allow them to get away so easily. He set his sights on Liu Qinglan and he tapped the air before him. Even though his attack was weakened greatly by the mist around him, it managed to shatter Liu Qinglan’s Extermination Qi Protection Barrier and slammed heavily into her back.
“Pfft...” A blood mist emerged from her lips, but she could at least resist the injuries she received.
The sudden change in heaven and earth qi couldn’t be hidden from the Martial Dipper Realm expert, and he quickly discovered the abnormality. He could see that the formation on the other side was starting to be greatly weakened.
With a trace of joy in his heart, he took a step forward. However, he seemed to have discovered something else the next moment as he turned his head to stare in another direction. He noticed a strange sight appearing from another region of the Celestial Remains.
A curtain of five colored light shot straight up into the void, forming a magnificent sight!
...
In the observatory...
The Lightning Bird stood on a branch of the Starry Tree, but it started to flap its wings and cry loudly. It interrupted Kou Chongxue’s clone from studying the semi-complete inheritance.
With a look of confusion on his face, the clone turned to stare at the Lightning Bird. He noticed an unnatural fluctuation in the starlight falling from above and the glow that surrounded the Starry Tree became a lot more illusory than before.
“This... What happened?!” The clone approached the tree in confusion. He could feel the falling starlight, but he was unable to make use of it like the Lightning Bird.
“Chirp, chirp!” The Lightning Bird signaled for him to look at the ground below.
When the clone lowered his head to take a look, he discovered that the Star Essence Waterbeneath him was starting to ripple.
It seemed to be flowing elsewhere?
A solemn expression appeared on the clone’s face, and he quickly discovered where it was flowing towards. At the same time, a small spatial crack formed not too far away from the platform and Star Essence Water fell into the void from the crack.
When the clone was wondering if it should get rid of the crack, the observatory started to shake as yells of delight came from below.
No longer caring about erasing the spatial crack that was formed, Kou Chongxue’s clone stared through the crack and noticed that the restrictions on the outer layer of the Ruined Observatory were starting to crumble. He could also feel the presence of Star Essence Water there.
He seemed to realize where the liquid was flowing to the next moment. However, a loud cry came from behind him, catching his attention again.
When Kou Chongxue’s clone raised his head, he heard the sound of gushing water from where the Hidden Frost Sword had stabbed into the platform. A five colored light quickly emerged and filled the space they were in.
