Outside of the Yellow Earth Abyss, An Dapu retracted the divine intent he released and looked at Yang Xuanji: “Nine Heavens Transforming World, the sea of origin will probably be released in a few days.”
Yang Xuanji linked several formation restrictions on the ground together using ingenious means, causing the defensive power of the residual array to increase by 30% once it recovered.
Seeing that, An Dapu could not help but praise: “What a brilliant array technique. With Fellow cultivator Xuan Ji’s array techniques and attainments, I think you have probably reached the Grandmaster Realm, right?”
Yang Xuanji looked at An Dapu and smiled: “I didn’t expect that the Immortal Lord would be so knowledgeable in arrays, the poison array in the abyss is created by the Immortal, from what I see, the Immortal Lord should at least be called an Array Master.”
Hearing that, An Dapu laughed out loud, and said: “Fellow Daoist Arcanum is too kind, I know my own clan, I only know the basics of array formations, I am at best an array master, but as for this poison formation, most of the times it is just following the rules of the array, relying on my cultivation to forcefully arrange it, I am truly not worthy of the title of master.”
Yang Xuanji laughed bitterly when he heard that: “That’s right, no matter how good a formation master is, or how profound the formation techniques are, they also need to match up to their cultivation level.
An Dapu pointed to the repaired array formation that Yang Xuanji had just completed and asked: This is to stop the leakage of the origin energy, how long can this last for?
Yang Xuanji said confidently: “At least before the Sea of Origin appears, you don’t have to worry about it dispersing from here.”
An Dapu let out a sigh of relief when he heard that, and said: “That’s good, a few days ago there were people scouting around the vicinity of the Thousand Poison Sect. Presumably, there were people who had already sensed something, but as long as no source energy is leaked, these people wouldn’t dare come to the sect to cause trouble.”
Yang Xuanji looked at An Dapu and laughed: Even if the array here is repaired, the Sea of Origin will still burst out in a few days, the only difference is how long can it last. You sent the several elite disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect into the abyss, and you still have your little brother inside, aren’t you afraid that something might happen when the time comes?
An Dapu laughed without care: “All twenty odd cultivators of the Yang family are inside, what danger can there be? Even if there is danger, I will accept it! ”
Yang Xuanji laughed and did not say anymore, but continued to repair the residual array in the abyss. After a while, he suddenly spoke without thinking, “You have good eyes!”
The words did not seem to have anything to do with it, but An Dapu understood them well. His face was suddenly covered in a smile, and he said: “You flatter me.”
Meanwhile, at the crack in the space near the bottom of the abyss.
Yang Lizhao who had just woken up from his cultivation saw a smiling face looking at him.
Seeing him wake up, An Er walked up to him with a smile. He held an incense burner in his hand and asked: “Young Noble, have you been cultivating successfully? This Spirit Cultivating Fragrance is a special product of the Nine Heavens. It is useful for cultivators to nurture their primordial spirit, to quickly meditate, and to raise their comprehension.
Yang Lizhao was slightly startled, but during the period of quiet training, he felt that he had gained a lot, and that the efficiency of his cultivation had increased a lot, so he smiled: “Thank you, fellow cultivator An, but I believe this spiritual incense will be extremely difficult to obtain, right?”
An Er replied without thinking, “As long as it’s useful to young master, it’s nothing.”
Yang Lizhao smiled, he more or less understood that the other party must have already guessed his identity, but the other party did not hide his intentions of fawning on his, and the spirit-nourishing incense was also extremely effective, so he nodded slightly and laughed: “Thank you!”
Seeing that Yang Lizhao did not reject, An Er was immediately overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ning Bin walking over from a distance. After putting down the censer, he bowed towards Yang Lizhao and prepared to leave.
Ning Bin only glanced at An Er from afar, but did not try to hide anything, and directly asked Yang Lizhao: “Zhe’er, how are your preparations? After the Sea of Origin appears, are you confident enough to ascend to the Immortal Realm? ”
Yang Lizhao was very respectful to Ning Bin, when he saw him walk over, he quickly greeted him and laughed: “This period of time is pretty fulfilling, I think I have a sixty to seventy percent chance of winning.”
Ning Bin nodded with a “Wu” sound, and said: “Then it’s wortry, after all, this is a rare opportunity.”
Yang Lizhao then asked, “Is Elder Ning absolutely certain that she will be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm this time?”
“We will only know about it after the appearance of the Sea of Origin.”
Ning Bin laughed, then asked: “I always wanted to ask you, didn’t you just find traces of Zhang Yueming, and chased him all the way to Liang Zhou, how did you suddenly return here?”
Yang Lizhao didn’t really know much about the matter with the Heaven-Shaken Sect back then, but he was roughly aware that there might be some sort of relationship between Ning Bin and himself, so he said: “To be honest, I couldn’t hide it from you, that after catching up to him in the Liang Zhou, I had the upper hand in a battle and destroyed one of his Spirit Sealing Puppet, I thought that his power was going to be severely damaged, but afterwards, I secretly suffered losses due to carelessness.
Ning Bin did not seem to be surprised by Yang Lizhao’s situation, and nodded: “That Zhang Yueming was, after all, able to be as famous and outstanding as your grandfather in his youth, and has now wasted several hundred years under the Immortal Sect. His cultivation has been refined to the point of being number one under the Immortal Realm, so it’s not shameful for you to suffer a loss in his hands.”
Yang Lizhao laughed bitterly: “Even though this is the case, after that battle, this junior clearly recognized himself. That’s why I made up my mind, and strived to ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible.”
Ning Bin then asked: “Then what about Zhang Yueming? After Celestial Sovereign Ying Qi appeared, did he kill his? ”
Yang Lizhao shook his head, looking somewhat baffled: “After your Celestial Sovereign Ying Qi appeared, there seemed to be a Great Divine Cultivator from the Silent Heavenly Star Realm following him. At that time, the situation was urgent, and after obtaining victory, the Celestial Sovereign let this junior leave first, this junior also knew that staying there could only become a burden, so I returned to the Western Mountain Star Palace first.”
“As for that Zhang Yueming, he doesn’t seem to have died. Not long after this junior returned to the Western Mountain, news came back from the Celestial Sovereign that he won. It seems like he discovered an extremely important inheritance of the Rigid Race and needed to return to the Silent Heavenly Star Realm.”
“So that’s the case. No wonder…”
Ning Bin seemed to have thought about it, and after a moment, he looked straight at Yang Lizhao: “If there’s a chance, tell your grandfather, remind him that Zhang Yueming is not dead yet …”
At this time, An Er had already walked far away. Ning Bin took a glance in the direction he left in and naturally changed the topic.
Just as Yang Lizhao was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and suddenly, the entire yellow abyss began to shake violently, and countless of broken stones and soil fell off from the cliffs on both sides of the abyss. As the dust flew in the air, the entire yellow abyss was dyed with a layer of dense black yellow.
“The Sea of Origin has appeared, be careful …”
Ning Bin’s voice reverberated throughout the entire abyss.
The surging black and yellow waves gushed out from the bottom of the abyss like surging tides. However, they were randomly smashed into pieces in front of the Spiritual Light Barrier.
Outside the abyss, An Dapu looked at the dark yellow origin energy below the abyss that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it attacked the imprisonment array. He asked Yang Xuanji who was beside him somewhat nervously, “Dao Friend Xuanji, how much longer do you think we can endure?”
“It won’t last long!”
Yang Xuanji looked at the Poison Formation beneath his feet that had just changed its name. Then, he looked at An Dapu who was beside him and asked in surprise: “Wouldn’t An Xian take this opportunity to absorb the Poison Formation?”
An Dapu laughed: “My cultivation has only advanced for a short period of time, even with the help of the Sea of Origin, I still cannot make a qualitative change in a short period of time, so I will leave this chance to the people in the abyss.”
Yang Xuanji laughed, “I do not want An Xian to use her cultivation method, but to have the Immortal Monarch absorb and store the Origin Qi first. This way, it can at least delay the impact of the black and yellow origin on the Imprisoning Formation, and the longer the Sea of Origin appears, the more beneficial it will be for us!”
Without a doubt, in front of such a great power, even an immortal existence like An Dapu would inevitably have a muddled mind for a moment, and in terms of adaptability, he was not even as experienced as Yang Xuanji, who cultivated the way he cultivated.
Seeing another wave with a dark yellow origin energy rushing over, An Dapu flung the cloak behind him. The cloak rolled over the wave, causing it to weaken by a third, causing the impact to be greatly reduced.
However, before An Dapu could heave a sigh of relief, a huge wave of yellow and black rose up from the depths of the abyss, surging outwards witoll. It seemed to be even more turbulent than the previous giant wave.
At this time, An Dapu’s expression couldn’t help but change. As the cloak spun in the air above the abyss, it continuously absorbed the source of energy from the huge waves. At the same time, it shouted at Yang Xuanji, “It’s all up to you!”
Yang Xuanji’s expression was equally solemn, if this wave were to really collide with it, the imprisonment array around the entrance of the abyss would probably be one-third destroyed.
Just when Yang Xuanji was considering opening an opening to releasortion of his Innate Qi to weaken the Sea of Origin’s impact on the Imprisoning Formation, all of a sudden, the huge wave of Source Energy that was surging suddenly caved in towards the center. About half of the Source Sea of Clouds retreated back into the abyss, allowing the Imprisoning Formation to avoid the result of being destroyed once again.
“What’s going on?”
Yang Xuanji asked An Dapu with an expression of lingering fear.
An Dapu pointed to the depths of the abyss, and said: “Someone has ascended to the Immortal Realm!”
