Chapter 402 - Heart's Fire

If one did not look carefully, it was possible to ignore this layer of faint rune. Furthermore, all the rune lines on the ground combined to form a huge complete body, and the stone chamber’s floor, as the object of this entire body, becamuge formation plate.

This was the crux of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Great Protection Array Sky Execution Great Formation!

Yang Junshan immediately realized that his current position was most likely at the most important location of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Since this was the location of the Heaven Slaughter Great Formation’s formation disc, then this must be the reason why the forbidden array was activated.

All of a sudden, all sorts of spirit artifacts, precious techniques and the like were thrown out of the window by Yang Junshan. As long as he could grasp the inheritance of the Great Heaven Punishing Array and crack the forbidden array, all of the things in the Heaven-Shaking Peak would still be left up to his whims and desires.

Yang Junshan wholeheartedly invested himself into the countless runes carved onto the ground beneath his feet. There was no inheritance from the formations, and just this formation disc alone was enough to comprehend the mysteries of the Heaven Punisher Formation, let alone this waop-grade precious array!

However, Yang Junshan seemed to have gone mad, his mind filled with the illusion that the entire Heaven-Shaking Peak had fallen into his control. He observed the formation plate for three days and three nights, but in the end, he had to expend a lot of his energy and blood, and only when he spat out a mouthful of blood did he finally regain clarity.

He quickly gathered his focus and Yang Junshan immediately sat down in the middle of the stone room and started to circulate the [Wutu Spiritual Art]. The stone room was so dense that it seemed to be able to condense liquid spirit energy that flowed into his body like water.

But when Yang Junshan began to immerse himself in cultivation, he did not realize that when his mouthful of blood sprayed onto the ground, a large portion of the gathered spirit energy would rush into Yang Junshan’s body. At the same time, there was also a strand of swirling red mist that was gathering towards the pool of blood on the ground.

Then, the pool of blood turned into numerous blood beads filled with spirit energy, and began to roll around the stone room. Every time a blood bead reached a place, it would seep into the runes on the ground, and gradually, it would form blood-red characters that flickered with spirit energy.

The dense spirit energy caused Yang Junshan’s recovery to be greatly shortened, but the circulation of the “Wutu Spiritual Art” did not stop, on the contrary, the speed of operation became even faster and faster, the endless amount of spirit energy was converted into pent-up earth spirit energy, and after that, it was continuously compressed and purified, until only a small amount of essence was absorbed into the dantian to form the origin essence.

In the past, the process of cultivation would usually take a long time, but this time, the amount of time the Origin Essence condensed would be greatly reduced, and with the increase of the Origin Essence in his dantian, Yang Junshan’s own cultivation had also received a significant increase.

The pleasure of the rapid cultivation increase caused Yang Junshan to be immersed in the process of cultivation, and only when it was extremely difficult for him to resist the exhaustion from his entire body, and when he could no longer concentrate on cultivation, did he finally wake up.

After calculating for a bit, he realized that two months had already passed, which made Yang Junshan a little frustrated. However, after looking at his own cultivation growth, he realised that the effects of two months of closed door cultivation, was equivalent to the effects of a year of normal cultivation, he was surprised.

One had to know that this was the center of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s summit, the location of the Heaven’s Punishment Great Formation array disc, and the place where the spirit river’s essence gathered.

If one were to cultivate in seclusion in such a dense environment of spirit energy, it would inevitably create an unbearable pressure on the body of a cultivator. This meant that Yang Junshan’s body was much stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation level, thus he was able to endure in sucich environment for more than two months.

This was the reason why cultivators had to persevere in cultivating the body refining technique. A tyrannical body was a very necessary aid to a cultivator’s cultivation. Only the stronger the body, the more powerful the cultivator could persevere in a better cultivation environment for a longer period of time.

The current Yang Junshan was extremely exhausted, even if he wanted to leave, he would not be able to do so. In any case, he had already delayed for more than two months, so he might as well rest here for a few days.

Yang Junshan quickly assumed the position of a crouching tiger in the middle of the stone room and started to recover the exhaustion of his flesh according to the Mountain Lord Diagram. At this time, he suddenly realized that the red fog that had covered the stone room had started to disappear without him knowing.

The astonished Yang Junshan looked around the room, and only then did he realise that on the formation plate filled with runes beneath his feet, a large expanse of blood-red words had unknowingly appeared.

These words were based on the patterns on the formation plate, and were formed by the color of blood. The dense, dense, and orderly arrangement of the three thousand or so blood-colored words formed on the true disc beneath his feet, and when Yang Junshan read the text, he was shocked to discover that it was actually an inheritance.

The Blazing Flame Red Lotus waigh-grade precious technique. It was a top-notch technique in the entire Heaven-Shaken Sect, and it could even be said to be an inheritance of the highest quality that could reach the Ascendant level.

There were times when there were no differences in the quality of a cultivation technique’s inheritance. The ranking of a cultivation technique was completely dependent on the person who had cultivated this cultivation technique in the past to reach the highest level.

For example, the Wutu Spiritual Art that Yang Junshan was training in was an extension of a low grade Heaven-Shaken Sect Treasure Inheritance Method, and the reason why the Wutu Secret Art was ranked as a low grade Treasure Incantation was because in history, the cultivation of the people who had cultivated this technique would only be at most at the middle stage of the realms of life, which was also the Profound Constellation Realm.

On the other hand, the advanced cultivation technique Overlapping Earth Art inherited from the Western Mountain Madame Yang was a middle grade treasure art, which meant that there were people who practiced this technique and raised their cultivation to the late stage of realms of life, which also meant that they possessed Heavenly Dipper Realm and even Taihang Realm.

If the “Red Lotus of the Heart Fire” could be called a high-grade treasure cultivation technique, then that meant that someone had once relied on this legacy to peer into the true nature of the Daoist realm!

In Yang Junshan’s previous life, he had never seen more than ten Adept Realm Cultivator, let alone Mortal Realm cultivators.

Yang Junshan did not dare hesitate, because after he stopped cultivating, the blood colored words on the ground were slowly fading, and he anxiously memorized the three thousand words inheritance technique.

It wasn’t until then that Yang Junshan finally remembered these three thousand words on a inheritance jade plate before the writing disappeared. Other than the written words, there was nothing else related to the inheritance of this high-grade treasure manual.

Other than the necessary words to describe the skill, there were also complete notes on the inheritance records. They explained the cultivation experiences, the circulation routes of the Spiritual Energy in the body, and even the photo-inheritance bead s. They were also able to record down the explanations of the cultivation techniques to their descendants in real time.

However, this Red Lotus of the Heart Fire only had the original three thousand words of the cultivation technique, it did not have the experiences left behind by the previous cultivators, nor did it have the descriptions of the circulation path of the cultivation technique. If one wanted to cultivate according to the original text, they would have to rely on the cultivator’s own understanding and comprehension, this way, it would be extremely difficult for him to cultivate this cultivation technique.

Yang Junshan felt that it was slightly strange, thinking that sucigh level inheritance could be found even in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, if he could borrow the Sky Execution Great Formation’s array disc to ingeniously leave behind this inheritance, then the person who left behind this inheritance must be a powerful cultivator of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, so why didn’t he directly leave this legacy to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and use such a method of inheritance instead?

Maybe this was how experts do things, the unfathomable Yang Junshan could only use this reason to convince himself.

To be able to reach this point was already his limit. Moreover, he already possessed a harvest that the entire Yuzhou would be envious of, and it had also delayed him for too long. It was time to leave this place.

After taking away a portion of the Heaven Punishing Great Formation’s runes and symbols with him, Yang Junshan retreated back from the underground cave entrance of the stone room. He then spent a large amount of time on the road to restore the incomplete restrictions along the way, and even used his own expertise in the formation to repair these light curtains as much as possible, making them even more difficult to break through.

On his way back to the underground passage under the fake mountain in the villa, Yang Junshan spent another three to five days. But putting everything aside, just his formation skills alone made Yang Junshan feel that after returning to the Mengyu County, he would have made an extremely significant improvement.

Perhaps he should start preparing for his research on treasure grade arrays now, and there was also the Primary Magnetic Treasure Light Array. On this trip to the Heaven-Shaking Peak, Yang Junshan did not manage to find any clues regarding the inheritance of the formation array as well as the inheritance of the magnetic Treasure Light Technique. Perhaps he should focus his attention on the remaining forces of the Heaven-Shaken Sect that were occupying the Jinyu County.

Using the Earth Escape Technique, Yang Junshan quietly came out from underground under the fake mountain. However, a pungent smell of blood entered his nose.

Yang Junshan was shocked, he realized that in a distant garden, there were a few disciples of the Ouyang Family digging something out on the ground.

Yang Junshan’s heart stirred. He retracted his aura and snuck over, only to discover that a few disciples of the Ouyang Family were throwing skin and bones all over a few dried corpses intole in the ground.

“How many people have we buried already?” A voice asked in a low voice.

“How would I know? Anyway, the bottom of this garden is almost completely buried. Can’t you see that the flowers in this garden are rising quite well?”

“Come on, what’s buried here is just skin and bones, how can they raise flowers? With so many people dead, our place will be discovered sooner or later, isn’t this too cruel? You say that the ‘Blood Sucking Secret Technique’ is really that magical, can it help us to break through our martial arts realm? ”

“Don’t worry, how many people are coming and going in Yu Cheng today? It is said that people die every day in Heaven-Shaking Peak, so no one will notice it here. As for the secret technique that the First Young Master passed down, hehe, let me tell you, I will break through martial arts realm in these few days! ”

Looking at the garden that was filled with all sorts of beautiful flowers, Yang Junshan suddenly felt that this garden had gained a trace of a sinister aura. Yang Junshan quietly retreated and left the villa.
