Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 180: This cave belongs to Yun Zhongzi
Xiong Daoren couldn’t help admiring the cave master’s techniques for designing such a hidden formation.
Surprisingly, it was that sword that served as the condition for triggering the sealing formation. As long as one carried the sword away from here, the formation’s seal would be triggered. Otherwise, it would remain hidden, a most ingenious design.
He hadn’t even realized it in his carelessness!
Though he could replicate this kind of formation through the inheritance of Divine Skills, he would never have such unique ideas if it were up to him to create one.
Why didn’t you say so earlier and spare me the fright!
Tian Peng secretly sighed with relief, his expression still calm.
However, Xiong Daoren’s next words once again sent Tian Peng’s heart into his throat.
"But the restriction of this formation is far too powerful; with my cultivation level, I can’t hold off the Sealing Formation."
Xiong Daoren’s brow was deeply furrowed as he struggled fiercely.
Damn it!
So why don’t you run?
With his back to Xiong Daoren, Tian Peng’s face paled with fear, trembling and cursing himself for not running away on the spot!
"I’ve infused mana to reinforce the Sealing Formation, and though I can’t completely seal off the transfer of the restriction, it should hold for roughly half an incense stick’s time!"
Xiong Daoren’s voice was weak as he staggered to his feet.
His mana was too depleted, and the gap between his cultivation and that of the person who cast the formation was too vast!
Can’t you say everything all at once?
Tian Peng’s face was streaked with annoyance; his heart felt like a pebble being tossed back and forth by a child—its erratic movement was too excruciating.
Grabbing Xiong Daoren’s shoulder to steady him, Tian Peng solemnly said, "Today, my mood for fighting isn’t great. Since we have obtained what we desired, we had better leave swiftly."
"If it were another day, I might’ve toyed with them for a bit!"
Xiong Daoren nodded vigorously, taking Tian Peng’s words to heart. Even Yang Jian, a Daluo Golden Immortal, was no match for Peng unless Peng showed mercy to save face.
If they encountered another Daluo Golden Immortal, what of it? They would still be no match for Peng, and upsetting Peng would not end well for them.
The man and the bear both fled the cave abode.
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Guangchengzi, the leader of the twelve Golden Immortals, was frowning deeply at the chess match before him. After a long while, he shook his head helplessly and said, "In the end, it seems my uncle still surpasses me by one move!"
"I concede."
Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard with a smile, "You must have let me win on purpose. Otherwise, with you as my equal in this chess match, we would never finish the game."
Guangchengzi smiled faintly without denying it. With a wave of his hand, he tidily collected all the chess pieces and board.
"Uncle, how is the replica of the Executioner Immortal Four Sword coming along?" Guangchengzi asked curiously after a thoughtful pause.
Although he was the leader of the twelve Golden Immortals, within the Chan School, there were those of higher seniority than him apart from his master.
Uncle Yun Zhongzi, for example, was of a higher generation. He was the reincarnation of the ancient power, Ancestor Hongyun, rightly deserving the honorific ’uncle’.
Uncle Yun Zhongzi possessed a high gift for Artifact Refining, especially adept at replicating Magical Treasures.
He had even borrowed the Executioner Immortal Sword from him before, claiming it was for some power test and to inspect the sword’s shape and size.
Upon hearing this, a hint of pride shone in Yun Zhongzi’s eyes.
"I don’t mean to boast, nephew, but my replica of the Executioner Immortal Four Sword is just one step away from completion. I’ve placed them in the furnace and am smelting them with Samadhi True Fire; give it a few more days, and they’ll be finished."
Guangchengzi nodded in admiration. "No wonder you had time to come and play chess with me."
He had been wondering just that!
"Playing chess was indeed because I wanted to exchange a few moves with my nephew," Yun Zhongzi laughed heartily.
"Uncle," Guangchengzi hesitated briefly, then continued, "how powerful will this replicated Executioner Immortal Four Sword be?"
"It will definitely reach the level of a Quasi-Saint-grade Magical Treasure," Yun Zhongzi asserted confidently.
To perfect this treasure, it wasn’t just the Executioner Immortal Sword that he had borrowed; he had also taken the Trap Immortal Sword, the Lingering Immortal Sword, and the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Every inch of the Magical Treasure was polished with countless efforts from him.
He ensured a one-to-one replica, with every function identical. Although in terms of tier, it still couldn’t compare to the original Executioner Immortal Four Swords.
After all, the Executioner Immortal Four Swords were among the top-tier treasures in the Three Realms.
Yun Zhongzi mysteriously extended four fingers, "If I could possess the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation Map, then the Executioner Immortal Four Swords I refine could also complete the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation. Once deployed, facing four Quasi-Saints alone will not be a difficult task."
Yun Zhongzi spoke with conviction, stemming from his years of persistence in mastering the Artifact Refining Technique.
Four Quasi-Saints?!
Guangchengzi was taken aback by the impressive power.
The authentic Executioner Immortal Sword Formation once deployed could allow a Saint to face four of equal realms.
But such a thing was not something common folk could set up.
If people like them, at the Quasi-Saint level, tried to set it up, their mana would be exhausted in a matter of moments.
If Senior Brother’s replica of the Executioner Immortal Swords truly had such an effect, then it would indeed be extraordinarily useful.
After all, the positions of a Saint were filled, with no possibility for further Becoming a Saint.
And now that the Saints of the Three Realms could not take action, it could be said that Quasi-Saints were at the pinnacle of combat power.
If there were also Senior Brother’s replica of the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation in addition, it would indeed be undefeated in this world.
Thinking this, Guangchengzi’s tone carried a hint of regret, "But the Formation Map of the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation remains in the hands of Teacher Tongtian."
After the war of Divine Enthronement, Jie School had been hit hard; Teacher Tongtian must harbour deep hatred for him, let alone the possibility of lending them the Executioner Immortal Formation Map.
His regret was not because of intensified conflicts with Jie School.
After all, this was the calamity of Divine Enthronement, either you die or I die, "May my fellow Daoist die instead of me," it could only be them who ends up on the list.
It was due to the frustration that, since the Executioner Immortal Four Swords had been obtained, why didn’t his master and the others also take the Formation Map altogether?
"Yes indeed!" Yun Zhongzi sighed deeply as well.
In this way, his replica of the Executioner Immortal Four Swords was not perfected, lacking the Formation Map, the power would be greatly discounted.
They could only be treated as ordinary Sword Art Quasi-Saint level Magical Treasures.
Picking up the tea on the table, Yun Zhongzi tilted his head back to drink, but suddenly, he was stunned.
"Puh!"
The tea was spat out onto Guangchengzi.
Shock filled Yun Zhongzi’s eyes, his Array had been broken?!
"Uncle Master you!"
Guangchengzi, caught off guard, his clothes soaked with tea, immediately jumped up, his face unsightly.
"Nephew! I apologize, I have an urgent matter, I must take my leave first!" Yun Zhongzi bowed, his face showing urgency.
His replica of the Executioner Immortal Four Swords was just short of the final step, and nothing could go wrong!
He had thought that setting up an Array would be foolproof, yet he never imagined someone would dare to be so audacious in his cave abode!
And they had even triggered the hidden seals he had placed within the Executioner Immortal Four Swords!
"Uncle Master, please do as you must."
Guangchengzi’s face was still not very pleasant, which was understandable, as anyone would be helpless if subjected to such an unwarranted situation out of the blue.
But Yun Zhongzi could no longer care about that; his entire being transformed into a streak of flowing light and quickly fled into the distance.
Guangchengzi remained silent for a few moments, muttering doubtfully, "Uncle Master is really being incomprehensible."
Yun Zhongzi sped from Jade Void Palace at an extraordinary pace, the full speed of a Quasi-Saint could be imagined.
In just a few breaths’ time, he had already returned to his Jade Column Cave.
Seeing the wide-open entrance of the cave, even he, known as the Fortune Virtue Golden Immortal with an excellent disposition, couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration rise in him, this was too bullying!
The Array he had meticulously set up had been broken without alerting him, the Taoist Practice of this person was definitely extraordinary!
