Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 318 - 123: Foundation Establishment Peak

"Such a gigantic divine statue, if built in a Taoist temple, imagine how much spiritual energy from mortals it could harvest, quite a spectacle!"

In the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic and the Divine Statue Hall, Mo Sha stood before the enormous Divine Lady statue, clicking his tongue in admiration.

Half an incense stick ago, Mo Sha, Ling, and three Golden Core powerhouses wearing Fog-Breaking Armor traversed the Desolate Mist, searching for half a day, finally discovering the relic’s entrance in a secluded valley.

The array on those stone doors was evidently broken by someone, making Mo Sha extremely pleased; it indicated Yun Wu had indeed escaped into this relic.

Entering the relic, they walked through a long, dilapidated corridor, arriving at the Divine Statue Hall.

The three Golden Core powerhouses searched around and came back to report:

"Young Master, it seems someone has been here recently, traces of magical combat are evident, probably no less than five or six people."

Mo Sha frowned: "Weren’t all the people from Cloud Bamboo Mountain killed by us? Apart from Yun Wu, who else could have entered this relic?"

Ling said: "Yun Zhen once traveled with Qiu Zhihe and his wife, perhaps Cloud Pattern Mountain asked them to bring Yun Zhen to Cloud Bamboo Mountain." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Mo Sha laughed heartily: "Ling is indeed clever, that’s probably it! So, the top two on the Beauty Ranking, along with several of the world’s beauties, are here? If I turned them all into my Corpse Concubines..."

Ling advised: "Young Master, be cautious, that Qiu Zhihe is somewhat peculiar, probably has hidden cultivation."

Mo Sha sneered coldly: "What use is hidden cultivation? I have three Golden Cores here, and you as well!"

Ling no longer spoke, raising her gaze to the enormous Divine Lady statue, murmuring:

"This woman is... Sheng Tanglian."

"Sheng Tanglian?" Mo Sha looked up at the Divine Lady statue, surprised:

"The Sect Leader of Cyan Lotus Sect from five hundred years ago? It is said she was not only exceptionally talented but also extremely beautiful. This statue indeed captures her charm. Such a pity, she’s already dead, or I would certainly refine her into my Corpse Concubine! That would be delightful! Hahaha!"

Ling interrupted him: "Young Master, Sheng Tanglian was not only a highly accomplished predecessor but also a pitiable woman of deep feelings; now that she’s gone, let’s show her some respect."

Mo Sha slapped Ling in the face coldly, saying: "What are you? How dare you lecture me?! Should I tell my father to train you properly?"

Ling staggered back a step, lowered her head: "Ling spoke out of turn, please forgive me, Young Master."

"Humph." Mo Sha stepped forward and grabbed her collar:

"Servants must adhere to servant rules. Next time you offend again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Yes." Ling submissively accepted Mo Sha’s humiliation.

Nearby, the three Golden Core powerhouses exchanged glances, slightly shaking their heads, a hint of pity and confusion in their eyes, yet they said nothing.

Two years ago, before the Mountain Master went into seclusion, he brought Ling to Spirit Corpse Mountain, having her stay by Mo Sha’s side.

But Ling always hid her face behind a mask, and no one had ever seen her true appearance.

Some had tried probing her strength, but couldn’t discern her depth, only knowing her combat power was likely not below Golden Core.

Moreover, she was a High Tier Array Master and Artifact Refiner; such prowess made her a key figure even within the Three Great Sects.

Yet she chose to serve as a submissive servant by the side of the spoiled Young Master of Spirit Corpse Mountain, a deeply perplexing choice.

At this moment, Mo Sha finally released Ling and commanded: "Quickly find them for me."

"Yes."

Ling bowed politely and walked to the center of the hall, extending her delicate fingers, her spiritual power transforming into a pen to draw an array on the floor.

Half a two-hour period later, a massive array formed in the center of the hall.

An elderly man with white hair and beard showed a look of amazement: "Is this actually a Spirit Seeking Array?"

Beside him were a middle-aged married Taoist couple, the man short in stature and somewhat sinister, the woman still charming with a flirtatious gaze.

The woman recognized the Spirit Seeking Array, amazed: "Legend has it that this Spirit Seeking Array requires the sought person’s personal item."

Just as she finished speaking, Ling had already taken out a comb from her bosom, and Mo Sha said proudly:

"I had long ordered Ling to find Yun Chen’s Mountain Master courtyard; this comb was found in a lady’s boudoir. Yun Chen’s wife passed away early, so this comb must surely belong to Yun Wu."

At this time, Ling had already placed the comb into the Spirit Seeking Array, subsequently activating the array.

In an instant, dazzling lights flickered, and a light curtain appeared in the sky, revealing an image.

"Found her! The scene in the light curtain now shows Yun Wu’s position."

Several people looked at the light curtain, only seeing darkness.

Mo Sha furrowed his brow: "What’s going on here?"

The short middle-aged man said: "Young Master, in the darkness a humanoid silhouette seems visible, it’s likely a woman, should be Yun Wu."

Ling spoke: "Young Master, Yun Wu is within this relic, but she’s in a hidden space. Another array needs to be deployed and gradually deciphered to enter."

Mo Sha, impatiently, said: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up!"

Ling bowed: "Young Master, this space is quite mysterious; it will take about a month to decipher it."

Mo Sha waved his hand: "Within a month, it must be deciphered, or I will whip you to shreds with the God-breaking Whip!"

Ling trembled slightly, lowered her head: "Yes."

...

Twenty-nine days later.

Altar Hall.

Inside that cultivation room, darkness no longer lingered, the room was brightly lit.

Qin Gengyun sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed in cultivation.

In the past twenty-nine days, initially, six women took turns entering the chamber to cultivate with him.

Twenty days later, Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling ceased to visit.

In the following days, fewer and fewer came; they likely reached Foundation Establishment Peak, making further co-cultivation meaningless.

Two days ago, no one came anymore.

Niantang came to remove the Long Dark Talisman, unlocked the Spirit Merging Chain and the restriction on Qin Gengyun, allowing Yun Wu to exhale a large breath of spiritual energy before taking her away, leaving Qin Gengyun to cultivate alone.

Considering the timing, today was the last day of the Red Lotus Killing Array activation deadline.

Qin Gengyun, sitting cross-legged, had spiritual power surging around him, the air seemingly compressed.

A moment later, spiritual energy returned to calm, and he opened his eyes.

Foundation Establishment Peak.

The Wall Union Technique is indeed extraordinary; within just one month, it propelled him from the Fourth-Layer of Foundation Establishment to Foundation Establishment Peak rapidly.

But this rapid increase inevitably resulted in unstable foundations.

However, surviving is the priority now, no time to worry about these; escape first.

At that moment, a tall red silhouette walked in.

Qin Gengyun stood up: "Is it time to begin?"

He was well aware that at least five of the six women who cultivated with him had reached Foundation Establishment Peak.

Now about half a day remained until the Red Lotus Killing Array’s activation; breaking the Five-Beast Celestial Prison must happen now.

Niantang approached him, her face hidden beneath a veil, showing no discernible expression, her stern gaze fixed on him, she slowly spoke:

"Before going out, there’s something you need to know."
