Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 140 - 131 Soul Searching Temple [Second Update!]

"Don't panic, don't panic."

Ren Changsheng waved his hand and frowned, "Outside the ridge, there still exists the Evil-Slaying Five Thunders Array set up by the master. With the reappearance of Spiritual Energy and the reinforcements I added a few days ago, even if the extraordinary saints beyond the Heavenly Realm from Ma Tiliang Mountain, Bao Du Mountain, and Tiangu Mountain arrive, it could still hold them off for some time."

Before the cataclysmic changes, Jing Country considered the Heavenly Realm as the mightiest, which was extremely rare.

Able to suppress a nation, unmatched across the world!

However, over the past seven years, the times have changed, and masters of the Heavenly Realm have gradually increased.

On Ma Tiliang Mountain, Bao Du Mountain, and Tiangu Mountain, there are even stronger beings beyond the Heavenly Realm from the God Realm. With just a raise of hands, they exhibit extraordinary might that chills one to the bone.

Being targeted by such powerful beings, the small Soul Searching Temple could only shiver.

"The delaying tactics of the Qimen Dunjia Skill are ultimately not a long-term solution."

Zhang Wenye spoke solemnly.

"Yes."

"It is not a long-term solution."

Ren Changsheng sighed and paid his respects in the direction of the Ancestor Hall and General Temple, his expression filled with guilt and loss.

"I, the disciple, am dull-witted. Having cultivated since childhood and over twelve years passed, I am still stuck at the Human Realm. With the ascent of Spiritual Energy in General Ridge and the aid of divine objects like the Seven-Colored Lotus, the opportunity it brings me barely reaches the peak of the Earth Realm. Far from the Heavenly Realm, the distance is vast and I do not know when I will break through."

Ren Changsheng clenched his fists.

The Soul Searching Temple, situated unknowingly many years at General Ridge—if the ancestral foundation perishes under his watch, he truly did not know how to face the ancestors after death.

At this moment—

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Boom!

Rumble rumble!

From the foot of the mountain came a series of booming sounds, the faces of Ren Changsheng and the others suddenly changed—

The experts from Seeking Immortal Que have arrived so quickly!

...

Below Thunder Mountain.

Clouds embodying thunder circled around, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the situation was enveloping.

Amidst the thunder clouds, eighteen white-robed masters wielding various weapons and dressed in vine armor formed a collective front, resisting the lightning from all directions, continually advancing.

Thirty-six black-robed masters followed behind, bows bent and arrows set, ready for battle.

Additionally, nearly a hundred individuals clad in blue strong shirts held their bows tightly, arrows set and prepared for combat.

Lightning struck down, targeting one individual.

The person couldn't dodge in time, and the lightning struck his vine armor, his hair standing on end instantly. His body stiffened, unable to move.

"This formation is fierce; everyone be careful!"

Seeing the terror of the Divine Thunder, someone yelled a warning.

Ren Changsheng and his group looking down from the mid-mountain saw the hundred or so people contending with the formation, with no sign of defeat, a bad feeling arose in their hearts.

"Brother Longevity, Seeking Immortal Que's Thirty-Six Heavens each are Heavenly Realm experts, and this time they've really brought half of them. Half of the Seventy-Two Earth Evils have also arrived. It seems they are determined to take General Ridge this time."

Ren Xiaoyao felt heavy-hearted.

He and Ren Changsheng alike, both orphaned at a young age and taken to General Ridge by their master, were named Ren Xiaoyao.

Longevity, Xiaoyao.

These names carried the master's lifelong pursuit, but unfortunately, the master didn't live to see this grand era come to fruition, nor did he ever glimpse a hint of hope for longevity or xiaoyao.

Now, the ancestral legacy of General Ridge was about to be lost, Ren Xiaoyao felt guilty and powerless once more.

Compared to Seeking Immortal Que, which had gathered the world's masters under Jing Country's Royal Family, Soul Searching Temple only had the four of them, with only Ren Changsheng possessing the fighting capacity comparable to the Thirty-Six Earth Evils at the peak of Earth Realm.

How to resist?

"Soul Searching Temple's four young Daoist fellows, General Ridge has come into existence, attracting the attention of the world. Surely you cannot defend such a Spiritual Mountain. Why not open up your formation, and join our Seeking Immortal Que. With the Array Formation Technique of Soul Searching Temple, there will definitely be several positions for young Daoist fellows within Seeking Immortal Que!"

Within the formation, a white-robed Heavenly Gang from Seeking Immortal Que, while resisting the lightning, persuaded thus.

This person hidden as the leader for this expedition.

Although young, a closer look reveals a hint of royal dignity in his eyes.

Indeed, he is a scion of the Jing Chu Royal Family!

"Such a small Soul Searching Temple possesses such exquisite Qimen Dunjia Skill!"

"Once it's captured, I must study it meticulously."

Chu Tianhe looked around at the array setup, feeling greedy.

Born into an imperial family, he was always deeply fascinated by Skill Fighting. Even before the great changes in the world, he had reached the Earth Realm Peak. With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy these past seven years, Chu Tianhe cultivated the royal family's Magic Gates, breaking the shackles and achieving the Heavenly Realm.

However, the distance to the God Realm above the Heavenly Realm is still millions of miles away.

With the opening of the cultivation era, Mortal status and the throne of a country nearly hold no attraction for Chu Tianhe.

Only Qimen Dunjia, Array Formation Restriction, and genuine techniques could catch his interest.

The Qimen Dunjia Skill of the Soul Searching Temple was among them.

The present array setup was extraordinary and was not something that could be broken in a day or two. If he could persuade them with words, not only could he save some trouble, but also avoid complications in the process.

"Such shameless boasting!"

"General Ridge has always been the territory of our Soul Searching Temple, we won't yield to anyone!"

Chen Fengyu replied angrily, feeling outraged.

"Think carefully, my young friend, with just this array, you can't stop Seeking Immortal Que. Experts from three sects are on their way, do not mislead yourself."

A clear voice came from within the array, seemingly untarnished by annoyance.

Chen Fengyu was exasperated and rendered speechless.

...

General Ridge, deep in the woods outside Thunder Mountain.

Guan Lanzi, wearing a Star Daoist Robe, quietly watched the experts from Seeking Immortal Que breaking the array beneath Thunder Mountain. Beside him, a white-haired Daoist Child, puzzled, "This array is extraordinary, but if the master makes a move, it will surely be broken in a moment. Why doesn't master—"

Mou Xing looked towards his teacher.

Guan Lanzi looked down at the array below the mountain and said with a light smile, "Soul Searching Temple and our Judge Star Sect have some history. Although I can't claim to be close friends with the old temple master of Soul Searching Temple, we have met a few times. It's one thing for me not to help when Seeking Immortal Que suppresses several juniors; joining in to kick them while they're down is something I cannot do."

Soul Searching Temple's revered figure is the Soul Searching General of Yang Realm from the Five Thunders of Thunder Department.

Judge Star Sect's revered figure is the Judge Star General from the Divine Thunder of Five Thunders in the higher echelons of the Thunder Department.

Both belonging to the Thunder Department, tracing back through ages, perhaps the ancestor masters of both sects were colleagues.

After the catastrophe involving the Evil Dragon in Changqing Realm, the Central Plains took a millennium to recover. Over thousands of years, it transformed into a situation of seven kingdoms, and again into the current state of rising lords.

Soul Searching Temple and Judge Star Sect were originally both in Jing Country's territory, one in the south and the other in the north, with some interactions.

It's just unfortunate that the old temple master of Soul Searching Temple did not have the luck of Guan Lanzi; before the significant changes in the world and the resurgence of Spiritual Mountain in General Ridge, he had passed away in obscurity.

"So it turns out that this Small Sect has such a background."

Mou Xing, the Daoist Child, showed a look of surprise on his face.

He was still young; the Soul Searching Temple had already been in decline for decades. By the time the old temple master died, it was completely disheartened, and very few young people in the world knew of the Soul Searching Temple's glorious past. Only old generations like Guan Lanzi knew of it.

...

"A dilapidated temple with quite the origin."

"Soul Searching General of Yang Realm..."

"That's the one!"

In the woods.

Lu Qingfeng stood tall, displaying several scenarios before him—

One was of Ren Changsheng and three others on Thunder Mountain, each wearing a worried expression.

Another was below Thunder Mountain in the Thunder Cloud Formation, where hundreds of people were breaking the array.

And the last was of the old Taoist and the white-haired Daoist Child. Every image involving the two was not missed by Lu Qingfeng's ears. Behind them in the woods, dozens of Taoists lay in ambush. Each with a full Heavenly Court and eyes shining brightly, obviously each one a skilled fighter.
