Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

At this level, earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a skill that can be easily mastered).

They sped along the mountainside, quickly passing the bottom, and then continued to penetrate more than ten thousand feet underground before all the light finally stopped.

Only then did they realize that this was yet another underground space.

However, unlike when entering the secret realm, this space is not large; it can only be considered an underground cave, at most a hundred feet in diameter.

The area was quite small, and in the center of the cave stood a regular multi-angled platform, which looked like an altar, but its design was too simple.

However, at this moment, everyone's attention was not on that, but on the high platform, where a skeleton was sitting cross-legged.

Judging from the skeleton, it was clearly a man, wearing a blue robe, who looked like he had been dead for countless years. On his left wrist, there was a purple dragon-patterned jade bracelet.

Upon seeing this object, everyone present felt their hearts race.

Therefore, it seems highly likely that the 'Land of Immortal Demise' is real.

If my guess is correct, this skeleton is most likely the legendary immortal who perished here. Could the purple dragon-patterned jade bracelet on its wrist be a storage bracelet?
In that case, wouldn't the so-called immortal inheritance and the treasures of the immortal realm all be inside that storage bracelet?

The thought of this filled everyone with excitement.

Even so, no one stepped forward to snatch it. The reason was simple: the platform was surrounded by a transparent light screen, indicating the presence of an array.

This should be the so-called seal that Zi Sha mentioned before. However, strangely, everyone can only see that transparent light screen, but they have no idea where the formation is set up.

After all, setting up an array requires a base, right? But apart from the high platform that looks like an altar in front of us, there are no other buildings in the entire cave.

It's obvious that this seal is anything but simple; otherwise, the other party would have gotten there first, and why would they have informed everyone?

The most obvious point is that everyone present possesses a vast divine sense, but at this moment they can only see with their eyes and cannot penetrate even a fraction of it.

"As you all have seen, you must be thinking about it. This seal looks like it only has one layer of light, which is really inconspicuous, but the truth is far more complicated than you think."

I have some knowledge of array formations and restrictions, which is why I was able to recognize the origin of the seal.

This is a secret restriction of ancient witchcraft, called 'Luo Tian Divine Restriction'. It does not possess any other power, but it is uniquely powerful in defense.

Whether it's defending against attacks or defending against divine sense probing.

In this respect, it is almost flawless. Not to mention experts like us in the Integration Realm, even those in the Mahayana Realm would find it impossible to break through it in a short time.

"There is only one way to break the barrier, and that is to use brute force to wear it down little by little without stopping for a moment. Only in this way can it be truly broken..." Zi Sha briefly explained the situation, and after listening, everyone present looked astonished.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly inconspicuous restriction has such a mysterious origin, and is actually related to the legendary ancient witch clan!

As is well known, the Wu tribe was a powerful race that was active in ancient times, but for some unknown reason, they gradually disappeared over the years.

In today's cultivation world, the Witch Clan has long become a legend, and even related lineages are almost extinct.

However, this only refers to the pure lineage of witchcraft. In reality, many secret methods and scriptures left behind by the witchcraft lineage have long been integrated with the current cultivation system.

In addition, there are some other supreme treasures of witchcraft that have also been passed down, and each of them possesses incredible power, but they are extremely rare and almost impossible to find.

Here we must mention Xuanjin Sanren. The path he takes leans towards the lineage of witchcraft, though it is not pure, but it has a very deep connection with it.

After hearing Zi Sha's explanation, everyone present looked enlightened. As for using the most rudimentary method to gradually wear down the seal, which would consume a lot of time and magic power, no one was worried at all.

It's just time and magic power! Everyone has plenty of that. As long as we can break this barrier, it means the inheritance and treasures of immortals. The gains far outweigh the losses.

Of course, amidst the excitement, there was also a hint of doubt in their hearts, since everything came from Zi Sha's mouth, and it was impossible to know whether he had concealed anything.

Ultimately, their "joint efforts" are only temporary, aimed at breaking the ban, but in essence, there is no trust between them whatsoever, and they could turn against each other at any time.

Even if it doesn't happen during the process of breaking the seal, once the seal is broken, taking action is almost inevitable.

In this situation, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't hold back in order to take advantage of everyone.

Unfortunately, although everyone present was a powerful being at the Integration Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, they knew very little about the ancient Wu Clan.

Even Xuanjin Sanren had his brows furrowed at this moment, looking completely unaware.

Mo Juren subconsciously looked at the Cave Heaven Rat King. With the other's extensive knowledge, he should have heard of this so-called 'Luo Tian Divine Restriction', right? But the situation was no different; he looked equally bewildered.

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he thought back to the deep pit of bones he had seen before, and the mysteriously disappeared Ice Soul Clan.

For some reason, he felt that something was not right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Another point is that, ever since the gathering began, he had vaguely sensed that the Shadow Clan member known as Purple Fiend would always glance at him out of the corner of his eye, intentionally or unintentionally.

He was certain that he was not hallucinating, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable, wondering what the other person was thinking.
"Since Fellow Daoist Zi Sha is familiar with this restriction, then you can arrange what to do next." At this moment, another pale-faced, effeminate man with long, blood-red hair reaching his waist suddenly spoke up, his tone revealing a hint of impatience.

During the introduction, Mo Juren also learned about the other party's background. He was called 'Blood Spirit Child' and was a member of the Spirit Race on the Fengyuan Continent. His cultivation level was only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm.

Although his level is slightly lower, he is still not to be underestimated.

According to Xuanjin Sanren, the opponent's true form, the 'Blood Spirit Tower,' is a powerful existence comparable to a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. It is also a notorious evil artifact, which means that in actual combat, the opponent is not at a disadvantage even when facing a late-stage Fusion Realm expert.

The other party was also one of the many giants in this far north, and the reason he was able to come here was no exception; he was also a former member who had defected from the Spirit Clan. Opposite Blood Spirit Child was an old man with gray hair, known as 'Ming Xu Zi', who was also a member of the Spirit Clan, but whose cultivation was at the late stage of the Integration Realm.

However, although they both come from the same clan, they came to this place for different reasons. Compared to the former, Ming Xuzi was in this extreme northern environment because of his cultivation needs, and he did not betray his clan.

This is why there is absolutely no friendship between the two sides; on the contrary, they are mutually hostile.

"What do you fellow Daoists think?" Upon hearing Xue Lingzi's reminder, Zi Sha did not immediately agree, but instead sought everyone's opinions first.

No one could object to this, since they were all unfamiliar with the 'Luo Tian Divine Restriction'.

"In that case, I will presume to presume." Zi Sha smiled slightly and, without further hesitation, began to explain.
"Although brute force is required to break this barrier, we can't just act recklessly. We need a certain method to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his arm slightly and then quickly moved it towards the void. Streaks of spiritual light flashed and instantly formed an illusory pattern.

"A formation diagram?" The Cave Rat King was the first to recognize it, but at the same time, a few doubts arose in his heart. For some reason, he felt that the formation diagram was a bit awkward and full of loopholes no matter how he looked at it.

"Fellow Daoist Dongtian is indeed learned. That's right, this is indeed a formation diagram, but it's a simplified version that I temporarily adapted based on the current situation."

This formation can be viewed as a combined attack formation, which saves the trouble of setting it up. There are twelve nodes in total. Fellow Daoists, you can each stand at one of them and then attack the seal simultaneously..."

"I see!" After hearing Zi Sha's analysis, everyone looked enlightened. Mu Bingyun, who was standing to the side, asked again,
"According to your estimation, fellow Daoist, if we were to go all out without interruption, how long would it take to break the seal?"

"Please forgive me, Fairy Mu, it's not that I'm unwilling to say, it's just that I truly cannot be certain," Zi Sha said with a helpless smile.

"I can only give a rough estimate, at least three months or more, maybe even half a year. Firstly, the seal is indeed very strong, and everyone will feel it once we start. Secondly, everyone's methods are different, and the power they can unleash will also be different, so the time required will naturally vary. Therefore, please prepare before you start, such as some pills to replenish your mana, so that you don't have to give up halfway."

"Three months, or even half a year!" Upon hearing this, Mu Bingyun's expression changed immediately, as did the others, as the length of time was simply too unexpected.

I thought it would take about ten days or half a month, but it took so long, so the situation is quite different.

Although everyone present was at the Integration level, Mo Juren was away. However, if they were to go all out without reservation, the consumption would be enormous, and they would have to keep going for half a year without stopping. By then, most of their magical power would have been depleted.

This is no joke. Everyone knows very well that the current alliance is just a temporary measure, and the relationship is still essentially one of competition.

Once the seal is broken, a fierce battle will inevitably follow. Without sufficient strength, wouldn't we be in danger?

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the cave became quiet.

Seeing this, Zi Sha remained calm and did not rush to urge him. Instead, he patiently waited for the final answer.

He was confident that no one would be willing to give up the inheritance of immortals and the supreme treasure, so no matter how much everyone hesitated, the final answer would not change.

As he expected, after some hesitation, everyone gradually agreed.

"In that case, fellow Daoists, please each choose a node as shown in the array diagram. There's no need to hold back when you attack later. This cave was specially constructed using special materials; it's not only incredibly sturdy but also capable of absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, easily withstanding the aftershocks." At this point, Zi Sha paused suddenly, then seemingly casually glanced at Mo Juren, scrutinizing him before continuing, "..."
"And this young friend, I had already noticed before that you are quite extraordinary. Although you are only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, your internal magical power is vast and powerful, no less than the peak of the late stage. In addition, your divine sense and physical body are extremely strong. This talent and achievement are definitely top-notch among the entire human race."

Upon hearing this, the other beings around also showed expressions of surprise. They hadn't paid much attention before, but now that they looked closely, it was indeed extraordinary!

"I only had some good fortune, senior, you flatter me!" Mo Juren nodded calmly in thanks, not taking the empty praise to heart at all.

"I'm telling the truth; there's not a single lie in my words," Zi Sha shook his head slightly, then continued.
"Young friend's strength is ultimately somewhat insufficient, so you don't need to participate later. You can find a seat and wait patiently."

"This junior understands." Mo Juren nodded. Such matters were not something a Nascent Soul cultivator like him could participate in. After speaking, he immediately walked to the edge of the cave and sat down cross-legged.

Considering what might happen later, he didn't sit idle. He immediately took out a set of array flags and array plates and began to set up an array in the surrounding area.

At this moment, the twelve Nascent Soul Realm beings also chose a node to stand at, and took out their respective magic weapons, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Once everything was ready, a strange light flashed in Zi Sha's eyes at a certain node, and he immediately issued a command. As soon as he finished speaking, beams of spiritual light shot towards the light screen.

"Boom boom boom..."

As expected of beings at the Integration Realm, and with each of their magical treasures unleashing their full power, the resulting force was beyond imagination.

Even from dozens of feet away, Mo Juren could still feel the terrifying aftershocks sweeping over him. If he hadn't been strong enough and hadn't taken precautions beforehand, he would have suffered a lot.

Indeed, the cave wall behind them was quite extraordinary, just as the Purple Fiend had said. The terrifying aftershocks that surged forth were directly absorbed.

What kind of material is this? How can it have such a terrifying ability to absorb spirits?

A strong sense of curiosity arose in Mo Juren's heart, and he continued to investigate on his own.

At this moment, everyone finally witnessed just how incredible the so-called 'Luo Tian Divine Restriction' truly was.

The combined attack of twelve Nascent Soul Realm experts was incredibly powerful, yet the light barrier surrounding the platform remained completely unmoved.

This defense is just too insane!
The shock in his heart was beyond words, but having already made his move, he could not stop and could only continue to launch an attack.

However, faced with such a shocking sight, Mo Juren paid no attention to it anymore; all his attention was now focused on the cave wall in front of him.

At first, he simply took a look out of interest, but unexpectedly, in just a short while, he suddenly discovered something unusual.

"This is..." (End of Chapter)
