Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The attack continued and grew increasingly fierce, but Mo Juren, who was at the edge of the cave, was filled with surprise.

Just now, his hand inadvertently touched the cave wall, wanting to see what material it was made of? How could it withstand such a fierce attack?
It can be confirmed that this must be some kind of top-grade spiritual material. Theoretically, as long as one's body comes into contact with it, the auxiliary device will give a prompt.

However, to his surprise, there was absolutely no reaction when he touched the cave wall.

Mo Juren was extremely observant, and he immediately noticed something was wrong. It was highly unusual and illogical that he hadn't reacted.

The lack of prompts from the helper means there are only two possibilities.

Either the cave wall is just an ordinary layer of rock, which wouldn't meet the material library's standards for collection, and naturally wouldn't provide any hints.

But this is clearly not right. If it were just ordinary rock, how could it possess such powerful energy?
The aftershocks of a dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm experts attacking at such close range are not something that can be easily eliminated.

Another possibility is that the material of the cave wall is so rare that even the auxiliary equipment cannot identify it.

But that's even more unreliable. What kind of existence is an auxiliary device? It can even be identified and captured by the laws of heaven and earth, let alone some spiritual materials.
Neither of these two possibilities is possible, so what exactly is going on?

After thinking for a moment, he immediately took out his flying sword, intending to cut off a piece for further study. However, the result was unexpected. The cave wall was unusually hard, and the flying sword did not leave a single mark on it.

"So sturdy!" Mo Juren was slightly surprised, but he felt a little relieved. It seemed that the materials used for the cave walls were indeed extraordinary.

However, the doubts in my heart still did not dissipate. If it was not an ordinary rock, why did the auxiliary device not give any hints?

This is too strange! Could it be that the material used for the cave walls is some rare substance beyond the three realms? Even the auxiliary device can't make a judgment?

Obviously, that's absolutely impossible!
For a moment, he was completely bewildered.

What he didn't notice was that in the central area of ​​the cave, the Purple Fiend, who was manipulating a dark green pagoda and attacking the seal with all his might, seemed to glance at him unintentionally, his eyes narrowing slightly before instantly returning to normal.

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the attacks from the twelve experts at the Integration Realm were continuous and never stopped. In addition, they all used more than 70% of their strength, so the consumption was naturally huge.

As for what Zi Sha mentioned at the beginning about attacking with all his might regardless of the consequences, just take it with a grain of salt. It's impossible to actually do that; we still need to hold back.

However, this makes it increasingly impossible to break the seal as soon as possible.

The seal was so powerful that it was beyond imagination. Everyone joined forces and attacked it continuously for three months, but it remained as solid as a rock, showing no signs of weakening.

Such a lack of progress was really testing everyone's patience, and it made everyone's expressions increasingly gloomy and their mood gradually worse.

But there was no other way. They had already attacked for so long; they couldn't just give up halfway. Besides, the seal contained the inheritance and treasures of immortals—what an irresistible temptation! No one was willing to give it up.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy everyone is, they can't stop now and can only continue attacking.

Zi Sha naturally noticed these situations as well, and seemed to have anticipated them, but he didn't say anything and chose to let things take their course.

But the smile in the depths of his eyes held a mysterious meaning, something quite profound.

Among those present, Mo Juren, who was sitting cross-legged at the edge of the cave, was probably the most relaxed. He would occasionally observe the unique methods of the various powerful figures from different races, and at other times he would close his eyes and meditate to conserve his energy.

No matter how powerful the seal is, it will eventually break, and a fierce battle will surely follow. At that time, he will not be able to stay out of it.

Because of its own weakness, it may be the most dangerous one.

Therefore, he dared not be careless in the slightest, and even set up three layers of defensive formations around him. At that time, even if any being suddenly made a move, it would at least be able to withstand one or two attacks.

In addition, there was the anomaly on the cave wall behind him. He had never stopped thinking about it during this time, and even had a strange premonition that this matter was very likely of great importance.

Unfortunately, he was still somewhat 'limited in his knowledge', and after three whole months, no matter how much he investigated, he still had no clue.

The attack continued, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. Adding the previous three months, it had been more than half a year. Just when everyone was getting more and more agitated, the seal finally showed a slight change.

However, these changes were minimal, merely slight tremors that quickly returned to normal, indicating that the final breakthrough was still a long way off.

Even so, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that there was a change; otherwise, they would have started to doubt whether the seal was truly unbreakable.

After attacking continuously for half a year, although everyone held back, they still unleashed 70% of their strength, and the enormous consumption of energy was self-evident. Some had even started taking elixirs.

It's impossible to wait until your mana is completely depleted before replenishing it; that's too risky. Without mana to rely on, you'd truly be a fish on a chopping block.

In theory, one should maintain at least 50% of their internal magical power for maximum safety; otherwise, one's safety will be greatly reduced.

This is certainly a consensus in everyone's mind, but sometimes thinking about it is one thing, doing it is another.

Immortal inheritances and supreme treasures are great opportunities that could help one break through again, or even ascend to the immortal realm! Who could bear to part with them?

Especially now that the seal has loosened, we must press on even harder. If we are stingy with our magic power and fail to persevere to the last moment, resulting in failure, wouldn't we regret it to death?

Greed is the root of everything. Everyone's hearts have long been trapped, and they all know this. Unless the seal is broken, I'm afraid no one will stop.

And that was exactly what happened. When another three months had passed, everyone's energy expenditure had already exceeded the minimum requirement of 50%, but still no one suggested giving up.

Of course, there is an even more important reason: the frequency of the seal's shaking has clearly begun to increase. If we persevere, it will probably be completed in no time.

By this point, everyone had become like gamblers, with only one thought in their minds: to break the seal at all costs and obtain the immortal inheritance and treasures inside.

In any case, even if it's a drain on resources, everyone will be drained together, and no one will benefit when it comes to competing for the treasure.

It's unclear when it started, but the atmosphere in the cave has gradually become somewhat 'out of control'. Faced with an opportunity within reach, everyone's eyes have turned bloodshot.

"Something's not right!" At the edge of the cave, Mo Juren suddenly opened his eyes and immediately noticed the anomaly when he saw what was in front of him.

The situation seemed to be getting a little strange. You have to know that these are all old monsters at the Integration Realm. Their mental states have been honed to be incredibly strong over the long years and through countless tribulations.

Even if we are faced with an incredible opportunity, we shouldn't be so reckless.

Thinking of this, he disregarded everything else and immediately sent a telepathic warning to his group. However, what happened next made his heart sink to the bottom. Neither the Cave Heaven Rat King nor Fairy Phoenix Feather seemed to hear him. They continued to swallow pills and relentlessly attacked the seal.

"Damn it!" Mo Juren cursed inwardly, while also wondering why he hadn't been affected. Could it be the protection of the auxiliary device?
This is not the time to think about this. Without any hesitation, he immediately decided to do something, even if it would ultimately prevent the seal from being broken.

He instinctively had a premonition that, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, the Nascent Soul Realm experts present absolutely could not be allowed to have any problems, at least not now, otherwise he would also be doomed.

Thinking of this, he was about to take action, but at this moment, an unimaginable and terrifying pressure suddenly arrived, instantly crushing the triple array he had set up into pieces, and then completely sealing him in place.

"How could this be!" The sudden change caused Mo Juren's expression to change drastically. He looked up abruptly and saw an unbelievable scene.

It was Zi Sha. At this moment, the other party was actually smiling at him, and compared to the other Nascent Soul Realm experts who looked crazy, only the other party had a clear mind.

"Who exactly are you?" By this point, Mo Juren finally understood that the other party had been the one causing trouble from the beginning, from the initial invitation to the deliberate reminder that everyone needed to use all their magical power to attack the seal.

It was all a scheme.

Nearly a year has passed, and everyone present has been greatly exhausted, which has naturally affected their mental vigilance and ability to resist scheming.

What he couldn't understand was how so many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could all be affected.

The Shadow Clan excels at bewitching minds and manipulating others, but there are limits. No matter how strong or skillful the opponent is, it is impossible to influence so many equally powerful individuals at the same time.

Then there's only one possibility: the other party might not be just the Shadow Clan.

In addition, the inducement of the immortal inheritance is also a factor, as are the array diagrams that the other party deliberately revealed before, and the positions where everyone is standing, etc. It is estimated that everything is in the plan.

Thinking of this, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This guy was really meticulous. Everything he did was interconnected, making everyone fall into his scheme without them even realizing it.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is how the other party managed to do all this. To be able to control so many powerful individuals of the same level at the same time is a terrifying method that is completely beyond comprehension. Perhaps only beings at the Mahayana stage or above have such strength?

"Who am I? It's not up to you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, to question me. Just stay there obediently. Once the seal is broken, you'll surely have a 'fortune' to look forward to. If you're foolish enough to cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless. Killing you will be a piece of cake for me." Zi Sha's smile vanished, and his tone became icy cold.

"My opportunity?" Mo Juren was taken aback, but he didn't believe a word the other person said. He also thought that since the previous gathering, this guy had been glancing at him from time to time, and he felt increasingly uneasy.

In short, regardless of his purpose, he absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for his death.

The other party probably didn't take him seriously, nor were they worried that he could actually do anything. So they simply intimidated him and then ignored him, but the terrifying pressure did not disappear.

This guy is indeed very cautious; he wasn't completely at ease even when facing a junior like him who was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

If it were anyone else, they would have no choice but to surrender in the face of such overwhelming pressure.

Unfortunately, the other party completely underestimated his methods.

However, he did not make a move immediately. The reason was simple: the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Even his strongest trump card, the Edict, would be completely ineffective against a late-stage Fusion Realm expert.

Fortunately, we had tried this before when targeting the Yin Yang Ancestor. We could target the magic weapon he used instead of the cultivator himself, which had a very good effect.

At this moment, the opponent was controlling a mysterious pagoda about a foot tall, with a dark green body. As it rotated, it shot out dense green light blades, which continuously slashed at the seal.

However, what touched him was that many golden wind chimes hung around the pagoda, which emitted a faint, melodious chime as they turned.

"Could it be?" Mo Juren's heart stirred again, and he immediately guessed that the reason why everyone temporarily lost their self-awareness was most likely related to this treasure, or rather, the faint sound of the wind chimes.

In this way, if we disturb it and make the ringing stop, wouldn't that wake everyone up?
The opponent, a Shadow Clan member in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, could not possibly control so many beings of the same level. It must only be a temporary deception, and the slightest mistake could affect them.

Considering his earlier warning to himself, strictly forbidding him from causing trouble, everything makes sense.

Having figured everything out, he no longer hesitated. In an instant, a green talisman shot out like lightning, heading straight for the green pagoda in mid-air.

The distance of only a few dozen feet was covered in an instant, making it impossible to dodge. Before the opponent could even react, the green rune shadow had already entered the pagoda.

At this moment, the Wood Element Edict displayed terrifying power, transcending the rules. The green pagoda had no way to resist and instantly broke free from Zi Sha's control, falling downwards.

"What, impossible..." At this moment, Zi Sha finally reacted. His expression of complete control vanished instantly, replaced by shock.

However, it was too late. Just as Mo Juren had thought, the moment the wind chimes disappeared, the experts at the Integration Realm present almost instantly regained their senses.

At this moment, everyone realized what had just happened and immediately recalled everything that had just occurred to them, their faces turning extremely ugly.

"How could I..."

"Purple Demon, it's you..."

"You're looking for death..."

"..."

In an instant, furious shouts rose and fell. Everyone present was a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm, having stood at the top of this world for countless years. Who would have thought that one day they could be schemed against like this?

This was a blatant humiliation, and they were all terrified. Luckily, that guy didn't take the opportunity to attack, otherwise they would have been badly injured even if they hadn't died.

Upon thinking of this, the hatred in everyone's hearts soared to the sky. Without any hesitation, they immediately controlled their respective magical weapons and launched a combined attack on the other side.

The combined attack of more than ten Nascent Soul Realm experts, delivered with utter resentment and without any restraint, was incredibly powerful.

Zi Sha was merely a Shadow Clan member at the late-stage Integration Realm; how could he possibly withstand it? He would likely be blasted into dust.

The opponent's only option right now is to evade, but facing a combined attack from so many powerful opponents of the same level, there's no way they can hide anywhere.

However, the actual situation was completely different from what his family had expected. Not only did he not run away, but the great shock on his face also disappeared instantly.

He suddenly sneered, and with a flash, he appeared directly on the seal, lying right next to it.

This bizarre scene left everyone present stunned. Could it be that knowing there was no hope of escape, they simply gave up resisting and deliberately sought death?
At this moment, the Cave Rat King was the first to react, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

"Oh no! He's using our magic weapon to attack the seal!" (End of Chapter)
