Born with immortal seed

Chapter 198 The Divine Powers of the Five Elements Sect

"The White Bone Immortal is in the mid-stage of Core Formation, and his spiritual sense can reach twenty miles away... We should conceal our aura and slowly approach."

The Five Elements Sect's techniques are indeed extraordinary. If one were to scan them with one's divine sense rather than with the naked eye, one would only perceive the Green Wood True Man before them as a lush, towering tree.

"This withered tree substitute talisman not only transforms your form into that of a withered tree, giving you the aura of vegetation, but it can also block a fatal attack for you."

"Its creation involved the use of a piece of the heartwood from a third-tier Jade Emperor Plum tree. Unless a late-stage Core Formation cultivator goes all out, it can serve as a substitute for death."

"understood."

Bai Zichen nodded slightly, surprised to find his voice dry and low.

The Blackwater Immortal transformed into flowing water and plunged into a stream, where waves surged and he vanished without a trace.

"Don't be surprised. Although our supernatural powers are not conducive to fighting, we still have some advantages in the application of the Five Elements magic and escape techniques... Otherwise, how could we have survived for thousands of years in a place like Dian Kingdom, where the strong prey on the weak and there is even less order than Liang Kingdom?"

Aoki Makoto's voice rang directly in Bai Zichen's mind, and the two slowly approached Jade Moon Lake.

I had only heard of the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light before, but I never expected that the techniques and supernatural powers would have such wonderful uses.

Bai Zichen felt much more at ease and had more confidence in breaking through the Ghost Spirit Gate's defenses and entering Jade Moon Lake.

Without using any magic, simply by walking about twenty miles, one could already see the 3,600-ring Water Smoke Array being fiercely attacked.

Even in the dead of night, the spiritual light continued to soar into the sky, and the deafening roar of magical artifacts striking each other echoed through the night.

In the silent night sky, the sound traveled clearly, and the faint sound of shouting and yelling could be heard on the wind.

Three orbs of light shone brightly, and in the middle of the formation were two ten-foot-tall bone demons, each with six arms.

Each of them wielded a pair of bone swords, two bone knives, and a pair of bone hammers, each swing carrying immense power.

If it weren't for the 3,600-ring water mist array, the mountain peaks would have been smashed and the lake water would have overflowed long ago.

Opposite the two bone demons was a pure white lotus platform, at the top of which sat a Taoist priest with an ethereal air.

Countless lotus flowers fell, conveying a sense of transcendence and tranquility, and actually held the misty water vapor still.

As the smoke dissipated, a corner of the Jade Moon Lake was revealed.

The white lotus broke the formation's ability to conceal their vision, and the Qingfeng Sect disciples inside looked up at the starry sky, filled with apprehension and fear.

As each lotus petal falls into the formation, a layer of water curtain dissolves.

Several times, just as the layers of water were about to reach the bottom, a surge of new spiritual energy would rush in and fill the gap.

Jiang Yuhe remained calm and composed, smiling as he picked up a flower.

As they approached the outer edge of the formation, the misty water vapor had turned pink, and its operation became less smooth and more difficult.

The Peach Blossom Fairy, with a face radiant with spring, possessed an astonishing charm in every smile and frown, pushing the Five Poisonous Mist of Peach Blossoms to its limit.

She possesses both the shyness of a young girl in love and the charm of a mature woman.

The palace dress only revealed a section of her snow-white wrist; the clothing was conservative and not revealing at all.

Yet it is more alluring than revealing outfits that show off one's legs.

Besides the three Core Formation cultivators, there were also dozens of Ghost Spirit Sect disciples who either activated demonic techniques or defiled the great formation.

Or occupy an important position, with police presence in all directions.

"Junior brother, have you noticed anything?"

Master Qingmu's voice suddenly rang in Bai Zichen's mind. Just as he was wondering, Master Heishui spoke.

"The White Bone Immortal has already revealed the true form of his natal magic weapon. Apart from a few trump cards, he must have used his true abilities... The Peach Blossom Fairy's magic weapon can generate miasma, which, along with the flowing water mist, affects the operation of the formation."

Bai Zichen looked around, but couldn't find the figure of Blackwater Master anywhere.

It seemed as if it had truly merged into the lake, becoming one with the water.

"The lotus platform that the mysterious demonic cultivator transformed into should not be a magic treasure... It seems to be a supernatural power brought by a cultivation technique. Since he did not use his full strength, we cannot see its depth."

"The demonic cultivator who conjured the lotus platform is called Jiang Yuhe. He is a guest elder of the Blood Demon Sect... He has not made many moves. He is a Core Formation cultivator from Beiyuan and is not from Liang Kingdom."

Based on the intelligence from the Qingfeng Sect, Bai Zichen quickly determined the identity of the demonic cultivator.

The Nine-Child Yin Demon is accompanied by nine naked infants when it appears, stirring up a monstrous resentment. If it is not deliberately restrained, all living beings within a ten-mile radius will be affected.

That leaves only the mysterious and unpredictable Jiang Yuhe, who fits the description of this middle-aged Taoist.

"Bei Yuanjiang Yuhe... I will seek him out and challenge him after I have cultivated the Black Water True Body."

Jiang Yuhe had stripped Blackwater Master of sixty years of cultivation. He had only recently formed his core, and his true essence almost collapsed, making his realm unstable.

The enemy was right in front of him, his tone unchanged, but one could sense the resentment within.

"Only the White Bone True Man, Peach Blossom Fairy, and Jiang Yuhe, three Core Formation cultivators, are besieging Feiyue Lake. This is much better than the worst-case scenario we previously estimated... The Nine-Child Yin Demon and Daoist He should still be near our mountain, intimidating our sect and blocking the way for our two senior uncles to come to our aid."

In this short time, Bai Zichen had already mastered the trick of transmitting sound between the three people at the same time.

Simply put, adjusting your magical energy fluctuations to the same frequency as the other person's allows your voice transmission to be received by multiple people simultaneously.

“They probably didn’t expect anyone to appear here at this time, and their defenses were not strict enough, giving them an opportunity to catch us off guard. Let’s use Peach Blossom Fairy as a breakthrough point. Junior Nephew Bai, you communicate with the formation to open the entrance… Junior Brother Blackwater, hold off Peach Blossom Fairy, and I’ll hold off the other two.”

Since this matter concerns three Core Formation cultivators, Bai Zichen has no say in how to handle it; it all depends on how the two True Persons of the Five Elements Sect arrange things.

Entering or exiting the formation will cause the third-order formation to pause its operation for a moment.

Normally it wouldn't matter, but right now the three demonic cultivators will definitely seize the opportunity to break into Jade Moon Lake and disrupt the formation.

Without any hesitation, Aoki Masato made a decisive assignment of tasks.

"Uncle-Master Aoki, you're holding off two of them all by yourself..."

Bai Zichen was slightly taken aback. In a two-on-two situation, both Blackwater Masters were seriously injured, and Bai Zichen was defeated and forced to flee.

Where does Master Qingmu get the confidence to resist two Core Formation Realm cultivators whose strength surpasses his? Does he have some powerful trump card yet?

"It'll only take a few breaths. I have my own way of dealing with it. You all hurry up and get into the formation."

Master Aoki remained calm and offered no further explanation.

"Senior brother, be careful... that Peach Blossom Fairy, I can definitely make her unable to make a move within ten breaths, so she won't have time to look at anything else."

After a long pause, Blackwater Master's voice reappeared, this time with a heavier tone.

Master Qingmu grabbed Bai Zichen and took a big step forward. With just one step, he appeared a hundred feet away.

With each step he took, his body grew taller, until he was only a few miles away from the Peach Blossom Fairy, when he had become a ten-zhang giant.

At this distance, there was no hope of hiding it from the opponent's divine sense. With a flash of light, he arrived above Jade Moon Lake and threw Bai Zichen directly out.

At the same time, his own blue light surged, his figure grew to tens of feet tall, countless roots and branches danced, and a powerful wood-type spiritual energy surged, making him look like a towering tree man.

"What a thief!"

Bai Gu Zhenren and Jiang Yuhe sensed the giant tree-man that appeared within their divine sense range at almost the same time. Although their main attention was on the formation, they did not deliberately release their divine sense to scan the entire area.

However, some people could only be discovered when they were within five miles of them, and this ability to conceal their aura startled them.

The Peach Blossom Fairy reacted a moment later, but she was right beside her and moved the fastest.

With a sharp cry, she slipped a gold bracelet off her snow-white wrist, ready to smash it away.

Swish!
A large black net suddenly fell, covering the Peach Blossom Fairy. Water dragons were generated, using their bodies as ropes to wrap her up layer by layer.

Blackwater True Man appeared not far away, his third-tier Profound Water True Spirit Talisman just burned out.

The one-time trapping artifact in his hand cost as much to refine as a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Combined with the third-tier Profound Water True Spirit Talisman, its enhanced power is comparable to that of a mid-grade magic weapon.

His injuries had not yet healed, so he could only rely on secret treasures and talismans and could not face the enemy head-on.

At the same time, the towering tree-man that Qingmu Zhenren had transformed into stretched out two giant hands, one hand holding countless white lotuses, and the other hand blocking the two white bone demon gods.

The white lotus instantly turned into a black lotus, staining the giant hand with ink, causing it to rot and wither, extinguishing its life force.

Master Qingmu spat out a sword light, severing one of the tree-man's arms to prevent the demonic energy from spreading.

The other wooden palm was smashed repeatedly by the white bone god's swords and hammers, with pieces of wood and branches flying everywhere, leaving it in a state of extreme damage.

"The greenwood takes form, and Jumang is reborn!"

Master Qingmu roared, and a blue light flashed from his severed arm. Two wooden hands grew back, blocking the two demonic cultivators once again.

Bai Zichen quickly took out the elder's token and activated his access privileges.

He had never realized that the reaction speed of the 3,600-ring water smoke array was so slow.

As the mist dissipates, a circular entrance slowly emerges.

"My two senior uncles, quickly follow me into the formation..."

Bai Zichen shouted, and a white bone sword light appeared in his sight. A cold light stood upside down behind him, and he felt an unprecedented threat of death.

Just as he was about to self-destruct his glass body, in the blink of an eye, the white bone sword light transformed from a tiny point into a chilling sword rainbow tens of feet long, slamming straight into his chest.

A dense blue light enveloped the area, a sword flashed, and two pieces of broken wood fell from the air.

'Is this the power of a Core Formation cultivator wielding a third-tier flying sword? My mind was seized, and I didn't even have time to think of self-destructing my Crystal Body...'

The third-tier withered wood substitute talisman can withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator below the late Core Formation stage, and has the ability to substitute for someone else in death.

The activated talisman on his body blocked the white bone sword light, and Bai Zichen only suffered the aftershocks, feeling as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Despite the metallic clang of his powerful body, two of his sternums were broken, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

But his figure shifted, and he had already arrived at the entrance of the great formation.

Just as Peach Blossom Fairy had managed to loosen the water dragon binding her halfway, Black Water True Man raised his hand and unleashed a series of water thunderbolts, forcing her to gather her true energy to defend against them.

With a flash of light, Blackwater Immortal entered the great formation.

Lake Jade Moon is entirely water, making it the perfect place to utilize water-based techniques. He was like a fish in water here.

Otherwise, with his severely injured body, he wouldn't be able to continuously channel his true energy, making it too difficult to trap the Peach Blossom Fairy.

Aoki Masato strode out and flashed to the entrance as well.

The two skeletal demon gods behind them transformed back into skeletal fire hammers and slammed down. At the same time, a black lotus floated over, and the entrance to the formation still had one breath left before it could close.

Once the formation is unprotected, it will inevitably be hit head-on by two Core Formation cultivators with their full strength, causing the formation flags to shake and the nodes to become chaotic.

The only possible outcome is the collapse of the formation.
