The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 528 Catching the Strong Man

Intuitively, Wang Wu knew there was no way around it.

This sealing array directly split the cultivation world in two.

What a grand gesture!
But Wang Wu couldn't understand it either. Weren't those twelve Great Luo Immortals going to intervene?
It remains to be seen which forces are involved, as this is not something that one or two forces can handle.

In the end what happened?
Wang Wu was even more worried, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just ask any Taiyi person what was going on, could he? If he didn't trust them completely, asking random questions would also cause problems.

However, there's no rush to do this.

Wang Wu silently approached the sealing immortal array, carefully observing and searching for a way to cross the boundary.

As he looked at it, he became more and more alarmed, because this sealing immortal array was at least the work of a half-step Great Luo Immortal. Not to mention the other more complex structural deployments, its biggest feature was that it could prevent the evolution of the Three Calamities!
It's no longer possible for Wang Wu to pass through silently through the Three Calamities as he used to.

With this thought in mind, he decisively descended to the ground and approached a giant city. This was the connection point of the sealing immortal array and one of the few passable checkpoints.

There are five giant cities here. When Wang Wu approached, he saw that the Divine Dragon Immortal Alliance was inscribed on them, which meant that the Divine Dragon Immortal Alliance had also joined the war.

I still find it somewhat unbelievable.

Outside this giant city, there is a tall, round tower. Above the tower, a beam of yin and yang energy shines down. Everyone who enters or leaves must be exposed to this yin and yang energy, which can truly reveal the ancestors of eighteen generations.

Wang Wu observed for a long time, watching six Taiyi come and go, and seeing how they were exposed and inspected. He knew then that he couldn't get away with it.

Just when they were at their wits' end, a spirit-catching ship flew out from the giant city. But it was not the same kind of spirit-catching ship as before. It had obviously been modified. It was as if it was no longer used to catch spirits, but was modified into a mobile castle, faster, stronger, and with more ferocious support capabilities!

There stood about fifty Taiyi cultivators and about three thousand Dixian cultivators, all fully armed, exuding a murderous aura, and seemingly very professional.

So what does this mean?
Wang Wu was taken aback for a moment, but decisively followed. He was genuinely curious, and he felt that this might be a good opportunity for him to infiltrate the sealing formation.

Because the spirit-catching ship did not need to be exposed to light or inspected when it entered or left the area.

At first, Wang Wu thought the spirit-capturing ship was going to capture the chaotic battles among the Taiyi cultivators. Unexpectedly, moments later, the ship arrived before a massive city belonging to a certain power. Without a word, it sealed off the surrounding area, encircling the entire city. Then, the leading eighth-order Taiyi cultivator solemnly proclaimed, "By imperial decree, all second-order and above Earth Immortals have the obligation and responsibility to suppress the Rebellious Alliance! All permanent immortal artifacts must be surrendered unconditionally! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Good heavens, they're conscripting men!

Not only will they conscript men, but they will also confiscate their homes!
The importance of permanent immortal artifacts is undeniable, and they are extremely expensive. They are essentially the core of a giant city. Without permanent immortal artifacts, the giant city would basically be unable to survive.

"Bullshit! I know exactly what you scoundrels are up to. You want my Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance's eternal immortal artifacts? Come on, kill me first!"

The person in charge of that giant city was quite arrogant, or perhaps he had no way out. Oh, and this was an acquaintance, Yu Sheng, who cultivated the Gu Spirit Pill. He was still only at the sixth level of the Taiyi realm, and had made no progress in two thousand years.

However, he had a giant city to defend, eternal immortal artifacts to support him, and he was well prepared, so he was not really afraid of the Taiyi eighth-level opponent.

However, he seemed to have misjudged the situation, because he was not facing fifty Taiyi and three thousand Dixian alone, but a modified spirit-capturing ship.

The next second, the spirit-catching ship shone brightly, and three thousand long sails of the Three Calamities stretched out, like wings that covered the sky.

Immediately following, a dragon's roar was heard, and nine enormous, pitch-black, heavy dragon pillars suddenly appeared in the sky!
Each one is three hundred miles in diameter and three thousand miles in length, with twelve azure dragons coiled on it!
The nine dragon pillars crashed down with a roar, causing Yu Sheng's expression to change. He hurriedly activated the eternal immortal artifact in the city. With a cicada's chirp, tens of millions of golden lights surged up, as brilliant as clouds, and instantly transformed into nine giant blades, slashing towards the nine dragon pillars!

A deafening roar erupted as the nine golden giant blades were indeed able to block the coiled dragon pillar, but only to a certain extent. The coiled dragon pillar was clearly very sturdy, and the blades did not cause any damage when they struck it.

"on!"

At this moment, the eighth-order Taiyi on the spirit-catching ship let out a cold shout, and the three thousand Earth Immortals on the ship immediately took off into the air, their bodies shining with corresponding teleportation glows, and all of them landed on the nine coiled dragon pillars.

"drink!"

They roared in unison, each channeling their Mountain-Moving Techniques to aid the Coiled Dragon Pillar.

The effect was immediately apparent.

Under normal circumstances, these three thousand Earth Immortals wouldn't even last a second against those nine giant golden blades, but at this moment, they possessed an extraordinary effect, seemingly able to form a special connection with the Coiled Dragon Pillar.

Wang Wu watched the battle from afar and could see clearly that the three thousand Earth Immortals had actually doubled the power of the nine coiled dragon pillars.

Is this okay?

The next second, the nine golden giant blades were crushed, and the golden light shattered on the ground. Although Yu Sheng below reacted extremely quickly and immediately manipulated the eternal immortal artifact to make the golden light evolve into a giant shield to block the coiled dragon pillar, thirty-six more Taiyi cultivators immediately landed on the coiled dragon pillar from the spirit-catching ship!

This time, there was no suspense. A flash of white light, followed by a mournful cry of golden light, and the nine coiled dragon pillars showed no mercy, nor even the slightest intention to stop, as they smashed directly into the city.

Such a terrifying impact would have annihilated not only the mortals in the city, but also everything from third-level Earth Immortals to bacteria and insects.

Only Earth Immortals of the fourth rank or above, and even Taiyi Immortals, can barely dodge it!
But dodging doesn't mean you can escape. The moment the nine dragon pillars hit the ground, they took over the area of ​​100,000 miles. Any Taiyi who tried to escape within this range would have a phantom of a blue dragon on their body, as if they were running with a dragon on their back, and this dragon even had support.

It's like a giant kite; no matter how it flies, it can't escape.

In a short time, Wang Wu could clearly see that Yu Sheng reacted quickly and immediately took off running at an extremely fast speed, even shaking off the illusory image of the Azure Dragon on his back.

However, the next second he was stopped by the eighth-level Taiyi, who quickly and severely injured and captured him, throwing him directly into the cage.

In less than half a minute, the battle was over, and the entire city was reduced to ruins. Some were dead, some were imprisoned, and the city was slashed like vegetables.

At this moment, another team of Taiyi skilled in weapon crafting landed on the spirit-catching ship. They cleanly and efficiently dismantled and packed up the eternal immortal artifacts in the giant city, leaving nothing of value behind.

It was cleaned very thoroughly, as if the owner knew how to manage a household well.

Several hours later, the spirit-catching ship continued its journey. When it encountered similar giant cities, it always had one answer: either agree to forced conscription and confiscate their assets, or violently demolish them, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Moreover, it didn't matter which faction it was. There was even a city leader who shouted that he was the branch leader of the Divine Wood Immortal Alliance, but that didn't work either. He was still violently taken down.

"Could it be that all twelve Great Luo Immortals have left the cultivation world?"

Seeing this, Wang Wu couldn't help but feel curious, because only such a possibility could make the spirit-catching ship treat everyone equally.

In addition, he noticed a crucial point: the Nine Heavens Passage was gone. It seemed to have been shut down or blocked. In short, he had not seen a single Nine Heavens Passage open or in operation so far.

This cultivation world has truly undergone some kind of dramatic change.

Finally, Wang Wu had a very ominous premonition, because he had been searching for a long time but had not found the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, nor had he seen a spirit-catching ship chasing after them.

Without the continuous flow of spiritual energy brought by the twenty-four solar terms, it will not be so easy for all cultivators in the cultivation world to cultivate and practice as freely as before.

Thinking of this, Wang Wu no longer hesitated. He transformed himself into a commoner earth immortal and hid in a giant city, waiting for the spirit-catching ship to arrive.

His plan was to pretend to be arrested and then take the opportunity to slip through the net.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had he infiltrated the giant city and prepared himself to be conscripted than the spirit-catching ship turned back. He didn't know if it was because there wasn't enough room on the ship or because the spiritual energy had been depleted, so it had to go back to replenish its spiritual energy.

"We must escape. Staying here is certain death. So many great cities have been destroyed, and even the eternal immortal artifacts couldn't stop us. Now that the spirit-capturing ship has turned back, it's our chance to escape. Fellow Daoists, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

People in the city were shouting loudly.

In the past two days, one giant city after another has been destroyed before our eyes. Whether they are Earth Immortals or Grand Immortals, everyone in the cities is terrified, and even mortals are filled with fear.

At this moment, six Taiyi masters and more than fifty Dixian masters have gathered in the city to discuss countermeasures.

Interestingly, apart from the one in charge who was aboveboard, the other five Taiyi concealed their cultivation levels, transforming themselves into commoner Earth Immortals, just like Wang Wu. Wang Wu even recognized two of the Taiyi; they were the two who killed the little Azure Dragon and extracted its tendons.

It seems they were also driven to desperation by the pursuit.

"Are those Great Luo Immortals just going to sit idly by and let them run rampant like this?!"

A seemingly ordinary, newly emerged immortal asked, still bewildered.

His friend beside him gave a wry smile and briefly explained, "Those twelve Great Luo Golden Immortals have left the cultivation world. They have closed the Nine Heavens Passage, saying that they will establish the Twelve Celestial Realms in the Outer Heavens. From now on, only Taiyi True Immortals who meet their requirements will be qualified to leave the cultivation world."

"So, those who stayed in the Outer Heavens before were just lucky?"

"What are you thinking? Those wandering Taiyi cultivators in the Outer Heavens were either captured and killed or sent back. Now, the cultivation world is ruled by the remaining six half-step Daluo. They have each formed two new immortal alliances, one called the Heaven-Defying Immortal Alliance and the other called the Heaven-Breaking Immortal Alliance. They are not satisfied and want to reopen the Nine Heavens Passage, which is making life miserable for us beasts of burden!"
