Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 832: Jade Treasure Tree Breaking the Altar

The thunder slowly faded away, and the world returned to darkness.

Chen Mu folded his sleeves behind his back, frowned slightly, and his eyes moved, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to the pitch-black magic pillar.

Now that all obstacles have been removed, it is time to dispel the void.

Looking at the Jade Purity Order again, it was flickering with light, surrounded by pure air. Without the blood-red light blocking it, it was splitting into beams one after another, continuously exploring deeper into the Demon Pillar.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand and pointed, and magic power gushed out like a tide. The light of Yuqingling suddenly became brighter, and the rolling clear air rushed into the dark magic cave like a fierce dragon crossing the river, turning the world upside down, which was very eye-catching.

But at this moment he was busy supplying his magic power and couldn't spare the time to look.

But if there were someone else present at this time and looking over, they would be able to see a clear dragon flying back and forth and circling in the magic pillar. Wherever it passed, the clear air and the demonic breath mixed together, consuming each other and making a humming sound, like oil boiling in a raging fire.

This went on for about half an hour.

But he felt a sudden tremor between heaven and earth, followed by a distant sound echoing, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and fell on the last finger of demonic breath.

"Whoo~"

A breeze blew at the right time, and the last trace of black quietly retreated.

As the saying goes, when the sun shines on Lingzhou, the fog dissipates and the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds wander together.

Look at the beautiful sky before my eyes, where is the feeling of being in the devil's realm just now?
Chen Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his mind seemingly brightening with the bright daylight...

After obtaining the talisman from Lord Dongzhen, he was anxious to clear out the Beiyuan Demon Cave so that he could go to support the Dao Palace.

And the moment he saw Sima Chenghong, he didn't want to waste even a moment.

But after he truly dispelled the void here, his thoughts changed a little.

Han Cang led his men to the Black and White Taoist Palace. If he was really confident of seizing the magic cave from Ming Chenzi, then why would he need to send Sima Chenghong to restrain him?

It can be seen that his real purpose is not the magic cave in the Black and White Palace, but simply wants to involve Ming Chenzi and others to buy precious time for the rest of the battle.

In that case, there was no need for him to rush there.

After all, according to the prior inference of the True Lords of the various Xuanmen sects, it would take at least three days from the appearance of the magic cave to its final condensation connecting the two worlds.

If he ran at full speed, he would be able to reach the Black and White Taoist Palace within a day.

With these extra two days, we must completely suppress Beiyuan just in case.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and he looked towards the south of Beiyuan, and suddenly he left with a flash of light...

.......
earlier.

Beiyuan, Luzhou Mountain.

Cen Sheng, the envoy of the Demonic Sky Alliance, sat on the cloud raft, directing his demon cultivators to set up a formation.

Soon, a spiritual light flew over. An elder saw it and reached out to take it. He opened it and suddenly shouted, "Envoy Cen, the cultivators from Beiyuan have gathered at the Fushan River and are now rushing here!"

Cen Sheng's heart trembled, and he asked, "But is it confirmed?"

The elder replied, "This letter came from the spies that the Alliance Sect had deployed in advance. It must be correct."

Cen Sheng sighed secretly, but his expression remained unchanged. He said in a deep voice, "Beiyuan Chen Mu is unfathomable. It seems I need to deal with him personally."

The elder was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "I was anxious and didn't explain clearly. The letter said that Chen Mu went north alone and did not travel with his disciples."

"Oh?"

Cen Sheng's eyes narrowed as he murmured, "Dividing the troops into two groups, they seem confident..."

He was a little surprised, but at the same time he felt a sense of relief.

Chen Mu's reputation spread far and wide. If he faced him, he would have to fight desperately. However, if he only had to deal with the other cultivators in Beiyuan, it would be much easier.

Another emissary in brocade robes beside him suddenly said, "Of course he's confident. The demon cave in the north is empty, and as far as I know, Huo Chen is guarding it alone. If Chen Mu attacks with all his strength, how long can Huo Chen hold out?"

"I'm afraid we will be defeated within an hour." Another envoy continued.

Unlike the virtual cave in the north, this is a real magic cave, so the energy invested by the Demonic Sky Alliance is naturally far greater than that of the former.

Therefore, there are three envoys guarding this place alone.

Among them, Cen Sheng is the most powerful, with his cultivation reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, and he ranks 21st on the Taixuan list.

If we put aside the variable of Chen Mu, this configuration is enough to guard this magic cave for two days.

The brocade robed envoy nodded and said, "So we must not let our guard down. Chen Mu will come and kill us at any moment."

When Cen Sheng and the other man heard this, their expressions gradually became solemn.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"There's no need for you to worry about Chen Mu. I'll take care of it myself."

"who!"

The expressions of Cen Sheng and the other two changed. Who was lurking here? They didn't even notice anyone!

The smoke dissipated, and a tall figure appeared in front of the three people.

"Sima Envoy?"

They breathed a sigh of relief and bowed their heads in greeting.

Cen Sheng was puzzled and asked, "Why did the Sima envoy suddenly come here?"

Sima Chenghong remained calm and said, "It's a mission assigned by the alliance."

Seeing that he had no intention of saying more, Cen Sheng and the other two, who were also well aware of the rules of the Alliance Sect, said nothing more, but only whispered, "The envoy Sima just mentioned dealing with Chen Mu. I wonder if that's true?"

Sima Chenghong chuckled and said, "Of course it's true. You don't need to worry about it. Just focus on the things at hand."

Cen Sheng was delighted when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. Apart from Chen Mu, even if ten more Northern Plains cultivators come, we won't be afraid at all!"

The brocade-robed eunuch nodded in agreement, "That's right. This time, we're not going to fight the Xuanmen to a victory, but to defend the Demon Cave. When they get here, we won't have to fight them head-on. We just need to guard the entrance and exit. How can they defeat us?"

Hearing this, Sima Chenghong nodded repeatedly, seeming to be very satisfied.

He flicked his sleeves and said, "If you can defend this magic cave, I will commend you for your achievements afterwards!"

After saying this, he transformed into a mysterious light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Cen Sheng and the other two smiled at each other, and became full of energy for a moment.

After an hour, Jin Yushan and his companions finally arrived here.

Looking at the Demon Alliance monks who had already set up the formation, they all frowned secretly.

Before the Demon Cave actually appeared in the world, the three Beiyuan sects had tried to seize the initiative in advance, but they did not gain any advantage over the Demon Alliance.

But the problem is that the Demon Alliance has not achieved any victory, so after the Demon Cave appeared, everyone should have been on the same starting line.

But looking at the current situation, how could the opponent be so quick that he even set up the formation?

Could it be that the heaven and earth are changing, the demons are rising and disappearing, and the Demonic Alliance can accurately grasp the specific time when the demon cave will appear, so they have made preparations in advance?

They slowly shook their heads. Regardless of the reason, the present was the most important thing. Even if they had set up the formation in advance, it didn't matter. They would just have to break through it...

Cen Sheng and the other two naturally noticed something. The one in brocade robes laughed loudly across the formation, "Fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. Why are you so anxious? Why not have a drink with us across the curtain?"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several green lights flew out, landing in front of Jin Yushan and others and swirling around. They turned out to be exquisite green and white wine cups, with the wine in the cups not spilling, and the aroma was fragrant.

Beiyuan Qunxiu's expressions darkened, and anger suddenly arose in his heart.

This was especially true for Jin Yushan, the leader, who shot a flash of inspiration towards the wine cup in front of him.

But there was a series of crisp crackling sounds, and the wine cups in front of everyone broke one after another, spilling the wine all over the floor.

"How could you, a demon cultivator from Central China, come all the way here? We are the masters of this place." Jin Yushan replied in a deep voice.

The man in brocade robe laughed and was about to say something else when he saw that Jin Yushan had cast a spell to cut off the connection, so he turned around and started discussing with his fellow Beiyuan.

He frowned, his smile disappeared in an instant, and he glanced at Cen Sheng and the other two.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to break through the formation for a while."

Cen Sheng smiled coldly and spoke confidently.

Outside, Jin Yushan looked around at his fellow Daoists from Beiyuan, frowned, and asked, "Fellow Daoists, is there anyone who is good at breaking the ban?"

With three demon cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul stage in charge, if they were to attack the formation with brute force, it would take an unknown amount of time for them to succeed.

If it were in the past, they would have had enough time to waste with the demon cultivators, but now is not the time to waste time.

"Brother, I'm coming!"

Seeing that no one responded, another Yuanying Taoist from Xuantian Mansion could not stand it anymore and stood up shouting.

Jin Yushan sighed in his heart. As a fellow disciple, how could he not know the abilities of his fellow disciple?
It’s difficult to break the formation in front of you!

But for now, I can only treat it as a try. I don't expect to break it in one fell swoop. It would be good if I can dissipate some of the power of the formation.

Everyone made way for him and did not forget to give him some encouragement.

The Taoist from Xuantian Mansion stood firm, his robe sleeves fluttering in the wind, and he shouted loudly, and a shadow of a sky shuttle suddenly appeared behind him.

The Sky Shuttle was over a thousand feet tall, its surface covered with mysterious patterns. As its magical power grew stronger, it seemed to solidify into a physical object, rising to the top of the formation altar, and then falling down like a solitary peak.

"boom--!"

But with a loud bang, the Sky Shuttle successfully penetrated into the curtain formed by the formation altar, breaking a big hole and stirring up billowing smoke and dust that spread out.

The Beiyuan group of cultivators were suddenly delighted, but before they could laugh out loud, they saw the man in brocade robes waving a small flag, and the curtain immediately returned to its original state without any sign of collapse.

"Hahaha……"

He laughed loudly and said sarcastically, "With just this little bit of Taoist magic, you think you can break my 'Yuan Sha Ling Tan Formation'?"

The Taoist priest from Xuantian Mansion suddenly flushed red in the face and snorted angrily, "You scoundrels, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!"

The brocade-robed envoy seemed amused by him. He gave him a deep look but didn't respond. He just glanced around and said, "Anyone else, feel free to come forward and give it a try!"

The Taoist from Xuantian Mansion became even more furious after being ignored, but faced with the formation that was like an insurmountable chasm, he could only let it go.

Jin Yushan sighed again. His junior fellow apprentice had been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, and because of his noble family background, his practice had been smooth sailing, so he still had a pure heart. He hoped that after this training, he could make some progress.

"If there's no trick, then we'll attack together!"

He made up his mind and wanted to talk to everyone. He couldn't be stuck here.

"Fellow Daoist Jin..." someone suddenly spoke.

Jin Yushan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a green dress, whose cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul. He couldn't help but ask, "Does Fellow Daoist Xiao have any questions?"

Xiao Qiang shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Jin, I may have a way to break the ban."

Jin Yushan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you serious? I wonder what method it is?"

Xiao Qiang did not answer in a hurry, but stretched out her hand and pointed out a green light, which flew into the air with a puff of smoke and turned into a green tree about four feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and verdant leaves.

And in the tree crown, there are many fruits, each one is as big as a baby's fist, and looks colorful and gorgeous.

"This is?"

The monks present were all connoisseurs of valuables, and they could immediately see the powerful spirit in this item.

Xiao Qiang then introduced, "This treasure is called the 'Jade Treasure Tree'. It bears three different fruits: one for attack, one for defense, and one specifically for dispelling various spiritual powers. Perhaps it can dispel this formation..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately walked around the treasure tree and looked at it again and again.

While Fushan Changhe Yunxi Patriarch was delighted, he also asked, "Junior Brother Xiao, why have I never seen you use this treasure before?"

Xiao Qiang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "My nephew obtained this treasure by chance, and I have never had a place to use it before..."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Patriarch Yunxi also stopped talking. After looking at Jin Yushan and nodding, he said in a clear voice: "Junior Brother Xiao, please feel free to try. I and my fellow Taoists will protect you!"

"Yes."

Xiao Qiang took the order and stepped forward. She pinched her fingers and made the treasure tree shake gently, causing many emerald fruits to fall. Then she pointed forward and said, "Go!"

Those green fruits flew towards the formation together. In just a moment, dozens of rainbow lights exploded in the formation. After the rainbow light exploded, it split into countless tiny rays of light, and its power did not diminish at all.

In just a dozen breaths, the number increased to tens of thousands, causing a rumbling sound underground.

Feeling the power of the formation rapidly disappearing, Cen Sheng and the other two were horrified.

They also didn't expect that the "Yuansha Lingtan Formation" that was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of several Nascent Soul cultivators could be so vulnerable in front of a precious tree?
"Good baby..."

The man in the brocade robe was muttering to himself, and his eyes were full of passion as he looked at Baoshu.

Everyone who knows him knows that he doesn't love beauties or status, he only loves all kinds of strange and unusual treasures.

The "Yuansha Lingtan Formation" is the formation diagram in his collection. He was reluctant to contribute it today, but after seeing this precious tree, he felt that everything was worth it.

He rolled his eyes and quietly made a hand gesture.

After a while, the "Yuansha Spiritual Altar Formation" was completely destroyed. Xiao Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to put away the jade tree.

But at this moment, the envoy in the brocade robe suddenly shouted, and the broken formation altar hummed, exhaled the last wisp of gray smoke, and quickly circled around the jade tree.

The next moment, Xiao Qiang felt as if her soul was pricked by a needle. When she came to her senses, she saw that the Jade Tree was flying towards her uncontrollably.

She became anxious and was about to chase after him.

However, Jin Yushan and Elder Yun Xi were even faster than her. They were quite ashamed and angry and used their own methods to force the envoy in brocade robe to return the treasure tree.

However, Cen Sheng and the other person were not idle either. They laughed and took the attack for the brocade robe envoy.

The envoy in brocade robes grasped the Jade Tree, casually lifted it up and looked at it, exclaiming in ecstasy, "Good treasure, good treasure, you are mine!"

The sound rolls in and spreads throughout this world.

However, before the sound echoed too far, a low sound was heard in the distant sky, like the sound of cutting ice and shattering jade, without a single rise or fall, which made everyone present tremble.

"You are so bold! You even dared to steal my thank-you gift..."
