Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 833 Breaking through the Nine Levels in One Go
The sky is vast and boundless, the air is vast and the color is vast.

On Luzhou Mountain, smoke and mist are mixed.

The smile on the man in the brocade robe's face suddenly froze, and he unconsciously raised his head to look into the distance.

The surroundings became quiet and silent. Not only him, but everyone here looked up at the sky.

In an instant, the sound of surging waves was heard in the sky, as if it came from a very far away, but it became louder and louder. After just a few breaths, it was so loud that everyone's eardrums were about to burst.

At the end, there was a sudden sound that split the sky, and then above the sky, a very bright water drop broke through the clouds, like a line of the Milky Way pouring down, or like a spring gushing out, and a sweet rain falling from the sky.

In just a moment, an overwhelming momentum came over!

The low-level cultivators of the Demon Alliance below were overwhelmed by this overwhelming momentum, and their faces suddenly changed. Because they did not know the identity of the newcomers, they were inevitably nervous. If they were not really afraid of the three envoys in front of them, they would have been defeated immediately.

"Who is here?!"

Cen Sheng and the other two looked tense and solemn, with some even having cold sweat on their foreheads, obviously having some bad suspicions.

But when the water flower flashed in the sky, a handsome young Taoist walked out. He was wearing an ink-colored water-made Taoist robe and surrounded by water rainbows. The spiritual energy around him roared and echoed, surging and undulating like the sea and the tide.

In an instant, Cen Sheng and the other two felt a jolt in their hearts, their eyes filled with fear.

"It's really Chen Mu!"

"What...what's going on?"

"The Sima Shi failed to contain him?!"

Whatever the reason, the result is obvious.

Chen Mu appeared before their eyes, and Sima Chenghong...

They slowly shifted their gaze, passing Chen Mu and looking behind him. The distant sky was as quiet as a dream, and there was no sign of any energy chasing them.

"It has been no more than two hours since the Sima Envoy left..."

Cen Sheng and the other two looked at each other and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

They were uneasy, so Xiao Qiang and others reacted much more directly.

Jin Yushan's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Chen, have you come here after completing your mission?"

Chen Mu smiled faintly without commenting. After looking back at Xiao Qiang who looked guilty, his eyes suddenly fixed. He swung his hand back towards the man in brocade robe, making a gesture of grasping it in mid-air.

The next moment, an inexplicable pulling force emerged from his palm, and the jade tree that had already fallen into the other party's hand suddenly shook violently.

The man in brocade robe was caught off guard. Even though he reacted quickly and tried his best to suppress the treasure tree in his hand, he still lost it again and again.

Within a few breaths, the jade tree turned into a stream of light and fell into Chen Mu's hands like a swallow returning to its nest.

Chen Mu shook his hand, causing the Jade Treasure Tree to shine again. He then laughed out loud and said, "Senior Sister Xiao, I wonder if this Jade Treasure Tree still suits your heart?"

In order to thank Xiao Qiang for telling him about the hundred-year agreement of the Soul Ancestor's inheritance, he specially selected this spiritual treasure as a thank-you gift for her.

Logically speaking, there was no need for such a generous reward, but he was grateful that Xiao Qiang had helped him more than once, so how could he be so perfunctory, so he said this.

Xiao Qiang was reluctant to accept it at first, but he insisted that she accept it solemnly and cherished it very much.

But I didn't expect that when they met again, this treasure was almost stolen by thieves...

Xiao Qiang frowned deeply and blamed herself, "I almost let down my junior brother's kindness today. I..."

Before she could finish her words, Chen Mu casually handed the treasure tree to her and said, "If it can help you, that will be the greatest use of this treasure. Senior Sister Xiao, don't treat it as a special thing. Whenever you encounter difficulties in the future, you can use it as much as you want."

Hearing this, Xiao Qiang paused for a moment, sighed inwardly, and reached out to take the treasure tree: "Junior brother, you are right, I understand..."

Ancestor Yun Xi looked a little embarrassed and said softly, "To be honest, it was also our fault that we failed to protect him."

She and Jin Yushan swore solemnly that they would protect the law, but the man in brocade robe succeeded so easily, which made her feel ashamed.

But this is not the time to discuss who is responsible.

Chen Mu waved his hand to stop everyone from talking, and then looked at Cen Sheng and the other two.

Cen Sheng and the other two looked gloomy and asked, "Chen Shangzhen, I wonder where the Sima Envoy is now?"

Chen Mu smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he slapped out a "Heaven-shaking Hand" with his backhand. The sky immediately showed yin and yang, black and white, and then a strong wind blew. In the wind and clouds, a giant hand holding up the sky smashed down!

The expressions of Cen Sheng and the other two changed. They no longer had time to ask any more questions. They hurriedly gathered all their magic power and worked together to erect a black barrier to block them.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the barrier only lasted for a few breaths before it collapsed and shattered.

Cen Sheng and the other two were terrified. They didn't expect that even if they worked together, they wouldn't be able to stop it.

The brocade robe made his eyes flicker, with a hint of heartache, as if he was struggling with something.

When he saw Chen Mu start to attack again, his eyes finally became firm. He stepped forward and whispered, "Master Cen, Chen Mu's magic power is extraordinary, and his Taoism is powerful. It is difficult to fight him head-on. However, I have a treasure that can wear down his spirit. At the very least, it can stop him in his tracks."

Cen Sheng hurriedly said: "Why don't you use it quickly?!"

The man in brocade robe had a look of pity on his face and opened his mouth to speak.

Cen Sheng had worked with him for a long time, so he knew what he was going to say. So he quickly interrupted him, saying, "After this, you can take 50% of the credit!"

Another person also urged: "Don't bargain at this critical moment!"

The envoy in brocade robe nodded heavily when he heard this, and took out a yellow array diagram with all kinds of things painted on it, and threw it into the air without stopping. Then a beam of light was cast down, heading straight towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was aware of it, but the speed of the beam of light was so fast that even though he had reacted, he was still absorbed into it.

Cen Sheng was delighted when he saw this, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this fellow traveler.

Even though his cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, these strange and bizarre treasures appear in endlessly, making it hard to guard against them.

He asked, "What kind of treasure is this? How could it have such power?"

The brocade-robed emissary smiled contentedly and replied, "This formation diagram is called 'Wanxiang Wuji' and contains nine major formations. After I obtained it, I poured countless efforts into completing it."

"I dare to assert that even if Chen Mu is extremely powerful, as long as he enters my formation, he will have to break through nine levels in a row. It is such a difficult task that I don't think he can get out in two days."

"When the demon cave solidifies and the demons quietly attack, we can then retire after completing our mission and simply wait for the reward afterwards. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Hearing this, Cen Sheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be difficult to break out of the formation unless the person in charge is defeated. Even though Chen Mu is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, if he concentrates on manipulating the formation in the brocade robe, two days should be enough to do it.

"Don't be too happy too soon..."

Cen Sheng's tone returned to a steady state. He looked at the glittering formation diagram in the air and asked curiously, "What is the method of the first formation?"

The emissary in brocade robes was full of pride and replied, "There are five blood spirits in the first formation. They might be able to cause Chen Mu to suffer a great loss."

Cen Sheng's heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Using blood and soul as a formation, you are willing to..."

He nodded: "I wonder how many years have you raised it?"

"It has been nourished with essence and blood for nine years." Cen Sheng was surprised. Blood and soul are not uncommon in the Demonic Sky Alliance. Almost every envoy has used them.

However, this monster is cruel by nature, so if a monk wants to drive it, he must feed it with his own essence and blood.

This is nothing. The key is that for every year of feeding this monster, the cultivator needs to pay three years of lifespan. Although the effort is proportional to the reward, and the blood and soul will be 30% more ferocious than before, when it comes to the actual lifespan, even among the demon cultivators, there are few who are proficient in this.

Take the five blood souls in the first formation for example. Just one extra year will reduce their lifespan by fifteen years, and nine years means a total of one hundred and thirty-five years.

Even if it can be exchanged for great power, how much life will be left?

Cen Sheng clicked his tongue in his heart, and said with a serious expression: "After this is done, you can take 60% of the credit."

The man in brocade robe was startled, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise...

Looking at Jin Yushan and others again, they had frowns on their faces and were also looking at the formation diagram in the air, but their mood was completely opposite to that of Cen Sheng and the other two.

The Taoist from Xuantian Mansion was restless and was the first to speak: "Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Chen is trapped, why haven't we rescued him yet?"

When he asked this question, Xiao Qiang and the others came forward.

Jin Yushan's face was filled with worry, his eyes fixed on the formation diagram in the air. He whispered, "The formation diagram is not a means of confinement like other methods. I'm afraid that if I act rashly, it will affect Fellow Daoist Chen..."

"But we can't just do nothing!" Taoist Xuantianfu continued.

Jin Yushan nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Cen Sheng and the other two, his hands gradually surging with magical power: "Junior brother is right, since we can't target the formation diagram, then we can break through them."

"it is good!"

Just as they were about to take action, they saw the formation diagram in the air suddenly tremble.

Both sides stopped their movements and looked at the battle formation diagram.

Among them, the envoy in brocade robe had his eyes wide open, and had a bad premonition.

After a while, a dazzling beam of light suddenly burst out from the location of the formation diagram, and then there was a loud bang, the formation mechanism broke apart, the turbid air dissipated, and a dazzling water light rushed out from it and rushed into the second formation.

The second formation was even more unbearable. This time, after only a hundred breaths, the sound of the sky cracking was heard again. Countless spiritual energy and turbid air mixed together, and a stream of water rushed out from it again, heading straight for the third formation!

Not long after, this formation also suffered the same mistake and was broken by Shui Hua. Then came the fourth formation, the fifth formation, the sixth formation...

However, in just a short moment, Chen Mu was unstoppable and cut through seven formations in a row. The various methods carefully arranged on the brocade robe were like paper in front of him, and they were destroyed with ease, and could not hinder his steps at all.

Cen Sheng was extremely shocked. In the past, he had only heard about how powerful Chen Mu was, and he was a little dismissive. But now, seeing him with his own eyes, he found that he was several times more powerful than the rumors said.

Seeing that this square formation could not hold out for long, he felt a little anxious.

The man in the brocade robe had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He had just boasted that he could stop Chen Mu for at least two days, but the scene in front of him slapped him hard in the face.

Looking at the formation diagram in the sky that was flashing faster and faster, he said anxiously, "General Cen, it's not appropriate to just defend without attacking."

Cen Sheng quickly asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Someone needs to go up and tangle with him, to hold him back from the side, so that he can't break the formation calmly."

Cen Sheng was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I'll go!"

The brocade-robed envoy spoke again: "The remaining monks of Beiyuan will not stand idly by..."

The last emissary gritted his teeth and said, "I will try my best and should be able to stop them for a few hours."

Cen Sheng glanced at him and said, "After I've worn down some of Chen Mu's energy, I'll come out to help you."

"The devil's calamity is right before our eyes. We should delay it as long as we can. As long as we can defend this devil's cave, everything will be worth it!"

"If we are truly defeated, we must inform you in advance so we can evacuate together..."

The man in the brocade robe nodded to the two of them, and then Cen Sheng became energetic and rushed towards the formation in the air at a high speed.

Jin Yushan and others' eyes flashed, and they hurriedly took action to stop them.

But the last envoy had already prepared himself for action. He roared and scattered thousands of souls around him, blocking the two sides.

War is imminent...

In the formation diagram, Cen Sheng flew into the sky, staring at the ground below with an extremely serious expression.

At this moment, Chen Mu had already rushed into the eighth formation. Cen Sheng thought to himself that based on his previous speed of breaking the formation, this heavy formation should not last long. The only way to slow down his progress was to wait for Chen Mu to rush out and then try to fight him.

A hundred breaths later, a ray of water was seen breaking through the heavy barrier, and then a long rainbow of energy was released, and it was about to enter the last level of the formation.

When Cen Sheng saw this, he couldn't let him do it so easily. He immediately shouted and threw a magic treasure at him.

When Chen Mu was flying away, he suddenly felt that the aura here was different, so he shook his body without even looking.

In an instant, a nine-story pagoda as majestic as a mountain appeared in the sky, emitting countless rays of light.

Before the magic treasure could get close, it was blocked by layers of light, and then it was consumed and kept trembling and wailing.

After a while, there was a loud bang, and the turbid light suddenly dissipated and fell away.

Seeing that the magic treasure was destroyed, but still couldn't stop Chen Mu at all, Cen Sheng was shocked and angry. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else. He made up his mind, shook his whole body, and spit out a pool of thick black water from his mouth with a "wow".

As soon as this water came into contact with the turbid spiritual energy coming from all around, it began to whimper and a demonic body emerged from it.

This demon is three meters tall, with wings on its back, long hair hanging down like fire, and a pair of dark eyes like the abyss, which can capture people's hearts.

After the demon appeared, Cen Sheng didn't even look at the result. He quickly retreated dozens of miles, took out the protective treasure, and protected himself inside.

This is a derivative of his fundamental magic power, which can summon this demonic body called "Lihuo Huan Yin", which is extremely ferocious and its combat power is not inferior to that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, it has a fatal flaw, which is that this demon most likely does not distinguish between friend and foe. If you are unlucky, you may see this demon fighting with the caster.

He had experienced it before, so he was very secretive about this method and would not easily show it to others.

But now he could no longer hide. As long as this demon targeted Chen Mu, he could at least drag him along...

Cen Sheng looked over with hope, but found that the demon body was motionless. He was so anxious that he wanted to shout out.

But in the next moment, the demon in the field suddenly turned his head, and his dark eyes fell on a person's figure.

Unfortunately, that person was Cen Sheng himself.

"I!"

Cen Sheng was furious and cursed inwardly several times, but looking at the demon body rushing towards him rapidly, he had no choice but to disperse this method.

Seeing this farce come to an end, Chen Mu laughed loudly towards the sky and stepped into the ninth-level formation without hesitation.

In an instant, the sky was filled with colorful lights and bursts of roars continued.

After another two cups of tea, there was a loud noise in the sky, and the ninth level of the formation was broken by a burst of water spray!
