I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 113 The Six Seals of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth

Ying Chan knows.

In our sect's Xuandu, only those disciples with a solid foundation and the potential to cultivate a superior Golden Core can be listed as true disciples.

But what exactly is the charm of such a person?
Now Qiao Honghu was presented before Ying Chan.

As Qiao Honghu channeled his magical power, Ying Chan, who was beside him, suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he were a small boat on the sea, drifting with the wind and waves.

His robes fluttered in the wind, his hair flew in the air, and he heard a rustling sound in his ears. He looked down and scanned his surroundings, only to find that the trees below were swaying.

"Who goes there...?!"

At this moment, the cultivators in the palace seemed to have noticed the commotion as well. A voice came out, and in just a few words, the tone changed from surprise and doubt to horror.

In the next instant, a magnificent light shot up from the top of Qiao Honghu's head, transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the sky and pressed down on the mountaintop with a thunderous roar.

Ying Chan heard a deafening roar!

The palaces and pavilions on the mountaintop shattered instantly, and as the giant hand pressed down, they were all engulfed in smoke and dust.

Immediately, the entire green mountain seemed to tremble slightly, and countless rocks rolled down, causing houses in the mountains to collapse one after another.

"Ok?"

Qiao Honghu frowned: "I didn't use my full strength, how could I have caused the mountain to shake?"

Why is the foundation of this mountain so unstable?

In a flash, he withdrew the remaining power, and the large hand slowly rose, flying back behind his head and transforming into a dazzling light.

Ying Chan was unaware that Qiao Honghu hadn't even used his full strength. Seeing this earth-shattering attack, he was immediately shaken and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, what kind of supernatural power is this?"

Qiao Honghu said leisurely, "This is the 'Six Seals of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth,' which is also one of the Eight Great Divine Powers of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth."

At this moment, a beam of dark light suddenly emerged from the ruins on the mountaintop, rose into the sky, and manifested as a young Taoist priest with an ashen face, shouting: "Who suddenly attacked this humble Taoist priest?"

Qiao Honghu ignored him and continued, "This divine power has six transformations: 'Heaven and Earth Shattering,' 'Heaven and Earth Supporting,' 'Heaven and Earth Grabbing,' 'Heaven and Earth Locking,' 'Heaven and Earth Refining,' and 'Heaven and Earth Changing.'"

"Every time a transformation is successfully achieved, the power of the Heaven and Earth Seal will surge accordingly..."

As he spoke, he suddenly let out a cold snort: "You think you can escape from me by using a trick?"

In response, a tremor ran through the air not far away, and a figure fell from the sky, while the young Taoist who had manifested as black light suddenly vanished.

Ying Chan then realized that the young Taoist was just a mirage, and even his appearance was unreal.

The figure that fell out was indeed a gray-robed cultivator, middle-aged in appearance, with bloodstains between his mouth and nose. He had already been terrified by Qiao Honghu's supernatural powers. Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, he hurriedly cried out, "Spare me, fellow Daoist, spare me...!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured by the previous attack.

Qiao Honghu said calmly, "If you want to escape death, then stop with any more useless actions."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed cultivator trembled and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not. I am a cultivator from the Sky-Piercing Sect. I have not yet had the pleasure of learning from you, fellow Daoist..."

"Still making noise?"

Qiao Honghu narrowed his eyes, and the gray-robed cultivator immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Honghu snorted coldly before saying indifferently, "Skyscraper Sect, what a prestigious name."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed cultivator's expression changed slightly.

"Let me ask you," Qiao Honghu said, "What is the purpose of the Ermotian Sect's forcibly occupying the Ling Mountain of the Huaquan Sect?"

The gray-robed cultivator remained silent for a moment before honestly saying, "I dare not deceive you, fellow Daoist. I have discovered a mineral vein beneath this sacred mountain, which contains a considerable amount of 'Spiritual Essence True Gold.' Therefore, I was tempted by greed and wanted to plunder a batch of it before the Huaquan Sect discovered it."

“Spiritual Pure Gold?” Ying Chan’s heart stirred: “So this is it. No wonder these unorthodox sects risked everything to seize the Spirit Mountain and mine its veins…”

This Spiritual Pure Gold is a precious material for refining weapons; it is not only rare but also valuable because of its versatility.

No matter what kind of magical artifact it is, as long as a piece of pure spiritual gold is added, its quality will be greatly improved. It is also excellent for refining materials, making it the best choice for cultivators to refine magical artifacts.

Qiao Honghu suddenly realized, and sneered, "Plunder a batch?"

"You monstrous beings, you've hollowed out the entire bottom of this mountain! Such destructive exploitation... you deserve to die!"

The gray-robed cultivator's expression changed: "Wait! Killing me is pointless, fellow Daoist, killing me is pointless!"

"I am willing to atone for my sins. I am willing to serve you like a slave. There are still many of my fellow disciples in the underground mines. If they were all hidden away, it would take you a lot of effort to find them. I can do good deeds to redeem myself and bring them all out..."

"Ha...you wicked man, you are indeed cunning and slippery."

Qiao Honghu laughed angrily, "Fine, I'll grant you a chance."

"Summon your fellow disciples. I will capture you and hand you over to the Huaquan Sect for trial. Let's see if they are willing to spare your life."

The gray-robed cultivator was overjoyed upon hearing this and repeatedly replied, "Good, good! I will summon my fellow disciples immediately..."

As he spoke, he took out a talisman, made a hand seal and chanted for a moment, then released his hand, and the talisman flew into the mountains.

But after waiting for a while, no one appeared in the mountains. The gray-robed cultivator was so anxious that he paced around in circles. Suddenly, he flew down to the top of the mountain and kept throwing talismans inward.

Qiao Honghu watched coldly, then suddenly said in a calm tone, "I should have already told you not to do anything useless again."

"Too clever for his own good—"

Before he finished speaking, a bright light flashed behind his head, and a huge hand that blotted out the sky reappeared, pressing down fiercely on the mountaintop.

Unexpectedly, the gray-robed cultivator was not alarmed upon seeing this. Instead, he burst into wild laughter and shouted, "Activate the formation!"

Ying Chan saw a hazy yellow light emerge from the mountain, blocking Qiao Honghu's 'Heaven and Earth Seal'. The moment the two touched, the earth shook and the mountains trembled!

"Hahahaha!"

The gray-robed cultivator laughed wildly, "Come on, use your supernatural powers again! Break through this formation that connects to the earth's energy, and destroy this entire Spirit Mountain!"

"Let me let you know first that in the underground mines, not only are there my fellow disciples, but also thousands of mortals who are mining for me!"

Ying Chan raised an eyebrow.

He had previously thought that this demon was willing to betray his fellow disciples in order to seek a sliver of hope for survival, but it turns out that he had such a conspiracy, actually binding thousands of mortals as hostages.

Indeed, cunning.

"Oh?" Qiao Honghu narrowed his eyes. "So you're trying to threaten me with this?"

"Ha... Fellow Daoist, I know that your orthodox Daoist school cherishes life and will not abandon mortals."

The gray-robed cultivator took a deep breath: "How about this, fellow Daoist, you may leave."

"After you leave, I will immediately take all my fellow disciples and Ling Su Zhenjin and depart to return to Mount Ling..."

Qiao Honghu listened, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Who told you that a magic array connected to the earth's energy could restrain me?"

The gray-robed cultivator's expression changed slightly. "I know you are incredibly powerful, but are you perhaps unaware that if the formation is broken, the earth's energy will dissipate, and this mountain will immediately collapse..."

Qiao Honghu ignored him and continued, "Junior brother, watch closely. This is the second transformation of the 'Six Seals of the Profound Heaven and Earth'—"

"Supporting Heaven and Suppressing Earth!"
