In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 120 50 Powerful Figures

The repeated failures of the major factions made them increasingly impatient, just like gamblers who were blinded by greed. The more they lost, the more they wanted to win, but they only lost more and more until they lost everything.

The Yin-Yang Sect is in a similar situation now. Unlike the other major sects, which only lost some people, they have even invested their sacred weapon, the Yin-Yang Mirror. How could they not be anxious?

Without the Yin-Yang Mirror, the strength of their Yin-Yang Sect has decreased by at least 30%. It can be said that the reason they haven't been swallowed up by other major sects is entirely due to the sect's internal resources.

These are the saints, saint kings, and so on, who are sealed within the divine source.

However, there is a problem here: the foundation of the Immortal Holy Land is different from that of the Great Religion.

First and foremost is strength. Immortal powers like the Ancient Desolate Families generally have a foundation of Great Saints! And not just one. With such strength, as long as they don't encounter the Dark Turmoil, they don't need to worry about being attacked.

When Jiang Taixu was rescued, after the Jiang family sent the Hengyu Furnace to the Holy City, their ancestral home was besieged. However, before they could even unleash their full power, they only emitted a trace of holy might, which forced everyone to retreat.

However, major sects like the Yin-Yang Sect are not as good. First of all, they are much weaker in terms of strength. Generally speaking, their foundation does not include Great Saints, but rather Saints or Saint Kings.

Secondly, even if there really is a Great Sage, he would be the kind who is about to die.

The reason for this is that the sealing methods are different.

When the immortal forces sealed their foundation, they used Divine Source Liquid. Divine Source Liquid was rarely formed naturally in the ancient era; it was all refined by the Great Emperors themselves.

Therefore, only immortal forces that have produced a Great Emperor have a large amount of Divine Source Liquid to use. Of course, this stuff is also dwindling as it is used, since no new Great Emperors have emerged, making it a non-renewable resource.

The major sects have never produced a Great Emperor, which means they can't find the Divine Source Liquid at all. And if they don't use the Divine Source Liquid, they can only use the method of piecing together Divine Source Blocks.

For example, one could use divine source blocks to craft a coffin, and then have a saint lie inside and seal himself away.

This is acceptable, but since the coffin is not a single piece, even with the best technique, there will still be small gaps.

Over time, these gaps will cause the person who is trapped inside to slowly lose their vitality.

In this way, the foundation of the great sects will naturally die out, and their numbers will become fewer and fewer. Even those who are still alive will be nearing the end of their lifespan and will have little fighting power left.

Take the Yin-Yang Sect for example. If they cannot reclaim the Yin-Yang Mirror as soon as possible, then someone will harass them, or even try to draw out the Yin-Yang Sect's true strength.

Once the true power is unleashed, regardless of whether the seal is broken or not, as long as the saint inside awakens, his life force will naturally dissipate, making it difficult to seal him again.

Those who used the Divine Source Liquid were not affected. As long as they did not completely break free from the seal, they would not lose their life force and could even unleash their holy might to repel the enemy.

This is similar to the Holy City War back then, where the Undying Queen was shouting to the various forces in the Holy City from within the Divine Source.

At that time, she faced several imperial weapons, yet she showed absolutely no fear.

Firstly, she was already a quasi-emperor, so imperial weapons posed little threat to her. Secondly, she sealed herself with divine source liquid, so she wasn't worried about her life force leaking out, and naturally she was fearless.

"Holy Lord, in the past few days, several of our strongholds in the Eastern Wilderness have been wiped out, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of outer disciples and more than ten inner disciples."

Inside the council hall of the Yin-Yang Sect, all the high-ranking members were present to summarize the intelligence gathered recently.

"It must have been Yaochi and the Jiang family who did this. They're standing up for Zhang Taichu. It's outrageous! We discussed it with them before establishing our base in the Eastern Wilderness, and now they're going back on their word?"

"Hmph, they dared to destroy our outpost in the Eastern Wilderness, then we'll destroy their outpost in the Central Plains. Who's afraid of who?"

An elder impulsively shouted, but his words were not accepted by the others. After all, no matter how loudly one shouted, the Yin-Yang Mirror could not be brought back.

Without its sacred weapon, the Yin-Yang Sect's influence has diminished considerably.

"The most important thing now is to retrieve the Yin-Yang Mirror and kill Zhang Taichu, using the treasures on his body to make up for our losses."

"That's right. If we can't do this, more and more forces will try to take advantage of us, and we'll face more and more trouble!"

After some discussion, the new leader of the Yin-Yang Sect decided to continue sending experts to kill Zhang Taichu, while also contacting all forces that had grudges against Zhang Taichu.

Especially those forces that suffered losses in Wanlong Nest, which is the root of their hatred with Zhang Taichu and the key to their alliance, would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

"Previously, in order to share fewer resources, we didn't involve all the forces, but this time we have no choice but to do so."

"And then there's the Ji family. That Ji Laoba isn't a peaceful person. I heard he had a big argument with the Ji family's Holy Master over this matter. He must be unwilling to accept defeat, so he sent people to find him. He must still have a lot of treasures left behind by the Void Emperor."

"Indeed, this time our people died from the formation, most likely a remnant formation at the Great Emperor level. To counter it, only a remnant formation at the same Great Emperor level can work. We can only rely on the Ji family for this."

The Yin-Yang Sect's prediction was accurate. Ji Laoba was scolded by the Ji family's Holy Master and punished with ten years of solitary confinement. He was extremely unhappy and even more resentful.

After all, although he said that he had pushed the matter to Ji Ruhai and that it had not caused any loss to the entire Ji family.

But he knew in his heart whether there was any loss. Putting aside the damage to his reputation, that Void Talisman alone was an irreplaceable treasure.

Now that Ji Ruhai is dead and the Void Talisman has been stolen, how could he be willing to accept this?

So when the Yin-Yang Sect found him, he agreed to help without much hesitation.

This time, Ji Laoba sent out four powerful figures at once, and these four people also brought a large amount of array-setting materials, preparing to set up the Void Emperor's incomplete array to deal with the Black Emperor's Boundless Killing Array.

Of course, they don't know it's the Boundless Killing Array yet, but they've already figured it out as a remnant of an Emperor-level array, otherwise it wouldn't be so powerful.

With the Ji family's formation expert stepping in, the other major powers were completely reassured.

This time, a total of 50 powerful figures were mobilized. Such a large number of experts is equivalent to the entire wealth of a top-tier sect.

A major sect like the Tai Xuan Sect only has a few dozen powerful figures within it. In other words, this assassin team is capable of wiping out the entire Tai Xuan Sect!

The assassin squad entered the Immortal Abode Small World in a grand procession, no longer bothering to pretend, and directly overwhelmed them.

However, when they arrived at the small valley where Zhang Taichu was, they found that no one was there anymore.

Even the killing formation set up by the Black Emperor has been withdrawn, and he has completely abandoned this place.

"Hmph, trying to run? Do you think you can? We have people at every entrance to this small world. They'll be discovered the moment they show their faces!"

"But I heard that Zhang Taichu and Ye Fan both possess a world-changing technique, what if—"

"Elder Li, don't worry. Our Yin-Yang Sect has a secret method to sense the location of the Yin-Yang Mirror. Unless Zhang Taichu abandons the Yin-Yang Mirror, we can find him even if he runs to the ends of the earth!"

The Yin-Yang Mirror is, after all, the most treasured artifact of the Yin-Yang Sect, and since Zhang Taichu has not yet fully mastered it, this flaw cannot be patched up.

Unless, as this Yin-Yang Sect elder said, Zhang Taichu deliberately threw away the Yin-Yang Mirror, there was no way to avoid it.

Following their senses, the assassin team continued their pursuit, only to encounter more and more dangers along the way.

One after another, dragons transformed, and ancient beast kings at the first level of immortality kept appearing to block the way, and there were even powerful beings at the second level of immortality.

Several major battles broke out between the two sides. Although all the ancient beast kings were killed, they also suffered casualties.

Of the 50 powerful beings, four died, leaving only 46.

The fact that they had already lost members before even meeting Zhang Taichu made everyone's expressions turn serious.

"Elder Wang, are your perceptions correct? Have Zhang Taichu and the others really gone this far?"

"There's no mistake, the Yin-Yang Mirror is deeper inside. I think Zhang Taichu is planning to use the Ancient Beast King to weaken our combat power."

"Hmph, this is just a desperate struggle. With so many of us, do you think we're afraid of these ancient beast kings? Keep chasing!"

The sheer number of people gave them confidence, but they underestimated the ancient beast kings in the Immortal Abode's small world.

Back when Zhang Taichu brought in the Peacock King and other demon clan leaders, if it weren't for the invincible power of the Azure Emperor's weapon, they probably would have lost many men.

It should be noted that the Peacock King, the Crimson Dragon Taoist, and others are all top-tier combatants at the sixth and seventh level of forbidden realms, truly supreme experts.

Unlike the powerful figures in the Holy Land who were built up over time and resources, even they barely survived when facing the Ancient Beast King and ultimately had to rely on Imperial Weapons to break the deadlock.

This assassin squad is being far too naive, thinking they can overwhelm everyone with sheer numbers.

Sure enough, in the following two weeks, they went through more than ten major battles and lost ten more men, leaving only 36 powerful figures.

The number of casualties was far greater than they had imagined, but now they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.

Otherwise, retreating like this, without even seeing Zhang Taichu, and losing a third of our troops, would be too shameful to talk about!

At the same time, they were also wondering how Zhang Taichu and his group, with their strength, managed to enter the depths of the small world.

If even they suffered such heavy casualties, could Zhang Taichu and his men have been completely wiped out?

Zhang Taichu and his group not only escaped total annihilation, but also suffered no casualties. They safely arrived deep within the Immortal Burial Ground and entered the realm within a realm where the Undying Emperor's human skin was located.

"Phew—we really owe a lot to the Primordial Space Secret Technique this time. Otherwise, if we really fought those ancient beast kings, we wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth."

Li Heishui looked shaken. Although the Peacock King and the others had killed several ancient beast kings, there were many beast kings in the small world.

It's far more than what appeared in the original work. After all, this was once the path to immortality. Not only is the space vast, but there are also many realms within realms and ruins, each of which may harbor a beast king.

Moreover, the Beast King's territory has always been a one-size-fits-all system; when an old Beast King dies, a new one will take its place.

Moreover, the closer you get to the Immortal Burial Ground, the more numerous and denser the Ancient Beast Kings become.

Without the Peacock King and the Imperial Weapon, Zhang Taichu theoretically shouldn't have been able to enter. However, he had been studying the Void Chessboard and made further progress in the Great Dao of Space, combining it with the power of the Void Talisman.

They led everyone into the Immortal Burial Ground without any major incidents, arriving at the inner realm of the Immortal Burial Ground.

"Let's have a good run-in with those pursuers here."
