Chapter 1159: Uprisings of War Everywhere

“What…” Liu Ming became puzzled. In the memory of Celestial State Hellish-Insect, he didn’t find many clues about this thing.

The stone door that entered this place was blasted open by the Celestial State Hellish-Insect, but it only found the teleportation array inside, and nothing else.

“Forget it, let’s study it slowly in the future.” Liu Ming studied the array patterns on the stone slab, but unfortunately, with his knowledge on arrays, he had no clue at all.

With a wave of his hand, he put the green slab into the Sumeru Ring.

He then went around the stone chamber again. After getting nothing, he didn’t stay here any longer and returned.

Not long after, Liu Ming returned to the mineral vein.

At this time, the battle to eliminate the Hellish-Insect was over. Except for a few Hellish-Insects, that fled in the chaos, the rest of the Hellish-Insects had been wiped out by Taiqing Sect disciples led by Kun Yu.

The Ye Family’s people were cleaning the battlefield under the command of Ye Family Master. Among them, the corpses of low rank Hellish-Insects were also of certain value. Although the Taiqing Sect’s people despised them, they were still of some use to the Ye Family.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, you are back!”

“Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu.”

“Mr. Liu.”

As soon as Liu Ming came back, everyone of the Taiqing Sect and Ye Family Master rushed out to meet him.

“I was delayed for a while because of a small matter, please forgive me. It seems that the Hellish-Insects occupying this area have been wiped out.” Liu Ming glanced around and cupped his fist.

“About 300 ran away, but they can no longer pose a threat. You don’t need to worry too much.” Kun Yu said with a smile.

“That’s the best. By the way, I just performed soul-searching mystic art on that Celestial State Hellish-Insect. I learned that these Hellish-Insects came from a place called Ghost Cry Canyon, and these were all the Hellish-Insects. There should be no hidden Hellish-Insect.” After Liu Ming cupped his fist to Kun Yu, he changed the topic and said the news he got from the memory of the Celestial State Hellish-Insect.

“I also searched the souls of several other Hellish-Insects here, and the information I got is roughly the same. Our mission has been successfully completed.” Kun Yu nodded.

As soon as Kun Yu said this, everyone in Taiqing Sect showed a gleam of joy on their faces.

The mission was completed, which meant that they would get the contribution points and sect reward.

Ye Family Master was also overjoyed. In this way, at least in the next period of time, Mountain Qingsang should not be disturbed by Hellish-Insect again.

As long as there was breathing time, with their family background and connections, they could calmly deploy a powerful defensive array. At that time, even if there was another Hellish-Insect attack, it would be enough to persist until the rescue arrives.

Next, Although Ye Family Master tried his best to invite Taiqing Sect and others to stay in the Ye Familly Castle for a night to show the friendship of a landlord, Liu Ming and others still didn’t stay long and returned in a hurry.

A few days later, Liu Ming and others returned to the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range again.

After hearing that Liu Ming had killed a Celestial Hellish-Insect Clan, even though it was only a Hellish-Insect at the early stage of the Celestial State, Immortal Tian Ge also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Together with Liu Ming, everyone naturally received a large number of contribution points. This trip was really worthwhile for Liu Ming who had earned the most contribution points and rewards.

After parting from the others, Liu Ming walked with Jia Lan and talked for a while. After sending her back to Piaomiao Peak, he came to the Scriptures Pavilion.

Speaking of which, after becoming an esoteric disciple, he could already enter the Futu Palace to consult some codexes that only esoteric disciples could read. As for browsing codexes in the Scriptures Pavilion, it was completely free. As long as he paid certain contribution points, he could also copy the codexes here.

Liu Ming spent some contribution points and copied a batch of codexes about the teleportation array and the array technique, then he returned to the Futu Palace’scave house.

The purpose was of course to study the mysterious stone slab from Jade Mountain Peak.

Because he vaguely felt that this thing should not be as simple as an ordinary teleportation array.

After studying behind closed doors for several days, Liu Ming still knew very little about the array on the stone slab. No matter how he cast spells to activate it, the array showed no sign of activating.

On the contrary, the spirit gathering stones around the stone slab did not lose their ability to absorb the spirit around, but the strange thing was that the spirit absorbed by the spirit gathering stones seemed to be swallowed by a bottomless pit and could not be stored at all.

However, the research of the past few days was not in vain. Liu Ming found out that the green stone slab was not an ordinary thing. It was an ancient spiritual material called Azure Emerald, which was an excellent material for making disk arrays. It should have been extinct in the Middle Sky Continent long ago.

A few days later, Liu Ming received another summons from Immortal Tian Ge. At the same time, the news of Liu Ming beheading the Celestial State Hellish-Insect had spread throughout Taiqing Sect.

From the Mystic Comprehending State grand elder to the outer disciple who had just joined, almost everyone knew “Liu Ming”.

…

More than 2 months later, over the Pegasus Grassland located at the edge of the middle of the Middle Sky Continent, there was a great fluctuation in the air. The entire space was filled with screams and killing sounds.

More than 20 Taiqing Sect disciples at the Crystallization Period and Pseudo Pellet State formed an array to resist the countless Hellish-Insect army.

In mid-air, 5 Real Pellet State cultivators were fighting fiercely with 8 Real Pellet State Hellish-Insects, and one of them was Liu Ming.

He controlled the Bitter Wheel Sword to transfigure waves of crescent-shaped sword lights to hold off 2 Real Pellet State later stage Hellish-Insects and a Real Pellet State intermediate stage Hellish-Insect.

Thick lightning arcs emerged from the sword lights transfigured by the Bitter Wheel Sword. He seemed at ease dealing with 3 Hellish-Insects at the same time.

Although the 3 Hellish-Insects had rough carapaces and thick flesh, under Liu Ming’s incomparably exquisite sword controlling mystic arts and the lightning arc enchantment, they didn’t have a chance to fight back at all.

Not long after, Liu Ming caught an opportunity and activated the Dragon Tiger Hell Prison, blasting the Real Pellet State intermediate stage Hellish-Insect into a meat paste.

With Liu Ming, the esoteric disciple who could kill the Celestial State, the rest of the Taiqing Sect disciples were naturally in high spirits. The Hellish-Insect army was losing advantage gradually.

…

A year later, over an unnamed sea area in the southwest of the Middle Sky Continent, adjacent to the South Sea Region, hundreds of human cultivators and countless Hellish-Insects fought fiercely. The noise of a huge spiritual power blast resounded throughout the world. The sea water below also seemed to be boiling, splashing countless waves.

Hundreds of human cultivators were roughly divided into green and white costumes. They were the coalition forces of the Taiqing Sect and Haoran Academy. There were 2 Celestial State cultivators and 30 Real Pellet State cultivators. Liu Ming was also among them.

The fierce battle went on for several hours before the sea was calm again.

…

Time flew, and 6 years had passed in the blink of an eye.

On the Middle Sky Continent, the battle between the Hellish-Insect Clan and the humans intensified.

The cultivators of the human race, under the lead of the 4 ancient sects, had gradually mastered certain methods to resist the Hellish-Insect Clan after experiencing the initial chaos.

Small and medium forces were either joined together to form a small alliance to fight against them, or they were attached to the 4 ancient sects such as Taiqing Sect.

Therefore, although the entire continent was constantly fighting during this period, it was rare for the human race forces to be wiped out.

In addition, the Middle Sky Continent Alliance, led by various ancient sects, also sent many cultivators to carry array equipment to the large cities where all mortals gathered and set up large protective arrays and short-distance teleportation arrays to resist the Hellish-Insect Clan invasion.

Mortals in small and medium cities started to move into large cities that were protected by the sect, and they gradually settled down.

Facing the organized resistance of the human cultivators. The Hellish-Insect Clan army also gave up the original method of invading multiple places. A large number of Hellish-Insects grouped up and occupied several areas as their bases, seeming to plan for a protracted war against the humans.

The two sides had engaged in several tentative battles, which caused casualties on both sides.

A year ago, the 4 ancient sects gathered tens of thousands of elite disciples and attacked an area occupied by the Hellish-Insect Clan. They successfully eliminated the Hellish-Insect Clan in this area and sealed several space tunnels there.

During this period, several Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses of the 4 ancient sects joined forces to kill an avatar of the Mother Hellish-Insect again. As soon as the news came out, the morale of the human cultivators was greatly boosted.

After the Hellish-Insect Clan suffered such a big loss, they stayed under the radar for a period of time. After that, they started to harass multiple forces in different locations. When the Alliance’s forces were split up, the Hellish-Insect Clan launched a swift attack to the Demon Mystic Sect.

Although the other 3 ancient sects went to rescue and disintegrated the invasion after getting the news, the Demon Mystic Sect still suffered heavy casualties. A grand elder at the Mystic Comprehending State was killed under the besiege of several Mother Hellish-Insect’s avatars. Such loss would take them thousands of years to recover.

And Liu Ming, the current famous esoteric disciple of the Taiqing Sect, had been active in various battlefields. In frequent battles with the high rank Hellish-Insects, his mind, perception, body, or spiritual power had made progress in all aspects. He had faintly grasped the opportunity to break through to the Real Pellet State later stage.

…

Inside the Mountain Futu’s cave house, in a dimly lit secret room, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on a stone bed with a faint black light around his body.

On the floor of the secret room, a rather complicated array was engraved on it. A black jade bottle was placed in front of him. Waves of dignified black water vapor emerged from the bottle, condensing into the shapes of various birds and beasts and slowly permeating into his body.

In the jade bottle was the hell river heavy water he brought from the deepest underworld. Under the enchantment of the array, the black water vapor made the secret room bitterly cold like an ice cave. However, in such an environment, it seemed to have no effect on Liu Ming.

Suddenly, Liu Ming frowned, opened his eyes suddenly and waved his hands. The black water vapor around his body instantly surged into his body.

Since realizing the opportunity to breakthrough, he requested to temporarily leave the front line and concentrated on retreating in the cave house.

After more than a month of retreat, Liu Ming faintly felt an inexplicable restlessness in the sea of ??consciousness as if something was about to come out at any time.

With a soft breath, he put away the jade bottle on the ground, stood up, and walked out of the cave house.
