The fact that Yun Yang, who had turned into a soft breeze, had managed to enter the Cangwu Union without a hitch, left him astonished and in disbelief!
It was simply too easy - there was no reaction at all when he passed through Cangwu Union’s mountain guarding formation.
Yun Yang had even thought that there had to be something else behind their guarding formation; perhaps it was preparing to unleash some form of an extreme backlash. This caused him to hesitate for a moment, he readied himself for the impending counterattack.
In spite of all his caution, there was nothing, even after a long while!
The sneak-in was too easy! It was nothing like an invasion against the guarding formation of a sect that had the Celestial Luck Banner.
As Yun Yang slipped into the inner part of the Cangwu Union, he instinctively realized something - the guarding mountain formation of the Cangwu Union most probably did not have the ability to defend against deific consciousness; otherwise, how could it have no reaction against his trespass?
His various manifestations were mystical, but the core of it was tied to the spiritual essence of one’s being. No matter how traceless and intangible he was, it was impossible to avoid slight, unusual twitches; even if the deific sense tracking mechanism would not be able to thoroughly seek him out, there would be hints and clues as to his passing. Oddly enough, Cangwu Union’s mountain guarding formation had no reaction to these. The only explanation was that the formation was not able to defend against any form of deific consciousness!
However, was that not an absurd revelation?
Yun Yang was bewildered. As an established sect that had the Celestial Luck Banner, how could they not have this least bit of protection?
Nonetheless, this seemed to be the truth of the matter. In fact, while it was not unique to the world to have formations like that in the Residence of Nine Supremes that could deter the divine senses, it was rare and hard to come by!
As for Yun Yang’s manifestations, it was a special arcane magic that was unheard of in this realm, exceeding the cultivators’ knowledge.
Perhaps his skills could not avoid the restraint of spatial arcane magic like ‘cages’, but it was undeniable that his manifestations were absolute mystical methods!
Yun Yang drifted to the Tower of Martial Keeping smoothly, in no apparent hurry, but that was where his good luck ended. The reason was simple. The divine senses of powerful cultivators were all around Cangwu Union’s Tower of Martial Keeping, wrapping the place securely.
From afar, the tower’s entrance was open. The four-storied tower was filled with rows upon rows of books. The highest shelf contained strips of jade slips, laid openly where one could reach for the with an outstretched arm.
In spite of this, the reality was far from what was being observed.
The entire Tower of Martial Keeping was like a deific consciousness space where there was no loopholes or weaknesses to exploit.
Yun Yang was perceptive, knowing that his manifestations would not be as smooth-sailing as earlier, thus, he stopped his trek with a frown, trying to figure out a countermeasure.
He was confident that he could overcome the obstacle using Emmie and his Endless Divine Art if the Tower of Martial Keeping contained only the deific sense force. However, there was an unusual gigantic outline above this structure.
The peculiar outline was intangible and hardly visible, but its presence was undeniable. It was a flag, the Celestial Luck Banner!
The Cangwu Union had placed their black Celestial Luck Banner right inside the Tower of Martial Keeping, not knowing that it was actually useful in another way, creating this special form of defense.
Seeing that Cangwu Union’s Celestial Luck Banner was also here, Yun Yang dared not be reckless as he calmed himself down to check the defenses the tower was equipped with.
There were four elders guarding the entrance of the Tower of Martial Keeping, two inside and two outside.
‘All of them are Saint level experts - this is quite tricky,’ Yun Yang mused.
Facing this situation and under the premise that he could hardly use his manifestations, how could he complete his initial goal?
Hesitating for only a moment, Yun Yang immediately made up his mind. Transforming once more into a cloudy fog, he charged towards the Tower of Martial Keeping from the high altitude at his highest possible speed and swiftest agility.
Before he reached the building, the billowing gale was already curling the air, making intimidating waves. Underneath, warning bells began to ring.
Four shadows rose and shot up to stop him but they did not expect to discover that the invader was invisible to the eye and missed the crucial seconds required to halt him. Yun Yang, who sped like the whirring thunderbolt, crashed against the Tower of Martial Keeping’s defense layer - the simplest and the most direct force broke the mystical Qi barrier set within the tower!
The ease of invasion came as a surprise to Yun Yang. He was initially ready to invest more effort had the mystical Qi barrier been stronger, but realization struck him as he cracked the barrier that this mystical Qi barricade could only stop the enemy for the slightest length of time. It was more similar to the divine sense network and the image of the Celestial Luck Banner, its presence only serving as a warning illustration.
After all, the momentary pause would suffice for Cangwu members to sprint their way over. On the contrary, if the mystical Qi barrier were too powerful, the attacker would destroy it forcefully; a slight strayed force would destroy the arcane magic stored inside while breaking the barrier. Even if the invader was killed afterward, the loss suffered was too much to bear!
How could Cangwu Union’s members imagine that their setup to prevent thievery and to gain some time would turn out to be futile as someone would intrude the Tower of Martial Keeping in broad daylight?
The whirring current in the air had catapulted into the Tower of Martial Keeping!
Everything came as a surprise, an unexpected twist. The four men who sprung up could have caught Yun Yang as they were right in his tracks but they did not discern Yun Yang’s cloud manifestation, brushing past him.
When they finally came to realize it, Yun Yang had already shot into the building. The pop that indicated the mystical Qi barrier had broken said as much.
Swiftly, the Celestial Luck Banner that stood floating intangibly in the middle of the Tower of Martial Keeping twitched before it vanished entirely. Then, a white shadow popped out and presented itself in the tower with a mewl.
It was a small white kitten that was no bigger than two feet, looking frantic and lost, scampering within the tower. It was lightning-quick as well.
When the four experts barged into the tower in a panicked frenzy and took in the sight of the tiny creature, gasps of surprise left their lips. They were astounded.
Did this little fellow cause all the ruckus just now? Was that possible?
“Meow…”
Whitey Two swung its tail timidly as it laid itself on the ground, staring at the four men pitifully.
“Catch it!”
Whatever the case was, the strange kitten must be seized first!
Four of the experts went to work immediately but Whitey Two scurried away again, its dexterity unbelievable. Sprinting from left to right and up and down, the four Saint level cultivators found it a challenge to capture the kitten.
“Meow…” A drawn-out cry escaped its tiny mouth.
It seemed that the white kitten’s speed picked up even more as it rushed out from the four-man-siege’s gap, looking like a white silhouette. One of them felt a chilled body brush against his legs but the kittle was already hundreds of feet away, turning around and crying out.
“Meow… meow…”
It was as if the kitten was saying, “Don’t catch me, I didn’t mean to do it!”
