Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Trap
Apart from the Flood Dragon’s Golden Core, Li Changye also severed the dragon horn, dragon teeth, dragon tendon, and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
“Once we return to Mount Shu, we’ll distribute these treasures.”
“Agreed.”
Everyone was quite satisfied with the outcome.
“Let’s rest briefly and then continue on our way.”
The group from Mount Shu, after a grand battle with a second-layer Void Refinement Realm Flood Dragon, had expended a large amount of True Qi and desperately needed to rest.
Lu Changsheng swallowed a Heavenly Spirit Pill to recover his True Qi. Afterward, Lu Changsheng began refining the demon power from the three- thousand-year-old Flood Dragon’s Golden Core, turning it into his own True Qi.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level made even further advancements.
Lu Changsheng’s special physique was that of an Innate Taoist Body, not the Martial King Divine Physique, so he couldn’t just swallow the three-thousand- year-old Flood Dragon’s Golden Core whole, or his body would surely explode and he would die.
Lu Changsheng could only slowly refine the Flood Dragon’s Golden Core’s demon power on the outside before absorbing it into his body.
Lu Changsheng’s Qi Sea continued to expand, with his inner microcosm growing by a fraction.
Refining the demon power from the Flood Dragon’s Golden Core, Lu Changsheng’s True Qi gained a trace of lightning power.
Fully refining the demon power of the three-thousand-year-old Flood Dragon’s Golden Core would take another three days.
Once the Flood Dragon’s Golden Core was refined, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation could smoothly progress, stepping into the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, with his True Qi also carrying the lightning of the Flood Dragon.
After resting, the group from Mount Shu continued on their journey.
Two days of Sword Flight later, at the end of the Vast Ancient Forest, a cliff appeared. In the middle of the Immortal Ruins was a basin stretching thousands of miles, and in the center of the basin stood an ancient tree reaching ten thousand feet high, which the group from Mount Shu could see even from the edge of the cliff.
“We’vefound it!”
Li Changye and the other Mount Shu elders rejoiced, almost certain that the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s dwelling was inside the ancient tree!
“Li Changye?”
Apart from Mount Shu, dozens of streaks of light approached, arriving at the edge of the basin almost simultaneously with Mount Shu’s group.
Lu Changsheng looked towards these newcomers; they were Ye Wen and other elders from the Martial Alliance.
“It seems that Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance have the best luck, having found the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s dwelling ahead of time.”
“The four major Demon Sects might also be nearby. How about we join forces? As for the treasures or legacy, that will be up to fate ”
“Agreed!”
Li Changye and Ye Wen quickly struck a deal to jointly explore the ancient tree in the middle of the basin.
Lu Changsheng glanced over the group from the Martial Alliance. The Martial Alliance’s strength was not to be underestimated; they also had two cultivators at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm.
Together, Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance had four elders at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, and even more at the eighth level.
“What a breathtaking ancient tree-taller than the mountains and standing for a million years without falling.”
Lin Qingzhi looked up at the ancient tree piercing the clouds and couldn’t help but marvel.
The teams from Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance flew swiftly toward the ancient tree.
As they drew closer, the ancient tree seemed as immense as a mountain.
Yet, it was indeed a tree.
“Chop!”
Lu Changsheng unleashed the True Martial Sword, striking the ancient tree.
Clang!
The True Martial Sword sounded like it had struck against the iron of the Nine Heavens with a grating clash, leaving only a fine mark on the ancient tree.
Compared to the size of the ancient tree, which was like a mountain, these scratches were negligible.
“This ancient tree is truly astonishing…”
Lu Changsheng was secretly amazed.
The group circled around the ancient tree but couldn’t find the entrance to the cave dwelling.
Could it be that the cave dwelling is up above?”
Li Changye, Lu Changsheng, Murong Shi, Ye Wen, and the others unanimously looked up at the towering ancient tree, amidst which clouds and mist swirled, with its enormous canopy obscuring the sun and sky.
“Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking.”
Lu Changsheng sent a strand of spiritual energy upwards along the tree trunk, trying to delve into the mystery.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng’s complexion changed, “Not good, this is a trap!”
The group looked at Lu Changsheng. Could it be that Lu Changsheng had discovered something?
“Li Changye, you’ve been tricked. Last time, in the battle to break the Daoist Temple, you schemed against us. This time, you’re destined to die.”
A sinister figure descended from above the ancient tree, a delicate man with a cold face, carrying a bone sword on his back, hands clasped behind him, coldly watching Li Changye and his companions.
Lu Changsheng had seen this person during the battle at the broken Daoist Temple a few years ago.
Zhao Wuyan’s expression was solemn, “The son of the Reincarnation Hall’s Sect Leader, Wandaoyi, a peerless genius just like our Senior Brother. That means…”
Above the ancient tree, the elders of the four Demon Sects descended, standing in four comers, each of them exuding a strong presence, totaling over a hundred peopie-they had laid a net of heaven and earth!
“Reincarnation Hall, Joyous Union Sect, Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, Summoning Demon Palace-all four Demon Sects have gathered. By laying in ambush here, could it be they were specifically targeting our six major sects?” Murong Shi looked around at the Demon Sect elders, with the elders of the four Demon Sects Dao Palace Realm arriving together, they had set up a net of heaven and earth with the aim squarely at the six major sects.
Wandaoyi said coldly, “Correct. Our Reincarnation Hall discovered this Immortal Ruins long ago and purposely let the Immortal Ruins emerge, allowing the news to spread. The six major sects indeed sent you in to explore. The six Sect Leaders are isolated by the world’s power of the Immortal Ruins and cannot enter. You cannot escape this calamity. If the younger generation of the six major sects are completely wiped out, without a foundation, you will eventually be eradicated by us.”
“What?! This is a trap set by the four major Demon Sects?!”
Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance were greatly startled.
The four major Demon Sects were actually willing to use the Immortal Ruins as bait to lead the younger generation of elders from the six major sects into a trap!
Li Changye confronted Wandaoyi, “Do you four major Demon Sects really have the confidence that you can wipe us out completely? We have six teams, while you only have four teams.”
Li Changye deliberately stalled for time, secretly using the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman bestowed by Yu Xuanji to seek reinforcements from the teams of the Immeasurable Temple, Hidden Dragon Temple, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, and Refinement Sect.
Although Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance were not short of peerless geniuses, two sects of Dao Palace Realm elders facing the onslaught of the four major Demon Sects would find it hard to ward off numerous foes.
Wandaoyi’s tone was still icy, “Since we have laid a net of heaven and earth, would we act without a foolproof plan?”
“Hehe, this elder from Mount Shu is so handsome. How about practicing the supreme Joyous Union Great Way with sister and ascending to bliss early? The six major sects are but a bunch of fools; they don’t understand the wonderful pleasures of the human world- ”
The team leader from the Joyous Union Sect was a beautiful woman in a light yellow dress, with charmingly moist eyes and a flexible figure, immensely flirtatious, causing hearts to flutter and minds to sway.
Quite a few less experienced elders from Mount Shu were more or less affected in their hearts and minds.
Her target was Lu Changsheng from the group of people from Mount Shu.
Wandaoyi said indifferently, “Liu Yun’er, this person’s cultivation is unknown.
He has killed our Reincarnation Hall’s Destruction Sword, Jue Jian, Evil Sword, and others. You better not screw this up.”
“Could it be that Mr. Wan is jealous?”
“I’m just reminding you.”
Wandaoyi’s biggest rival was Li Changye, but for some reason, Lu Changsheng gave him an unpredictable feeling.
This was an unstable factor.
Lu Changsheng’s gaze settled on Liu Yun’er. Despite her devastating beauty appearance, her cultivation was extremely high.
“Liu Yun’er, the most outstanding younger generation elder of the Joyous Union Sect, is said to have a ninth-level Dao Palace Realm cultivation. Now we re in trouble. Luckily, I have an Immortal Artifact as my trump card.”
