Outside Immortal Repository City, Yang Junshan looked at the floating mountain in the middle of the clouds.
The size of this floating mountain was obviously far from a floating island like the Dragon Island, but it was also much larger and much heavier than the galactic longboat that Yang Junshan controlled.
Thus, he did not dare to say anything else. Since the Immortal Repository was indeed located within the floating peak, then the Immortal Repository definitely had an Earth Elemental Treasure Floating Stone, and the Floating Stone was at least bigger than the galactic longboat’s!
This was because only a floating stone could cause such a large floating mountain to float in midair.
It was said that this Immortal Treasury was very open, and they might not be willing to share it with other people, but the fact that they were unable to open it forced them to let go of their protection of the floating peak, as if they welcomed other cultivators who were trying to open it. However, the people who made this gesture definitely did not include people like Yang Junshan who stole from another region.
However, when the news of the Immortal Repository being opened by the alien stowaways spread throughout the other floating continents, the people of the Immortal Repository City also understood. If they really wanted to scare the alien stowaways away so much that they didn’t dare to go near the floating mountain, then the Immortal Repository shouldn’t be opened.
Therefore, they could only maintain this external and internal tension, giving the aliens a chance to approach the floating peak. They had no choice but to take the risk.
With the source imprint’s concealment, he was not worried that someone would be able to see through his identity as an alien cultivator. In fact, there were a lot of cultivators gathering in the Immortal Treasury City at this time, so with the mixture of fish and dragons, it was impossible for the Immortal Treasury City to differentiate between each other even if they wanted to. They could only secretly lay down various methods around the floating mountain, waiting for the aliens to steal the bait.
Actually, the current Yang Junshan was also feeling very helpless. Even though he had guessed that Immortal Hidden City must have set up a method to deal with him, he could not think of a way to open it before the others could react and be the first to enter the Immortal Pond.
The Yellow Earth Immortal Canon was different from the Black Wind Immortal Canon. Before this, the Black Wind Immortal Canon had never been discovered by anyone, and the end of the Weeping Ghost Gorge was only one of the places where the cultivators of the Black Wind Continent suspected that it was most likely to be hidden. Yang Junshan could naturally approach the Immortal Canon unbeknownst to gods and devils, and even if there was someone protecting him, his power would be scattered.
With so many people guarding the area, honestly speaking, he would not be able to pour water into the cave even if the needles were stuck inside. There was even less of a need to talk about forcefully attacking it, Yang Junshan was not stupid enough to go against so many local cultivators by himself.
Yang Junshan had hesitated for two days inside the Immortal Repository City, and adding the five days he had spent travelling on foot, it had already taken him seven days.
One had to know that Yang Junshan only had a total of one month’s time limit for his stay in the Nine Heavens. Previously, opening the Black Wind Immortal Repository had been rather smooth, but it had also taken him five or six days.
If he could not think of a suitable method in this half a month’s time, he could only choose to give up this chance to withdraw from the Nine Heavens. It was impossible for him to throw his life away just because he was greedy for the heavenly materials in the Immortal Repository.
On this day, when Yang Junshan was at a loss, he suddenly felt a disturbance in the earth elemental energy below the ground.
Earthquake?
Yang Junshan was startled for a moment, and then he sensed that the ground was shaking slightly.
It was just that the distance to the epicenter calculated from the magnitude of the tremor did not match the distance calculated from the elemental energy ripples he felt from the ground earlier. The former seemed to be slightly further away from the Immortal Treasury City!
Just as Yang Junshan was wondering, an extremely familiar wave of Essence Qi appeared in his perception.
So it was a formation!
Yang Junshan suddenly realised, the majestic Immortal Hidden City was also considered a top power in the Yellowsoil Continent. Although the Immortal Hidden City was open to everyone, there was no way they did not have a defensive array.
Right now, there was an earthquake that spread to this area of the Yellow Soil Continent, thus, the Great Protection Formation of the Immortal Hidden City was activated. The originally stronger shock wave caused by the formation becoming weaker naturally made Yang Junshan make a wrong judgement.
Yang Junshan walked out of the temporary inn he was staying and surveyed the direction of the origin of the shock. At this moment, there were many cultivators like Yang Junshan who either stopped or walked out from their residences, looking in the direction the shock was coming from.
However, the next scene gave the originally helpless Yang Junshan an idea!
As the earthquake caused the Great Guardian Formation of the Immortal Repository City to be activated, countless spirit lights naturally flickered in the air. As a master level array master of a large sect, Yang Junshan instinctively followed the flashing spirit lights and began to explore the workings of the great formation.
Then, he saw the floating mountain peak that was initially floating above Immortal Repository City suddenly shake. Even though the movement was very small, and if he did not look carefully, he would not be able to notice it, but Yang Junshan was sure that the floating mountain peak had swayed slightly.
At the same time, Yang Junshan was certain that the reason the floating mountain was shaking was because the protection array of the Immortal Repository City was affected by the earthquake from afar. It was because Yang Junshan was investigating the workings of the protection array that he realized this.
At the same time, Yang Junshan was also shocked to realize that other than protecting the entire Immortal Repository City, the greatest use of the Great Guardian Formation was actually restricting the floating peaks!
After realising this, Yang Junshan quickly understood the reason. When the tallest peak of the Yellowsoil Continent which had been hidden away was dug out, and the peak was chopped off, only the floating peak at the side of the mountain was left floating in the air.
The reason why they gathered here and formed cities was because of the floating peaks above their heads. If they were to allow the floating peaks to drift around the Yellow Soil Continent, then naturally, there would be no need for the city to exist.
Furthermore, the cultivators of the Immortal Repository City were guarding the Immortal Repository and had long treated the floating mountain as their own. How could they be willing to let this treasure that had yet to open leave?
Thus, while the cultivators of the Immortal Treasury City were building a defensive array, they were also fixing the floating mountain in the sky above the Immortal Treasury City as their primary task.
The earthquake in the distance had stopped long ago, and the cultivators who were originally standing and watching the scene in the Immortal Treasury City had all returned to normal. However, Yang Junshan was able to suppress the joy in his heart, and a few thoughts flashed through his mind.
After that, Yang Junshan spent three to five days walking around the Immortal Treasury City, stayed in the tavern for another five days, and then walked inside the city for another three to three days. Only until he was only three or four days away from leaving his Nine Heavens did he finally come out of the tavern, raised his head and looked at the floating peaks above the city.
It was a moonless, windy night. The sky was so dark that one could not see one’s own fingers in front of him.
Suddenly, a large shadow streaked across the sky. The few starlight spots that were already sparse were covered for a moment before being revealed again.
Suddenly, a low buzzing sound accompanied by a crackling sound resounded throughout the entire Immortal Treasury City. Countless lights sparkled like sparks around the city, and if there was a formation master who was looking down from high up in the sky, he would discover that every single light in the city was distributed to the key points of the entire protective array.
At the same time, the spirit light flickering throughout the city illuminated more than half of the Immortal Hidden City. This caused quite a few cultivators to be alarmed as they witnessed the scene that was about to occur.
A mountain that was five to six hundred feet tall flew through the night sky. It actually broke through the great protective array of the Immortal Repository City along the way. As everyone was caught off guard, it violently crashed into the floating peak above the Immortal Repository City.
“Hualalala ~ ~ ~”
The floating peak was indeed worthy of being called the carrier of the Immortal Repository. The entire mountain was abnormally hard, and even if a mountain were to crash into it, it would not suffer any damage. On the contrary, it would shatter the flying mountain, causing countless sand and crushed to fall from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Immortal Hidden City was thrown into chaos!
Countless beams of light flew out from the city and headed towards the floating peak. At the same time, several streaks of light also rose from all over the floating peak, darting around the area like headless flies. It seemed like they were preparing for something.
The impact of the mountain peak that had suddenly flew over had really stupefied many Great Divine Cultivator in the Immortal Hidden City.
This was because they never would have imagined that the defensive formation of the Immortal Repository City would be so weak. Just a single mountain’s impact had caused it to crumble like bean curd.
However, soon after, they discovered something that made them even more flustered. After the great protective formation completely collapsed, the floating mountain lost its restraints. After the impact of the previous mountain, not only did the floating mountain deviate from its original position, it was even continuing to float away from the Immortal Treasury City.
“Quick, Yuqing Zi, bring your men to the Immortal Treasury City and check on the reason for the collapse of the defensive formation. Gather the formation masters there and it’s best for the formation to be restored as soon as possible. Dao Friend Golden Tower, bring your men to search along the direction of the mountain peak that just flew over. Let’s see who was so daring as to actually attack the floating immortal treasury! The remaining people will follow this old man and guard the floating immortal treasury, at the same time, doing their best to prevent it from drifting! ”
Quite a few cultivators responded in unison. It could be seen that the person who spoke out was clearly of extraordinary status, and could possibly be one of the Immortal Monarch Great Divine Cultivator of the Heavenly Court who was guarding the Immortal Treasury and waiting for Yang Junshan to take the bait.
However, from Yang Junshan’s point of view, the response of the Great Divine Cultivator, who was suspected to be like an immortal, was exactly what he wanted.
The cultivators that were originally gathered around the floating mountain were immediately separated into three groups. One group once again entered the various parts of the Immortal Repository City and began to inspect the reason why the defensive formation had failed and began to restore it.
The second group headed in the direction of the previous summit.
As for the cultivators remaining to guard the floating immortal treasury, they were instantly reduced by two-thirds.
After the other two groups of cultivators had dispersed far away, suddenly, from a different direction from the Flying Peak, a huge pillar formed from spiritual light shot up into the sky. Then, this huge pillar suddenly fell down towards the floating immortal palace.
