Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1205 – Crystals

Yang Junshan kept the inheritance jade slip into his own storage treasure, and then, he stored the two thousand-year old Thunder Vines that he had transformed into after the death of the Spiritual Demons King.

The Spiritual Demons Cultivators were all treasures, and the main body of this Spiritual Demons King wahousand year old Ancient Lightning Vine. It was enough to even be used to refine daoyin apparatus s, but the lightning whip this Spiritual Demons King used earlier was actually an extension of his main body.

However, after the fall of the other Deer Demon King, nothing remained. Yang Junshan took a look at it, and took off the fully preserved deer horn on the Demon King’s body.

After burning the three corpses to ashes, Yang Junshan thought about it for a moment before continuing on the path he had taken before to head towards the direction of the lake of liquid lightning that he had seen from afar.

At this time, the sky above the lightning lake had already returned to its original dense dark clouds. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed from the apocalyptic scene, and when he arrived near the lightning lake, Yang Junshan no longer felt the palpitations he had before transcending the tribulation.

However, looking at the lake of liquid thunder that was completely formed from the origin of lightning in front of him, Yang Junshan couldn’t help but sigh at the profoundness of this world.

However, Yang Junshan did not forget that the reason he came to the Thunder Lake was to verify his previous conjecture on the tunnel.

However, his soul consciousness wandered around the lake and didn’t detect any fluctuations in space at all.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Junshan took out the Pure Spirit Gourd that had absorbed a bit of the remaining Lightning Calamity Qi. Both of his hands formed a seal, and the Pure Spirit Gourd opened its mouth, releasing a stream of lightning liquid from the lake’s surface, which was then continuously swallowed by the bottle gourd.

Since the Pure Spirit Gourd was able to produce the Pure Spirit Fairies’ Qi, its quality was naturally extraordinary. As for Yang Junshan who had come to the lightning swamp this time, aside from transcending the tribulation, he also had another goal in mind. He never thought that he would actually encounter a lake that was completely formed from lightning essence.

When the clear spirit bottle was about to be filled to the brim with lightning liquid, the entire surface of the lightning liquid lake had sunk by more than a foot, which also allowed Yang Junshan to detect the abnormality within the lightning lake.

“So there really is a spatial tunnel. However, the tunnel is underneath the lightning lake, and after being covered by layers of lightning liquid, it is impossible to detect the existence of the tunnel space. However, to open the tunnel, one must first enter the lake of lightning liquid.” So there really is a spatial tunnel, but the tunnel is underneath the lightning lake, and after being covered by layers of lightning liquid.

Yang Junshan rubbed his chin, but then understood once again, “No wonder Daoist Miao Huang came all the way to me after being hunted down. Presumably, he had already discovered my traces long ago, hmm, if he was hiding at the bottom of the lake of lightning essence, I indeed wouldn’t have been able to discover him, but he might have discovered me instead.”

“I wonder where this spatial passageway will lead to!”

Yang Junshan muttered to himself as he casually swallowed a pellet used to recover the true essence in his body. He then stepped into the lightning lake, and following a series of splattering sounds of electric sparks, Yang Junshan’s expression did not change, as he sunk his entire body into the lake.

Compared to Daoist Miao Huang and the other Lei Xing faction cultivators, or with the help of some other treasures, Yang Junshan could rely on his own body to resist the majority of the lightning essence injuries. With the help of his own True Essence, Yang Junshan was able to move freely in the lake of lightning essence for a long period of time.

As he came in contact with the spatial tunnel that was hidden underneath the lightning lake, a ripple appeared on the surface of the lake. By the time the ripples had calmed down, Yang Junshan had already disappeared beneath the lake.

The lightning well in the middle of the secret land of the Three Purities Sect.

This secret place was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. The mess on the ground surrounding the lightning well and the charred corpses on the ground showed that a disaster had occurred here not long ago.

Suddenly, a muffled sound could be heard from the center of the thunder well. The sound was getting louder and louder, as if something was about to burst out of the well.

Fortunately, this secret location was empty, so no one noticed the changes.

Lightning bolts flashed around the platform, forming a lightning barrier around the platform. Then, a figure slowly rose up from the lightning barrier, before finally appearing on the thunder platform above the entrance of the lightning zone.

Yang Junshan looked at the surroundings of the lightning barrier and saw everything around him, especially the few charred corpses on the ground.

Yang Junshan took a glance at the lightning barrier that surrounded him. He tried to get out of the barrier of light, but immediately after, his heart palpitated and he instantly felt the threat of death!

Yang Junshan immediately understood that this was an alien region!

The spatial tunnel hidden within the lightning lake truly went directly to the Outer World. What enveloped his body was not only a lightning barrier, but also a spatial barrier that carried the Essence Will of heaven and earth. If Yang Junshan were to step outside the barrier of lightning at this time, he would instantly die under the supervision of the Haotian’s mirror.

Yang Junshan, who had understood this, immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately retracted his steps, and even seemed worried as he hurriedly took two steps back. When he looked at the screen of lightning around him, it was as if he was looking at the boundary between life and death.

But that really did make one feel that it was too mystical. Just a single lightning barrier made up two different worlds inside and out.

Merely by relying on this kind of spatial passageway that could not truly descend into the Outer Realm, Yang Junshan did not even know where he was in the Outer Realm, so what use did it have to the Violet Firmament Pavilion?

Thinking about that, Yang Junshan turned his gaze to the corpses on the ground that were charred by the lightning. Unless Violet Firmament Pavilion knew the exact location of the place and had some other method to control the vicinity of the thunder well, and this passage was merely a shortcut for the two sides to communicate with each other.

However, from the looks of it, even if the Violet Firmament Pavilion had another method of controlling the situation, after Daoist Miao Huang was sneakily attacked, it meant that the matter had left the control of the Violet Firmament Pavilion.

At the same time, Yang Junshan also understood why Daoist Miao Huang fought so hard against the alien cultivators for the sake of protecting the secret of the thunder well passage. He did not hesitate to kill Yang Junshan while being severely injured in order to keep his mouth shut.

Although a barbarian cultivator had escaped, and the barbarian cultivator had already entered the Circulatory World, it was impossible for him to return to the Outer Realm. Even if the secret of the Thunder Door Passage was leaked from the barbarian cultivator’s mouth, at least the Violet Firmament Pavilion would be able to avoid being implicated in this because of the differences between the two sides.

However, Yang Junshan was different. With his current reputation and status in the cultivation world, if he also stood out to prove that the secret of the Thunder Well Passage was kept secret by the Violet Firmament Pavilion, then under the pressure of the Immortal Palace, even the Violet Firmament Pavilion would feel that the matter was tricky.

Just as Yang Junshan was thinking about the benefits this lightning well would bring him, his divine sense suddenly sensed that someone was walking towards him.

Yang Junshan’s mind stirred, and his body immediately sank down, retracting back into the thunder well along with the barrier around him.

It was at this moment that the sound of footsteps came from far away and arrived near the mine. New chapters are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

“The three Great Divine Cultivator s still haven’t returned, could something have happened?”

An aged voice travelled to Yang Junshan who was hiding within the thunder well, and the apprehension in his tone was very obvious.

The worried voice continued to mutter to itself, “Three enemies against one, ambushing and killing without any warning, there shouldn’t be any accidents, but if there really is an accident, the Glory Sect will send people to interrogate them, and our Three Purities Sect will be destroyed immediately, our thousand year old sect will be destroyed.”

Yang Junshan quietly listened to the person outside the well mumbling, while analyzing the information that was useful to him from their words.

This so-called “Three Purities Sect” should be a subsidiary power of the Violet Firmament Pavilion that had developed abroad. He just did not know whether the Three Purities Sect originally had them, and was later relocated by the Violet Firmament Pavilion to guard this thunder well passage, or if it was the Violet Firmament Pavilion who created this sect. If it was the latter, didn’t that mean that the Violet Firmament Pavilion had at leashousand years of history in his possession of this thunder well passage?

Yang Junshan suppressed the shock in his heart, and the sound of something moving could be heard from outside the well. It seemed that the owner of the aged voice was cleaning up the mess on the ground as well as the corpses.

The voice continued, but there warace of anger in his voice: “Fellow junior brothers and juniors, please leave well. Although our sect is a vassal force of the Glory Sect, it has never treated us like human beings, in their eyes, we are just a group of ‘piggies’ that they can slaughter as they please, in addition to sealing our essence of cultivation essence into a crystal every three years, we also need to pay a large amount of cultivation resources, and the so-called ‘protection’ of our sect is merely to keep our sect firmly in their grasp and allow them to slaughter us.”

The old man seemed to want to vent all the anger in his heart, and also seemed to want to find sufficient reasons for his sect to betray the “Glory Sect.” Aesult, in this place that he thought was safe, he spoke endlessly, allowing Yang Junshan to understand the gist of it.

“Over the past thousand years, under the protection of the Glory Sect, the sect’s power has never grown, nor has it declined. Heh heh, it’s not like the sect has never produced geniuses, but every time a ‘genius’ appears in the sect, they would bring him away. It’retty name called ‘Cultivating in the Sacred Grounds’, but why is it that these ‘geniuses’ who enter the Sacred Grounds never appear again?”

“Glory Sect has promised several times that they will bestow us with the ‘Three Purities Purple Clouds’, but they have repeatedly rejected it for various reasons. This old man has been underestimating things for decades, and did not even hesitate to give up on the achievement of the life Dao Techniques and Divine Powers to advance to the Dao Realm, but the first reaction that the Sacred Sect Envoys detected was to kill me. Heh, who knows if this old man has long been prepared for it, this old man will not blame the Sacred Sect for being heartless to our sect. This is not going to hide Lei Jing’s secret sect. Besides the other three, I believe that there are many other Great Divine Cultivator who will be interested in the Sacred Sect!”

Daoist Duren had just finished tidying up the area around the lightning well and collecting the corpses of his fellow sect members that had died under Daoist Miahuang’s divine ability. However, he could faintly sense that there was something different in the surroundings.

His heart suddenly sank. Raising his head, he discovered that the lightning barrier that appeared only when the envoys from the Glory Sect arrived had appeared again. At the same time, an unfamiliar young cultivator had appeared.

“My apologies, it would be best to delay the discovery of the mine as much as possible!”
