Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 423 – Rust

At this time, the Light Blade Storm had been reduced by about one third, but there were evidently not many who had successfully cultivated the Divine Guardian Technique, and when Lu Jing saw that he could not hold on any longer, he shouted, “Let me try!”

Yang Junping held his hands together, and then pressed his hands down towards the ground beneath his feet. The ground first shook, and then a faint yellow light screen suddenly rose up from beneath everyone’s feet, the light screen slowly closed over their heads, protecting them all. It was his new spirit technique, Mountain Guarding technique.

In truth, Yang Junping had cultivated the spirit of breaking mountain much earlier than the Mountain Guarding ability, but he had never succeeded in learning this ability. On the contrary, after the Mountain Guarding Spirit Art was in his possession, he quickly mastered it.

Furthermore, Yang Junping had just stepped into the baleful qi realm, so he was unable to compare to Lu Jing, Yan Zhong and the others. Under the force of the Blade Storm, his Divine Guardian Technique was only able to last for a short while before it started to crumble.

But even so, the strength Yang Junping displayed was enough to cause others to have a whole new level of respect for him.

“Brother, it’s up to you!”

“Alright, let’s go all out!”

Yang Junshan’s tone was filled with confidence. Right after he finished speaking, a large green and gold seal rose into the air, instantly forming using the Mountain Guarding Spirit. No matter how many blades of light struck the light screen that was hung by the Mountain Monarch Seal, they were unable to ripple even a little.

Just then, Yan Qinxi suddenly shouted out, the Great White Gold Saber released a light tremble, a sharp ray of light shot out from the magical equipment, splitting into 10 different types of light beams, flying out in all directions.

This was the first time Yang Junshan saw her use a spirit technique other than the “Great White Golden Light Slash”.

Dozens of sharp blade lights slashed out. In an instant, they opened up dozens of tunnels within the dense storm of light blades. Hundreds of light blades were shattered.

And right after Yan Qinxi, Ning Bin also closely followed up with a move. The earth attributed spirit energy beneath his feet was channeled, and then, balls after balls of spirit energy condensed in the air, turning into flying stones that smashed down one after another like hailstones, causing the storm of light blades to clearly weaken.

Yang Junshan had seen Zhang Yueming unleash this technique before.

Just as he finished using his methods, he heard a roar from behind him, the Spirit Qi startled him, and he anxiously turned to look, only to see Wu Shuo’s eyes widening, his mouth opening up to releasoar, as though he wanted to devour the living.

It was not just Ning Bin, other than the cultivators of the Yang family, almost everyone else’s ears were aching because of Wu Shuo’s roar. Even the sacred art that he was using was almost shattered.

Black and red spirit energy rushed out from above Wu Shuo’s head before transforming intuge python, swimming around the area covered by Yang Junshan’s Mountain Defence Spell. When the blade of light flew onto the giant python’s body, either it was devoured by the giant python, or it directly entered the python’s body and disappeared.

Wu Shuo’s supernatural power did not seem to be as powerful as Yan Qinxi’s and Ning Bin’s, but in truth, the giant python had existed for much longer than’s and Ning Bin’s supernatural power, and its effect was far greater than the previous two.

Only now did everyone notice that Yang Junshan’s skill of guarding the mountain was still as strong as ever. Even after being ambushed by the blade storm foeriod of time, the light screen still did not weaken at all, and Yang Junshan himself was completely full of energy, not a single bit of his spirit energy had been depleted.

“Destroy all the light blades in one go! We’re afraid of a potential change!”

When Yang Junshan saw that everyone had reduced the speed of the Light Blade Storm by more than half, they all heaved a sigh of relief. They all thought that the winner of the round would generally slow down the speed of extermination to recover the spirit energy in their bodies, thus he reminded everyone.

At this time, Yang Junshan, as the guardian, was still helping everyone to resist the tornado of light blades. However, everyone seemed to be a little sluggish because they were going to pass through the most dangerous time, and hearing Yang Junshan’s reminder, they also felt a little ashamed, so they once again used their full strength. Within two hours of time, the last light blade was broken by Su Baozhang’s finger, causing everyone to heave a sigh of relief.

It was only at this time that Yang Junshan slowly retracted his ability, and when everyone saw that he was still relaxed, they could tell that his spirit energy was extremely strong, causing him to exclaim in surprise.

“Hurry up and leave. If you don’t leave now, the fourth light screen that we just opened will close again!”

Yang Junshan was the first to pass through the fourth barrier of light, followed by a group of people who were stumbling to keep up.

“Hey, brother, isn’t this the Rust Ore?”

However, after the building collapsed, many of the seals on the surface of the spirit box were broken and many of them were buried underground. Yang Junping picked uock from within a broken box, and weighed it in his hands as he asked.

Speaking of the Rust Stone, Yang Junshan was the first one to realize that the Yang Family had made a small fortune with it. After reporting this matter to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, they also obtained a lot of benefits.

The matter of the Rust Ore was already known to everyone in the cultivation world. However, at least in the cultivation world of Yuzhou, the greatest benefit of the Rust Stone was that the Heaven-Shaken Sect, who had the advantage, had obtained it first. It was already too late when the other sects received the news.

The main problem was that they took up too much space. Even if the eleven cultivators all had storage bag s with them, it was impossible for them to keep all the boxes, not to mention that they still had to continue their exploration in the ruins. There would still be other rewards.

If they could dig out all the spirit jade inside, it could still reduce the volume by at least three to four times. Furthermore, spirit jade waaw material for Jade Coins, it was an extremely important cultivation resource in itself.

Yang Junshan laughed, and said: “That’s fine, since we’ve used up a lot of energy previously to resist the backlash of the forbidden array, we need to rest here. It’s also a good pastime to grind some stones while cultivating!”

Everyone laughed casually as they each took their own spirit pellets to cultivate. Only Yang Junshan was still sitting cross-legged on top of a relatively undamaged spirit box, picking out two of the largest ones from the pile of ores on the side, right and left, and holding them in his hands.

Then, with a slight push of his hands, the spiritual energy in his body was channeled into the two ores under the control of his spiritual sense. Then, the outer layer of the ore began to collapse, and pieces of the ore began to fall.

The whole process took less than an incense’s time. Two thin pieces of jade, which could split thirty or more Jade Coins s, fell into his hands.

“My luck is not bad, but I’ve been here for a long time!”

Yang Junshan smiled, and then the two spirit jades went into the storage bag, then with a suction from both of his hands, the two huge raw stones landed in his palms once again.

This time, it was obvious that he wanted to increase his speed. Unfortunately, in the end, there were some problems with his control over his spiritual energy. When the two pieces of spiritual jades were cut out, they both suffered some damage.

He secretly thought for a moment, then continued to hold the ore and tried to peel it off, at the same time, he slowly increased his control over his spirit energy. The speed at which the ore cut off became faster and faster, and the spirit jade that he peeled off became more and more round and smooth, completely undamaged. The spirit jade that he peeled off in the time it took for an incense stick to burn had some flaws, but in the end, it was only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

While everyone was still recovering the spiritual energy in their bodies, Yang Junshan threw another two spiritual jades at the storage bag.

Yang Junshan’s actions were naturally seen by the others. While they were secretly shocked by the density of the spirit energy in his body, they were also shocked by his control over his own spirit energy.

At that moment, Yan Qinxi, Ning Bin and the rest also followed Yang Junshan’s example and started to use the Spirit Qi in their bodies to cut the ore in their hands, aastime to pass the time during their training.

However, they were obviously unable to have the precise control of Yang Junshan’s spirit energy. Yang Junshan was able to peel off two raw stones in the time it took for a cup of tea to burn, and Yan Zhong, the other people’s best person, was only able to peel off three raw stones in the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

The others, on the other hand, would often have their control of their spiritual energy go wrong during the process of stripping, causing harm to the spirit jade itself. Even if they were to become extremely proficient in it later on, they would only be able to barely reach Yan Zhong’s accuracy.

As for Yang Junping, Su Baozhang and Jiu Li, after trying for a while, they gave up on training and focused on recovering the spirit energy consumed in their bodies.

As for the Spirit Jade that Yang Junshan took out, they did not put it in their eyes at all. It was just a few Spirit Jade, it would only kill two hundred to two hundred Jade Coins, no one would put it in their eyes.

But everyone had forgotten one word, it was the ‘Gathering Sand Towers’. After three days and three nights, everyone had basically recovered from their previous loss, while Yang Junshan, while cultivating to recover, peeled off the raw stones, and at least received the equivalent value of ten thousand Jade Coins s worth of spirit jade. All three boxes of raw stones were taken out by him, while the rest of the people, together, had only taken out six boxes of them, which amounted to about twenty thousand Jade Coins s.

After the group recovered, they cleaned up the ruins of the building, only to discover that there was nothing else other than the box containing the rusted ore. They could only turn their gazes to the next barrier.

“The fifth light barrier isn’t too easy to break through. I’ll probably have to spend several more days.”

Yan Qinxi said listlessly: “This cannot compare to what we gained from the first four layers of the light barrier in the other tunnel. “Hai, in short, the harvest is much better than it is now!”

Yang Junshan laughed, and said: “Who knows, there might be something good after the fifth light screen!”

“He’s comparable to last time?” Yan Qinxi’s eyes lit up.

Yang Junshan was startled, and said: “Then I’ll have to go in deeper!”

Yan Qinxi was immediately discouraged, and said: “Who knows if the next light screen will be broken or not.”
