Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 274: Chapter 274 What a Useless Treasure_1

“That’s good.”

Shen Yi sheathed his sword formation, looking ahead, “And this bamboo forest?”

Speaking of the bamboo forest, A’Qing’s face once again showed a trace of excitement, “This is definitely not an array that a mere artifact refiner could construct. Its nature is completely different from the overall structure of the cave, it must have been the work of a real master.”

After finishing, he took out the map he had found on the ground earlier, “Mysterious Light Cave has speculated more than seventy routes; it seems as though a path to life is hidden within. But by the time they have all been tried, the seventy will have turned into hundreds, or even thousands of paths.”

“It is this master’s deliberate flaw, playing with those who trespass.”

“Once one believes in this path, I’m afraid even a striver from the Divinity Transformation Realm might fall within.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Shen Yi felt an itch in his brain and could only nod noncommittally.

“Grandmaster, give me a little more time to imprint this formation, I should be able to unravel it,” A’Qing waved his palm, full of confidence, but then bowed his head in shame.

“There’s no use in deciphering it, the Teleportation Array is about to close, and we don’t know when it will open again.”

If it was just for gaining insight, naturally, it was a substantial harvest.

But Grandmaster Shen was probably just after the treasure inside.

“It’s alright, you do what you need to.”

Shen Yi didn’t show any signs of disappointment, remaining as calm as ever.

He had only one question.

The Mysterious Light Cave had someone guarding its entrance, stepping forward one would be met with a formation; even the Great Qian had interconnected silver bells, so how could the Mysterious Light Cave not have something similar?

Moreover, with the formation broken, everyone had been randomly teleported to different locations.

In other words, as long as the guarding grandmaster of the Mysterious Light Cave stepped into the formation, there could be a chance to send out a message.

In such a situation, it was still possible for the White Feathered Demon Emperor to stroll up to an unprepared Zhang Mingyang.

After all, he was a cultivator of the Ultimate Realm Primordial, a grandmaster whose profound strength should not allow him to be slain in a single step; that was utterly absurd.

If not mistaken, there was likely another entrance.

Once A’Qing had worked out the formation, they would simply summon the White Feathered Demon Emperor to ask and then know for certain.

“…”

A’Qing noticed Shen Yi’s expression, and to her, its meaning was entirely different.

Knowing that they couldn’t get in, yet still willing to waste precious time to stay and help her imprint the formation.

Ever since leaving home, where did A’Qing meet such a good-tempered and powerful individual?

Even at home, only her father would be so patient with his daughter.

In a low voice, she said, “Thank you, Grandmaster Shen.”

“Just call me Shen Yi.”

Shen Yi nodded, turned, and left, no longer disturbing the other party.

He knew about formations, had extensive knowledge, and also knew the whereabouts of a Superior Spirit Root.

This time he had indeed encountered a treasure.

He needed to find an excuse to keep her by his side.

“Shen Yi.”

A’Qing whispered the name to herself, staring at his retreating figure, clenching her hands helplessly.

Considering how decisive and resolute he was in his earlier actions, daring to address him by his name was something not even several doses of courage could prompt her to do.

“Let’s focus on the task at hand!”

She took out the paper and pen once more, determined not to waste any more of Shen Brother’s time—this opportunity he had given her.

…

For cultivators of the Primordial Realm who have lifespans spanning thousands of years,

Three days is but a fleeting moment.

Chen Zhong returned from a distance, “Senior Shen, I took a stroll around; occasionally you can see a few cultivators from the Embrace Pill Realm passing by, it seems to be safe now.”

A’Qing earnestly finished the last stroke and then ran over to the two in a fluster.

“We must go! Hurry, or we’ll be too late!”

Seeing her naive and innocent appearance, Chen Zhong couldn’t help but sigh with frustration.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, every cultivator of the Embrace Pill Realm had fought their way out of blood and gore.

Only a family truly isolated from the world could nurture such a junior.

It was because Jiuzhou was vast—if only the Xu Family could construct a similar hidden formation to cover the entirety of Great Qian, everyone could mind their own business, which would be much easier and straightforward.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Yi rode the crimson clouds, not concealing the aura that enveloped him, and followed A’Qing’s directions towards the main entrance of the cave dwelling.

Chen Zhong realized what he was thinking and summoned his Dao Infant of Upper Realm Primordial, letting his momentum spread out as well.

Both Primordials were preparing to evacuate.

Anyone with a bit of sense should also follow them and leave.

As for those unwilling to depart, they would have to resign themselves to fate.@@novelbin@@

At that moment, somewhere in the cave dwelling.

A man with a black mole on his face spat out in anger: “Pah!”

He had been cautiously searching around in this place for many days, yet hadn’t found the slightest gain.

“Dammit, dammit!”

After cursing, the man with the mole felt an immense headache.

As a cultivator in the Primordial Realm, there should be very few things in the world that could pose a problem for him.

But borrowing someone else’s item and exchanging it for a useless piece of junk.

Hoping to make a profit through connections.

But no matter how eloquently he argued, he couldn’t extricate himself, and he even provoked ridicule earlier at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.

Ridicule was bearable, but now he owed several friends their precious treasures and really couldn’t explain it.

He could only try his luck in the cave dwelling.

“Last chance, give me one more opportunity, I swear I won’t do such a foolish thing again!”

The man with the mole continued to delve deeper inwards, but at that moment, two overwhelming auras captured his attention.

“What’s going on?”

He looked up and saw two Primordial Grandmasters going all out, dashing towards the outside.

Something was not right!

A feeling of urgency gripped his heart, and he quickly halted his steps.

After a mere moment of hesitation, the man with the mole turned tail and without looking back, hastily summoned his Dao Infant, following in that direction as he leapt into the air.

Regardless of what had happened, it definitely wasn’t good.

He had no confidence in his own luck at the moment, better to flee than to face the music.

…

Two majestic and spiritually abundant mountains complimented each other.

Between them, dense weeds swayed with the wind.

Dim light suffused throughout the space.

The array seemed to be long neglected, having lost its past splendor.

As time passed, the already dim brilliance of the array continued to fade…

Shen Yi landed with Chen Zhong and A’Qing from the air.

Yet around them, more than a dozen figures had gathered.

Among them were a few familiar faces.

The brothers from the Yu Family and the other three Primordial Grandmasters were all present.

Yu Yuehu, clutching the broken body of his older brother, had a face full of raging anger, yet his eyes flickered with frustration and worry.

“Why haven’t you left yet?”

Chen Zhong frowned, and looked over. The other’s brother was seriously injured; if not treated soon, there would be dire consequences.

“Senior.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuehu’s face was bitter. He didn’t immediately respond but turned to show Chen Zhong the palm print on his back.

Then he said, “We had left, but were driven back… Mysterious Light Cave insists on searching my brother and me. I don’t care about the trivial Precious Tools on me, but they also want to search my older brother!”

“With their reputation, how dare I entrust my brother to them.”

No sooner had he spoken than a wave of collective outrage arose, as everyone began to curse loudly.

“A high-level Ultimate Realm Primordial master acting so shamelessly, openly trying to rob us in front of Eight Directions Food Pavilion! Aren’t they afraid of tarnishing the pavilion’s reputation, provoking Xuanjian True Person’s troubles?”

“He is indeed an Ultimate Realm Grandmaster and comes from Mysterious Light Cave, I’m afraid only a Transcendent Spirit True Man could deal with him.”

Yu Yuehu sighed; having been struck, he knew full well the severity of the situation. He had assumed Chen Zhong would be equally worried, considering the gains the other party must’ve acquired while staying in the cave dwelling.

What he didn’t expect was.

“Oh.”

Chen Zhong nodded, his expression unchanged as he quietly stepped back behind Shen Yi.
