Chapter 241: Chapter 167: Soul Dance
“`
The Nine Peaks, even without the protection of the Sect Formation, remained majestic. Their natural Formation that pierced the heavens, with clouds and mist twining among the peaks, endowed the place with an innate aura of an immortal family.
Elder Zang looked at the Nine Peaks with satisfaction. It was evident that even though the Sky Sea Sect wasn’t much to speak of, they had managed their abode very well.
“This place will serve as the main peak of the sect, and the other Eight Peaks will be distributed among you—send a group to clean them up!” Elder Zang’s aged voice emanated as he pointed towards the Central Peak.
Following Elder Zang’s orders, array masters and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Mingxin Sect entered the Nine Peaks to start clearing out the remaining facilities.
Of course, the focus was the Central Peak—to clean it up first to accommodate Elder Zang.
The cultivators of the Mingxin Sect, especially the array masters, were very excited, as the Sky Sea Sect had left in such a hurry that the Sect Formation was almost untouched.
This was normal, for without an Array Master, the Sky Sea Sect couldn’t simply dismantle their Sect Formation. Without the aid of an Array Master, this task could not be completed swiftly.
Elder Zang had only given six hours and did not afford the Sky Sea Sect the same amount of time.
“Elder, it seems the Sky Sea Sect knew their place, leaving the entire Formation intact. It will be much easier for our sect to rebuild the Formation here in the future!” a Golden Core cultivator said to Elder Zang, laughing.
“Your vision is too narrow. Even if we take over the entire territory of the Sky Sea Island, the output obtained would not be equal to a third of our original resources in Beishu. I am on my last legs—it is my hope that one of you can advance to the Nascent Soul stage and lead our sect back to Beishu,” Elder Zang said indifferently, not all that joyful.
Out of the seven sects on Sky Sea Island, none had produced a Nascent Soul cultivator in ten thousand years—one could imagine the quality of the resources here.
If the Mingxin Sect were indeed to find a safe haven here, it wouldn’t be long before its demise.
He himself had less than a hundred years of life left. No matter how he clung to life, he couldn’t protect the sect for more than a century. If no Golden Core cultivator advanced to Nascent Soul within this century, then they would completely lose hope of returning to Beishu.
By then, Mingxin Sect would just be another one of the seven sects, slowly withering away on Sky Sea Island.
The Golden Core cultivators, chastened by Elder Zang, wore expressions of shame. They had experienced a long flight and finally found a place to settle, but had forgotten that they were equally destitute.
“Elder speaks truly!” the Golden Core cultivators bowed and said.
As many array masters and Foundation Establishment cultivators were clearing the Nine Peaks, within the great hall of the Spirit Mechanism Pavilion on Dui Peak, the flickering light of a Formation revealed a graceful figure.
This person was none other than Junior Master Song, dressed in a white gown and wearing a white headscarf—in mourning attire.
Her face bore a smile as she sensed the approaching Foundation Establishment cultivators. Through some hidden Formations, she could even sense a sizable number of cultivators converging on each of the peaks.
“Without you in the mortal world, what immortal realm is there left?” Junior Master Song chuckled through her tears.
The great hall seemed to still carry the aura of Zhuge Xuan. She could almost see the figure of Zhuge Xuan studying Formations alongside her.
She vividly remembered the oaths they swore to each other—to live and die together, to grow old side by side.
Both of them, driven to become Golden Core cultivators, had not married. They had regarded Elder Yin and Elder Ren as the hope for both of them.
Elder Yin and Elder Ren married only after achieving the Golden Core and succeeded in having children—Yin Shilan and Ren Fei’er—both of whom possessed Heavenly Spirit Roots.
It’s not easy for Golden Core cultivators to have children, but if they succeed, the spirit root seeds have a great chance of inheriting the parents’ strengths.
Cultivators who can advance to Golden Core are unlikely to have poor spirit roots.
How Junior Master Song wished she could don a wedding dress and become Zhuge Xuan’s wife, but now she could only wear mourning clothes to seek revenge for Zhuge Xuan!
Li Shiming hadn’t received notification from the Sky Sea Sect, and his Identity Jade Disc was banned by her actions. She was furious: how did Li Shiming survive while accompanying Zhuge Xuan, when only Zhuge Xuan died?
She was even more enraged by the Beishu Mingxin Sect, which had killed Zhuge Xuan. With her strength, she could not seek revenge directly, so she chose to stay behind.
Junior Master Song was a High-level Array Master, and in the last year of the sect, she had managed the Sect Formation. The sect also made a significant amount of Formation resources available for her to strengthen.@@novelbin@@
During this time, she had tampered with numerous things, such as adding special Formations to the nodes of the Nine Peaks’ Formation.
As a High-level Array Master with the support of the Sect Formation, she wondered if, with such conditions and leveraging what she had learned in her lifetime, she could take revenge for Zhuge Xuan and maybe even kill more cultivators from the Mingxin Sect.
Junior Master Song continued to laugh. Since learning of Zhuge Xuan’s death, she hadn’t laughed once, but today she laughed heartily.
Above her head, Array Formation Starlight Sea surged forth, and then the previously closed Sect Formation suddenly lit up.
At the main spiritual vein of the sect, a guiding Formation channeled all the internal Spiritual Energy toward the Sect Formation, allowing it to activate so rapidly.
“What’s happening?” a Golden Core cultivator, waiting in the air, exclaimed in surprise as he looked down towards the Nine Peaks and shouted out loud.
Elder Zang’s terrifying Divine Thought swept over the Nine Peaks. He had not anticipated that there was still a cultivator hidden within them.
Seeing the Sect Formation of the Nine Peaks close, he had not paid much attention at the time, merely scanning it casually without much scrutiny.
Indeed, even if all the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators of the Sky Sea Sect had stayed, combined with the Sect Formation, they could not have stopped Elder Zang from seizing this place. It would just have meant that any remaining cultivators of the Sky Sea Sect would have been executed.
