Chapter 442 Instant Kill of Nascent Soul
"What method?" Chen Beiwu asked with interest.
The Broken Dragon Cliff Pass has now become a thorn in the side of the three sects, Qingling, Chiyang, and Xueyun, who are invading the Yanjing Mountain Annihilation Realm. If it were so easy to take it back, the sects would probably have sent strong people to conquer it long ago, instead of waiting until today.
"Although the fourth-order profound array at Broken Dragon Cliff is powerful, it is not without its flaws." Xinling said confidently, "The Demon Ape's Demon-Binding Chains have the effect of breaking restrictions and are specifically effective against fourth-order profound arrays."
"I'm afraid the Demon-Binding Chains alone are not enough to shake the Dragon-Slaying Cliff," Chen Beiwu said calmly.
"You're right." Xinling nodded, then changed the subject, "But if you include me, it's a completely different story."
"What's the difference?"
Chen Beiwu looked at Xinling and said with a half-smile.
Xinling knew that Chen Beiwu had seen through her thoughts, but she pretended not to know and said frankly, "With just three grains of star sand, I am confident that I can advance to the Heavenly Profound Treasure level. At that time, I will draw upon the starlight of the heavens and, together with the Demon-Imprisoning Chains, I am confident that I can counteract all the formations within the Dragon-Slaying Cliff within a quarter of an hour, creating an excellent opportunity for you to suppress and kill the Crimson Dragon True Monarch."
"Just as I thought." Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
Although Xinling is the spirit of the Heavenly Star Disc and her spirituality is comparable to that of human cultivators, she is still inevitably driven by a degree of self-interest.
Without even thinking, Chen Beiwu knew that Xinling's proposed solution was aimed at the Star Sand in his hand.
This Stardust is a Nascent Soul gift presented by the chief of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven. It is of extraordinary value. In addition to being used for refining artifacts and upgrading the grade of Xuanbao, it can also be consumed by some Heavenly Gang Xuan Beasts to cleanse their physical bodies and bloodlines. It is no exaggeration to say that every grain used is one less grain available.
"As I said before, whether you can get the Star Sand depends on your performance." Chen Beiwu glanced at Xinling.
Upon hearing this, Xinling blinked, revealing an innocent expression.
"Your method is good, but I don't think it's safe enough."
Chen Beiwu shook his head, deciding to solve the problem in his own way.
He wouldn't act rashly and damage his prestige within the sect if he wasn't confident in taking down Duanlong Cliff.
Sensing Chen Beiwu's confidence, Xinling didn't continue to persuade him. With a flash, she obediently returned to the Heavenly Evolution Star Disc.
"Pass on my order: retreat to Blackrock Gorge."
Chen Beiwu lightly tapped the sect's jade talisman with his fingertip and gave the order.
"Just like that, you're leaving?"
The golden egg raised its three dragon heads, its eyes filled with surprise.
In its mind, Chen Beiwu was cautious and not reckless, and should have many ways to deal with the three allied forces.
Tie Dan straightened his limbs, his tail swaying slowly behind him, without any objection.
"Of course we can't just let it go like that," Chen Beiwu said with a smile.
He was well aware of the impact this order would have on the Mirror Moon army, but sometimes clenching his fist was a way to deliver a fatal blow.
"Huh?"
Sure enough, not long after, Schiller, who was in charge of treating the wounded, appeared and rushed into Chen Beiwu's arms, looking puzzled.
It possesses a myriad of profound abilities, allowing it to conceal its presence at will based on the relationships of the five elements, making it undetectable even by fourth-order mystical arrays. It can also freely enter and exit restrictions to a certain extent without being noticed by array masters.
However, Xue Le was confident that he could secretly lead Chen Beiwu into the inner pass of the Broken Dragon Cliff and reclaim many resources of the Mirror Moon Sect without anyone noticing.
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to take down Duanlong Cliff within a month."
Chen Beiwu pointed a finger at Xue Le's cheek, telling him not to worry.
On the other side, inside the Broken Dragon Cliff Pass.
The blood-stained wine cup was slammed onto the jade table. Mo Buyun looked up at the trembling cultivators below and asked in surprise, "Are you sure the Mirror Moon Sect has retreated?"
"I have confirmed that the Mirror Moon Sect's army has retreated back to Black Stone Gorge."
"hehe----!"
Mo Buyun chuckled lightly, his tone contemptuous, "I thought this Mirror Moon Daoist was a once-in-a-millennium genius in the Southern Wilderness."
At this point, he tapped the table lightly with his fingertips: "Turns out he's just a clever person who runs away with his tail between his legs when things get bad."
The words "seeing Mo Buyun is a clever person" were spoken with utter contempt, and the Blood Fortune Sect cultivators below lowered their heads even further, not daring to utter a single word.
"Pass down the order to be constantly vigilant about the reactions from Blackstone Gorge, in case of any trap."
Mo Buyun waved for his subordinates to leave, then turned his head to his right and warmly stepped forward, saying, "Fellow Daoist Sun, what brings you here?"
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Mo, you still haven't given me an explanation," True Monarch Crimson Dragon rebuked.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, please calm down."
Mo Buyun's storage ring flashed slightly, and a jade plaque appeared on the jade table.
"What is this?" True Monarch Crimson Dragon asked, his brows furrowing slightly.
"This is the token of a true disciple of the Taixu Array Sect." Mo Buyun smiled calmly: "Fellow Daoist Sun must also be aware of the Taixu Array Sect ruins that have recently appeared in Yixiantian. If cultivators want to enter safely and cross the Flaming Mountain, they need to possess a token of a true disciple of the Array Sect."
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Crimson Dragon's expression immediately softened, and he revealed a smile.
The Taixu Array Sect ruins that appeared in the First Line Sky were extraordinary, even alarming the Nascent Soul True Venerable Ancestor of the Eight Desolate Sect, the overlord of the Southern Realm.
However, the ruins of the Taixu Array Sect have extremely strict restrictions, allowing only those below the Nascent Soul True Monarch level (including Nascent Soul cultivators) to enter.
Even though the Nascent Soul True Venerable of the Southern Wilderness Sect possessed supreme power, he could not break the restrictions of the Taixu Array Sect ruins and force his way in.
With the True Mandate of the Nascent Soul Sect in hand, he can ignore the flames surrounding the ruins and safely enter the interior.
It is precisely because of this that the Taixu Array Sect's true inheritance token is now a hot commodity in the three realms near Diyan, and its value is immeasurable. Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs are tempted by it.
"In the battle to defend the pass, casualties are inevitable." True Monarch Crimson Dragon's attitude changed drastically: "If we can win this battle, Fellow Daoist Mo should be credited with the greatest merit."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Meanwhile, inside the Black Stone Gorge Cave.
Chen Beiwu activated the Ten Directions Gate to return to the Immortal Alliance.
Withdrawing troops was unavoidable.
If the troops are not withdrawn, and the Mirror Moon Army is stolen by the three-sect alliance on his way back to the Immortal Alliance, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.
Qingming Peak, Shuiyan Residence.
Chen Beiwu took out his phone and opened the Wanbaohui group chat.
As a high-end channel for cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, Wanbaohui's internal market circulates some rare and precious medicines that are hard to find elsewhere, and occasionally even sells some rare and precious materials whose origins are untraceable and which are tainted with dust.
Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense and opened the category of Broken Restriction Mystic Treasures.
In the Immortal Alliance, the most mainstream formations are always the Heaven Formation and the Human Formation, but this does not mean that Immortal Alliance cultivators do not know much about the Earth Formation.
-
On the contrary, because each activation of the Earth Array requires a large amount of mountain and earth vein power, making it unsustainable, most of the high-level array masters in the Immortal Alliance have thoroughly studied the Earth Array and then improved it into a Heaven Array that consumes less spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
The array treasure that Chen Beiwu was looking for was very simple: it was a one-time special treasure developed by the Immortal Alliance's Star Hub specifically for the outer world.
These kinds of strategic treasures rarely leak out; only those who have achieved the highest rank in the Starry Sky can exchange them for merits within the Starry Sky Pivot.
Chen Beiwu is not a Star Conqueror, so theoretically he shouldn't be able to purchase such a strategic treasure.
But as long as there are interests involved, there will never be a shortage of sellers willing to sell strategic treasures.
【Name】: Earth Phase Returning to Origin Pearl (One-Time Use Mystic Treasure)
[Source]: The eighth sequence of Xuanbao from the Celestial Star Workshop of the Immortal Alliance Star Pivot (an upgraded version for complex attribute mountain-protecting formations).
[Description]: This treasure is crafted with the Reverse Meridian Marrow Crystal as its core. Once activated, it can ignore the restrictions of the fourth-order composite earth array and directly embed itself into the array's pivot node, triggering the "Earth Phase Return to Origin". It forcibly severs and destroys the earth array structure and array patterns, causing an absolute interruption and collapse of the spiritual energy supply.
【How to use】: Direct activation only breaks the formation. Embedding the Returning Origin Pearl into the formation's core node can completely destroy the formation. 【Warning】: Activating this treasure will cause the earth veins within a radius of a thousand miles of the formation's core to become completely disordered. No earth formation can be set up within a hundred years unless a high-level formation master sorts it out and guides it.
[Starting Price]: One top-grade spirit stone (can be exchanged for ritual resources)
"This price is outrageous!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
Although he was not a Star Conqueror, he knew that the value of the Returning Yuan Pearl was around five thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Let alone a top-grade spirit stone, even buying it with half a top-grade spirit stone would be a losing proposition.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu did not hesitate to contact the auctioneer's account directly.
Sword Immortal (Drunken Swordsman): [Top-grade spirit stones are priceless; would you sell for five thousand high-grade spirit stones?]
Master Roshi: [Too little, one thousand high-grade spirit stones plus one drop of True Essence Dew.]
Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and looked at the category of Broken Mystic Treasures, discovering that the auctioneers' accounts were all those of Turtle Immortal.
Interesting. This Turtle Master is able to produce so many strategic treasures for breaking through restrictions, so he must hold a high position in the Star Hub.
Sword Immortal of Wine: [5,500 high-grade spirit stones]
Master Roshi: [Impossible, without the Heavenly Dew of Condensation, it would cost at least seven thousand high-grade spirit stones.]
Chen Beiwu glanced at the message but did not respond.
Although high-grade spirit stones are not as precious as top-grade spirit stones and cannot be considered hard currency, they can still easily purchase some fourth-tier natural treasures.
If he were to spend seven thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy the Earth Phase Returning Origin Pearl now, he would be a complete sucker.
If this route is blocked, Chen Beiwu can try another channel and buy from Tian Yuanyu's family.
To put it bluntly, given Chen Beiwu's current status in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, no one would object to his desire to research the Earth Array to collect the Returning Origin Pearls. Even Xiao Yu's lineage wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
After all, the Earth Phase Returning Origin Pearl is useless against Heavenly Arrays and Human Arrays, and the arrays set up by the Immortal Alliance on Tianyuan Star are basically Heavenly Arrays.
Five minutes later, Chen Beiwu's phone vibrated and a message popped up.
Master Roshi: [Fine, consider it making friends. Five thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones will do.]
This time, Chen Beiwu did not continue to haggle and decisively reached a deal.
Three days later, in Tianyuan City.
Chen Beiwu successfully obtained the Earth Phase Returning Origin Pearl at the Wanbaohui trading counter without any setbacks, but at the cost of spending most of his Jade Purity Immortal Sect credits and spirit stones.
That night, at Black Stone Gorge.
Shu You stood quietly outside Chen Beiwu's cave, ready to go into battle at any time.
Meanwhile, Chen Beiwu had already teleported through the Ten Directions Gate and appeared outside the Broken Dragon Cliff.
"Hey!" (Don't worry!)
Schiller patted his chest, indicating that with its ever-changing and mysterious abilities providing cover, it was impossible for them to be discovered.
Chen Beiwu nodded and followed beside Xue Le, silently traversing the gaps between the underground rock layers and the spiritual veins.
-
Just then, Chen Beiwu slightly raised his eyes and, without using his divine sense, perceived the fourth-order profound array restriction deep within the rock layer with his naked eyes.
To be fair, even if a Nascent Soul Peak True Monarch were to make a move, it would be extremely difficult to sneak into Broken Dragon Cliff silently. It would be much simpler to show up, break the formation, and force his way in. But Xue Le Xuan Tong is too powerful.
It's your turn to perform!
As soon as Chen Beiwu finished thinking, Xue Le activated the Myriad Transformations Profound Power and the Five Qi Yuan Forest True Domain to amplify its power. Then, she stretched out her small hand forward.
Very good, the array and restrictions have no effect.
The infiltration was a complete success!
Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and based on his memories of the previous battle, he began to search for the key node of the Myriad Blood Returning to the Corpse Guiding Soul Array.
On the other side, deep within the Broken Dragon Cliff, lies a luxurious palace.
The bed smelled cloyingly sweet.
Mo Buyun held a beautiful female cultivator in his right arm, while his left hand combined with the Joyful Seal to cultivate his magic power in a dual cultivation.
Suddenly, Mo Buyun stopped instinctively, sensing that something was wrong.
"True Lord, what's wrong?"
"Get out of here!"
Mo Buyun pushed the beautiful female cultivator away.
When one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, one's spiritual perception is beyond human comprehension, enabling one to issue early warnings and detect life-or-death crises.
Could it be that something has happened to the sect? Or is Daoist Jingyue plotting something in secret?
Mo Buyun frowned, having lost his interest in dual cultivation.
"!!!"
Suddenly, Mo Buyun's pupils contracted violently, and he instinctively summoned his protective natal treasure, but he still couldn't react in time.
"How is that possible!"
Watching the threat of death loom before his very eyes, yet unable to detect the slightest trace of Xuan Tong within his vast divine sense, Mo Buyun nearly vomited blood from the indescribable sense of frustration and despair.
"boom!"
The next instant, Mo Buyun's face froze, and the nascent soul deep within his spiritual sea of consciousness opened its eyes, attempting to shed its shell and escape.
However, as the formless and intangible divine sense swept past in an instant, Mo Buyun's nascent soul split in two, as if it had been cut off by an invisible divine sword. The crack in the nascent soul's body was as smooth as a mirror and did not dissipate for a long time.
Mo Buyun's eyes showed despair. He tried his best to activate the Blood Luck Sect's Xuan Tong and the Purple Mansion Yang Shen, but he could not heal the separated nascent soul. Instead, his three souls and seven spirits were extinguished instantly, leaving him no chance to possess another body and be reincarnated.
The female cultivator beside him had her head down. When she noticed that Mo Buyun hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't help but look up. She then saw that a drop of scarlet blood had suddenly appeared between the True Lord's eyebrows, and the light in his eyes was slowly fading away.
"Gurgle!"
The naked female cultivator swallowed hard, covered her red lips with her hands, and even though she was terrified, she didn't dare to cry out. Instead, she knelt down and touched the ground with her head.
The reason is simple: a powerful person who can kill Mo Zhenjun in an instant can naturally kill her in an instant as well!
You're a smart man, knowing the only way to survive, but the bloodshed you've committed is no small matter!
Chen Beiwu appeared, glanced at the female cultivator, and easily shattered her mind.
The terror of the Taixiao Jizhao God-Slaying Thorn lies in its formlessness and intangibility, yet it can slay gods and spirits.
The advanced Xuan Tong of the God-Slaying Thorn is recorded in the Primordial Cave True Immortal Method, and is called the Silent Illumination of Myriad Phenomena Xuan Guang Thorn. It can silently kill the Nascent Soul of a cultivator. Even a True Monarch's spiritual sense would find it difficult to detect the traces of the Xuan Tong. It is especially suitable for stealthy assassination.
Next target: Crimson Dragon True Lord!
With the shackles providing cover, Chen Beiwu's figure slowly disappeared into the main hall.
