A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 827



Minor Sumeru Vajra Formation

Although Marquis Nanlong’s voice was calm, his eyes were filled with greed as he stared at the spiritual medicines on the table, wishing he could capture all of them.

All of these spiritual medicines were items that he and the old man needed the most. Now that they were so close, he naturally felt an unbearable itch in his heart.

As soon as he saw these spiritual medicines, he immediately wanted to sweep them away without a second thought. However, he didn’t expect that there would be an extremely strange restriction spell here. As a result, he had no choice but to obediently wait for the old man.

When Marquis Nanlong heard Lu Weiying call out the name of the Minor Sumeru Vajra Formation, his spirits were roused and he rejoiced.

As soon as he came into contact with the restriction, he discovered that the spell formation here was vastly different from the many spell formations he had studied in the past, and he was somewhat worried. Now that the old man recognized this spell formation, it was naturally great.

Marquis Nanlong suppressed his excitement and expectantly asked, “Brother Lu, do you recognize the restrictions here?”

The old man turned his gaze back to the table and frowned, “In the past, I obtained a few Buddhist cultivation records. Although I didn’t cultivate them due to the attributes of my cultivation arts, I do remember a few of the Buddhist restrictions. This Minor Sumeru Vajra Formation is one of the most wondrous formations. Brother Nanlong, if the restrictions here are truly this formation, it will be quite troublesome.”

“What do you mean? Could it be that this formation can’t be broken?” Marquis Nanlong’s expression changed slightly in disbelief.

After a moment of contemplation, the old man solemnly said, “This Minor Sumeru Vajra Formation is also known as the Vajra Immortal Trapping Formation. Perhaps it is one of the few restrictions in the world that can only be completely broken with brute force. There are no other techniques to break the formation. In order to break this formation, one must constantly use all sorts of attacks to wear down the formation’s barrier. In terms of defensive power, it may not be ranked among the top formations, but in terms of endurance, this formation is indestructible in the Buddhist sects. As long as the restriction isn’t completely destroyed, it will quickly recover.”

Then, as if to confirm his words, Lu Weiying casually flicked his finger and a fireball suddenly shot toward the table several tens of feet away.

The fireball had yet to reach the table when it exploded into nothingness.

A thick light barrier surrounded by spiritual light appeared on the table.

The barrier of light was shimmering with golden light, and ancient Buddhist characters the size of bean sprouted from its surface. They were like blossoming silver flowers that covered the barrier of light.

Marquis Nanlong’s expression darkened. He had already seen this before, so he didn’t reveal any surprise.

“Huh! What is this?” The old man exclaimed.

Marquis Nanlong was startled and couldn’t help but turn his head.

Lu Weiying was staring at a certain spot in the golden barrier with an expression of astonishment.

Marquis Nanlong was flabbergasted, and spiritual light flashed from his eyes as he looked through the barrier with great effort.

Within the golden light barrier, a silver bowl the size of a head suddenly appeared at the center of the table.

There were all sorts of profound talisman characters floating on the surface of the alms bowl, and there were eight white jade talismans lying in the center.

About a foot above the alms bowl, there were three small objects floating motionlessly in the air.

Marquis Nanlong took a closer look and saw that it was a small silver sword, a pitch-black staff, and a blood-red bead.

Although these three items were only about an inch in size, they emitted wisps of tri-colored spiritual light. The three strands of spiritual light intertwined and enveloped the round bowl on the table.

Marquis Nanlong was dumbstruck.

The alms bowl, jade talisman, and the three magic tools mysteriously disappeared from the table in a flash. Soon after, the golden barrier of Buddhist runes around them disappeared without a trace.

What was going on? When the light barrier had appeared previously, he hadn’t seen any of these items. How could Lu Weiying’s subsequent attack have caused these items to appear on the offering table?

Marquis Nanlong’s lips were tightly shut, but he was still bewildered by the disappearance of the light barrier.

Lu Weiying naturally didn’t have these questions. Instead, he pondered over the alms bowl and other items that newly appeared.

Anyone could see that the spiritual medicines were only a foil to the new items that had appeared in the restriction. What could the treasures that were more valuable than these heaven-defying spiritual items be?

Just thinking about it caused the old man’s heart to thump!

The misgivings and uneasiness he felt when he saw the Blood Curse Gate were immediately thrown to the back of his mind.

Marquis Nanlong had the same thought and suddenly smiled at the old man, “Brother Lu, it seems we’ve come to the right place. If we can break the Buddhist restrictions, our trip will be worth it.”

“That’s right. I didn’t think that there would be so many secret treasures behind the Blood Curse Gate. However, it won’t be easy to break through this restriction. We cannot do it without spending a few more days and losing a bit of vitality.” The old man also squeezed out a smile.

Marquis Nanlong stared at the old man and bluntly said, “Hehe! I am willing to lose ten years of my lifespan to acquire these treasures, not to mention losing my vitality. Just now, Fellow Daoist said that there is only one method to break through this formation. It seems we’ll have to be busy! There is no time to lose. Let’s act now. When the time comes, after we break the restrictions, we’ll split everything equally between us. How about it?”

“Since Brother Nanlong has said so, I will naturally comply.” The old man naturally wanted to take out the treasures and readily agreed.

Marquis Nanlong revealed a satisfied expression.

However, at that moment, the two of them faintly opened up a certain distance and felt a trace of vigilance from each other.

Afterwards, the old man took out the white magic flag and tossed it into the air before sitting down with his legs crossed. Marquis Nanlong waved his sleeve and the golden flying sword shot forth.

In the blink of an eye, a typhoon raged as sword Qi swept through the air, creating a golden barrier of light once again.

Rumbling sounds rang out continuously from underground.

Near a mountaintop, an azure streak of light swept past.

At the center of the green light, Han Li was hurrying on his way.

At this moment, he had already swept past the mountain where the Purple Pattern Scorpions were and was traveling towards the cave from which he had entered the inner valley.

Because he had already walked this path once, Han Li was quite familiar with it, and his speed was several times faster than when he came.

Originally, it had taken more than a day for him when he came, but Han Li only spent a third of the time this time.

Just as he was estimating that he would be able to re-enter the cave in another two hours, he suddenly heard a faint series of explosions from afar.

Han Li’s expression changed and he paused for a moment. He could not help but turn his head to look in that direction.

With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he detected a peculiar fluctuation of spiritual Qi.

Han Li could not help but narrow his eyes. In the distant mountains, there was a faint white light flashing.

If he remembered correctly, it was a place where he suspected that there were restrictions and ancient cultivator treasures.contemporary romance

It appeared that other cultivators had finally entered the valley and were beginning to search for treasures.

Han Li thought for a moment and shook his head.

The thought of fishing in troubled waters flashed through his mind, but he forcibly suppressed it.

In addition, in order to avoid attracting the attention of others, he quickly swept his spiritual sense past the area and didn’t search for the treasure hunters.

To Han Li, the less trouble, the better. The azure light shot forward again, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace from the nearby mountain.

Tens of kilometers away from where Han Li was looking, there was a group of more than ten cultivators who were using various magic treasures to attack a small mountain that was enveloped in white light.

They were led by the Moulan Divine Sage Zhong and the woman surnamed Le. They were all Moulan spell warriors.

When Han Li flew far away, Scholar Zhong raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced in the direction that Han Li flew.

Lady Le noticed the scholar’s strange expression and couldn’t help but ask, “What? Did Brother Zhong notice something amiss?”

The scholarly man indifferently said, “It’s nothing. Just now, a Heavenly South cultivator used his spiritual sense to probe this area, but he didn’t seem to plan on meddling. He merely swept his gaze through the distance and flew away. It is more important for us to break the restriction, so I can’t be bothered to investigate.”

Lady Le sighed and helplessly said, “Brother Zhong is correct. The restrictions here have been broken to the most crucial point. I hope this place isn’t like the previous one. Apart from some scrap metal, there are no treasures. Two people died in the spatial tear along the way.”

When Scholar Zhong heard this, his expression sank and he said, “There is nothing we can do about it. Those invisible spatial tears are truly impossible to guard against. As for the low-grade spirit birds we’ve prepared in advance, they immediately went berserk as soon as they entered the valley. They swarmed around the valley like bees and were unable to control themselves. Otherwise, their deaths could’ve been avoided.”

Lady Le pensively said, “Those spirit birds didn’t seem to have gone mad. Instead, they seemed to be extremely afraid of the inner valley. Could it be that there is something here that specializes in restraining demon beasts? The Black-Winged Eagle I borrowed was already a grade five spirit bird. But it didn’t listen to my commands after entering the inner valley and was even unwilling to fly out of its spirit beast pouch. It seems Devilfall Valley is quite strange.”

A cold glint flashed from the scholar’s eyes, and he solemnly said, “Perhaps. This place is known as the most dangerous place in the Heavenly South Region, so it is only natural that there are some mysteries here. However, we aren’t here to uncover the mystery of Devilfall Valley. Instead, we are here to search for ancient treasures and spirit pills for Moulan. As such, we will have to continue searching even if we don’t have any spirit birds to open the way. This is a rare opportunity that we’ve acquired by making a deal with the higher-ups of the four great powers of the Heavenly South Region. We must not waste it.”
