Chapter 310: Clear Breeze
The grand array of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak was set up by these five Five Elements Sword Mountain.
Within these five mountains, there were also the Sword Burial Tombs of past Shu Mountain experts.
As soon as the grand array was activated, the sword qi in the Sword Peak mixed with the sword intent in the Sword Tombs, forming the light swords.
Countless five-colored light swords spun and danced around the five mountains.
Soon, a brilliant sword light tornado surrounded all the cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
Moreover, as Shenshan Jianyi formed the seal, countless sword lights began to press towards the center. The safety space in the center of the tornado also began to shrink.
A few Blood Saber Guards who did not have time to react were swept into the sword light. In an instant, they turned into a blood fog that scattered towards the flowers and grass below.
In these millions of sword lights, the quantity had already undergone an exaggerated qualitative change.
Even if one's cultivation was high and could block one sword, ten swords, or a hundred swords, could they block a thousand swords?
These were all Shu Mountain sword lights augmented by sharp sword intent. They were not superficial.
"Damn it, we've been tricked!"
"The Immortal Ascension Pavilion is really bold! They actually dare to ally with these small local sects to lie to us!"
At this point, how could they not know that they had fallen into a trap?
This was definitely related to the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.
"The communication spirit stone can't take effect here. Let's kill our way out! We must teach these rural cultivators a lesson!"
The Soul Formation cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect joined forces and slashed again.
The cross-shaped blood-colored blade light collided with the sword light tornado. The high-speed spinning Five Elements Sword Light quickly dissipated the cross-shaped blade light.
The saber light only advanced 200 feet in the sword light storm before it was riddled with holes and finally torn apart.
Although they had also consumed a lot of the five elements light swords, the power of the grand array originated from the earth vein and was endless. Compared to this mountain gate grand array, they could not win even if they died from exhaustion.
They had no other choice after such a desperate struggle. They could only desperately brandish the blood saber in their hands, hoping to break open a hole in the sword light array.
A rock might splash into the water for a moment, and in the next second, the ripples would be washed away by the rapid flow of water.
Their struggles were destined to be futile.
Jiang Li looked at the storm in front of him and could not help but be shocked.
If he was inside and did not have the Black Scale Armor and Dragon Imprisoning Lock, he would probably not have much of a chance of survival.
This was the strongest array in the entire Great Mountain Region.
Furthermore, it was controlled by the Shu Mountain's Sword Head and the four peak masters. With such VIP treatment, even if the number of enemies increased by a few times, they would still die on the spot.
As long as Sword Head Shenshan was around, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak would be a sect that could not be taken down. This saying was really not empty words.
A few hours later, all the Blood Saber Guards were killed under the Shu Mountain Array.
The only flaw of the Shu Mountain Array was that it was too powerful. It was very difficult to leave a few survivors.
After the sword light storm dissipated, they did not even leave behind corpses, artifacts, or storage bags. They were all stirred into unrecognizable powder by the Five Elements Sword Light that filled the sky.
It was only because Jiang Li was still a little interested in their flesh and blood that he gathered some and placed them in the coffin as high-grade fertilizer.
With the power of this sword array, even if they broke through the Demon Subduing Pagoda, as long as the Earth Spirit of the Five Elements Peak did not escape, they would not be able to escape death if they were surrounded by this array.
After that, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak reported a funeral for the few patrolling disciples who died in this battle.
In order to successfully lure these Blood Saber Guards into Shu Mountain, they had sacrificed their young lives. This kind of sacrifice to fulfill the plan of the majority was never fair and righteous.
At first, Jiang Li wanted to use puppets or controlled demonic cultivators to replace them. However, that would undoubtedly greatly increase the probability of failure of the plan. Then, because of the persistence of the five disciples, they were sacrificed in the end.
However, the only consolation was that Junior Sister Qingluo, who was protected in the middle by the five of them, was saved by the medical cultivators.
As the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, Jiang Li personally buried their flying swords into the Sword Tomb after giving a speech at the funeral.
Then, he pulled the three Sect Masters to a secret room and chatted for a long time.
He wanted the approval of these three to obtain a dangerous item sealed with great caution.
"This… Little friend Jiang Li, the demonic nature of that thing is monstrous and bewitching. It's truly too dangerous."
"Your talent is overflowing. If you want strength, it won't be long before you obtain it. That thing is not suitable for you."
When the three Sect Masters heard Jiang Li's request, they did not even listen to the reason and started to shake their heads repeatedly. That was because that thing was indeed too dangerous.
What Jiang Li wanted was the specialty of the Asura World, an Earth-rank spiritual seed that could produce results based on the karma planted, the Karma Cleansing Lotus!
This kind of cleansing lotus did not have a very obvious attribute. It would show the characteristics of whatever energy was infused into it.
In the beginning, when it was in the hands of the Black Lotus Divine Sect, it was the demonic lotus that formed a black lotus seed.
Later on, it was obtained by Benevolent Travel Temple. After using the Buddhist power to purify it for more than 200 years, it became a Buddhist lotus and formed a golden lotus seed.
After the two lotus seeds were taken away by Jiang Li, in order to open the door to the Asura World, the Hundred Tempering Mountain did not hesitate to sacrifice a large number of disciples and even the higher-ups of the sect to allow it to recover its monstrous demonic nature.
After a great battle, it was seized again, although they knew that this was a rare treasure that was at least Earth-rank, with the example of Benevolent Travel Temple's near destruction, no one dared to think about this anymore.
After being sealed, it was placed in the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda.
At this moment, Jiang Li wanted to take it out again.
How could the three Sect Masters agree so easily?
They even took Jiang Li to be a young man that was about to walk down the wrong path, and they started to take turns to reason with him and move his emotions, hoping that Jiang Li would give up on such a dangerous thought.
With Jiang Li's cultivation speed, he would have everything in a few years, so why bother with such trouble?
Jiang Li accepted their words modestly. After they finished speaking, he gave his reason.
Although he could temporarily delay the Myriad Slaughter Sect for a period of time after dealing with the Blood Saber Guards,
However, a demonic sect of the other party's level would not give up on attacking the Great Mountain Region because of this.
Waiting here to be beaten up was clearly not a good idea.
Therefore, Jiang Li planned to think of a way to obstruct the Myriad Slaughter Sect and make them temporarily unable to care about anything else.
It was a good idea to find a troublesome opponent for them.
Hearing this, the three Sect Masters already understood Jiang Li's meaning.
They pondered for a moment. This seemed to be a solution.
However…
"No, that's still too dangerous."
"Jiang Li, your cultivation is too low. You can't let your guard down when facing that kind of demonic creature. You're the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, so you can't take the risk."
"We can leave these things to others."
The three of them agreed with this plan. As for the person executing the plan, they had to find another person.
In other words, the demons were too powerful to take the risk.
If they knew that he had already taken a lot of benefits from the Asura World, who knew how they would feel?
The problem they mentioned most likely did not exist on Jiang Li's side. However, how to convince them to believe him was the problem.
"Valley Master, Seniors, I'm the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance. Don't underestimate me."
"The three of you should know that if we want to control that demonic lotus, we must possess profound attainments in rune array formations to analyze the manuals left behind by the Black Lotus Divine Sect."
"Uncle-Masters Dongfang Guangling and the others are not in the Great Mountain Region. It's not that I'm bragging, but in the current Great Mountain Region, it should be very difficult to find a Runic Array Master stronger than me."
"In addition, I've once cultivated a spirit refinement cultivation method. My attainments in spirit refinement are not bad. I can study that demonic lotus under the seal. Valley Master and Seniors, you can test me first."
The three Sect Masters looked at each other. They did not know where Jiang Li's confidence came from.
He actually wanted to compete with them in terms of spirit refinement cultivation.
One had to know that they were Soul Formation cultivators who had already cultivated a true Essence Soul. No matter how strong the souls and minds of ordinary cultivators were, how could they compare to them?
Furthermore, how long had Jiang Li cultivated for? Even a super genius could not reach this level.
However, they had the intention to test Jiang Li.
Daoist Wushe did not refuse and instead released a portion of his Essence Soul pressure towards Jiang Li.
As the Valley Master of the Scripture Storage Valley, he naturally could not let others test his disciples.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
The hair on Jiang Li's forehead swayed slightly, but his expression did not change at all.
"Kid, I've really underestimated you."
"Next, I have to be serious. If you can't withstand it, don't force yourself and get injured."
Daoist Wushe praised Jiang Li, and then the Essence Soul pressure started to rise bit by bit.
10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%!
Daoist Wushe: ???
Shenshan Jianyi: Did you use any strength??
Abbot Le Ku: Your acting is really good.
Then, the two of them joined in.
The pressure from three top-notch Soul Formation cultivators of the Great Mountain Region surged towards Jiang Li like a torrent.
The ground behind Jiang Li creaked, and the hard stone slab turned into powder inch by inch. A large number of cracks appeared on the door of the secret room behind him as if it had suffered a huge impact, and then it shattered into pieces on the ground.
The Essence Soul pressure continued to spread backwards. Under an invisible fluctuation, a large number of unlucky sword cultivators fainted on the ground without any warning.
Even the Nascent Soul sword cultivators felt dizzy. They hurriedly activated their Sword Heart to resist before quickly retreating with the other disciples.
Fifteen minutes later, this invisible pressure quietly disappeared.
As for the three Sect Masters of the three major sects, their expressions carried shock that could not be concealed.
Under the pressure of the three of them combined, Jiang Li's hair was actually only blown into a pigtail. He did not react at all.
What sort of spirit refinement cultivation was this?
They had always known that Jiang Li's body cultivation was very strong, and his Qi Refinement cultivation was also at the level of a monster. However, they did not expect that Jiang Li's greatest strength was actually the spirit refinement aspect!
The three of them exchanged glances repeatedly and sized Jiang Li up.
Could this guy really be the reincarnation of an ancient Immortal or Buddha? It was said that there had been such a precedent in the Eastern Region.
Jiang Li's exaggerated growth was simply not inferior to that rumor at all.
In the end, he successfully passed the test of the three Sect Masters.
In fact, with his cultivation level, it was quite difficult for him to resist this level of pressure.
However, he had dragon blood and the Human Emperor's Blood Qi. This was basically cheating. What pressure could intimidate the Human Emperor?
Facing the pressure of the three of them, he actually did not feel anything intense. His heart beat a little faster, and he ignored this pressure all together.
After obtaining the sealed demonic lotus and the ancient books that had once been stored in the Scripture Storage Valley, Jiang Li did not stay in the sect for long. He handed two top-grade ores to the Weapon Refinement Masters of the Great Mountain Region to refine the coffin nails before leaving on his own and starting another long journey.
...
In the Asura World's Blood Fighting Arena, in the underground blood pool.
The yaksha clone was lying lazily on the thigh of a beautiful succubus, enjoying the precious spiritual fruit and blood grape that the other party had delivered to his mouth.
After opening the passageway between the two worlds, because the Divine Statue clone was only willing to communicate with the yaksha clone, his status here was unshakable.
Under the influence of the Evil Eye High Priest, the yaksha clone could be considered to have lived a happy life without shame.
Even the main body was not as comfortable as him.
After consuming a blood grape, the blood of madness in his body strengthened. This feeling of becoming stronger while lying down was something that even his main body was envious of.
At this moment, a mental power pulled him up from the succubus. It turned out that the High Priest in charge of the blood pool had arrived.
"Fallen Blood, I hope you can give me good news today."
After Jiang Li used True Several Thousand Hands, the Evil Eye High Priest could not wait to further control the human opposite him.
If he did not send a few Asuras over, he would feel uneasy.
However, because he had to deal with the Blood Saber Guards of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, Jiang Li did not have the time to care about this side and found an opportunity to refuse several times.
This made the High Priest appear very dissatisfied.
How could a group of mortals reject his request?
In the past few days, this Great Evil Eye had come to ask him every day, giving Jiang Li quite a bit of pressure.
Fortunately, today, the yaksha clone finally brought him good news.
"Lord High Priest, some time ago, some Qi Refinement cultivators from the Lamb World attacked the city where the statue is."
"In order to protect the statue, the City Lord opposite hid it and did not dare to communicate too much."
"Those Qi Refinement cultivators slaughtered the citizens in their city and even snatched away their treasure homeland. Now, they are eager to obtain the protection of the Great Asura, Lord Vemacitrin. They are willing to welcome us at any time." The yaksha clone said.
The High Priest came to a realization when he heard this. Although the mortal city opposite was easy to control, it did not have the ability to protect itself. If he was too anxious, it would be very easy for the cultivators of the human world to discover him. At that time, if all his efforts were for naught, the gains would not make up for the losses.
"Attacked? Good, good. Hatred and despair will make the humans' faith in us unshakable."
"Tell them that as long as we're here, no one can hurt them anymore."
"Immediately prepare some gifts for our guide!"
