Green Lotus Divine Restriction
A month later, in a certain azure sea, a Golden Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon. It flashed and stopped, the Escape Light receding to reveal a shimmering golden flying boat.
Shen Long, True Monarch Golden Crow, and Xu Mo stood on the Golden Flying Boat, each with a different expression.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Qin, after going around in circles for so long, you still don't trust me?"
Shen Long frowned and said.
After leaving Star-Moon Marketplace, Xu Mo and True Monarch Golden Crow took Shen Long on a roundabout route to prevent anyone from following them. Shen Long's master was the son-in-law of the Han family, so Xu Mo and True Monarch Golden Crow dared not be careless.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, rest assured, we have arrived."
Xu Mo said, and with a hand seal, the Golden Flying Boat flew towards a Desolate Island that was over a hundred miles in size.
Shen Long opened his Divine Sense and carefully scanned the Desolate Island, but found nothing unusual.
The Golden Flying Boat landed in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. The valley was overgrown with weeds, and at the end of the valley was a cave about ten feet in size.
Shen Long and the other two disembarked from the Golden Flying Boat. Xu Mo put the Golden Flying Boat away, and the three of them headed towards the cave.
After walking about a hundred steps, a cave about an acre in size appeared before them.
The stone wall was uneven, and some gravel was scattered on the ground.
Shen Long's Divine Sense quickly swept across the cave, his gaze landing on the lower left corner. He detected some faint fluctuations, which he wouldn't have noticed if his Divine Sense hadn't been exceptionally strong.
Xu Mo took out a command flag that shimmered with yellow light, and with a gentle wave, a yellow glow swept out, heading straight for the lower left corner of the cave.
A flash of yellow light appeared, and Teleportation Array about ten feet in size came into view.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you can reach your destination by teleporting from here."
After saying this, Xu Mo walked onto the Teleportation Array, with True Monarch Golden Crow following closely behind.
Shen Long frowned, cast a defensive spell on himself, and stepped forward.
Xu Mo cast a spell, and the Teleportation Array shook slightly. A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, engulfing the three of them.
After a slight dizziness, Shen Long found himself in a simple Stone Chamber about a hundred feet in size, with a faint yellow light emanating from the stone walls.
Xu Mo raised his right hand, and a golden blade of light shot out, striking the Teleportation Array beneath his feet Teleportation Array in two.
With a flick of his sleeve, a command flag gleaming with yellow light flew out and disappeared into a stone wall.
A dazzling yellow light shone from the stone wall, revealing a hole about ten feet in size. Xu Mo strode out, with True Monarch Golden Crow following closely behind.
Shen Long opened his divine sense wide but found nothing unusual. He released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada to investigate but found nothing unusual either. He then recalled the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada and walked out.
Upon exiting the cave, Shen Long discovered they were atop a high peak, overlooking a Desolate Island spanning hundreds of miles, covered in lush vegetation.
"The entrance is at the bottom of the sea, Fellow Daoist Shen, let's go there together!"
Xu Mo said, offering up a Blue Round Bead the size of a pigeon egg, and casting a spell on it. The Blue Round Bead emitted a dazzling blue light, transforming into a thick Blue Water Screen that enveloped the three of them.
The three of them flew towards the sea. The Blue Water Screen touched the seawater, and the seawater parted to make way for them.
The Blue Water Screen carried them swiftly across the seabed. Along the way, they encountered some Third-Rank Spirit Beast, who were no match for them at all.
A short while later, they came to rest above a flat stretch of seabed.
Xu Mo made a hand seal, and the Blue Water Screen rapidly expanded, covering a large area of the seabed.
True Monarch Golden Crow took out a shimmering yellow Formation Disk, cast a spell, and the seabed lit up with a soft yellow light, revealing a blue light screen with a Cyan Lotus pattern on its surface.
"Green Lotus Divine Restriction!"
Shen Long recognized the origin of this restriction.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, let's break the seal!"
After Xu Mo finished speaking, a dazzling golden light shone from between his brows, and a Golden Flying Knife about a foot long shot out, slashing towards the Cyan Light Screen.
True Monarch Golden Crow took out a Talisman that shimmered with golden light, slapped it onto his body, and a golden True Monarch Golden Crow enveloped his entire body.
The Spirit-Expanding Talisman rapidly enhances a cultivator's Divine Sense in the short term, but leaves them vulnerable for a period afterward.
After a dazzling golden light emanated from the center of the True Monarch Golden Crow's brow, a Golden Flying Sword about a foot long shot out, heading straight for the Cyan Light Screen.
A beam of red light shot out from between Shen Long's eyebrows, transforming into a Red Flying Knife about a foot long. It struck the Cyan Light Screen Cyan Light Screen, causing ripples to spread across its surface and the spiritual light to dim slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, there's no need for you to hold back. I know you're holding back. It's better to break the restriction as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Xu Mo's voice was heavy.
Shen Long nodded, and a bright red light suddenly shone from between his brows. A Red Flying Knife about two feet long shot out and struck the Cyan Light Screen, causing the light on the Cyan Light Screen to dim even more.
True Monarch Golden Crow and Xu Mo unleashed their full Divine Sense to attack the Cyan Light Screen.
The Cyan Lotus pattern on the surface of the Cyan Light Screen shattered, the seabed shook violently, and a huge blue light shot into the sky, reaching straight into the clouds.
The blue light dissipated, and the Cyan Light Screen disappeared, replaced by a light blue water curtain.
True Monarch Golden Crow released a Crimson Fire Crow at the early Third Rank. The Crimson Fire Crow flapped its wings and easily passed through the Blue Water Screen.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, how is it?"
Xu Mo asked.
"As expected of the ruins of a major sect, the Spiritual Qi is exceptionally abundant."
"True Monarch Golden Crow said excitedly."
"Someone is coming; they are Nascent Soul Cultivator, there are seven of them."
Shen Long frowned and said.
"What are their cultivation levels? Are there any Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators among them?"
"The True Monarch Golden Crow asked."
"No, but there are four Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators flying towards us. They were probably attracted by the sound of the barrier being broken. Let's go in quickly!"
Shen Long suggested.
Xu Mo nodded, and the three of them each cast a defensive spell on themselves before flying towards the Blue Water Screen.
Their bodies passed effortlessly through the Blue Water Screen and disappeared.
A black Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards Shen Long and the others.
Not long after, the black Escape Light stopped, revealing a flying boat with constantly flowing black light. Five men and two women stood on it, with Zhao Xueying at the head.
"We were still too late; they had already broken the barrier."
Qin Biao frowned and said.
He fought fiercely with Wu Dong and Wu west over the fourth-tier Lightning-Attracting Pearl, killing them in the process. He also searched their nascent souls and learned that they were on a treasure hunt.
Knowing he was no match for True Monarch Golden Crow and Xu Mo, Qin Biao reported to the Heaven Ghost Sect. The Heaven Ghost Sect's vice sect leader, Zhao Xueying, personally led the team. Before they even reached their destination, the enemy had broken the restriction.
"They just broke the seal; the good stuff is still inside."
Zhao Xueying said nonchalantly.
"Should we set up a large formation to block the entrance? Or wait for them to come to us?"
Jiang Yan suggested.
"What if there's another exit? Wouldn't we just sit back and watch the treasure be taken, and then go in together to search for it?"
Zhao Xueying gave the instructions.
Qin Biao nodded, summoned a command flag that shimmered with blue light, circled them once, and then transformed into a thick Blue Water Screen that enveloped the seven of them before flying towards the seabed.
The seawater touched the Blue Water Screen and receded.
Before long, they discovered the entrance.
Qin Biao released several Golden Honeybee, which flew into the Blue Water Screen without any apparent abnormality.
"Madam Zhao, you are a woman of great experience and knowledge. Do you know where this place is?"
Qin Biao asked curiously.
"I don't know. Many major sects and cultivation Lineage have appeared in the North Sea Cultivation World. Perhaps it's the ruins left behind by a powerful force, or it could be a backup plan of the Five Dragons Sect."
Zhao Xueying said.
"The Five Dragons Sect's backup plan? Does the Five Dragons Sect have such a strong foundation?"
Qin Biao asked in surprise.
"What's so strange about that? The Five Dragons Sect had Spirit Transformation cultivators during its heyday, it's just declined. Enough said, let's go in!"
Zhao Xueying urged, and with a quick hand seal, the Black Flying Boat soared into the Blue Water Screen.
