Five Elements Daoist Arena; Each Uses Their Own Methods
Red Sea Bay, located in the Outer Sea waters of the Falling Cloud Archipelago, is bathed in the blazing sun.
On the sea, however, there are many reddish spots lying between the two isolated islands.
These reddish algae are called red algae, which belong to a First-Tier Superior-Grade spiritual algae and are not uncommon in the Red Sea Bay area.
Where this kind of spiritual algae grows, red algae fog is likely to appear. This is a poisonous fog, and many monster hunters avoid it at all costs.
Because this red algae mist erodes spiritual light, cultivators are not afraid of this poison as long as their Spiritual Qi is sufficient.
But low-level Demon Beast are afraid.
With the departure of the low-level spirit fish, the high-level Spirit Beasts also disappeared, resulting in very few cultivators coming to this sea area.
After all, the dangers in the seas are the same, but the rewards are far less than in other Outer Seas.
Moreover, red algae cannot be used in medicine or alchemy, nor can it be used to raise spirit fish; even when used as a spirit poison, it has little effect.
It is completely useless.
At that moment, two spirit shuttles broke through the sea from afar and stopped in front of the red spirit algae.
"The Five Elements True Lord's palace is located here. No wonder no one has discovered it for so many years!" Qing Kongying was the first to step out of the spirit shuttle, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
This kind of location undoubtedly increases the feasibility of the Spirit Palace, since it would be too easy to be discovered if it were a more common sea area.
They need to consider whether this is a trap set by some Evil Cultivator.
Don't think that the traps set by Evil Cultivators aren't so real. The Evil Cultivators in the Azure Cloud Sea Region can be far more ruthless than the cultivators in the inland countries.
They not only want to sell Spirit Diagram and reap huge profits from Spirit Stones, but also want to establish blood arrays within the secret realm to slaughter cultivators.
Even after death, they will be refined into demon banners and monsters.
After finishing his reflection, Qing Kongying looked towards the Spirit Boat where Ye Haifei was.
"Such beings are indeed beyond the comprehension of us cultivators!" Ye Haifei appeared quite calm.
"Let's wait. According to the instructions of the Spirit Diagram, the entrance to the Five Elements Spirit Palace will only appear after the red algae mist dissipates!" Ye Haifei then added, before re-entering the spirit shuttle.
The shuttle quickly transformed into a red glow and disappeared into the sea.
Before entering the Five Elements True Lord's spiritual palace, Ye Haifei clearly didn't want to say another word.
Seeing that Ye Haifei didn't pay much attention to her, Qing Kongying's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
However, this subtle expression was extremely well hidden.
Then Qing Kongying took another person and went up to the island, where they set up a Concealment Array.
It also disappeared quickly.
The red algae fog at sea is like a magical flower; after blooming for several days, it begins to appear as a red mist.
Initially, the fog was scattered in small patches.
But soon, just like smoke rising from the sea, it quickly gathered into large swaths of red clouds, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Some of the spirit fish that were swimming around here immediately floated to the surface, revealing their large white bellies.
And it was slowly rotting, as if its Blood Qi had been drained by these red algae.
As a red, poisonous fog enveloped the two islands.
The wind at sea seemed to have subsided somewhat.
The two spirit shuttles reappeared, and on the sea, between the two islands and the red mist, a strange purplish-red halo appeared.
The red mist continued to erode the spiritual light of the shuttle. Although the process was slow, it was like ice and snow melting away, and it was indeed constantly eroding it.
However, none of them paid attention to the spiritual barrier at the moment, nor did they care about the red algae mist.
Instead, they stared at the halo of light, momentarily stunned!
"This is a natural trapping formation!" Ye Haifei stepped out of the spirit shuttle and saw the light spot, feeling that it was infinitely wonderful.
I'm actually a little confused about what level of Array this is.
He was a second-tier high-grade Array, and he considered himself to be able to roughly understand some third-tier Arrays.
But the Array before him made him feel as if there was no Array at all.
If it weren't for the point of light in front of him, the reminder from the Spirit Diagram, and the fact that he had been observing for so long, he would never have noticed it at all.
Moreover, some traces only appeared when the red mist appeared.
"So, the true Array set up by the Five Elements True Lord was only to bind these red spirit algae and block the entrance!" Ye Haifei murmured.
"Fellow Daoist, take out your Spirit Diagram as well!" Qing Kongying stepped out from afar.
His eyes shimmered with a magical pupil technique, clearly a divine eye.
This magic eye can see through this Array; it's beyond what human strength can break.
Even if they knew there was Array set up by Nascent Soul, they couldn't enter.
Only a treasure map can be used as a key to enter!
Ye Haifei nodded, but didn't say anything more at this point.
All four of them were quite anxious.
He then threw the two Spirit Diagram directly at the point of light.
At the same time, Qing Kongying also threw out the Spirit Diagram.
The Spirit Diagram converged in the air, radiating a dazzling array of five-colored spiritual light.
This spiritual light pierced through the Spirit Diagram, drawing a portal about the height of a person in the distance.
The portal shone with a spiritual light, revealing a small world that existed within it.
Unlike secret realms, small worlds have no restrictions on cultivation levels, their rules are more complete, and their safety is greatly enhanced.
Of course, the downside is that, like the secret realm, it is fixed in one place. Even powerful deities have never heard of refining a small world into Grotto-Heaven.
The four of them instantly surged into the spiritual light.
Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu both released their Law Artifacts, making their entire bodies appear magnificent.
Qing Kongying did the same thing, but the cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe behind him was giving Qing Kongying a meaningful look.
Qing Kongying shook his head.
The four of them quickly entered the small world, only to find that it was not very large, about the size of a slightly larger island.
The whole world seemed remarkably intact, with towering forests, picturesque lakes, hills, and snow-capped peaks in the distance...
At the very center stood a five-story, five-colored palace.
The palace is further divided into the front palace, the rear palace, and even the side halls and the main hall!
In front of the palaces stood a mountain gate, and the name of the gate hall was Five Elements Dojo!
Everyone's hearts pounded with excitement. Only when the Purple Mansion opens its palace and the Golden Core establishes its structure can True Lord open a Daoist temple!
This signifies that this is the place of practice for the Five Elements True Lords.
There is an extremely high possibility that it contains the Five Elements True Lord's Cultivation Method!
This thrilled them all.
Most Rogue Cultivators are different from those from Lineage or even sects. The inheritance they receive is also by fortuitous opportunity. When they are young, they have endless aspirations for the Great Dao and naturally do not have any intention of leaving behind any inheritance.
Only when one grows old and has no hope of achieving the Great Dao will one leave behind one or two inheritances, setting up treasure maps or special inheritance catalysts.
Waiting for the right person to revive and pass on this legacy.
And all of these points align with the idea of preserving and passing on traditions.
Just then, Ye Haifei leaped up first and put away the two treasure maps.
Qing Kongying gave Ye Haifei a meaningful look before putting away the remaining treasure maps.
"Since you're going to take 60%, then you should break as many formations as possible!"
"Does Master Qing mean he's going to turn against us?" Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu took two steps back.
They took out their Law Artifact to deal with the situation.
The Law Artifact Ye Haifei took out had already transformed into an array plate, while Ye Xingyu also took out Dao Flame tower.
A brief, unusual silence fell, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
"It's just a matter of breaking the formation, why talk about turning against each other?" Qing Kongying's expression suddenly softened as she smiled.
"I've heard that you are quite skilled in Array formations, fellow Daoist."
Of course, he was already cursing under his breath. He had planned to make a move long ago, but now the treasure map had fallen into Ye Haifei's hands.
What he's afraid of now is that Ye Haifei will swallow the Five Elements Spirit Map.
Even though I haven't received the inheritance yet, the Spirit Diagram might still be useful.
"Then you should be the one to break the formation. As the head of the Azure Spirit Commerce Association, you have a wealth of experience. Such a small formation is a piece of cake for you. Moreover, there is only one Spirit Diagram. The inheritance is divided equally, and the treasures are split 40/60. You are the one who has the advantage!" Ye Haifei argued.
Ye Haifei wasn't in a hurry. After all, he hadn't seen the True Lord's inheritance yet, so it would be better to let Qing Kongying try out the Array.
Before Qing Kongying could even react, the cultivator behind him took two steps forward, but Qing Kongying blocked his attack with a single hand.
"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist. Then we shall follow your opinion!" Qing Kongying nodded.
The four people, about ten feet apart, headed together toward the Five Elements Dojo.
As for the jungle lake, none of them even glanced at it.
Even if such places contain treasures, they are merely spirit medicine, which are naturally inferior to Law Treasure and inheritances.
The four of them quickly arrived at the mountain gate.
And this first hurdle is that enormous mountain gate.
The words "Five Elements Dojo" seemed like the words of the Heavenly Dao, echoing in everyone's minds.
The sound was like a thunderclap, extremely shocking.
"Don't look directly at those four words!" Qing Kongying said.
The other three also immediately moved away.
"It is said that the Five Elements True Lord cultivated both alchemy and formations, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved!" After Qing Kongying finished speaking, he bowed towards the mountain gate.
The person behind him then followed.
Upon seeing this, Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu exchanged a glance, and then bowed in greeting as well.
Many traditional cave abode would refuse or kill any disrespectful cultivators, especially cave abode with strong subjective opinions. In everyone's eyes, this was the case at this moment.
Moreover, even without that, for the four of them, bowing and paying respects to a True Lord wouldn't lower their status.
Then, the Qing Kongying walked directly towards the mountain gate.
Soon they passed through the mountain gate, stepped onto the stone street, and headed towards the front palace.
"Follow me!" Ye Haifei said cautiously.
They didn't act immediately; according to their perception, this Qing Kongying seemed to truly know quite a bit.
No one needs to rush before receiving the inheritance.
The four entered the front palace one after the other, which resembled a normal hall for welcoming guests.
There were no magical Law Treasures inside the hall, which made the group's expressions darken.
If you come here empty-handed without any Law Treasures, then the whole trip would be a huge joke.
The four of them then walked inside again.
Upon discovering there was no treasure, the group did not separate, seemingly all worried that the other party had hidden it.
"It's normal for Rogue Cultivators to have fewer treasures!" Qing Kongying explained.
After passing the front palace, there is a large stone courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, a huge Three-Legged Heavenly Ox Azure-Red Furnace seeming to roar towards the sky.
The sandalwood incense inside had long since disappeared, leaving only a pile of ash, carrying a musty smell.
"A top-grade, third-tier Pill Furnace!" Everyone immediately felt that the treasure was extremely real.
At that moment, Qing Kongying glanced at it, a blue light flashing in her eyes.
Then he spoke solemnly:
"That was just the guest hall, reserved for outsiders, so there were no treasures there. What follows is the true inheritance of the True Lord. However, a treasure map is needed to break the formation. Without the treasure map, whoever tries to break through will become ashes in the Pill Furnace!" After Qing Kongying finished speaking, he threw out a wooden puppet.
This wooden puppet was only at the late stage of the first tier. As soon as it entered, a terrifying flame ignited inside the Pill Furnace, engulfing the wooden puppet completely.
Ye Haifei glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, then swiped his hand across the Spirit Beast bracelet and pressed it onto the storage bracelet.
Then, two Spirit Diagrams were taken out.
It shot towards the Pill Furnace ahead.
The Qing Kongying also shot out the Five Elements Spirit Map.
But at the very moment he shot in, his aura shifted, and in the next instant, his cultivation erupted, displaying the power of the Purple Mansion cultivator.
The cultivator behind him suddenly unleashed his full power, and five flying swords shot towards Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu.
The flying sword was so fast that it struck the two of them almost as soon as the Spirit Diagrams merged.
But the Qing Kongying showed no joy.
The spot where the flying sword passed through transformed into two Spirit Talisman.
"Tribulation-Substitution Talisman!"
Qing Kongying's azure eyes released beams of azure light as he swept his gaze to the side, finally spotting Ye Haifei and Xingyu, who had been hiding, once again.
However, the other party had already taken out a white-haired tortoise, and when the tortoise spat out its mouth, three figures appeared.
"You really are from the Purplewood Sect!" Qing Kongying suddenly spoke.
"Three Purple Mansions, do you know the backing of the Azure Spirit Commerce Association?" Qing Kongying was in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, while he transformed into Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, all in order to better seek the inheritance of the Five Elements True Lord.
Unexpectedly, the Purplewood Sect had concealed so much.
It has three Purple Mansion.
And looking at this tortoise, he felt like he'd heard of it somewhere before.
"We've heard of the Azure Spirit Commerce Association's investigative capabilities, but if they can still investigate us after we've entered the Five Elements True Lord's mountain gate, then our Purplewood Sect Azure Spirit Commerce Association admit defeat!" Ye Xuefan said, and began to release array flags.
Once these array flags are released, they become late-stage Tier 3 Arrays.
This caused Qing Kongying's eyes to immediately show a look of fear.
They were about to flee down the mountain gate together with the person behind him.
As Body Cultivator, Ye Haicheng was the first to follow, like an arrow released from a bow, instantly giving chase.
However, at that moment, a sinister glint appeared in the Qing Kongying, and it threw out a large yellow bell, which directly enveloped Ye Haicheng.
At the same time, he took out a mid-stage third-tier puppet.
This puppet was no different from an ordinary person, except that its pupils lacked any divine charm, but its aura was undoubtedly that of a mid-stage Purple Mansion, and it charged towards Ye Jingcheng.
Finally, he took out a Spirit Beast pouch, from which flew out a Purple Moon Flame Fox.
This spirit fox was exceptionally slender, and its pupils were eerie Purple Moon Eyes!
The Purple Moon Eyes stared straight at Ye Xuefan.
It also instantly terminated Ye Xuefan's Array and seemed to trap the latter in an illusion.
Seeing this, Qing Kongying couldn't help but sneer, and in an instant, her robes flashed as she reached for Ye Jingcheng's neck.
Surprisingly, they intend to start the fight from the early stages of the Purple Mansion!
Even if these minor sects have three Purple Mansions, what do he have to fear?
