Chapter 451: Chapter 323: Imperial Decree Seal, Sword Light Like the Heavens!
"Sure is lively..."
On this Treasure Boat, naturally, it was carrying Gu Yuan and the various demons from Cloud-Burning Island.
This was an event of great importance, inevitably accompanied by fierce struggles, so Gu Yuan brought along the Sloppy Daoist and the Old Turtle.
One person and one demon, they possessed a bit of strength to bolster their momentum.
Indeed, as Gu Yuan’s Treasure Boat entered, although Divine Thoughts surged from East Qiao Mountain and various gazes inspected them, intimidated by his might, for a moment, no one dared to trouble him.
And with his Divine Thought surging, Gu Yuan looked far around and saw many presences, some residing at the mountain’s peak, others hiding in the waves, some concealed within the void.
The lowest cultivation was at least Mid-Stage Great Demon or Mid-Stage Golden Core realm.
Roughly counting, there were no less than fifteen.
Not to mention there were some early-stage Great Demons and Early Stage Golden Core cultivators watching from afar.
Gatherings on all sides, not mere rumor.
"This Fellow Daoist seems unfamiliar. From where do you come? May I see your token?"
After a slight silence, atop the cliff of East Qiao Mountain, a youth in a crane cloak suddenly cupped his hands and asked the white-haired youth.
The youth was alone, with only one or two Tier Two little demons, making him a more suitable target for probing compared to Gu Yuan.
But the white-haired youth paid no heed, merely casting a cold glance at the crane-cloaked youth before stepping onto the waves towards East Qiao Mountain.
Behind him, the female demon followed step by step, seemingly afraid of straying too far from the youth.
"Since that’s the case, then don’t blame Tangg Sui for showing no mercy!"
Seeing this, the crane-cloaked youth was slightly angered. He flipped his palm, revealing a cyan treasure register in his hand.
The treasure register emitted layers of Spiritual Light, with patterns of Dharma Seals vividly engraved, numbering no less than fifty upon rough count.
"Master, this person is named Tangg Sui, a Loose Cultivator well-known around Cloud Dream Marsh. A young fortuitous encounter, he has cultivated from a mere scholar to today for over seven hundred years."
"The treasure register in his hand is called the ’Nourishing Seal and Spirit Elevation Register,’ a peculiar high-grade Artifact. His cultivated Dharma Seals are not nurtured in the Dantian but within this register, amplifying their power beyond similar Dharma Seals."
"With many techniques, he has roamed the Marsh for nearly two hundred years, always smooth sailing!"
As soon as the crane-cloaked youth’s treasure register appeared, the Sloppy Daoist’s voice transmission echoed in Gu Yuan’s ear, introducing renowned figures from the Marsh.
As for that white-haired youth, he seemed completely unfamiliar; even the Sloppy Daoist had never seen him before.
The cliff fell silent, and everyone tacitly allowed Tangg Sui to make the first move, and Tangg Sui did not hold back. Pointing with a finger, the treasure register promptly rustled, revealing a page with a three-foot flying saber illustration.
"Slash!"
With a surge of Mana, Tangg Sui’s three-foot flying saber instantly materialized, carrying a torrent of Spiritual Qi; in a flash, it directly cleaved towards the white-haired youth.
This sequence appeared slow in narration but occurred within an instant.
Tangg Sui lifted his hand, and the three-foot flying saber shot through the air like a bolt of lightning, swiftly approaching.
Yet the white-haired youth made no evasive movement, merely reaching into the void with a catching gesture.
"Clang!"
It was as if catching lightning with bare hands.
Suddenly, the air settled, and the trajectory of the three-foot flying saber inexplicably halted, causing a visually jarring sensation.
"Boom!"
Then the white-haired youth clenched his hand, a sound of bursting resonating from his palm.
Simultaneously, in the Nourishing Seal and Spirit Elevation Register, the flying saber’s Dharma Seal pattern instantly vanished, as if it never existed.
"How is this possible?!"
Tangg Sui looked up, exclaiming in shock.
He had engaged in countless battles and faced formidable adversaries before; seals failing was a common occurrence.
But even if a seal couldn’t take effect, he could just switch to another seal to continue fighting, reclaiming the failed seal back into the register for nourishment.
But now, with the pattern vanished, it meant the seal had completely shattered and disappeared from existence.
How could this be?
Apart from the Sword Seal, all other seals manifested techniques activated by Mana fueling Dao Seals, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to form spells to harm enemies, like a bow and arrow.
If the arrow is snapped, would the bow be destroyed?
"Go!"
Tangg Sui, disbelieving and slightly manic, pointed again at the Nourishing Seal and Spirit Elevation Register.
The cyan jade-like treasure register rustled until it stopped at a page with a black-light small arrow illustration.
A black-light small arrow, flickering with dim Soul Light, suddenly flew from the register, attacking the white-haired youth once again.
"Boom!"
Yet the white-haired youth’s reaction mirrored the last.
With a lift of his hand, he caught the arrow barehanded.
Even an arrow composed of intangible Soul Light was grasped in his palm.
Then he squeezed forcefully, an invisible cloud of soul mist dispersing.
In the Nourishing Seal and Spirit Elevation Register, the black-light small arrow illustration disappeared again.
This time, Tangg Sui was not only astonished but also somewhat panicked, his face turning pale, a trail of blood flowing from his nose.
Though his Dharma Seals were nurtured in the Nourishing Seal and Spirit Elevation Register, they were all personally crafted by him, connected to his Heart and Spirit. The black-light small arrow was a Soul Arrow, intricately linked to his Divine Soul, and its sudden destruction immediately damaged his Divine Soul, affecting his physical form.
After two tests, the strength of the white-haired youth caught everyone’s attention.
For a moment, the cliff fell silent again, utterly quiet.
Yet the white-haired youth remained unchanged in expression, continuing to lead the Earth Demon Realm female demon step by step towards East Qiao Mountain.
