Chapter 455: Chapter 324: Entering the Secret Realm, Ancient Mirror Observes!
Upon seeing this ghostly apparition, the old Daoist was not even slightly flustered; instead, he calmly explained the origins of the Dharma Seal.
From his seven apertures, a faint cyan light flowed out, transforming into a virtual image of an exotic beast with a jackal body and dragon head, about a foot in size.
The exotic beast opened its mouth and swallowed, generating a huge suction in its stomach, drawing the ghostly apparition uncontrollably into the belly of the cyan snake.
Not only that, after swallowing the ghostly apparition, the spiritual nature in the beast’s eyes advanced further. With a flick of its tail, it suddenly disappeared into the void, and when it reappeared, it was miles away in another void.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream echoed, followed by the exotic beast swimming its tail, holding a blurred soul, heading towards the old Daoist.
"Grudge Soul-Devouring Seal?!"
Seeing this, the bearded man’s face slightly changed, and he couldn’t help but shout.
The Grudge Soul-Devouring Seal, a soul dao type of secret seal, is refined using Flood Dragon’s Blood and Jackal Wolf Soul combined with various secret techniques.
Once this seal is cultivated, a Vengeful Beast Soul can be nurtured within the sea of consciousness. All soul dao techniques coming to attack will be devoured by the Vengeful Beast Soul. Moreover, vengeance is inevitable; after devouring the opponent’s soul dao techniques, the beast soul will ascertain the enemy’s location and then traverse the void to bring back the opponent’s soul.
It is a soul dao seal of immense power.
"Haha, it’s merely a small protective technique, not comparable to the means of all of you!"
The old Daoist grinned broadly, waving his hand as if he didn’t care.
Yet, this display of skill intimidated the void around; those gazes that hadn’t yet departed were eager but dared not act rashly.
The Gua Daoist remained unobtrusive and inconspicuous, but his strength was not to be underestimated, presumably having long calculated everything.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the summit of East Qiao Mountain suddenly erupted into a fierce gale. The world seemed to be descending, wind, thunder, rain, and lightning stirred without rest, and a vague portal quietly emerged.
The time for the opening of the secret realm was drawing closer and closer.
"Stand side by side, Zhongli Quan is the weakest, there’s still a chance!"
Seeing this, the void around became restless and uneasy, but eventually, someone couldn’t help but shout.
In the next moment, a soul power flying sword, a crescent-shaped flying saber, and a gray mysterious pearl came relentlessly from three directions, attacking the bearded man.
Miles away, several figures were watching the situation intently.
Some cherished their lives, while others were unwilling to give up, determined to make a move.
"Audacious!"
The bearded man didn’t expect that even at this point, someone dared to test him.
Anger surged within him as his mana rolled, and suddenly, behind him emerged a flame dharma aspect, and everything that was not "fire" between heaven and earth was incinerated by the invisible high temperature.
The soul power flying sword shuddered incessantly, but within moments transformed into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated from the world.
However, the crescent-shaped flying saber and gray mysterious pearl, imbued with surging mana, resiliently resisted the scorching high temperature and continued their assault.
"Break for me!"
Upon seeing this, the bearded man was shocked and furious, stomped his foot, and utilizing some secret technique, his mana, already at the peak of middle stage Golden Core, surged again, the dharma aspect behind him towering a hundred feet high.
The terrifying high temperature distorted the void, extremely scorching.
The crescent flying saber and gray mysterious pearl instantly became unbearable, seemingly about to melt.
Seeing this, two shadows appeared in the void, quickly withdrawing their artifacts.
"Hmph!"
The bearded man snorted coldly upon seeing this.
But having delivered this blow, the bearded man was also not well off; his aura was slightly unstable, clearly indicating that the sudden surge in mana wasn’t without cost.
The Thunder Flood Dragon immediately squinted its eyes and looked at the bearded man.
The bearded man was instantly shocked in his heart and raised his guard.
"Everyone, everyone, listen to an old Daoist’s advice!"
Seeing this, the old Daoist hurriedly spoke: "This time, the secret realm involves significant matters; it must be six top individuals joining forces to have a chance to open the great treasure."
"Otherwise, you’ll surely return empty-handed like the previous times!"
"According to this old Daoist’s words, why don’t we enter the secret realm first and then make plans?"
The old Daoist continued speaking while taking out five jade scrolls, handing them to several individuals.
"This is a map drawn by those who entered Spirit Treasure Cliff in the previous times, plus some intelligence gathered by this old Daoist. Take a look, and you’ll understand the situation within."
"Solo adventures might find it hard to return with treasure."
The jade scroll emitted spiritual light, engraved with a map and numerous pieces of information inside. Gu Yuan scanned it with his divine thought, instantly comprehending everything.
"Let’s follow the Daoist’s words; upon entering the secret realm, let each seek their fortune!"
Having received the jade scroll, Songg Yuyang was the first to speak and then took out a token from his bosom, casting it into the void.
"Haha, I surely trust the divination techniques of Gua Daoist!"
Someone spoke up, and the Thunder Flood Dragon immediately chimed in, taking out the Golden Core Cultivator with five senses obscured from the Qiankun bag, manipulating them to cast a token into the sky.
The white-haired youth said nothing, merely nodded to the tier two female demon, who promptly tossed a token into the sky.
Gu Yuan didn’t hesitate much; he merely shook his sleeves, and the Golden Frog inhabited by the Heart-devouring Insect fell onto his shoulder, spitting out a token.
Upon seeing this, everyone’s gaze turned, unable to help but glance at Gu Yuan.
The Golden Frog Token Master of mid-stage Great Demon has actually been tamed as a demon pet.
This Sword Cultivator is indeed not to be underestimated.
"Boom!"
With the six tokens simultaneously cast into the void, the initially vague portal in the sky instantly cleared up, and the enormous cliff shadow seemed close at hand.
"Swoosh!"
Subsequently, a gigantic suction appeared from within the portal, stirring Gu Yuan’s heart, yet he didn’t resist, instead, soaring directly into the sky along with this suction.
