Chapter 367: Finally Arrived
Layer upon layer of golden light spread out like ripples, instantly engulfing the entire mountain range within the Ancient Secret Palace area.
The shadowy figure watched as the array patterns instantly lit up, filling the enormous room.
Nodding with satisfaction.
Very well, the Heavenly Array has been activated, and its range isn't too far; at most, it only completely surrounds the Primordial Secret Palace and the surrounding mountain range. Moreover, the effect of the "Heavenly Forbidden Zone" is not just that simple, because it envelops "everything," so...
The pervasive mist of immortality in the Lost City will also lose its effectiveness.
He essentially disrupted the first test set by the Immortal Lords in order to stop that fake immortal from continuing to wreak havoc on the Ancient Secret Palace. Once the effect of the Immortal Sinking Mist disappeared, it would be no different from ordinary fog. Perhaps before it lost its effect, the Immortal Sinking Mist had already eliminated a group of weak-willed trash, but the dark figure was still gritting his teeth.
It's all that fake immortal's fault!
Damn it, why did I have to come here and join in the fun?
As the Heaven-Slaying Array was fully activated, the shadowy figure sensed it and, unsurprisingly, discovered that his own cultivation level was indeed not being concealed.
After sensing it, I learned that the pseudo-immortal had already pushed open the gate of the Primordial Secret Palace, but he seemed to be in a daze. Heh, I guess he hasn't figured out why his cultivation was suddenly suppressed and he can't unleash it.
"Just you wait, I'll come find you as soon as I'm better."
The dark figure sat down cross-legged on the spot. He had been seriously injured by that guy, almost to the point of his soul being scattered, so he could only quickly use the power of the Primordial Secret Palace to recuperate his soul.
Otherwise, if we just go and fight that guy like this, the outcome is probably uncertain.
It's better to play it safe and let the injury heal completely before making any plans.
The dark figure was muttering and cursing, and it wasn't hard to imagine how angry he must have been to be driven to this point.
If we don't kill that fake immortal, how will he explain himself to the immortal lords in the future?
They messed up such a simple thing, I'm so ashamed!
……
The effect of the Forbidden Zone of Heaven rendered the Immortal Mist ineffective.
As a result, all the cultivators who had entered the Immortal Mist regained their clarity. They were initially very nervous because they discovered that the mist was actually one of the tests left behind by the immortals. Only those with strong minds could gain recognition and leave the mist.
It's unclear how many were eliminated, but the sudden disappearance of the fog allowed everyone to find temporary companions.
"what happened?"
As Xuanyuan Sheng watched the dissipating fog, he discovered that beside him stood the Prajna Swordsman and other fellow prodigies.
"I don't know."
The Prajna Swordsman, holding his sword, calmly said, "You all heard that sound just now, right?"
"heard it."
Everyone said in unison.
After entering the mist, they heard a mysterious voice tell them that this was the Immortal Mist, and that with their current strength, they had no chance of escaping. Therefore, they had to pass the test set by the voice to prove their mental fortitude. This was clearly another level of the Ancient Secret Palace.
Originally, everyone was going through a test, but suddenly the mist dissipated, and everyone came out.
This situation, starting strong but ending weakly, is absolutely strange.
"Something's not right. Our tests should have only gone halfway through, but now they've suddenly stopped. Something must have happened."
"That's what the Prajna Swordsman said."
I've never heard of any test that suddenly ends halfway through, and it's not that they give up, it's that the test is about giving up.
"One more question."
Xuanyuan Sheng clenched his fist: "I can't use my Dao power anymore."
His cultivation hadn't disappeared; the Dao power in his dantian was incredibly abundant, but he simply couldn't use it, as if it were bound and restricted. If the Ancient Secret Palace's blocking of their spiritual senses was only a slight increase in intensity...
Therefore, the restriction on their cultivation level this time can only be described as shocking.
They are all monks.
If a cultivator cannot use their Dao power and has no spiritual consciousness, what difference is there between them and an ordinary person?
Their cultivation levels were not high, and their physical bodies... were not strong to begin with. After all, a cultivator's body naturally absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during cultivation, but they are not body cultivators who specialize in body refinement, so their physical bodies are not actually that strong.
Unless it's some kind of tribulation-crossing, or a Mahayana cultivator.
Those powerful individuals at that level possess immense strength even without using their Dao power; their physical bodies alone are enough to generate immense force. But they are not like that.
They are all young talents.
Moreover, a significant portion of them didn't even care much about their physical bodies. Xuan Yuansheng's words only made things worse; many prodigies immediately began experimenting, only to panic completely when they discovered they couldn't use their Dao power!
They weren't afraid of death, but it was a bit too funny that they died without any resistance.
If in the end they are attacked by a horde of trashy monsters and become prey because they cannot use their Dao power...
Even in death, you'll be a laughingstock.
"How to do?"
"Should we leave here?"
"Leave? This is a secret realm of immortals, there must be many opportunities inside, and we are all geniuses, we should get these opportunities, wouldn't leaving now be just wishful thinking?"
"But now I can't use any of my cultivation. What if I encounter danger?"
There was a flurry of discussion, some impatient, others unwilling to accept it. "Calm down!"
Xuanyuan Sheng raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten our ultimate goal for this trip? These are all tests from the immortals!"
Suddenly, the noise stopped abruptly, and everyone fell silent.
Xuanyuan Sheng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "We've already come this far, so why not continue to fight? Besides, the immortals have their own considerations. Perhaps the next test won't even require us to use our cultivation?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
That makes perfect sense.
"go!"
Xuanyuan Sheng, without hesitation, took the lead and walked forward.
Soon, the guardian elders and retainers all regrouped, but upon further inquiry, it was discovered that even the Mahayana cultivators were subject to restrictions. However, their physical strength was very high, so they were not entirely unable to resist.
Half an hour later.
A large group of people gathered in front of the gate of the Ancient Secret Palace.
