Chapter 103: Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover t
All ten Sect Masters rose to their feet, and behind each of them, a Loose Immortal appeared!
Each Sect Master naturally had a Loose Immortal secretly protecting them, at the very least, a Tribulation Loose Immortal.
The twenty individuals focused attentively, on guard, but no one could locate the speaker!
“Damn, we’ve been trapped by a Formation!” Bai Tieyi had just appeared when he realized the entire hall was sealed off.
Without hesitation, all twenty joined forces, blasting towards the entrance of the hall.
However, their attacks had barely reached the entrance before being effortlessly dissolved by a membrane of light!
Xuan Yifeng frowned, “It’s not a Formation, it’s your Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover!”
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s gaze turned towards Mu Xingzhi and Bai Tieyi.
Bai Tieyi quickly shielded Mu Xingzhi behind him, explaining, “Everyone is aware that the Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover disappeared over ten thousand years ago; it’s not with our Heavenly Mechanism Sect anymore.”
“Hinph! Mu Xingzhi, did your Heavenly Mechanism Sect summon us, the leaders of the major sects, just to have us killed?” Zhuo Bu’er said angrily.
Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “Can’t everyone see? They trapped us here because they don’t want us messing up their plans.”
“Come out!” Bai Tieyi called towards the entrance, not allowing anyone the chance to speculate wildly.
At the entrance, a shadow emerged, a mysterious figure shrouded in a black robe, whose presence could not be sensed by anyone due to the Glaze Sky- Concealing Cover’s interference.
“Relax, we won’t kill you. You just need to stay put here!” said the mysterious person in a deep, hoarse voice.
Mu Xingzhi stepped forward, “This Sect Leader did not send messages to the other sect leaders precisely because I feared interception. Yet we still fell into your trap, you’re from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, aren’t you?”
“Heh heh… Don’t try to fish for information. If you don’t want to die, just stay put!”
After speaking, the mysterious person vanished from sight.
Zhuo Bu’er sneered at this scene, “Mu Xingzhi, there’s no need to act anymore. All of this was your Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s idea, wasn’t it? What on earth does your Heavenly Mechanism Sect want to do?”
Mu Xingzhi knew that at this moment, everyone would definitely doubt the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
It was the Heavenly Mechanism Sect that sent out the invitations, and it was in a Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s courtyard that they were trapped, and furthermore, they were trapped by an Immortal Artifact of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect—it was only natural to suspect them.
Mu Xingzhi looked towards the entrance and said, “Everyone, think about it. Over ten thousand years ago, each of our sects lost an Immortal Artifact. The reappearance of the Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover likely means the other lost Immortal Artifacts will reappear as well. Without a doubt, it’s the person who has trapped us.”
“But that’s not important. What’s important is how to escape this trap, to prevent what this Sect Leader has foreseen from happening!” Mu Xingzhi continued.
His expression was extremely grave, not only because of the event that was about to transpire, but also because of the aura he sensed when he foresaw the future event.
But he dared not speak of it, nor could he.
Zhuo Bu’er huffed, “Mu Xingzhi, stop changing the subject. You’ve trapped us here, and the Great Hundred Sects Meeting will not be interrupted, so what exactly do you want to do?”
Xuan Yifeng gave Zhuo Bu’er a look and said, “Sect Leader Mu is right. The most important thing right now is to escape. Since the opponent has trapped all of us insiders, their purpose is clear—they don’t want us to evacuate the eight great cities!”
Shentu Feng nodded, “Therefore, their target is likely a massacre!”
Xuan Yifeng took a deep breath, “Right now, countless cultivators have gathered, and the resources they carry add up to an astronomical sum… Only the Ten Thousand Evils Cave would dare to do such a thing, without a doubt.”
“The Ten Thousand Evils Cave won’t kill us, probably because they don’t want to startle the snake in the grass,” Yue Shuang said.
If all ten Sect Masters were to perish, the major sects would know at once, and at that time, the entire city would be under martial law, with countless Loose Immortals mobilized.
Situations like that would hardly be conducive to the Ten Thousand Evils Cave’s plans.
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Evils Cave merely trapped everyone. Until their plan was carried out, no harm would come to anyone.
“Sect Leader Mu, the Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover was once your Immortal Artifact, do you have a way to break free from this trap?” Xuan Yifeng asked.
Mu Xingzhi and Bai Tieyi both shook their heads. The artifact had once been the Sect’s Treasure, and now someone must have been secretly activating it. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly have the ability to break it open?
“Everyone, let’s think of a solution together. We must find a way to send a message out, otherwise… sigh!” Yue Shuang heaved a long sigh.
“The Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover can conceal heavenly secrets and block aura, as well as trap people. Outsiders can’t know that we have been trapped… How about we join forces to continue attacking? Maybe we could blast it open!” Bai Tieyi said.
“What else can we do? We’ve got no choice but to try!” Zhuo Bu’er snorted coldly.
Hum!
Suddenly, a formidable pressure emerged in the hall. Under this pressure, even a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal like Bai Tieyi was instantly suppressed, unable to move!
At the same time, a membrane of light appeared over the entire Heaven Secret Courtyard, completely enveloping it.
Inside the courtyard, all the members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect appeared, looking up at the membrane, puzzled and confused.
A Loose Immortal frowned, “Is this Mu Xingzhi’s doing? Why would he activate the formation and trap us for no reason?”
“The Sect Master is discussing matters with the leaders of other sects in the hall, so it certainly wasn’t him. But these fluctuations, how come they didn’t startle them?” another Loose Immortal said.
The crowd looked at each other, then quickly hastened towards the hall.
When they arrived at the hall, everyone was stunned, “What’s going on here? Is this the Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover?”
But at that moment, everyone, including Bai Tieyi, was suppressed to the point where they couldn’t speak, and even their Spiritual Sense couldn’t leave their bodies.
“This is bad, we need to think of a way to break through this Trap Array, ideally creating a big commotion to draw in the powerhouses from the major sects!” the First Elder said with a grave expression.
At this moment, they vaguely understood why the Sect Master had given such instructions before. Indeed, a major event was about to occur!
But no matter how the Heavenly Mechanism Sect members attacked together, the formation didn’t budge an inch!
From the outside, everything in the Heaven Secret Courtyard seemed normal!
Inside the Universe Mystery Tower, Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes, the Immortal Yuan around him rapidly converging, “It worked, indeed it did!”
Li Cheng wasn’t wrong. Not limited by the laws of heaven and earth even when Artifact Refining Immortal Artifacts, the Immortal Yuan within his body indeed also wasn’t. Now, he had finally succeeded in completely transforming it into Immortal Yuan!
Even his Spiritual Sense had transformed into Immortal Sense, and his flesh became an Immortal Body, its strength comparable to that of an inferior-grade Immortal Artifact!
The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, successfully entering the tenth level!
Standing up, Li Cheng looked towards the nearby Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “By the way, Senior, is there any issue with the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture I’ve perfected? If there’s no issue, I’ll continue cultivating it this way.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “You keep it up!”
Li Cheng smiled. This meant that the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture he had completed had no problems.
“The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture has a total of thirty-three layers. Do you have any news about the remaining fifteen layers?” Li Cheng asked again.
Back then, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had cultivated up to the eighteenth layer, and he must have been searching for the remaining fifteen layers. Li Cheng felt that this was like benefiting from the foresight of his predecessors.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked at Li Cheng speechlessly, “You’ve only cultivated to the tenth layer, what’s the rush?”
Li Cheng nodded and walked over to Lei Yuan, who was still in the state of cultivation, “His Foundation Establishment Stage is complete, but there hasn’t been much progress in his Cultivation. How has his cultivation of the Sky Covering Hand been going?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan sighed, “The Sky Covering Hand, possessing the capability to cover the sky, has finally found a suitable successor!”
By that, he meant that he was very satisfied with Lei Yuan’s progress in cultivation!
Li Cheng, with a smile on his face, “I have cultivated up to the Ninth Sword of the Chaos Yuan Eighteen Swords. Why not pass down to me the Tianyuan Nine Techniques as well? I promise to cultivate each technique to completion in one day.”
