I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

But if this rat bites the vital point, it can also be fatal.

”Four Late Stage Golden Core, fourteen Golden Core, such strength is extraordinary!”

In the hall, a Great Demon couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing the situation.

At the moment, there were only two Late Stage Golden Core and one Late Stage Great Demon in the hall.

Although there were still fifteen Golden Core and Great Demons, the situation was entirely different with one more Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivator on the opposite side.

Late Stage Golden Core is completely different from the two previous stages of Golden Core.

”Even though they have the Array Disc for protection, they are ultimately not as convenient as us in manipulating Spiritual Qi in the mountain. The anomalies are also reduced, and we still have the strength to fight.”

”The Vast Sea Celestial Calming Pearl will not trap the two Sect Leaders for long. We only need to hold on for one day, and this battle can relieve the crisis.”

”Under a fallen nest, there are no whole eggs. If the two Sect Leaders are defeated, do you think we alone can escape under two Daoist Embryos?”

”I know you do not have much loyalty to the Celestial Demon Sect, but at this moment, it’s not a battle for the Sect, but a battle for your own lives!”

”If we lose this battle, we will surely die, there’s no luck involved. Even if we don’t die, a thousand years of treasures will fall into others’ hands, no different from dying!”

Seeing the silence in the hall, the leading elder suddenly shouted at everyone.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone raised their heads, their eyes shining brightly.

”Don’t panic, although the two Sect Leaders are trapped, the Sect Treasure Vault is still here. Before the Sect Leaders were trapped, they issued the Treasure Order to immediately open the vault and unleash all Artifacts and Spiritual Treasures, swearing to defend the Inquiry Hall to the death!”

The elder held a Treasure Order and spoke in a deep voice to everyone.

Seeing this Treasure Order, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The Treasure Order was always held by the two Sect Leaders, and now it appeared in the elder’s hand, indicating that before being trapped, the two Sect Leaders had made some arrangements, which means the situation was not yet hopeless.

”Hold this hall tight, and fight these two sects to the end!”

”Damn it, what Profound Sect, resorting to such sneaky and despicable acts, truly shameless!”

”Fight! Fight to the end!”

A hot-tempered Great Demon in the hall shouted immediately.

Seeing this, the elder also slightly relaxed, then waved to summon a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator with a deep aura, gave instructions, and then opened the treasure vault, preparing for battle.

...

...

Everything in the hall was naturally unknown to Gu Yuan and the others.

But Tian Dou, Master Tiandou and others had already deduced many times about the happenings in the hall and had long anticipated everything.

”Right now, that Inquiry Hall must be noisy, likely distributing various treasures, preparing to block us.”

Master Tiandou, looking at the illusion of the mountain being continually split open in front of him, couldn’t help but smile at everyone.

The Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Array Disc was uniquely created by Master Cangming by reversing the origin of the Jiuyi Profound Demon Array. Once activated, this array disc could condense a Golden Saber to cut open a path for everyone to advance.

But it could only provide a single ”path”.

To completely break open the Grand Array, one must enter the Inquiry Hall, break the Array Hub, and sever the foundation of the array.

And at present, they were within this ”path”.

Even with the help of the Array Disc, the progress was not fast.

After all, the Grand Array was not yet broken, the boundless mountain illusion suppressed heaven and earth, and the Golden Saber illusion had to chip away at the array bit by bit to form a path.

Now, they had entered several dozen miles into Jiuyi Mountain, able to see in the mountains many palatial buildings and trembling Little Demons.

But they hadn’t seen any Golden Core or Great Demon.

Master Tiandou immediately understood their strategy.

”Although we are on a surprise attack, even if the Celestial Demon Sect has Spiritual Treasures secretly stored, it would be difficult to refine them at short notice and operate them smoothly. Combined with Junior Brother Gu’s surprise troops, this expedition can certainly triumph!”

Master Shenyi also smiled upon hearing this.

He was of a steady temperament, not one to boast or celebrate prematurely, but now deep in Jiuyi Mountain, in the vast, dark mountains, no one knew what might happen. If unexpected, all eighteen of them could be doomed.

So he spoke in agreement with Master Tiandou to boost morale.

Sure enough, hearing their conversation, all the other Golden Core cultivators, except Gu Yuan and Sword Fox Ascendant, breathed a sigh of relief.

They weren’t Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivators; any mistake could lead to their demise in Jiuyi Mountain, hence they were somewhat uneasy. Now hearing this, they all relaxed a bit.

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

In the vast night, the dense Spiritual Qi, under the control of the Jiuyi Profound Demon Array, occasionally transformed into the illusions of mountains and giant demons, pressing down on them. Yet, under the cleaving of the Golden Saber illusion, they continuously shattered.

A deep ”path” was forcibly carved out under the cleaving of the Golden Saber, extending continuously towards the Inquiry Hall.

In this way, after passing several more peaks, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, huge and overwhelming, appearing above Gu Yuan and the others.

”What Profound Sect, just a bunch of sneaky cowards!”

”Shenyi, retreat quickly, and you may be spared!”

”Fall back, fall back!”

Within the shadow, a roar sounded like thunder, causing the entire Jiuyi Mountain to vibrate in agreement with his shouts.

And behind the shadow, seventeen more figures quietly appeared.

There were those with demon qi soaring to the sky and those surrounded by rolling demon clouds, a mix of Golden Core and Great Demons, their auras like clouds.

Under the mountains, countless Little Demons and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also watching them intently with hungry eyes.
