Chapter 38 Spatial Safety
Xianyu asked Shen Yao, "You have another very powerful technique, the one that can penetrate the forbidden realm, your strongest strike, is that okay?"
Shen Yao: "This move requires charging up energy and aiming, so we can only try our best."
"That technique is truly powerful; it can even pass through the forbidden realm!" Salty Fish exclaimed. "I wanted to ask you last time, how do you possess such a powerful technique?"
Shen Yao didn't answer, she just stared at the salted fish.
Xianyu also looked at Shen Yao.
The Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast also looked at Shen Yao.
The little stone man remained on the side, arms crossed, coldly watching everyone.
The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, seemingly indifferent, lay dozing alone on a piece of Spirit Source Stone.
Both the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast and the Salted Fish were waiting for Shen Yao's answer, and kept looking at her.
Shen Yao kept looking at the salted fish.
"I understand!" Salty Fish looked away: "There must be a reason why you can't say it."
"Yes." Shen Yao nodded emphatically.
Xianyu thought for a moment and said, "My Fire Disc is an intermediate-level technique that can launch up to four fire discs at the same time."
"My water bubble can envelop beasts and cultivators, temporarily inhibiting their use of spiritual power."
"I also have a divine-level technique that I obtained in the Jiaoluo Secret Realm. It is the Endless Ice Wall, which can freeze anything it touches indefinitely. It was used in the Shiquan Stone Pit that day."
Upon hearing this, the little stone man stood up, stomped his foot to attract everyone's attention, and then let out a loud "humph".
Shen Yao turned her head back and continued looking at the salted fish.
Salty Fish continued, "The Endless Ice Wall can freeze low-level beasts or eighth-rank cultivators for thirty breaths, but it has no killing power on its own."
"But I can freeze the other person, and then use my air blade to shatter the ice wall. The frozen thing will also break."
"However, I am only an eighth-grade three-eighths-level spiritual root, and I don't know if these techniques will be effective against high-level alien beasts."
"Moreover, the higher the level of the cultivator or beast, the shorter the time they will be frozen by the endless ice wall."
After listening, Shen Yao said, "If there is only one Spiky Beast, you only need to freeze it for three breaths, and I can kill it with my strongest attack!"
“But we have to deal with more than one.” Shen Yao said solemnly, “When we leave here, there may be four or even more Spiny Beasts outside.”
Suddenly, the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast spoke up, its voice timid: "Ya Ya can also help. Ya Ya knows Crescent Blade."
The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle broke its slumber and spoke up to stop it: "Don't expend too much of your natural energy, otherwise you won't be able to receive the complete inheritance after you reach adulthood. You'll be an adult soon."
The Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast silently retreated again.
The little stone man snorted heavily again. "Hmph, we're both from the same source of spiritual energy, yet the armored beetle is so concerned about the water spirit beast, but it's helping the female cultivator capture me!"
The little stone man found the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle increasingly detestable.
Shen Yao looked at the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "And what about you? When will you be an adult?"
Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "At least three more years."
Three years is indeed a bit long.
"It seems we really can't go out for now." Shen Yao asked the Cloud Claw Beast, "Claw Claw, after you come of age, can you help me awaken my water elemental root?"
Yunya Blackhoof Beast happily said, "Yaya, you can do it! On the day Yaya comes of age, her energy will be particularly strong, which can help you awaken your water spirit root."
Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "When this Spirit Source Beast reaches adulthood, it can help you awaken your spiritual root once. The next time, it will take another thousand years, or you will have to provide it with a Spirit Source Core."
Hmm, it seems like you're very lucky.
Shen Yao glanced at the salted fish and felt that it was all thanks to the little koi.
We really need to latch onto Grandma Little Koi's coattails!
At this moment, the salted fish's inner thoughts were: My Yao Yao is about to awaken a new spiritual root! How amazing! I really need to cling to Yao Yao's coattails!
Having made up her mind to latch onto Xianyu's coattails, Shen Yao decided to help Xianyu become stronger first: "Xianyu, I'll teach you the God-level Soul Meridian Opening Technique right now."
"Yay! Yay!" The salted fish was overjoyed and immediately began to meditate, waiting for Shen Suyao to guide her in cultivation.
Shen Yao instructed: "Circulate your spiritual energy back to its source, and fully open your spiritual veins."
"Return the spirit to its source." The salted fish made the same gesture as Shen Yao and chanted, "Open all the spiritual veins..."
After trying several times, it still didn't work. Xianyu said, "No, no, it gets stuck on the first loop and can't get into the spiritual vein at all."
Shen Yao asked, "Where is it stuck?"
Salty Fish: "When circulating spiritual energy, pouring it from the spiritual root into the meridians, and then from the meridians into the spiritual veins... it feels like there's a blockage in the spiritual veins."
"The feeling of blocked spiritual veins..." Shen Yao thought for a moment: "The Spectral Immortal Venerable once helped me clear my spiritual veins. It's possible that your spiritual veins are not open."
Xianyu looked disappointed, but Shen Yao comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, let's try something else."
After trying all the divine-level techniques, I found that only the divine-level Spirit Recovery Technique and the divine-level Body Tempering Technique were techniques that I could practice.
Although he could only cultivate two types, Xianyu was very happy: "A divine-level body tempering technique! After mastering it, I can even withstand an attack from a third-grade, eighth-level spiritual root immortal ancestor!"
……
Zhou County, Yunxia Sect.
When Zhang Cheng returned to the sect with his fellow disciples, he still looked visibly flustered.
Tiger Gate Guest welcomed them in, and Zhang Cheng rushed towards the sect's council hall.
As Zhang Cheng approached Zhou County, he sent a message to the sect leader and the Grand Elder, who were already waiting for him in the council hall.
As soon as Zhang Cheng entered the council hall, he immediately knelt down and said, "Sect Master, Elder, this disciple is incompetent. I failed to find any trace of the two female cultivators and only brought back the bodies of my five junior brothers."
Xue Xiaozi slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "What did you say? Yu Mu and the others are all dead?!"
Zhang Cheng said, "This disciple is incompetent! But the deaths of my five senior brothers were strange, and we still need the sect leader and the grand elder to examine them."
The elder stood up and walked outside: "Let's go to the outer hall."
Upon reaching the outer hall, Zhang Cheng released Yu Mu's body. The Grand Elder, seeing that the body was headless, pointed at it and asked, "Whose body is this? Why is it headless?"
Zhang Cheng: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, this is Junior Brother Yu Mu's body. According to my on-site investigation, Junior Brother Yu Mu's head should have been shattered into minced meat in one move."
Xue Xiazi slammed her fist on the outer hall table again, angrily shouting, "You're simply taking advantage of the fact that my Yunxia Sect has no great cultivators!"
The Grand Elder also showed displeasure.
Zhang Cheng placed the bodies of Zhou He and Zhou Tan side by side, and then used his spiritual power to support the bodies of Sun Qi and Meng Yuan, placing them side by side.
Zhang Cheng asked the sect leader and the grand elder to examine the body: "Sect leader, grand elder, look, Zhou He died from a single blow through the throat, and Zhou Tan died from a single blow through the chest."
Xue Xiazi and the Grand Elder saw that it was indeed the case; the method was the same as when Xue Wangu was killed, and the wound was a round hole two fingers wide.
Zhang Cheng then walked to the front of Sun Qi and Meng Yuan's corpses: "Sect Master, Grand Elder, please look from behind."
Xue Xiazi and the Grand Elder walked behind the corpse, and upon looking at it from behind, they were both startled.
Xue Xiazi exclaimed, "This is... a single strike piercing through the chest, simultaneously killing two low-grade sixth-rank cultivators?!"
Grand Elder: "It certainly seems so..."
Zhang Cheng: "Sect Master, Grand Elder, where I am standing now, there was a forbidden realm at the time. According to my investigation, the murderer was trapped inside the forbidden realm and killed two junior brothers at the same time with one move..."
What?! Xue Xiazi and the Grand Elder were shocked. A single move pierced through the forbidden realm and simultaneously killed two sixth-grade low-level cultivators... What terrifying power!
Could the elders of the Grand Sect Masters, those Immortal Ancestors... do it?
Xue Xiazi felt dizzy and her vision blurred. She feared she would never be able to avenge her son's death...
The Grand Elder urgently instructed Zhang Cheng, "Quickly, go and summon Qu Shao!"
Qu Shao was waiting outside the hall. Upon hearing the summons, he immediately pushed open the door and entered: "Sect Master, Grand Elder, your disciple is here."
The Grand Elder hurriedly asked, "When you were confronting those two female cultivators, did you reveal your identities as disciples?"
Qu Shao: "Before I left with the young sect leader, the Cloud Mist Sect was not exposed, but after I left, I don't know anything about it..."
Zhang Cheng: "Elder, I checked the storage spaces of my junior brothers and found that all their items, including the Ten Perfection Stone Coins, were still there. Only Zhou He and Zhou Tan, their Cloud Mist Sect disciples' flying spirit treasures, were missing."
Upon hearing this, Xue Xiazi said bitterly, "Eternal flying treasures are also gone."
Qu Shao: "Reporting to the Sect Master, Grand Elder, on Linfeng Lake, the Young Clan members and Zhou He and Zhou Tan fell into the lake. The flying magical treasures were all in the air..."
The Grand Elder had been pondering silently for a few moments: "I'm afraid those two female cultivators deliberately took away the spiritual treasure as proof... You two step back, and you are not allowed to mention it again now."
"Yes, Elder, Sect Master, this disciple takes his leave." Zhang Cheng and Qu Shao acknowledged the order and withdrew, appearing obedient on the surface, but inwardly already plotting how to quickly find an opportunity to leave the Cloud Mist Sect...
