First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 147: Suppression of the Sword Formation

Taking advantage of the fact that the bride ghost was trapped in the sword formation, her line of sight was obscured.

The Spirit-Hiding Rat transformed into a crimson shadow and swiftly darted into the high gate mansion.

Although Shen Mo's spiritual power had already transformed into Purple Mansion Spiritual Qi, both in terms of quantity and quality, it far surpassed the usual Second Stage Qi Gathering Realm.

However, activating the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation still required a large amount of spiritual power.

"Gulu!"

He took out two Qi-Condensing Pills, barely chewing them before swallowing them whole.

He felt the spiritual power in his Qi Sea Dantian quickly replenishing. Shen Mo made a move, retrieving the seven Big Dipper Sword Embryos back to his side.

At the same time, he controlled the Dragon Sparrow Sword and flew away into the distance.

Seeing the large red flower bridge flying up and chasing after him, a smile appeared on Shen Mo's face.

He didn't know what grade of magical treasure this flower bridge was, as it completely disregarded cutting and slashing. Apart from consuming spiritual power, there were no other benefits to continuing the stalemate.

"Sister Chen, collect the relics as soon as possible!"

He communicated through a sound transmission talisman, while his figure continued to lead the bride ghost away from this place.

On the way, they encountered other disciples from immortal sects, wandering cultivators, and others. Seeing this scene, they all hurriedly avoided.

However, some people were too slow to hide and were exposed to the bride ghost's line of sight.

Instantly, blood flowed from their seven orifices, dying a death that couldn't be any more final, and turning into walking corpses that chased after the flower sedan.

Then, the cultivators who had previously evaded them rushed forward and beat them into a pulp. The Qiankun bags and other items they left behind became the target of everyone's scramble.

"Eyes like torches, focus!"

Shen Mo silently recited in his heart, and a purple light shone in his pupils.

Wearing this special destiny, he could see that the flower sedan and the distant mansion were faintly connected by some kind of aura.

"This flower sedan may not be a magical treasure, but rather a part of a formation restriction."

He had a guess in his mind.

The seven sword embryos hovering around him roared once again, transforming into a sword formation that enveloped the flower sedan along with the bride ghost.

At this moment, sound transmissions from the Spirit-Hiding Rat and Chen Mengze arrived one after another.

Through the spiritual pet contract, the Spirit-Hiding Rat directly communicated with his divine sense: "Master, I've obtained the treasure."

Chen Mengze's voice also sounded from the sound transmission talisman:

"I've collected all the relics of the deceased cultivators. However, I'm being targeted by someone. After I finish off this group of jackals, I'll come and meet up with you."

"Alright, take care of yourself!" Shen Mo replied.

After a moment's pause, he transmitted again: "Sister Chen, you can release the news that there are a large number of heavenly treasures hidden in that mansion, and that it requires the joint efforts of many cultivators to break the restriction..."

On one hand, it could divert the attention of greedy cultivators and help alleviate the pressure on Chen Mengze.

On the other hand, Shen Mo had set his sights on the bride ghost!

The Spirit-Hiding Rat had already succeeded.

It informed Shen Mo that there were still some treasures in the mansion, but they were far from being heavenly treasures and were just ordinary goods.

Added together, they were not worth a fraction of the treasures it had obtained.

Since that treasure and the relics of the deceased cultivators were already in hand, Shen Mo naturally had no worries. Thus, he focused on attracting the attention of the bride ghost!

If he could refine her into the Soul Banner and turn her into a soul general.

With her strange talent for killing anyone she stared at, the power of the Soul Banner would definitely increase significantly.

Unless they were in the Spiritual Sea Realm or above and practiced body cultivation techniques, it would be difficult to resist her strange methods.

Even if it was the late stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, if caught off guard by the bride ghost's stare, they would suffer a great loss!

Not to mention those with weaker strength in the Qi Gathering Realm.

Even if they didn't die immediately, they would be dizzy for a while!

At that time, hundreds of soul generals on the Soul Banner would surge out with bloodlust... just thinking about this scene sent shivers down one's spine!

The idea was beautiful, but the implementation was not simple.

The bride ghost had been sitting inside the flower sedan and had not come out the entire time.

And the bridal sedan chair is also part of the prohibition in the mansion.

Relying solely on Shen Mo himself, he couldn't break the flower bridge, let alone refine the ghost bride in the wedding dress!

So, he thought of borrowing the help of other cultivators to break the prohibition in the mansion, and in the process, destroy the grand red flower bridge, assisting him in refining the ghost bride.

With this in mind, Shen Mo changed the formation.

"Big Dipper Sword Formation, rotate!"

The seven sword embryos responded and changed their positions.

Sounds of clashing swords!

The sword formation emitted a bright light, transforming the killing formation into a trapping formation, greatly reducing its killing power and turning it into a suppressing force.

Originally, Shen Mo couldn't damage the grand red bridal sedan chair, nor could he harm the ghost bride inside.

The ghost bride's "Death Stare" divine ability couldn't harm Shen Mo either, and besides that, she hadn't shown any other means.

Neither of them could do anything to each other.

If the ghost bride wanted to leave, she could still do so!

But now, the Big Dipper Sword Formation had transformed the killing formation into a trapping formation. Essentially, it was using sword formation techniques to counter the mysterious prohibition.

The ghost bride couldn't leave for the time being.

Unless Shen Mo, who set up the sword formation, exhausted his spiritual power and couldn't maintain the operation of the formation anymore.

"Just wait here! Let's see who can outlast the other."

Shen Mo took out a row of jade boxes from his storage bag and arranged them in front of him.

Inside were pills for replenishing spiritual power, ranging from first-grade to second-grade. After experiencing the incident with the Qi-replenishing pill, Shen Mo had made preparations.

Time continued to pass.

When the Spirit-Carrying Rat appeared in front of Shen Mo, carrying a pitch-black finger bone, the ghost bride suddenly became restless.

She continuously controlled the grand red bridal sedan chair, crashing left and right, trying to break through the sword formation and retrieve that finger bone.

"Behave yourself!"

Shen Mo lightly shouted, and his spiritual power surged out like a flood, resisting the impact and breakthrough attempts of the grand red bridal sedan chair with the might of the Big Dipper Sword Formation.

"Here, have some jerky. You've worked hard."

He took out a pill from the jade box and swallowed it, then took the finger bone from the Spirit-Carrying Rat's mouth and stuffed a piece of jerky into its mouth.

With his experience and knowledge, he didn't recognize what this finger bone was!

However, he could sense an extremely dense dark intent that couldn't be dissipated from the bone.

"Great! After dealing with the ghost bride, I can try to melt this thing into one of the sword embryos and make it fully formed!"

Shen Mo was somewhat surprised!

He didn't know beforehand that the treasure in the ghost bride's mansion contained such a dense dark intent.

Otherwise, he would have ignored the "dangerous" warning on the map jade slip and directly stormed in.

Now, having obtained a treasure containing the dark intent, this trip to the ghost country ruins had achieved half of its goal.

"With such a dense extreme element, after merging it into a sword embryo, it might even transform into a high-grade Profound Grade."

"It saved me a lot of effort!"

"The intent of light is relatively rare, but the intents of the other five elements occasionally appear in various auction houses."

"As long as I have enough spirit stones, there is still hope of acquiring them."

Shen Mo was happily calculating.

Suddenly, he saw a series of radiance emanating from the direction of the grand mansion.

Chen Mengze's voice transmission also came at the right time: "I have convinced about twenty to thirty cultivators. We are currently forcefully attacking the prohibition in the ghost mansion."

"However, this prohibition is quite powerful, and it may take a lot of effort to completely break it."

"When more cultivators are attracted here by the commotion, the speed of breaking the prohibition should increase."
