First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 222: Gathering and Breaking the Prohibition

"If it is the tomb of Prince Yongzuo, we must be cautious!" Chen Mengze pondered for a moment and nodded.

Yongzuo was not the official reign title of the previous dynasty of the Chiyan Kingdom. It was a name created by this deposed prince out of dissatisfaction. He did not recognize the previous dynasty nor the current new dynasty, so he created his own reign title.

During his last appearance in his lifetime, he had already reached the peak of the Linghai Realm, the ninth level.

Some even speculated that Prince Yongzuo had formed the Yuan Dan and left the Chiyan Kingdom to establish his own country in another place.

Now it seems that his attempt to break through to the Yuan Dan stage must have failed.

Even until his death, he remained at the peak of the Linghai Realm.

Otherwise, with the lifespan of a Yuan Dan stage expert, Prince Yongzuo should not have disappeared like this.

However, the tomb of a Linghai Realm expert is not easy to trespass.

From the description of the Lingcang Rat, Shen Mo could already sense the danger, which is why he invited Li Zhong, Yao Ting, and others to come.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be more beneficial for only him and Chen Mengze to go?

As they were talking, streaks of light fell one after another.

Lu Ming from the Star Peak, Yao Ting, and Jiang Yingying from the Tianjian Sect arrived successively.

Shen Mo noticed that among the three from the Tianjian Sect, only Jiang Yingying and Peng Chen Shu came. He couldn't help but wonder, "Senior Sister Jiang, why isn't Senior Brother Geng here?"

"He is solely focused on exterminating demons and doesn't want to participate in this matter."

Jiang Yingying said and then walked to Chen Mengze's side, whispering to her.

Shen Mo didn't comment.

Since Geng Zheng didn't want to come, then let it be.

He could understand a sword cultivator who comprehended the sword intent of "punishing evil" and was solely focused on killing demons.

Soon, Li Zhong and his two friends also landed on the cliff with their flying swords.

But as soon as the Tianjian Sect's Shangguan Jie saw Jiang Yingying, he flew away without looking back, his face darkened.

Li Zhong chased after him for a while but returned empty-handed, saying, "This guy told me that he didn't want to see Miss Jiang, so he left first."

Naturally, this earned him a slap on the back of his head from Song Fang.

Li Zhong was already used to it and had an indifferent expression on his face.

Shen Mo looked at Jiang Yingying and saw that she remained calm and said straightforwardly, "Senior Brother Shangguan pursued me before, but after being rejected by me multiple times, he started avoiding me."

"..."

Shen Mo's mouth twitched, almost unable to hold back his laughter.

If he had known about the entanglement between Shangguan Jie and Jiang Yingying beforehand, he wouldn't have invited both of them at the same time.

As a result, there were only eight people left to enter the underground palace.

Li Zhong was at the ninth level of the Gathering Qi Realm.

Yao Ting and Song Fang were at the later stage of the Gathering Qi Realm.

The others, except for Lu Ming, were all at the middle stage of the Gathering Qi Realm.

However, Lu Ming had the Thunder Spirit Body and received personal guidance from the master of the Star Peak, so his strength was not weaker than an ordinary cultivator at the middle stage of the Gathering Qi Realm.

With this lineup, it should be enough to break the prohibition outside the underground palace.

Soon, Shen Mo flew to the foot of the mountain and activated the Demon-Slaying Sword to dig downwards.

He had previously dug a tunnel leading to the underground palace, but when he left, he destroyed it to prevent others from discovering the tomb.

Now, with the help of Li Zhong and others, it didn't take much time to dig near the underground palace again.

The entrance on the surface was also covered by talismans.

"What a magnificent underground palace! It is indeed the tomb of Prince Yongzuo."

As the majestic underground palace came into view, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"The underground palace is full of unknown dangers... If anyone wants to withdraw, it's not too late!"

Before breaking the prohibition, Shen Mo once again reminded everyone of the risks of this trip.

Li Zhong grinned and said boldly, "There is no safe place on the path of cultivation!"

"Practicing cultivation techniques is dangerous, killing demons is extremely dangerous, and taking too many pills... can all lead to death."

"Even if Prince Yongzuo faked his death, I, Li Zhong, still want to take a few treasures before leaving!"

The others had strange expressions but did not refute Li Zhong's point of view.

Immediately, Shen Mo stopped speaking: "Let's begin!"

"Buzz!"

The Demon-slaying Sword trembled and slashed out a rainbow-like sword light towards the palace's prohibition.

Chen Mengze, Li Zhong, Jiang Yingying, and others were unwilling to fall behind, each launching their strongest attacks.

Among them, Li Zhong, Lu Ming, and Song Fang had the most unique methods of breaking the prohibition!

Li Zhong's body emitted a golden iron luster, like a human-shaped weapon made of refined steel, constantly colliding with the prohibition's spiritual light.

Lu Ming was enveloped in purple electric arcs.

He continuously smashed out arcs of lightning, striking the prohibition.

Song Fang of the Yan Yue Sect took out small flags and set up a formation, using the formation to bombard and wear down the prohibition.

"Boom!"

"Boom rumble rumble!"

The formation prohibition guarding the palace continuously trembled.

In the darkness, with a faint golden light, mysterious patterns appeared and gradually shattered, flickering in and out.

"Crack!"

After several hours, the prohibition of the palace finally couldn't hold on and cracked open a huge gap.

However, if one looked closely, they could see that the gap in the prohibition was slowly closing at an extremely slow speed.

"This formation can extract the aura of the earth's evil energy to repair itself." Song Fang, who was the most proficient in the way of formations among the group, looked surprised.

"If we don't do anything about it, how long will it take to completely heal?"

Song Fang carefully studied it and then replied, "Probably about three days."

"Three days is too fast!"

"If something unexpected happens, we might not be able to escape."

Shen Mo pondered for a moment and continued to release sword qi, expanding the gap in the prohibition. "We need at least ten days! Let's continue breaking the prohibition."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With everyone's combined efforts, the gap grew larger and larger...

After another two hours, Song Fang confirmed that the prohibition could not be repaired within ten days, and everyone stopped.

They took out pills and restored their spiritual energy outside the prohibition.

Taking advantage of everyone's recovery.

Yao Ting approached Shen Mo and asked in a low voice, "Shen Junior Brother, didn't you invite Lingyin Junior Sister to explore the treasure together?"

"She gave me a lot of excellent pills before!"

"Unfortunately... they were all bought by other senior brothers and sisters."

"I wanted to ask her to buy more demon-suppressing pills and qi-enhancing pills."

Shen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

During the Heavenly Mountain Catastrophe, Yao Ting also owed a life-saving favor to Zhao Lingyin, so it was natural for Zhao Lingyin to repay it.

As a result, she actually gave pills as a gift!

It seemed that in her eyes, there was nothing that couldn't be solved with pills.

If there was, she would give even higher-grade pills!

In fact, it was true. Pills, to some extent, were comparable to spiritual stones.

In the cultivation world of the Chi Yan Kingdom, there was a period of time when the most basic first-grade pills were used as a universal currency for pricing and trading.

"A few days ago, Lingyin went back to the sect with her master!"

Because the demonic calamity was about to occur, the sect gave all the alchemists in the Pill Domain the task of refining pills.

As the only fourth-grade alchemist in the Linjiang Sect, Wu Gong had to refine high-grade pills for the strong members of the sect.

Naturally, he had no free time!

Even the time to return to the branch of the Alchemist Alliance and study ancient formulas was gone.

Zhao Lingyin was the same. She had a heavy workload and had to refine third-grade and fourth-grade pills in the Pill Domain!

Or rather, except for Shen Mo.

All the registered alchemists in the sect were busy with their pill furnaces smoking.
