I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 430: Golden Runes

Generally speaking, after cultivators advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the progress of their cultivation will slow down significantly. It may even take hundreds of years to make a slight advancement. The mid-stage of Nascent Soul is considered the pinnacle of cultivation in the immortal cultivation world. As for the late-stage of Nascent Soul and Soul Formation cultivators, they usually don't take action and are rare to come across.

At this moment, with the transformation that made him as powerful as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Lin Qing and the others were at a loss.

Suddenly, Sun Fellow Daoist on the side thought of something and looked at the person sealed in front of them.

"Fellow Daoists, since he dares not harm this person in the slightest, why don't we attack him and make him overwhelmed?" Sun Fellow Daoist said, looking at the person in front of them.

Lin Qing was momentarily speechless. How could he not have thought of this?

The reason they hadn't made a move all this time was because they believed that this South Palace Fellow Daoist didn't dare to attack them because of this person. If they were to attack this person, wouldn't the South Palace Fellow Daoist have no more reservations? They would only die faster.

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, Lin Qing seemed to have discovered something.

At this moment, hidden behind this person, Lin Qing looked towards the air around the altar and saw not only chains, but also dark golden runes on the stone walls.

Although he didn't know what these runes were, they definitely weren't just decorations.

"Fellow Daoists, do you see those runes? They must be the seals left behind by the previous cultivators. It's quite strange," Lin Qing said to Sun Fellow Daoist and Zhang Fellow Daoist.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Sun and Zhang Fellow Daoists, who were like headless flies, also had a reaction and saw these runes.

And for some reason, Sun Fellow Daoist immediately extended his palm and tried to send a surge of spiritual power towards them.

Like candles being lit, these dark golden runes instantly lit up and formed a dazzling light on the stone walls the moment they came into contact with the spiritual power.

And in the blink of an eye after the light formed, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, South Palace Fellow Daoist, who was attacking the chains, felt a depression in his chest as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. His body shook and he took several steps back.

"This is..."

South Palace Fellow Daoist looked around in astonishment, completely unaware of what had happened.

Under his relentless destruction just now, half of the chains had already been destroyed. As long as he was given a little more time, the remaining chains would be of no concern.

While he hesitated, Lin Qing and the others saw the miraculous effect and immediately began to channel their spiritual power with their hands. The runes on the surrounding stone walls were also lit up one by one. Some of these runes directly attacked South Palace Fellow Daoist, although they couldn't kill him, they forced him to stop and defend himself every time. Some runes, however, lit up and disappeared, their purpose unknown.

At this moment, South Palace Fellow Daoist also noticed the runes on the stone walls around him and looked at Lin Qing and the others with increasing anger in his eyes.

"These are probably the hidden tricks left behind when the seal was placed. Each one of them has the power of an initial-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he is powerful in his transformed state, he can't withstand them," Zhang Fellow Daoist continuously activated the runes and said with joy.

Although Fellow Daoist Sun didn't say anything, a look of joy filled his face.

This Fellow Daoist Nangong is currently powerful, but this kind of transformation technique has a time limit. The stronger the transformed strength, the shorter the duration. This is common knowledge in the cultivation world, and Fellow Daoist Nangong cannot avoid it.

Since he transformed, half an incense stick's worth of time has passed. Even the most powerful secret technique will gradually weaken.

And once it expires, he will definitely enter a period of weakness. With the three of them, they will surely be able to take down Fellow Daoist Nangong without any worries about their lives.

What makes Fellow Daoist Sun even more satisfied is that although they fell into a trap on this journey, this place is not the cave of a Soul Formation cultivator, but a sealing place. After killing Fellow Daoist Nangong, three out of the six people on this journey have perished. It goes without saying that the storage bags of these three people contain good things. When the time comes, he will split them equally with Lin Qing. This journey was not in vain.

Thinking of this, Fellow Daoist Sun's spiritual power in his hand surged, continuously patting the runic symbols on the surrounding rock walls.

There are about a hundred of these symbols. Fellow Daoist Sun accidentally patted a small and delicate symbol. After this symbol was triggered, it seemed to have no reaction, but Lin Qing, who had been releasing her divine sense, felt delighted in her heart.

Suddenly, a small teleportation array appeared on the ground below the altar.

Although they don't know where this teleportation array leads, it must be an exit teleportation array, which means they don't need to worry about the reappearance of the red stone door.

With Lin Qing's reminder, Fellow Daoist Sun and Fellow Daoist Zhang quickly discovered this teleportation array, and their joy increased.

As for Fellow Daoist Nangong, he is currently suffering under the attacks of the surrounding symbols. Although these attacks are only equivalent to the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, they are causing him great pain despite his current strength, which is comparable to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. These symbols seem to be able to restrain his demonic energy, increasing their power by thirty percent.

Looking at Lin Qing and the two Fellow Daoists Sun and Zhang, Fellow Daoist Nangong couldn't help but wonder why these triggered symbols seemed to only attack him and not the three of them. Could it be because of the demonic energy on his body?

Indeed, that's the case.

This is a seal left by ancient cultivators, sealing a demon with a cultivation level equivalent to a human's perfect Soul Formation stage. Although this demon seems to have no aura now, it is not dead at all. Killing it recklessly would cause a plague to spread, causing countless casualties. Therefore, it can only be sealed like this.

In order to prevent evil cultivators with ulterior motives from coming to rescue, these anti-demonic symbols were set up, which can be activated even by a Foundation Building cultivator.

After being activated, these anti-demonic symbols will actively attack targets with demonic energy. So at this moment, Fellow Daoist Nangong is being honestly attacked by these symbols.

As for the teleportation array, it is also a back-up plan to escape.

Of course, it can also be considered a trap. As long as a cultivator with demonic energy steps into the teleportation array, they will immediately be annihilated in the spatial rift and cannot be teleported out.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, it seems that Fellow Daoist Nangong can't hold on anymore," Fellow Daoist Sun smiled and whispered to Lin Qing.

At this moment, because of Fellow Daoist Nangong, the three of them have become a close alliance, and their relationship seems to have become more intimate.

Lin Qing also nodded. Fellow Daoist Nangong indeed seems to be unable to hold on, but what worries her more is that there are not many symbols left on the surrounding stone walls, only about ten. As long as Fellow Daoist Nangong holds on for a little longer, they will probably be the ones who suffer in the end.

Fellow Daoist Nangong also noticed this. Although the transformation technique is about to expire, he forcibly activated it again to stabilize his strength.
