n439 Natural Barrier
nOutside the Divine Fire Sect, more than half of the many rogue cultivators were demons.
nThe reason was that the status of the demons in the Immortal World was generally not high. They usually could not obtain enough resources. They naturally wanted to take a share of the resources that they could obtain for no reason.
nAll of them were very dawdling. They each guarded a place and occupied a mountain. They had no intention of attacking, as if they had already discussed it.
nLi Yuanqing brought Shan Que around from the front to the back.
nThe Divine Fire Sect was originally just a small sect, they could barely stabilize their footing with such a violent fire attribute cultivation technique.
nHowever, the nature of their spirit mine was not strong and could only be considered very ordinary. The area it occupied was far inferior to the Martial Yuan Sect.
nThe terrain in front of the Divine Fire Sect was relatively flat. There were only two small mountains less than a thousand feet tall that were isolated from the outside world.
nHowever, it was precisely because the terrain here was too smooth that the array formation in front of them was especially tight.
nLi Yuanqing had just checked around and realized that the density of the array formation in the front was very high. It would probably be too difficult to break out from here.
nThis was also the reason why many rogue cultivators retreated to the back after the test and waited quietly.
nThe strength of the front was indeed high enough. Coupled with those powerful puppets, it was normal for them to be able to guard it until now.
nBefore Li Yuanqing came, he was still thinking about how the people from the Divine Fire Sect could still guard the covetous eyes of the many people outside.
nAfter coming here, it was a little clearer.
nHowever, he also discovered some clues.
nIt was obvious that the array formations at the front of the Divine Fire Sect had traces of strengthening. There were clearly two layers of array formations overlapping each other to have such an effect.
nLi Yuanqing followed the layer of strengthening array formation above and found a weak point at the back.
nThere was a sunken area behind the Divine Fire Sect. There was a huge mountain standing there. The situation on this mountain was very unique. There were also many powerful demons cultivating here. The semicircle at the foot of the mountain was the border of the Divine Fire Sect.
nThere were many powerful demons on this mountain peak. It could be said to be a natural barrier. Moreover, there was a very wide ravine between the mountain peak and the Divine Fire Sect. The two of them looked at each other on both sides of the ravine.
nSuch a terrain was the overall situation of the Divine Fire Sect.
nIf outsiders saw such a natural barrier here, they would definitely not be able to pass through it. If they could kill their way through this place, the demons cultivating on the mountain would probably have rushed in long ago.
nHowever, after so many years, they were still able to get along peacefully. That meant that the natural barrier in this canyon was definitely difficult to cross.
nIt was also because many people had such thoughts that when Li Yuanqing went around to the back, he realized that there were not many people guarding this area.
nIt had to be known that there was basically a small team guarding the periphery not far away. However, after arriving, it became quiet. Everyone tacitly avoided this natural danger.
nLi Yuanqing looked up at the towering mountain and sighed at the magical terrain of the Immortal World.
n“Supremacy? Are you not too familiar with the situation here?” Shan Que looked at Li Yuanqing with a frown and then at the mountain peak with fear. “There are ruthless figures on this mountain. Aren’t you looking for trouble with them by coming here? If they get angry and attack us later, the two of us won’t be able to escape.”
n“We’re not here to cause them trouble. Follow me.”
nWith that, Li Yuanqing rushed towards the core of the mountain with Shan Que. Ever since Shan Que arrived, he had become terrified.
nHe was always on guard against anyone around him, afraid that some mighty figure would jump out or touch someone else’s border. If he was caught, he would at least lose a layer of skin.
nLi Yuanqing was really fearless. He charged straight ahead and even crossed the mountainside from a thousand feet in the sky to the ravine between the two sides.
nThis boldness really frightened Shan Que. Fortunately, nothing happened. It was unknown if it was lucky or not, but they did not provoke anyone.
nAt this moment, other than the dense forest behind them, there was also a semicircular ravine that stretched for three hundred miles.
nThe long, narrow crack was hundreds of times wide, and there was always a cold wind blowing up from below. Gusts of wind kept surging up, and from time to time, a big gust would come, catching people off guard.
nThe violent wind howled and surged out. Shan Que did not dare to walk forward and only dared to hide behind Li Yuanqing.
n“Supremacy, we can’t pass through this place at all. You have to know that it’s because of such a natural barrier that they can live in peace for so many years.” Shan Que pulled Li Yuanqing’s clothes bitterly, wanting to dissuade him. “If the two of us pass through here, we will definitely die. Let’s go back.”
nLi Yuanqing ignored him. Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly sensed the situation ahead. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. This place was indeed as he had sensed just now.
nThis was the gap in the other party’s array formation.
nIt was unknown where the people of the Divine Fire Sect had obtained a powerful protective array, but it divided the entire sect into seven pieces, each piece relying on each other.
nAs long as any one of them was attacked or invaded by the enemy, the power from other places would flow over and form a certain protection.
nThe advantage of this array formation was that it could use the smallest power to form the strongest protection. It was also a very brilliant method.
nGenerally speaking, only someone with some ability could design such an exquisite array. If their array formation was completely activated, Li Yuanqing would probably have to retreat.
nHowever, they did not have much time to activate it. Instead, they had missed a lot of space.
nThere was nothing to say about the one at the main entrance.
nHowever, the two pieces behind it had very obvious energy loopholes. They had probably spent a lot of effort to completely set up this array formation in a hurry. It was too extravagant.
nLi Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction. His only obstacle now was the ravine in front of him.
nAlthough this natural barrier looked a little scary, Li Yuanqing felt that it was not impossible to cross.
nThis place was still very attractive to Li Yuanqing. On the one hand, the Divine Fire Sect had gathered materials wantonly and was defeated outside. It was so sudden that they definitely did not have time to move.
nOn the other hand, he had to find Master Wuyan and ask him to help him find these materials. Otherwise, it would be difficult to collect them all in the short term.
nWith these two conditions, Li Yuanqing’s motive was very sufficient.
nLi Yuanqing suddenly stretched out his arms. A wing suddenly stretched out from behind him and slowly grew larger. Finally, it grew to more than a hundred feet long before slowly stopping.
nLi Yuanqing waved his wings and a violent wind attacked out of thin air, almost blowing Shan Que away.
n“Supremacy!” Shan Que lay on the ground and barely stabilized herself as she shouted. Li Yuanqing said, “Supremacy, go yourself. I still have some things to do, so I’ll take my leave first. Goodbye!”
nJust as Shan Que was about to escape, Li Yuanqing suddenly turned around and glared at him coldly, scaring him half to death.
nShan Que complained in his heart. He could not imagine how he had met such a King of Hell. He still had Li Yuanqing’s Purple Flame in his stomach. If he forcefully escaped, he would probably die completely.
n“Supremacy! What did I do wrong? Why do you have to torture me like this? The astral wind here is so strong. If it pushes onto me, I won’t even have bones left. Just leave me alive.”
n“It’s fine. I’m protecting you. What do you have to worry about?”
n“Of course I’m worried. The strong winds in this canyon are so fierce that even mighty figures can’t pass through. It’s easy for them to die with their bones crushed. To put it bluntly, the two of us only have the strength to save our lives. If we force our way through, won’t we die?”
nLi Yuanqing ignored his dejected words and grabbed him.
nShan Que was helplessly treated as a child by Li Yuanqing. He could only pray in his heart that he was lucky this time and did not encounter the astral wind.
nLi Yuanqing was really fearless. No one who had heard of this place dared to barge in like this. However, he was not afraid at all. He summoned a pair of wings and flew over, looking like he wanted to barge in.
nIn the canyon, a black wind suddenly spiraled up into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
nAt this moment, Li Yuanqing had just flown halfway when the black wind rushed towards him.
nThis violent wind seemed to have a mind of its own. It gathered at a point and turned into a tip that stabbed straight at Li Yuanqing, determined to strike him down.
nSeeing this, Li Yuanqing suddenly waved his hand and a golden Dharma Idol appeared under him.
nThe Dharma Origin Idol stretched out its large hand and forcefully pressed down the canyon.
nThe black wind collided with the Dharma Origin Idol’s hand, and the ear-piercing friction kept wreaking havoc in their ears.
nLi Yuanqing took this opportunity to step on the head of the Dharma Origin Idol. His body turned into a sharp sword and he instantly rushed over.
nThe other astral winds also rose into the sky, trying their best to capture Li Yuanqing.
nHowever, the Dharma Origin Idol did not seem to feel any pain at all. It resisted the pressure below with one hand and stretched out its other hand, protecting Li Yuanqing’s path.
nLi Yuanqing appeared on the other side in a few flashes. The Dharma Origin Idol under his feet was like a human bridge.
nShan Que, on the other hand, stared blankly at the Dharma Origin Idol. He had never expected Li Yuanqing to have such a method. He could not sense where the array formation came from at all. Just looking at it made his heart tremble.
nHe had never thought that Li Yuanqing, a mere first-stage Supremacy, would have such strength. His movements were so smooth and decisive. More importantly, he had such a helper. Who was that god? Why hadn’t he seen him?
nHe hurriedly looked around, but he could not see anyone.
nAfter Li Yuanqing came over, he used another move and immediately summoned his Dharma Origin Idol back.
nThe moment the huge Dharma Idol disappeared, the violent wind below was completely unrestrained. It let out a strong roar and swept upwards.
nIn front of the two of them, the black wind turned into a Chaotic Demon King. Its dark body waved a huge black ax and kept roaring.
nHowever, no matter how he roared, his ax could only hit the edge of the canyon. If he wanted to walk out again, he would be blown away by the wind and nothing would be left.
nThis black Demon King of Chaos was so powerful that it frightened Shan Que. Fortunately, the destructive attack did not hit them in the end. This made him heave a sigh of relief. He looked at Li Yuanqing with reverence. Just now, he thought that Li Yuanqing was just an ordinary guy.
nHowever, Li Yuanqing’s image in his heart had completely risen to a new level.
nThis was simply a god-like existence. Why did such a mighty figure appear so low-key? It was really puzzling.
n“Supremacy Zhao!” Shan Que’s legs suddenly went limp and he knelt in front of Li Yuanqing.
n“Why are you doing this?”
n“Supremacy, calm down. I was confused for a moment. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. If you had said so earlier, I wouldn’t have been so frightened.”
n“I told you long ago not to panic. Can you blame me for that?”
nLi Yuanqing’s words really didn’t mean to blame him. But it frightened Shan Que.
nShan Que hurriedly explained, “Supremacy, please calm down. I was ignorant and didn’t see your powerful strength. I’m short-sighted.”
n“Enough.” Li Yuanqing waved his hand and interrupted his pleasantries. “Cut the crap. We still have something to do later. Follow closely later and don’t fall behind. If you take a wrong step, you will be consigned to eternal damnation. Do you understand?”
n“Supremacy, don’t worry. I will definitely follow you closely and not deviate at all!”
nLi Yuanqing glanced at him and finally said, “You better be like this.”
nAfter saying that, he flashed and crawled into a very dense bush in the dense forest ahead.
n“Supremacy, be careful! There are many array formations inside. If you’re not careful, you might step on a trap!”
nShan Que was still reminding him and hurriedly followed.
