Unrivaled Medicine God, page 221
"Right here!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Mo Yuntian did not know what Ye Yuan had up his sleeves and could not resist asking, "Junior Brother, what are you trying to do?"
"Hur hur, Senior Brother must watch well in a while!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
With a clink, Canghua Sword was drawn!
Swish! Swash! Swoosh!
Ye Yuan's longsword danced, sparks flying in all directions, and stone rubble falling profusely!
After a moment, a 'sword' character gradually took form!
Mo Yuntian looked at that plain and unremarkable 'sword' character but remained very baffled still.
This sword did not seem to have many extraordinary aspects, right?
Swapping Mo Yuntian to carve himself, he could similarly do it. It was at the very most the standards of Spirit Condensation Realm.
Ye Yuan tiptoed and bounded up lightly. In an area ten feet above, he inscribed the next 'sword' character once more!
He did not pause, leaping up another ten foot, engraving another 'sword' character again.
Mo Yuntian still did not make out what remarkable aspects this character had. At most, it was slightly harder than before.
Ye Yuan jumped higher and higher. The 'sword' character on the huge boulder became increasingly more as well, while Mo Yuntian's face gradually became solemn!
By the time Ye Yuan carved the sixth 'sword' character, Mo Yuntian finally knew what Ye Yuan wanted to do!
Could it be that Ye Yuan wanted to use the method of inscribing characters to engrave his comprehension of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art all onto this huge boulder?
With a thought up to here, Mo Yuntian no longer dared to slight it, gluing his eyes on the sword in Ye Yuan's hand!
Although Mo Yuntian charged out of the Nine Heavens Road, his comprehension towards the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was not considered too profound. It was even inferior to Tian Yu's to some extent.
With such an opportunity to view and emulate, how could he possibly let it slip by?
The 'sword' character on the huge boulder became increasingly more, and also progressively more deep and profound. Mo Yuntian actually had a feeling of being unable to keep up!
Ye Yuan was using the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art to inscribe the characters. The concept within the characters, Mo Yuntian understood fully. But he suddenly discovered that in his understanding towards sword intent previously, many areas were actually wrong!
By the time Ye Yuan carved the 21st 'sword' character, Mo Yuntian's head felt as if it had exploded, and he actually had a feeling of suddenly seeing it in a whole new light!
Ye Yuan started engraving from Spirit Condensation Realm sword intent. By the time it reached the 21st word, it was already the Third Level Sea Transformation sword intent.
And Mo Yuntian's present sword intent comprehension was already stuck here for very long!
When Ye Yuan's 21st 'sword' character's final stroke was completed, Mo Yuntian actually felt his mind clear up, his chest incomparably free from inhibitions!
The dense fog which was stuck there for a long time was like being dispelled and seeing the sun. It was as if suddenly seeing the light!
At this time, Mo Yuntian's eye did not even dare to blink, fearful of missing any one of Ye Yuan's actions!
But starting from the 22nd character, Mo Yuntian began to have a feeling of having difficulty comprehending. He gradually started to fall behind Ye Yuan's rhythm.
By the time Ye Yuan inscribed until the 24th character, Mo Yuntian already could not make head or tail of it.
He only felt that each 'sword' character had sword qi crisscrossing, giving people a very sharp feeling.
By the time Ye Yuan carved the 28th character, Mo Yuntian suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood with a puff.
This was a sword intent belonging to the Soul Sea Realm. It had already completely exceeded Mo Yuntian's limits.
Because Mo Yuntian had been moving up Ye Yuan's sword intent the entire time, Soul Sea Realm's sword intent was already fully not what he could endure.
At this time, Mo Yuntian moved his eyes away quite reluctantly.
He did not dare to look on. If he continued looking, he would be killed by Ye Yuan's sword intent.
Ye Yuan's current realm was already about the same as his. If Ye Yuan really attacked him, he would not even need to draw his sword.
This was the disparity between Ye Yuan and him!
Even so, Mo Yuntian's gains today was undoubtedly enormous!
Clank!
When the 45th 'sword' character finished being inscribed, Ye Yuan floated down, landing in front of Mo Yuntian.
Mo Yuntian took a look at Ye Yuan and could not resist sighing as he said, "To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's sword intent has actually reached such a terrifying extent already!"
Towards Ye Yuan, Mo Yuntian felt admiration from the heart.
He knew that he and Ye Yuan were people from entirely different worlds. Comparing simply did not hold meaning at all.
Thinking this way, Mo Yuntian became open-minded instead.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I only have Eighth Level Crystal Formation strength at present. Sword intent after Crystal Formation Realm completely can't reach a corresponding degree. But in the short run, it's enough to let my fellow apprentices comprehend the concept."
Actually, Ye Yuan's comprehension towards sword intent was far from this. But with these 'sword' characters, he only used the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art to inscribe them.
If Ye Yuan used the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Intent to inscribe, Mo Yuntian would most likely not be able to understand even at the Spirit Condensation Realm level.
The concept of supreme true intents was simply not what Lower Realm martial artists could comprehend.
Mo Yuntian's gaze could not help looking towards those 45 'sword' characters again, only to see that each 'sword' character was entirely different. It could be said to each have literary excellence.
Mo Yuntian knew that this was caused by the concept contained in each character being different!
Seemed like he was still a long way off on this road of comprehending true intent!
"If my conjectures are correct, there are probably still two months before the realm passageway will link up together. During this period of time, you'll let the seniors and juniors to come here to comprehend sword intent then," Ye Yuan said.
Chapter 454. Tier 4 Array Master Taking the Field! |
The Heavenly Sky Sect's main hall already became the Purple Mansion Sect's main hall now.
Ever since the Southern Domain's Sect Great Meet, the Purple Mansion Sect occupied another person's land, treating here as their base camp.
But at present, the atmosphere in the main hall was rather stifling.
The death of Grand Elder Ma Yi caught everyone in the Purple Mansion Sect by surprise, including Sect Master He Mingde.
He Mingde had the appearance of a middle-aged man. Each and every action had the air of a grandmaster.
But he had a sinister and ruthless air at his glabella, which ruined his temperament.
The Southern Domain today, everyone knew that He Mingde was somebody who was highly adept at enduring hardship and ridicule. Being in the position of sect master for so many years, he only showed others the visage of First Level Soul Sea Realm.
All the way until that so-called Southern Domain Sect Great Meet, did he astound the world with a single brilliant feat, suppressing all the sect masters and grand elders.
Today's Southern Domain could be said to be his world alone.
It was just that this present Southern Domain's number one encountered a significant problem.
At present, the remaining six great sects, there was already five great sects thoroughly devastated. Only the weakest Tranquil Cloud Sect dealt a head-on blow to the Purple Mansion Sect instead!
"The matter of the Tranquil Cloud Sect killing Ma Yi using the sect protecting grand array, what views do all of you have?" He Mingde said calmly, unable to perceive his emotions currently.
"If I had to say, Ma Yi was definitely careless. That's why he was ambushed successfully by those Tranquil Cloud Sect trash! The sect protecting grand array easily exterminating a Soul Sea Realm martial artist. If this spreads, wouldn't it become a joke?" said a Soul Sea Realm grand elder.
"Yeah. The Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array is a low-rank Tier 4 array formation. To say that Ma Yi could not breach it, I believe that. But to say that he was dispatched easily by the grand array, I won't believe it even if I'm beaten to death! In-between this, something that we don't know about must have happened!"
"Sect Master, let me bring people there. We'll crack that formation in no time and exterminate all of those little thieves!"
A dozen over Soul Sea Realm elders all tried to get a word in. Most did not believe that the Tranquil Cloud Sect's grand array could easily kill Ma Yi.
The prowess of Soul Sea Realm was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone was also well aware of the Eight Great Sect's ins and outs.
The eight sect's sect protecting grand array could only defend the attacks of middle-stage Soul Sea at the most. But how could it be that easy to want to kill Ma Yi?
Let alone that the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not even have Soul Sea Realm martial artists holding down the fort right now.
But He Mingde was vexed hearing this and said with a wave of his hand, "All shut up for me! What impossible to kill? Could it be that Ma Yi's corpse is molded out of clay by the disciples? Can you all use your brains to think properly? His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is about to open up the realm passageway soon to launch the holy war. If we can't rule the Southern Domain, as the land of foundation for His Majesty to personally descend upon the Endless World, all of us are going to be in serious trouble!"
Hearing these words, everyone immediately shut their mouths sensibly.
The wind emperor laying blame was not some laughable matter.
At this time, a blue-robed old man suddenly stood up and said with He Mingde with clasped hands, "I wonder if Sect Master has questioned Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng before whether or not the Tranquil Cloud Sect still has a third Soul Sea Realm expert?"
He Mingde said, "That's of course! I specially told this news to the two of them. After they heard it, they looked stunned too. It was absolutely not feigned. Very clearly, they were also very surprised by this incident happening! Then I'm puzzled. Who in the world is controlling the array formation? To actually have such might?"
The blue-robed elder said with a frown, "Since the Tranquil Cloud Sect doesn't have a third Soul Sea Realm martial artist, then could it be that . . . the Northern Domain's Three Sects already discovered our true identities?"
He Mingde shook his head and said, "Impossible! For the sake of this day, I've already made perfectly sound preparations! Long before taking action, I already sent people to the Myriad Sword Sect to bow our heads in submission and acquiesce, and also promised huge benefits. They won't intervene in the Southern Domain's affairs!"
"Then . . . could it be that it was a wandering formation path expert who just happened to pass by the Tranquil Cloud Sect?" said the blue-robed elder with a frown.
He Mingde let out a sigh and said, "Right now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect huddled up and refuses to come out. We completely can't get any news! But no matter what, we also can't let those stragglers and remnant troops from the Tranquil Cloud Sect to gain a firm foothold! Elder He Jun, the matter of cracking the formation is entrusted to you!"
The blue-robed elder bowed and said, "To render service to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, He Jun will naturally do all I can! It is just a Tier 4 grand array. This old man will make them exist in name only!"
He Mingde nodded his head and said with a faint smile, "With Elder He Jun's strength, this He can still count on it! You're a middle-rank Tier 4 Array Master. If even you are helpless, then nobody in the Southern Domain can crack this formation. However . . . for the sake of being conservative, let Liao Wenguang go together with you. You guys can also look after each other! Remember, as long as the grand array is broken, kill every person regardless!"
Right then, another Soul Sea Realm elder stood up and said, "As you command!"
This Soul Sea Realm elder was shockingly a Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm martial artist!
A middle-rank Tier 4 array master coupled with a Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm martial artist, this line-up could be rated as luxurious to the Southern Domain.
. . . . . .
At Towering Peak, Heavenly Sky Sect.
This was the place that imprisoned the various sect's sect masters and grand elders.
These people's essence energy seas all had restrictions imposed and completely could not muster up essence energy. Right now, they were no different from a cripple.
Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng were locked up together. The Purple Mansion Sect was not worried that they would do anything funny either.
"Martial Uncle, who do you think . . . came to our Tranquil Cloud Sect?" Luo Qingfeng asked with a frown.
"The sect's upper echelons were practically caught in one fell swoop. I really can't think of who has such capabilities in the sect still. To actually be able to obstruct the Purple Mansion Sect's cavalry!" Skymaple was evidently unsure either.
Luo Qingfeng said, "Although He Mingde only came to probe us and didn't say what happened. From his expression, it can still be made out that something major must have occurred!"
He Mingde only asked if the Tranquil Cloud Sect still had Soul Sea Realm experts existing and did not tell the two of them about Ma Yi's death.
But what kind of person was Luo Qingfeng?
He already knew many things from examining the speech and behavior!
Skymaple shook his head and said, "Even if something big happened, with He Mingde this Seventh Level Soul Sea Realm here, what use is there? My Tranquil Cloud Sect's destruction is just something inevitable."
Luo Qingfeng suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice as he said rather excitedly, "Martial Uncle, do you think that it's . . . Ye Yuan returning?"
Skymaple was also startled in his heart. He immediately shook his head and said, "If he wanted to come back, he would have returned long ago! Didn't you hear during the Sect Great Meet? Not a single person who went to the mystic realm came back! Several months already passed by. The hope of Ye Yuan returning alive is too slim! Moreover, even if Ye Yuan really came back, he also can't possibly be the Purple Mansion Sect's match. He Mingde is a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse."
Hearing Skymaple analyze like this, Luo Qingfeng was also very downcast.
The two people exchanged a glance, and both revealed bitter remorse.
As long as they were given a few years' time, Ye Yuan would surely be able to grow up.
But now . . . everything became empty!
"Sigh . . . To think that the Tranquil Cloud Sect's thousand-year foundation was actually ruined in our hands! What face do we have to go and meet our forefathers?!" Skymaple said with an emotional sigh.
Chapter 455. Tranquil Cloud Sect Has a Soul! |
"Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye! A disaster is imminent!"
A Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple ran into the Tranquil Cloud Sect's main hall, looking very nervous.
"It's Junior Apprentice Brother Zhao Xin huh. Is there any news from outside?" Ye Yuan enquired.
Zhao Xin said hurriedly, "The Purple Mansion Sect sent out several thousand martial artists and are marching for the Tranquil Cloud Sect in mighty contingents!"
"Haha. Don't Junior Apprentice Brother Zhao Xin have faith in the might of the grand array? Forget about thousands of martial artists. Even if tens of thousands of martial artists came, they would not return either!"
"But . . . But this time, the commanders are a Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm, Grand Elder Liao Wenguang, and a Tier 4 Array Master, He Jun! I fear . . ."
When Zhao Xin got hold of this news, he was terrified until his legs turned soft.
Tier 4 array masters were very terrifying existences. They were the bane of a sect's protective grand arrays!
Even if they could not crack the formation, they could also find the grand array's weak links, and they could even diminish the grand array's power.
Coupled with the brute force of a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, breaking the formation did not seem to be something so difficult.
This way, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be in danger!
No matter how powerful the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array was, it was also just a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array. It did not transcend the category of Tier 4 array formations.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples never would have thought that the Purple Mansion Sect actually still had the existence of Tier 4 array masters.
This Purple Mansion Sect truly concealed too deeply!
Before this, while the Purple Mansion Sect was known as the Southern Domain's number two great sect, they actually only had five or six Soul Sea Realm experts too. The strongest was just Third Level Soul Sea.
This time, the Purple Mansion Sect displayed all of their might.
Compared to the Purple Mansion Sect, the Heavenly Sky Sect was simply weak to the max!
Not only were they completely surpassed by the Purple Mansion Sect in the number of martial artists, but in terms of quality, they were a great deal weaker too.
And now, the Purple Mansion Sect even sent out a Tier 4 Array Master. This was truly hopeless until it made people go nuts.
Tier 4 Array Masters were the same as Alchemy King experts. They were all exceedingly rare existences in the Southern Domain.
Before this, only the Heavenly Sky Sect had a Tier 4 Array Master. The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples had never heard before that the Purple Mansion Sect had a Tier 4 Array Master!
A few days back, Zhao Xin and the rest were sent out by Ye Yuan to fish for information. Who knew that they would get hold of such a heavyweight news all at once.
The first thing that Zhao Xin did when he got the information was to return to the sect without stopping to report this matter to Ye Yuan.
