Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

Chapter 1244 - 610: Three-Way Journey (2)

For those willing to spend a Soldier Repelling Coin, you can buy a printed version at Hidden Sword Manor, and the paper quality will be better. Speaking of which, I haven’t visited Nine Yin Mountain for a long time. Apparently, even the Sword Casting Array has been published now."

Chen Xuantian, "Ah, yes, indeed."

Huqian Mountain Man, "Ah... I’m getting old..."

"Ding."

Then the elevator arrived at the sixth barrier.

"Don’t go out yet; this level is a bit troublesome."

Chen Xuantian stopped everyone and pointed outside the door,

"What do you see?"

Ah Xiong quickly answered, "A Peach Forest."

Cloud Deer was puzzled, "A Peach Forest?"

Huqian Mountain Man remained silent for a long while before saying,

"Huo Lin Cave Heaven... Another Illusion Realm?"

It turned out to be so.

Chen Xuantian sighed, turned to look outside the elevator at the huge crater left by a nuclear explosion, the flattened ruins.

"As the saying goes, ’Among three people, there will always be my teacher.’ For this level, I’ll have to trouble the three of you to lead me through."

The three of them looked at each other, but there was nothing wrong with that, so they all stepped out of the elevator to lead the way.

Cloud Deer and Ah Xiong walked ahead, chatting and laughing, truly as if they had returned to the peach forests of their hometown.

Huqian Mountain Man and Chen Xuantian followed side by side, both with serious expressions,

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

Chen Xuantian thought for a moment,

"I have three perspectives."

"Oh? I’d like to hear the details."

Chen Xuantian looked at the ruins on the ground, the scattered bricks and stones, the humanoid charcoal stains, and slowly said,

"The first possibility is that, like the previous second barrier, it’s all an Immortal Palace Flow Illusion Technique Formation; everything is just special effects of light and shadow, all concealment methods. It’s just that the formation here is stronger, the effects more real, even to the point where I can’t see through it."

Huqian Mountain Man thought about it, looked at an empty corner visible only to Chen Xuantian, and slowly shook his head,

"No, I’m familiar with every plant and tree on Hutong Mountain, the Earth Vein, Spirit Plants, flying birds, and walking beasts, even the fluctuations of Daoist energy in the valley’s wind, I have a clear understanding in my heart.

A mere illusionary technique couldn’t possibly be done so realistically, even the details only I remember, are perfect without flaw."

Chen Xuantian also nodded, decisively dismissing this speculation,

"Then the second possibility is something the Divine Sect did."

"The Divine Sect?"

"Yes, the Divine Sect, though nine out of ten in the Divine Sect are some dim-witted folks, the top few should not be underestimated.

I heard in the supreme classic of the Divine Sect, the Blood Talisman Scripture, once practiced to the peak realm, there’s an utmost paramount Primordial Spirit Skill, specifically designed by the Divine Lord for Blood God’s Son Possession, capable of soul-seizing and possessing, infiltrating someone’s Divine Court, gradually stealing others’ Divine Souls, recreating them based on your memories. Once trapped in this endless Primordial Spirit Illusion Realm, one would unknowingly deplete all essence blood, ending up as a skin sack, used for Body Seizing Dao Body."

"Hmm, it still doesn’t seem right. Though the Blood God’s son’s great method is indeed terrifying, the Primordial Spirit Illusion Realm usually only affects individuals. If one person enters the array, they may be confused, but the four of us, each sees differently..."

Huqian Mountain Man suddenly froze, a terrifying thought sprang up in his mind, making his hair stand on end!

"Wait! You’ve been leading us here all along, could it be just to verify whether this place is indeed a Blood God’s Son Illusion Realm!? So, does that mean you’ve reached here for the second time already..."

Chen Xuantian quickly said,

"How could that be possible? You asked for my perspective, and I was just guessing."

Huqian Mountain Man was skeptical.

Cough cough, indeed, as one grows old, they become shrewd and guessed it.

Yes, this really was Chen Xuantian’s second time reaching the sixth barrier.

Previously, operating a drone to climb this spot, he couldn’t even see the ’array’s’ existence, stuck in the Illusion Realm without a way forward, in the end, pulling up Little Stutterer, barely using Shen Family’s Bright Sword Eyes to find the weakness and pass through.

But now, without Sword Eyes, Chen Xuantian could only rely on sensing with the Netherworld Spring, stepping on the trails left by it in the past, unsure if he could pass through again, let alone the cooperation in passing the barrier wasn’t completed, and what the last barrier might be was also uncertain.

So just in case, he brought several backups this time, also wanting to see if the Primordial Spirit Array would show any changes and reveal some weaknesses.

In short, Chen Xuantian diverted the topic,

"Then there’s the third possibility."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I don’t know."

Huqian Mountain Man glared sideways at him.

Chen Xuantian also spread his hands.

"I really don’t know. This might be something entirely new, something I have no understanding of.

After all, the world is vast, the heavens countless, the Taiji Realm has thirty-three Great Dao, so many mysterious Divine Skills and secret techniques, so many uncanny Qi Sect wonders, I am inadequately learned, how could I possibly know them all?

There are too many things in the world that are puzzling; the more you learn, the more you don’t understand; arriving at unprecedented places, encountering never-before-seen things, not knowing which direction to go is not normal? "

Huqian Mountain Man scratched his head and suggested,

"How about we set up an array and deduce it together?"

The other party’s suggestion was naturally referring to the Mystic Sect’s divination, two people jointly performing calculations, which is also a classic solution in the Mystic Sect for this kind of situation.

Chen Xuantian really knew this was the only option now, but after thinking about it, he still said,

"Even though our Mystic Sect has methods to calculate fortunes and disaster, to know the past and future, it is based on celestial timing, Feng Shui, and luck. The more parameters, the more accurate the calculation.

This pure unknown, an absolute mystery, with not the slightest clue or trajectory, relying solely on the intelligence of us mere mortals, how could we possibly find the way out?"
