#429 - Soul Forbidden Ancestor
Li Chengfeng, unhurried, smiled and said, "Seniors, please don't misunderstand. I'm truly thinking of everyone.
How could I possess such abilities? If you misunderstand me because of this, how can you possibly leave this place? Currently, only I can undo this restriction; otherwise, all of you will be trapped here forever."
"Bah!" Yu Chun cursed loudly, "You fiendish devil, insidious and vicious, you nearly cost me my life. Although you didn't directly attack, you made us kill each other. I absolutely don't believe your words. Everyone, attack together and capture him to prevent future troubles."
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly: "You only understand now? Too late! You should all reflect on your actions."
Having said that, the pillar he was on suddenly opened its giant mouth and swallowed him. Then, the pillar crumbled and transformed into a restriction, and Li Chengfeng's figure vanished with it.
The Core Formation cultivators present looked at each other, horrified.
Duan Ning gnashed his teeth: "Did that bastard die?"
The monk Jingxin put his palms together and chanted: "Amitabha, this person is cunning and must have used a trick to escape.
We should still find a way out, or find him and kill him. He definitely hasn't escaped far, and is probably going to retrieve the treasure."
Everyone's gaze focused on Fairy Lingyan. She said helplessly, "I can only try my best to break the restriction."
She knew clearly that if she didn't cooperate, the four Core Formation cultivators, whether human or demon, would join forces against her.
Thinking that all of this was caused by that detestable Insect Demon, everyone felt resentment in their hearts.
However, now that things had come to this, complaining was useless.
Fairy Lingyan took out a formation plate and focused on deducing. Soon, she said angrily, "Damn Insect Demon! He destroyed all the formation mechanisms, leaving no way out.
No one but him can leave. He didn't break the formation, but strengthened the restriction, using the power of slaughter here to set up his own formation. He controls this power at will, while we are like birds in a cage."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Monk Jingxin said, "Fellow Daoist Lingyan, we still need to rely on you for all of this. No matter what, we must leave here first. I always feel that this place is fraught with danger."
Yu Chun echoed, "Indeed, I always feel that something is strange. After we came in, we neither found any magic treasures nor accidentally entered this strange hall."
Everyone immediately fell into contemplation, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this matter was extraordinary.
They realized that being able to come to this place seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, and the only clue was Chong Mo using one finger to break the restriction and take away the power.
If not, the restriction might have mutated, and their lives would also be hanging by a thread. This was clearly a carefully arranged trap.
Fairy Lingyan frowned tightly and comforted, "Everyone, don't worry. I'll try to unlock the restriction here and find a way out. Everyone, follow me closely, and don't give up until the very last moment."
She added, "I believe the Insect Demon has already escaped. This place is heavily restricted, and it will be difficult for him to stay for long."
Everyone nodded slowly upon hearing this.
Duan Ning said gnashing his teeth, "After we get out, we must capture him and tear him to pieces."
The two demon Core Formation cultivators also said fiercely that they would put aside the grievances between the human and demon races, cooperate to catch Chong Mo, and let him live the rest of his life like a maggot.
While they were angrily cursing here, Li Chengfeng followed the path to another place.
Stepping into it, he finally discovered the sealed land. This seal was similar to the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation, although its power was slightly reduced, it was still powerful.
The Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation used the power of the five elements to arrange the layout, while this place used the power of the three talents to set up the formation. It lacked two kinds of power, but its power was still considerable.
On the huge seal, layers of restrictions were nested together, obviously sealing a restriction and a picture.
The picture was a portrait, and the old man in the painting was lifelike, as if the restriction itself had outlined it.
Every stroke, every line, revealed a profound Dao rhythm, making people marvel.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "What a good place."
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and the power that erupted between his fingers seemed to be bound by the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation. It seemed that he was about to display this power, like a double insurance, containing both the power of the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation and superimposing his own seal.
Suddenly, the old man in the painting opened his eyes and sighed softly, "I never thought that besides my second disciple Qing Ning, there would be someone else who understands the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation. Are you his disciple?"
Li Chengfeng slowly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I knew that the game you set up was not simple.
What exactly is your purpose? You might as well say it directly, maybe I can help. Everyone gets what they need, how about that?"
The old man changed his tone, "If you hadn't used the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation, I would never have believed half of what you said.
But at this moment, I think your words make some sense.
I have been watching your every move. It's just a pity that I am sealed here, and the power that leaks out is limited, and I can only use part of my power for the outside formation.
And you, weakened this power with the Soul Severing technique, making me only sigh in vain."
Li Chengfeng smiled again: "When I first came here, I felt that it was strange.
I wonder which expert sealed you here? Ten thousand years ago, among the formation masters I knew, Old Ancestor Nine Xuan was one, but this method doesn't seem to be his doing."
The old man in the portrait continued: "When it comes to forbidden formations, I, Old Ancestor Jin Hun, am the best.
I have two disciples, Nine Xuan and Qing Ning, both of whom are my proud students.
Later, Nine Xuan's strength greatly increased, and he actually sealed me, seized my power, and merged with the Divine Sense Insect to pursue immortality.
He thought that Qing Ning had ascended to the Spirit World, but that was not the case. Qing Ning valued love and righteousness, and did not ascend on the planned day, but returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors.
When she returned, she saw that I had suffered this disaster, mistakenly thought that I had passed away, so she sealed Nine Xuan and the Divine Sense Insect separately, one in the Ghost Qi Spring, using the power of evil ghosts to suppress it; one in the depths of the seabed, and then she ascended."
Li Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Impossible, the road to the Spirit World has long been cut off, how could she ascend?"
Jin Hun replied with a smile: "The normal route has indeed been sealed, but there are still other paths, which are extremely dangerous. Only formation masters dare to involve themselves in the spatial turbulence.
He used the Five Elements Self-Sealing Formation to step into the turbulence, intending to ascend to the Spirit World."
Li Chengfeng gasped when he heard this, half-believing and half-doubting Old Ancestor Jin Hun's words, adding a bit of mystery to the matter.
"Senior," Li Chengfeng asked, "Do you know about the upper and lower parts of the Nine Xuan Dragon Formation?"
Old Ancestor Jin Hun said: "That formation was created by my second disciple Qing Ning. The Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation was also stolen by the traitor Nine Xuan.
Nine Xuan's aptitude is limited, and he can only get a glimpse of it. In order to survive, he actually merged with the Divine Sense Insect, embarked on a wrong path, and continued his life by devouring the divine senses of others.
In order to protect the peace of the human world, Qing Ning sealed him, thinking of the relationship between fellow disciples, and did not kill him.
The divine senses of the souls of the dead in the Hailian Sea occasionally came, barely maintaining his vitality. It was not until thousands of years later that I gradually woke up in the Jin Hun Hall."
Li Chengfeng suddenly understood, but did not fully believe it.
He had many doubts in his heart, and the identities of Old Ancestor Nine Xuan and the Divine Sense Insect were confusing. How could Old Ancestor Nine Xuan be hidden in the Ghost Qi Spring?
His eyes were like torches, secretly speculating: "Could it be that Old Ancestor Nine Xuan is deliberately fabricating a story? Or is there really an Old Ancestor Jin Hun?"
His thoughts were chaotic, and even a smart person like him felt powerless in the face of hundreds of thousands of years of mystery.
However, all of this has nothing to do with what he is currently seeking. He only wants to use the power here to break through to the Core Formation stage.
