Chapter 803: Mount Yujing Has Revealed Itself?
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
On the top of Mount Baiyun, Yan Nanlai and the Qing Yi Holy Woman stood up. They looked serious. They noticed that something just happened in the void space above the Nine Heavenly Palaces.
The seemingly invisible, unknown and undetectable door that led to the realm beyond the Heavens started to jerk tremendously suddenly.
Following that, the formless light bridge converted from the Xuan Lin Holy Man revealed itself. As it twisted and change, it had reverted to the original appearance of the Xuan Lin Holy Man.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man also revealed a stunned look on his face. In the next moment, the door opening of the realm beyond the Heavens seemed to surface a strong absorption power. This caused the Xuan Lin Holy Man to be sucked in.
In the next moment, the door slowly closed. In void space, it disappeared.
"What has happened to the realm beyond the Heavens?" The Qing Yi Holy Woman’s expression turned ghastly. She tried to contact the Tai Yi Holy Man and the rest, but she did not succeed in doing so.
Yan Nanlai closed his eyes and tried to sense. After a while, he opened his eyes and his expression turned serious, "The avatars and physical spell bodies cultivated by Master and the rest have all gone missing."
"The absorption power from the realm beyond the Heavens was very weird. It did not seem to only suck Junior Xuan Lin in. I believe that as long as they were avatars or physical spell bodies, they were also sucked in by the realm beyond the Heavens."
The Qing Yi Holy Woman was silent for a while, before she said, "The Great Tao has reverted to its original state."
Yan Nanlai nodded his head, "I am afraid it’s as what you expected. But I wonder if it’s caused by Master and the rest, or was it caused by someone else?"
"We call this the Spirit Sea of the realm beyond the Heavens. Along with the Dead Sea, they have the most mysterious existence in the entire Grand Celestial World." He said, "Although the Great Void Sect has explored for many years, there are still many changes that we have not understood."
"Many years ago, the Heavenly Sea Hades caused the realm beyond the Heavens to seal off shut mysteriously. And now, the initiation of the Great Tao back to its original state has occurred. The reason behind both of these are difficult to predict."
Yan Nanlai peered over above the Nine Heavenly Palaces, at the unpredictable door. He revealed a hint of worry, "The most important thing is, because of this change, the realm beyond the Heavens has shut again."
It would be very difficult for us to unlock the door from the outside.
But Yan Nanlai and the Qing Yi Holy Woman could tell that the Tai Yi Holy Man and the rest were safe through the Light of Guidance (similar to the natal light that has been mentioned throughout the novel).
But if this carried on for long, it would mean that the Tai Yi Holy Man and the rest would be trapped inside the realm beyond the Heavens.
This was a bad thing for the Great Void Sect and the entire human cultivation world.
The Qing Yi Holy Woman looked at Yan Nanlai, "Only the both of us can know about this."
News of this could not be leaked. Otherwise, the entire Grand Celestial World would descend into chaos.
Yan Nanlai nodded his head without any hesitation, "I understand. We must restrict any news of this from leaking. If anyone from the sect enquires, we’ll just claim that they are retreating in void space."
After pondering for a while, he said, "If the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders has also entered the realm beyond the Heavens and is trapped there, will there be any changes over at the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"
The Qing Yi Holy Woman stood at the top of Mount Baiyun. She lifted her eyes up to look into the sky. After a while, she said, "Observe the situation at the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But most importantly, we have to keep tabs on the situation at the Barren Expanses."
Yan Nanlai answered calmly, "Don’t worry, Elder Qing Yi. The Supreme Heavenly Mirror and I will monitor the situation at the Barren Expanses. We will be aware if the Hades Tribe has indeed appeared on a large-scale again.
Right now, Lin Feng creased his brows as he looked at the two avatars and physical spell bodies in front of him.
He sensed and realized something was not right. The Spirit Sea seemed to have sealed off shut again. He wanted to leave, but he could not overcome the boundary powers.
"All the avatars and physical spell bodies that are connected to me have all been dragged here beside me. Even if I want to use the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm to substitute myself out, it’s not possible anymore."
Lin Feng retrieved the Barrier-Breaking Stone and the surface of the stone shone with a dim radiance. But at one end of the stone, the radiance was extremely dim.
When the Golden Cicada Master was thrown to the Barren Expanses using this stone, it caused the powers of the stone to be severely damaged. Even till now, it had not fully restored till its original state.
Lin Feng once placed the stone in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World and attempted to use the faster time in the world to heal the stone. But this stone seemed to have neglected the speed of time regardless where it was. It followed its own rhythm to recover slowly.
After observing for a while, Lin Feng realized that this stone followed the time of the Greater World. It seemed to neglect the time of the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World.
The Barrier-Breaking Stone was able to create boundary passages between two worlds. But as its powers were not fully restored, it was unable to shift the position of a person as it wished.
As he attempted, Lin Feng discovered that the Barrier-Breaking Stone was unable to re-open the space in the Spirit Sea. It might be able to transcend the barriers of the Spirit Sea, but it was unable to create a passage to another world.
While it could do so in the Ying Sea, it was helpless in the Spirit Sea.
Fortunately, according to Lin Feng’s calculations, the Barrier-Breaking Stone was not far from reaching its peak state again.
He kept the Barrier-Breaking Stone and continued to advance in the Spirit Sea. Waiting for the Barrier-Breaking Stone to regain its full powers was not his style.
Before the Barrier-Breaking Stone restored to its full abilities, if Lin Feng tried to communicate the Spirit Sea and cause it to open again, there might be greater hope.
"The only problem is…" Lin Feng’s continued to remain raised. That was because he could sense that even though his connection with Mount Yujing, Penglai Celestial Mountain and the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain still remained, it was becoming much slower.
Both the Penglai Celestial Mountain and the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain were both hidden in the various realms within the Ying Sea. There was still a lot of time before the three celestial mountains re-emerged. Since they did not re-emerge, it was nothing worrying if they could not be found.
But the only worry was Mount Yujing.
After Lin Feng was trapped by the realm beyond the Heavens, although his control of Mount Yujing still remained, his command and connection with it was greatly affected.
Right now, Mount Yujing had revealed itself from void space and descended in the Greater World. It floated around Mount Kunlun, in the sky above Yun Peak.
The normally hidden Mount Yujing had revealed itself!
Lin Feng managed to discover this through his connection with Mount Yujing. His first reaction was that, if anyone knew that he was trapped in the Spirit Sea, they might take the opportunity to trespass onto Mount Yujing. They would try to snatch control of Mount Yujing.
When that happened, even his allies might make their moves too.
But Lin Feng’s worries were alleviated soon. He discovered that some sort of barrier had cropped up with regards to his connection with Mount Yujing. But Mount Yujing had achieved a resonance with the space of the Spirit Sea. With the help of the Spirit Sea, if anyone dared to snatch control of Mount Yujing, the Spirit Sea would be activated to suppress the violator.
But his worry was that without him around, those who were on Mount Yujing were vulnerable to attacks by any enemies.
And right now, on Mount Yujing, the bunch of junior disciples were confused. But they were also unbothered, as they knew that Mount Yujing was controlled by Lin Feng.
Only a small commotion ensued on Yun Peak. But the commotion was soon over.
Whereas Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest were stunned. They called for a meeting at first notice.
"Master never mentioned that Mount Yujing will reveal itself." Luo Qingwu’s raised her brows, "However, it’s hard to tell because of his retreat into void space."
With Lin Feng’s previous instructions, even though they were confused, they remained as calm as usual.
Zhu Yi’s expression turned serious, "Mount Yujing has revealed itself so suddenly and Master is also in retreat. I believe that we have to be wary of any external attacks."
All along, the thing about the Celestial Sect of Wonders that had annoyed the other powers was that Mount Yujing was hidden in void space. It was very difficult to track its movement. It was always the case where Lin Feng went to block the mountains of the other sects and never the other way around.
After that, although the Yun Peak, Cloud Mirror City and the Celestial Wonders World appeared, which gave the Celestial Sect of Wonders some form of transparency to the others, it was still possible for the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ disciples to escape onto Mount Yujing if anything critical happened.
Taking a step back, although the Yun Peak and the Celestial Wonders World was developing well, the most important foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was Mount Yujing.
But now, Mount Yujing had actually revealed itself. This caused Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest to be worried.
The enemies of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were actually quite a lot. Among them, there were many powerful ones too.
If they were attacked, the consequences were dire.
Xiao Yan looked at his fellow Immediate Disciples and said seriously, "Let’s keep it normal outside and tight inside. Make it seem normal on the outside, but inside the sect, we have to maintain our secrecy and prevent any chaos from descending. We shall then wait for Master to exit from his retreat.
If they suddenly lowered their profile, it might be beneficial for their own protection. But that would be the same as telling the others that their own strength was weak. This would invite attacks.
But on the other hand, if they raised their profile, this would raise some eyebrows by the others.
The best way was to remain unchanged. This had the effect of baffling the others. But at the same time, internally, the discipline would be managed properly. This was to ensure that if anything changed, they would be able to react in time and protect themselves while preventing any unneeded casualties.
Things might not become so drastic, but Xiao Yan had the responsibility of protecting the entire sect in the absence of Lin Feng. He had no choice but to consider everything and ensure the safety of everyone.
Zhu Yi said, "Inform Third Junior and the rest to return quickly. For the other Successive Disciples who are out training, if they have nothing important, ask them to return to the mountain as soon as possible."
"As for the reason, claim that another round of internal competition for the Successive Disciples will be held."
Luo Qingwu nodded her head and immediately crushed a Voice-Projecting Crystal to contact Wang Lin and the rest.
The silent Li Yuanfang spoke suddenly, "We have to consider everything and plan for the worst. Everyone knows that the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain is in our hands. If someone tries to attack, he will aim for the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. If necessary, we can expose internally that we have the Penglai Celestial Mountain."
Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi nodded their heads. They looked at one another and laughed, "The time to test ourselves have come."
Among the Mount Shu mountains, six individual mountain peaks shot into the skies. They were like six huge swords.
Above these six mountains in the sky, there was even another mountain. It floated above the Nine Heavens. There was no support from below, but it was supported by the sword aura of the six mountain peaks as it floated.
On the peak of this mountain, there was a pavilion which was not that huge. A person in green was sitting there. His face was white and clean, while his facial features appeared ordinary. There was no sense of sword mind revealed from his body. Just that in front of him, there was an ordinary and long, green steel sword.
The person was Xin Longsheng, the leader of the Mount Shu Sword Sect.
His eyes were shining at this point as he looked in the northwestern direction, where Mount Kunlun was.
