Chapter 561 Arrival
Huo s.h.i.+chun pouted, as if he had hung an oil bottle by corners of his mouth. With his terrifying face, he scared Xuan An.
Even if Su Li saw him, she was also a little afraid. She said, “Fine, it isn’t the time to blame somebody. When will the spiritual boat restart?”
Huo s.h.i.+chun didn’t dare to be angry. He quickly changed his att.i.tude, and said with embarra.s.sment, “My Lord, the driving core of the spiritual boat is not damaged, but the original Tactical Matrix of Hunyuanzhou s.h.i.+eldon it was as high as ninth grade. If there is no high-grade tactical matrixguarding, the wind pressure under high speed would destroy the spiritual boat in an instant! But if the speed is low, it will be impossible to reach Shengxian Mountain in time. What should we do?”
“I don’t know how to set the Tactical Matrix of Hunyuanzhou s.h.i.+eld.”
When Huo s.h.i.+chun heard it, his expression was suddenly gloomy, and the trace of unrealistic hope in his heart was also gone.
The body of Lord Qingshui was full of youthful pneuma, and her cultivation was so high that she must also be a top figure among talents. She was obsessed with cultivation and wouldn’t be distracted from the tactical matrix.
“However, I can give it a try.”
As soon as these words came out, Huo s.h.i.+chun was taken aback, “My Lord, you…”
Before he asked, he saw Su Li throwing out a masterless flying sword glowing with a light blue halo, “Your flying sword was destroyed, and you suffered reversed effect. Go back to your room first, and come back four hours later.”
Huo s.h.i.+chun subconsciously took the flying sword. Coming back to his sense, he was shocked and stammered, “This…this is a Treasure Equipment. Gee!”
Xuan An was not surprised. His sister could even give away the Poisonous Power Insect, which was worthless. She must be rich. He immediately smiled and patted Huo s.h.i.+chun on the shoulder, “Don’t you thank Lord Qingshui right now? This time you hit the jackpot!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Huo s.h.i.+chun was awakened. He quickly clasped his fist and bowed deeply, “Thanks for Lord Qingshui’s gift!”
“Never mind.”
Su Li waved her hand unconcernedly. Her eyes fell on Xuan An. The latter immediately scratched his head and ran away, “I’m going to continue my practice! Sister, do as you please.”
He knew that his sworn sister was not only unpredictable in strength, but also had many secrets. She was definitely a covert big shot. Since she didn’t want some secrets to be known, he of course would not refer to them.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Huo s.h.i.+chun left happily, and Su Li was alone at the bow of the boat.
Su Li walked to the wooden disk that controlled the tactical matrix and sat down cross-legged. Her palm swept across the first tactical matrix, and then the black light rune flashed away.
“Huo s.h.i.+chun is right. The core is intact. I just need to add a protective tactical matrix rune.”
Su Li’s fingertips swept across the second charred disk, and a layer of sawdust was immediately removed from the surface, revealing the original snow-white wood color.
Su Li was astonished, “It’s actually a thousand-year-old spiritual pear wood, which can support the eleven-grade tactical matrix. It’s a pity that the surface of the spiritual pear wood disk is too small… Well, so be it.”
Thinking of this, Su Li picked up the spiritual pen to repair tactical matrix. When there were runes of divination in her pupils, there were runes appearing on top of the spiritual disk in an instant, and some of them drifted down like black snowflakes…
Four hours later, Huo s.h.i.+chun walked with the flying sword made from the initial refining and sweated profusely. Lord Qingshui gave him four hours, and he couldn’t be late.
But when he came to the bow of the spiritual boat, Su Li was not here.
“Huh, Lord Qingshui?”
Huo s.h.i.+chun patted his head. He thought about changing Lord Qingshui to the best room on the spiritual boat. It was unexpected that he didn’t meet her.
He muttered and walked to the spiritual disk, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the new black rune on the right of the spiritual disk. He was open-eyed instantly.
“New rune for the tactical matrix?!”
He hurriedly sat down to check it. Although he couldn’t figure out the tactical matrix on the spiritual disk with understanding of general tactical matrix, the new rune for the tactical matrix was integrated and more complex than before. It was not scribble definitely!
“Lord Qingshui is proficient in tactical matrix? She is above the ninth grade, so that…!”
Huo s.h.i.+chun’s eyes widened. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt. But he didn’t stop filling the spiritual stones into the core of the tactical matrix.
After a while—
Boom!
As soon as the spiritual boat soared into the sky, the transparent s.h.i.+eld instantly lit up.
“The reaction speed is faster than before, and…”
Huo s.h.i.+chun swallowed, and speeded up the spiritual boat. The s.h.i.+eld did not move at all and was much more stable than the previous ninth-grade tactical matrix!
“It’s really a tenth-grade tactical matrix!”
Huo s.h.i.+chun verified his thoughts. He was even more shocked, and looked back at the remote and closed door on the second floor.
He hadn’t even heard about such a powerful female pract.i.tioner. The talents among those holy sects should be like this.
Could the holy land rival the holy sects?!
“Then this Tianjiao Battle…”
Huo s.h.i.+chun was shocked, and suddenly, a thought that he had never dared to think of before popped up into his mind.
…
In the ensuing time, although the spiritual boat encountered bandits several times, they were not th.o.r.n.y, and Huo s.h.i.+chun had forced all of them to leave.
After just one day, everyone finally arrived at Shengxian Region.
Shengxian Region was extremely small. It was extremely compact compared with the other huge regions.
There was no sect in Shengxian Region. Except for the wasteland, there was a high mountain in its center that reached into the clouds, and the top of the mountain couldn’t be seen. That was the famous Shengxian Mountain.
A mottled stone wall stood in the ancient stone field on the hillside of Shengxian Mountain. From a distance, it looked like a rag hanging on the mountainside. If no one introduced it, the pract.i.tioners who came here for the first time would never know that the famous Tianjiao List in Qingshui Circle was exactly that “rag”!
“My Lord, here is Shengxian mountain.”
The sound transmission faintly floated from outside the door. Su Li slowly opened her eyes. The jade light flashed in her eyes. She felt the monstrous and surging power in her body, and muttered in a low voice.
“The peak of Yuanying Realm.”
After she broke into the Star Path in the Jiuzhou Region, her cultivation had reached the peak of Yuanying Realm from the early stage without encountering any hindrance.
Su Li was not surprised at this point.
Her soul’s realm and strength were far beyond those of the cultivation. Yuanying Realmcould only be regarded as acc.u.mulation. It was not difficult for her.
“Breaking into the Star Path has now become an obstacle to my cultivation.”
Su Li frowned.
Indeed, every time she broke intothe Star Path, she exhausted herself too much energy, and it was dangerous all the time.
However, she didn’t regret it.
Weren’t her strength and foundation that far surpa.s.sing the realm of cultivation obtained by breaking into the Star Path?
“However, I should accelerate, otherwise, if my cultivation reaches the realm of the great emperor, and I want to cross the realm of immortal, the natural moat, I should only break through my realm of cultivation, and transform from a mortal into an immortal. But my biggest problem now is not breaking into the Star Path, but…”
Su Li spread out her palms, and a ray of emerald color flowed through the middle of her palms.
Suiyu Tactics!
This mental method was indeed the treasure of the ancient times. Just by practicing to the second level, she could avoid the invasion of natural law. But… it was too time-consuming to explore with just the mental method without knowing the knacks.
However, what she lacked most was time.
“It is rumored that Shengxian Mountain has been also left from ancient times. I don’t know if I can gain anything.”
Retracting the palms, Su Li heard the call from outside. After putting on the disciple’s suits of Jiguang Sect and the veil, she opened the door.
“Lord Qingshui!”
“Lord Qingshui!”
“…”
When everyone saw Su Li, they all saluted in awe together.
Not least Huo s.h.i.+chun’s att.i.tude was even more respectful.
“Stop it.”
Su Li’s sleeves waved in the wind, and an invisible force immediately lifted everyone up.
“Dispense with the formalities. Elder Huo will lead this time. Don’t expose it.”
Su Li walked up to Xuan An and glanced over everyone here. She said with a gentle voice, “For the one who deliberately leak secrets, you should know the punishment more clearly than me.”
As soon as she said this, everyone looked a little scared, and then responded quickly. The disciples of Jiguang Sect and Wanjian Sect also nodded.
Seeing Su Li’s clothes, Elder Huo understood that she would take part in the Tianjiao Battle in person. He was shocked in his heart and smiled cheerfully, “In the battle of fighting Xueyin Bandits, Lord Qingshui saved my life and I am so grateful. We accept that.”
“It’s good.”
Su Li said with a smile, but there was coldness in her eyes.
It was time for holy sects to pay the bill.
After a while, the spiritual boat moored at the foot of Shengxian Mountain. Huo s.h.i.+chun led everyone out. Looking up, he could see the endless stream of spiritual boats in the sky, like meteor showers, falling everywhere in the wasteland.
“It’s less than ten days before the Tianjiao Battle starts. There must be full of people in the Shengxian City.”
Obviously, it was not the first time that Huo s.h.i.+chun had come here. He was familiar with the road and brought the crowd to a huge ancient city at the foot of the mountain.
“Isthere a city in Shengxian Region?”
Xuan An raised his head to look at the huge gate tower and exclaimed, “It’s so high. It is much higher than that of our Jiguang Sect!”
The others also admired the view. Not to mention the Shengxian Mountain that soared into the clouds, only the height of this city was enough to amaze them.
“Ha-ha.”
Huo s.h.i.+chun smiled, “Shengxian City is more than a kilometer high, and it is also a legacy from ancient times. Only Hengtian Ancient City of Tianhe Sect could rival it in Qingshui Circle. New visitors are all shocked by it.”
As Huo s.h.i.+chun was speaking, more and more pract.i.tioners were gathering in front of the city gate. Then he waved his hand, “I’ll talk about this matter after we enter. Let’s go there and line up!”
Su Li followed the crowd. When looking up at the obviously new plaque of the city gate, she looked serious. And Black Lotus chattered with shock in her ear.
“Shengxian City? It…is clearly Ecstasy Ghost Town of my Ghost Clan! And who named it Shengxian Mountain? It is the mountain of Lotus Immortal Cult! Tianjiao List… Isn’t it the w.a.n.gtian Tablet of Yuanfo Ancient Temple? The three factions of human, ghost and Buddhism could even come together harmoniously? What a mess!!”
Black Lotus was completely messed up, and Su Li could understand most of it.
“It is from the ancient sect… Maybe there will be news about Suiyu Tactics, and this ghost town…”
A beam of light flashed in Su Li’s eyes, and then she withdrew her eyes from the city gate. She did feel an extremely weak summoning force. But with the oddness of Ghost Clan, she was not sure if it was misfortune.
The guards of the city gates were the disciples sent by the top four holy sects, so the sects of Qingshui Circle didn’t dare to make trouble, and the whole team advanced orderly with a fast speed.
About an hour later, the people of Jiguang Sect approached the city gate. Huo s.h.i.+chun was about to submit the files of Jiguang Sect, but at this moment—
