Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 1044: Chapter 370: Assault on the Netherworld (Double-Length Chapter)_2

At the same time, in the regions around Shu Southern Qian State, the Great Tang cultivators once again engaged in battle with the Inner Mount Shu cultivators.

This time, although the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect and Netherworld Inner Mount Shu were archenemies, and the Mount Shu Sect Leader Zhang Taigang personally led the team, the true leader on the Great Tang side was the Clan Chief of the Jingxiang Fang Clan, the Ninth Heavenly Layer Great Scholar Fang Jingsheng.

Frequently mentioning the need to guard against Netherworld Inner Mount Shu, and now that they truly reappeared in the Great Tang Mortal World, the Jingxiang Fang Clan did not shy away.

With orders issued from the Tang Imperial Court in Luoyang, the Jingxiang Fang Clan immediately took action as a whole.

In addition to the Clan Chief Fang Jingsheng personally stepping forward, many experts from the Jingxiang assembled, showcasing the foundation of a great clan.

Though the senior patriarch of the Fang Clan, Fang Huansheng, remained to guard the ancestral grounds, and his eldest son Fang Zhu was currently in the Imperial Capital Luoyang, the Jingxiang Fang Clan was still teeming with experts.

The elder of the previous generation, Fang Shihan, who was of the same generation as Fang Hezhou.

The Third Gentleman of the Fang Clan, Fang Shantong.

The Third Lady, Ye Yue, from the Qingzhou Ye Clan.

The Fifth Gentleman of the Fang Clan, the most outstanding female Great Scholar of her generation, Fang Fei.

The Sixth Gentleman of the Fang Clan, Fang Du.

Leading other elders of the clan, as well as the new and mid-generation disciples, they joined the Clan Chief Fang Jingsheng in confronting the evil cultivators of Netherworld Inner Mount Shu.

However, once the battle commenced, it was not the Inner Mount Shu cultivators that initially captured their attention.

It was the disciples of the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect.

Before them, a faint golden light flickered, exhibiting a pure and positive Yang aura that instantly suppressed the customary Netherworld aura of death and desolation typical of Inner Mount Shu cultivators.

"That is..." The Third Gentleman of the Fang Clan, Fang Shantong, exchanged a glance with his wife Ye Yue.

In the distance, the voice of the Sixth Gentleman of the Fang Clan, Fang Du, came to their ears: "It should be the Pure Yang Magical Artifact that the Mount Shu Sect reportedly refined with the help of the Celestial Master Mansion and Pure Yang Palace, specifically to combat the evil cultivators of Netherworld."

The Inner Mount Shu cultivators were equally astonished.

Yu Hui was the direct disciple of the late Inner Mount Shu High Merit Elder Ding Chuan, and an outstanding sword cultivator among the current Middle Three Heavens cultivators of the Inner Mount Shu lineage.

His lifebound magical artifact, a Flying Soul Sword, was lethal and had claimed countless souls.

In the past, he had accompanied his mentor Ding Chuan and others to the Great Tang Mortal World.

Yet, before the battle reached its climax, Yu Hui had returned early to Netherworld for certain reasons, missing the final decisive Nanzhao confrontation that severely depleted the Inner Mount Shu lineage.

That battle saw the Tang Imperial Court react swiftly, mobilizing many experts, drawing the attention of Netherworld Inner Mount Shu.

It was the monks of the Sumi Vajra Division who, though suffering losses within the Great Yin-Yang Nine Palaces Immortal Array, still maintained formidable overall strength.

It was Tang Xiaotang, the Celestial Master of the Talisman Sect, who slew Taoist Kang An, injured the White Bone Divine Boat, and the Sect Leader Ji Yao.

Yet, the Netherworld Inner Mount Shu lineage had a limited evaluation of this branch of the Mount Shu Sect in the Great Tang Mortal World.

Even though it possessed treasures like the Purple Azure Twin Swords.

During the early stages of the battle, Yu Hui had faced the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect disciples and encountered their divine skills.

Though of good overall quality, they struggled against the deathly Yin aura that the Inner Mount Shu lineage cultivated over the years.

Yu Hui himself had used the Yin aura to assault the opponent’s spiritual soul, taking advantage of their full defense to injure them with his Flying Soul Sword.

If not for the timely support of other Great Tang Mount Shu Sect cultivators, his Flying Soul Sword would have slain them on the spot.

But now, facing another Great Tang Mount Shu Sect cultivator, the magical artifact the adversary revealed emitted a faint golden glow, like flickering flames.

Though ordinary spiritual fire posed no threat to Inner Mount Shu cultivators.

This faint golden flame, however, immediately quelled the aura of Yu Hui’s Flying Soul Sword, causing the previously unassailable Netherworld death aura to contract.

Specifically, Yu Hui was not entirely unfamiliar with the faint golden flame, recognizing it as Pure Yang True Fire.

But the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect had never before shown such creativity.

Was it with the aid of Pure Yang Palace and other Taoist Sect legacies?

What price did the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect pay to bow to them?

As these thoughts raced through Yu Hui’s mind, he entrusted his soul to the sword, merging it with his lifebound magical artifact, the Flying Soul Sword, intending to cut through the light and escape.

Yet the light flame expanded, forming a Heavenly Net from all directions, encircling the Flying Soul Sword within.

"Phew..."

The young elder Qin Baisheng of the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect let out a breath.

He had just recently broken through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer in recent years.

Thus, the magical artifact known as the Pure Yang Seven Treasures Helmet was newly crafted as his lifebound magical artifact upon reaching the sixth layer.

Without this, he would not be confident in containing the fierce Inner Mount Shu flying sword before him.

With threads of Pure Yang True Fire permeating, although successfully suppressing the opponent’s Netherworld death aura, the flying sword itself remained sharp, merging with Yu Hui’s spiritual soul, charging within the faint golden web.

Qin Baisheng let out a breath, not to relax, but to become even more serious.

Though the Pure Yang Seven Treasures Helmet was his lifebound magical artifact, he could not integrate completely with it like Yu Hui did with his soul to sword.

The spiritual soul of a Refinement Sect cultivator, though agile and graceful, was not the Yang God of an Alchemy Cauldron Sect cultivator.

When the soul was entrusted to a magical artifact forged by Pure Yang True Fire, it would not be burnt by its own lifebound magical artifact, but obstacles still remained.

Therefore, at this moment, Qin Baisheng had to focus entirely, exerting the utmost he could currently achieve, to control the Pure Yang Seven Treasures Helmet and suppress the opponent’s Flying Soul Sword.

Naturally, as the Pure Yang Seven Treasures Helmet constricted, the faint golden flame began to assault the Flying Soul Sword itself, causing it to tremble slightly in mid-air, even pausing at times.
