Chapter 884: Chapter 865: Failing to Recognize the God
“It isn’t an Evil Formation?”
Everyone was taken aback; this is clearly a ghost wall. If not for so wicked array added to it, how could they not break it?
“Isn’t this a ghost wall?” Xuan Qingzi frowned and asked.
“Yes and no.” Qin Liuxi said, “If it were a ghost wall, your Master is at the Foundation Establishnt level, and even Master Chengyangzi is close to reaching Great Perfection. With your abilities, breaking a re ghost wall wouldn’t be impossible.”
Master Tai Cheng: Although it sounds like praise, it feels like an insult!
Chengyangzi was inwardly shocked, his gaze beca more cautious and respectful. She could even see through his cultivation, proving her cultivation was no lower than his.
She doesn’t look older than Su Ming, about sixteen or seventeen, and already reached Foundation Establishnt?
Chengyangzi glanced at his own disciple, having talent? Nonsense, you’re just a re speck that could be easily crushed!
Su Ming: “?”
Why do I feel disdain from my master?
Chengyangzi secretly envied Master Chi Yuan for his good fortune to have such a talented disciple, acknowledging the envy before looking gently at Qin Liuxi and asking, “May I ask what you an, young Daoist friend?”
“While we are trapped in circles, it’s not due to a ghost wall, but rather we’ve entered a small barrier. Unless we find the entrance and exit, we can only spin around inside this barrier.”
Everyone was baffled, a small barrier?
“Look behind you.”
They turned, and saw thick fog enveloping the area. Even though night has fallen, today the moon shines brightly enough to see so light, but now looking back, it was nothing but a vast expanse of white fog, making them blind to their path.
Indeed, they couldn’t even see the path they had co from.
“This…”
“To go back, you’ll have to open the entrance.” Qin Liuxi said playfully.
Everyone: Do you believe I might break my monk’s vows and curse? Is this really about the entrance problem? Clearly, we are trapped with no way forward or back!
“How is there a small barrier here, who set this up?”
“What you should be asking is, what does this barrier intend to block, and what is it hindering?” Qin Liuxi answered cryptically.
Su Ming was nearly in tears from impatience, saying, “Just tell us directly. Earlier, it was my mistake to underestimate you, thinking you were just a slacker. I had eyes but failed to recognize a divine talent!”
He crossed his arms in a Taoist gesture, admitted his mistake, and continued, “So can you give us a straightforward answer now?”
Qin Liuxi pointed with her leg, then looked at a certain location, saying, “You might want to reconsider this mission, it seems likely there’s no return. Do you wish to proceed?”
Everyone was astonished: “What do you an?”
“The part on the other side of the barrier is an entrance leading to the Land of Nihility.” Qin Liuxi said, squinting, “Entering is easy, but leaving is difficult. It’s for you to decide.”
So didn’t know what the Land of Nihility was, but Master Tai Cheng and Chengyangzi’s expressions changed dramatically.
“An entrance to the Land of Nihility is here? It’s said to be located in desolate areas, rarely populated. How could its entrance be here?” Master Tai Cheng’s face turned pale.
Qin Liuxi replied calmly, “The Land of Nihility isn’t just one place. Since it’s space is void, there are multiple entrances.”
Even she hadn’t expected an entrance here.
And Chengyangzi was busy explaining to those who didn’t understand what the Land of Nihility was—a lawless zone where you’d cry for justice in vain, not governed by the Underworld or Heaven, nor the mortal world.
“How do you know this is the Land of Nihility?” Master Changxing couldn’t resist asking.
Qin Liuxi shot him a glance, “Because I’m well-connected, loved by all. Soone gave a tip; I’m not like you.”
Master Changxing smacked his lips, “!”
Damn, this mouth of mine!
Master Tai Cheng coughed lightly, looked at Qin Liuxi, and discreetly extended a finger, while attaching a talisman—have so humanity!
Oh dear, this old man really is the cutest thing on earth!
Qin Liuxi continued, “This small barrier was set by the Mountain God of Golden Lotus Mountain, ant to prevent people from entering. As night falls, the entrance of the barrier closes, and it open again at dawn—it’s to protect people from entering and eting danger. But the entrance of the Land of Nihility requires even stricter prevention. Once entered, the barrier is useless.”
“Mountain God?” everyone exclaid.
“That’s not right. If this mountain has a Mountain God, how could there be so many bones scattered, with Yin Gathering Formations and Yin Soul Formations laid out? Why would the Mountain God sit idly by?” soone questioned, for no divine being would allow such evil on its land.
“A Mountain God exists as long as there’s belief in her divinity. Without belief, she disappears. Otherwise, what is your cultivation for? Isn’t it for the Dao, and for rit and Faith? Here, the Mountain God was abandoned after her shrine collapsed, fading from existence due to lack of faith. This barrier is a transformation of her last telekinesis, ant to keep the people from entering the Land of Nihility.”
When everyone heard this, they felt sowhat sorrowful.
Su Ming said, “But that’s not right. If the Mountain God set up this barrier, how did Heir Mu and the others manage to break through?”
“Didn’t you hear ‘her last telekinesis’?” Qin Liuxi said, looking at him as if he were an idiot, “What does ‘last’ an? It’s her remaining bit of divine power, capable of setting a small barrier, but it can’t last forever. As her divinity fades, so does this power. And she can’t sustain such a small barrier constantly. Do you think she’s still here, providing endless divine power to keep it up?”
Qin Liuxi flicked her sleeve, “Even clothes wear out over ti, and this barrier is no different. When it weakens, it disperses and can’t block anything. If you’re out of luck and hit the weakened barrier, bla it on your own bad luck.”
Got it, just say Heir Mu was unlucky!
Qin Liuxi felt a bit sad, “This small barrier won’t last much longer, likely just a year, before it disappears forever.”
She extended her hand, seeming to grasp a gentle thread of aura, so faint it could almost be ignored, wrapping around her hand unwilling to leave.
Everyone fell silent again, understanding what this ant. Once the small barrier vanished, it symbolized the Mountain God’s eternal disappearance from the world.
She existed, she gave, but no one knew!
Master Tai Cheng spoke, “The Land of Nihility, outside jurisdiction, is said to be ho to many evil ghosts unable to reincarnate. Although Heir Mu was likely caught, finding him in these woods is hard enough, let alone in the Land of Nihility, even more challenging. Fellow Daoists should think carefully. Guards needn’t enter; it’s a place beyond your reach.”
The twenty guards thought, even if willing, they wouldn’t take us, lest we hinder rather than help.
The rest of the Daoists hesitated, seeing Qin Liuxi’s mischievous look. They almost acted impulsively, declaring their devotion to the Righteous Path.
But Qin Liuxi dropped yet another bombshell, “Outside there’s a Yin Gathering Yin Soul Formation. Could it be soone inside the Land of Nihility is behind this? If Heir Mu is captured by those evil spirits, even if we find him, it will surely lead to a fierce battle.”
Everyone was sweating profusely.
