153: 120 Sweeping or Looting_5 153: 120 Sweeping or Looting_5 Ling Xi bowed to the two and then headed towards the back courtyard, with Ai Yunqi and Lv Chaoqiong following closely behind.
Soon, Ling Xi ca to understand why this place was called the Divine Soldier Tomb.
Various weapons such as spears, broadswords, clubs, and hamrs were embedded into the earth, gathered together, looking indeed like a tomb of soldiers.
She also saw talismans scattered around, so with edges sharp enough to cut through the air, so with a hot energy, so exuding a calmness as profound as mountains…
Although these talismans had different auras, she felt there was sothing connecting them all.
She vaguely sensed that she was no longer standing on solid ground but amidst the void, with sixty-four trigrams appearing beneath her feet.
Hum…
Within the tomb, a talisman trembled slightly.
In a mont, it took flight, heading straight for Ling Xi.
“A talisman?” Lv Chaoqiong said with a surprised look, “But fortunately, it’s only one.”
No sooner had her words fallen than the second, third, fourth… countless talismans from within the tomb began to shine brilliantly, flying towards Ling Xi.
Ai Yunqi opened his mouth wide in shock and said with astonishnt, “This, this is…”
“Not good!
How can this be happening again?
With so many relics, how many final wishes are there?
How is she, a disciple, supposed to complete them?
If this goes on, will she even continue her cultivation?
Moreover, with so many insights into cultivation present, it can’t go on like this.” Lv Chaoqiong panicked, forming a hand gesture and chanting a calming spell.
“Eight Trigrams Lost Life, Ye Zheyan, Wandering Souls, Divine Light Leads the Way…”
Ai Yunqi heard the calming spell and his expression changed dramatically.
Without regard for the fact the other person was the leader of Hidden Dragon Observatory, he shouted, “Stop it!”
Too late.
Layers of visible ripples of qi had already begun to surge outward.
Suddenly, Ling Xi heard a series of sounds, like morning bells and evening drums, resounding deeply within her heart, snapping her back to full awareness.
She was still standing on solid ground, and the sixty-four trigrams had vanished from sight.
Before her, the talismans continued to fall, landing precisely on the positions of the sixty-four trigrams.
“How can this be?” Lv Chaoqiong was completely dumbfounded.
She had just awakened Ling Xi, so why were the talismans still flying towards her?
Previously, when Cao Zhen resonated with the divine soldiers, it was not like this.
When she had interrupted Cao Zhen, the resonance had stopped.
Hearing Lv Chaoqiong’s words, Ai Yunqi couldn’t help but rebuke, “You still ask why this is happening?
You almost ruined everything.
It’s fortunate that she wasn’t affected by you!”
“What do you an?” Lv Chaoqiong turned in astonishnt.
As the leader of the Hidden Dragon Observatory, she was respected by Ai Yunqi, despite his odd temper.
He had never criticized her so directly before.
“Do you know where those talismans co from?” Ai Yunqi pointed at the talismans falling beside Ling Xi and spoke, “These talismans may seem unrelated, but after consulting the records, I discovered that there are eighty-eight talismans here, which together form a single talisman nad the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman.”
“The Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman?” Lv Chaoqiong was profoundly shocked, “You, you an the one from the Second Generation Sect Leader, the True Person’s…”
“Yes, it’s the Second Generation Sect Leader, the True Person’s Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman.
Ordinary talismans disappear after use, but the True Person’s Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman is undying and can be used continuously.
It was also the most powerful treasure of the Second Generation Sect Leader, True Person.
Although it was damaged in a great battle, and the Second Generation Sect Leader was unable to repair it afterwards, no one from our Hundred Peaks Sect has been able to repair it ever since.
Yet, it remained usable and powerful, which is why it was placed in the Divine Soldier Tomb.
Now, finally, a disciple has caused the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman to resonate, and there’s hope to gather the sixty-four talismans.
But you were about to interrupt her.
Thankfully, she wasn’t affected, otherwise…”
“Otherwise, I would have been a sinner of our Hundred Peaks Sect,” Lv Chaoqiong said, feeling a chill of fear.
As the leader of the Hidden Dragon Observatory, of course, she wished the sect’s disciples to be strong.
Her interruption was due to her fear of affecting Ling Xi’s future cultivation.
Thankfully, it wasn’t a case of good intentions paving the way to hell.
“Hm?
Wait, why are there only sixty-three talismans?” Lv Chaoqiong’s gaze swept beside Ling Xi, and her expression suddenly changed, “Don’t tell my interruption affected her.”
“No, it has nothing to do with you; there were only sixty-three talismans left here to begin with.
Another talisman has been taken by Wu Jinhuan,” Ai Yunqi said, though he was speaking to Lv Chaoqiong, his gaze rested on Ling Xi.
Even if one was missing, the convergence of sixty-three talismans had ford one imnse Bagua talisman, with each talisman representing a trigram.
However, a piece seed missing from the ‘Li’ position, where the absent talisman should be.
Nevertheless, within this enormous Bagua talisman ford by convergence, one could faintly discern majestic mountains, rivers with rolling waves, deserts, and swamps…
Yet, the mountains appeared to have broken peaks, and the rivers seed to have segnts where the flow was interrupted…
Looking at the talisman before her, Ling Xi could feel the incompleteness even with the naked eye, and she knew very clearly how to nd the broken parts.
