After leaving the Mysterious Stream Village, Zheng-Fu and Elder Hai-Tu had to continue their journey for almost two hundred lis to reach the entrance to the Artsy Water Sect. It only took them one shichen to arrive.
With the energy levels of both of them being up to the high level of the Immortal Soul martial master, traveling just a hundred or two hundred lis was no problem. They could arrive within a short ti at the highest speed over the entire distance.
"Zheng-Fu Kid, here is the entrance to the Artsy Water Sect that I told you about," as soon as they arrived, Elder Hai-Tu imdiately said that in front of them was the entrance to the Artsy Water Sect.
Huh...?
"Here?"
Hearing Elder Hai-Tu say that they had arrived, Zheng-Fu imdiately looked around at the ntioned place, only to find that in front of him was just a tall, flat cliff with huge letters engraved on it. And those letters were written only as 'Cultivation Courtyard.' There was no other word for the Artsy Water Sect at all.
"Elder, are you sure it's here? I can't see any entrance gates at all," Zheng-Fu imdiately asked suspiciously as he looked around but could not see any secret entrance.
"If you were only using your naked eyes, you wouldn't be able to see it. You also know that the Artsy Water Sect is most famous for its magical spell patterns. So, this entrance..."
"Is this a moving dinsion entrance?" Hearing this, Zheng-Fu's eyes imdiately lit up as he asked with interest.
Ah!!!
"This kid always interrupts when I'm talking. Damn it! That's right. This is an entrance gate with a moving spell pattern sealed on it. The other end of this gate is inside the Artsy Water Sect," Elder Hai-Tu complained to Zheng-Fu a bit about how he liked to interrupt him before explaining to Zheng-Fu about this spell gate.
"There really is this place. It really exists!" At this mont, Zheng-Fu did not care about anything other than the flat cliff in front of him, with his feet unconsciously stepping forward, like a child who had found a toy and was desperate to get it.
"Wait, wait, kid! You can't go in like that..."
Booooom!!!
"Wha... what... what happened? Who? Who dares attack !?"
Before the elder could finish speaking, an explosion sounded at the spot where Zheng-Fu had walked to. But with Zheng-Fu's nimble sense, he was able to narrowly dodge it. Anyway, even if he did not dodge, he would not be hurt at all because his body skill was already at the third stage.
The explosion just now was as powerful as the normal high level of the Immortal stage, which was unable to do anything to him.
"Zheng-Fu Kid, are you alright?" Elder Hai-Tu rushed over to Zheng-Fu, imdiately asking about his condition, and seeing that Zheng-Fu was fine, Elder Hai-Tu continued, "What are you doing? You'll be hit by a trap and die, suddenly walking in without thinking like this," Elder Hai-Tu scolded Zheng-Fu seriously.
"A trap? The attack just now was a trap? Huh... There were spell patterns all over the ground. So, what I stepped on just now were these spells, right?" Zheng-Fu's face changed as he realized that he had made a huge mistake by stepping on the spell traps that he could see easily.
"Zheng-Fu Kid, I know you are in a hurry and want to reach the Artsy Water Sect quickly, but you should be more careful. There's no secret place unprotected," Elder Hai-Tu imdiately warned him warmly as he saw Zheng-Fu had stepped back.
"I understood, Elder Hai-Tu. I was just a little absent-minded, so this kind of thing happened. But you don't have to worry; these spell traps can't do anything to ," Zheng-Fu imdiately bowed his head and apologized to Elder Hai-Tu, feeling guilty for what had happened. But after he finished speaking, Zheng-Fu stepped forward again.
Huh...?
"You just repent, and why do you... Ah!?"
But before Elder Hai-Tu could finish speaking, Zheng-Fu had already co to a stop in front of the flat cliff with large letters engraved on it, without urging the existing spell trap to work, as if this area were his house's back garden, where he regularly walked.
"Elder, how long will you be standing there? I've got to hurry to the Artsy Water Sect!" As soon as Zheng-Fu got there, he turned around and called out to Elder Hai-Tu, who was standing there with a puzzled expression on his face. Zheng-Fu smirked at the corners of his mouth as if joking.
"You!!!"
In the blink of an eye, Elder Hai-Tu stopped beside Zheng-Fu at an incredible speed. But it was still much slower than Zheng-Fu. When he arrived, Elder Hai-Tu imdiately asked with a questioning look, "Hey, Zheng-Fu Kid, you have knowledge of the spell patterns' characters, don't you?"
"Quite a bit. But it's enough to solve the imdiate problem," Zheng-Fu replied with a shrug and a sly smile at Elder Hai-Tu.
"What do you an 'quite a bit'? If you can walk through a lot of difficult and complicated Immortal to Immortal Soul spell traps like this, your knowledge shouldn't be defined as 'quite a bit'!" Elder Hai-Tu felt a little enraged, hearing Zheng-Fu's reply that said that he only had quite a little knowledge.
No one with quite a little knowledge would be able to get past these spell traps if he did not loosen the spell first or know the blind spot of the spells, which, besides the sorcerer at the grand master class and above could never do it. Even for a high-level master sorcerer like the elder, it was difficult to get past it.
Because more than ten spell traps cast here were Immortal Soul spells, other than the Immortal Soul sorcerer, no one would easily pass if he had not been through this path regularly like the elder.
"I don't know. But I think we've got to hurry and enter the Artsy Water Sect now. I want to finish my errands... I miss my ho and my family so much," Zheng-Fu imdiately changed the topic, making a sad expression, saying he missed his ho and his family that he had left for months.
Tsk!!!
"This kid really has so many secrets... Alright, I'll open the moving gate. You should stay behind ; otherwise, this spell won't work because there's an outsider," Elder Hai-Tu said slightly angrily, but he did not take it seriously. Then he told Zheng-Fu to hide behind himself because opening the moving gate required no outsiders to stand in the way.
"Yes…!"
As Zheng-Fu hid behind Elder Hai-Tu, the elder quickly began to move his hands in the empty air. In the blink of an eye, on the simple flat cliff, a faint blue light began to illuminate. Then it began to light up until the surface of the cliff beca a translucent area.
'Is this the pattern of a moving spell? Really complicated. It would take a very long ti to study the characters used to create it, and it would be very unlikely that the Artsy Water Sect would allow to practice it if I'm not a disciple of the sect,' Zheng-Fu said to himself in his mind, excitedly in disbelief after seeing the spell patterns' characters on the cliff in front of him.
Because this moving gate was made up of hundreds of thousands of spell alphabets strung together in a very intricate style that Zheng-Fu could not imdiately discern, unlike the spell traps or sealing spells at the common stone gates, this moving gate spell was much more difficult.
Whoooooosh!!!
"Alright, Zheng-Fu Kid, I finished opening the moving gate. Let's go. If you delay, the door will close," the elder hurriedly told Zheng-Fu to follow him into the moving gate because the opening ti was limited.
"Yes, Elder!"
Swish!!!
Swish!!!
In a dium-sized courtyard with two large pillars standing next to each other, similar to the gateway to the interior of the Artsy Water Sect...
"Sigh... Why do we have to keep an eye on these two stupid pillars?" a skinny young man dressed in the Artsy Water Sect's pale blue robe spoke wearily as he stood guard.
"Yaaaaawn... What are you groaning about? Or do you want to go and guard the tomb behind the mountain?" another young man beside him interjected, lazily stretching out his arms.
"Oh no, if I have to go to the tomb behind the mountain, I'd rather guard here," the skinny young man imdiately refused, having to choose between here and the tomb.
"Then stop complaining. Let's continue to watch. Our shift is running out. Besides, it's very comfortable here, and our work is very simple. We don't have to worry about anything. By the way, I haven't seen anything happening at this moving gate for decades.
Today it'd be like…"
Whoooooooooosh!!!
"Wha… what… what happened?"
It wasn't long before the other young man had finished speaking when, suddenly, the huge stone pillars flashed a blue light. Then, followed by such overwhelming pressure that the legs of the two young guards who were standing helplessly limped. But because of his duty, the skinny young man had to grit his teeth and try to ignite the alarm signal.
Booooooom!!!
When the alarm firework was ignited, a red beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky above the Artsy Water Sect and Artsy Water Capital City, making tens of millions of people on this island clearly visible.
At one of the luxurious mansions within Artsy Water Capital City...
Huh...?
"Is that the Artsy Water Sect's alarm?"
"That's right, Leader. This ans soone is intruding into the Artsy Water Sect!"
"Go! Let's go see it."
"Yes!"
At a large mansion on the top of a hill, not far from the Artsy Water Sect...
"Is there an intruder?"
"Probably, Leader. Judging by the red signal flares, there must be soone invading."
"This will be fun. Let's go and see!"
"Yes, Leader!"
At a mansion in the middle of the desert surrounded by many small mountains, looking like a marine fortress...
"What happened at the Artsy Water Sect?"
"There must have been an intruder, sir, Master Leader. Because the fireworks were red to indicate an intrusion, sir."
"Is there an intruder? Who dares to even break into the Artsy Water Sect like that? Let's go see them. I believe that greedy snake Ming-He-Han and Oldy Jung-Kong-Zou-Dun will also go see it. We must hurry."
"Yes, Clan Leader!!!"
As soon as the alarm flares appeared, the three great clans, as well as the various noble families within the city, imdiately headed towards the Artsy Water Sect, curious as to what was going on that caused the sect to fire such alarm flares.
