Chapter 1289: Battle in the Ying Sea Again

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar managed to reach the Immortal Soul Third Level. As his palm struck, it wasn’t rushed but wasn’t slow either. It crushed Shao Qingcheng’s virtual entity and her virtual entity was on the verge of collapse.

Shao Qingcheng was provoked and howled. A white jade flute appeared, a treasure that she cultivated using her Mystical Way of the Heavenly Being. Although it was only in the gestation realm, it was still very extraordinary.

However, it was still insufficient to deal with Zhu Yi. Shao Qingcheng didn’t have the intention of attacking him either. She wanted to send the white jade flute into the formation that was circulating.

The green lights that intersected in the formation became brighter and brighter. They summoned a huge power that attacked towards the Vivant Joy Holy Man, Zhao Huan, Guo Zonghuang and the rest!

Zhu Yi laughed coldly and said confidently, “You still want to struggle?”

He didn’t move as he stood where he was. Zhao Huan didn’t panic either. He opened his mouth suddenly and a crimson-red fire that flashed with a streak of golden light flew out. It turned into flames in void space and seemed to form an all-engulfing fire web. The burning flames covered Shao Qingcheng’s white jade flute.

Amidst the sea of fire, a spiritual lamp appeared subtly. Shao Qingcheng also spat out blood when she saw that spiritual lamp, “Yang Heaven Lamp!”

It was the Yang Heaven Lamp that Zhu Yi too from her during the Scramble of the Ying Sea. Right now, Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar lent it to Zhao Huan to deal with him.

The Yang Heaven Fire repressed the white jade flute and the formation started to settle down again.

Shao Qingcheng wanted to summon the formation to unleash all its power, but she was suppressed by Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar. She could only struggle.

Zhu Yi scanned his surroundings and analyzed the circulation of the formation. Among Lin Feng’s disciples, he was only less adept than Li Yuanfang in the study of formation. After he created the Way of the Changes and reached the Immortal Soul Second Level, his ability to break down formations was not inferior to Li Yuanfang even if his ability to create formations was still lacking to Li Yuanfang.

He analyzed the formation in front of him carefully and knew what was going on instantly.

“It’s indeed connected to Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu in the Ying Sea.” Zhu Yi nodded his head and stood in void space. He revealed the true meaning of his Martial Way, which condensed into a practical form to suppress the entire formation. This prevented the formation from circulating, while his palm continued to exert pressure on Shao Qingcheng’s virtual entity. At this point, her virtual entity was almost completely destroyed.

Shao Qingcheng was completely desperate now. She wanted to struggle but was captured by Zhu Yi.

After Zhu Yi captured Shao Qingcheng, he said to her, “You harmed my mother in the past. Your avatar, Lady Shao, was the one who commit the deed. Now that you have cultivated the Mystical Way of the Heavenly Being and returned to your own body, her problem is now yours. I’ve said before – I will capture you and bring you to my mother’s grave. It’s time for me to fulfil this desire.”

Shao Qingcheng turned dismal and gritted her teeth. She wasn’t so agitated even in the face of death. However, her entire person was shaking tremendously now.

“Bastard child, don’t you dare!” Shao Qingcheng roared, and her Immortal Soul started to distort furiously. It was about to burst apart.

Zhu Yi said, “You’ve no choice now. Suppress!”

An overwhelming force descended and completely suppressed Shao Qingcheng’s Immortal Soul. It could no longer move.

As Zhu Yi’s powers jerked, Shao Qingcheng’s body appeared with many talismans. They landed in Zhu Yi’s hands. Zhu Yi took a look at them. He lifted these talismans immediately.

Following that, the huge formation beneath him started to circulate.

The formation was modified from the Celestial Sky Formation. The original Celestial Sky Formation combined with the City in the Sky and was now in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Although it was incomplete, it was much more complete than Shao Qingcheng’s formation. Zhu Yi managed to control this formation quickly.

The bright green lights turned dimmer at this point and streaks of rays seemed to become solid. The power of the formation was initiated to its extreme and seemed capable of erupting instantly.

Zhu Yi looked at the Vivant Joy Holy Man and Grandmaster Huang Yang before smiling, “It’s been tough on the both of you. I didn’t brief the both of you on my plan earlier. Please forgive me.”

The Vivant Joy Holy Man, Grandmaster Huang Yang and the others were in a state of trance and shock when they heard his words.

They were all awed by Zhu Yi’s prediction of Shao Qingcheng’s plan and the Great Sun Avatar’s advancement into the Immortal Soul Third Level.

Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar was obtained from the Great Sun Holy Man Wang Hao. It was his flesh after he perished in the Ying Sea. This was something that everyone knew.

The Great Sun Holy Man was a powerful cultivator in the peak of the Immortal Soul Second Level. His remains were cultivated by Zhu Yi into his avatar, allowing Zhu Yi to obtain an Immortal Soul Second Level avatar even though he wasn’t in the Immortal Soul Stage yet then. It was unprecedented and became a legend.

After all these years of cultivation and the tireless cultivation of the Original Stellar Lee in the Starry Sea, Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar became stronger and stronger.

However, overcoming the last barrier and reaching the Immortal Soul Third Level wasn’t something easy.

Since time immemorial, there had been many cultivators who failed to reach the Immortal Soul Third Level even though they tried their best.

In the Great Zhou Empire, Liang Pan was the first royal candidate to form the Immortal Soul Third Level in the empire for the past few thousand years.

The Two Elders of Ice and Fire cultivated for many thousand years, but they still failed to advance past the Immortal Soul Second Level.

Disregarding Mahayana level magic treasures, it was only the Great Void Sect that had more than 5 Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators in the Divine Lands.

However, Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar managed to reach the Immortal Soul Third Level in front of everyone’s eyes. He reached the stage that everyone dreamed of. He left the Vivant Joy Holy Man, who was only in the Immortal Soul First Level, and Grandmaster Huang Yang, who hadn’t even form the Immortal Soul, in a state of trance.”

What left them even more bothered was that Zhu Yi seemed to do everything so easily.

Grandmaster Huang Yang didn’t realize, but the Vivant Joy Holy Man seemed to understand something, “Winning Zhu Hongwu and capturing Shao Qingcheng has removed all of Zhu Yi’s mental barriers. I believe it’s not just the Great Sun Avatar that has made progress. Even his original body that formed the virtual entity must have taken a big leap forward!”

Besides forming the Immortal Soul Third Level, Zhu Yi also managed to deduce Shao Qingcheng’s plan accurately. The Vivant Joy Holy Man and Grandmaster Huang Yang were both shocked by his brilliance.

Although Zhu Yi’s Way of the Changes couldn’t provide him detailed information, it gave him important hints. It was a light amidst a layer of fog.

As he combined the hints and other news that he had, Zhu Yi managed to deduce everything. He followed the light in the darkness and managed to see the path he couldn’t see clearly before.

Liang Pan’s instructions and Shao Qingcheng’s detailed plan seemed to become clear to his eyes.

He lent the Yang Heaven Lamp to Zhao Huan and the others for protection and even arranged for the Flowing Waves Holy Man to remain on Mount Lan. He planned everything conscientiously and didn’t give Shao Qingcheng any hope.

Although they knew that Zhu Yi’s deductions using the Way of the Changes were bound to be affected by the target’s powers and cultivation level, the Vivant Joy Holy Man and the others were still shocked.

After Zhu Yi greeted the Vivant Joy Holy Man and the others, he turned his head towards Zhao Huan, Gu Zonghuang and the bunch of Celestial Sectof Wonders’ disciples. He kept Shao Qingcheng and the white jade flute before saying, “All of you can return to Mount Lan on your own. I shall leave the Yang Heaven Lamp with you. I will proceed to the Ying Sea with the Flowing Waves Holy Man later. There will be other sects proceeding towards the Arctic State to help hold the fort, in case there’s other schemes in mind.”

Zhao Huan bowed and answered, “Yes, Second Senior Uncle.”

As he spoke, distant void space broke apart and a refined-looking elder appeared. He was in the Immortal Soul Second Level. It was the Flowing Waves Holy Man.

The Flowing Waves Holy Man nodded his head when he saw Zhu Yi. “I’ve followed your instructions and captured the target.” After he finished saying, he passed a small world constructed from his own powers to Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar.

After Zhu Yi received the small world over, he pointed to the formation beneath him, “Since this is the case, let’s go.”

The cultivated green lights inside the formation moved suddenly and tore apart void space. The center of the formation surface with a few talismans. They combined together and lined up before turning into a ray of light that served as a guiding light. This guiding light pulled the formation and escaped into void space far away.

Zhu Yi and the Flowing Waves Holy Man followed the formation, whereas Zhao Huan, Guo Zonghuang, the Vivant Joy Holy Man and the others remained where they were.

Those who remained behind also included the bunch of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who were in cahoots with Shao Qingcheng. They were helpless against Zhao Huan and the others and could only submit.

Zhu Yi and the Flowing Waves Holy Man transcended void space and saw white clouds rumbling in front of them. The sea surface beneath them appeared calm, but a storm seemed to be brewing.

Illusory realms surfaced subtly, and they were difficult to be identified. If one was not wary enough, he might be trapped in one of these realms.

This was the Ying Sea, one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas.

Zhu Yi and the Flowing Waves Holy Man entered the Ying Sea. The talisman in Zhu Yi’s hands continued to flash quietly.

“Master will be here shortly.” Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar thought, and he told the Flowing Waves Holy Man. The Flowing Waves Holy Man nodded his head.

Void space in front of them jerked and a huge celestial mountain with a circumference of 4000 miles was revealed. It appeared from the white clouds in front of the both of them.

The celestial mountain was covered plates of jade that formed a ball shape.

This was the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares was seated above the main peak of the mountain.

Liang Pan and the rest tried to find the concealed Fangzhang Celestial Mountain and caused movements in the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain. Lin Feng, who possessed both the Penglai and Yingzhou Celestial Mountains, felt a sensation and began to search based on the clues he had.

Whereas Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang and the others chased Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu into the Ying Sea. Although they couldn’t confirm their exact position, they did have some clues and didn’t lose track of them.

Lin Feng managed to have a rough idea of where Liang Pan and the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain were. He was mounting a thorough search.

However, both parties were fighting for time. If Liang Pan managed to find the mountain before Lin Feng did and cultivate it completely, he would be able to conceal itself in the Ying Sea and it would be very difficult to find him again.

Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar and the Flowing Waves Holy Man arrived close to Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares and the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.

After ascending the mountain, Zhu Yi passed the talismans to Lin Feng. Lin Feng pointed with his finger after he saw the talismans. The talismans turned into streaks of flowing lights which circulated at the top of the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.
