"Boom!"
However, just as Shangguan Zhaixing was basking in his moment of triumph, near Liangyi Mountain, countless murderous intents seemed to materialize into thousands of sharp blades, all rushing directly towards him.
Those blades not only carried a murderous aura but also contained the purest saintly power left by the Five Sages of Liangyi Mountain.
Although many years have passed and the spiritual power has weakened considerably, it is still the power of a sage.
How could a mere alchemist like him possibly contend with that?
The moment she sensed danger, Shangguan Zhaixing swiftly turned her head, and the sudden burst of spiritual energy almost grazed her forehead as it flew past.
In the end, a massive spatial rift was left in the place where he had just been.
Seeing this situation, large beads of sweat immediately appeared on Shangguan Zhaixing's forehead, and a wave of fear surged through his heart.
Without a doubt, if his reflexes had been even a fraction slower just now, he would likely have been decapitated by now.
"Is this the killing formation that the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion mentioned? It is truly terrifying!"
"This Southern Lin Great Sage truly lives up to being the foremost sword cultivator of the Northern Yan Dynasty. So many years have passed, yet his killing formation can still effortlessly slay those at the Cauldron Transformation stage."
"Fortunately, I have the array-breaking key gifted by the master of the Tianji Pavilion."
"A little killing formation, how laughable, how laughable."
However, in the next moment, Shangguan Zhaixing's face turned the color of pig liver: "Damn it! The secret key given to me by the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion... I lost it!" The thought of the eternal life and endless benefits just beyond this killing array, and yet he had lost the key to unlock it.
Shangguan Zhaixing wished she could slap herself twice.
What should I do?
The first thing he thought of was the Tianji Pavilion.
The master of the Tianji Pavilion, with his divine foresight, probably foresaw his own foolish actions long ago.
If I hurry back to the Tianji Pavilion now, I might still make it in time.
"I hope the master of the Tianji Pavilion still has a spare secret key."
"However, even without the key, someone as powerful as the master of the Tianji Pavilion should have other ways to break this killing formation!"
After muttering to himself for a couple of sentences atop Liangyi Mountain, Shangguan Zhaixing did not pause any longer and once again transformed into a black sword light, swiftly heading towards Dragon City.
But at this moment, it was not far away.
Liu Qiankun looked at the black sword light swiftly fleeing through the sky and couldn't help but frown: "Is that... Shangguan Zhaixing?"
"Strange, didn't he buy the opportunity for immortality from the Master of the Celestial Pavilion? He should be exploring the Two Instruments Mountain right now. Why is he rushing to Dragon City?"
"Could it be that we were deceived by the master of the Tianji Pavilion?"
He touched his chin.
Speaking of which, he had heard the name of this Liangyi Mountain many times, but according to his memory, that Liangyi Mountain was a barren land with no spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Is there really something fishy going on here?"
Liu Qiankun couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful, but after squeezing the wooden box in his hand, he ultimately decided to go and take a look.
This wooden box was bought with two celestial-grade magical treasures and some protective elixirs.
Even if it's just an empty box, it is now a priceless treasure.
In any case, he had to go to Liangyi Mountain and take a look. Even if he was deceived, he had to get a clear understanding..
At the same time, within the Tianji Pavilion.
Watching her master Liu Qiankun's departing figure, Jun Yao couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Although his master was slightly superior to Shangguan Zhaixing in various situations, Shangguan Zhaixing was, after all, a person of the demonic path.
If he used some trick to seize the opportunity for immortality before Liu Qiankun, I'm afraid Liu Qiankun would never return.
After some thought, she poured a cup of tea for Li Wen and then asked with a worried expression, "Senior, can you predict who will ultimately seize the opportunity for immortality in this contest at Liangyi Mountain, my master or Shangguan Zhaixing?"
Li Wen was originally planning how to reasonably use this large amount of Heavenly Dao points when he suddenly heard Jun Yao's question and immediately became interested.
Using the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet to predict the future? This is interesting. I can use it to find out when I can finally leave this godforsaken place.
[Stone tablet, help me calculate how long it will take for me to gain the strength to withstand the heavenly tribulation and successfully leave the Celestial Secrets Pavilion.]
The future is unpredictable, with many variables. Forcibly calculating it requires an enormous amount of Heavenly Dao points. To predict Li Wen's future, ten billion Heavenly Dao points are needed.
One billion points of Heavenly Dao value?
Li Wen's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He had worked himself to the bone to earn just a few tens of thousands of Heavenly Dao points, and now it would take a billion points just to glimpse his future. He might as well save those points to improve his cultivation!
[Stone tablet, can you predict the outcome of this struggle for the chance of immortality on Liangyi Mountain?]
[Calculating the outcome of the Two Yi Mountain conflict requires three million Heavenly Dao points.]
Li Wen was almost choked to death by the tea that Jun Yao handed over; predicting such a near future also required three million points of Heavenly Dao value.
It seems that before I become successful, I should stop trying to predict the future.
At this moment, Jun Yao was staring with her big, watery eyes, looking at Li Wen with great anticipation.
"Senior Li, how is it? Can you calculate it?"
"Cough, cough!"
Li Wen coughed awkwardly.
"Miss Junyao, have you perhaps forgotten? The information from my Tianji Pavilion adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange. Predicting the future comes at a great cost!"
Jun Yao's expression froze for a moment, but then she nodded: "It was indeed presumptuous of me. I beg your pardon, senior."
"Your master's strength surpasses that of Shangguan Zhaixing. I think the chance of obtaining this longevity opportunity will be greater for your master."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yao immediately expressed his gratitude by cupping his hands towards Li Wen: "Thank you, senior!"
In fact, the current strength information of Shangguan Zhaixing has not yet been updated to the Longevity Realm on the Heavenly Dao Stele, which indicates that Liu Qiankun still has a chance.
After contemplating for a while, Li Wen still decided to convert all of his Heavenly Dao points into cultivation.
When the time comes to successfully step out of the Tianji Pavilion, he must take the most beautiful young cultivator and indulge in this otherworldly realm.
