#6 - Chapter 6 Soul Locking Armor
Zhang Yuanjing exhaled a long breath and collapsed to the ground. He felt extremely tired, an indescribable weariness, unlike the four Qi Refining disciples who still had a sense of victory.
"Senior Brother Yuanjing, now is not the time to rest. We need to go and support the other three teams."
Liu Yuanqing looked at the scattered and disappearing异魔 (Yi Mo, translated as 'Otherworldly Demons'), and sighed softly. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he would have really wanted to catch one to see if he could bring it out.
"How many Otherworldly Demons did they encounter?" Zhang Yuanjing asked weakly.
"Not too many, the most is Senior Brother Yuanzhen's team, eleven I think. He used a Golden Lightning Talisman to kill five, and is currently battling the other six. The situation is still good, and he should be able to break through on his own. The situation with Junior Sister Cheng's team is similar." Liu Yuanqing rubbed his scalp and continued, "The key is Yuanmeng's team, which is more dangerous. Ah, let's talk as we go."
Guo Yuanmeng had always been a meticulous person despite his rough exterior, but once he relaxed, he became a truly uncouth man. When he first led the team, he was cautious and careful, not greedy for the treasures drifting from the spatial rifts. As time passed, he gradually became bored and felt there was no danger, so he focused his attention on searching for treasures.
His luck was truly good. Before long, he obtained a large piece of Five-Colored Spiritual Gold, a primary material for refining magical artifacts. He was immediately overjoyed, and stirred up the desires of the entire team. Everyone searched along the way and obtained some natural treasures, which could be considered a good harvest.
However, good times don't last. Near a spatial rift, a Qi Refining disciple was so focused on grabbing a black stone flying out of the rift that he didn't notice a tiny spatial rift under his feet. Although it was imperceptible, the moment he touched it, it immediately became a vortex, generating a huge suction force that sucked him in, and his entire body was visibly twisted into a pile of minced meat and disappeared.
This accident made the others more careful, but they didn't truly restrain themselves, and still scattered here and there in a disorganized manner.
Therefore, when the Otherworldly Demons attacked, including Guo Yuanmeng and Chen Yuanfei, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were all caught off guard and made mistakes.
Two Qi Refining disciples were immediately pounced on and had their souls devoured by the Otherworldly Demons. Chen Yuanfei was seriously injured, having an arm bitten off by an Otherworldly Demon.
Guo Yuanmeng reacted relatively quickly, and timely activated a low-grade Golden Lightning Talisman, blasting three Otherworldly Demons to death, and took the opportunity to kill two more, thus managing to escape.
The remaining three fled all the way, and were surrounded by nine Otherworldly Demons about fifty miles from the entrance, barely maintaining their defense with low-grade Earth Lightning Talismans, but they definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"These Otherworldly Demons are almost immune to ordinary attacks. Only lightning and fire can completely kill them. Junior Brother Yuanqing, among us, only you cultivate fire techniques, the rest of us have nothing to do with lightning or fire. Are you confident? How many lightning talismans do you have left?"
Although Zhang Yuanjing wanted to uphold the righteousness of his fellow disciples, he was still reluctant to risk his life to save Guo Yuanmeng.
"Senior Brother Zhang, don't worry, I still have a few lightning talismans left. Saving the three of them is definitely not a problem," Liu Yuanqing said confidently in a deep voice. "We focused all our efforts on completing the Sect Leader's instructions and investigating the situation here, and didn't have time to search for treasures. After we rescue Senior Brother Guo, we'll have to ask him for some, which can be considered compensation for the consumption of the lightning talismans."
Zhang Yuanjing thought to himself, 'Do I even care about his measly possessions?' So, he stopped speaking.
Liu Yuanqing summoned the Fire Kirin, slashed dozens of times, destroying the body of the Core Formation Otherworldly Demon, and then led the remaining five people, heading rapidly towards the left side of the entrance. The figures of the six people flashed continuously in the dark void.
When Guo Yuanmeng and the others fled, their route deviated somewhat, but fortunately not too much. Relying on the map they had drawn on their way in, and communicating through voice transmission, Liu Yuanqing and the others finally arrived at the place where they were surrounded after two hours.
At this time, the power of the Earth Lightning Talismans was very weak and was about to be exhausted. The Otherworldly Demons were ready to move, and could swarm up at any time.
Guo Yuanmeng was in an extremely disheveled state. His blue Taoist robe was rolled up, revealing his white undergarments. The bun on his head was also a mess, scattered on his shoulders. Obviously, he had been experiencing high-intensity battles and had no time to tidy himself up.
Seeing Liu Yuanqing and the others rushing over, he almost burst into tears.
Since Chen Yuanfei was seriously injured, he had been under tremendous pressure. On the one hand, he was constantly facing the threat of death, and whether he could escape was still unknown; on the other hand, he was worried about Chen Yuanfei's injuries, and didn't know how to explain it to his master, Jie Tianwei. Chen Yuanfei was Jie Tianwei's most valued disciple.
The Otherworldly Demons in the Qi Refining realm had intelligence, but it was not high. When they discovered that cultivators had come to help, they immediately adopted a tactic of dividing their forces, but simply divided into two groups, six to block and three to surround.
Seeing that the Otherworldly Demons had made a mistake in their response, Liu Yuanqing immediately led Zhang Yuanjing and the others, forming the Azure Dragon Sword Formation. Without entangling, he acted as the vanguard, with Zhang Yuanjing and the five others defending. With lightning speed, they killed two of the Otherworldly Demons in the middle, thus breaking through and directly killing the three Otherworldly Demons surrounding Guo Yuanmeng and the others.
The remaining four Otherworldly Demons chased from behind, but were blocked by Zhang Yuanjing and the four Qi Refining disciples who were skilled in earth-attribute techniques. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the surprise attack, Liu Yuanqing killed another Otherworldly Demon surrounding Guo Yuanmeng and the three others, and smoothly brought them into the formation.
The remaining six Otherworldly Demons were at a loss. Two of them simply turned and fled.
Liu Yuanqing seized the opportunity to charge and kill another Otherworldly Demon that was hesitating, and the remaining Otherworldly Demons immediately fled in fear.
Looking at the Otherworldly Demons disappearing into the darkness, Liu Yuanqing felt extremely happy, and a hint of smugness appeared on his face.
Zhang Yuanjing turned his head to look at Guo Yuanmeng, and couldn't help but grin. However, seeing Chen Yuanfei's miserable state, he felt a trace of fear in his heart, and immediately lost the desire to laugh.
Guo Yuanmeng stood next to Liu Yuanqing, took a long breath, and bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Yuanqing, thank you for saving my life! If it weren't for your righteous rescue, the three of us would definitely have died at the hands of the Otherworldly Demons!"
Liu Yuanqing glanced at him and pointed at Chen Yuanfei, who was pale and distraught, and said, "How are Junior Brother Chen's injuries?"
Guo Yuanmeng lowered his head and said softly, "His life is not in danger."
"Junior Brother Chen is a genius, what a pity!" Liu Yuanqing sighed deeply, with some blame in his tone.
For cultivators, Qi is the foundation, the spirit is the essence, and the body is the bridge. Without the bridge, one cannot use Qi to refine the spirit, and the path to immortality is cut off.
No matter how talented and well-connected Chen Yuanfei is, without rare elixirs to replenish his physical body, he will never reach the Core Formation stage in his life.
Hearing this, Chen Yuanfei looked helplessly at Liu Yuanqing, and barely managed to say, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for coming to rescue me. Junior Brother is, Junior Brother is very grateful!"
Liu Yuanqing originally wanted to comfort Chen Yuanfei with a few words, but on second thought, they were just pale words, so he decided not to say them.
So, he pointed to two Qi Refining disciples to help Chen Yuanfei, and said, "This is not a place to stay for long, let's go to the entrance first. Junior Brother Song and Junior Sister Cheng are already waiting there."
On the way back, Zhang Yuanjing felt quite depressed in his heart.
People who cultivate are fighting for a chance on the path against the heavens, where danger and opportunity coexist. If one cannot withstand pressure and overcome fear, one's state of mind cannot be improved, one's cultivation will naturally progress slowly, and breaking through realms will be even more difficult.
When they arrived at the entrance, Song Yuanzhen and Cheng Yuanshan's teams were waiting in full battle array with the Black Tortoise Sword Formation.
Song Yuanzhen's team was still good. Except for two injured Qi Refining disciples, there were no casualties. Cheng Yuanshan's team, however, was missing one Qi Refining disciple.
Although everyone had gained something, the losses were not small, so the atmosphere was a bit heavy. After a few simple greetings, they didn't say much, but silently waited for Niu Yuanli's voice transmission.
About half an hour later, a message came from outside that the power of lightning at the entrance had temporarily subsided and they could safely exit. So, Liu Yuanqing, Song Yuanzhen, and Cheng Yuanshan stayed behind, and the others filed out one by one. Liu Yuanqing carried lightning talismans and was the last to exit.
After Liu Yuanqing came out, he contacted the two Core Formation elders, but there was no response for a long time. Niu Yuanli's contact with Han Tianzai was also the same.
After waiting for two days, Liu Yuanqing received a reply from Yu Tianwan, asking them to return to the sect first and report to Sect Leader Wu in person. Liu Yuanqing knew that something big had happened and didn't want to ask too many questions, so he led everyone to set off and return to the mountain gate.
After more than ten days of trekking, everyone successfully returned to Tianque Mountain.
Liu Yuanqing stopped Zhang Yuanjing alone and said, "Senior Brother Yuanjing, when we went to rescue Senior Brother Guo in the Void Demon Space, I originally wanted to ask him for some treasures as a reward, but seeing their tragic situation, I was too embarrassed to ask out of consideration for our fellow disciples. Later, I remembered that there was a Qi Refining disciple in the team who acted without authorization and obtained a storage bracelet, so I opened it and took a look, and there were really good things, especially a spiritual weapon, which is just right for Senior Brother Yuanjing!"
As he spoke, Liu Yuanqing touched the storage bracelet, and a thin black armor appeared in his hand.
"Senior brother, take a good look, this is called the Spirit Locking Armor. It has no other use, only one particularly strange function, that is, to help cultivators stabilize their meridians and spiritual power throughout their bodies. No matter how violent the spiritual power in your body is, this treasure can lock it down."
"Spirit Locking Armor?" Zhang Yuanjing asked in surprise, "Specially locks violent spiritual power? This...this was really found in that storage bracelet?"
"Of course," Liu Yuanqing said with a smile, "If I had this thing before, I would have taken it out for Senior Brother last time in the Zhangxuan Hall, how could I have waited until today."
It's no wonder Zhang Yuanjing was suspicious. Previously, Song Yuanzhen suddenly took out a Golden Scale Fruit, which cultivators could take, but it could not suppress the violence of spiritual power. Less than a month later, Liu Yuanqing suddenly took out a Spirit Locking Armor, saying that it could lock the violent spiritual power. This was too much of a coincidence.
Zhang Yuanjing smiled embarrassedly: "I don't mean that, I just think this thing came too timely. I shouldn't accept rewards for no merit, but I really need it, so I have to shamelessly take it for now and return it to you in the future."
Liu Yuanqing waved his hand and said: "It's just a spiritual weapon anyway, although it is considered a top-notch item, it is only suitable for use below the Foundation Establishment stage. Senior brother, you can take it."
Zhang Yuanjing was about to say more, Liu Yuanqing pointed in the direction of Zhenyi Peak, said "I still have to meet with Sect Leader Senior Brother", and then said goodbye and left.
If the Spirit Locking Armor is as Liu Yuanqing said, then it must be a rare top-grade spiritual weapon. Although this item cannot be used for fighting, it is extremely beneficial for cultivators to practice in seclusion.
Which cultivator doesn't go into seclusion for several years or tens of years? Core Formation cultivators can even go into seclusion for decades. During such a long period of cultivation, in order to prevent restlessness and instability, most cultivators carefully circulate their energy and practice their qi, so their cultivation progress is naturally slow.
With the protection of this Spirit Locking Armor, there is no need to worry too much about the disorder of mana operation, and cultivation can undoubtedly be more courageous and精进 (Jing Jin, translated as 'vigorous and diligent').
Zhang Yuanjing clutched the armor, which was as light as silk, and couldn't help but feel a myriad of thoughts and surging emotions.
